Maxine, the Hostess (Now a Tank, somehow.)

Heyo, i am back w/ Maxine (yes again) because she was really weird and inconsistent so i shuffled her abilities into gasp a Kit! some numbers (cooldowns, damage) still missing in some places, you know me and numbers... Anyway: ** Maxine: the Hostess**

Class: Tank Role: Jungle

HP: 540 - 2180 AD: 52.5 - 81.4 Range: 500 Mana: N/A

Passive: Puddle of Sorrow" Maxine periodically leaves puddles of rancid bile, lasting for 10 seconds, bile pools slow enemies and deal magic damage (+5% AP) based on level. (5 dps at lvl 1, 25 dps at lvl 18)

**Q: ** "Gorb Spit" Passive- Maxine spits up a new "gorb" every 13/11/11/9/8 seconds, up to three at a time, these gorbs circle maxine and grow over 10 seconds to full size. Active- Targets an area, sending a gorb to patrol that zone (prioritizing oldest gorb), gorbs attack enemies who enter aggro range and persist for 8/13/15/20/20 seconds.

W: "Misery's Company" Maxine slowly withers enemies within 310 units for 3 seconds, gaining a temporary shield equivalent to 2/3 the Health drained.

**E: **"Venom Sticker/Gulp" Maxine fires a skillshot at an enemy, if the enemy is a Minion or Nonepic Monster below 50% Health(?), she instantly recasts "Gulp" and devours it, regaining Health. if the enemy is a Champion, they are spit up next to Maxine and take Magic Damage.

**R: **"Big Girls Don't Cry" Maxine unleashes a torrent of misery, spewing poison in a short cone, enemies caught in the blast are Knocked Back and slowed, taking 90/150/220 (+50% AP) damage, plus, all Gorbs active Pop, leaving Puddles of Sorrow. cost: 100/170/210

**Tips: ** .Gorbs can be reconsumed with "Venom Sticker/Gulp" to regain health in a pinch! .try to overlap Gorb aggro circles, forcing enemies to walk through your minefield. .the three Gorbs circling Maxine absorb skillshots that don't pierce minions, but also take damage from AOE attacks! ."Gulp" failing on a champion spits them back out in range of "Misery's Company". .Gorbs are expendable! send them out before the next one's ready to spawn!

**Lore: **

Growing up in the picture of a perfect Piltover family, Maxine was prone to illness and infection, when she came down with a case of Deadly Parasite Gorbs, her parents did all they could to cure their youngest daughter, but nothing worked. Rapidly running out of options, they sought questionable medical help in Zaun, and when even these measures failed, they left Maxine there and headed home.

Infested, unwanted, and abandoned, Maxine stewed in loathing and hatred, twisting into a disturbed creature of darkness, and with her blighted spawn matured, she's ready to spread her infectious breed of misery to the lighter parts of the Runeterra...

I cant find much to question bout the kit, it's clear this is not the first draft.

P: maybe make this infrequent but also allow it to proc automatically when attacking an enemy within a reduced range like ~150 units so it can be more effective like when you catch with your w

q: how damaging are the gorbs to enemies and also are they destructable? I think it would fit better thematically if they had some mechanism to multiply to other enemies. Perhaps when an enemy runs within range of a mature gorb it could partially explode causing damage as well as then attacking the initial target. Along with the initial explosion an immature gorb could be created and land a small distance away (think shroom bounce) to effectively become another gorb mine. The new gorb would require maturation time to produce another explosion but if an enemy walks within range before it matures it can still attack but not produce another mine or explosion. Perhaps instead of the gorb attacking component it could spawn a puddle of sorrow (in addition to the explosion+new gorb creation in the case of a mature gorb).

w: solid skill

e:does it do damage to nonchampions on the initial cast?

r: perhaps if changes to q are made the gorbs launched by her detonation could fly to the ult aoe, she'd be similar to syndra but trade raw burst for aoe and slow utility

over all i really like her kit, as a jungle she has a monster execute, a regen skill, and a shield skill which is good. As a tank she has her shield skill, her regen skill, and a catch skill plus her aoe slow and knock ult, i like her lore (her parents were pretty shitty imo lol), she seems to me like she could be a slowburn syndra who trades raw damage for the utility of an aoe/cc tank, great job :)
