character ideas for the second gauntlet.

as you all know, 's gauntlet had belonged by an ancient shuriman ruler who had the ability to teleport with the usage of said gauntlet. and as we also know, is that pre-rework, there was a second gauntlet, that was left forgotten in deep lore. i feel that as riot is now focusing more on expanding the lore of league, now would be a perfect time to re-introduce the player-base to the second gauntlet. of course, it would still have the ability to have the user be able to teleport, but i feel that having it be more rugged in its design would give it that feel of being lost to time and forgotten almost entirely , maybe a silver or dull bronze to contrast the gold and polished bronze of ezreal's gauntlet. most importantly would be the weapon that the gauntlet generates. something to match the overall design of the gauntlet itself. the bow, which is the weapon that ez's gauntlet creates, is a weapon that would not see much front line combat. it would remain unsullied, as it would remain from the main conflict and fight from afar. a sword would be the weapon of the second gauntlet. a weapon that is seen on the front line of many battles, and as such would fit with the tougher silver material and rugged appearance of the gauntlet that the weapon is created by.

as for character design, perhaps an Ionian scholar/explorer. maybe a character that rejects all of the religious beliefs of the place that they were born and raised, who wanted to escape the shackles of a set role in society, who wanted more than what their "destiny" dictated. for looks, i would say something along the lines of a black or blue jacket and brown pants, with some form of darker hair, weather it be brown or black is up too the devs. i already described what the gauntlet would look like, but i feel that a more blueish-purple color like ryze's magic for the energy would fit to contrast further with ezreal, who has a bright yellow and light blue magic colors.

for personality i feel a more grounded sense of humor would work really well, almost like how manages to make fun of what he is wearing and doing (wuju and his goggles) in his jokes and taunts, while still being able to live in the moment, which agains contrasts ezreal's personality, which is more happy go lucky and ungrounded from many situations. the character i am proposing is quippy, but is at the same time is very grounded and less egotistical.

for the part that everybody actually cares about: the playstyle and abilities played primarily as a jungler or mid laner. ap fighter that scales with attack speed and ability power. works well with , , and.

passive: speed sword gains attack speed based on ap and ap based on attack speed.

Q:Binding blade throws the arcane sword in a straight line and stops at the first enemy champion or large or better monster hit and roots them. range is affected by level and attack speed. deals ap damage.

W: arcane blade passive: auto attacks deal damage based on attack speed and ability power. active:empowers next 3 auto attacks. thats it. kinda like a shen q. but instant.

E: shift and slash passive: basic attacks reduce cooldowns on this ability by one second blink a short distance in the direction of the mouse cursor. once reactivated, blink to an enemy and deal magic damage on your attack speed while also aplying on hit affects. good for dodging skillshot executes or oneshot abilities (morde q and new pantheon q), or for just closing distance.

R: overclock gaines spell shield and damage reduction based on ap and slows surrounding enemy champions while channeling for 6 seconds before dealing damage to all enemies in the area based upon the amount of damage taken, attack speed, and health lost during the channel. once ability fires off, all other abilities go on cooldown with an extra second added. good for starting fights, deleting squishies and damage dealers. the best counter to this is either run or try to burst through the damage reduc with the rick of it literally blowing up in your face.

overall, i feel that a champion like this would bring something new to the table while still being able to be viable. there are no ap attack speed fighters in the game right now. sure, and are there, but they have been there. i feel that a champ like this would be simple enough for new players to get a grasp on them, fun enough to get them to stay on the game, and good enough to allow macro-level plays. it caters to every type of player, which is something that the game needs more of. please consider this idea and what i have suggested above. have a nice day.
