[Champion Concept]-[Work in progress] (Name) The Infected Artisan

(name) the (name) Role: Support...Jg? Top?... (image001)

-_-

Passive – Strongyloides Stercoralis - Once every (time) seconds (name) releases a (% movement speed) moving bug that seeks the nearest enemy (or neutral) unit. Upon finding a unit the bug steals (amount) of mana and returns it to the nearest allied champion. Max of 1/2/3 bugs at a time (scales with ult) Additional mana is returned from champions and large/epic monsters. A bug returning to (name) will also reduce his cooldown timer on his ultimate ability by (low amount, 1 second per bug returned?)

_Fun way to bring some mana regen back. A bug could leave you bottom lane, find the scuttle crab, take some mana, and then deliver the mana to the champion mid lane. (Because at the time the bug was released it was close to scuttle, but scuttle ran making it closer to mid when the bug was “returning”) _

-_-

Q – Blood Fluke – (name) releases a (very fast) moving bug skill-shot (range). Upon reaching the target the bug will latch on until shot off (can-not shoot off self). The leech applies a movement speed de-buff to whoever it is attached. Reactivating the ability removes the leech, which then returns to (name) granting him a (moderate) decaying speed buff. (leveling increases slow debuff and speed buff as well as bug travel speed)

Think illaoi tentacles but reverse. Instead of being the only one that can shoot the tentacles you are the only one that cannot shoot the leech. The leech draws agro, so even creeps can shoot it off if no allies are around. Still a powerful chasing tool and very powerful if a target is isolated. Recasting the ability before the bug reaches it’s location recalls the bug and refunds half of mana costs/cooldown. Can be cast through minions/over walls.

-_-

W – Naegleria – (Name) attaches a bug to a target (point and click) within (scaling range). The bug deals (scaling ability power) damage. Passive: If the bug kills the selected unit it infects its brain, and controls the unit to fight for your allied team. Does not apply to champions or large monsters.

Think if tahm can eat it, you can infects its brain. Both a bonus for turning a creep wave in your teams favor and a trade-off because it provides opponents with more farm. Would work best in a jungle setting, think small dude attacking red buff with you.

**E –Baylisascaris – **(Name) places a burrowing (un-targetable) bug on/in the ground. When an enemy unit comes within range the bug will pop out of the ground and explode dealing (scaling AoE ability power) damage. When the bug explodes it marks enemies with Acanthamoeba.

Passive – Acanthamoeba - Targets marked with bugs blood are revealed for (scaling amount) of seconds. Additionally, the first (amount) of auto attack(s) against a target marked with bugs blood deals bonus attack damage.

-_-

**R – Morgellons Disease – **(Name) releases a swarm of bugs that chase all enemy champions in (range) after a (time) channel. Upon reaching the champion the bugs wrap them in a cocoon, stunning the target for (time) seconds, and biting them dealing (low ability power) damage over time. The bugs leave a trail behind them in their pursuit granting allies a (scaling) speed buff, as well as granting enemies in the trail a (scaling) movement speed de-buff. Enemies marked with Acanthamoeba take bonus damage throughout.

_Range about the size of a Fiddle/Nunu ult. Bugs travel a little slower than a Nautilus Ult. Also, think Elixir of Iron kind of speed trail left behind bugs. Leaving the trail instantly removes buff. Trail remains for a while (think snail trail slime) but decays at a max distance/time. Becoming un-targetable (zhonyas) while the bugs are in pursuit cancels the bugs chase. They would return to (name) and (name) would be granted a lower cooldown and partial mana refund. The trail, however, remains. Direction traveled in the trail does not matter, running toward or away from an enemy on the trail grants the same speed buff. _

This is a work in process but so far tell me what you think! any changes need to be made/ have a better idea (like a name)? Comment Below!

Also, look up the names of his abilities they coincide with real life parasites O.o
