Zizac, the Darkin Scythe

Lovemebad·2/21/2016, 7:02:37 PM·3 votes·988 views

It has been more than 2 years since Aatrox has been released and we are yet to see another Darkin champion! Here is my Darkin champion concept who shares similarities in his abilities with Aatrox as well as having a living weapon. He shares similar physical features with Aatrox, such as bat-like wings and scaly arms and legs. However, he has a smaller and leaner figure with a dark-greenish appearance instead of red like Aatrox. Please leave expectations, suggestions, and criticisms in the comment section.

Zizac, the Darkin Scythe Primary: Fighter Secondary: Assassin

Abilities Passive: Corrupt Well Zizac gains 8 corrupt points to his Corrupt Well whenever he casts an ability that damages an enemy. Additionally, he gains 2 corrupt points for every basic attack against a minion or monster and 4 corrupt points for basic attacks against an enemy champion. The Corrupt Well depletes by 4 corrupt points per second if Zizac hasn’t dealt or received damage in the last 6 seconds.

For every 10 points in his Corrupt Well, Zizac gains a bonus of 3% armor penetration for a maximum of 30% at 100 points.

Q: Corrupt Intent/ Corrupt Assault First cast: Zizac dashes forward in the target direction and deals 55/95/135/175/215 (+70% bonus AD) physical damage to all enemies in his path. Range: 475 Width: 185 Detail: Linear Dash Second Cast: Zizac unleashes a torrent of dark energy that deals 60/100/140/180/220 (+60% AP) magic damage to all enemies he is facing in a 70 degree cone Range: 500 Cooldown: 13/12/11/10/9 seconds after second cast

W: Dark Invigoration Passive: After Zizac damages an enemy champion with a spell, he and nearby allied champions gain 5/7.5/10/12.5/15% bonus movement speed for 1 second. Subject to change Active: For 6 seconds, Zizac’s next offensive spell will consume his Corrupt Well and heal him for 1/2/3/4/5% (+0.25% for 20 every corrupt points consumed) of his maximum health. The healing effect is doubled if the spell damages an enemy champion. Passive Range: 1000 Cooldown: 22/20/18/16/14 seconds

E: Scythe of Agony Active: Zizac lacerates a targeted enemy dealing 70/110/150/190/230 (+80% bonus AD) physical damage to it and all enemies within 100 units. All affected enemies are infected with grievous wounds and slowed by 40% for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 10/9/8/7/6 seconds Range: 200 Detail: Single-targeted ability

R: Archangel Active: After a short delay, Zizac blinks towards a targeted area and deals 150/300/450 (+150% bonus AD) physical damage to all enemies. On his arrival, he fills his Corrupt Well by 20% for each enemy champion hit. Additionally, for 4 seconds, all enemy champions that deal magic damage to him will be silenced for 1.5 seconds. An enemy champion can only be silenced once by Archangel. Range: 700 Cooldown: 130/115/100 seconds Detail: Ground-targeted blink and point-blank area of effect

If you check my post history, I'm actually a very friendly guy. He's trying to promote his own agenda, that's all.

And honestly dude, I didn't downvote your idea but at the end of the day, it's ok to have a bad idea. It's what you can learn from your idea that's important. If people give you feed back on an idea or concept, take it on board. Because ideas aren't perfect the first time you pitch them. Heck, look at Riot and Ao Shin. It's taken them nearly 3 years to get it right. So don't get too beat up about it if an idea doesn't go well. Just try to improve for next time :)

Now, onto said champion:

Mmm this is alright, but it feels a little similar to Fury in a way. I recognise why you would want something unique, and honestly there's no reason why you couldn't use 'Corruption' instead of 'Fury'. Nothing wrong with this.

