Fan Champion Concept - Sare, the Street Rat

Amulet·8/4/2014, 12:50:04 PM·14 votes·6,295 views

Hello! I originally made Sare's concept about..a year ago perhaps? But I was fairly new to the game, so didn't know much about balancing, and therefor her kit sort of fell apart and didn't make any coherent sense. I was aiming at having a fairly swift Piltovian assassin. She's the thematic foil to Caitlyn, and I sort of drew inspiration as her being "C" (as from Caitlyn's lore). Picture in attachment below (how do I make it appear on a forum post?) drawn by nfoque on dA. Thank you! My comments below in italics. Without further ado, here's Sare!

Sare, the Street Rat Assassin Secondary: Fighter

Base Stats:

Health: 420 (+ 85) Health Regen: 6.5 (+ 0.55) Mana: 195 (+ 40) Mana Regen: 6.5 (+ 0.75) Range: 125 Attack Damage: 48 (+ 3) Attack Speed: 0.634 (+ 3.2) Armor: 15 (+ 3.7) Magic Resist: 30 (+ 1.25) Movement Speed: 335

Generic stats for an assassin, I suppose. I designed her to be a top laner, but she's fairly weak early game (as with most assassins anyway) Nothing atypical to point out.

NEW PASSIVE! Passive: Swift - On minion kill, Sare gains a movement speed buff depending on the unit killed that decays over 3 seconds. Different buffs can only stack up to 3 times.

Lane Minion - 5% (+ 10 + champion level flat ms) Siege/Cannon/Promoted Minion - 10% (+ 2 x champion level flat ms)

Thank you to MyraKai for the new passive idea! Provides her a little extra speed for farming and dodging skill shots while at it. Faster MS bonus from killing Siege/Cannon minion because people tend to harass heavily for darting in to get the last hit, and the speed allows her to avoid the damage the best she can. Also some power late game to make it not so useless.

Q: Poisoned Dagger – Sare stabs her victim on her next attack, dealing 70/110/150/190/230 physical damage (+0.9 bonus AD)(+1% per 1% enemy missing hp). Range: 300 Mana: 70/75/80/85/90 CD: 12/11/10/9/8

Needs balancing, I guess. First ability to be maxed (usually) and designed for later game.

W: Assail – Sare kicks around her, dealing 75/110/145/180/215 (+0.7 bonus AD) physical damage and knocking up enemies for 0.3/0.35/0.4/0.45/0.5 seconds. Range: 150 Mana: 80/85/90/95/100 CD: 15/14/13/12/11

Her main source of CC, but a very short one if not maxed. Does ok damage, but higher cooldown.

E: Grapple – Sare launches a hook immediately, if the hook connects with an enemy champion, it deals 60/110/150/190/210 (+ 0.8 AP) magic damage, also slowing for 15%. On ally (does not apply cc or damage) or enemy hit, Sare immediately dashes to the attached unit’s current position. Sare can hold up to 2 charges of Grapple. Range: 900 Mana: 60/65/70/75/80 + 1 stack Static CD: 1.5 Recharge: 15/14/13/12/11

Probably similar to Nautilius or Thresh hook, but does not stun the enemy. The speed at which Sare is pulled is approximate to Akali's R dash or Leona's E. Fairly quick, but slow enough to be stopped by a well-timed Janna Q or any other knockback/knock up. This is her main engagement tool and her disengage (albeit mediocre for disengaging because it requires communication for your teammate to be positioned to where you can actually hook them.)

R: Hide and Seek – Sare marks an enemy (mark seen floating above target), stealthing herself to all enemy units aside from the target for 4/6/8 seconds. She also deals 20% increased damage to her target and gains an additional flat bonus of 20/30/40 AD and 25/45/65% MS buff for 3/4/5 seconds. Enemy skillshots break her stealth. Abilities and autoattacks cast by Sare also break her stealth. Target Range: 2000 Mana: 100 at all ranks CD: 120/100/80

Probably her most unique mechanic! It's similar to Rengar's ult, but instead of being stealth to everyone, you are stealthed to everyone BUT to the person you target. Mini Vayne/Poppy ult is also in there. Evokes the feeling that you can see your killer, but no one else can. Alternatively, you could ult the support and dive in for the ADC, but the support can see you and CC you.

Overall, an average assassin's kit with a damage tool some cc, and selective stealth.

More information (ie. Lore/Champion quotes etc.) in next post because I've appeared to hit a limit. View in Chronological if you wish to see.

