This spell thief champion will be so badass even Rubick would be jealous

But first these three themes MUST be true in order for the theme to work in League:

  1. The Champion must be either from Zaun or Piltover. I prefer Piltover. He'd have a technomage theme similar to Viktor but only tangentially as his spells would be more utilitarian and basic like a shrapnel bomb as opposed to LAZER ARM OF DEATH.
  2. The champion's main weapon should be knives/knife; it's concealed, dark, and iconic to psycho. The Champion copies his targets' ultimates by cutting out a piece of them and using the DNA to forge a mask (similar to looking at a friendly disguised Spy).
  3. The guy is a psychopath. Not kinda, sorta crazy in the lovable way. No. The guy opens his closet and strokes his collection of the facsimiles of faces his machine has made. All of them. Individually. For an hour. He has a picture of Jinx on his dresser with love notes scrawled on the side, and when he comes home after a hard day of murderwork, he caresses the picture and kisses it, then licks it and swears he will capture that beautiful face of hers. That kind of insane.

Now, mechanically, he needs a versatile kit that has little synergy with itself i.e. by himself he poses little threat but with a team he can perform virtually any role with virtually any items. So:

  1. passive needs to be something that does not interact well with QWE but is a good innate for an ultimate pair. Since he is obsessed with Jinx, I suggest something in the same vein as Let's Get Excited! but with a different niche (less or no snowball but still referencing the theme.)
  2. QWE can't interact with each other well but when comboed with R, do amazingly well. One example would be to have Q be a linear passthrough skillshot that functions as waveclear while W would be a single target vulnerability spell and E would be some form of CC that is only beneficial when the champion is trying to disengage and not when trying to follow up.
  3. His base stats would need to be crap since he could potentially use Malphite's ult one fight then use Ahri's ult the next fight because the circumstances dictate the champion should use a different ult. That kind of utility would mean that the champion, if they built carry or assassin, would have to be a late game champion.
  4. He steals his allies' ults. Just for a short time. He steals the ult, ally cannot use their ult right now. He uses their ult, and their ult has a small (5-10 second) waiting period before they can use it. This prevents you from being able to chain the exact same ult too quickly. The champion can steal an ult that is on cooldown, but it freezes the cooldown for the duration of the wait time (5-10 sec).
  5. He steals allies' ults only. This means the enemy doesn't have to worry about picking a champion whose ult would also screw over their own team.
  6. The ult does not have to have a use in a 1v1 situation other than POTENTIALLY passive stats. He's not supposed to be able to duel; he has to screw over work together with his team

And one last thing: he needs an interaction where when he kills an enemy under certain conditions, they burst out into laughter while dying. and maybe draw a smiley face on the ground where they died.

Better yet: the death screen of the enemy has a giant smiley face on it until they respawn.

Jean Roush: The Bloody Masquerade

Jean Roush is a master of Techmaturgical surgery he can tun a simple yordle into a full size Noxian commander but, even this pales in comparison to his true research passion...Duplicitous Mimicry... the exact copying of another genetic material transplanted into an other via hextechnology. A field of study that he is the sole expert in and he will never reveal his secrets. the people of Piltover smell foul odors emanating from his lab. Many believe he gets his test subjects from off the street kidnapping them in broad daylight disguised as someone familiar.

STATS Health: 600 (+80 per level) Health Regeneration: 6.92 (+0.55 per level) Attack Damage: 55 (+2.8 per level Attack Speed: 1.25 Movement Speed: 330 Armor: 21 (+3.1 per level) Magic Resist: 25

Passive: Skin Graff
Once every 75 seconds Jean steals the face and ultimate of the closest nearby Ally. Gaining the ult with exactly the same stats as the ally at the time of the swap. Each time an ability other than Jeans ultimate is used his entire kit has a cooldown.

Q: Mask of Truth Jean pusts on the face of truth giving Jean true sight an area in a cone in front of him for 5 seconds but blocking out the rest of his vision additionally Jean may only use his ultimate for the duration of this ability. Cooldown 8/8/7/7/6 seconds Range 1200 units Cone edge width 900 units This cone is visible to enemies and allies and is marked by an outline.

W: Jean-etic Rending Jean throws his scalpel in a line dealing 25/35/45/55/60 + value equal to a random stat from the enemy (including minions/monsters ect.) hit. (i.e. Movement Speed ) attack speed will be counted as a numeral without the decimal. Cooldown 10/9/8/7.5/7 seconds Range 900 units

E: Masquerade Jean will double a random stat for himself and the ally whose ultimate is copped by his passive for 2 seconds. (i.e. Attack Damage )

R: Friendly Face This is where things get tricky ultimates like Jinx's Super Mega Death Rocket are easy to mimic and create a set of permanent stats for but ultimates such as Jayce's and Elise's are where shit gets complicated so this is what I'm doing

If the ultimate coppied is a toggle such as Jayce it will instead take the last ability used by that champion and deal damage of 1.5x the abilities normal output but with 1.5x the cooldown time

If the ultimate coppied is a stat steroid such as Sivir's the ability will be copied. 75 sec

If the ultimate is a target rush such as Rek'Sai's Jean will only be able to chose from the locations available to Rek'Sai. 75 sec

Ultimates that boost other abilities such as Heimerdingers will be replaced with a random boosted ability. 75 sec

Any Questions ask away sincerely TheDirtyMango
