Upon Selection "The Doctor is in." In a very haunting, calm, and menacing voice full of a sort of malice joy. His voice is a medium tone with a bit of a whimsy to it. As if he is in another world. Think like the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.

Attacking "I know where all of your vitals are." "Surgical precision." On crits. "I seem to have hit a nerve." "I think we'll need to operate." "Nurse, come. Let us take care of our patients." "So. Many. PATIENTS!" Malice joy tone when saying this followed by maniacal laughter. "It's time for you checkup."

Moving "There are patients waiting for us." "Patients to see." "Such a busy schedule. So many appointments." "Gonna be late for that appointment." "A doctor is needed. Luckily, I'm here." Maniacal laughing. "Quick, nurse! A patient is escaping!" When an enemy champion flees.

Death His nurse catches him in a tender embrace which he takes wholeheartedly. In one fell motion she jumps into the air with her weapon and him, disappearing.

Recall His nurse goes to his side, his right arm around her in a loving embrace. She then jumps into the air with him, disappearing.

Dance: Him and his nurse begin a slow dance. Almost like the waltz. Loving and intimate.

Quotes and other things "I lost all that I loved, but not for long....science can be improved. It MUST be improved!" Maniacal laughing. "Are you staring at her?" Her being his nurse, he then produces a bunch of scalpels, "She is my nurse. MINE!" He says in a crazed rage. "No, no, no! This cannot be! No! Wait...yes! That's it!....wait, no." Random mutterings of a madman thinking of plans. His nurse looks towards him in a concerned way, but out of love. "When you see your world ripped from you...There is a small chance that you might recover." In a very lucid tone. His nurse looks on in hope, but then he breaks down into maniacal laughter to which she slumps at. "The doctor shall see you now. I hope you've had your daily dose of vitamins." Taunt. He says it in a very malicious tone. "Calling the morgue. There's another one heading their way." Taunt. In a crazed and joyous voice.

There are many other quotes and interactions I could do, but these are but a short few. I didn't want to drag on with all of them.


Background A reputable family. Of high standing and class. Their youngest, a bright and dedicated pupil to the study of medical science. His love, a young redheaded girl from another prominent family. Destined to marry. Arranged by both families. However, tragedy as what happens in some stories, happened to them.

Graduated top of his class he started his own clinic in a small hamlet on Willows Lane. A small place near the Howling Marsh. He was respected and people came from all around to be healed and treated by him. It was on their one year anniversary when everything changed. Coming home he found his place in ruins. His wife, the love of his life, used and brutally slaughtered. Tossed away like nothing. His grief took a hold on him and his mind grew dark. He thought of only one thing. The only thing he knew. Medical Science.

He tidied the place up, and cleaned up his wife. A daze he was in. His tears all dried. His mind broke. He had been called away on business, and when he returned....this. He set aside her body and preserved it within his basement. They were a young couple. Only recently turned 19, the both of them. He told the lies that became truths. His wife, away on family business. People still came and visited, and he treated them as normal. During this time he studied hard. Why was he studying? To do something. His mind worked without knowing.

A year later a conversation was heard, and surgery began. They should not have spoken up. They should not have returned, but one of them had severely injured themselves in a skirmish and he was the closest doctor. The mutterings of "But this is his place? We did that to his wife. Are you sure?" And "He will never know." Fortunately for them he did hear. He had good hearing. They would be healed. How good for them. As the scalpel cut into them, strapped to the chairs he smiled. He felt alive. He played with their bodies and he learned how they worked. When he was done he had information. The one who he went away on business to that fateful day. He had hired them. He had been jealous.

The young man, same age as Cyrus came to his clinic for his monthly checkup. The doctor found out he had a severe case that needed to be surgically seen to. The scalpel dug into the mans chest. He was saved. Cyrus played with this jealous mans body. He learned of its workings.

Another year passed and Willows Lane grew darker. A woman, now by his side, served as a silent nurse with a great scythe used for precision care of patients who trespassed or were too unruly. The scythe, he deduced when he found it and bought it, was the perfect medical instrument for his new nurse. His nurse cared for him, and even loved him. He knew not where she came from. Only that she was very helpful, and beautiful, but no. He was married. She would be back one day. His wife. He knew it. Just away on family business. That's all. The nurse wore bandages over her eyes and had medical scars over her chest. If he knew the truth or not, he made no indication to it. He took to his nurse as she reminded him so much of her and she to him. His patients soon dwindled as the land around his house became darker and dreary.

