Champion Concept: Willo' the Wisp

Lore:

_A Lone child walks through the night, the child seeks friends, he seeks to use his powers to help others. however, he finds that nobody even notices him. those that do run in fear. Why is that? Simply put, Willo' is dead. _

Willow was a very content child, growing up in the Noxian countryside near the border. His Mother was poor, but still tried to supply him with all the love and affection he needed. In this never ending struggle of survival, she was willing to do anything to make ends meet, and eventually turned to prostitution. Willo' knew of the situation, but did not care, to him his mother was the most precious person to him. He was willing to do anything to protect her. He was jeered at for being the son of such a woman, but he still did not care. For Willo' knew of his mother's true character, he pressed on.

One Faithful night the village on the countryside was attacked. In an attempt to pressure Noxian forces into An attack, Demacian forces seiged the village. The Demacians were cruel and looked down on the people for being heathens. These people didnt care about Noxius' political agenda, they were simply born there and lived their lives. The Demacian forces didn't understand and proceeded to torture the villagers.

Eventually, they got tired of waiting for a Noxian response, and the women and children were systematically killed while the men were forced into Demacian "reeducation camps". One taken life for each day of no reply. Noxius never responded, and thus the tragedy of Lonewood came to be.

Willo's mother forced him into the boards underneath the floor as Demacian soldiers raided homes for their next victim. Her final words to him were "be strong, dont make a sound.... I love you, my son." When they arrived they arrived with the full knowledge of her occupation as a prostitute and brutally assaulted her. Willo' watched horrified from underneath, crying squeezing his hand against his mouth to avoid making noise. How could a Demacian soldier be content with such an act? simple. the entire time they cursed her for being a "heathen". and at the end of the humiliating assault on all fronts, she was beheaded. blood splattered right into Willo's face. and finally he made noise.

He final moments were tragic. He cried, he was angry at everyone. He was Mad at Demacia for committing such acts of war, and he was mad at Noxius for not rescuing him and his mother. the soldiers looked on ready to put the 6 year old "heathen" out of his misery once and for all. by removing his arms and then cutting him across the chest. Willo fell to the floor. His final minute of life was in saddened anger. However at the end, his childish innocence never subsided. He could not find it in him to hold a grudge against the Demacians. Instead, he simply didnt want the tragedy to repeat anywhere else.

Willo' is a wandering child's spirit. Bound to Runeterra Simply to find a way to help the world; so that he will never have to see a tragedy such as this again.

As Willo' wandered the plains of the world, he met a mysterious man, who gave him an ethereal body for this quest. and continues it to this day.

Design Philorophy:

Willo' is designed to be a champion with no damage spells, yet still made to be incredibly powerful. His abilities are either buffs debuffs or heals. he is designed to be a support to be sought after. he helps in things such as Objective control, map pressure and even protects teammates from a tower dive. that being said I personally feel the current ratios are too strong, However this was intentional to simply allow reduction of skills. Just rememver what Willo' is. Willo by lore is a spirit wandering the world of Runeterra who wants to help people, but nowhere was it stated that he was a good spirit, nor that he was devoid of being a flawed individual. He is the result of War so he doesnt practice it, instead he simply helps whichever side he is currently allied with.

He uses some of the old LOL lore idea of the League being a place to stop war and if that ever changes naturally there would have to be some reworking, until that comes out, however he is a spirit searching for a way to help others.
