Hello All,

I'd like to say thank you for taking your time to view this post. This is a concept i've been working on > thinking on > working on > thinking on ok ok you get it. I've got to say there is a alot more to brainstorming a new champion that meets the eye, but without further or do here she is..

[Side Note]: I didn't add any ratio's to her skills because honestly i'm not really knowledgeable enough to add my own.

Genevieve 'Arc Reaper of Death' Melee/Ap/Duelist/Tank Lane: Top/Mid Age: Ancient Date of Birth: Unknown Homeland: Shadow Isles Favorite Quote: "Death is an art which we only learn once." Synergies: Karthus, Mordekaiser.

Description: Genevieve utilizes her skill set to initiate and stop the opponent from going anywhere. After all we can not escape death. Reapers Death Wish will give her the sustain needed to constantly deal the damage and crowd control that she needs. Also her Reaper's Apprentice traps give her a variety of ways to set up ganks, while Reapers Portal helps her secure those ganks. Art of Death gives Genevieve the proper tools to soak up damage while also dishing out her own.

Abilities: [P] Reaper's Death Wish - When ever Genevieve dies from Art of Death, she gains 1/3/5% of her maximum health as maximum health.

[Q] Reaper's Shadow [Read Note Below] - Skillshot - 1st Activation Genevieve sends out a Reaper's Shadow (left)attaching to target enemy slowing them by [Insert % here] for 1.5 seconds, 2nd Activation Genevieve sends out another Reaper's Shadow (right) attaching to target enemy slowing them by [insert % here] for 1.5 seconds, 3rd Activation, If Genevieve manages to connect two Reaper's Shadows she can reactivate this ability to pull the target closer to her location.

Note[Think Diana's Q as in how the projectiles should look and project out.]

[W] Reaper's Apprentice - Genevieve places a reaper's apprentice at target location lasting for 60 seconds. If an enemy comes in range of the apprentice it will attach itself to the target rooting them for 2 seconds and exploding afterwards dealing magic damage.

[E] Reaper's Portal - Genevieve opens a reapers portal drawing in and dealing magic damage to all enemies caught in the vortex for 2.5 seconds.

[R] Art of Death - Genevieve channel's for 2 seconds then teleports to target location if a enemy champion is within range(closest to the center) she latches onto them for 3.5 seconds suppressing the use of their abilities and draining[Insert % per sec here] of her own life and gaining bonus armor and magic resist, at the end of the 3.5 seconds Genevieve explodes killing herself if she's below [insert % health here] and dealing %Health damage + ap to her target and half as much to surrounding enemies. Geneveive is untargetable to the person she is latched onto but not other enemy champions. Also Genevieve can reactivate this ability any time during the 3.5 seconds to instantly detonate.

Note:(targets are not rooted shes just latches onto them)

Lore: Genevieve once a renowned reaper of death has been in a slumber for many thousands of years. Awakened by the recent troubles in the shadow isles, her lust for death has been awoke. Genevieve was known as fear itself, even karthus is quite scared of her, after all she is his mother...

I like the overall kit and idea. It's a good idea not to put numbers on the abilities until someone suggests some if you're not good with the numbers, people tend to be over-critical about things on this site and numbers just give them more ammo.

While I do note that his lore never said anything about him being a normal human before turning into a lich, I would like to just warn you that people may not like the part about a reaper being his mother since he had to offer himself in order to become undead, implying that he was alive before. The way your lore goes I wouldn't suggest adding more to it to explain any of this, I like the lore the way it is, but just be prepared because someone might come in and say something like "how could an undead woman be the mother of a living person?" or something.

I would be careful about making her passive so specific; making it apply to only one of her abilities and making it scale with the level of the ability makes it seem like you just wanted to add another effect to it but didn't want to make the ability itself look OP. Maybe you could make the % health she gains back each time scale with her level, like "1% (+0.2% per champion level)" or something; I have no ideas for what you could make that wouldn't be specific to the spell, that would be a bit more up to you, but I at least wouldn't make it scale with the ability's level.

Also, one more thing, it's "without further adieu", not "without further or do" :P

Maybe Reaper's Death Wish could be something like "Genevieve encourages enemies to attack her, causing champions to have their attack speed increased by a certain % when (and only when) they are attacking her. The enemy that kills her takes 150% of the damage that they dealt to her as magic damage." This will emphasize the death-loving theme of Karthus without focusing on a specific spell. I would have said it deals double the damage that they dealt to her, but that could get way too OP late game, especially if she goes tanky and someone goes 1v1 with her and wins.