That's when experiments and screams began. Difficult patients. Thus, the Doctor of Willows Lane became known, and no one went without severe cause.

"It's an astounding thing what you can do with medical science," Cyrus, the Doctor of Willows Lane.


These images are not mine. They were found via google images and all rights go to the artists who made them. I am only using them as reference.

Appearance http://s47.radikal.ru/i115/1401/b3/2647953f758c.jpg This is Cyrus. The difference from this picture and my creation is the facial structure. Cyrus does not have as much of a square jaw as the picture does and his lips are not as pink or as large. The rest of him is pretty spot on to what I imagine Cyrus to look like. http://orig00.deviantart.net/f434/f/2008/198/6/d/nurse_of_doom_by_nawol.jpg This is his nurse, Violet. Who also happens to be his wife, but due to his insanity at losing her, and him not even remembering that he brought her back from death. She doesn't speak, merely makes feminine sounds such as sighs and smiles or laughs. She doesn't speak for fear of furthering his insanity in hearing his wife's voice again. He believes her not dead, and she hopes that one day he will realize that it is her before him and come free of his insanity. She keeps up hope. Her eyes are bandaged for when he was resurrecting her he knew who it was, and the eyes brought him pain and regret. So he bandaged them up, and she keeps them that way so as to not further his madness. She loves him very much, and he loves his nurse as well. This brings conflicting feelings as he knows he is married, and it is wrong, but he cannot help it and believes that his wife, who he thinks is dead and not the nurse, would forgive him.

Hell of a story no? I like it.

Weapons/Method of Attack Cyrus is not the main attacker. Violet is. Violet fights from a distance using her scythe. Much like how Azir controls his soldiers Cyrus controls Violet. She moves on her own when idle, and like Azir's soldiers, are untargetable. She stays within 400 units of him and she has a 200 unit attack range which can put the total attack range to 600 if she is at the outer most edge of this range. She moves at a movement speed of 500.

In short. Violet is his basic attack. He himself does not attack. Violet is the only one who attacks. If an enemy is beyond a wall or obstacle she will jump/dash over/through it to reach them. The way she moves is elegant. As if she was a dancer (and in fact, that is what she was in life as well as a talented artist as well as an assistant to Cyrus). Her movements are fluid and graceful.


Passive Medical License Cyrus is a certified medical doctor. He is able to heal wounds and dish them out. All health regen bonuses Cyrus has is increased by 5%. Healing received or done by Cyrus is increased by 5/10/15/20%.

Each basic attack on an enemy applies a stack which slows target by 15/20/25/30% that decays over 3s and deals 1% of their maximum health as true damage over 3s. Stacks up to 3 times. Each stack renews the duration and adds on to the previous stack for a maximum 45/60/75/90% slow that decays over 3s and 3% maximum health true damage over 3s.


Q Sedation Stat! Skillshot ability that has Cyrus throw a syringe filled with a home brewed sedation serum. Hits the first enemy it comes in contact with. If it is a minion or monster it stuns them for 1/1.5/2/2.5/3s and deals 50/75/100/125/150 (+50% AD) worth of true damage. If it hits a champion they are stunned for 0.25s and have the status "Sedated" placed upon them. Afterwords they have a slow placed upon them that starts at 5/10/15/20/25% and increases every 0.5s by 5% up to a max of 30/40/50/60/70% and are dealt 25/50/75/100/125 (+50% AD) worth of damage upon hit.

"Sedated" lasts for 5s. Basic attacks done against them by Cyrus deal 1% of their maximum health as true damage.

Cooldown: 15/13/11/9/7s Range: 600


W Nurse! Cyrus orders his nurse to an enemy or ally. She moves almost instantly to the target, ignoring her movement speed.

Enemy: Enemies are struck by Violet dealing 40/60/80/100/120 (+80% AD) worth of damage, knocked back 300 units, and stunned upon arrival for 0.5s. If they hit terrain they are stunned for 1s. Sedated enemies are struck for an additional 30/50/70/90/110 (+30% AD) worth of true damage and have the "Sedated" status removed. Cyrus is healed for 10/20/30/40/50% of the amount of true damage. Passive healing bonus not applied.

