(There’s no prologue. This is a character that I’ve made more than 12 months ago and I wanted to complete it, because since then it was a Work In Progress.)

#Lore "Family means responsibility, and I have only one left… yet." - Radumir, Orphan of Despair

"The chains of despair are whipping, guided by the blood of his family – Radumir was the next and eventually the last hemomancer in his family line. Through hate and despair he was reborn as an orphan, to take revenge on the only one brother he had - Vladimir. In his childhood, Radumir’s brother passionately wanted to explore the guts of other beings and he joyfully guessed the colour of their blood. Furthermore, his brother slit the family pets in order to find amusement in the last breath of a dying person.

*In a scarlet sea of sorrow, poured out by his slain family, Radumir, close to his last heartbeat, lying amidst the blood pool, would soon join them. Vladimir’s ecstasy reached a new level, when his parents decided that Radumir, the youngest of the family, was chosen to be the next hemomancer, and not Vladimir, the oldest. When the ritual was over and Radumir was weakened, Vladimir took the opportunity and assaulted his family. He then left the mansion, knowing that he successfully murdered his family, and went on his journey. *

*With the grip of death on his throat, Radumir soaked the blood of his family where he was lying in, and regained his powers. More than that, the memory and feelings of his family do now run through his veins, causing to feel responsible for his brother’s undoing. Since then, Radumir investigated for Vladimir’s location endlessly. Like a cockroach hiding in the dark, Vladimir could not be found. Radumir then, joined the government of Noxus incognito, in order to gain intel about Vladimir’s whereabouts. *

After a long time of research, Radumir found Vladimir, but for the worse. Vladimir gained somehow the same powers, but he became very powerful. On top of that, he gained the trust and support of Noxus, leaving Radumir the only choice left – to join the League of Legends and fight against Vladimir. "

#Appearance
Radumir looks pretty much like this down below.

Radumir’s weapons are Blade-Stripes. Like in the picture above, there are two bands which have blades attached to them. Similar to this down below, but with way more blades attached.

#Champion Explanation

  • Radumir (Invented name) is Vladimir’s brother since childhood, but once Vladimir killed his family, Radumir doesn’t accept Vladimir as his brother anymore. Radumir is boldly, rebellious, arrogant, and a pessimistic optimist.

  • *The name’s origin is mixed between a man named Radu cel Frumos(Also known as ‘The Handsome’) who was the brother of Vlad III Dracula(Also known as ‘The Impaler’). I’ve taken Radu as the first part, and added ‘mir’ from Vladimir. The family of both had a tradition to name their childrens different, but with the same ending, in order to symbolize the important role of each generation. *

  • Radumir doesn’t really seek revenge for his family. When Radumir soaked the blood of his family in him to survive, he felt the pain from his family, but also love. Radumir, knowing that his brother Vladimir caused this pain, wants to stop Vladimir so that he doesn’t murder more. Of course, Radumir would never admit it, but rather says that he wants to stop Vladimir because he taints the name of his family.

  • Like written in the Lore, the family of Radumir and Vladimir has a long tradition in its genealogy, that once every generation, one hemomancer will be chosen. Their parents were no hemomancer, but one of their siblings was, but this particular sibling never had any children. Vladimir’s and Radumir’s parents might didn’t chose Vladimir because he showed a deep and unsatisfied desire to randomly murder since his childhood. Magic such as hemomancy and other skills, are not one-time available. Such magic can be developed, evolved, researched and learned by anyone, but this certain technique of hemomancy is quite rare, so only both the Blood Monk and the previous masters he absorbed, and the family of Radumir, had the power to become hemomancers.

  • *Many may ask themselves why I’d ‘butcher’ Vladimir’s lore. But please, think it over. Vladimir’s past, before he was a Teenager who stumbled upon the temple of a blood monk, is unknown. We don’t know who his family was, he’s a very mysterious character. His bloodlust seemed to have reached a certain level before he slaughtered those two young persons in his Lore, otherwise he wouldn’t know that he couldn’t suppress his desires of doing so. Somehow, everything fits perfectly together. *

  • What is not written in his Lore, is that Radumir had to eliminate various people in the Noxus Government in order to gain a higher rank and access to Vladimir’s whereabouts.

