Moloch is an energy based magic damage melee fighter. Playing Moloch demands an aggressive approach to combat as otherwise he will waste his damage potential and limited energy pool. He takes time to reach his full potential both in the game and in individual fights but once there he can outpace all but the most powerful late game scaling opponents.

Appearance: Shadowy figure the height of braum with a clawed left hand and wielding a large sword in his right hand. Clothing consists of a ragged cloak draped over his shoulders and partially over his left arm, trousers over his legs, and a hood completely covering his head. Armour is: one pauldron on his right shoulder secured with a strap running across his torso to his waist, vambraces on his forearms, an armoured glove on his right hand, armoured greaves on his shins, a knee pad on his left leg. His face is completely invisible and nothing protrudes of his hood. Sword is quite similar to black knight ultra great sword from dark souls with some alterations to fit with Moloch’s overall ascetics. Alterations include: having a longer handle with a heavier spiked pommel, the cross guard being made bigger and more pronounced, having the blade becoming half as wide toward the hilt and being is attached to Moloch via a tendril wrapped around his right forearm that allows it to be swung at long range. An inky black substance constantly spurts and crawls across his body and his sword is wreathed in it to the point that it leaves a trail as he attacks with it.

Role: fighter/mage

Stats Health: 571-2046 Health regen: 8.1-20.2 Energy: 400 Energy regen: 50 Melee: 150 Attack damage: 60-110 Attack speed: 0.660 (+0%-31.3%) Armour: 26.7-85.7 Magic resist: 32.1-53.4 Movement speed: 335

Abilities Passive: Corruption Damage per second: 5+ 2.5Xlvl (+20% AP) Damage amplification: 5%/7%/9% (+1% per 75 AP) Energy restored: 40+10Xlvl energy Moloch’s attacks and abilities apply a shred of his corrupting body to targets they hit for 4 seconds. When Moloch damages the target twice the next active ability that strikes them will cause them to become fully corrupted, connecting them to him with a tendril of darkness while they remain within 500 units of Moloch, that deals damage every half second to them and splitting off to partially corrupt two more targets, dealing 50% damage to them. While an enemy is being damaged by the tendril Moloch’s abilities, along with the one that triggered corruption, will deal bonus damage to them while also gaining bonus effects and restoring Moloch’s energy. Basic attacks and abilities will refresh the duration of corruption and hitting a secondary target with an ability will instantly trigger full corruption on them as well, target’s can only be damaged by the strongest tendril at any one time.

Q: Reaping spiral Cost: 120/115/110/105/100 energy Range: 600/350 Magic damage per hit: 50/75/100/125/150 (+32.5% AP) Slow: 10%/15%/20%/25%/30% Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 Moloch swings his sword out onto its tendril in a 2 hit combo, first in a long range slam ahead of him before bringing it around for a shorter range 360 slash that also slows enemies hit for 2 seconds. Moloch is unable to move during the slam but can move as he performs the slash. Corruption: Moloch reels enemies hit by the slam or slash into basic attack range.

W: Eye of Chaos Cost: 100 energy Max bonus movement speed/slow resist: 10%/20%/30%/40%/50% Min damage: 50/70/90/110/130 (+30% AP) Max Shield/damage: 5%/6%/7%/8%/9% max health + 100/140/180/220/260 (+60% AP) Cooldown: 10 Moloch begins charging himself with chaos energy for 4 seconds, this skill can be cast while disabled and doesn’t inhibit or interrupt any other actions. During this time Moloch gains bonus movement speed and slow resist that increases over the duration and stores half the damage he deals and receives as entropy, up to a maximum equal to double the damage of the blast. After the 4 seconds elapse or the skill is re-cast after reaching maximum entropy Moloch releases the stored energy to deal damage to surrounding enemies, increased by up to 100% based o his entropy, and gain a shield for 5 seconds equal to a percentage of his maximum health plus the entropy he stored while charging. Corruption: Moloch reflects 10% of the pre-mitigation damage from corrupted enemies back at them while Eye of chaos is charging and retains the maximum movement speed and slow resist for 4 seconds if he hits a corrupted enemy.

E: Dark words Cost: 150 energy Range: 400 Max damage: 60/80/100/120/240 (+64% AP) (+8/9/10/11/12% target’s max health) Max slow: 10%/15%/20%/25%/30% Cooldown: 15 Moloch lets out a blood chilling scream at enemies in a cone in front of him for 3 seconds, while being slowed by 15% and unable to make other actions while screaming (Moloch can reactivate to stop screaming). The scream is laced with dark magic that overwhelms the body and soul of anyone that hears it, causing them: to take magic damage every second, have their movement speed reduced (stacking twice) and be silenced for 0.5 seconds every time they are damaged. The damage is reduced down to 60% at max range. Corruption: Enemies are feared instead of silenced while also taking full damage regardless of range.

R: Apocalypse Cost: none Heal from damage:4%/6%/8% Range: 1000 Impact radius:150 Damage: 200/300/400(+60%AP) Slow duration:1.5/2/2.5 Cooldown:120/100/80 Passive: Moloch is healed for a percentage of the damage dealt to fully corrupted targets Active: Moloch leaps high in the air before crashing down at the target location. Champions hit by the impact are fully corrupted but only suffer the corruption bonus effects if they were already corrupted. Corruption: Enemies are knocked up for 1 second and deal 15% reduced damage for 3 seconds afterward.

