Borin, The Grimknight

Hello and welcome to my Idea of a champion kit.

Here is Borin, The Grimknight

LORE:

As Borin walked through the town square, being greeted from each passing shopkeeper.

"Hello Borin", went the breadmakers.

"Greetings Borin", spoke the tailors as they waved.

"How do you do?", questioned the barkeeper.

Borin, not wanting to seem overbearing, replied "good, you sir?" nailed it, thought Borin

"I need someone to clear out some Bandits before they find us again, I swear they are planning to attack us", whispered the barkeeper "I feel there are spies among us!!"

"Aye, I'll round up the Militia"

Borin's legs were tired at the end of the day, the whole village was with one man in the Militia now. Borin was that man. Borin had hid among the trees, hoping that he could spring a trap against possible scouts.

Rustling, Scratching, Drip, Drop, Drip, Drop.

The puddle!!, thought Borin, It must be them. Borin lept down from his perch and pointed his sword in a brutal manner towards the noise, he had shout at the top of his lungs, "BANDIT SCUM, SHOW YOURSELF BEFORE I SMITE YOU"

Murmurs circled Borin, leaving him drowning in the noise, The trees themselves shake with fear, Borin thought.

"GET HIM" heard Borin, as he was assaulted with arrows and pelted with stones.

Three bandits flanked all around Borin.

Borin swiped to the left and his sword catches a foot. Borin pulls backwards as the relentless assault of arrows pelts him continuously. Borin charges at a second Bandit. His sword drives deep, leaving a gash in the abdomen. Borin kicks the bandit off of his sword and turns toward the third. The third bandit Raised his shield to block Borin's swipe. A Continuous swarm of Swipes wear down the shield until... CRACK the shield broke, leaving the bandit frozen with fear on the ground as he cried, " M-MONSTER, IT'S A MONSTER!!! RETREAT EVE-" He was cut off when Borin had decided that this head no longer needed a body.

"My name, is Borin. Leave before I want... YOUR BLOOD", Borin spoke in a deep voice and pretended to lick the blood off of his sword.

"He's bluffing, Take him out", spoke what must have been a leader at the time.

Borin had slashed his own arm open, allowing blood to flow freely onto the ground before having shouted two words...

"Dark NEBULA"

The next morning, there were scorch marks on all the bandit's bodies but no sign of any fires.

"I will not be enough to protect the village forever", pleaded Borin

The Chieftain sighed, "Fine, I... you may... find hired help"

Borin left that day, in hopes that he could find someone strong enough to help his village.


Power fantasy: I was aiming for Borin to feel like a "Dark knight" where you want to force enemies to fight you for longer periods of time and risk your life to destroy your enemies as fast as possible.

Class:Skirmisher

SubClass: Duelist

Abilities:

Passive: When above 40% max health, Borin's abilities cost health and deal 1-5%(based on levels 1-18) max health in physical damage. When above 80% max health, Borin applies that damage as an AOE circle around each of the targets hit by his moves. AOE damage halved against minions.

Q: Scrape of Darkness Borin slashes with his sword in a cone(as long as Cho'gath's cone but as thin as Xin Zhao's W) dealing 30/45/60/75/90 + 15% total AD and reducing armor by 10% for 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 seconds. Health cost: 90 Cooldown: 5 seconds

W: Bloody stab P: If Borin takes/deals 10/9/8/7/6 instances of champion damage the cooldown on this move is reset

Borin charges forward, stabbing, stunning for 0.5 seconds and sets champs hit next to Borin's right/left side(whichever is closer to the side hit. If exactly in the middle set to the right) and deals 50/60/70/80/90/100/110 + 30% AD as physical damage over 9/8/7/6/5 seconds Health cost: 60/70/80/90/100 CD: 15 seconds

E: Equalize strike Borin targets an enemy(within melee range) and deals 15/25/35/45/55 + 15/20/25/30/45% of missing health to one target Health cost(applies to the missing health damage) 50

R: Nebula of Darkness P: 50/100/200% of Bonus AD is converted to health(At levels 6/9/13)

Borin charges dark energies and explodes to deal 140/220/380 +10/30/50% of missing health + 40/50/70% of AD physical damage Health cost:(Applies to the missing health damage) 100/200/250 Cooldown: 150/130/95

So there's the kit, please give your thoughts below in the comments.

