[Champion Suggestion] [Concept +Sketches] [Game Mechanics] Iron Maiden
Possible phrases: "I wanted that my second death was only my defeat. My defeat is the death of everything." "I ca not be defeated... I cannot ..." "To remember that I am just another scheme in the machinations of Leblanc fills me with bitterness... But I must ignore these trivialities if I want to stop him..." "I miss feeling the flavors... Miss the heat of the skin... I'm just cold metal now..." "Do I move by hope or despair?"

Brief history: Leblanc, fearing Mordekaiser's return, spent decades fortifying the fear and obedience of a powerful wizard and a legendary Noxian swordman general. He imbued their minds and souls in a metal casing in order to create an indestructible and relentless soldier. However, upon finally testing the necromantic studies of whole lives, the metallic body did not move. After much thought, Leblanc realized that the fear imbued in their minds was a double-edged sword, they no longer had the willpower or wisdom to avoid internal conflict and remain in focus. After more decades, Leblanc finally got a perfect candidate. Naxiha, a newly promoted Noxian general. Although she did not possess the same strength as her soldiers, she faced enemy armies with her soldiers on the front lines. Fearless and resilient as a rock, she always came back wounded but alive and victorious. Leblanc at last revealed the truth about the iron revena and used Naxiha's determination to coordinate and move the body of the metallic nemesis. (who knows she could be that disciple of Darius who appears in his HQ?) Skills:
-
Passive - Iron Maiden: Projectiles and lasers do not cross the Iron Maiden.
-
Q - The Trooper: By activating this ability, Iron Maiden switches between sword, staff and fists. After the weapon gives the third attack and breaks, it will take x seconds until it rebuilds again. For each broken weapon, the Iron Maiden fists will do more damage. Fists: Basic attacks gain attack speed and have a minimum range. The third attack will be followed by an extra. Amount: Basic attacks deal damage in the area and have a range greater than the Fists. The third attack will be a thrust with greater range that will deal extra damage to the first enemy hit. Staff: Your attacks become ranged, costs mana, can be done while moving and cause damage to the area around the target. The third basic attack will send a wave of blue fire in front of the Iron Maiden. NOTE: The weapon exchange is instant, the attack is not, each weapon has its unique attack speed.
-
W - Dance of Death: Upon activation, Iron Maiden becomes purposely vulnerable, if this ability is activated again upon receiving an attack, it gains bonus for adaptive damage, and the life lost by the attack absorbed will be recovered over time.
-
E - Wrathchild: While this ability is active, Iron Maiden rages and runs unshakably, gaining tenacity and a small bonus movement speed in exchange for mana per second. If an enemy is in up to x units away from the Iron Maiden, it will advance in a push, which, in case the hit enemy hits a wall, will stun him for x time and put the ability on recharge time. Climbing a wall with Wrathchild will put the ability into recharge time.
-
R - Death or Glory: The Iron Maiden sacrifices life to summon a sword of magic to attack in a cone in front of her, causing damage and adding another stack to the weapons of The Trooper.
Final considerations: I particularly didn't like W and R, I mean, I liked the skills, but I don't think I'm adding much to the Kit, even a little of the passive. The ultimate is called "Death or Glory", but the skill itself does not seem to have any mechanics that would endanger the character, or that using it is a risky thing, you have to use it to maintain a rate of decent damage. I was thinking of the passive being that the Iron Lady had no life bar, but "Iron Bar", which would allow her to lose parts of the metal shell before her soul was exposed and just vanishes, but I didn'tt think of no mechanics for this... Another passive idea would be that when she dies, the other two parts of the body would make one last attack before they died (with the third attack of their respective weapons). I am also in doubt if I add another attack on Q's weapons, 3 attacks seem to be very little, maybe it would be interesting to keep 4? The Iron Lady is an unstoppable and relentless soldier with knowledge of war tactics, melee and magic techniques, and I feel that I have already achieved this with the passive, the Q and the E. But I don't know if it would be a good idea to split the staff, the sword and the fists (The Trooper) into different abilities rather than one and put Wrathchild as the ultimate.
- Some time passed and I thought of some things that might be interesting, maybe. I thought of adding a passive that if the Iron Maidens kills an enemy champion, she can pick up and add to The Trooper their weapon. If the champion is ap, the weapon would give the champion's basic attacks, but when broken, it would the same effect of the staff, if it were an AD weapon, would add bonus damage to the last basic attack. Of course I thought of this passive with Graves and Jhin in mind (the weapon would break if the ammo ran out), but not all the champions have very useful weapons and some do not even have one, besides, I do not see much advantage in gameplay for this passive other than adding stacks to Q (The Trooper).
- I also thought of some utility for the Iron Bar, it would be interesting if the Iron Maiden could not receive any kind of healing other than from the base or from her base life regeneration (items that increase life regeneration would have no effect). That's because, after all, her guns get fixed over time, why wouldn't her body? Maybe I could use the** W **to create some way to recover life, or even come to life by destroying the weapons, or attacking enemies, or killing enemies. I even thought about the possibility that the Iron Maiden, instead of a bar of life, her armor would be her "life," and the magical resistance would be a shield against magic. Of course, or would need an armor multiplier, or armor converter and magical resistance in an "adaptive armor" (a "neutral" armor that holds ap and ad) or even a life to armor converter or similar (or even convert mana to life / armor?)
