disclaimer: i do not have a knowledge of balancing champions or items, so the numbers may need a lot of adjustment before possibly being implemented

Edit: I got rid of most of his ap ratios, reduced the damage on some of his abilities and made all his magic damage be able to crit. I gave him some more cc, and changed the passive to more represent what i originally intended to have it do. His e was changed to give him some bonus crit, and increased all the stats he gains while in it. Finally the bonus ap is replaced with as, and i went more in depth in his lore.

There are very little immobile champions in the game, and that is a shame because it instantly adds in so much strategy to work around that weakness. Since I already made a immobile adc, I might as well go for another fun immobile champion, a bruiser. This champion is an idea I had that could help fix the lack of immobile champions. Introducing Thalos, The Demon Emissary

Range: 125 Explanation: Thalos kinda needs to be melee to make his whole kit make sense ...

Passive: Opportunist: Thalos is great at finding opportunities to deal extra damage. Thalos deals an extra 50% ad on critical hits, or targets affected by hard cc. This passive cannot stack with itself Explanation: This is Thalos's biggest strength, and what makes him unique to all other champions. When thinking of builds for Thalos, this should always be a factor.

Q: Laced Sword: (cost:30/29/28/27/26 mana, 11/10/9/8/7 cd) Thalos is an expert with poisons, and applying them on/into anything. His next AA deals a bonus 25/35/50/60/85 magic damage and stunned. The magic damage can crit. Explanation: As a solo laner this gives him some cc to help him either survive, or set up a gank. In a teamfight this could give him and his team some extra room to fix their positioning, and gives him some room to split push if you want.

W: Demonic Strike: (cost:65/60/55/50/45 mana, 10/9/8/7/6 cd, range: 550) Thalos Thrusts his sword forward with demonic energy, dealing damage to any it hits. This is a skillshot that deals 35/55/75/95/115 magic damage, 100% ad phisical damage, and on hit effects that can hit up to two targets. First target hit is slowed for 20% for .5/1/1.5/2/2.5s. Similar to his Q the magic damage (and physical damage) can crit. Explanation: This ability is Thalos's main harass, and gives him some AoE to help out in his early game and in teamfights.

E: Infernal Field: (cost:65/60/55/50/45 mana, 20/18/16/14/12 cd, range:275) Thalos uses some demonic energy to enchant the soil beneath him. You place down a field with a radius of 275, while in this field you gain 4/8/12/16/20% bonus crit, 4/8/12/16/20% bonus AS, and 4/8/12/16/20% increased self healing. The first champion Thalos AA while in this field is stunned for 2s, and any consecutive AAs against enemy champions in this field are slowed for 20% for 1s. This Field lasts for 5 seconds. Explanation: This ability gives Thalos some sustain, and a bit extra damage. This ability could be great for zoning as you don't want to fight Thalos while he is in this field. If that range seems weird to you, 275 is half of 550 which is the average range for an adc, which means a champion like vayne can stand on one edge of the field and AA a unit on the exact opposite side. I don't know why, but that seems like it's nice to me.

R: Demonic Possession: (cost:150/125/100 mana, 120/110/100 cd) The Demon inside Thalos takes over his body. Thalos gains 25% of his max hp, 20% bonus AS, tenacity, and 25/50/75 +15% ap magic damage on hit (can crit) for 15 seconds. Explanation: This puts an emphasis on a bruiser build, as his max hp is increased by a percentage and tenacity.

Lore: Few know about this naxian's childhood before his encounter with demons, however at a young age this aristocrat accidentally bumped into some ancient magical practices. Overwhelmed with curiosity he digged deeper, trying to learn anything he could about these long forgotten practices. Eventually he got to the point where the only way to learn more was to practice it him self, that day was his first encounter with any demon. The demon offered Thalos great power, and all the knowledge that he wanted at the price of sharing a body with him. Not fully understanding that he had to share a body with the demon, and his life span would be reduced. Under the advice of the demon he was able to give swain some advice on his strategies, while swain was susspicious at first and didn't trust Thalos, he was surprised at how good the boy's strategies were. Swain made an offer to him, Thalos was to not tell anyone about who originally had these ideas and in return he could have one wish granted to him. Once again under the advice of the demon Thalos agreed, as long as he is allowed into the battlefield. Once on the battlefield the demon took control, and his strength in battle soon was well known. Now with great power and knowledge, he helped noxus rise to become stronger then they ever were before. Wanting to continue to contribute to noxus's great strength, he joined the League of Legends, hoping to make noxus the most powerful forever.

... well that's all about Thalos, any questions?

Hey! ^_^ Here are my thoughts on your concept!

Passive: This rewards him for building crit which may not be optimal. I'm imagining he's some kind of juggernaut esque character, most juggernauts to my knowledge buy one damage item mainly black cleaver and proceed to build straight tank. If you champ is immobile he has to make it up with defensive stats to reach your opponent which does not allow a lot of crit:/ Maybe Ie than all tank?

E: This is essentially a nerfed version of Trundle's w and it's kind of pitiful in comparison, frozen domain gives trundle 20% healing, 20% move speed, and 20%bonus AS at rank 1. Might want to make some changes or buff it.

Overall: Overall the kit kind of reminds me of Trundle who traded his pillar for a skillshot and gave away his sustain and stat stealing for more damage. Q is an auto reset which lets him stick to opponents, e is the same skill as w and ult is pretty much the unkillable tank mode. They both fufill a very similar niche as immobile(sort of) who bash their opponents into oblivion and they both share a glaring weakness to kiting.

Lore: Interesting lore, definitely can be pretty cool. But it would be cool to know jut what consequences Thalos faced and his interactions with the demon within him.
