[Champion Concept] Oba'Zel, The Hollow Mother
I'd love to have a champion that was a little more specialized in traps rather then just using them to supplement the rest of a kit or fighting style. You can't always rely on traps though for survival so I'm think a kit swapping ult would be best for a champ with such a niche.
Oba'Zel is an ap fighter/mage from The Void who hungers for domination of whatever territory she desires or finds herself in through force and help from her "children". She stands upright on powerful insect-like legs with long slender arms and shes covered in heavy looking chitinous armor plates which she opens to release her helpers onto the battlefield.
Stats
Health - 535 (+85 per level) Mana - 375 (+45 per level) Attack Damage - 53 (+3 per level) Attack Speed - .625 (+3% per level) Movement Speed - 340 Health Regeneration - 6.8 (+.85 per level) Mana Regeneration - 6 (+.8 per level) Armor - 26 (+3.6 per level) Magic Resist - 32 (+1.25 per level)
Passive - Mothers Tribute
Oba'Zel regenerates 0.5% of her maximum mana per second for each active Acid Maggot and Unstable Drone on the battlefield
Q - Vicious Cleave/Acid Maggot
Vicious Cleave (Ravager Stance) Cost - None Range - 300 Cooldown - 9/8/7/6/5 seconds
Passive - Oba'Zel gains 30% armor penetration and the cooldown of this ability is reduced by 1 second for every basic attack performed.
Active - Oba'Zel slashes in front of her, dealing 70/130/190/250(+50% ap) physical damage to all enemies in range and slowing them by 15/20/25/30/35% for 0.75 seconds.
Note - Oba'Zel's Q and basics attacks are the only sources of physical damage have for physical damage or reliable damage in her ravager stance so giving her innate armor pen I believe will be fair
Acid Maggot (Assault Stance) Cost - 60/70/80/90/100 Mana and 1 charge Cast Range - 750/800/850/900/950 Trigger Range - 80 Detonation Radius - 260 Sight Radius - 100 Recharge - 18/16/14/12/10 seconds
Oba'Zel stores up to 3 volatile maggots within herself. On her command a maggot will move to target location where, after 1 second, it stealths and burrows into the ground for 5 minutes. Enemy champions, minions, and creeps who come to close will prompt it to detonate, poisoning them for 100/140/180/220/260(+50% ap) magic damage over 4 seconds. This damage can have up to 2 stacks on any one enemy.
Note - Acid Maggots can't burrow into the same location, If you target an occupied location the maggot will instead burrow as close to the target location as possible without overlapping another maggot's trigger range. Maggots won't burrow in permanent terrain. They can only be damaged by champion basic attacks and require 3 hits to destroy.
W - Corrosive Membrane/Unstable Drone
Corrosive Membrane (Ravager Stance) Cost - 80 Mana Cast Range - Self Damage Range - 300 Cooldown - 18 seconds
Oba'Zel covers herself in a hazardous concoction of chemicals, shielding herself from 80/120/160/200/240(+70% ap)(+10% Oba'Zel's maximum health) damage for 10 seconds. Every time the shield is damaged from attacks and abilities it thins and ruptures, dealing the same amount of damage to everyone in range.
Unstable Drone (Assault Stance) Cost - 70 Mana and 1 Charge Cast Range - 800 Trigger Radius - 80 Detonation Radius - 175 Sight Radius - 350 Recharge - 26/23/20/17/14 seconds
Oba'Zel stores up to 3 explosive beetles within herself (being able to add another charge at ranks 3 and 5). She can send a beetle to a target location where, after 1 second, it lands and waits for an enemy champion for up to 5 minutes. If one comes too close the beetle detonates, dealing 80/110/140/170/200(+65% ap) magic damage and slowing all enemies in the detonation radius by 20/30/40/50% for 2 seconds.
Note - The beetle can't be killed, the only way to remove it before the duration ends is to trigger it. Beetles can't overlap other beetle's trigger radius but can overlap maggots.
E - Throw Your Weight/Pheromone Spine
Throw Your Weight (Ravager Stance) Cost - None Cast Range - 700 Damage Radius - 175 Cooldown - 11/10/9/8/7 seconds
Oba'Zel preforms a powerful leap, dealing 60/105/150/195/240(+40% ap)(+5% Oba'Zel's maximum health) magic damage to all enemies in the target location and knocking them up on impact for 0.5 seconds.
Pheromone Spine (Assault Stance) Cost - 80/85/90/95/100 mana Cast Range - 1000 Cooldown - 16/15/14/13/12 seconds
Oba'Zel fires a large spine in a straight line, damaging minions, creeps and the first enemy champion hit for 80/135/190/245/300(+70% ap) magic damage. Upon damaging a champion the spine releases a smell, drawing the attention of up to 5 of the closest Unstable Drones on the map to the target. Each beetle quickly hones in on target, dealing 50% of their original damage and stunning the target 0.5 seconds upon impact, adding up to a 2.5 second stun total.
R - Change Stance Cost - None Self Cast Cooldown - 3 Seconds
Oba'Zel begins the game with this ability (being able to upgrade it at level 6, 11, and 16), switching between a fighting, Ravager Stance and a long ranged, Assault Stance. Oba'Zel begins the game in Ravager Stance.
Change Stance - Ravager
Oba'Zel closes her chitin armor, gaining melee attack range, 30/40/50/60 armor and magic resist and access to her Ravager abilities. Oba'Zel's basic attacks also benefit from 50% of her ability power as physical damage.
Change Stance - Assault
Oba'Zel opens her chitin armor, gaining a basic attack range of 615/630/645/660 and access to her "children" through her Assault abilities. Oba'Zel's basic attacks also become empowered, poisoning targets with each attack for 80% of her ability power over 3 seconds, stacking indefinitely.
Lore
It is unclear for how long Oba'Zel has resided on Valoran, since she decided to claim a large chunk of the unsettled and overlooked marshes of Kaladoun. She could have remained undiscovered indefinitely if not for an unfortunate Noxian scholars expedition into the marshes to study it's ecology.
The sole survivor of the expedition, one of the scholars understudies, stumbled into a Demacian village, his body covered in severe chemical burns and terrified beyond sanity. Before he died of apparent infection and his wounds the most anyone got out of him was rantings of a hulking monstrosity, skulking through the mists of the marsh that had methodically stalked and killed his entire expedition as they fled Kaladoun.
Demacian authorities launched a large scale investigation to assess the unknown threat to the north, wadding deep into the marshes where they finally discovered Oba'Zel. Upon engaging the beast it bellowed a long, bone-chilling howl. Instead of jumping into a melee, to the Demacian's surprise, it opened its chitinous armor, revealing her body to be empty, or so it appeared at first to onlookers. From within it came swarming clouds of various insect-like creatures and from the marsh's muck rose even more, forcing the investigators out of Kaladoun with heavy casualties. It took three more incursions just to reach and finally subdue this living hive. Those that survived their encounters with her dubbed her 'The Hollow Mother', in recognition of the reckless use and wrathful protection of her "children".
