Behind every great weapon... there is always a man.

Notice: So, I entered Colt into the October CCC (Champion Concept Contest) and I was blown away, because he got himself 1st place!! I am so grateful to SirArmaMalum for doing this contest every month! He is very awesome for what he does. I'd also like to thank all the judges that participated. I'm surprised I won because there were tons of other cool concepts in the contest and I'm lucky to be the winner. Thanks to all the concept community for taking me in with open arms. Thank you all.

Appearance

http://i.imgur.com/BVHSqcC.jpg

Colt is a young man in his late-20s. He has spiky black hair and a small goatee. He holds his hair up with his goggles, which he can put on and off using an emote, kind of like Neon Strike Vi. He uses a sleeveless white shirt and blue jeans. He has a big backpack-type machine (the Energy Pack) on his back, where he has two shoulder cannons. He can direct the shoulder cannons using handles attached to them. The backpack also has two drones that attach themselves to his backpack, TEK and ATT. Colt also has a gauntlet on his right forearm, with a mounted energy gun he uses to attacks when Mobile. The gauntlet can bring up an interactive hologram he uses to control his armor and mines and such. His legs are equipped with heavy armor with rocket boosters, that he uses to hover all the time. They can also attach him to the ground, locking him in place.

TEK and ATT are both small circular-shaped drones. TEK has a gold-green color scheme and has a green eye, on a black eyeball, his "armor" is positioned over his eyes to make it look like he's smiling all the time. ATT has a gold-red color scheme and much like TEK, has a red eye and has his "armor" set up to make it look like he's always angry.

Lore

Colt has always been a troublemaker since his youth. Nevertheless, he has a heart of gold. He's known as "The Siege Engineer" nowadays, thanks to his masterful work and great contribution in the field of siege weapons and such. He used to work for the highest bidder, but after he saw what his weapons did to innocent people, he decided to stop making weapons for the wrong people and use them himself for the greater good!

Colt left his parents' house in Bilgewater at an early age. His parents knew he was capable of doing great things and that he wasn't meant to be a plain fisherman. Their son had spent all of his childhood tinkering with his inventions. It was obvious that's what he loved. And as great parents as they were, they were holding him down. Colt left that day crying, but with his head up, as if he were prideful for leaving his home. He had a destination and now, he just had to get there. After quite a journey, Colt managed to find what, he was sure, needed to be his new home: Piltover. Here, he knew he could do something with his inventions that could make a difference. He soon realized his talent lied with creating weapons, and so he did.

He started small, building custom-made rocket launchers, mini-guns, hand revolvers... Heck! He even tried building a Mercury Hammer. But, soon, he started thinking bigger. He quickly realized how the weapons market had big potential. He loved inventing and the income he'd get would let him build whatever he had ever wished! So, he started building cannons, battering rams and all sorts of siege weapons. Needless to say, he was very successful in the business, since we lived in unsteady times. The country of Noxus was one of the biggest buyers and ordered hundreds of cannons, crossbows and vehicles every month. Other usual clients of his were the Winter's Claw, Demacia and Zaun. He soon became one of the most acclaimed weapon makers in all of Valoran. His fame and glory clouded his judgment and made him keep building these war machines for years.

One day, Noxus asked for him to personally go and fight alongside them in battle. Colt accepted, fearing that the Noxians would feel insulted if he rejected. He had just made his companion drones, also made for sieges, and took them with him. Once he got to the battlefield, the battle had already started. What he saw that day scarred him for the rest of his life. His own weapons were being used for a massacre in a village to the north of Noxus. His cannons destroyed homes and his crossbows shot the arrows that pierced the hearts of women and children. It was the first time he ever saw his weapons in action. After witnessing the evil he was sponsoring with his inventions, Colt started attacking the Noxian escort that was with him. He sent his attack drone to attack the Noxians that were part of the massacre and his healer drone to help anyone hurt. The Noxians were forced to flee due to Colt's intervention.

