Lore

Welcome to Pinnacle. The city at the centre of the multiverse. The place where all roads lead, physical, metaphysical and spiritual.

Gaze upon its skyline. Float along the twisting paths spanning its weightless terraces. Admire its towers deep below and its dungeons high above. Its everlasting gloom of darkest night and brightest daylight. Its vines stretching between its myriad planes of existence, home to ghosts and explorers.

Visit the bazaar of A'kha'lha where the secrets you devoted your life to are sold for pennies. Walk hand in hand with a lost deity or forgotten concept in the pale light of the geist-chandeliers. Gamble with the three-headed pit-born in the Void Between the Walls. Enter the loop of Lun where the winged archons of the moon compete in contests of speed and grace. Plumb the depths of Kraj and its rituals of blood and passion. Set foot on the magnificent Promenade and behold the richness of the multiverse and its races, living, dead, undead or otherwise.

Pinnacle, where no harm shall befall its inhabitants. The city is under my protection.

This is my world. It could have been yours, too.

They called me human once. I don't remember much about those days. Dark, grim, brown days, scavenging like a street rat until the thieves' guild caught me. They decided a knife in the gut was not good enough and banished me here, the place where magic ends and new sorceries bubble up from the raw void. It was meant to be a fate worse than death.

I was nothing, the light in a streetlamp on Cloud Bank. In those dark aeons, Pinnacle was a refuge for outcasts, the final resting place for mages cast into oblivion, the black hole from which no one escapes. But I saw potential. Growth. Transformation. I reached out to kindred souls. We united, reformed, tore down this wretched pit and built Pinnacle upon its ashes, a splendid beacon shining unto the multiverse, beckoning the lost and downtrodden.

But you... you are destroying my city. Your sorcery drains its strength. Your holy light casts a dark shadow over Pinnacle. Your wars grind its proud marble to dust. Pinnacle is your destiny, the end point of all that is. No one leaves. No one wants to leave. But I did. I will put an end to your League of Legends and erase your Institute from all facets of existence. And not one of you insects shall stop me.

Abilities

Passive - Architect of Pinnacle

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/f/fd/Arcane_Thievery.png/48px-Arcane_Thievery.png

Enchanted City Hene'n may drag an item from the shop window onto a friendly building, paying 7.5% of its gold cost to add the item to the building's inventory where it imparts its passive effects on the building. The presence of an item is indicated by flowering vines around its base. The item is lost when the building is destroyed.

Living City Hene'n may right click a friendly turret within 1200 units to summon a vortex of raw magic that removes all crowd control debuffs from nearby allies within an 800 unit radius around the turret and applies them to the turret instead for their remaining duration. Cooldown 120 seconds.

Q - Vortex Orb

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/8/8a/Into_the_Void.png/48px-Into_the_Void.png "I'm not wasting my time shaping this into a fireball for your convenience!"

  • Skillshot
  • Mana cost: 55/60/65/70/75
  • Cooldown: 11 seconds

With a dismissive gesture, Hene'n conjures an orb of twisting magical energy and launches it after a 0.6 second channel. The orb moves at a speed of only 750 units per second, but Hene'n continues to channel after it is launched, causing the orb to track the position of the mouse pointer, turning up to 180 degrees per second. It dissipates harmlessly after 2 seconds.

Reactivating the ability or being interrupted releases the orb from manual control, causing it to continue its path in a straight line until its duration runs out.

On impact with an enemy, the orb explodes for 50/90/130/170/210 (70% AP) magic damage in a 175 unit radius. The primary target is blinded for 0.5 seconds plus 30/40/50/60/70% of the orb's travel time (maximum duration 1.1/1.3/1.5/1.7/1.9 seconds). If the primary target is already affected by another crowd control debuff, the explosion deals true damage and the target is knocked airborne for the same duration instead.

Use: Enables Hene'n to poke in lane and support his marksman by blinding the opposing marksman. In combination with allied crowd control, it becomes a powerful but difficult to time suppression that is more reliable at very close range but more effective at a distance.

