Houdin, the Cape Bearer!! (Yordle Champion Concept)
Let me first start out with why Houdin is the way he is. My goal was to create a Bat-Like Yordle from the beginning, but ultimately, I wanted him to seem like he could fit with the lore, and also stand out on his own. Bats are very dear to me, as they have been my favorite animal since I was but a wee-lad. And most people do not know, but Bats are currently endangered by a type of fungi that attacks them while they hibernate. A deadly process that we call White Nose Syndrome. (WNS for short.) Currently the only way we spread word is with the hashtag, #SAVETHEBATS. This champion is more than just a neat concept that I couldn't wait to share, it's a concept that I'd like to bring attention to, even if it is just a couple people interested in my champion creation.
With that said, let's get into it.
-Houdin the Cape Bearer is a Yordle that is in possession of a magical cape. I wanted him to be a support role, but through feedback, comments, advice, maybe that will change. The drawing is a bit rushed, partly because I was excited to share the concept, so I apologize! (Will take the time to actually do better at a later date.)
Passive. - Echo Stamp. Each successful attack landed, marks the target with an Echo Stamp. Houdin's attacks differ depending on the amount of marks on each target. Echo Stamps can only be on one enemy champion at a time.
Q- Echo, Echooo - Houdin emits a sonar like wave that deals damage in a cone shape, if 'Echo, Echooo' lands on a target with 3 Echo Stamps, the sonar wave bounces back to Houdin and grants vision for 5s.
W- FeatherWeight- Passive- When Houdin has been out of combat for 8s, he gains movement speed. (The cape morphs and carries the Yordle through the air.) Active- After activating, each successful 'Wip Snap!' (E) on a target with 3 Echo Stamps, grants Houdin movement speed and attack speed.
E - Wip Snap! Active- Houdin's cape snaps out and strikes the target, stunning anyone with 3 Echo Stamps. (Blocked by minions, monsters, etc.) When FeatherWeight has been activated, Houdin will spiral his cape around his and fling toward enemy champions, dealing a small bit of damage and marking the target.
R- Entry of Awe! Houdin takes hold of his cape and stretches it into the shape of a entry/exit. Smoke like particles exit the doorway and home in and fear enemy champs located directly in front of Houndi. Any champs that have been marked by Echo Stamps will be rooted in place. Each level up causes the door to get slightly bigger, covering a bigger range.
Tell me what you think and if you'd like to see Houdin added to the champion pool sometime in the future! :D
