Physical Description Minera is a 5'9 tall android that resembles a bronze shoulder length haired, blue eyed woman with brass colored skin, covered by bronze colored armor with blue highlights, created using Heimerdinger's genius and the android's concept, all that surrounds an orb of electric blue that can be seen shining from behind her armor, the glow being seen under the skin between two profound and well crafted pair of brass colored hills. ;^)

On her wrists are two glowing bucklers that she affectionately calls Ben and Finny, who seem to be sentient, but they aren't, as the blue light in the middle of the small 8 inch wide and 2 inch thick bucklers seem to blink as if they were eyes, and the glow seems to track the closest targets, occasionally making the odd 'bloop' sound every time someone gets too close to Minera.

Lore "Let me get this straight. I am NOT just a robot. I'm Minera, highly intelligent, highly functional, and highly awesome. Did I mention that I was from an alternate dimension? Well, I just did. So...there!"

The two officers eyed warily at the brass automaton. Her blue eyes seeming to pierce right into their very souls, but she can't do that can she? The robot has been found infiltrating the lab of Piltover's very own Jayce. He claims that he just found her there, and nobody has seen her enter either. From their interrogation, they've discovered that this robot acted too human, it clearly had emotions, her eyes seemed to have that spark of life in them, unlike the strange hollow stare of other automatons. She was sentient as well, being fully aware that she was in trouble, her face did not show, but her golden perspiration was sliding off her shoulders and clattering on the ground like coins.

"You still didn't tell us how you managed to infiltrate Mr. Jayce's office."

"Pretty boy genius? Well. Yeah, he's kinda hot..."

"Stick with the subject, ma'am."

"Oh oh, right. I err...just popped in there after I stepped into my uncle's machine. He always has oily fingers, and they were slippery already. He accidentally pulled a lever, and then...poof! I found myself in an office, with a screaming pink colored bot, by the way. Why are all of you guys pink skinned? Well, there was a few that were brown, but anyways, what kind of metal are you?"

"Metal? We're not metal miss. We're human."

"What's a human?"

One of the cops slammed his palms onto the table, making the brass automaton jump. Fear, she felt fear too, this thing was way too human to be just a robot, however her naivety was testing one of the officers. They were in here for 2 hours already, the robot constantly becoming disratced with almost every word him or his partner said. He was about to shout at the automaton, but he let it drop. No use scaring the suspect.

"File a report for the sheriff, she'll wanna hear this." The officer said as he rubbed his forehead, the situation was deeply confusing him, a sentient, human like robot, from another dimension. The story was so far fetched it makes his head hurt. "Send it to Heimerdinger while you're at it. He'll wanna take a look at his."

"Who's Heimerdingdong?" The woman asked as she found herself being cuffed and led out of the room. "Wait! Where are you taking me? Who's Heimerdingus?"

"Just shut up and keep quiet will you?"

Rivals ViktorVelkoz Vi Passive: Golden Drops

Minera 's 'sweat' is considered to be valuable by some, the shopkeepers so happen to be one of them. She will drop 3/21/30 gold every 20 seconds. Allies or Minera can pick up the small piles of gold and add that amount to their current gold. Enemy champions can step on the gold to deny it from being picked up. Every time an enemy unit dies around Minera, she gains 2 gold.

Q Ben and Finny o
( )Targeting recticle looks like this

Minera tosses the discuses on her hands foward dealing 30/50/70/80/90 (20% of current AP) magic damage , making them fly in an arch opposite to one another and at the end of their range, enemies hit during this will be slowed for 10% for 2 seconds, the bucklers will smash into each other and when the bucklers smash into each other while the enemy is between then they will stun and reveal the enemy hit by both bucklers for 1.5 seconds and deal 60/90/120/140/180 (30% of current AP) magic damage.

W Brass Shell

Minera sacrifices 5% of her current health to give an ally a shield 4%/5%/6%/7%/8% of her maximum health that lasts for 5 seconds. This increases her movement speed by 20/25/30/35/40 for over 3 seconds but decreases her armor and magic resist by 5%.

E Concussion Blast

Minera empowers her autoattacks for 3 seconds, giving her 550 range in her autoattacks, she fires 5 gold beams from her hands causing her to deal 40/45/50/55/60 (40% of current AP) magic damage as well as 2% of enemy's current health, and after the fifth hit it will silence the target. The empower behaves like a basic attack and allows basic attack procs, but only allows Minera to silence one enemy.

R Shock and Overawe

Minera explodes with light, stunning enemies for 2 seconds then blinding them for 1 second if they are too close, dealing 160/280/300 (70% of current AP) magic damage. Enemies not inside stun range will be blinded for 3 seconds and recieve 100/180/280 (20% of current AP) magic damage.

When using Q "Meet Ben and Finny!" "Fly boys!" "Flank them!"

When using W "It's dangerous to go alone, take this!" "Don't lose that!" "Never go in without protection." "Hey, I feel lighter."

I love this concept.

For Jinx ... "What's the difference between Piltover Bank and you? They're both flat now."

This is a great champion, I highly see Minera to be a Support or Mid-Lane champion, I really hope it's implemented for a champion-to-be.

KeVRo5/22/2015, 2:51:24 PM2 votes

Stunning them for 3 seconds is a bit much, i would say 1.5-2.0 tops.

