Champion Concept: Reise the Ghost Gondola Conductor
Reise the Ghost Gondola Conductor
Support
Zaun -> Bilgewater
Design Philosophy
GHOST TRAIN!! This support was designed with team mobility and map wide support. W allows him to support the whole team anywhere on the map, and allows him spots to activate his Ult to to get anywhere on the map as soon as he needs. E allows him quick movement around short areas. And tricky movements to mess up opponents if set up correctly. Every good supp should have an ability that is just fun for them with utility as a secondary mechanic not primary. The point of the game is to have fun, not make sure everyone else on your team has fun, even if your playing support you should still be able to have a bit of fun yourself. This design is actually set up for 2 reasons. Firstly I always missed Rek’Sai’s old ultimate when they removed it. I always liked the idea of strategically placing spots around the map that you could quickly travel too. I realy enjoyed the mobility and map pressure it provided. Secondly I believe that Skarner’s passive is flawed, but I feel like it could be better implemented so this kit addresses that as well.
Kit
Passive: Ghostly Armaments He gains (140%)MR bonus HP.
Banshee Whistle Range:575-775 (based on channel time) 35 degree cone FIRST CAST: channels, inhaling for up to 3 seconds, increasing the range and CC duration over the next 1.5 seconds. Maintains MS. Banshee Whistle auto-cancels when the channel ends, refunding half of its mana cost. SECOND CAST: Whistles in the target direction, dealing magic AoE dmg (+60% bonus MR) and fearing for 1 sec (+0% - 50% (based on channel time)).
Gondola Station Range: 1000(cast) 1100(AoE) 200(unit radius) Build Duration: 30/25/20/15/10 Passive: Stations grant 25/30/45/50/55% bonus MR, 10% bonus mana regen, 10/20/30/40/50% bonus MS, and allies 15% of these bonuses while with range and enemies are not. Places a spectral gondola station at a target location, that builds up over time. Cannot be placed within range of an allied turret. The Gondola Station has 4/5/6/7/8 hp and must be AA'd to destroy it. Allies can click on it to enter it but cannot AA or cast abilities inside. Inside Allies become immune to dmg. Reise’s maximum mana is reduced by 50 for each active Station.
Journey/Destination Range: 1000 Missle radius: 200 holds 4 charges, the 2nd cast has a 4 sec delay, the 4th cast has a 1.5 sec delay Cables are invisible to enemies until the last 0.5 1st cast place a suspended spectral cable section at one location 2nd cast select a target location, causing a gondola to travel the cable dmging enemies in its path. If an ally clicks on the gondola within range they can enter it.
All Aboard Missle radius: 200 After selecting a Gondola Station, starts a 1.75 sec channel as he generates a ghost gondola. 2 allies can join him. Upon recast the gondola quickly travels to the Gondola Station. Enemy champs directly in the center of the Gondolas travel path are knocked back 800 units before getting knocked behind the Gondola dealing (combined hp of all units in the cable car plus shields+ x/x/x) dmg. Otherwise enemy champs within the path are knocked aside and slowed. While ult is active entering new gondolas grants the ults effects to it.
Can be cast within range of Stations anywhere on the map, but the destination will always be the station.
Quotes All Aboard, next stop doom town! Here comes the pain locomotive! Rise to new heights The journey is more important than the destination, unless you’re on a ghost gondola Once the cables are set nothing stands in my way Your on the express Shifting cables Time to change the path I’ll find out more about this strange Mist and where it comes from This mist has strange but useful powers
Lore the Black Mist has been growing stronger and had finally small tendrils have reached as far as Piltover and Zaun searching for a weakened Sentinel of Light seeking out one of few pure powers that could end it. Lesser wraiths from the Mist caused a gondola that he was conducting to fail, but he didn't die. Instead he was instilled with a will to find out more about this strange mist that wasn't part of the Gray, and find a way to stop it.
The Sentinel of Light had been on the Gondola when the wraiths attacked and shot them with bullets that locked them to physical targets making them easy to finish off. Unfortunately he had been possessed and the Sentinel of light mistook him for a ghoul in the confusion, while he was unharmed the wraith became locked him to his clothes and the gondola.
He later found out that he could use the wraiths physical connection to the gondola to summon spectral forms of transportation and because the gondola was connected to the chains, cables, and stations all over the city he could go anywhere he wanted.
Later the Sentinel of Light tracked him down when she sensed Black Mist activity still active within Zaun even after the small invasion force of the Mist had fled. He asked her what she knew about the Mist, but she told him the best way to find out more was to experience it himself and told him to find a young woman who was out to do the same.
