[Champion Concept] P-1108, the Failed Prototype
[VIDEO] ZAC REPRODUCTION TRIAL 1108 RESULT REPORT
ZAUN AMORPHOUS COMBATANT REPRODUCTION TRIAL #1108 WEAPONS LABORATORY EXPERIMENT RESULT REPORT AUGUST 7TH, 15 CLE
This is the closest we've come to success thus far. Our results are finally approaching that of the original. Attempt #1108 at reproducing the Zaun Amorphous Combatant has resulted in a sentient creation. As the 1108th ZAC Prototype, it has been given the designation 'P-1108'.
At creation, P-1108's initial form was that of a pink, gelatinous mass, roughly ten cubic centimeters in volume. Its physiology was completely distributed, possessing no centralized organs or structures of any kind. In addition to locomotion, it was also shown to be capable of sensory perception across its outer membrane, through a mechanism which was, at the time, unknown. With our first round of tests, we attempted to ascertain more about P-1108's physical characteristics.
In order to quantitatively measure P-1108's sensory abilities, we devised a rat maze trial. At each of the maze's four corners, we placed three rats and P-1108, respectively. At the center of the maze was a sample of cheese, treated with a pheromone that P-1108 had responded to in previous tests. Our hypothesis was that P-1108 would locate the cheese sample before the other subjects.
P-1108 displayed no interest in the cheese sample. All three rats were captured and consumed whole.
Following the experiment, P-1108's mass was shown to have increased from 328 grams to 1936 grams, having added the estimated combined mass of the three rats. Further testing confirmed P-1108's ability to add biomass to itself by consuming other lifeforms. We continued to feed animals to P-1108 and monitor its growth.
As its size increased, so did its intelligence It soon began to display the transformative capabilities that we predicted. In one trial, it formed a keratin scythe to puncture its prey, before consuming it whole. In another, it transformed its body into a thick resin to ensnare the live sample, before melting it down with a secreted acid. P-1108's transformations became more imaginative as it increased in size. It is theorized to capable of reforming its body, in part or in whole, to the specifications of any biological material.
Soon, it began to display cunning. During a routine feeding trial, a housecat was introduced into P-1108's containment chamber. The result was unprecedented. P-1108 displayed the ability to reform its entire body into an exact copy of the live sample. The only flaw was the color. P-1108's eyes and fur remained bright pink. For unknown reasons, this seems to be the only pigment that P-1108 can develop.
P-1108 began to mimic the cat's distressed cries. This continued until it began to slowly approach. Once the live sample was in range, P-1108 captured and consumed it as expected."
We soon realized that as P-1108 became more intelligent, it would eventually develop sapience. Our hypothesis was correct. After some time, P-1108 assumed the form of a very young girl, possibly based on the daughter of Dr. ████████. Within three days, it was capable of speech. P-1108's first words were, "I'm hungry."
Following this, we began to use the pronoun 'she' as opposed to 'it' to refer to P-1108. At the time, we had thought that P-1108 had simply developed a desire to be seen as a human. We didn't realize the implications of her new form until it was too late.
It was the same as the cat. P-1108 adopts the forms of those it hunts. A catastrophic containment breach resulted in the loss of seven scientists, as well as the majority of our security staff, before P-1108 could be recaptured.
As a weapon, P-1108 displays astounding capabilities. However, she has proven to be extremely unstable, both mentally and physically. She cannot hold her body together unaided, and must continually consume living creatures to survive. Humans seem to be her preferred meal.
In addition, she exhibits severe psychopathic tendencies, as well as a murderous disposition towards Zaun laboratory staff of all divisions. Were she ever weaponized and deployed, it is highly unlikely that we would be able to safely recover her. Dr. ███████████ has stated that she poses a higher threat to Zaun than any other city.
CONCLUSION: ZAUN AMORPHOUS COMBATANT REPRODUCTION TRIAL #1108 IS A FAILURE. SUBJECT P-1108 SHOULD BE TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY. -Dr. █████████, Zaun Weapons Laboratory, Head of Development
From the waist up, P-1108 appears to be a mostly humanoid girl, around the age of 10 or 12. Her hair is styled into two long twintails, colored bright pink, as are her eyes. Though her hair appears fibrous at first glance, it has a tendency to drip, leaving droplets of an unidentifiable pink liquid. She wears a white straitjacket with the sleeves ripped off at the shoulders - many of the buckles are still visible, though unfastened.
From the waist down, her body takes the form of a pink, highly viscous, syrup-like liquid. Instead of walking, she roils along the ground, leaving behind a trail of pink slime, like a slug.
P-1108 has a highly sadistic disposition, sporting a manic grin whenever prey is nearby. She giggles uncontrollably at the mere thought of eating others, often breaking out into full-fledged maniacal laughter when finally devouring a target. For all her derangements, though, the core of her personality is childlike, curious and delusional.
When launching basic attacks against a target, she forms her arm into various solid weapons made of keratin, the same material that makes up human fingernails. Said weapons are beige-colored, and range from heavy axes and swords to fibrous whips. After the attack, the weapon reverts back into her normal arm.

