Var'rix, the Parasite
I've seen a lot of boards asking for a scythe champion, so here's my take on one.
Var'rix, the Parasite
Role: Assassin/Mage
Passive: Void Corruption: Var'rix's abilities cause her mana bar to become corrupted. When using corrupted abilities, Var'rix takes max % HP damage and clears her corruption. Corruption blocks your ability to see your current mana.
Q: Sow/Reap: Var'rix creates a crescent void rift after a few seconds, damaging enemies that come into contact with it. CORRUPTED: Var'rix swings her scythe in front of her, dealing magic damage.
W: Toil/Trouble: Var'rix makes a crescent shaped skill shot travel for a short distance, dealing full damage the the first enemy hit, and half to anything behind it. CORRUPTED: Var'rix hooks her scythe on target (minion, champion, monster, or ward) and pulls herself to it, dealing damage if it's an enemy.
E: Rise/Fall: Var'rix sends a void scythe out, traveling in a line and knocking up enemies at the end of the skill shot. CORRUPTED: Var'rix gains an attack speed buff, dealing extra magic damage for a few seconds.
R: Beginning/End: (Transformation skill, given at level 1) Var'rix changes to to use her corrupted skills, dealing magic damage in a small area around her and taking extra max % HP damage. CORRUPTED: Var'rix changes back to her normal abilities, gaining a small, flat amount of HP.
Lyndia was a normal farmhand, helping out her father on their farm. One day, while reaping some wheat, Lyndia stumbled upon a small amount of purple sludge in the fields. It attached itself to her hand, fusing itself with her and the sickle in her hand. Lyndia desperately searches for Kassadin for help with removing the creature attached to her hand. Var'rix, on the other hand, wants to fully take over Lyndia's body and assimilate all of Runeterra into itself.
For flavor as Var'rix uses abilities, the less corrupted she is, the more she remembers about being Lyndia. "Wait, this isn't me." "Stop this, PLEASE!" "I'm not a monster." Or she gets taken over more, the more corruption she has. "All will become Var'rix" "Join me." "Destruction awaits you."
Obviously this champion is designed to be an all in assassin, with careful watch of both your mana and corruption to make sure you can fully use your abilities. If you don't have mana, you can't use normal skills, if you don't have corruption, you can't use the corrupted skills. Anyway, I'd love any feedback on this.
