[Champion Concept] Averis, The Guardian of Demacia
Averis is a Guardian, capable of gap closing to save an ally from danger or initiating a fight with an ally.
tl:dr: Primary: Support Secondary: Tank
Averis, The Guardian of Demacia (Unless I come up with a better title... ) Averis is a melee support/tank. As a resourceless (manaless) champion, he can constantly guard his ally. (The first manaless support... This is odd. I may have to not make him manaless...)
Passive: Reprieve Upon reaching 0 HP, Averis maintains 1 HP for the next 1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds (At levels 1/6/11/16). It's an Uncontrollable Tryndamere ult. So Averis "lives" long enough to save an Ally he is sworn to protect.
Q: Rush to Aid Upon activating, Averis breaks a percentage of all current slows and gains a burst of 30% Movement Speed, raising his shield, reducing incoming damage (this includes melee) from in front of him by 35%. His next auto-attack is enhanced to knock back an enemy. This isn't like Braum's shield where he faces it one direction and it stays in that direction. It's whichever direction Averis is running/facing, that is where he is blocking. (It's like Garen's Q and W but enhanced to knockback.)
W: Intervene Averis dashes in a direction. If he hits an ally, he lands between them and the nearest attacking enemy and automatically blocks(or takes) an auto-attack. If he he hits an enemy, he stuns them for (1.5 seconds?) and lands furthest from the nearby attacking ally. It's a skill shot dash, so he can dash through walls.
E: Helping Hand Averis asks all Allies if they need his help. If one accepts it, Averis carries that Ally for 4 seconds. That Ally he carries has increased resistances, (may be able to autoattack but unable to move) but can cast abilities. If that Ally left-clicks on Averis, they release themselves from Averis's grasp. THIS IS THE MAIN MECHANIC I wanted to introduce. This can be used as great escapes or great initiations because you carried an ally into or out of battle. Like a Hero. (The interface should act like a moving Thresh Lantern.)
R: Flight of Demacia Averis winds up his ult for 1 second, then he trows his shield in a direction. If it hits an enemy, he knocks them back. If that champion is knocked back to any terrain, they are stunned for 2 seconds. If Averis was carrying an Ally at the time, that ally travels with his shield until it lands, then they are released from being "carried." A skillshot ult that can be used as an initiation move OR can be used to save an ally by throwing them out of a losing teamfight.
Overall: Being Manaless, Im hoping he can pull off the constant guardianship of an ally with no restraints (other than cooldown). I will tweak these to reasonable numbers ONCE I have more implemented and when I receive comments. Another thing, I am sorry it sounded like Braum, I just REALLY wanted to implement the "Helping Hands" mechanic, and it seemed to fit a guardian best.