Lore (needs polishing since I wrote it a year ago and never looked back):

Being born into a rich family, Cesare never embraced the life of luxury. Every night she would sneak out to run amok in the streets of Piltover. And with a sense of exhilaration and excitement, Cesare would quietly slip back into her house without a soul knowing about her nightly journeys. For years, her parents knew nothing about it. However, on one particularly gloomy night, a servant spied Cesare dropping out from the window and running off into the streets. The servant immediately reported his findings to Cesare’s parents, who swiftly called the authorities to locate her and bring her back.

Her parents were so disgusted in her behavior, that they disowned her and left her in the streets that had been Cesare’s home away from home. She was distraught, as she had no money, no home, and only the clothes on her back. But eventually, she found her way to adapt to street life, teaching herself to steal and pillage, even shortening her name to Sare. Everything about taking what others had plenty of, and what the street rats had nothing of. With a flick of her wrist, the wallet from a rich man’s pocket would fall into her hand, and she would melt into the crowd without a trace. Sare even stole weapons from assassins as they snuck through the alleyways.

Of course, these crimes didn’t go unreported. Caitlyn, the sheriff of Piltover herself was attracted to catching the culprit. Sare appreciated the new challenge, and would pickpocket with the sheriff in hot pursuit. Every time, Sare has eluded Caitlyn, and with a record to keep clean, Caitlyn would do anything to catch her. Sare quickly found her way into the League of Legends to find her parents who abandoned her, and to keep on doing what she did best: Stealing right under Caitlyn’s nose, and leaving only her calling card behind.

"Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me, Caitlyn! Not today, not ever! Hahaha!" ~ Sare

I appreciate all feedback! =D Thank you!

I like the champ. However, given her Lore (love it, BTW) of being a thief, why not use that as a part of her kit?

For example (doing this quick), why not, when she uses one of her moves, she steals X amount of gold from another champ. This could be based on autoattacks or duration or captured in a specific range or something. Would be very unique to the game and would fit her story well.

Good job overall - would just like to see a bit more interesting items in her kit!

She looks like an attack on titan character

I'd love to play her, and she's pretty also! Although her ult would seem a little clunky especially in team fights I think it'd be easily canceled. All in all, great job!

MEMEME6708/5/2014, 10:38:37 AM1 votes

Why does her stealth go away when she gets hit, if an enemy can see her whenever she stealths?

Like, anyone with any experience against the champion will communicate that she's ulted, the person who she ulted will hit her, and she will become unstealthed basically immediately. Unless you mean she is stealthed only to her target, which seems VERY counterintuitive, because you want to get past (not be seen by) the frontline, which is not who you want to ult.

MyAccountYouGuys8/5/2014, 11:10:05 AM1 votes

Uh, hang on. Your ult's tooltip is the complete opposite of your description of it afterwards-says she 'stealths herself to all enemies EXCEPT her target' but you then say 'instead of stealth to everyone, you are stealthed ONLY to your target'. So which is it? Invisible to the one she's ulting, or to the rest of their team instead?

In any case, why does the damage buff she gets from it wear off before her maximum stealth duration? You'd have to practically already be on your target to use it, but by that point stealthing does very little. On top of that, it seems real easy to make her visible in a team fight. One stray...well, anything knocks her out of it instantly.

Oh, and I guess the ranges on her W is a tad big. She must have crazy extend-o legs to kick everything into the air around her like Wukong does. Maybe shorten the E too, say down to a Blitz grab of 875/900 or whatever it is.

Her ult is the same as Talons lol plus Talons E. I think it should be more like Poppys in that she remains only visible by the marked target for the duration of the mark but enemy skillshots can still hit her if she's in the path. And being a swifty sneaky assassin she should have at least 350 movement speed.

I like the idea of it and the taunts are awesome too and I'd play her more then Katarina andJinx so yeah i hope this dose get turned into a champion. ps nice back story but it needs to say how she joined the league

MyraKai8/5/2014, 7:46:16 PM1 votes

I like the concept of a melee assassin who gains move speed per unit kill. I don't want to comment on balancing as I'm no good at it but what if say for her passive, she gains move speed that decays over a small amount of time. the % of move speed would be different for each type of target example below (ALL NUMBERS ARE A LIE DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! D:)

Passive: Sare gains x % MS that decays over 2 seconds, MS speed gained varies upon unit. Small minions and small jungle minions = 1.5% Large minions = 3% Large Jungle minions = 5% Dragon and Baron = 7%

