Kethen, The Armored adventurer

GourmetTsukiyama·10/28/2014, 8:42:40 PM·2 votes·1,322 views

Keep in mind that I do have an image for this champion and starting stats are as of yet incomplete. Kethen is a top lane fighter/marksman similar to gangplank (but different enough to make this worth reading).

Lore My name is Kethen Amarli; I am an adventurer searching for relics of power to help defend my country from Noxians. As I walk down a pathway bordered by two mountains I hear something behind me, and turn to see a Noxian patrol. Before I can run they are upon me attacking and beating me. After a small time I lose consciousness. When I wake up the Noxians are gone, most likely mistaking me for dead. My wounds are severe and it’s likely I won't survive, but I still start to climb towards a small cave in the mountain hoping to find shelter there. As soon as I enter the cave something grabs me and starts to weld a strange armor to my skin. Once the last piece is attached, I feel power coursing through my veins and my wounds start to heal. I raise my hand and with a thought a beam of energy lances into and destroys a boulder on the opposite mountain. Such power could destroy the Noxians with ease! I climb down the mountain and head off to find the Noxian patrol that harmed me. Soon Ionia will be safe.

Starting stats Health: 445 (+85 per level) Health regen: 5 (+0.6) mana: none energy regen rate: 10 per 2 seconds (+0.5) range: 500 (ranged only) attack damage: 54 (+3) attack speed: .650 (+3.0) armor: 20 (+2.8) magic resistance 24 (+1.50) movement speed: 330 Psychic energy: 300 (+25)

Psychic energy is Kethen's replacement for mana, his helmet converts his thoughts into energy to power his abilities Kethen's basic attacls are ranged: he fires his ether gun dealing physical damage similar to gnar

Abilities: Passive: Ethereal wounds Whenever Kethen hits an enemy champion with any of his damaging abilities, he applies ethereal wounds to his target draining their mana by 2.5 per second(scales by level) for 3 seconds and refilling his energy by the drained amount.

Q: Ether blade Kethen uses the energy in his gauntlets to create an ether blade dealing an additional 15/35/55/75/95 damage per basic attack and add stacks of ethereal wounds, the sword lasts for 6 seconds and then kethen switches back to his ether gun

W: Psychic Rift: Kethen smashes the ground in front of him (or behind) to create An impassible rift in a line. the rift deals 80/100/140/160/220 physical damage to all targets it hits upon being created.

E: Overpowering thought: energy cost: 35 Kethen enters the target enemy champions mind, and subdues it snaring them for 1 second and dealing damage over the span of the snare

R: psychic slam: energy cost: 175 Kethen powers his gauntlet and smashes the ground with a larger area of effect than malphite's e dealing damage on the initial wave, the energy then returns to Kethen silencing enemies for 1 second and returning 100 psychic energy to him,

constructive criticism is welcome any ideas or suggestion are also welcome

Sounds pretty cool in my opinion, but I see a few flaws.

  1. 4 seconds is entirely too long for any form of crowd control. No exceptions. The E and ult utility would be overpowering and OP, regardless of scaling(Refer to Morg root, Fiddle fear, and Rammus taunt).

  2. What is the Mana -> Psychic energy drain ratio? Going by description it's to be an over time effect? How does this effect scale? Is it by second or is it a debuff that provides gain after it expires? Does the drain work on Energy? Fury? Rage? Are these ratios different? Does he still gain his resource pool if he hits Katarina or Garen? What if the enemy has 0 mana?

  3. Q Damage scales far too well by just leveling it up. 160 bonus damage PER hit for 15 seconds? Duration and damage are too strong and sounds easy to abuse with attack speed.

  4. Is the rift meantioned in the W impassable? Or is it just an AoE like Malzahar's w? If impassable it shouldn't deal damage aside from initial hit, if it is passable please rewrite the description to better convey the concept.

  5. If the ult is, in the end, a knockback, the distance is too large. It would be an OP disengage with 0 counter play as you would remove people entirely from a fight.

  6. As cool as the character sounds, what role is he? Is he a marksman? Would be he AP or AD? Hybrid? Is he supposed to be a Mage with basic attack bonus effects not unlike Kassadin/Orianna/Teemo?

  7. He moves a little bit too fast in my opinion. 350 base movement speed on a range champion who will PROBABLY get bonus movement speed from Lich Bane or (Insert attack speed/crit item here) sounds ludicrous. Kiting would be very nearly unmatched, especially if he has a zoning ability.

  8. His range is terribly short for a gun, is this intended? Does he retain the same range during his Q?

  9. Looking at the passive, he can only gain PE(Psychic Energy) when he deals damage with abilities, so would his Q cost any? He would need at least one ability to cost 0 PE to get any at all. Scaling the PE pool sounds a little ridiculous in my opinion, but then again costs and gains are completely unkown at the moment so its hard to even analyze.

  10. MR per level seems unfair. He starts with 35, which is already pretty high in comparison to most champions in LoL, so giving him extra scaling on it seems silly as it would appear you intend for this character to be an "Anti-mage" played in mid lane and he will have MR as a core part of his build anyways.

I think this is a really cool idea, but there are too many issues with the champion, be it lack of information or be it Overpowered.
