Zev, the Steam Savage

LORE

Zev is a man, a man with a plan. That plan? Well, it involves taking care of a certain Machine Herald and "Defender of Tomorrow?" What does that even mean? I guess it doesn't matter, not to Zev. He's has always been someone who settles scores, even scores of others. When Viktor went rogue with his machines, Zev was ready take a crack at him, only to find that Jayce, the big hammer guy, came in and wrecked the place. Yeesh, kinda messy. Anyways, Zev has some business with those wannabes and he's come from a long ways away to finish the fight. WIth his trusty gun, Flashback, and steam powered sword, Sizzle, he's got nothing to worry about.. he thinks.

.............................................................................................................

Champion Insight

Zev is a steampunk warrior, an AD Carry mix of Ranged and Melee, he auto attacks with his gun Flashback, and strikes out with Sizzle when enemies get close. He uses steam, which can compared to the "energy" system, like that of champions Shen and Kennen, which recharges faster when he is at low HP. I wanted him to be a rival of both Viktor and Jayce, and have worked in some lore to set that up. He sees both of them as inferior and was kinda sad he was too late to the brawl at Viktor's lab.

Q - Fire Flashback!

      * Zev fires his gun, Flashback, in a straight shot, damaging any enemies struck **( 55 / 75 / 95 / 105 / 125 (+0%))** and marking them with a steam burn, damaging them **(10 per second, for 2 seconds)**

Not sure how to feel about this guy. The art is good, but it doesn't really feel like "League of Legends", which makes me wonder... How would Riot's artists / creative team make / interpret a 'steam-gunner'?

Kit-wise, I'm not sold on 'steam' as a resource. I want you to consider that Riot has heavily tied Mana and Mana Regen to the idea of 'water' with items like Chalice, Staff of Flowing Water, Frozen Heart, and especially the new Ocean Dragon. There's also Blitzcrank, the Great Steam Golem, who consumes massive amounts of mana to fuel his abilities. Basically, I think for the purpose of balance and flavor, mana would be better all around, and doesn't detract from his kit, IMO.

Also, his kit doesn't do anything we haven't seen before outside of the ulti, which I admit is interesting (also dangerous!), being mostly 'deal damage' abilities, but I think he could be more exciting. I encourage you to keep thinking on it.