Q: Corrupt Intent/ Corrupt Assault First cast: Zizac dashes forward in the target direction and deals 55/95/135/175/215 (+70% bonus AD) physical damage to all enemies in his path. Range: 475 Width: 185 Detail: Linear Dash Second Cast: Zizac unleashes a torrent of dark energy that deals 60/100/140/180/220 (+60% AP) magic damage to all enemies he is facing in a 70 degree cone Range: 500 Cooldown: 13/12/11/10/9 seconds after second cast

So one cast scales with AD and the other with AP? Interesting. That's a good method of balancing it out. If he were to hit 2 champions with say just his dash, does he still only get 8 stacks on his passive because it his a champion? Or 16 stacks because he hit 2 champions?

W: Dark Invigoration Passive: After Zizac damages an enemy champion with a spell, he and nearby allied champions gain 5/7.5/10/12.5/15% bonus movement speed for 1 second. Subject to change Active: For 6 seconds, Zizac’s next offensive spell will consume his Corrupt Well and heal him for 1/2/3/4/5% (+0.25% for 20 every corrupt points consumed) of his maximum health. The healing effect is doubled if the spell damages an enemy champion. Passive Range: 1000 Cooldown: 22/20/18/16/14 seconds

I don't typically like to comment on numbers, but I would suggest raising the duration of the movement speed buff. Even to something as minimal as 2 or 2.5 seconds. The active is a bit peculiar. So it's reduced if used against minions, and increased against champs is the basic thinking behind it, correct? And with 100 Corruption it would heal for 6.25% max health against minions and 12.5% against champions? Also what happens if he's unable to deal damage for some reason? For example. he activates it, charged into a jungle camp with his Q that he thinks is there and it isn't.

E: Scythe of Agony Active: Zizac lacerates a targeted enemy dealing 70/110/150/190/230 (+80% bonus AD) physical damage to it and all enemies within 100 units. All affected enemies are infected with grievous wounds and slowed by 40% for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 10/9/8/7/6 seconds Range: 200 Detail: Single-targeted ability

This seems alright. My only issue could be to maybe increase the cooldowns a bit, given that the wounds apply for 3 seconds and at level 5 this has a 6 second cooldown. The slow works well with this W passive though, so that is a nice combo there.

R: Archangel Active: After a short delay, Zizac blinks towards a targeted area and deals 150/300/450 (+150% bonus AD) physical damage to all enemies. On his arrival, he fills his Corrupt Well by 20% for each enemy champion hit. Additionally, for 4 seconds, all enemy champions that deal magic damage to him will be silenced for 1.5 seconds. An enemy champion can only be silenced once by Archangel. Range: 700 Cooldown: 130/115/100 seconds Detail: Ground-targeted blink and point-blank area of effect

Sounds cool. The silence is a very nice premise. I've had an idea similar to that in the past myself (mine was a stun). So I'm guessing the combo is: W, R, E, Q, E or something along those lines? Next ability heals, ult in, grievous everyone while they're there, charge at someone, then grievous them.

All in all, you've got some good ideas here. There's nothing actually too wrong with the kit you've come up with, but at the same time it's not incredibly interesting. Now don't get me wrong, that's not your fault. While the Darkin's are cool, we know very little about them so it's hard to work from a certain angel. You just kinda end up with 'generic angry'. Try to come up with one. If Aatrox is meant to be this supposed spirit of 'war', what's another angel you could go with? Maybe they're themed after the Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Maybe they're based after the "Immortals": War, Death, Time, Nature and Fate? Just something to make him have a bit more personality and character.

Probably doing of lonely flamer. He have at lest 6 alts, and downvotes people, tracks every move of good concept creators.

Having a bad day again, Regonas ?

There are a lot of people that dismiss ideas very quickly and downvote without giving feedback, but that is mostly connected to overdone concepts (darkins being a big contender) and bad or unoriginal kits.

Now about your concept: Since we know very little about the Darkin you don't necessarily have to make him similiar to Aatrox. The artificial body and living weaponry is probably the main aspect of Darkins (as far as we know), but your character could look and act very differently. I dislike that unlike Aatrox he doesn't really have a theme (at least it's not very appearent). The fact that he has Griveous Wounds, free AR Pen and Silence makes it very annoying to balance him as you always need to keep these factors in mind, I think it would help a lot to decide on one role and theme.
