Champion Concept - Mercenary Ninja: Kage

Ocelot Toes·12/29/2017, 9:34:23 PM·2 votes·538 views

The idea of this champion is that he's a real ninja, based off of Sengoku period mercenaries for hire. He moves around and atop terrain to position himself to take out his target. Let me know what you think!

Passive - Unlucky Recipient Teammates can purchase a bounty on a champions head at the shop for 150g, Kage deals increased damage to this champion. Edit: Forgot to add - If he kills the champion, he receives the 150g that was paid for the bounty.

The marked champions wards do not reveal Kage.

Q - 20 Energy - Loosed Blade: Kage dashes a short distance, if he hits a champion he will slit their throat. He can then recast again to do another short dash and slit the champion again dealing critical damage.

W - Hide on Terrain: Kage can attach himself to nearby terrain and become invisible for 12 seconds. After leaving terrain, his next basic attack deals bonus magic damage.

E - 100 Energy - Grappling Hooking: Kage launches a grappling hook in the target direction. If he hits terrain, the cooldown on his E is reset and 50% of the energy cost is refunded. If he hits an enemy champion, they take 30 (+0.3 AD) damage and are rooted for .25 seconds.

R - Deadly Walker: First Cast: Kage jumps on top of nearby terrain.

Second Cast: Kage will be launched to target area, if he hits an enemy from behind, they're suppressed while he back-stabs them dealing damage based on their missing health. If he hits them from anywhere else, they will take less damage and not be suppressed.

An indicator will show up above champions you're behind

Champions marked with Kage's bounty will see several clones of Kage walking on top of the surrounding terrain. If Kage performs a successful back-stab on this champion, the clones will jump with him and deal bonus damage. Kage can switch between clones by right clicking on them. If an enemy hits the correct Kage, the clones are destroyed and Kage is revealed. If no champion has a bounty, Kage will not be able to switch between clones.

THIS IS SO COOOOOOL!!!!!!!!

The passive is very unique and it has so many cool options with built in counterplay. This is awesome. Only problem I see is some player behavior/priority issues with the passive but I would totally insta-buy this champ. I love me some ninjas.

That could put a lot more use to the gold, even once you get a full build

Hm... Three of those abilities look very familiar. I wonder why that would be?

Isn't a mercenary ninja just a none loyal Samuari? The passive is really unique and I like it, But to me, it feels like your mashing up ninjas, who are supposed to be sneaky and bounty hunters, but then again, Shen is a tank, so what do I know. It also sounds a lot like Camille with some of their abilities in my opinion as well. But that passive is truly a unique concept and I would love to see that in game, definitely would be a good jungler.
