[Champion Concept] Zamak the Liberator

ClumsyFerret·2/10/2015, 5:08:37 AM·3 votes·1,624 views

Lore: Zamac was Born and raised in zuan until he was kidnapped and used as a test subject. During this testing his Right Arm was cut off and replaced with a special magically infused metal alloy that is able to change shapes. with his new found abilities he broke out of his cage and ran to Piltover where Runeterras greatest minds sheltered him. Angry at being used as a test subject he trained for years around the world in many different martial arts. he quickly learned to use a Shield with his A.R.M. and traveled to his new Home in Piltover. He soon discovered the scientist who kidnapped him as a child sent his henchmen to find out more about him. they had killed the Scientists that had once helped him and burnt the lab to the ground. Devastated that something like this could happen he declared from that day forward he would protect the innocent and stop anything like this from happening again. From that day forward he dawned himself... Zamac the Liberated.

Abilities:

Passive: Adaptive Reconstruction Mechanism: Each basic attack gives Zamak a Mach Level. Enemy Champions hit by Zamac's basic attacks will trigger his Mach levels ability. after X seconds, his Mach level will revert to 0.

Mach 0: Basic Attack - Defaults to this when attacking Minions, but keeps Mach Level. Mach 1: Sword - Your next basic attack slows enemy champion by X% for 2 seconds. Mach 2: Long Sword - Your next basic attack causes AoE Damage to nearby enemies. Mach 3: Spear - Your next basic attack against target enemy champion heals x% of your max health. Mach 4: Crossbow - Your next basic attack against target enemy becomes a ranged attack. Mach 5: Hammer - Your next basic attack against target enemy champion stuns them for x seconds. Zumak cannot stun the same champion for x seconds. After triggering Mach 5, it will revert back to Mach 0.

Q: Shield of Liberation - Zamak throws his shield applying his Current Mach Effect to the first enemy it hits. If it hits with a Mach 4 it will bounce between enemies. Using the Shield of Liberation sets your Mach level back to 0 after its effect. (this one was drastically changed to better suit his role as a Top lane Fighter) Distance would be a bit shorter then Caitlyns Piltover peacemaker

W: Victory Slide - Zamak slides towards the cursor in a straight line. His next basic attack can trigger his Mach on target minion, if he triggers Mach on target enemy, then it will double the effect of the Mach. If his Mach level is 5, it will stun for twice as long. Distance would be about the same as Graves Quickdraw

E: Pillar of Freedom - Zamak creates a small pillar (little bit smaller then Trundles Pillar of Ice) that gives Allies Health regen, Magic Res, Armor, and movement speed based on Zamaks Mach Level. If a Pillar of Freedom is struck by his Shield of Liberation, it will explode and stun nearby enemies. a Pillar created at Mach 5 will block projectile spells cast by enemies. Range would be about as far as trundles Pillar of Ice

R: Final Stand - Zamak gets increased Health regeneration and attack damage. His current Mach Level will be locked in place for the duration of the skill and apply its effects on minions as well.

I (TheGreatNinjaMan) envisioned Zamac as a Top Lane fighter with jungling capabilities.

This has some cool elements to it. On first read, I didn't entirely understand how it all flowed together, but the passive is a pretty interesting idea, and I like how it works in with his R.

Also, his Q is a really simple, really awesome idea. +1 for that.

My main concern is to ensure this guy has an identity. Although I like the passive, it creates an identity crisis. Is this guy a tanky fighter? A crit focused marksman? A stunbot? He's kind of all of these things with the passive.

I'd love to re-read this when it has a bit more focus - for example, if he's a marksman, maybe make his passive rotate thru 3 bonus abilities (crit, slow, AoE cleave, for example), or if he's a tank, focus the passives on that (stun, heal, armour-shred, for example).

Either way, I had fun reading this.

i found a few things i misspelled or were misinterpreted when i shared this idea. so heres a few changes.

Lore: Zamac was Born and raised in zuan until he was kidnapped and used as a test subject.

I love the the mecanic you created there ^^but i have few question for you

1: would it be possible to have a small description of the champion ( what he look like). no need to be a picture but a few line to know what he look like =3

2: Does his mach trigger at each basic attack? or it only change and the only way to trigger it is with Victory Slide =3?

3: i dont completly understand the Pillar of Freedom mechanic, if possible could you describe it a bit more =3?

4: i would like to know the range of each attack (cast range, radius ect) for referance, most melee champion attack range is between 120 and 150 and Caitlyn attack range is 650.

If you have some time, i would like if you could review my champion concept as well ^^