As soon as he got back to Piltover, he cancelled every single one of his weapon shipments and started destroying all his life's work. But, suddenly, his drones called out to him, as though they understood what he was feeling. He realized how the massacre would've been much greater if he had not been there with his drones. He came to the conclusion that his inventions weren't bad, the people who used them were! He, realized he could use his weapons for good and that he could only really trust himself with his own weapons. Not long after that, "The Siege Engineer" was still a name whispered in the ears of men and children all over Valoran. But, not as a weapons maker, but as a hero in his own right.

TEK then damages enemies around the target for 50/80/110/140/170 (+0.5 AP) and silencing them for 1 second. TEK then remains in the battlefield for 8 seconds, searching for allies around Colt that are low on health automatically. TEK then heals the target over time, but can only heal any target for a maximum of 100/130/160/190/220 (+0.5 AP) health. TEK can be destroyed with three basic attacks.

At rank 3, TEK also shields any allies he heals for 80/100/120 (+0.2 AP).

Absorbing enemy projectiles, heals allies inside the dome by 25% of the damage the projectile would initially deal. It can be destroyed after taking 400/600/800 (+0.5 AP) damage from enemy projectiles. Allies can get in and out of the dome at any time, while enemies can't walk through it. The dome's duration is halved if it is used under a turret, but can absorb turret attacks.

Any other Siege Ammo used in the next 15 seconds costs 50% more and can't be recast immediately afterwards. The initial explosions can hurt turrets. Destroying a turret resets Siege Ammo's cool down and mana cost increase and the next Siege Ammo used has no cost.

Cost: 100 mana Cooldown: 8/7/6 seconds Range: 800 AoE Range: 150-radius

Gameplay

I think Colt would be best described as a very mage-oriented support, or a very support-oriented mage. In this sense, I think he is somewhat like Karma. A mage that can stand on his own and that deals some pretty good damage to enemies, all the while pushing his lane to the max, when going on a solo lane. While also being able to help his partner in the duo lane, by healing him and zoning enemy champions.

As a support, Colt's laning phase is very poke-oriented. Entering Siege Mode while inside a brush is optimal, so that Colt can control more of the lane and use Lock-On! to enemies that don't respect his range. His range in Siege Mode is always shown to enemies, except when there is no vision of Colt himself, so being able to sneak into a brush and deal surprise damage with his basic attacks and abilities is optimal. Planting Land Mines in all the right places will also help both of Colt's offense in lane, as well as defense. Since, Colt can also activate Land Mines while in Siege Mode, using them for of your advantage to zone enemies will result in an easy farm lame for your carry. Using Lock-On! on multiple enemies instead of just one can also prove advantageous when hard pushing the lane and when the jungler comes in for a visit, since the slow can allow for a safer escape. When pushing turrets however, using Lock-On! only on the turret can also help push the turret faster, allowing Colt faster access to his upgrades from Upgraded Tech. ATT is also good for not only pushing lanes, but for sieging turrets, by poking enemies and giving you a safer trade. While in Mobile Mode, Colt's threat is minimized, but using TEK to heal allies and minion waves can also grant more sustain for staying in lane and allow for a more effective push. Be careful though, because TEK requires a lot of mana to cast in early levels, so keep that in mind. Reflector Dome can also allow you to win fights under turrets, since it allows to block turret hits, but be wary, since not only is the duration shortened under tower, but the tower can also quickly break the dome.

Colt can also excel in either of the solo lanes, being able to farm and poke enemies at a safe distance in Siege Mode. Setting up two Land Mines on both sides' river brush, can also allow Colt enough time to turn to Mobile Mode and escape, if he is able to stun his enemies. Be careful when using Siege Mode still, because junglers can gank from behind and the enemy mid laner can also trade with you pretty easily, if you're not careful enough. TEK and ATT can allow you to stay in line longer and to harass your opponents more safely, respectively. Siege Ammo is a great tool for zoning and pushing the lane effectively, although Colt's lack of dashes or blinks can make it hard for him to escape, if he pushes too much. Reflector Dome is also a great way to gain a new life if you run low, but keep in mind when it's about to break or to time out, the dome will flash red, warning the enemies of the perfect timing to send their skillshots.

