- Mihai, the Crusader - Champion concept from old contest

http://i.imgur.com/qcKMJwr.png Hi! It's not really old, as it was 2 months ago, but I would like to revive this idea. I really would like to know your opinions on developing his skills or how to remake them, because there are some problems with the balance and mechanics, my main purpose was actually to make a character with personality, visuals and lore like his while I lack ideas about his gameplay. I'm inspired by classic videogame Castlevania. I thought that due to the fact that we have obvious references like Alien vs Predator (Kha'Zix vs Rengar), many DC-like characters (Zyra, Shaco, Singed, Vayne, others), Vladimir needs some life to his lonely existence and lore. Even though he's not a vampire but a blood mage, I've made it fit the game's universe. Primary role: Jungle Secondary: Fighter Stats: Health: 430 (+80 per level) Health Regen: 6 (+0.6 per level) Attack Damage: 55 (+3.2 per level) Attack Speed: 0.658 (+2.5% per level) Movement Speed: 350 Armor: 20 (+3.4 per level) Magic Resist: 30 (+1.25 per level) Energy 200: Similar to Ionian characters energy (Mihai's faith). Energy regen: 50 Range: 450

Lore: Born in the village near Demacia, he’s one of the last remnants of his kind – beast slayers, demon annihilators and prophets, praying for the souls of mankind. Some of his ancestors died in a great war in the lands of former Kalamanda, but most of them died in the ancient opposition between light and darkness. Trained to the cracks of bones, each member of his family was raised as true warriors of light, clerics, and defenders of weak destitute. In the age of young man, he, his father and his people decided to assault grand temple in the mountains of Noxus, which, according to dark rumors, was full of evil presence. The haunted temple, however, wasn’t so affable. The moment his father stepped into the evil domain, they heard a dry laugh coming out from nowhere. The only thing his father succeeded to say was – “Run, son”, as his body collapsed as bouquet of roses, showing all the crimson grim beauty of his anatomy. Screaming in the pain and fear, villagers, dropping down the torches and pikes, ran away, dying one by one. Fountains of blood have arranged a fearsome carnival, as the young Mihai, paralyzed by these pictures, cried bloody tears. The blood mage appears with a satisfied smile. He looks at the young man and snatches one of his eyes, but lets him survive. “Your eyeballs have seen too much for a pitiful creature like you: one of them is more than enough. Run, as your father has told you, and care that one eye of yours. You will need it as you’ll seek for revenge. I’ll let you see me one more time, and then it’s gonna be your last”. Years later, Mihai finds out that his most hatred enemy has joined the League of Legends. Not keeping him to wait, he instantly rushes into the tournament. Friends: Rivals:
