[Champion Concept] Penelope The Fallen Star
The link is to a Deviant art artist with cool art that looks good with what I pictured this Mage as. Some time ago one of the Rioters posted how they would love to see an earth based mage. That got me thinking and I came up with some interesting ideas.
First the Passive. Eb and Flow Enemy champions lose movement speed as they get closer to Fallen Star (FS). Allies movement speed is increased as they move towards FS. Explanation: This would be a build up from a set range working in both directions for both sides. so it could start at 1% and increase to 5% either increase or decrease.
Q: Heavy handed. FS thrusts her palm out and a force rolls the ground in a line in front of her pushing Enemies back and dealing %AP. Distance pushed is reduced based on Enemy Armor. Explanation: More armor less distance pushed. its a simple skill shot q like most mages in game only to provide a little damage and a peel for late ganks. Provides reset to movement speed debuff for chasing assassins while still letting tanks be a threat. small width single target spell unless enemy champs are in a line.
W: Pillar. Raises a pillar from the ground blocking movement (think obstructing walking path like a minion does) recast FS stomps the ground and the pillar crumbles in an AOE around the center point dealing damage as the pieces fall. Explanation: Pillar goes up and blocks the path some characters take when moving like scion's charge, ashe's arrow, jinx's bomb. Basically if it can hit a wall and stop it will hit this. I also see it as not being very wide maybe the width of a minion or two. The recast gives spread damage so it can be used to take out groups of minions but I don't see it as being a massive damage spell more a little utility. Also I see it doing AD and directly scaling based on a conversion of ap into ad so for each 100 AP does 50 AD. not enough to require buying armor but enough to still hurt your opponent if they go full on MR in lane against you. The recast applies a dot like MF's.
E: Debris Field. FS raises rocks up around her the number of rocks increases per level. the rocks block incoming ranged auto attacks 1v1. Recasting pushing rocks out dealing FS's current auto attack damage to each enemy hit (can crit but can't proc effects) Explanation: The field blocks ranged auto attacks only. can't stop skill shots and can't stop direct attacks. the rocks hover around her kind of like syndra's orbs and push out in all directions. it starts with two-three rocks and increase each level by one or two depending on what isn't overkill by max level. the recast is another AOE. its not as imaginative but if you could control rocks what would you do because I would make a little whirly ball to stop bullets and arrows with rocks and whatever was left I would chuck.
R: Lance. FS pulls a lance out of the ground. once she targets an enemy champion she dashes in and skewers them dealing percent AP and breaking armor allowing for the full proc of her passive to be applied. The Lance is a one shot ability. Explanation: kit wise this allows her to wreck the enemy teams main armor tank while pulling her into the fight and slowing them. This would essentially pull her from the back lines into the front lines but also open the tank up to the ranged adc and any other fighters to help break the enemy teams front line down. This could also be used to chase down a fleeing assassin that didn't burn you down on the initial gank or help slow a fast mover like Kalista or the new Kindred. it could also be used to pick out an enemy jump to them with the R step in front then Q them back into your team. your passive will help you recover a little of the distance and your E and W would keep you from becoming instantly killed by the back line as you dash in. When she pulls the lance I imagine a suit of light armor and a crown around her that shatter on impact.
I don't picture her tanky at all. I picture her as being super squishy but having decent tools to help her stay alive. Also the name doesn't make much sense for the idea of an earth mage but it is what it is and its not like anyone from riot will really pay attention to this :P I hope you guys like some of it and take pieces for your own work :)