In teamfights, Colt can be very flexible. He could dish out damage from way afar with Siege Mode, launching as many Siege Ammo as he can, or he could stay up-close and personal to the enemy team in Mobile Mode, allowing for TEK to have enough range to heal his allies and allowing him to do defend his allies with Reflector Dome. His engages are also pretty good, if he has upgraded his Mobile Mode to give his allies a short movement speed buff, that allows them to position themselves as they prepare for the battle ahead.

Building Colt, you need to pay attention to his Energy Pack passive. Having fully stacked Rod of Ages and Tear of the Goddess, Colt has full cooldown reduction. Building Rod of Ages and then building Ionian Boots can also work and allow to build more damage-oriented items. Rylai's is a pretty good pick for him, allowing him to bring more utility to his team and adding to Lock-On!'s slow and allowing Land Mines follow-up explosion to have some utility as well. Building him off-tank is a good idea because you'll be able to be less punished when attacked while in Siege Mode, allowing to shrug off some of the damage you take. As a support, his starting items should probably be Spellthief's Edge, a health pot and a ward. Although, he has his Land Mines that can be placed anywhere, Colt doesn't gain vision with them and even if he did, he would need to be in activation range to counter a jungler gank. Having a ward would help him be able to see when the enemy was coming. Spellthief's Edge would also allow him to add some damage to his poke and gain gold from it, since he already has a really strong poke.

Release Skin Ideas

Full Metal Colt: Colt would be all robot with this skin, having a rusty golden color scheme. He would have a similar visor to Full Metal Jayce and have a robotic filter for his voice. TEK and ATT would also be more teched out, having more mechanical and robotic looks to them, and having similar visors to Colt. As he changed from Siege Mode to Mobile Mode and vice-versa, his entire body would move accordingly, with transforming parts and such. His Reflector Dome would be light-blue and more mechanic-y. His Lock-On! particle would also change (kind of like how Woad Scout Quinn changes the passive) and his Land Mines would have light-blue explosions and more technological.

Medieval Colt: Colt would instead of having mechanical and technological theme, he would have a more medieval theme. His Energy Pack would be wooden, and his cannons would be more like traditional cannons. He would fire cannon balls instead of his normal ammo. His gauntlet would become a crossbow, mounted on his forearms and his backup gun would become a second crossbow. His legs would be wooden with iron planks, with some gears that would rotate when entering Siege Mode. Instead of hovering he would ride with wheels on his legs. His Lock-On! would be a barrage of explosive arrows, instead of missiles and his Land Mine would be a more traditional bomb.

Changelog

October 11th, 2014

Balance changes:

• Changed Energy Pack's (P) CDR gain, from every 30 mana, to every 50 mana. This change was to keep the original intention of the passive to need at least 2 mana items (RoA; Tear) to gain full CDR.
• Reduced Mobile Mode's range from 525 to 475.
• Reduced cast time for Siege Mode/Mobile Mode (W) from 1 second to 0.25 seconds.
• Removed 20% Attack Speed loss from Siege Mode.
• Added a +25 range bonus in Siege Mode for every turret pushed, from Upgraded Tech (P). This set of changes were made to really emphasize Siege Mode's strengths, without feeling punished for using it. And to better differentiate Mobile Mode's weaknesses from Siege Mode's weaknesses and really showing their strenghts.

Miscelaneous:

• Added a TON of special interactions.
• Removed some of the special interactions with Jinx. The ones removed weren't really that important or examples of Colt's character, so, to keep it simple, since he has so many lines with Jinx already, I removed them.
• Added the changelog and the notes section
• Some minor tweaks to the post aesthetics and some spelling corrections

October 12th, 2014

Balance changes:

• Changed Enter: Mobile Mode's (W) cooldown to 0 seconds. This change was made to fit with the reduced casting time for both Enter: Siege Mode and Mobile Mode from the day's prior changes, and to make it so that, players don't feel punished for entering Siege Mode and rooting themselves for too long.

Miscellaneous:

• Added sketch art
