Champion idea that I'd love to get your opinion on.
Hi everyone! Me being a league of legends player for a few years now have always wanted to suggest an idea for a champion and although I know there is no for sure way to know if riot will see/take it into consideration I'd still like to hear what you guys think about it and I apologize because when it comes to lore I tend to be really long so if you aren't interested in lore you can skip ahead to his abilities and appearance.. So the champion I've come up with is named Laiden the Last Griffin Warrior. In terms of lore he is the last of the griffin warriors. There were only ever two griffins in the world and they kept their presence extremely secretive. Instead of creating a tribe or a cult to follow them they chose two young humans at the dawn of Runterra bestowing upon them the Griffins Blades and Armor which they crafted through magic. The armor didn't even look like armor and the swords only above average in design. Two swords to the human chosen by the male griffin and one to the one chosen by the female griffin. Now the two humans they chose would not be able to be killed only extremely wounded and essentially stayed youthful for eternity if they chose, but the griffins realized something and that is that when humans watch others die for centuries they eventually long for death and so after approximately 500 years they would ask the humans if they wished to be released from this life to age once again and die. If the humans chose to die at that instant without the magic being removed from their body the only thing that could kill them was one of the griffin blades that was bestowed upon the other warrior. After fighting in many wars proving themselves a mysterious force to be reckoned with until they crossed blades with the Darkin. Although today we know that only five exist this is due to the generations of griffin warriors hunting them. And so a young man named Killian Hems one day was approached by the mysterious beasts who offered a life of purpose. He accepted. Over the centuries he and his partner a young woman named Natisara grew close and although only encountering one Darkin they were formidable especially when fighting together. But when hunting the Darkin known as Aatrox they became separated Aatrox being more sly then anyone knew Aatrox new how to stir up people through words. He deceived Natisara and turned her on the griffins with hate in her heart. No one knew that the reason the Griffin blades could kill the warriors was because they could kill the griffins. By the time Killian made it back to the griffins ancient cave Natisara had killed the female (for the same magical rules do not apply to which of the blades could kill the griffins) and mortally wounded the male. So Killian had to fight the woman he loved to protect his friend. He slew Natisara that night. As the male was dying he called Killian over and implored him not to give up the mantle and asked him if he could destroy the females blade in order to keep him alive for eternity, and so he did. So as his life force ebbed away Killian became Laiden with the burden of and unending life and the memories of what he had to do. So he continues his hunt for the one who caused this to happen and so joined the league of legends for a chance to get revenge against Aatrox. No one knows how long Laiden has been alive but he has been hunting for millennia.
Alright if you survived through all that I'll go into the characters abilities. I intended this character to be a Fighter first and tank second. His passive: Painful memories. Every time an ally champion is killed within 800(flash moves you 400 in whatever direction you want. I can't remember what unit of measurement riot uses) of Laiden his attack speed increases by 15% stackable up to 3 times. His Q: Return to sender. Laiden throws one of his swords 800 until it sticks into a wall or the ground causing damage to enemy units on the way and slowing Laiden's attack speed by 5%. The sword can stay there indefinitely but as soon as Laiden moves 70% of the map away from the sword or toggles it with Q it will return to him causing damage to units on the way and increasing critical strike chance up to 4 times. 10% for every champion it passes through and 5% for every minion. His sword can not pass through walls and will return on the quickest path through the jungle or lain giving vision through the fog of war on the way. His W: Unrelenting Will. Laiden gains 10% life steal for 5 seconds while unrelenting will lasts. His E. Griffins Protection. The griffins souls protect Laiden from 20% incoming damage for 8 seconds. His R. Blades true Form. For 10 seconds Laiden's swords become one blade dealing an extra 15% damage but slowing his attack speed by 5%.
He appears a young man about 19 years of age with fair skin, brown hair, and blue eyes. The griffin armor consists of a brown leather sleeveless overcoat with chain mail inside it between the two layers of leather with a hood and the coats length comes to about your calf. Secondly it consists of a dark forest green wool short sleeve shirt with fingerless leather gauntlets, brown leather pants and boots.
Anyway guys if you made it here I again apologize for how long this post is but if you read through all of it I hope you enjoyed it and think this is a good idea for a champion. I'd love your feedback either positive or negative. Thanks.