  • *Radumir is no ordinary Hemomancer. Due to the assault of Vladimir, his own blood doesn’t exist anymore. Instead, he carries the blood of his family inside of him. He doesn’t want that the last thing he has from his family, gets tainted by the blood of others. Thus Radumir controls two blade-stripes with the blood, instead like Vladimir, to take the blood force out of enemies and into him. *

  • Radumir is supposed to be a great AD Caster who can contribute in a fight with abilities that scales on AD. His damage is mainly coming from his abilities, but his basic attacks does also add greatly to his damage done. Radumir is best played top or mid, perhaps at bot too.

  • Fact is: In Vladimir’s judgement, he declares that he hails from a noble family and that he wants to bring glory to his homeland, Noxus. Of course, it’s just a lie that he says that, as all he wants is to kill.

The monk folded his arms across his chest. "Why do you want to join the League, Vladimir?" asked Dmitri expectantly.

"I wish to bring honor to my noble house and to hone my craft," Vladimir answered immediately.

The apparition before cracked a bemused smile. "Why do you want to join the League, Vladimir?" it repeated.

"To fight for the glory of Noxus, my homeland," Vladimir replied, hesitant.

Dimitri's amusement vanished. He looked displeased. "Why do you want to join the League, Vladimir?" he echoed.

Vladimir's face darkened. He answered, slowly this time, "I must kill."

The old monk nodded. "How does it feel, exposing your mind?" he asked. Vladimir bared his teeth. "Liberating, really," came his retort.

#Stats
Health 430 (+75) Attack damage 46.5 (+3) Health regen. 7.0 (+0.55) Attack speed 0.668 (+3.1%) Armor 14 (+3.5) Magic res. 30 (+0.8) Range 535 (Ranged) Mov. speed 335

#Abilities

#Innate Passive - 'Bitter Halt ':
Radumir refuses that the blood of his family is being taken by his enemies. Whenever Radumir activates a ability, he reduces all healing effects by 10%/20%/30%(Level 1/6/12) that enemies receive by damaging him for 1.5 seconds. This can stack up to 3 times and lasts for 2.5 seconds.

#Q (Skillshot & Passive) – ‘Twins of Despair ‘:
Passive: *Whenever Radumir casts “Twins of Despair” and the animation ends, the twin chains rotate extremely fast around Radumir for 2.5 seconds. For the duration, it deals to all enemy units who collide with Radumir 2%/4%/6%/8%/10% of the enemies missing health as magic damage. This can damage an enemy only once and deals double damage to Monsters & Minions (Max 150/190/230/270/310 damage to monster & minion). *

Active: Radumir immediately detaches the twin chains from his body, forming two razor sharp circles next to each other in front of him. He sends both circles simultaneously in a line, up to 650 range.* One circle deals 30/45/60/75/90 (+50% Bonus AD) physical damage**. Enemies may get hit by two chains if they are in the middle of the path.*

  • Info: Passive is applied once the two circles vanish upon reaching max range. Active’s projectile speed is similar to Draven’s E. Active goes through multiple enemies.
  • **Health Cost: ** 1%/2%/3%/4%/5% max health
  • **Cooldown: ** 12/11/10/9/8

#W (Basic Attack Enhancer & Basic Attack Reset) - 'End of Disclosure '
*Radumir detaches his twin chains and forms two average-sized spears that he throws with the next basic attack within 1.5 seconds. Radumir’s next basic attack deals bonus damage equal to 50% of Radumir’s Bonus AD and 10% of his missing health. If successfully hit, Radumir is healed for 10%/15%/20%/25%/30% of the damage done. *
If, however, an ally Champion near by 450 range of Radumir has lower health than Radumir, the healing received will be split and half of the amount heals Radumir and the other half heals the allied Champion.

  • Info: Bonus damage can’t critically strike. Works with On-Hit Effects. Healing won’t be split if Radumir is the one with the lowest health within 450 range.
  • **Health Cost: ** None
  • **Cooldown: ** 12/10.5/9/7.5/5

#E (AoE) - 'Children of Hypocrisy ':
*Upon activation, Radumir’s rage allows him to outburst in a small AoE of 250 range around him. The outburst sends forth the blade-stripes from his body to near by enemies. All near by enemies are immediately pierced by the blade-stripes and receive with each cast 40/55/70/85/100(+35% AD) physical damage, are slowed by 50% for 0.5 seconds and receive one stack of ’Hypocrisy’ for 1.5 seconds. This ability can be cast two more times if the conditions are met. *
Second Cast: *Radumir once again deals the same damage and slow, but only to those who have one stack of ’Hypocrisy’. Additionally silences enemies hit for 0.5 seconds and adds another stack of ’Hypocrisy’. *
Third Cast: Radumir once again deals the same damage and slow, but only to those who have two stack of ’Hypocrisy’. Additionally, stacks of ’Hypocrisy’ are consumed and the targets receive a debuff called ’Child of Hypocrisy’ that lasts for 3.5 seconds. ’Child of Hypocrisy’ increases all subsequent damage done by Radumir by 10%/15%/20%/25%/30%.

  • Info: This ability goes on Cooldown upon first cast. This ability becomes available once enemies who have stacks of Hypocrisy are 250 range near by. This ability can be cast while walking, but still needs 0.3 seconds of casting animation. There’s a Cooldown of 0.5 seconds between each cast.
  • **Health Cost: ** 7% Current Health each cast
  • **Cooldown: ** 15 on all ranks

#Ultimate - 'Chains of Affinity ':
This ability has no Cooldown. Instead, this ability fuels by the blood of enemies and thus shows in the resource bar the current amount available.
Passive: Each time Radumir damages an enemy unit, he stores part of its blood on his blade-stripes and receives 5/10/15 Blood Points.
Upon Activation: *Radumir locks on a enemy Champion within 550 range and channels a blood river from him to his target. Within 2.5 seconds, Radumir transfuses infected blood into the enemy target and deals over the course 250/300/350(+100% AP) magic damage. In addition, 30%/40%/50% of the damage done on the target by Radumir, while the channel was active, will be dealt to enemies 550 range around the target after the channel ends as magic damage. While channelling, Radumir can freely walk, cast abilities, use active items or summoner spells. *

  • Info: Ability can be interrupted by simply running or flashing more than 550 range away from Radumir. Ultimate can be only cast if 100 Blood Points are reached. The damage that is applied to near by enemies, is only applied if the channel ends, either after 2.5 seconds or when the ability breaks up.
  • **Health Cost: ** None (Only 100 Blood Points)
  • **Cooldown: ** 60/50/40

#Concept Explanation

Radumir is a AD Caster who excels by balancing Health, Attackdamage and Utility. As the first AD Caster and partial Marksman, he uses Health for skill costs, which means that he needs to be built on Sustain. Radumir’s kit is somewhat new, but his passive is something I’ve never seen in any Concepts before.

  • Innate Passive It reduces the healing effects that enemies would receive, when they damage Radumir. Perfect against enemies who are heavily focused on sustain like Aatrox, Xin Zhao and Vladimir.
  • His Q Sends forth two small zones simultaneously, that deals double damage if both zones hit an enemy. This is a rare situation, as only Champions like Full Stacks Cho’Gath or Full HP Zac, with high hitboxes, are easy targets by the two circles. But also smaller hitboxes can be hit, but they can easier escape.
  • The W is Radumir’s main poke and sustain ability, which provides him more health the lesser health he has, thus increases with low health, but decreases with high health.
  • E allows Radumir to deal damage up to three times in quick succession, provided that the first two casts did hit his target. At the third cast, it increases subsequent damage done by Radumir, which greatly synergizes with all of his other abilities, including his Ultimate.
  • Last, but not least - The Ultimate which deals damage over time as a channel on a single target. That single target receives both damage done by the Ultimate, and the damage in the meantime by Radumir. Either way, even if Radumir doesn’t deal any damage while the channel is active, it deals the Ultimate’s damage to all near by enemies around the target enemy.

Like written above, Radumir is strong against sustain Mages like Ahri, Vladimir, Fiddlesticks, and against sustain Fighters like Xin Zhao, Aatrox, Warwick, as he can poke and refuse the healing effects that the enemies would receive when damaging him. Radumir is weak against Tanks and durable bursters, who doesn’t necessarily focus on sustain, but can provide huge damage.

