Tentative Champion idea(s)
Sooooooo.... first post on the boards... joy....
Anyways, I've got several ideas for League champions that I would like to get off my chest Because I've been sitting on them soooooooo long. I'm only going to publish one at first and see what the response is like then move on from there.
The first one I'll publish is a void champion idea (I love the void squeee) but I feel like part of the void's character is missing (The actual void, not champion). If the void is meant to consume the world, then why only send in creatures rather than make your own from the world? So i present, ladies and Gentlemen; Zenith, The Void Cursed.
Name:Zenith Height: variable Weight: variable age: Unknown, but estimated to be 55-60 Occupation:Ex-Village elder, current host of void parasite
Zenith is a Top Lane Bruiser whose main objective is to shred opponents to bits while their attacks bounce harmlessly off his scaly hide. This abomination of both man and void-beast is a perfect killing machine made for destruction, he builds off of AD mainly, but has one AP abilities, but we'll cover that more in depth later.
(WARNING: This is the champions lore, if you have no interest in this then move on to the abilities section)
Not all wish to take sides in conflict. Many abhor the shedding of blood for any purpose. But in the tatters following the Ionian Purge not much choice was left. Those who wished to leave conflict and war behind were called cowards, branded and humiliated or murdered for their believes. Those who survived could only run to the last place left to them in the world, The jungles of Kumungu.
A once thriving village lay in ruins at the edge of the jungle. Rain poured down amongst the shredded cottages and mangled corpses. The Noxian soldiers rooted through the remains, hoping something of their quarry remained. "Bah!" The captain spat as the house next to him finally collapsed "There's nothing left here."
"Nothing... Left..."
The legion whirled around in surprise. One of the bodies rose, his face covered in torn cloth and his gaunt figure draped in a hood. He shuffled forward, his gait uneven. "I guess this trip wasn't a complete waste" The captain sighed. "We got one recruit to add"
"Nothing... Left..."
"Sir! There's something else over there!"
"What do you mean?"
As the man shuffled closer the captain saw a larger corpse where the man had lay; a twisted, armored behemoth. "It's been crushed, Sir!"
"Crushed? How?"
"It's skull! It's caved in!"
"Nothing... Left..."
"There's more beasts here too sir!"
The man shuffled to a stop in front of the Captain, his shoulder humped and disfigured.
"What happened here old man?!"
The man's hood fell back.
"May the powers of Noxus protect us" the captain breathed.
The man's face, disfigured by the scaly armor slowly spreading across it, lifted and a glowing yellow eye pierced the stormy night
"Nothing... Left... For you"
(This is more a script for a teaser than lore, but it's how i envisioned revealing him)
ABILITIES Disclaimer I am not good with math or balancing stuff so no real percentages or ratios are included
Passive- Void Plating Armor increased by (insert percentage here) of AD, this does not apply while ability is on cooldown
Q-Savagery
Active- Zentih swipes at targeted enemy, dealing damage and reducing their armor
Ultimate Buff- Zenith swipes twice, dealing double damage, reducing armor 1.5x more and bleeding target
W-Dimensional Rend (Aforementioned AP ability) Active- Zentih rips a hole in reality, which collapses on itself, sending out a burst of energy.
Those touched by the rend itself are slowed immensely
Ultimate Buff- The rend's size is increased, causing an explosion powerful enough to shatter the ground in front of it, making an AOE slow. Damage is also increased.
E- Vengeant Strike- Zenith Active-Charges forward a short distance, dealing damage to the first opponent hit and knocking them back.
Ultimate Buff- Charge distance is greatly increased, doesn't stop at first enemy hit, instead minions are pushed aside while champions are carried forward with Zenith.
R- Embrace the Void Passive- Damage is increased toward those who have been dealt damage by Zenith before (they'll be marked by a purple claw, Mark only lasts six seconds after damage, stacks three times)
Active- Zenith embraces the power of the void and lets the Behemoth fully emerge. While in this state, his passive is increased dramatically and gains more AD, his Size is increased as well and each ability gains an additional effect.
