Versatile 'Hacker' Champ that Steals Abilities

GeekRekt··4 votes·969 views

Champion Name: Anonymous (Yes this is the literal name idea for the champ)

Class: Support/Mage

Damage Type: Magic Damage

Melee Attack Range

Appearance and Lore: Girl yordle with a tech like theme, something along the lines of the project skins but for a yordle. Possibly a cross between tech from Hermidinger and the mind of a girl yordle. Perhaps a past love interest of Hermidinger who would not follow him to Piltover and mysteriously vanished after he moved there. No one knows her name, or her story, that's why she's called Anonymous. She is mostly robotic and cold in nature with an emotional soft spot for other 'robots' and tech.

Abilities:

Passive: 'MALWARE' Anonymous's basic attacks apply stacks of malware which steal the target's attack speed and the target's damage by 2% per stack when the target is attacking her or an ally. Max 10 stacks. Stacks last for 5 seconds and the duration is refreshed with each application of malware. Anonymous must have at least 5 stacks of malware on target enemy champion to use Mind Hack on them.

Q: 'REWIRE' CD: 18/15/12/10/8 seconds Cast Range:700 Mana Cost:80 Passive: Stores 5/8/10/15/18% damage taken. This is not damage mitigation, the damage is still dealt directly to Anonymous as it normally would (not active while on cool down) Max Damage Stored: 50/75/100% your missing health (levels 1/6/12). Active: On-Ally: Heals for 25/35/75/85/100% the amount of damage stored On-Self: Heals for 25/35/45/55/65% the amount of damage stored On-Enemy or Jungle Creature: Deals 55/65/75/85/100% damage stored to target as 50% true damage and 50% magic damage Healing and damage on the active scales with 20% AP.

W: 'BACK DOOR' CD: 30/25/18/15/12 seconds Range:300/350/400/450/500 Mana Cost:40 Scans the area around for traps, wards, and invisible/camouflaged champs granting true sight of enemy champs for 3/5/8/10/12 seconds and slows them by 15/18/20/25/30% for 3 seconds but does not make them targetable. Grants vision of enemy wards and traps for 3/5/8/10/12 seconds, can hack enemy wards to grant vision for her team with 1 basic attack, can disable traps with basic attacks or can walk over traps without triggering them while they are visible.

E: 'OVERLOAD' CD: 15/12/10/8/5 Range: 1000 Mana Cost:55 Passive: Closest ally champion within range also applies stacks of malware to enemy champions with every 3rd basic attack. Active: Closest ally champion within range applies stacks of malware with each basic attack and also steal 2/5/7/10/12% of target's attack speed and damage when the target is attacking her or her allies (% for this ability is not per stack, it is a flat percentage)

R: 'MIND HACK' CD:90 seconds Range:500/575/650 After at least 5 stacks of Malware are applied to an enemy champion Anonymous may tether to that target enemy champ if within range. If the target enemy champ stays within the range for 3 second Anonymous steals an ability, roots the enemy champ for 2/2.5/3 seconds, and deals 100 (+50% AP) magic damage on root. Each champion will give 1 of their 3 basic abilities but not their ultimate. For example, Lux would ONLY give her stun, Thresh would ONLY give his lantern, Morgana would ONLY give her AOE Damage, etc. The ability taken will take the place of Anonymous's ultimate and will have the same CD, damage type, damage scaling, mana cost, and duration as the ability when it was stolen. Further changes to the stats of the ability by the original champ will not be applied to the stolen ability unless Mind Hack is used again. After 90 second Anonymous looses the stolen ability and her ultimate becomes Mind Hack Again. Mind Hack's CD is not affected by CDR.

My thoughts: I feel this champ would play well Top, Jungle, or Support. She would thrive as support as her E is useless unless an ally is nearby, her healing potential is something that could counter Sona's sustain, and her vision capabilities could counter Teemo Jhin traps as well as Twitch Evelynn Rengar Shaco invisibility. However, because she is able to heal herself and not just allies I believe she would be viable as a Jungle or Top lane. Top lane is pretty self explanitory, she has sustain and harass potential that would keep most tanks back., especially with her Q dealing 50% true damage. As for Jungle, her W can help with slippery Jungle champions and really help her team with vision by turning enemy wards against them. Additionally, when going for a gank she can activate her E to get her stacks off quicker and debuff the enemy mid laner while you take them down and steal an ability in the process. With her ultimate she can adjust to counter certain champs by stealing a different ability from each enemy. If you want more damage then steal an ability from the ADC, for more CC steal it from the support, for more tankiness steal it from the top laner, etc. etc. I know this champion concept is complex and I don't know if the coding is even possible but I really like the idea of a champ who can steal others abilities. Let me know what you guys think. Excited to hear feedback! [slayer-jinx-wink]

Interesting concept but I was thinking more of a hacker champion who would hack the enemy player's hud. Like sealing off one of their abilities, disabling items, maybe even block off their screen (Then again, something like that would make it OP)

Yes that would be a bit OP. I was thinking about a hack that disabled abilities for a duration but I feel like silences already have that covered. I like where you are going with the idea, though as Mordepool mentioned below something that advanced would have a hard time finding a proper place in Rune Terra.