Lore DISCLAIMER: for the optimum experience please read this section last (so get skipping and don;t come back until you read the poem and quotes. I mean it!)

Rage, lust, envy, hubris and greed. Wants that we should do our best to deny, desires that will bring pain if we act on them, urges that drive good men to evil: such is the dark power of corruption. From the dawn of time every creature with a will of its own feels the burden of Corruption on its mind, driving it to act in the most heinous ways to fulfil its greatest desires. Such a terrible and powerful force must have an equally powerful and evil master, such a master is Moloch. A celestial of pure darkness Moloch wants only to conquer all of existence; a task he would have completed long ago if the other celestials: Soraka, bard, Aurelion sol and the protector hadn’t defeated him and shattered his body across the cosmos. For millennia he has waited in the shadow of Runeterra for the perfect moment to strike at his foes, amassing an army and weakening the other celestials. Now with Soraka fallen, the protector taking a new body, bard drawn to Runeterra, Aurelion sol bound by the Targonians and his army complete he has finally shown himself, in all his dark glory, to begin the final battle, one that will decide the fate of the universe itself. “You made all this happen. You are responsible for all this. I just gave you the strength to do it.”-Moloch.

Poem He is rage He is hubris He is every urge and desire that would bring us harm

He is a life without restraint He is death without comfort He is the suffering that has always been, and will never stop

He is the burning forest He is the frozen tundra He is the endless depths, and the horrors they hold within

He is the screams of the dead He is the silence of the living He is the torment of those trapped between

He is the box of forbidden secrets He is the smith of the blood soaked blade He is the nightmare that exists after waking

He is darkness given flesh He is everything wrong with mankind He is the end He is Moloch

Dance Moloch performs the dance for Dagomba

Skin ideas Along with Moloch could be the release of multiple Corrupted skins for other champions. These skins would be the result of them to joining Moloch to achieve their goals, and using any means necessary. Potential corrupted champions would be: Ahri, Zed, Syndra, Sejuani, Jinx, Jhin, Nautilus, Draven, Renekton, Gankplank, Veigar, Yasuo, and Morgana. Corrupted skins would borrow ascetics from Moloch’s design: darker colours, more savage weaponry and armour and a generally darker theme to them.

I love the sound of 'Give in to your hate' ( I spoke this in palpatine's voice xD). No but seriously though this guy sounds like a complete boss.

Return the favor I shall!

The champion has a pretty heavy presence to him, which is a good goal to have for this kind of champion. The use of self-slows and partial self-movement lock-out on the q and e help create an almost horror-movie presence.

The concept of a two hit combo move in the q is interesting, though you should probably list some times on the move. For example: how much of a gap is there between the two swings? Listing the time between strikes can change not only the balance of the move, but also the feel of both the move and the character pretty substantially. A longer delay between strikes would imply a heavier weapon swung with more force, for example. As an aside, the ability looks like it could trigger two applications of corruption on a champ. Is this correct?

The idea of a sort of channel offspring as seen on his e is also a pretty novel idea as well. It locks him down while also striving to make him somewhat of a priority target due to the silence, but also has uses in stopping a retreat. I’m not sure it really needs to stack to 60% with 400 range, but that’s your call.

On the R, you mention a slow duration. I assume it occurs upon landing, but you don’t really clarify where the slow happens or how powerful of a slow it is.

If there’s anything in this kit that I’m flat out not a fan of, it’s probably Chaos Strike. I get the idea, but the move is pretty bloated with mechanics. It has:

  1. A secondary resource mechanic (entropy)
  2. A movement speed steroid
  3. A cool down reduction
  4. An auto-attack boost that creates AoE
  5. A teleport
  6. A shield with two different rulesets
  7. The corruption modifier. (and the implied task of managing corruption that all the moves have) That’s a lot of stuff going on with one move! It makes the move feel really cluttered and sort of unnatural. You might get more mileage out of simplifying the skill some and giving it a concise identity. As is, the move seems a little complicated and out of place with the rest of the kit, if that makes sense.

On the lore, I get the stylistic choice you were going for. However, it doesn’t really push much of your characters plans, goals, or personality through. It implies that you haven’t really given him much of one. I know that this isn’t true, however, because we learn so much more about your character through his jokes, taunts, and skin concepts. For example, through his taunts and jokes we learn he is manipulative, confident, and has a little bit of wisecrack streak. We also learn that he has pulled strings concerning some of the other characters of the league cast, and knows secrets about others. From the skin concept we learn that he’s trying to amass an army, probably to bring about the end of the world. While I can definitely appreciate learning about a character mostly through their interactions with the world around them, you might get a better lore score if you integrate some of this personality and purpose into a secondary section of the lore, treating what you have now as a sort of intro leading into the exploration of why your character is who he is.

In short, you’ve got some cool ideas. The slow on Dark Words and (assumingly) upon the impact of Apocalypse gives a feeling of heavy presence to the character. I think adding onto the lore might help you as far as contest scoring goes. I also feel like if you reworked Chaos Strike to be less mechanic-intensive it would improve the kit a lot. Otherwise the only other real things to note is the fact that 3 of his skills are toting slows, so changing the slow on his q to something else might create a greater feeling of variance between the moves, if you're worried about losing that some by changing Chaos Strike.