Appearance: Ragged Cape and hood covering face. Ripped tunic and leggings tucked into boots and bracer on right arm. Left arm is permanently stuck in "Behemoth" Form and half of face is "Behemoth" as well. Long, grey beard and hair that hangs out of hood. Shuffling gait due to lopsidedness.
Selection Quote: "I was left with nothing, soon they will have nothing as well"
Movement: "Ever onward" "No rest for me" "Keep moving" "Lets finish this" "If you wish Summoner" "Remember those who fell" "Hmph"
Attack: "Know my wrath" "Face me!" "The void won't finish me yet" "Embrace eternal sleep" "Embrace your demise" "I'll tear you apart" "Rent, limb form limb"
Joke: (Stands straighter and looks at claw, then slashes air) "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I suppose" "The void, a place of nothingness and chaos, but it's decor is very cool" "Sticks and stones can't break my bones, but I have no problem breaking yours!" Taunt: (crouches and rips up ground with claw, then slashes the air) "The void may devour me, but i'll kill you before I'm through!!" "What was my fear, should now be yours!" "Don't fear what you don't understand, use it to kill others!" "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR"
Special Taunt: Malzahar "Malzahar, come see the fruits of your labors, then TEAR YOU APART!!!"
Cho'Gath "The bigger they are, the bigger MY meal will be"
Kassadin "Stay strong my brother, We can end this plight together"
Varus "You use your corruption as your weapon, we'll see how that works out for you"
Observation: A silhouette approach the Institute, a shambling figure with a misshapen outline. The alarms sounded as I sensed a dark presence about it. Our legion of summoners who were on standby for the night readied themselves for battle. The figure stopped at the sound of the bells. It raised it's hands to show it meant no harm, but it's misshapen claw only put us on edge more. Eventually we learned it wished to enter the institute and enter the league.
As it reached the doors it lifted it's head "The greatest enemy lies within" He gave a great laugh, a booming guffaw that echoed throughout the halls. I didn't quite appreciate the irony of the situation at the time. Mean while, he entered the chamber and our evaluation began.
Reflection: I began the examination by entering his mind, but was confused at the the presence of two minds. Two, conflicting minds and personas existing within the same being. I began to probe but a chuckle echoed through the chamber. "I wouldn't go there quite yet summoner, he's not a pleasant neighbor."
"Ah, so you can sense me in your mind?"
"Indeed, I've become quite accustomed to alien presences. I assume you're somehow evaluating my abilities and state of mind?"
"A safe guess"
"Very well, my name is Zenith, I have come here to represent those who are plagued by all and helped by none. I seek to deliver judgment to those who circumvent the laws they have devised. I am here, quite simply, to enforce justice on the Fields of Justice."
His calm and easy nature seemed to make him a poor warrior, but within him I sensed a raging vengeance, loss.
"If I am to truly evaluate you, I must see into your memories."
A pause. Not fear, but consideration. For me. For my safety. I can't help but laugh. "Your consideration is appreciated, but I've seen the worst Runeterra has to offer, and more besides"
"hmph, fair enough"
What opened before my eyes was carnage and death. Massive beasts rampaged amongst corpse heaps and tore down buildings. In front of me knelt Zenith, crying and screaming as he held a woman close to him. His hood had been thrown back and I could see a repulsive growth of armor across his face, a parasite that grew within him. His cries grew louder, his sobs changed to raging anger and roars. His eyes turned a metallic gold. But then I was wrenched from the memory by a roaring from the chambers I had just left.
"NO!" Zenith cried out. My mind was flooded by a torrent of chaos and destruction, of rage and anger.
Of Death
Never before had I experienced such a strong will, wild and untamable, fierce and animalistic. I cried out, the pain becoming too much to bare. Suddenly a stronger presence emerged from the chaos. Zenith. His will dominated the other, forcing it into submission, reigning it back into the dark recesses of his mind. Zenith groaned as he slowly sank to the ground. The guard rushed forward, but I waved them back.
"Welcome to the League, Zenith"
He looked up, a grimace on his face, nodded, and exited the chamber.
PLEASE REVIEW!!!! FEEDBACK!!! ANYTHING!!!
