[Champion Concept] Danson, The Broken Child
As a League player for many years I always wanted a champion to come out that had build and role versatility without having to sway from the meta and getting flamed all game. I enjoy playing out of the meta builds like AP GP and Jungle Quinn. However, to have a champion that can be a marksman, jungler, bruiser, or a mage would be amazing. It would also throw off the opposing team in draft pick a little bit. With all this in mind, I decided to make this post about a versatile champion, Danson.
Lore
Danson was from a middle-class family living in Demacia. His parents sowed their land for food. The 9-year old child doing all he could to help his loving parents. Until, one day, his parents had left to gather the fruits of their labor and they were both slaughtered by a Noxian looking to prove himself to Noxus; Talon. Danson had heard the screams from inside the house and ran out to see what had happened. His parents blood ran down the troughs, staining the harvest and plunging the young boy into a mentality obsessed with vengeance. Danson abandoned the house and the farmland and lived in the streets of Demacia, blending with the shadows, feeding off scraps and designing weapons of vengeance from any object he could find. He watched from afar as Lux and Garen would train and learned quickly the arts of magic and skill with a sword. If it was the last thing he'd do before he died, he would find his parents killer and get revenge on the man that took everything from him.
- Danson would naturally have lower stats than most characters as each trinkets gives stats depending what role he is going into.
- Instead of mana, Danson uses a resource called Darkness. He can only gain this resource when in the Fog of War. (Which helps knowing where wards are if jungling)
