{Champion Concept} Catherine, The Spirit Caller - Google Docs

NOTE I created this in a google doc, so the formatting is pretty awful. Your eyes might hurt after looking at all these blocks of text that are formatted awfully. Because apparently it's really hard to format a post from google doc (Literally this is my 4th time trying to make this post. Ugh. If I accidentally posted this multiple times somehow, you know how.) So I will provide a link to my google drive if you want to view that (there's icons for the skills!). Other than that, give comments on what I can improve on this champion, even if your comments are, "This champion sucks, her Q is op, too much damage, opopopopop." So uhhhh... Link Extra Note: So apparently I cannot format anything correctly and accidentally put the link twice... Please don't send hate mail.

Lore

Lore waiting to be remade to fit new playstyle.

Appearance

Catherine would appear as a small girl/yordle, similar to Annie. With a similar innocent morbid feeling to her. She would skip when she walked and have a similar voice actor to Annie. She would be pale and white-ish, and have a lot in common with Annie (like you couldn’t tell). Her auto attack animation will be a little white flame shooting out. When her ghosts attack with her, they have her flame in the middle of them. Leo is blue, and is the nicest of them all. He likes to keep peace, and tries to keep tranquility. Bowe is pink and is your classical pristine… ghost. She likes to brag about how good she look, and this bow on her head. She is rash and always ready to start a fight. Foe is red and is quiet. He doesn’t talk much, because he likes to observe the fight. He only goes in when he knows he can kill them.

Stats

Health: 385 (+68) Attack Damage: 50 (+3.2) Health Regen: 3.5 (+.4) Attack Speed: 0.625 (+2.06%) Mana: 230 (+72) Armor: 21 (+3) Mana Regen: 8.3 (+0.71) Magic Resist: 30 (+0) Range: 525 Movement Speed: 335

Abilities/Kit

Passive/Innate - Ghost Accompaniment Range: N/A

Catherine has her three ghost buddies, Leo, Bowe, and Foe accompanying her at all times. They all accompany her attacks launching out when she attacks an enemy. When they reach the enemy, they will stick to them for 4 seconds, dealing magic damage. After the four seconds, or after the unit dies, they retreat back to Catherine. Catherine only having 3 ghosts, can only have this effect occurring 3 times. * MAGIC DAMAGE EVERY SECOND: 3 + (2 x Level) + (5% AP)

Q - Ghost Embodiment Range: N/A Cooldown: 12 after losing stealth Cost: 50 Mana

Active: Catherine calls for a ghost to merge with her, causing her to go stealth and reducing her attack range 300 (225). If all three ghosts are preoccupied attacking a unit, she will call over the ghost closest to her. Her next auto attack causes her to launch her ghost with great surprise, causing them to be feared. Upon casting a spell, auto attacking, or having the duration end will cause Catherine to leave stealth and regain her original attack range. * STEALTH / ATTACK RANGE DURATION: 5 / 8 / 11 / 14 / 17 * MAGIC DAMAGE: 40 / 65 / 90 / 115 / 140 (+ 35% AP) * FEAR DURATION: 1 / 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8

W - Shadow Tag Range: 650 Cooldown: 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 Cost: 85 Mana

Active: Catherine grabs the shadow of an enemy for up to 4 seconds, dealing magic damage every second and slowing them, but becoming immobile. If Catherine has been able to keep the enemy in Shadow Tag for 4 seconds, they are rooted for 1.5 seconds. During the time they are rooted, she is able to activate this skill again to teleport to their location. If the enemy were to leave the bind, the skill is interrupted. Catherine can interrupt this skill at any time by moving. * MAGIC DAMAGE EVERY SECOND: 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 (+ 13% AP) * SLOW PERCENTAGE: 15 / 18 / 21 / 24 / 27 %

E - Soul Bombardment Range: 750 Cooldown: 11 Cost: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 Mana

Active: Catherine commands all her ghosts to attack a single target, dealing magic 3 separate times. Each ghost will stick onto the enemy depending on their current health and have differing effects. Leo will stick to them at 80% of their current health, dealing magic damage and slowing them for 4 seconds. Bowe will stick to them at 60% of their current health, dealing magic damage and reducing their magic resistance for 4 seconds. Foe will stick to them at 40% of their current health, dealing massive magic damage. * MAGIC DAMAGE ON IMPACT: 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 (+ 15% AP) * TOTAL IMPACT DAMAGE: 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+ 45% AP) * LEO’S & BOWE’S MAGIC DAMAGE EVERY SECOND: 4 + (3 x Level) + (5% AP) * LEO’S SLOW PERCENTAGE: 12 / 14 / 16 / 18 / 20 % * BOWE’S MAGIC RESISTANCE REDUCE: 8 / 11 / 14 / 17 / 20 % * FOE’S MAGIC DAMAGE: 7 + (5 x Level) + (9% AP)

R - Enter The Darkness Range: 600 Cooldown: 160 / 140 / 120 Cost: 120 Mana

Active: Catherine enters her true form of darkness by having her ghosts cover her up which allows her to become stealthed and gain a movement speed boost for 12 seconds allowing her to go through solid objects such as walls and units. During this time, Catherine loses access to her other skills and attack command. Upon activating this skill again, Catherine becomes unstealthed and loses her buffs and her ghosts will bounce to all nearby enemies, dealing magic damage to each of them. A ghost can not deal damage more than once to an enemy. * MAGIC DAMAGE PER GHOST : 50 / 100 / 150 (+ 30% AP) * BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED: 20 / 25 / 30 %

Tips for playing Catherine

  • Using your stealths in an offensive and defensive manner is key to mastering Catherine, use one of them to get in and assassinate, and the other to leave the fight and position.
  • Catherine has a potential for a lot of CC at low levels, try to have a jungler take advantage of this.
  • Try to avoid as much poke as possible, you have below average health and a very low health regen.
  • Catherine’s ult is a great ability to roam the map, and escape from enemies because of the ability to walk through walls.
  • Grabbing early mobility boots might be worth it to help your team out.
  • Use Soul Bombardment as a finisher, the lower their health, the more surprise damage it can deal to the enemy. Pair this Ignite, and you can finish off enemies with low enough health.

Tips against playing Catherine

  • Catherine has extremely low health regen and health for a champion, use this to your advantage by poking her down in lane, this way if she over commits to killing you, you can kill her.
  • If Catherine leaves your lane, alert your teammates by pinging, her stealth makes for extremely good roams.
  • If you suspect Catherine left your lane, you also might want to play safe yourself until you see her. If she didn’t leave your lane, but instead is sneaking up behind you, she has a high kill potential.
  • When picking a champion or summoner spells, it may help to pick someone that can roam with a similar potential to Catherine, or by taking Teleport.
  • Even though it seems like you’ve escaped be careful on the DOT’s has left on you.

Quotes

Upon Selection “Feel the wrath of the fallen ones!”

Attacking

  • “Do you feel the darkness?”
  • “Bowe this is not the time!’
  • “Foe do something!”
  • “Leo, peace ends no war!”

Movement

  • “Bubblegum, bubblegum, snap the bubbles, next their head.”
  • “mocking voice Have you seen my ghost Fibbers?”
  • “Skipskop, plip plop, next drop pause their heads.”
  • “Bowe, next thing you know it, I will be making you walk”
  • “Foe, are you embarrassed, or just this red?”

Taunt

  • “Now you see me turns invisible now you don’t!”

Joke

  • “Why did Teemo cross over mid lane?”
  • “To get to the other side! You get it? Like ghost and stuff.”

Changes

  • 1/1 - Made changes to her kit as a whole, now she works with power of 3 ghosts. Because of this, I will have to rewrite her Lore. Her new passive works as a DOT that has a limit, her new Q gives her more range, her new W functions as a channel Karma’s E spell, but with more utility. Her new E gives additional buffs the lower their health is, and her ultimate is the same except I lowered the Cooldown to better fit an ultimates role. I rewrote the tips section, as her kit has slightly changed. Updated her appearance. Updated quotes.

Shameless bumping my own post to try and get more people to look at it :9. I would like to know what I did well on, and what should be changed/improved on. I'm always open to suggestions!

Hey its me! Well time to get my sub par reviewing skill a test on the new boards.

So the first thing I'd like to bring up is her W, a non-ultimate Suppression crazy powerful, even if its for one sec, I would suggest making this a one second tick which then becomes a stun after DoT has occurred and to make it seem non threatening make it deal damage 4 times, setting up for damage every .25 seconds out of 1 second.

The concept of Mage with a stealth is interesting which is what I can see you're going for here, but you're using the stealth and the damage mitigation from her ghosts is good but maybe bring down the amount of ghosts she can have at once, 10 is a TON of damage mitigation and it would take too long to have them appear making them a bit unreliable in a team fight and making her impossible to take down. I would go for 4 to 6 at the most.

Her Q is a neat spell but with the stealth forcing her to become a melee attacker for one empowered attack is too much of a risk. perhaps you could rework it to make it so that she fires a ghost that travels in a line and damages everything it hits.

Next I want to look at her E "Swarm of Souls". It has potential BUT you need to make the kind of debuff/CC this spell applies consistent, either a blind, a snare or a stun but not all three dependent on the ghosts, perhaps making it a Snare with a duration that gets more powerful with the number of ghosts used to cast this spell.

Thats I've got right now, Hope these helped.