(Personally I'm not a fan of her getting MS from champ or structure kills as that is Jinx's passive)

I'm interested in seeing how Sare develops, I'll be watching this thread quite a bit. :3

SHE LOOKS LIKE SASHA OR YMIR FROM ATTACK ON TITAN!!! LOOK! http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131226081606/shingekinokyojin/images/f/f7/Ymirbattleoftrost.jpg http://sashakishore.weebly.com/uploads/6/3/2/9/6329915/7310887_orig.jpg

i LOVE her, i hope she becomes an actual champ to play.

altho when it comes to the things she says ,

its a bit too long?.. shes a thief so wouldn't it be unique of her to talk in riddles with a sarcastic tone?

also on the subject of stealing gold. maybe you can make her to steal gold only when other champs steal her kill or cs and the money you steal increases as they take more cs and ks from you and only then can the passive be activated ? it seems more fair to me because when i was playing adc gold was a very hard thing to acquire when the support takes your cs and your kills on purpose. this will give you the ability to catch up on the items you buy despite being a lvl lower than others . i think this champ will help teach people who do that to stop.

bec with this passive, alot of trolling can happen. ( a friend of mine mentioned this) stealing gold from the opponents wouldn't be fair at all.

If this champion was in the game, I would definitely play her often.

Le Lightside10/21/2014, 5:55:56 AM1 votes

question how would this effect caitlyn because she is looking for her right so if she join's the league caitlyn has then found her and have no further point into staying in the league of legends. counter argument she would be protected by the league so cait can not actually do anything to her outside of the fields of justice kind of a like a diplomatic immunity.

Le Lightside10/21/2014, 6:05:03 AM1 votes

change her e to were if it misses it can be reactivated for a get away since she is on of the masters of evasion eluding caitlyn for so long and if hit enemy units could be reactivated as well so she wont dive into a team and die could still have a the 2 stacks

Note: Sare is fairly immature. Also likes to say 'stealing'. A lot.

Upon Selection: So many people to kill. So much money to steal.

Attacking: Stealing is my specialty. And killing. That's about all I can do really. Just me, my dagger, and some gold. That I took from people, dead or alive. Doesn't matter really. I swear I didn’t take a thing. Well...not this time, anyway. I do what I want. More or less. No guarantees. Nice gold you have there, is it for free? Honestly you'd think they would hide their coin purses somewhere safer than their back pockets. So much to see, so much to take. I should ring up that Jinx girl sometime. She destroys, I get the goods. Let me leave my business card for them! I can see the headlines now! Didn't you have something in your pocket a few seconds ago?

On occasional enemy unit kill: Cha-ching! Great. Only hundreds more to go!

Movement: They sound rich. I can hear the coins ringing. Ooo! These boots really hurt my feet. Don’t mind if I do. Get in, get out. Finders keepers. Losers. There's a time and place for everything. Stealing is universal. I do love me some cupcakes. Without the bear traps around them, of course. Can’t catch me! Not a chance. Do they really think they can hide from me? Hitting and Running are my two middle names.

Taunt: The only crime is stupidity. And you seem to have 350 offenses in that. Don’t worry, I can steal from you after you’re dead.

Joke: Hmm..no. Can't say I like potatoes. (cookies to anyone who knows the reference) From all the money I steal, you'd probably think I could've retired early. Sadly, I haven't stolen enough for that. Money in the bank, stealing is easy.

Laugh: Annoyingly high and snorty.

Taunting an enemy Caitlyn: Still can’t catch me! Slowpoke. You fall off too hard on the trail. Your shots aren’t so much skill as they are luck. You missed so badly you pegged the person next to me. That hurt? Pff.

Near an allied Caitlyn: Work as a team this once. Don’t arrest me after this. Kill people first, catch me second. Got it? Can I have the gold? You’re not so bad. If only you didn’t want me arrested of course. We could be friends.

Taunting an enemy Vi: You're Caitlyn's little goon? Huh. Piltover's Finest? You don't look the part. Maybe you should invest in giant feet instead so you could actually keep up.

Taunting an enemy Jinx: I've heard a lot about you. Mostly bad things. Who needs three guns anyway? If you can run away from Vi in Piltover, why can't you run away when she dunks you here?

Lore in next post because I hit the limit. Again.

Why does this look so much like Sera, Slum Rat on the old boards but without the Unseen mechanic?

Great minds think alike, I guess.

Merth128/4/2014, 4:13:03 PM1 votes

I love this idea a lot. Mostly because I love Piltover. But she no interact with Ezreal?
