Champion Idea
PASSIVE: When boomerang is in hand, gain 100 attack range and bonus magic damage on hit and access to W, E, R. When boomerang isn't in hand, lose the range and extra damage but gain 20% attack speed; switching to a shortsword. When the boomerang drops, pick it up to gain it immediately, or wait 20 seconds.
-
Q - With Boomerang: Throws boomerang in an arc, damaging targets along the way. Up to 2 enemy champions hit. The third enemy champion struck drops the boomerang. Without Boomerang: Quick Slash for damage in a small cone.
-
W - Active: AOE boomerang slash around champion, knocking aside the first champion struck. Passive: Every 6th basic attack is a boomerang throw that will not drop at 300 range.
-
E - Shields self with boomerang taking 25% less incoming damage for 1 second, and shielding self for X for 3 seconds. If boomerang is not in hand, only shield value. (could have a shielding animation much like Fiora's.)
-
R - Throws the boomerang with the force of a hurricane dealing massive line damage and slow, knocking aside the first champion struck. Boomerang takes 4 seconds to return.
I got the inspiration from watching Inu-Yasha again for the first time in forever. When I thought about it I figured it would be a cool concept to have the weapon the champion uses to be the passive of a champion and then the rest of the kit based off that. The champion could play like a tank and used for CC, peel and engage, or built more damage heavy and be a bruiser/diver.
It could be possible to catch the boomerang quicker by moving towards it on it's return arc from Q, R. I also played around with the idea of not having to catch the boomerang but instead having her R impower her basic abilites kinda like Karma mechanic but it seems less fun. Having to catch the boomerang also allows windows for weakness among her strengths.
I'm sure there's better ideas for her abilities, these are just the best I could come up with. I'm not much of an artist or else i'd love to add some sketches of the champion and skills to get a better idea. If Riot decides to take this champion as a project i'm sure they'll have no problem taking on that task. Thank you for your time. (:
