Hey there! I got this idea for a while so I decided to post it here. Let me know your thoughts! Paleo is a persistence hunter-gatherer that lives on the Noxus Steppes. He also has the typical look: Long hair, a beard, barely naked. Lore idea: He could have been a soldier from Noxus that decided to return to wilderness and to live on his own. He became a persistence hunter and forgot his name. The Noxians that saw him, call him Paleo. Paleo would be a melee jungler Skirmisher similar to Trundle, Jax, Tryndamere or Udyr (he is fast, but not mobile) with no resource bar. He would be a champion that uses passive-abilities and would have to wait to juggle between them (he can't use them at the same time and would have to wait for the channel before switching abilities).

Abilities:

Passive: Tough- Paleo takes 5% less damage. Paleo has 10% more movement speed, attack speed and slow resistance.

Q: Fight- Paleo channels for 1 second (by warming his arms). He then enters a fighting stance (similar to a boxing stance) where he gains 2/4/6/8/10% damage reduction and 10/20/30/40/50% attack speed.

W: Run- Paleo channels for 1 second (by warming his legs). He then enters a running stance where he gains 10/20/30/40/50 movement speed.

E: Throw- Paleo channels for 1 second (by picking up a rock from the ground). On Paleo next auto-attack, he will throw a rock (range similar to Gangplank Q range). The rock slows the target for 1 second for 60/65/70/75/80%, it will stun jungle monsters for 1 second. After throwing the rock, Paleo will channel again for 1 second to throw another rock.

R: Burn- Paleo channels for 1 second (by picking up a stick and igniting it). On the second cast, Paleo will channel for 1 second and will drop his fire stick on the ground to make a fire. The fire will act as a vision ward that has the range of vision of a blue ward. Enemies can step on the fire to extinguish it, but they will take 5% max health true damage over-time by doing so. On the contrary. Paleo can reignite a fire by clicking on it and channeling again for 1 second. Paleo can place a limited amount of fires on the map and it increase with level (1/2/3). After igniting a fire, Paleo channels again for 1 second (by picking up a stick and igniting it).

Change the channel time for E. The reason is because if there is no benefit to throwing the rock aside from range, the time just removes any possible value because your Q would be able to give you much more dps as well as as sustain in the jungle. Also, the attack speed from Q should go up with level. 50% bonus attack speed is quite a lot, especially for level one, where you could get it to around and over 1.00. It should be something along the lines of 25/30/35/40/50%. This is definitely a good idea though.

My immediate thought was "oh lord that is too many channels". Then I enjoyed how simple his abilities are. I hate having to read a small novella for every frikkin ability on some champs.

In the current state of the game, with so much mobility and CC, having to channel that much will make you an easy target for poke, CC, ganks etc.

If you are set on the channeling, I would recommend adding some tenacity to his kit, to help with his susceptibility in lane.

I do enjoy the thought of a caveman beating the snot out of some champs like Ez, Darius, Xayah, Janna....