How to fight against Radumir:

  • Radumir excels in poking, that is true, but his range is short, thus can be exploited.
  • Keep in mind that once Radumir uses his W ability, you can engage and finish him off, because Radumir’s W deals more damage and gives him more health, once he’s low on health.
  • Radumir is an AD Caster, means that his damage output is mainly coming from his abilities. Dodge his abilities or try to find a way to nullify or reduce his damage output through buying Armor or HP.
  • If Radumir casts his Q, he is very likely to put the skillshot so that two circles will hit you for maximum damage. Keep that in mind, as you can easily go left or right to either avoid damage or receive only one of the damage, instead of both.
  • If Radumir casts his Ultimate on you, don’t be fooled. The Ultimate’s damage is based on AP and Radumir is an AD Caster. His Ultimate is only scary in teamfights, and only if your teammates are close to each other.
  • Once Radumir casts his E on you, try to kite him and run away until your stacks of Hypocrisy are gone.

Wow I like this idea ^.^ too bad i suck at making champion ideas

Flintfall10/30/2014, 2:46:09 PM2 votes

Nice! I love his weapon design, and I can easily imagine myself playing him, however if I respectfully out some stuff:

  • The Q should have a damage cap versus monsters, I think 10% missing health warrants a hard cap at something like (max: 200), but if my numbers are off then it shouldn't be needded

  • I think the passive is really harsh to sustain people, effectively mkaing him somewhat of a hard counter. I like how you added in level scaling healing reduction, but even with that I fear his entire position in the meta could be pivoted on that passive, making it a risky design choice.

  • 1.0 AP Scaling on the ultimate might be a bit high imo, while easily counterable it certainly adds to really high damage output considering he can do other actions while doing so. I'd reduce it down to between .8-.9, but again that's just how I'd blaance it.

  • just a small rant, the ult isn't technically a channel, it's a buff similar to rammus' tremors since you can move and cast spells/attack. This is based off of memory, but I'm fairly sure that doesn't fall under channels.

I love the q animated gif, you showing off the ranges, and how a simple flash breaks of the ult. Keep up the good work!

You destroyed this. Very good work. I hope RITO gives you some recognition. Shadowlord and Angelic are my favorite skins.

This is amazing. I want to play him. Great work :)

I like the idea, I also like all of the art besides the first original of Radumir.

This makes me feel like I didn't put much thought into my own character design ^^' Very good, I would love to play this champ <3

Wow, you've really spent a lot of work on this. I would LOVE to see this guy out soon. 10/10. Very nice work.

captain tucan10/30/2014, 5:08:39 PM1 votes

with his q, they could spin towards each other. Still going in the same way, but having the opposite of Draven's effect where they push people out. Intsead they pull people toward the center, and if people are caught in the middle on the way back in for them, they get pulled towards him. Then they are perfectly set up for his passive afterwards. I would reduce the range if that were the case but it would be a neat move.

Please don't take offense to this, but this is what I thought of at first glance to Radumir's name. On a more related note, his abilities sound fun, and his gameplay seems like it would be a welcome addition to the roster.

is like Vladimir

Lady of Hresvelg10/30/2014, 12:40:00 PM1 votes
  1. Vlad didn not kill his Family, he killed 2 boys at his age, if he wouldve killed his family before, he mustve left noxus earlier.
  2. I like the concept pretty much, but i think it relates too much to vladimir, i think, vladimir will get a VU once and then Radumir would be with like nothing when it comes to lore, if they rework vlads lore too.
  3. I like 4 out of five abilities. QWER are all prettty good, but the passive.... IDK, i think that it is too much of a counter to vladimir and some champs who use Lifesteal/spellvamp, but every other champ is not effected by that at all. For example:

Top: Nidalee: No health reg through dmg. Mid: Syndra: No health reg through dmg. JGL: Ok, there are a few candidates, i give you that, but no matter if it is Xin or Lee, the impact the passive does is like, not very big. Supp: Leaona: No health gain whatsoever ADC: The only point you passive does sth. Ok, but only a little and certainly not enough to be useful

The rest of the kit is very well thought of, i like the ultimate exceptionally well.
