Esmeralda, the Witch of Emeralds

Background

Esmeralda is from the same mysterious world as Taric and discovered the magic of gems together with him. But while she wanted to use the surpreme might of the gems to gain power Taric wanted to use it to help people by defending them and the knowledge of this magic. After an arguement with her former best friend and crush she was sent away and banned from the city by Tarics father who was a well-known man in his city. Years went by and after some time she came back and offered Taric the Knowledge she got from studying ancient artifacts and his last chance to go with her. But after he refused she got angry and forced him into a fight. After days and days which Taric only survived because of his better defensive and healing skills with magic he was about to win the fight and could have easily gone for the killing blow but he let her live still being in love with her. Ashamed that she lost Esmeralda left the city again and swore to come back one day to show Taric her full potential. Years after Taric was mysteriously teleported to Valoran she arrived in the city again killing everything in her way until she reached Tarics house. But she only found his father sitting in his library. After he told her that Taric would be gone and he wouldnt know where and how, she froze him into an emerald statue as a message for Taric if he ever came back. After that she has always been desperately searching for the way to get to this mysterious world Taric went to. And now she has arrived.

KIT

Passive Stored Power : Whenever Esmeralda casts an ability on an enemy champion with emeralds or attacks him she activates one of these effects depending on the number of emeralds and breaks one after that:
1 Emerald slows enemy for 1-18 % (scaling with Level) for 2 seconds
2 Emeralds slows enemy for 2-36 % (scaling with level) for 2 seconds 3 Emeralds slows enemy for 3-54% (scaling with Level) for 2 seconds 4 Emeralds stuns enemy for 0.5 sec 5 Emeralds stuns enemy for 1 sec The effects are halve as strong when activated by an autoattack Emeralds break occasionally when the enemy is moving

Q Emerald Blow: Esmeralda attacks the enemy with an emerald projectile flying from the right to the left which does extra damage per emerald the enemy is affected by . Additionally Esmeralda slides right 300 units if she hits an enemy champion with it. If she doesnt hit any unit with Emerald Blow she gets carried 150 units left and collapses causing her to get silenced for 0,5 sec and slowing her for 20% for 1 second. Damage 60/80/100/120/140 + (0.5 ap) plus 10/15/20/25/30 + (0.1 ap) per emerald Cooldown 10/9/8/7/6

W Glittering rain: Esmeralda makes an area glitter causing enemies inside it to get 1 stack of emeralds every 0.75 second lasts 3/4/5/6/7 seconds Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 E Breakup: Passive: Enemies with emeralds on them get slowed 3/4//5/6/7 percent per stack

Active: Esmeralda lets all emeralds on a champion explode causing him to take 60/70/80/90/100 (+0.3 ap) plus 20/30/40/50/60 (+ 0.2 ap) per emerald magical damage
If an enemy dies from Breakup it creates a glitter area for 1 second per stack the enemy had before death If an enemy gets hit by Breakup having 5 stacks and survives they get a glittering area around them for 5 seconds causing all enemies in it but themselves to get stacks of emeralds Cooldown 12/11/10/9/8

**R Sparkle **: Esmeralda concentrates all her magical power on one opponent causing him to take 50/100/150 +(0.4 ap) damage Also she curses him causing emerald fissures to reach from him using Stored power on him and dealing 25/50/75 +(0.2 ap) damage to him and 50/100/150 (+0.3 ap ) to every enemy that is struck by it Furthermore enemies not affected by the curse but struck by the fissures get a stack of emeralds on them instead of losing one while still getting affected by stored Power The curse goes on until the affected enemy does not carry any emeralds anymore Cooldown 120/110/100

so I made Esmeralda thinking that she has amazing cc and incredible damage

her big cons are though that her movement is very limited and the dashes of the q are NOT optional also she has to get stacks of emeralds on opponents to be succesful therefor she is amazing in narrow teamfights especially in the jungle (as long as she can position herself) furthermore getting stacks of emeralds takes time so she gets countered by most assassins but can easily wear down even tanks from distance

**ROLE **

i would consider her a control mage that fits the midlane role very well in most matchups also she can control teamfights alone as soon as she gets the ´´resets´´ of her e on the other hand she could be played support having really good cc and being able to zone

so i would appreciate all feedback you got and hope you liked this concept and if you want there is more funfact,synergies etc stuff below ;)

Taunt: You missed the chance to use your full potential, Taric
Taunt : If you wouldnt be such a whimp we could be ruling together now my dear... Taunt : Who are you ? You look like the smurf version of myself, besides even my smurf would crush you Ice Witch Taunt: You look like you haven´t showered in a looong while Taunt: You´re species was not strong enough even with this might ? You are not worth possessing it Taunt : You are look like me just ... you are fat Taunt : Peace is the excuse of the weak

Countertaunts Taunt: Gems, Gems , I´m gonna be rich Taunt: Your force is strong but your spirit is weak Taunt: You know you lost against me already i didnt know you were such a fool to try again Taunt: The way you are using your magic... I guess you haven´t even read the manual Taunt: I was surrounded by stone for ages...you dont scare me you know

Interactions : Art is the first rule of murder

: You don´t know how many emeralds surround you do you : I will always be with you

Facts/gameplay

1. Esmeralda can be easily pinned down when missing a q but she can also use the miss mechanic to dash over thin walls
2. Even though the champ might look like Lissandra on the first view its mechanics are different and it ends up being a more typical control mage using range
3. Esmeralda can only proc the emeralds herself so she can definitely chain cc a single target with her passive but she ends up having to go in autoattack range while her e and q are on cooldown
4. Esmeraldas damage abilities are mostly based on single target damage even though she slows multiple enemies
5. Esmeralda scales good into lategame and can struggle when getting into fights early without being able to set her emeralds
6. Esmeralda would be the second character from the mysterious world Taric came from

Esmeraldas first skin would be Blight Crystal Esmeralda i suggest