Go play sombra in Overwatch. Lol is Fantasy not sci-fi

Then what do you call the project skins or Mecha Aatrox skin, or freakin blitz crank hahahaha

Mordepool2 votes

Non cannon alternate universes. And blitzcrank is an obvious rip off of Robo from Chrono trigger. A very compelling character once he grabs you it's hard to let go

Curious if you actually read anything besides the title... If not then Thank you for your uneducated opinion. If so I'm curious to know what exactly it is you don't like. I also made a few changes to make her basic abilities a little more simple after getting feedback from fellow players. If you don't want to take the time to read then again... Thank you foryour uneducated opinion.[slayer-jinx-wink]

Her W hacking ward thing is going to be given to all champions during the next big update. Might want to Rework that ability altogether.

The Hacking Thematic requires a certain sci-fi (star wars) themed world or cyberpunk setting. The prevailing theme of the hi-technology world allows for this Power Fantasy "The Hacker" to exist.

Strip that setting away and suddenly its range of influence is diminished to nothing.

"The hacker" placed in a prehistoric themed setting doesn't work.

Riots writers have integrated sci-fi into Rune Terra in a way that all Hextech items are unique one of a kind. sold on the Black Market to Kings/Brawlers at outrageous sums. the level of Rarity Riot has intended for its technology dimishes your champions field of influence within the World Drastically.

For example if any ability worked on Gnar it would be thematically inappropriate. The Champion could work just not in this world.

But that's just my opinion

Ok, I understand what you mean now. I was thinking more along the lines of 'tech' similar to what is seen in Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild but I can see how my wording would lead you to believe otherwise. I wish I could draw what I mean but my art skills don't go that far. I guess what I meant for her to look like is more of a golem not a robot. Like a dark statue with veins of glowing color around her body and I wanted her to be smaller which is why I suggested making her a yordle or yordle-like. I didn't think it was that far fetched to have a scientist as intelligent as they portray Heimerdinger to find or develop tech like this. Additionally, Riot has already used the idea of crossing 'humans' with technology such as with Orianna and Viktor so I didn't think the idea was too out of their realm of advancement. I can see how the term 'hacker' would throw you off but that was poor word choice on my part. Nevertheless I will read more lore and see if I can find a better spot for her in Rune Terra.

I also intended for her to be a melee mage with range similar to that of Aatrox which I didn't specify above.

As for her W, are you talking about the true sight of invisible/camouflaged champs, the 'hacking' of enemy wards, or being able to walk over traps without triggering them? I thought they were going to bring an item that would give you true sight of invisible champs but not them champions themselves having this ability. If it's just an item and it doesn't allow you to 'hack' wards or walk over enemy traps then I think it would still be a valuable item in her kit but I will look at it again and see if something would work better. If you have any suggestions as to what you would like to see or what you think would work with her kit please let me know.

This is my first run through with the idea and I appreciate the feedback, I will be making adjustments as I get more suggestions.

Runes patch they plan on introducing zombie wards if you kill an enemy ward you gain the vision from that ward for a certain amount of time. As for the Champion I definitely think the Theme could work in Rune Terra but not necessarily as presented.

Oriana is also 100% robot her personality is modeled after the inventors dead daughter.

Thing with Yordles is they are magical creatures not usually technology driven Hiemerdinger is a unique case among Yordles I'm not saying Victor wouldn't graft/enhance a yordle to save it's life making the Champion you want. But that's not my call to make backstory.

Really excited about the new runes then ! In Orianna's lore it states "Orianna is a technical marvel comprised entirely of clockwork, but it was not always so - she was once a girl of flesh and blood. As a young child in Piltover, Orianna fell ill, and her dying organs were replaced with elaborate prosthetics until she became the first fully mechanized person." If you go to the http://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/champion/orianna/. But if you look at http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/orianna/ then it says the story you gave. So IDK which is the most updated one, stories change over time.

Nice idea for the backstory! Do you mind if I run with it? Story writing is my strong point.

Hit me up for ideas any time.

This is a really cool idea but how does the ult determine what ability to steal? The last one used by the hacked champ? I guess you need to purchase attack speed too in order to get stacks if you are solo laning.

GeekRekt1 votes

Yes attack speed would be a viable option, something like item 3115 would be valuable to her build for solo lane or jungle.

As for her Ult, the ability she steals would be one set ability per champion, it would never change no matter how many times you used your hack on them. I think it would work better this way so you can plan who you want to hack, instead of it being random. If it were random I think it would be too inconsistent for her to be viable. Also, keep in mind that even though she is a mage and her 3 main abilities stack off AP, the ability she steals will have the same scaling as the original one.

So let's say you 'Mind Hack' Varus and you get his 'E' Hail of Arrows. This stacks off of 60% bonus AD so you would have to adjust your build accordingly to make this ability worth while. Items like item 3022 would be viable on her in these cases since you need health on her to help max out her 'Q' capabilities. I like the idea of being able to deal both AD and AP so you aren't completely shut down as a mage when they build items like item 3065 or item 3001.
