Vance, The Demacian General
My inspiration for this champion is Azir and Yorick. I've always found abilities like Azir's W or Ivern's R and Yorick's ghouls very fun to use. So I started to think up a champ who fights with mostly their spawns. And that's where this idea comes from.
Vance, being a Demacian general, will be based around commanding and fighting with Demacian soldiers that obviously he spawns from his kit. For his design I don't have much in mind but his weapon could be a longsword.
-
Passive/Bodyguard: Every 3 minutes (time is reduced with champion level) an elite Demacian soldier will spawn next to Vance. The elite soldier has 50% of Vance's health and attack damage. Until level 11. Vance can only spawn one elite soldier. After reaching level 11 he can spawn a max of 2 elite soldiers. This passive can be activated by pressing 1. Targeting someone with the active will cause the soldier(s) to chase and attack the target. You can press 1 twice if you want them to return to you or target yourself with 1 for the same effect. His passive's active has a 4 second cd. If you do not target anyone with your passive's active the elite soldier(s) will continue to follow you regardless. Also, if Vance is attacked by an enemy "champion" and the enemy champion is in a certain range close to Vance, (suggested to be melee range), then the elite soldier(s) will charge the enemy who attacked Vance stunning them for a set time (I'll get into the scaling later). The stun time is increased if two soldiers are alive to stun the attacker. (All soldier both the ones from his passive and the ones from his E scale with attack damage. Also if you move to far away from the elite soldiers they will begin to follow you again, regardeless of what they were doing. (Vance's auto attacks will do a fixed amount of damage scaling with each level as his main source of damage will be his army, however your AD will still build up as you buy damage so that your soldiers damage can be amplified).
-
Q Ability/Demacian Pride: Vance spawns a Demacian flag for 5 seconds that gives bonuses in a certain area. This flag has two effects. In combat: The flag increases armor and magic resistance of ally champions by 3% of Vance's max health. Out of combat: Heals all allies except minions once every second for 4% of Vance's max health. The flag does effect all of Vance's spawned soldiers, and is the only way to heal them.(I'm using this ability as an incentive to have players build him more like a bruiser).
-
W Ability/Barrage: Vance orders a barrage to strike the target area. After a short delay the barrage hits the target area stunning everyone in the area. All soldiers,(from passive or e ability), gain increased movement speed when chasing a stunned enemy. They will only move fast towards them while they are stunned. (Just to clarify, lets say you use your e's active and/or passive's active and target an enemy. If they are stunned and your soldiers are still chasing the target they will get movement speed towards them, likewise if you target them after they are stunned then they will gain movement speed during that time as well.)
-
E Ability/An Army To Command: This ability has an active and a passive. Passive: Gain one stack every time you last hit 4 enemies. (The amount you can stack increases with level). Active: Spawns the same amount of soldiers as you have stacks.(These are weaker then the elite soldiers, I'll get into how much weaker later). After spawning the soldiers you can continue using E to command them to attack someone. You can control these soldiers in a very large area, however the area shouldn't be big enough to go somewhere like from bot to top lane. Maybe a circle that can reach from bot to mid lane. If you press e on the ground, or press E where nothing can be targeted, they will push the lane closest to them. **You can spawn a max of 4 soldiers, (scaling with E ability level). If you have 3/4 soldiers alive, AND your E is off cooldown, AND you have one or more stacks on your E, pressing E will spawn one soldier so you have 4/4 soldiers up again, then you can command the soldiers with your E once again. **
Additional information on the soldiers: Fixed amount of health scaling with E Ability level; Soldiers deal 20% of Vance's attack damage
- R Ability/For Demacia : All soldiers gain a short burst of movement speed and their next attack slows target enemy, stacking 4 times up to a max slow of 32% (COnsiderably short cooldown)
