[CHAMPION CONCEPT] Marcellus, The Renegade Commander
Marcellus, The Renegade Commander
Marcellus is a champion who's kit revolves around manipulating ally minions to reach his end, and excels at laning/seiging. Note, this is a champion idea or concept that hasn't been tried before. Let me know if you have any ways to improve this new playstyle/critiques?
#-------------------------------------------------------LORE:-----------------------------------------------------
A seemingly feeble man, given his need of a respirator and bifocals, it would be easy to consider him not a threat. However, what he lacks in terms of physical strength he makes up with master planning. A self-proclaimed tactician, he was raised by a wealthy family in Piltover, who had connections to the aristocratic elites. Upon reaching maturity and seeing the real inner workings of Piltover, he was horrified, and decided to put a stop to it. However, his family did not want to lose their ill-gained wealth, and immediately disowned him.
Marcellus went into hiding, and planned for years on how to expose and end the crime the Piltover aristocrats committed on a daily basis . And one day, after years of hiding in the shadows, he managed to capture his entire family using a small squadron of modified cyborgs, publish their illicit banking records, and gain favor and trust from the peoples of Piltover and Zaun alike. The elites were furious, but Marcellus quickly went into hiding again in order to protect himself. He plans from the shadows, with all the odds stacked against him. But time and time again, he baffles his enemies with strategies that would never work under normal circumstances.
##"Piltover is supposed to be the "good city". I am but the necessary evil. But, given my response from the people, even that is debatable." -Marcellus

I know there are most likely many balance issues with this playstyle. Please, help me highlight them and address them! Coming up with new ways to play is difficult when it comes to balance, so any feedback is appreciated!
