Ideas for a yordle piloting a robot suit.
I named this wrong this is [Champion concept] for a new robotridin' yordle
I haven't thought all of the features for the champ so the Riot team could have their own work on this too.
This champion is a yordle, basically a better-looking version of Rumble
, meaning that he has a robot to control but it doesn't looke like made out of scrap metal in the nick of time. The yordle controls this vehicle by motion, which means that the robot does the same motions as the controlling yordle. to solve several movement problems it is wisest to make the yordle float inside the vehicle.
The passive for this champion would be an ejection seat. the idea is that
- upon taking a lethal damage the champion will launch themselves in to a nearby location from the robot (the player will have short time to aim and during that time the champion is invulnerable and untargetable)
I was thinking about options about that when his passive kicks in and the champion has been launched his appearance would be either like he was now on foot or floating(just the yordle, no vehicles), or he was now piloting much smaller hovercraft of some sort. His movement speed and health could be affected but I couldn't decide about what way, I leave that to you, and maybe his abilities would also change.
I was also thinking that he either could somehow eventually regain the robot suit (if so, the aim of the ejection seat is to get the champion to safety and try to run from the enemies), or then he would fight in that appearance till he is killed.
Now the ultimate ability where this all began
-Ultimate ability - Holoprojection (I want a better name for it, if that is not good enough. also there is one variation for this, I will mention it later)
the champion creates a holographic copy of themselves(and the existing holoprojection) this ability holds up to two charges.
so what I expect from that? The champ will create a copy that looks exactly like him (like Shaco
or LeBlank
or others) The copies move like Anniee's
Tibbers or like that. They are targetable but here comes the big difference, they DO NOT INFLICT ANY DAMAGE, they also DO NOT RECEIVE any damage. That means they are not dangerous at all, only freakishly annoying. Also, they have the same auto attack as the champ itself, and when the champ does an ability, the holograms do the same (like Zed's
shadow, but they do not inflict any extra damage)
Now there of course will be that problem that it is easy to know who is the real, right? I don' think so. Oh and if the real one is hit, the holograms follow the healt bar with it, whick means they look the exactly same all the time, not just upon the cast.
So, because the ulti holds two charges, this mean the champ can make a hologram, and when cast again the champ and the hologram will both make a new hologram, that means there will be max 4 exactly the same looking characters on the field at the same time.
I hope u got the idea.
The alternation of that was that the ulti was some sort of rockets, that had different effects (it would be choosable like TF's
Pick A Card) and one of the options would be to launch a rocket that would stay howering in the air projecting a hologram under it (the champ would create a holographic rocket on top of themselves to look like the copy)
Ideas for the other rockets are probably not possible but they are ideas and they might create new ideas
like the rocket that hacks in to the other machines' systems sothe pilot could control them. (the closest to this effect I think of the fear effect)
For the appearance, what I really want is that the appearance of the robot is not like Rumble's
, I don't want this champions Classick skin to look like his robot had been made in a junkyard out of rust and scrapmetal. I cant and I don't want to decide the colour of the vehicle, but I want it to have some certain colour theme (in al skins in the future) as if it was an advanced technology made for a purpose by professionals. (Rumble's robot is made out of Junk, this champions robot would have been made with care by the piloting yordle)
For the lore, it should be mentioned thet the pilotig yordle was inspired by Rumble. (though I think he would stil be more of a rivel to rumble, even though I don't want this champ to be nothing else than humble in what he does)
(these following thigns are only ideas and I do not keep them as the important features, I really leave q w and e all for you, as well as the overall appearance.)
The Robot could have a round shield (if it's going to have a shield I demand it to be round), the shield could look like a clock: it would stop enemy projectiles and slow and/or stun enemies before it depending on the distance to the shield. that would mean the champion would be time related.
I have bee thinking about Yasuo's
w wind wall and Braum's
E Unbreakable, and I wouldn't want this shield to mimic either of those too much so I developed some ideas for that too:
- the champion would not move during the shield is active -the champion can move and the shield faces where the champion is facing I have so many alternations for the shield idea but they take too much time to explain
the champion could hol in the other hand either a sword or gun -the gun would be so that when used the ability, the gun would charge ¤ If the champion is time related, the gun would charge on three levels
- The shot does a lot of damage, no special effects
- The shot does less damage and applies slowed
- The shot does the least damage and applies stun
¤ If the champion is not time related, the gun would charge on two or three levels and the damage would increase based on the charge level.
The ability would start charging when chosen like Xerath's
q but would still be completely aimable: others can see the ability is charging but the player can still decide where to shoot.
I think that was pretty much all. **The most important thing are
- The champion is yordle
- The yordle pilots a robot
- The passive - ejection seat
- The ultimate ability creates holograms and these features I want in to the same single champion**
Tell me if something was left unclear and if there are any good ideas. (I would also like to know if you are taking any of them under your consideration)
PS. it could be the size of Nautilus
if not bigger, the robot armour I mean.