Here are a few reference pictures to what Borin would look like: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131224033242/finalfantasy/images/3/3f/BDPB_Dark_Knight.jpg

Something like a mix of those two(Not the swords but the Armor part)

Nice one, but if you dont mind, I would put up some objections. Q, W are good and balanced. Passive, E and ult do way too much mising hp damage, I mean, cutting it to half would maybe do. I would play him as full tank, and using some aoe burst mage like Oriana, we would be unstoppable.

Passive: Reduce its max (on level 18) to 5%, and instead increase your Hp for 200% of your bonus AD (so players wont just go full tank)

E I would set dmg of E to: 35/65/95/125/155 + 10/15/20/25/30% of missing health, and heal you for 20/27.5/35/42.5/50+10% missing hp on takedowns (half on minions)

R: Its sounds like Aoe, from name... but you did not state it. IF it is Aoe, cut down missing hp dmg 4 times. This could very well delete enemies in one hit (if you mean your missing hp).

Also, one thing I think he lacks is some sort of protection, Anyways, nice and original, one up for you!

I like these changes. I'll be implementing them soon.

Also I need to fix that R description >.>

One of the things that I purposely gave Borin was a lack of protection because the Grimknight power fantasy is one of "Hey you took me down BUT I take you with me" as an inheret weakness that gives him counterplay.

Also I'm gonna have the E damage lowered with a flat health return because Borin is supposed to, at any point in the game, be like a giant risk waiting to happen.

Enemies of Borin get to decide "Should we aim for him first or wait until later" but have it mean more than just ignoring him due to his nature of taking damage and effectively dishing it back out at a giant risk.

Definitely nerfing stuff tho, no worries there.

Thank you for your help :D

No problem. I was making champ ideas for some time now, but never posted them. The fact I would give him just a bit for protection is current meta. Huge amounts of CC and burst damage. Maybe if his W worked as cleanse?

MuffledGarbage1 votes

That'd be a bit much for one move...

Cleanse, Dash, Damage AND can have it's cooldown reset from taking/dealing damage?

I'd rather leave it as at most, three major points where he can be super effective.

Now about giving Borin defense.

Well about that, Borin wants to take damage in order to deal more damage and as a result, having some sort of protective buff kinda does the opposite...

Anyways those are generally my thoughts on that stuff

Agreed, it would probably be too much for one skill. Maybe instead of these give him passive tenacity? Like Garen used to have. Im just worried that in most matches, he wont have opportunity to fight cuz of CC.

Borin's rune setups could look drastically different and I could see a lot of different ways to play him.

Going for a Press the attack, Tenacity boosting rune(it's barely taken as far as I know), Triumph, and Coup De grace.

The strategy here would be to bait an opponent in by using basic attacks until low health and then unloading the abilities all at once to throw the opponent off guard.

The Tenacity boosting rune... I don't honestly know why it's barely taken...

it might be because there aren't many options for tanks/bruisers in the precision tree and that might lead to it being not taken much but that's a different story altogether

I would see him as jungler, one who goes from behind and takes agro. Ofcourse he could be played sort in a way as damage wukong or hecarim.

MuffledGarbage1 votes

I mean for all I know he could make a good support due to most of his damage being missing% health which allows him to build full defense at the cost of not a lot of CC for the sake of a lot of damage.

EDIT: Heh me might be a weird good midlaner due to the Passive AOE and how Borin kinda punishes poking him in a way while rewarding all-ins now that I think about it.

PrimalOppression1 votes

Agreed, but there is one thing that seriously need change, Name :D Borin====Boring Cant deny that, or for biology students, Bohring. I know names are hardest part but :P