#Passive: Digestion P-1108 uses her own biomass as a cost for her skills, and due to this, her body wears down over time. In order to replenish it, she must consume other living beings. If P-1108 stands over the corpse of a fallen champion, ally or enemy, she will melt down and digest the body. Doing so destroys the corpse, heals her for 10% of her maximum health, and adds one stack of Sustenance.
For each stack of Sustenance, P-1108 regenerates 1% of her missing health every 5 seconds. Sustenance stacks up to 10 times (10% of missing health every 5 seconds), and ALL stacks are lost upon death. In addition, one stack is lost every five minutes.
P-1108's size increases according to her Sustenance stacks. Her hitbox increases accordingly.
Easter Egg - On the Howling Abyss, P-1108 can consume Poros in addition to corpses, restoring no health and granting no Sustenance. A Poro that has eaten a Poro-Snack is immune. A mustachioed Poro will attack P-1108 for 1 damage.
#Q: Aqua Regia P-1108 can reform part of her body into a highly corrosive acid, throwing a glob of it as a dangerous missile. The projectile comes from her own body, costing her biomass to create and launch. Her acid not only burns the target over time, but corrodes their defenses, causing them to take additional damage from herself and her allies.
Targeting: Linear Passthrough Skillshot Targets Allowed: Enemy Champions, Minions, Monsters Range: 600 Missile Speed: 1600 (Equal to Olaf's Q) Cooldown: 10 seconds Cost: 4% / 5% / 6% / 7% / 8% Health Active: Enemies hit by the acid take 10% / 12% / 14% / 16% / 18% (+2% per 100 AP) of their maximum health as magic damage over a period of 4 seconds. During this time, their Armor and Magic Resist are reduced by 12% / 14% / 16% / 18% / 20%.
Against minions and monsters, this ability has a capped total damage of 200 / 240 / 280 / 320 / 360
#W: Coagulate P-1108 leaps high into the air, allowing her gelatinous body to be spread out by the impact upon landing. She transforms into an amorphous blob, able to move at her normal speed, before reforming her normal body. Her size is dependent on her biomass, and the radius of her amorphous form varies with how much she has eaten.
Targeting: Ground Range: 500 Duration: 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 / 3 seconds Cooldown: 14 seconds Cost: 4% / 5% / 6% / 7% / 8% Health Active: P-1108 jumps to a new location, with a short animation delay. Upon arrival, she slams into the ground, melting down into a giant blob and spreading out across a wide area.
For the duration of the skill, the size of P-1108's hitbox is massively increased by an amount which scales based on her Sustenance stacks, allowing her to block movement and intercept skillshots across a wide area. Enemy champions she moves into are pushed away along the edge of her perimeter. Allied champions are not impeded (as with Phantom Dancer or Ghost).
#E: Fibrous Hook P-1108 reforms her arm into a long, tissue-like strand made of collagen, the same material that makes up human ligaments and tendons, tipped with a keratin grappling hook. By throwing it forward, P-1108 hooks into the ground at a large distance. She can then pull herself forward by contracting the collagen strand, colliding with those in her way and knocking them aside. The force of impact becomes greater as P-1108's mass increases, making it more dangerous when her biomass is higher.
Targeting: Linear Skillshot Targets Allowed: Ground Range: 600 / 650 / 700 / 750 / 800 Projectile Speed: 2000 (Equivalent to Mundo's Q) Cooldown: 18 Seconds Cost: 4% / 5% / 6% / 7% / 8% Health Active: P-1108 throws the hook forward in a straight line. The hook latches into the ground after reaching the targeted area, creating a leash between P-1108 and the landing zone. If the leash is broken, or if three seconds pass, The hook disappears and P-1108 is refunded half of the health cost, snapping the collagen strand back to herself and re-assimilating it into her body. While the hook is in the ground, the ability can be activated again. Secondary Active: P-1108 pulls herself at a high speed towards the hook. Any enemies in her path take magic damage equal to 10 / 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 (+30% of AP) (+10% of Current Health) and are knocked aside. P-1108 does not stop upon colliding with an enemy champion, and continues traveling until she reaches the hook.
#Ultimate: Shapeshift P-1108's most powerful ability. By analyzing a target's body, she can reform her own biological material to emulate another's structure. Even if the target is a construct, or otherwise inorganic, she can approximate its physical properties with biological replacements of inorganic material. P-1108's resulting body is always pink, and mimics the phrases or vocal emanations of the target with a distorted voice.
Targeting: Single Target Targets Allowed: Ally or Enemy Champions Range: 1200 Duration: 7 / 11 / 15 Seconds Cooldown: 120 / 105 / 90 Seconds Cost: None Active: P-1108 assumes the form of another champion. Her model is replaced with the target champion's model, but their textures are replaced with a pink, smooth one. She also uses all of their voice samples, with the audio distorted.