Ally: Allies targeted are seen to by Violet pulling them and dropping them next to Cyrus and quickly repaired/healed by him. Healing allies for 60/70/80/90/100 (+50% AD) + passive.

Applying this on himself has his nurse come over and help him heal his wounds.

Cooldown after enemy is hit: 14s Cooldown after ally is healed: 16s Range: 600 unit radius around Cyrus. Violet will move to the edge of the 400 unit restriction and grab (ally) or attack (enemy) with her scythe if they are outside of this area.

Basic attacks reduce the cooldowns of this ability by 1s.


E Medical Precision Skillshot ability that has Cyrus throw a scalpel in target 800 unit direction dealing 70/90/110/130/150 (+60% AD). If the scalpel hits an enemy it reduces its cooldown by half. If it kills a target the cooldown is instantly refreshed. Sedated enemies take an additional 30/50/70/90/110 (+30% AD) worth of true damage and have Sedated removed from them. Cyrus is healed for 10/20/30/40/50% of the amount of true damage. Passive healing bonus not applied.

Cooldown: 10s


R Time for Surgery! Cyrus sends Violet to sweep and drag an area towards Cyrus. The range of this sweep is 300 units and is a half/crescent moon skillshot. All enemies hit by this are grabbed and pulled within the 400 unit radius of Cryus. This area becomes dark and acts much like Nocturnes ultimate in look, but within only that area. Cyrus's vision is not worsened. His radius just becomes darker to who is using him. This skillshot can be moved around inside his radius, but is locked to the outer edge of his radius.

Upon dragging the enemies in Violet begins a violent dance in the circle. Using her scythe with precision dealing 25/50/75 (+5%) damage every 0.5s for 5s as she becomes a twister inside this darkness. A max possible total of 250/500/750 (+50% AD). Cyrus and allies within this darkness are healed for 10/15/20% of the damage done every 0.5s.

Cooldown: 110/100/90s


Playstyle Cyrus is a versatile champion able to play in most areas of the league. His sustain helps him hold his lane as well as help from his nurse/wife Violet for range. He himself does not attack. She is his attack.

He plays much like Azir in the way to control and position. She is not targetable, much like Azir's soldiers. The max range of attack is 600. 400 units is the radius in which she can move and attack in with her own attack being 200 units. This allows for Cyrus and her to poke at enemies while keeping him relatively save.

Keeping distance between Cyrus and the enemy is a must. He is extremely squishy and can be taken out very fast if not careful. The use of his Q combined with the effectiveness of his W and E help to sustain and keep him alive as well as dish out some serious damage to unwary opponents.

The true damage of Cyrus can be seen as strong, but without his Q in place it is nonexistent. The setup of being Sedated is needed before being dealt this damage and allows the enemy to avoid this ability and the damage it comes with.

Cyrus is an harasser. To me this means he is their to annoy you. To push you back and get you away from things. While weak up close his poke and abilities help to hamper the enemy team and push lanes. Jungling with Cyrus is much like if you used Azir for Jungling, but with more sustain from attacks as he can heal himself from sedated creatures. The true damage dealt by Cyrus and Violet help to whittle away at the monsters in jungle.

Overall Cyrus plays like Azir with only one person he controls and attacks with. His abilities make him an excellent harasser and support for his team while he heals them and gets them out of harms way, but also dealing damage to the enemy team.

As an AD champion he should focus on attack speed and power, but invest in health regen for sustain.


Friends and Enemies He is a loner. He is also insane. The only companion he has is Violet, and while some of the champions might get to know him he prefers to stay to himself. However, since what happened to his wife was on Noxian soil he holds a great hatred towards them for allowing it to happen.

I really like the idea of this champ but with all of that true damage he would shred through literally anything. Maybe switching that for ap or ad? Definitely one of my favorite champ ideas by far.

Bump and update.

Added three items (all of them being different versions of item 3713 as they are what work best for him).

I forgot to add in jungling items when placing items like the stupe that I am. Anyways, let me know what you think of him. Thank you!

Another interesting concept, ruined by the plague of "True Damage"

"Cyrus is a certified medical doctor. He is able to heal wounds and dish them out. All health regen bonuses Cyrus has is increased by 5%. Healing received or done by Cyrus is increased by 5/10/15/20%." This is pretty fine, but what exactly boosts the heal from 5% to 20%? Is it every couple levels?

