Champion Idea
I have been playing league for 3-4 years now and I have loved what riot has been doing. My favorite thing that this company does is the cinematics and how some hold teasers to new events and champions. One of my favorite cinematics is for the Harrowing and always wondered why they never made the story teller into a champion. I don't know about others but I think a puppet master champion would be a nice twist to the serial killers, celestial dragons, and yordles. He doesn't have to have a action packed lore, but I would like him to have a mysterious one. I don't have any ideas on names or actual lore but I do have a good idea of how his abilities would work. He would not use mana or fury, he would have a new system known as string counters that would be provided by his passive. Most champions are released with a fair quality skin and I would love it if his would evolve his puppets as he levels his ultimate. Such as level 1 ult having clay puppets to wood at level 2 and finally mechanical. Role: Tank/Fighter Abilities (Passive) Strings of Fate: Gain 1 string counter every 10 seconds or by killing r assisting in an enemy death. Max Counters: 5
(Q): costs 1 string counter Kills ally minion turning it into a basic puppet. Can be controlled (max 2). Basic puppets have slightly elevated stats as minions(getting stronger with more levels) and will drop same amount of gold when killed. Reduce passive timer by .5 secs when killing unit. On death will explode dealing magic damage. 6 second CD
(W): costs 2 string counters Gains a shield for some percent max health and doubles current health of puppets for 4 seconds. 18-10 second CD
(E): costs 2 string counter Shoots out thread in direction piercing enemies and slowing all enemy champions hit by it. Slow increased for every remaining puppet. Gain 1 string counter per champion hit. 9 second CD
(R): costs 3 string counters Enter a stasis like state. Destroy all current puppets and raise one slain enemy or ally for 20 seconds. They become a puppet and puppet takes reduced damage if within a certain range of you. If enemy is slain by you or puppet timer extended by 8 seconds. assists Extend timer by 4 seconds. All abilities except ultimate become that of the revived target until you exit statis state or recast the ability. Every second spent in statis state extends your next timer by the amount of time spent.
I know that this probably won't be created and a riot employee might not even see it but I would like your opinion on this champion and whether you think it would be a good addition to the game.
