I read somewhere that league want a character concept based on the idea of a swarm so here's my attempt i just hope someone see's this.

Zhakar, the King of the Swarm

"Now it's our turn, to do the squashing"

Overview Primary: Assassin Secondary: Mage Ranged Auto-attacks (around 400-500)

Abilities Passive- Infectious Swarm Infection: When attacking enemies Zhakar will infect enemies with Skaroz larva for 3 seconds (scales as he levels). If Zhakar gets a kill or assist on an infected unit, Zhakar gets a stack of swarm (5 stacks for heroes and large monsters). Zhakar takes 3% reduced damage from infected units. Swarm: Swarm provides Zhakar with a swarm of Skaroz. The size of the swarm increases for each stack of swarm capping at 20 and each stack lasts 3 seconds. The swarm stays within fixed range of Zhakar and follow him if he moves out of the range and he can move the swarm with Alt + Msb1. Enemies within the swarm take physical magic damage equal to 2 (*number of stacks of swarm) + (x% Zhakar's AP)

Q King's Sting ACTIVE: A skill shot that deals X damage (+ ?% AP) to first unit struck and applying on hit effects. Swarm Effect: Zhakar’s swarm will move to and attack any enemy hit by the stinger for o.5/1/1.5/2/3 seconds then return to Zhakar dealing reduced damage to all enemies the swarm passes through.

W Humming Shroud ACTIVE: Zhakar Hardens his exoskeleton increasing his Armor and AD Magic Resist for 2/2.5/4/4.5/5 seconds. Swarm Effect: At 5 stacks of swarm and higher, Zhakar will be enveloped in his swarm becoming untargetable and unseeable (but still able to be damaged) for the duration. If enemies enter the swarm the can see and target Zhakar or if Zhakar is near a ward. (While shrouded the swarm is visible, it works like Akali's, except smaller range, he is able to move with it and he is always at the center)

E Royal Wax ACTIVE: Zhakar spits a blob of wax at a targeted location that deals X (+/?% AP) snaring hit targets for one second and subsequently slowing opponents who afterward step on the wax by 10%. The wax lasts in the area for 40 seconds if it doesn't hit an enemy. Swarm Effect: Zhakar can attach half his current swarm (rounded down) to the wax. The swarm will constantly attack any opponent that steps on the nectar viciously for 2/2.5/3/4/5 seconds dealing physical damage and provide vision.

R Darkness Plague: PASSIVE: Reduces the attack speed of all enemies while they are in the swarm by x%/x%/x%. ACTIVE: After channeling for 2 seconds, Zhakar summons a huge cloud of his swarm that ravages a targeted area for x/x/x seconds dealing x initial damage (+?% AP) then continues dealing y% reduced damage over the duration and robbing all opponents in the area of global vision outside the swarm. Zhakar can cast again to instantly release his plague but the area will be smaller and with reduced duration.

Item Zhakar has a unique item named Treasures of the Insect King It grants him bonus attack speed and ability power and its active effect switches between three jewels with a 1 minute cool down The gem effects are as follows Red: His swarm heals him after he uses a skill Purple: His Swarm applies a DoT debuff Yellow: His swarm grants a small shield when he uses a skill

Concept Explanation Name: Scarab - Sacarab -Sacar - Zhakar Play Style: I wanted to somehow integrate a swarm concept. He cant just ignore minions, if he wants his swarm, you'll have to know how to last his. I also wanted him to be able to play more than one roll well. Skaroz= Scarab + ōsuzumebachi (Japanese giant hornet). They reproduce by laying eggs in tissue and can only hatch and grow from freshly dead bodies as the body will fight of the larva and the larva cant feed on rotten flesh.

Joke: For his joke he will have a fly buzzing around him and he kills it then say "What? Nobody likes flies", or "Buzz off" He refers to himself in the plural. Appearance: Thin wearing tattered robes and a crown. Has a stinger on his right hand and antennae on his head.

ORIGIN/LORE Not wanting to bore anyone i'll keep this as short as possible- Basically Zhakar was the son of the chief a of a warrior tribe that valued strength and battle prowess. But Zhakar was an outcast because he cared not about fighting and was more interested in observing insects, not to mention he would occasionally hear voices no one else could. He was bullied a lot and considered the shame of his father and people, his father loved him anyway. His tribe would sacrifice captives to the pit for prosperity and cures, but he saw that as just barbaric and wanted to hurry and succeed his father to lead his people to greatness. On day exploring with some peers of his age they saw small forest, Zhakar heard a voice warning him not to enter and he tried to warn his peers they pushed him down and called him weak and Zhakar cursed at them and ran away tears in his eyes. Two days later the boys died with boil marks and holes in their flesh and everybody blamed Zhakar and ostricised him even more. Zhakar was now a young man and he was accompanying his tribe for a raid and upon nearing the land he heard the voices again and tried to warn his people, they listened not and continued raiding taking valuables as well as three weird jewels that were heavily guarded. His tribe rejoiced as this was their most bountiful raid in months and laughed to scorn. Zhakar told his people they should return the jewels before it was too late but they ignored him as usual, he went as far as to try to steal the jewels but was caught. A few weeks later a plague washed over his village and everybody was infected, except Zhakar. Naturally his people blamed him as the cause declaring that he must be sacrificed as he was the cause, with a heavy heart his father had to comply. They started the ritual as Zhakar was bound before the pit, his father leading the ceremony. They had reach near the end and his father walked to his son "I'm sorry son, if only you weren't as weak as those insects you love so much." He put a crown on his sons head then continued "To the Gods we sacrifice, the king of bugs" he said before pushing his son into the pit. Zhakar and uttered not one scream, only saying "You have sealed your own fates now you shall all suffer". As the tribe cheered they looked up only to realized the sky had been covered by a black carpet, their cheers drowned out by buzzing. The swarm of Skaroz descended upon the tribe and only in death did they realize, Zhakar was right. Zhakar survived in the pit, only with the help of a few Skaroz beetles, they provided him food while he was surrounded by darkness, the stench of death and a bed of corpses and bones. After one week he climbed from the pit, he realized he had been changed physically, he had become more insect like. He looked and saw the corpses of his tribe and shout rise, and from their corpses a new swarm arose. And for the first time the voices now were clear, they were the voices of his new people and Zhakar, was finally the ruler he wanted to be.

You're giving him an ad and attack speed buff, but he sclaes with ap. Not very good. But other wise, seems good.

The concept seems solid but the stats he uses are a little mismatched. Check out my champion idea and give me feedback. maybe we can help each other out =)