"Each basic attack on an enemy applies a stack which slows target by 15/20/25/30% that decays over 3s and deals 1% of their maximum health as true damage over 3s. Stacks up to 3 times. Each stack renews the duration and adds on to the previous stack for a maximum 45/60/75/90% slow that decays over 3s and 3% maximum health true damage over 3s." Jesus Christ, this is so absurdly OP. 3 basic attacks are GUARANTEED to do 3% of their max HP? I don't think you get why True Damage is so rare, because it ignores ALL TYPES of damage reduction. A Level 1 Cyrus would still deal over 3% of an enemies max HP with 3 attacks, was well as slow them for 90%. Even without the true damage, a 90% slow on a passive is ABSURD. Also, you said it stacks up to 3 times, "for a maximum 45/60/75/90%" but that's 4 different numbers, not 3.

"deals 50/75/100/125/150 (+50% AD) worth of true damage" This basically turns his Q into Smite, which is obviously not ok by any means. Why True Damage? Why does it HAVE to be True Damage? "Afterwords they have a slow placed upon them that starts at 5/10/15/20/25% and increases every 0.5s by 5% up to a max of 30/40/50/60/70% and are dealt 25/50/75/100/125 (+50% AD) worth of damage upon hit." This is actually and awesome mechanic and very cool. ""Sedated" lasts for 5s. Basic attacks done against them by Cyrus deal 1% of their maximum health as true damage." Once again with the True Damage, but not just True Damage, True Damage that SCALES with their max HP? That wouldn't be okay even if it were an ultimate. Let me put it this way, let's say you're attacking someone at 10% of their HP. It would take you less than 10 basic attacks to kill them, PLUS you're getting initial damage and a slow out of it. This ability would be MUCH better without the True Damage part.

"Sedated enemies are struck for an additional 30/50/70/90/110 (+30% AD) worth of true damage" Never, ever, EVER make any form of True Damage scale with ANYTHING. Let's say you built Cyrus to have 400 AD, that's 230 TRUE damage, which is about 25% of an ADC or mid laner's HP, for 1 hit.

"Sedated enemies take an additional 30/50/70/90/110 (+30% AD) worth of true damage and have Sedated removed from them" And even MORE scaling True Damage, this is completely absurd

Basically, let's say you build Cyrus to have 2.5 Attack Speed and 200 AD, then met a 3000 HP, 10 Armor Mundo.

Second 1 Cyrus starts by hitting Mundo with a basic attack then a Q, dealing 250 damage that would be reduced by the armor into 125, but would also give Mundo a slow. Then Cyrus hits another basic attack followed by a W dealing 140 damage, plus 170. That's 100 for basic attack + 125 from Q + 100 for basic attack + 140 for W + 170 true damage from W +30 true damage from Sedated basic attack + 60 true damage from passive for 755 damage in LESS THAN A SECOND. Second 2 Cyrus hits another basic attack dealing 100 damage + 30 true damage from sedated + 30 true damage from passive, for 160 damage. He then hits his E and deals 135 damage + 170 true damage, then hits 2 more 160 damage basic attacks. That's 785 damage in a single second.

In only 2 seconds, Cyrus has dealt 1540 damage, more than 50% of Mundo's HP, even though Mundo had built very tanky, without even using his ultimate. The main problem with Cyrus is there IS NOT COUNTER BUILD. you can't build armor to counter him, cause everything he does, even his basic attacks, deal true damage. You can't build HP, because his passive deals true damage based on Max HP, and Sedated worsens that.

TL;DR just stop with the damn True Damage.

EDITS AND NEWS It has come to my attention that people are a bit worried about the True Damage being too strong on my champion.

The Q is a skillshot and NOT guaranteed to hit and cause Sedated effect and enemies can walk away from Cyrus till it wears off, and the Sedated effect is gone after 5s, OR if W or E hit the Sedated target and thus ending the Sedated status instantly.

So, while these are my thoughts I would like to point out that I am looking into an alternative method of damage. True Damage has always been controversial in League. One of the things I am thinking of doing is only applying the True Damage over time only after max stacks on the passive.

I thank you all for your feedback!
