[Concept Introduction] Mikan, the Data Huntress

Chembaron Yamada·7/23/2017, 8:59:10 PM·3 votes·556 views

Hello, this is going to be the first part of a series (if people like the character) of threads for champion development. I hope to get alot of feedback for this new champion I came up with, it is actually a rework of a former concept I wasn't really satisfied with. ^^ Her champion trope is something I really miss in this game and I would love if something similar would come out in the future.

Name: Mikan Faction: Piltover Role: Support Gender: female Age: 21

Lore:

Mikan is a young woman from Piltover and she always exceeded at analysing data and crafting devices. Her talent enabled her to collect some money helping the police of Piltover finding the culprits of some crimes.

What did she chose to do with that money? Of course, she tried to enhance her ability to collect and analyse data. Information is power and there is no one in Piltover knowing that better than Mikan.

Some time ago, she was crafting a device to operate the many cameras she placed around the city of Piltover and Zaun, as well as saving their data and processing it. She even programmed an own AI for it, calling it Argo. But without her noticing, something went wrong. While the AI accepted the name Argo given by her and did fulfill its duty, it seemed that it was more than what she created. The Brackern in the hextech crystal awakened and is using the voice and features given by Mikan now to help her.

I would like to provide a short story to this character soon, if she doesn't get too much hate here. ^^

Gameplay:

Mikan is a support character, best described as a mixture of catcher and enchanter. She exceeds at turning around flanks and ganks, giving her ADC some safety in lane, while her actual fighting power in the lane is limited. She shines in the mid to lategame, where she is able to spot enemies out of position and enable her ADC to take them out.

Kit: Passive: Argo Mikan starts the game with an unique item, called Argo. This item is providing (at the beginning almost non existent) stats, namely AP, CDR and healing/shielding power.

But different from Viktors hextech core, you don't purchase the higher levels of the item in the store. Argo will develope with every unique champion takedown Mikan was involved in. You can imagine an interace like Rengar, just that she doesn't have to kill the champion herself, but has to assist in it.

If Argo reaches lvl 3 (so: after 3 unique champions killed with Mikan around), it gains an active effect. Mikan can use Argo on any ward (allied and enemy ones) to transform it into a unique ward unit, sharing the name Argo. This ward unit can be moved (like Tibbers: control rightclick) and has 4 health points. If you activate Argo again, it will trigger the effect of Mikans W.

Q: Expose Weakness Skillshot. Mikan is analysing an area, dealing magic damage. If she hits an enemy champion, he/she gets marked. Allied champions attacking the marked enemy will deal additional on-hit-damage. This can't accure more than once per second for each allied champion.

W: Prepared Environment Mikan is placing a explosive camera on a wall, circular area of effect.. It grants vision and basically works like a trap. If an enemy champion walks into the zone, it will explode after a short delay, dealing magic damage and stunning the enemy. All enemies hit are "detected".

E: Reconstruction Mikan creates a tether between her and an allied champion. For 3 seconds, Mikan is healing the ally per second and shielding herself for the duration. Any form of hard CC is canceling this ability.

R: Swift Operation Mikan and an allied champion gain camouflage and movementspeed towards all detected enemies. Enemies revealed by a vision granting skill of her ally are marked as detected as well (For example: Corki Q, Ashe E, Kalista W). If a detected enemy champion dies within x seconds after the use, half the CD of Mikans R is refunded.

Recommended items: item 2301 Vision is important, especially as a support. And her scaling will love AP. item 3504 Great synergy, her heal is giving the buff and giving AS for the on hit damage of her Q. item 3092 Great alternative to make enemies "detected" on demand. item 3050 Would be great if it could be coded that the effect triggers after the camouflage ending.

Last words: I fell really in love with the concept of an female Analyst from Piltover. I hope this thread gets some attention, it would be really sad if this fantasy never becomes reality in the universe of League of Legends.

I would love to play this champion, the idea that you could make not only make yourself invisible, but an ally as well is really cool. As for the passive and W, the idea is cool but I don't understand the use of the W. love the concept!

I like the idea.

Passive: Argo So the transformation of allied or enemy wards to a movable unit. Be like Azir's tower? My only issue is it working on allied wards, seems a bit unecassary. If it works on enemy wards only, I think it's more rewarding, like hey I dectect an enemy ward I'll transform it. It motivates the purchase of item 3364 item 2055 item 3341.

Q: Expose Weakness The Q is said to be a skill shot and analyze area. Is it the Mikan analzying the area or a device\her device? So it's that throwing something in an area and it spirals(analzye) and then explode dealing magic damage?

And the mark, is it that once an (one allied champion) hit the mark is removed?

or the mark remains, but the bonus damage is only applied once every second per unique allied champion? if so how long does the mark last? Say for example an adc like xayah can ditch out 6 AA in one second, I understand that only her firs hit will do bonus dmg. Now, say there's a cass on team and she hits the same enemy champion, is the bonus damage applied within that second?

The Q needs to state how long the mark last and the bonus damage that is dealt. (It can also be armor and resist reduction, just a suggestion) but I like original Q. and if it applies on heal effect that will sure work well with an adc. Or it can be more diverse. Like range deal bonus dmg\heal and melee deal bonus dmg\heal. Either heal for range and dmg for melee or vice versa.

W: Prepared Environment So it's like a ward well more like jhin's E but with broader area of effect and vision? Does it stack? and is it a fixed stack or increase on level? Anyway, it's for support, having personal wards. Oh, is it limited to just walls or brush is included? I like the idea of exclusive to wall has it provides vision in brush as well and many champs avoid walking in the brush or just scan brush. It change the way they view their environment, like not only be aware of the brush but walls too.

E: Reconstruction Nothing much say or ask. I assume there be ranged incase that the allied champion has more mobility. I like the fact it provides self-protection.

R: Swift Operation Mikan and an allied champion gain camouflage and movementspeed towards all detected enemies. Enemies revealed by a vision granting skill of her ally are marked as detected as well (For example: Corki Q, Ashe E, Kalista W). If a detected enemy champion dies within x seconds after the use, half the CD of Mikans R is refunded.

The one I like the most. But instead of detected I think the word should be visible enemies?

You said vision granted skill of her ally. Wards are not skills right? Not sure if that's the way you meant to word it. But with this ult, there must be an allied that has such an ability or the ult won't work. Mikan had a detection ability but if that' avoided or she's not close enough for the ult.

So instead, It could be that her ult be like.

A selected area is scan\analzye and if there's enemy champions in that area they are mark as detected. Mikan and allied champion gain camouflage and movementspeed toward detected enemies.If a detected enemy champion dies within x seconds after the use, half the CD of Mikans R is refunded.

Not saying your original idea can work at all. it's that her ult will be limited to particular champs. In a way it's unique but not something you may want for an ult.

Yasuo's ult works off his Q or any champ that can knock up. In this case it will work off her ability "Prepared environment" but that's set up ability. That's to say, if you execute her W in a fight the enemy knows you are going to ult and it takes away the camouflage effect(surprise effect). Her "W" assumed will have a particular amount she can have active. it does provide for strategic game play if she's the only person on team with detect abilities.

Just some fine tunes and stats and I'll say it's a go. Even now, seems very promising and interesting.

P.S. item 3092 , I think that might end as a core especially with the way her current ult works.

Questions: Why the name Mikan? Will argo be a floating device? (like orianna and her ball) I can see her and orianna having some relations. Not saying it's bad a thing at all.

Not a suggestion for this champion but a possible future champion concept would be an evil Argo, possibly built himself a body with Mikan's technology.
