Old Witch Support

Herå·11/22/2019, 9:25:42 PM·3 votes·2,060 views

I kind of miss traditional supports, but I am also intrigued by this new onslaught of kill-hungry supps. What if there was an old woman who protects what she loves from harm, even at her own risk? something like:

Passive, Motherly Rage: Whenever an allied champion dies within (x) range of her, she becomes enraged and all of her abilities are buffed. She also gains (x) movement speed.

Q, Rose Thorns: Healing skill shot. if she hits an enemy champion with it, they are slowed for 3 seconds. Buffed Q: instead of slowing, it roots and deals magic damage.

W, Witch's Way: Movement speed zone (toggle). Allies who are within (x) range of her have their MS increased. Enemies have their attack speed lowered. Buffed W: She gains additional movement speed and enemies in the zone are slowed.

E, Scry: Grants vision in (x) range of her. Buffed E: Grants vision in a larger range, briefly reveals invisible champions.

R, Lifeblood: At a large cost of her health, she grants allies in a huge radius a decaying shield. Buffed R: Grants the shield but at no cost to her health.

I want her to be a really sweet old lady who might have a limp but wants to protect her teammates and murder anyone who harms them. Thoughts?

This sounds great but I see a few problems. (god i made her a karma 2.0)

1.) there's a distinct lack of damage here. the only ability that deals damage and you need to have someone die close to you. my suggestion is to have her an auto-ing support, so her ap is her auto damage.

2.) If not that then her Empowered Q should deal bonus magic damage. can we say that can choose where the stolen essence goes? so she can hold onto the enemy's essence if she needs to heal herself or recast it as a healing rose to an ally.

3.) Buffed W -ally movement speed increased as well.

4.) the E is kinda worded funny. Every champ gets vision around them. And the buffed E is just true sight, so merge them, "upon activation she gains True sight in a small range for X time" I would say add a second ability there called called Warn! "upon seeing an enemy champ she grants a (Fioras parry/ sivirs block) negating the next enemy's attack" the witch would warn her allies about the attack. And for her buffed E why not make make it 2x the range and warn would activate on all allies.

5.) some added flair can we make her R scale with the amount of hp lost, so like it would remove (25%, 50%, 75% current health) and provide a shield twice the amount lost. And if she were to die within X time of ult cast her shield gains like x% strength. But that Empowered R i think would change into a slightly stronger shield for the same amount of health. if shes sacrificing herself for her allies it doesn't make much sense for her to not receive any damage.

these are just my two cents on that character you made.

Q- Siphoning rose/ healing rose BQ- Culling of the thorns W- (no changes) E- Scry/warn BE- Seek/ Exclaim R- LifeBlood BR- Pact of Blood

TL;DR spent way too much time on this and probably ruined ops idea.

hmm interesting. I like the idea. Kind of reminds me if Soraka and Ashe were one champion.

The idea gave me an idea for a single ultimate though for a support that could exist. The support converts 50% of her current HP as a shield(very noticeable) to an ally, that if broken over the duration, it damages, knocks back, and stuns enemies in an aoe around the ally. The support maybe could use it on their selves as well, but further experimentation would be required, especially concerning the rest of the kit.

The rest of the kit could be about sustain. could even be similar to vlad, and instead of having an MP bar, they would use Health to cast. Maybe they had a passive similar to Kalista where they mark an ally(possibly only one they can ult). Reason they'd need the ally designated though is so they would share the HP they'd steal. So when they'd Q someone, it would divide the HP stolen between the support and the designated ally. It would be really cool if the Q was an aoe as well, so that the more enemies they get inside aoe of the skill-shot, the more hp they steal for them self and the ally.

Maybe they have a skill like Taric's instead just to designate an ally, so the support can switch when they need to idk. maybe they don't need to designate anyone, and they just share the hp stolen to champions within in a small aoe around the support similar to rakan.

I like Senna's E, but I'd prefer if it wasn't an aoe... like I want a support that can target an ally to go invisible for a few seconds...very similar to an item in DotA, called Glimmer Cape. It's pretty much necessary for every position 5 to build this item. It also gives magic resistance in dota 2, but instead, it would be cool if while invisible, they'd take reduced damage from aoe attacks. basically same thing now that I think about it cuz only way they'd get hit while invisible is aoe. The Senna version is great, but it's still really easy to tell where they are/where they are going, etc. Also the fact it's aoe and a whole group can sit under it is kind of ridiculous. I just think it would be good for a support if they had a targetable invisibility spell as peeling for immobile adcs can be near impossible against such a heavily mobile meta.

I think I've asked for something like that in the past as well. I think this game needs a glimmer cape really effin bad. Like.. NEEDS lol

Biggest issue is an old witch can't ever get young hip sexy and trendy skins, thus won't be profitable.
