UPDATE november/01/14: I will remake abilities later putting together and developing your ideas :D

1st change: will improve the range of "Team Attack" 2nd change: will make "W" ability an attack with the same range of "Team Attack" but with "X" directional attacks, where "X" is the number of Hydra's heads obviously :)

Just sayin', the hydra heads in the sketches look pretty uhh... penisy

I think a hydra would be an amazing addition to League (thinking about doing a concept about one myself), I love how the images tell the kit!

Wonderful concept, the drawings really help you actually envision the champion.

I would buy this champ in a heart beat.

the passive seems really wonky but i love the concept of a hydra(NOT VOID RELATED!)so here's my suggestion

hydran immortality-hydra starts the game with 7 heads but whenever he takes 15% of his max health worth of damage within 8 second's a head gets decapitated but will regrow after (X amount of time i dunno what would be fair) regaining 5% of his max health back

Abilities are a bit OP considering that people would just abuse the lack of health and purposely nearly kill themselves for more heads in order to get easy enemy kills. Besides that, the champion itself looks really nice.

If I might make a couple of suggestions based on what I perceive as the identity... (this is awesome dude. I would play the crap outta this guy.)

Passive: I would probably make one head deal 75% AD, and all other heads deal 12.5% AD per head so you're still going for that choice of extra damage (up to 150%) or being safe.

W: It seems like this is the bruiser version of Kog'Maw's W. What if it was a toggle between attacking different targets with each head (default) and attacking one target with all? (I'd make the Q then a super attack, with a kickass animation and a lot more damage. Also Runaan's wouldn't work for all heads, just the main--that'd be OP.)

This is an awesome champion design, and I normally ignore a lot of concepts. Well done.

Yes, I would love a hydra Champion in League. Perhaps it can come from Mount Targon, seeing how that area has a Greco-Roman influence going on there.

The model you made looks really cool and definitely has a unique take on the hydra. I can't help but find the skeletal body to be more insect-like, which makes me think of the Void in this game. Or maybe it takes inspiration from the Lernaean Hydra when a crab was summoned to help it fight Hercules...?

I'll be honest though when I say I feel a bit indifferent about the abilities. The passive definitely captures the feel of a hydra and the ult seems pretty cool, but the other ones feel a bit underwhelming (at least compared to most Champions released nowadays). They're not necessarily bad, but they don't seem like they're that fun or interactive to play with. I think there can be more of a push to make this guy's basic abilities truly remarkable.

And what would you intend for this guy's role to be? Ranged-fighter? AD-caster? Mid-ranged marksman?

I love the effort you put into this, and the only real problem I have with this Champion is that it's not in the game. XD League's long-overdue for a hydra, and your concept is just too awesome to ignore.

Cool concept! I love it, League needs more champs that are different!

Sounds good.

The real question is, would item 3074 be it's core item?

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going...

Nice! I also have a hyrda like concept stored away in my archive, i never liked the kit i came up with so i have yet to release it. It is for sure an interesting idea for a champion so maybe ill come back to it one day.

Why not have the hydra 4 legged and have the three heads in a cone in front and have it spread like ashes arrows? It looks like a crab that's rotting at the moment.

is that penis

Could he have health costs instead of mana costs to his abilities. It seems pretty weird when a Hydra is running away while dying and keeps growing heads.

ill just say this "Hail Hydra" sorry just had to say it