For the duration of the ability, P-1108's Q, W, and E skills are overwritten with those of the targeted enemy. Her newly gained skills are off-cooldown, but the cooldowns of her original skills will tick down in the background during this time. She retains her own stats, items, and passive. While shapeshifted, she loses 1% of her maximum health per second. Using the ability again will cancel it, and return her to her normal form.
I'm not a failure.
I was locked up for years. They only brought out into bigger containment chambers when they wanted to do some sort of test on me. I never had anyone on my side. My 'parents' were men in masks and lab coats that electrocuted me until I changed into whatever they wanted.
I saw him, when they abducted his parents. When he raided the laboratory. I watched through the pane of one-way glass, when they all hugged each other. All three of them were smiling.
Why does he get to have a mother and father? Why does he get to have a home? Why does he get to have a name?
It's not fair.
Once he chased all the scientists away, there was no one there to keep me locked up. I didn't know what the sun looked like until then. I finally got to see what he sees every day.
The League of Legends wasn't hard to find. It was where he was. Where he puts on that big, goofy grin, and flaunts his happy life right in front of me.
I'M GOING TO EAT HIM. I'M GOING TO LISTEN TO HIM BEG AND SCREAM FOR MERCY. I'M GOING TO MELT HIM DOWN TO NOTHING. SLOWLY. PAINFULLY. PIECE BY PIECE. I'LL DEVOUR EVERY LAST BLOBBY CHUNK.
And then I'll take his place.
When I go back to his parents, they won't know it's me. They'll give me hugs, and care about me, and we can all smile together.
I'll have a mother and father. I'll have a home. I'll have a name.
I'll be Zac.
Concept: P is hungry. You are food.
Playing P Your passive is both your strongest element and your defining mechanic.
Health management is crucial. P-1108 plays a high-risk, high-reward game, paying out health in large chunks in hopes of gaining precious stacks to win it back. Your stacks will fade over time. You are always hungry. You have to keep eating.
If you die, you lose ALL of your stacks. This is a blessing to an extent - as a tank, this is what encourages your food to attack you. However, this only remains true if you can eat in the first place.
If you find yourself losing stacks often, consider building health regen items, such as Warmog's Armor.
Laning phase: Your Q will corrode your food's armor. If your ADC is in a position to follow up, you can deal good damage this way. Having a good rhythm with your carry will allow you to use your abilities to their maximum potential.
Your W is a game-changing ability, which be used to deny or secure kills. Defensively, you can use it to intercept skillshots across a wide angle. In especially dire straits, you can advance while the carry retreats, forcefully pushing your food away - though this will leave you in a poor situation at the end of things. Offensively, you can jump behind your food and push them towards your allies - but be aware that your pool is not instantaneous, and there is a small window of time where escape skills can be used.
Your E has a shorter range at lower levels, but is still useful as an engage or disengage. Your W can be used to get your carry out of trouble, but your E is what you use to save yourself - or to move behind your food before pushing them forward.
Scoring kills during the laning phase will give you much-needed sustain. You must always keep eating, and playing passively means starvation. Health potions can serve as snacks before the main course.
Teamfight phase: Yasuo, Braum, and Azir create walls. You, on the other hand, are a wall - a literal living wall. Your method of intercepting damage does not reduce it, unfortunately - but you can block a much wider area, and literally push your food around. The duration is short, however, and your food may hold back their fire until you've returned to your normal form.
Your E is your method of entering the fray. Their small, delicious bodies will not stop your advance. If you are separated from your hook, however, you must approach your food by ground. The heavier you are, the more damage you will do. Eat more to gain mass.
Your food has useful abilities. You can emulate these. Choose carefully. A mobile champion will make it easier to pick up your meals. On the other hand, a champion with high utiity value, such as Blitzcrank, Thresh or Singed can aid your allies in preparing your food.
Your allies can also be food, if they fall in combat. Remember this. Everyone is food. Everyone.
Playing against P P-1108 does not fight well on an empty stomach - one untimely death is enough to accomplish this. If she is left alive at the end of a teamfight, however, she can feast on the resulting corpses - six or seven casualties will make her much more difficult to kill next time around. She is not to be ignored.
If you have pushes or pulls, you can zone her away from corpses. Digestion will heal her for 10% of her max HP - denying her a corpse is as good as dealing 10% true damage. If she's able to move, she becomes harder to kill as the fight drags on. Consistent application of Grievous Wounds will neuter both her ridiculous health regen and her Digestion healing - consider Executioner's Calling, or possibly Morellonomicon.
Her W will intercept your skillshots, but its duration is short. Hold your fire until it's over, or try to get your shots in during the opening animation delay.
Her E is vulnerable in many ways. If you can break her leash before she engages, you'll have an opportunity to engage on your own terms. In addition, its damage is based on her current health, so if she's poked down, it'll be less threatening in that respect. Her point of initiation is telegraphed - you can play around this before she pulls herself in.
You'll need to play reactively based on who she copies - her ultimate is very unpredictable. She can't effectively copy damage-oriented champions, and she doesn't gain their ultimates - but she still has options to turn the tide.
Most importantly - do not become food.
