[Champion Concept]:Raptor,The Mechanized Mercenary!

Raptor, the Mechanized Mercenary

Primary Role: Assassin Secondary Role: ADC,Fighter

Champion Overview

Raptor is an assassin with extremely high burst potential and medium sustained damage. He lacks innate sustain but excels at both punishing the enemy for their mistakes and rewarding the player for skilled, calculated plays. Raptor’s concept was a mobile assassin who can either use weaker abilities to charge his resource bar or use enhanced abilities at the cost of some charges.

Appearance

I am not an artist, so if anyone with artistic talent is nice enough to draw a concept art for this champion, I would be extremely grateful. The way I picture Raptor is a humanoid shape with head looking like kinda of the alien from Alien and Predator.Also his texutre of Battlecast Vel'Koz with black platings and one red circular eye.

Abilities

Passive - Cyberoptic Fusion

Raptor's abilities have no cost and will generate upgrade charges in the resource bar (max 7). Raptor also gains extra AD based on his level and how full his resource bar is (AD=3*level+4 AD at 7 charges). If Raptor battles with a monster or has battled with a monster in the last 10 seconds, his upgrade charges are reduced to zero.

Q - Railgun Shot-Railgun Blast(Upgraded form) No cost Range: 500 AoE Range: 250 Cooldown: 9/8/7/6/5/4 seconds

Raptor dashes to a target location (deals no damage). His next auto attack will deal 15/20/25/30/35/40% of bonus AD bonus physical damage under the form of a Railgun blast,instatly reaching for the target. This damage can critically strike. Raptor gains 1 upgrade charge for the dash, and gains 1 additional charge if Raptor's enhanced auto attack hits a target. In upgraded form, this dash costs 1 charge per dash, and it can be cast up to 3 times with a 0.5 second cooldown between each. After using an upgraded dash, Raptor's next auto attack will be enhanced and deal 15/20/25/30/35/40% of bonus AD additional AoE physical damage around the target. This damage can critically strike.

W - Venomous Blade-Explosive Blade(Upgraded form) No cost Range: 900 Cooldown: 11/10/9/8/7/6 seconds DoT:10/20/30/40/50 dmg/second

Raptor throws a blade dealing 70/100/130/160/190/220 (+60% AD) physical damage to the first enemy hit and gaining 1 upgrade charge. This applies on hit effects. In upgraded form, this ability uses all upgrade charges to throw a blade dealing the same damage knocking the target back from where the blade hits them. If the target collides with terrain, the target is stunned for (.4 x number of charges consumed seconds). The upgraded form of this ability has double the cooldown at all ranks. This also applies on hit effects.

E - Fury of the Mercenary-Sabotage(Upgraded form) No cost Range: 800 AoE range: 350 Cooldown: 20/19/18/17/16/15

Raptor launches a flurry of rockets at the target area dealing 80/110/140/170/200/230 (+70% AD) physical damage to all enemies hit and slowing them by 40% for 1 second. This also gives Raptor 1 upgrade charge. Using this ability in upgraded from consumes 2 upgrade charges. Raptor sticks a bomb at an champion slowing by 70% for 1 second. After 1 second, the bomb explodes dealing 50/65/80/95/110/125 (+60% AD) physical damage and stunning for 1 second.

R - Transformation No cost Cooldown: No Cooldown

Raptor changes between forms changing the effects of his abilities. When in upgraded from, Raptor's auto attack range is reduced to 125. This ability automatically has 1 point in it at level 1, but cannot be leveled up after that. Raptor's other abilities can be upgraded to rank 6 instead of 5.

How They Work

Passive: Cyberoptic Fusion Charges are Raptor’s bread and butter. They let him be an extremely flexible champion and require the player to think carefully about when they use what upgraded abilities. How a player uses Raptor’s charges will separate an okay Raptor player from a great one. Raptor’s passive also discourages spamming upgraded abilities through bonus AD, which should make his optimal strategy using his upgraded abilities only when going in for heavy harass or a kill. The last part of his passive stops him from jungling because he would be extremely unbalanced. He could have amazing clear speed, ganks, counter jungling, and dueling at the same time.

Q: Railgun Shot-Railgun Blast Raptor’s dash was meant to be like a more flexible version of Vayne’s tumble on a higher cooldown. While it still allows him to reposition himself, he can also use it to escape from enemies by dashing over walls. If you can use this ability to position yourself effectively, your other abilities (Venomous Blade) will be greatly benefited.

W: Venomous Blade-Explosive Blade The non-upgraded version of this ability will provide you with your main harass. Using your dash to position yourself effectively is key to landing this skill shot, but you must maintain a safe range. The upgraded form of this ability will put your positioning to the test. Using your dash incorrectly could result in taking too much harass from an opponent and potentially dying because of it.

E: Fury of the Mercenary Raptor’s Fury of the Mercenary will provide the most burst. It should be used to either trade, follow up on a Merciless Blade into a wall, or to set up so that you can push the enemy into a wall. The stun from the upgraded form will allow you to get your upgraded auto attack from your Blade Dash off without taking damage, and the non-upgraded form allows you to poke from a medium range if your Merciless Blade is down.

R: Transformation This ability makes Raptor’s non-upgraded form more appealing by making his auto attacks ranged, so his upgraded form is not always the best option. By making the max rank for his abilities 6 instead of 5, his power is more spread out and he doesn’t get huge power spikes at single levels.

Combo

As of right now, I see Raptor’s best combo starting in non-upgraded form as being: Q > W > E > Auto > R (switch forms) > E > W

This combo gives Raptor 4 upgrade charges at the beginning which allows him to use his upgraded E and W and still get good effects out of them. The placement of the auto attack gives him the maximum bonus from his passive and still get the range from his non-upgraded form.

*Raptor's combo will always change based on the situation.

Skins:Classic,Headhunter Raptor

Lore:

"Viktor was so close. He almost had the perfect model, the ideal cyborg. Everything went according to plan, but that pesky Talon always found his way out. It wasn’t over, and Viktor would not forget. Revenge was coming soon, and it would be perfect.

While creating Raptor he thought about a different robot comparing with the others,improved eyesight,inteligence and personality,the project was a true challenge creating a true killing machine from zero.

Able to throw special blades he quickly became a rival with Katarina,being stealthy and smarter than anyone in Runeterra,and his principal objective,destroy the Noxus.

His creation went perfectly,He was not looking like the other Void battlecasts,he had a human shaped body and a long head with one shining red circular eye looking threatening at everyone.

He preffered to get a nickname to dont get recognized as Raptor he called himself "Ace" his raids againist Noxus quickly got to the ears of everyone,especially to the Demacians,Noxus sent his best warriors,but many didnt come back and the ones who did they said he was looking like a demon moving very qucikly and with a robot voice throwing sharp blades with stunning speed.

And so,Raptor was summoned into the league by Viktor's side to show the world that the evolution is the only way..." Quotes:

Upon Selection: "Time for target practice!."

Movement: “Strike swiftly.” “Show them no mercy..”

Attack: "I'I'm always hitting my targets!" "Run while still you can,that wont help though."

Taunt: “Your attempts to kill me are useless!” “Not you again...”

Joke: “(Transforms into a plane)Like what you see?” “(Transforms into a plane)Hell from above!”