There's more feedback in Minera than Jyokull!(Who is here http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/Bmw24rzi-champion-concept-jyokull-the-frost-bitten Shameless advertisment as usual)

I hear you! I'll edit. Also. I just realized the 7.5 second stun. I'll tweak the AP Ratios, but I'm keeping that passive, I'll just...you know, make 7 eat 9 again or something. Also, yes. The stun lock is intentional. I mean, look at the current meta. We have all those flips and dips and shit. Someone's gonna have to think of a way to shut it down or something...

Nautilus Leona Trundle

Oh...yeah....

Anyways. I'll do a few changes, maybe remove the silence replace it with a slow? Hmm or not. Hehehe. The ult's definately going to be nerfed when I pulled out my calcutor, besides that I think she's pretty alright for now, after a few passive nerfs, better wording, maybe breaking her legs and then reattaching them and nerfing the kit enough so that she's not a god amongst the lambs, because that title goes to someone else.

I liked this concept, sounds interesting and fun to play, you did a great job. I would definitively but this champ :)

Gonna be honest, don't be offended, but visual description on this concept reminds me too much of Orianna. Orianna

Fromt he very beginning of it I could not get out of my head the image of Orianna, you may need to rephrase/rethink it, tbh.

But the skillset, lore and quotes part are thoroughly worked through, there's nothing bad I can say about it :)

Spectral Torch5/22/2015, 11:52:07 AM1 votes

Pretty much a semi work in progress. Might change the lore in a while. Minera is a tough one for me to decide her origin. After all, how can you write lore about a sentient robot female without looking like a total rip off?

Needs more upvotes!

I think this champion would work very well in a support position, the gold gain to get the ADC ahead as well as her good CC and approach options with her e would make for a very fine addition to summoners rift. Have her work with an ADC like Jinx or Ashe so that they can use they're crowd control abilities as well means that you could pull off some really cool combos.

The passive is just overwhelmingly overpowered. This amounts to 20.5 gold per ten minutes at the later stage of the game. Not just that but she gains 2 gold just for being near a unit(basically a built in coin passive).

The passive itself has an average gp10 of 11.75. That means that every minute of the game, someone gains 70 bonus gold. If She is near every minion wave in a lane for 30 minutes, she gains a bonus of 2*57(the number of waves that spawn in that time)*6(melee and ranged minions)+15(number of waves containing siege minions) gold times two because the passive works off both teams. That's a total of about 2268 gold from just standing next to minions. That's a total net gold advantage of 4368 gold. Let me put that into perspective. If an enemy decided to feed me all game, he would be be worth 300 gold the first time, then the second time he died he would be worth 275 etc until he would be worth about 50 gold. In order for someone who is feeding me to give my team the exact same amount of gold(ignoring assist gold) as Minera's passive, he would have to feed die to me 67 times consecutively in a row! That's more than 2 deaths per minute. It's just a ridiculously overpowered passive. Sure, assuming enemies don't step on it. I'm sure the enemy ADC will want to get close and personal and step on your little pile of gold as you and your adc murder him. Even with the counterplay mechanic, it's still excessively OP.

Q is cool. not much else to say. If an enemy is hit by both discs, does he take the base ability damage as well or only the collide damage?

The ally shield casting on W sounds great and I like the ability, but I dont think that fearing an enemy for 3 seconds on a regular ability is a good idea. I know Morgana snares people for 3 seconds, but that's her thing and it's a skillshot. This is worse than old Ryze's rune prison. Click and BAM you are now CC'd. I assume the supposed downside is that the fear grants movement speed, but its not a lot/enough to make the ability seem fair. It quite literally has no counterplay. Also, how does fear factor into her kit? I thought she was a quirky android, not a fear inducing robot. The fear just doesnt kinda fit, plus she already has cc in her Q, so this would give her a stunlock duration of 4.5 seconds. I do however like the_ idea_ of a fear granting increased movement speed. That's a cool idea, just maybe not for Minera.

E is intersting. So it's not the NUMBER of attacks, its the duration? Huh. So that basically means that she is rewarded for building attack speed, which I guess is cool. We can always use someone else who likes item 3124 or item 3115. The silence seems weirdly out of place. Why does she silence by attacking? I mean, her kit already has a built in stun with her Q (Which I assume sort of is targetable like a Diana Q, right?) and her ultimate is a huge block of cc, and on top of that it's HP shred. So basically shes more of a bruiser than anything else. A bruiser that is encouraged to go bot. That's a nightmare for any enemy ADC. If I were to tweak it, I would simply make the AP ratios better(but those are stats and they are meaningless) maybe make it last longer and remove the silence. It would make her more of an AP marksman/bruiser, but that's just a really cool idea in and of itself. Fits her personality a bit more imo, but then again it's not my champion, so who am I to argue about personality.

The ultimate is a bit much dont you think? In her current state she has a stun lock potential of 7.5 seconds. Thats like two Ashe ults from across the map that hit perfectly(currently Ashe has the longest possible stun in the game, at 3.5 seconds) If the enemy(or their team) isnt dead by then then your team is probably trolling or something. The blind just adds insult to injury? How on earth is anyone supposed to kill her if you can get locked down for so long, and once the stuns end you get BLINDED and then silenced. Her kit has every single way of disabling an enemy. This does not sound healthy for the game at all. Plus her ultimate is basically just a localizedLeona ult BUT with a more powerful AOE Teemo blind on top. Ridiculously OP.

The idea is good, the execution needs work.