W - Imperious Splendor

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/d/d0/Phantasmal_Disenchanter.png/48px-Phantasmal_Disenchanter.png "Pinnacle is the rose that never wilts. The marble that never loses its shine. The twilight that never fades. The blood that never cools or dries."

  • Aura self buff (friendly)
  • Mana cost: 65/70/75/80/85
  • Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11 seconds

Hene'n spreads his arms and levitates while vines spiral around him for 2.5 seconds. During this time, enemies within 700 range facing him are awestruck, taking 30/45/60/75/90 (20% AP) magic damage per second and any crowd control debuffs affecting them wear off 30/35/40/45/50% slower.

Enemies within range but facing away take half damage and are otherwise unaffected.

Use: Dissuades enemies from going all in on Hene'n during large scale fights, enabling him to play his poke game. Also an effective followup to a Vortex Orb to extend its duration.

E - Opalescence

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/0/0b/Chaos_Storm.png/48px-Chaos_Storm.png "I do not discriminate against the magical arts in Pinnacle. Some of my best friends are enchantments."

  • Targetted (hostile)
  • Mana cost: 60/65/70/75/80
  • Cooldown: 16/15/14/13/12 seconds

Hene'n launches a green magical flare that travels in a straight line for 850 units, dealing 40/70/100/130/160 (40% AP) magic damage and placing a curse on the first target hit.

The curse has a duration of 6 seconds and is represented by a dull white star above the target that glows brightly when the target becomes affected by one or more crowd control debuffs. This indicates that Hene'n may reactivate the ability to create a physical manifestation of the crowd control debuffs on the target in the shape of a glowing white bird that emerges from the cursed target and travels toward the mouse pointer. This skillshot has a maximum range of 850 units and hits the first enemy in its path, applying the same crowd control debuffs for their remaining duration (they are not removed from the original target) and dealing 50/90/130/170/210 (60% AP) magic damage.

Reactivating the ability immediately ends the curse, even if the skillshot misses.

Use: In combination with any strong allied crowd control such as Wither or Terrify. It is telegraphed and difficult to land outside of teamfights. In lane, can be used to damage and disable the opposing laner through a minion wave.

R - I Am Everything

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/6/60/Phase_Retreat.png/48px-Phase_Retreat.png "It took more than my own will and determination to build Pinnacle."

  • Targetted (friendly champion only, no cast time)
  • Mana cost: 75
  • Cooldown: 40/35/30 seconds

This ability can only be cast on a friendly champion within 1000 range and only within 1.5 seconds after the target uses a basic ability.

Hene'n beckons, causing a blue spark representing the target's most recently used basic ability to emerge from the target and travel in a straight line toward Hene'n, passing through any obstacles in its path for up to 1500 units. If Hene'n catches the spark, the ability it represents replaces his R ability for 3.5 seconds. If the stolen ability scales with AD, half of his AP is converted into bonus AD for the purpose of this ability only. Its colour palette is changed to white and pale blue.

Cooldown is reduced by 50% if Hene'n fails to catch the spark or opts not to use the mirrored ability before time runs out.

Use: To copy an allied crowd control ability to go with his crowd control amplifying effects, or to deal an unexpected burst of damage.

Just an FYI, Suppression only comes in the form of ultimates that also somehow disable their user.

I know the Q is hard to hit, but that is no excuse to bend that rule. In fact, the Q should probably be easier to hit and it should probably stun instead of suppressing.

Also, he relies so much on his allies, he'd probably be really really weak in lane and I don't see him being that awesome of a team fighter either. The kit is interesting, but it seems weak, especially if you're not fighting near a tower. Wel... I guess he'd be a very niche pick whose only value comes from the synergy with CC heavy team mates like Sejuani Varus Lissandra Sion.

The 2.5 seconds to use the captured ability on his ult seems particularly punishing. I mean you already have to catch the spark :
Maybe the grace period could increase with ranks?

Needlessly complex name is needlessly complex.

And so are the controls for the character... 0.0 He has a bit too much control of his skills, that could cause an issue. Overall tho I like the concept of most of his skills.

Improved some spell text and added role.
