#SOURCE OF INSPIRATION:

The Idea for this Champion were taken from a mixture from Ragnaros from WoW and the Hawaiian goddess of Fire and volcano's, Pele, which is also the namesake for this champion.

#SUGGESTED LOOKS AND THEME:

LOOKS:

http://magaimg.net/img/94ih.jpg

For the Looks, I decided to go with something different than usual. I wanted something a little bit more...edgy. But not too much, don't want kayn to sue me for copyrights.

THEME:

For the Theme, I needed something that was very much like you'd imagine a volcano. A slow-paced, calm beginning, as if nothing is wrong at first, then a small rupture, a steady build up, the situation getting worse as it progresses, and then a big explosion near the end with the calamity setting in as the score settles. So I found this:

#AUTHOR'S PHILOSOPHY:

Well, this one is actually quite simple. We have no lava champions to date and it's an interesting element to use for a mage, so I thought I would try it and see how I can make a lava-mage work. I certainly had fun brainstorming this one because all the things you can do. There was a very large range of abilities to discover.

#KIT:

http://magaimg.net/img/94il.png PASSIVE ABILITY: Song of Fuji Cooldown: 16 Seconds

Every few Seconds, Pele charges his next Basic Ability to deal an extra 30/60/90/120 (+10/15/20/25% AP) Magic Damage against enemy Champions over 2 seconds and slowing them by 20% over the Duration.

http://magaimg.net/img/94im.png Q-ABILITY: Ring of Erta Ale Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 Seconds Costs: 50 Mana Cast Range: 600 Hitbox: 80 Connection Hitbox: 100 Projectile Speed: 600/Second

Pele fires 2 Lava Bombs in a circle infront of him, dealing 60/90/120/150/180 (+40% AP) Magic Damage to all enemies hit. The Lava Bombs collide at a targeted Area, dealing 80/120/160/200/240 (+60%AP) Damage to enemies instead. For every Champion hit by the Collision of "Ring of Etra Ale", Pele recovers 10/15/20/25/30 Mana.

http://magaimg.net/img/94ip.png W-ABILITY: Pillar of Yasur Cooldown: 14 Seconds Costs: 50/55/60/65/70 Mana Cast Range: 750 Area of Effect Range: 400

Pele erups the target Area after a 1 second Delay, dealing 50/75/100/125/150 (+30%AP) Magic Damage to all enemies hit. 1 Second after the initial Effect, a Second Eruption will take place, dealing 100/150/200/250/300 (+70%AP) Magic Damage to enemies hit. Minions take 50% Reduced Damage from the second Eruption.

http://magaimg.net/img/94ir.png E-ABILITY: Cloak of Colima Cooldown: 16/15/14/13/12 Seconds Costs: 80 Mana Cast Range: 800 Area of Effect Range: 300 + 300/2 Seconds

After a 0.5 second delay, Pele rips a Fissure at a target Area, which expands in size over 2 Seconds, lasting for 4 Seconds total. Enemies inside the Area take 20/25/30/35/40 (+10%AP) Magic Damage every second and slowing them by 40%. Enemy Champion, who are inside "Cloak of Colima" while being hit with the Collision Area of "Ring of Erta Ale" are stunned for 0.5/0.75/1/1.25/1.5 Seconds.

http://magaimg.net/img/94it.png R-ABILITY: Wrath of Tambora Cooldown: 140/130/120 Seconds Costs: 100/120/140 Mana Cast Range: N/A Area of Effect Range: 300

Pele targets all enemy Champions across the map, melting the ground beneath them for 2.5 Seconds before causing a massive Eruption on all Locations, dealing 250/400/550 (+70/80/90%AP) Magic Damage. Afterwards, for the next 6 Seconds, all enemy Champions, struck or not, are inflicted with "Nuclear Winter", disabling Health Regeneration, reducing movement speed by 10% and reducing Attack Speed by 30% over the duration. Pele deals 10/15/20% increased damage against Enemy Champions inflicted with "Nuclear Winter".

#TRIVIA ABOUT ABILITIES:

  • All Abilities contain the names of real-world Volcanoes, being: Mount Fuji (Japan), Mount Erta Ale (Ethiopia), Mount Yasur (Vanuatu), Volcán de Colima (Mexico), and the last recorded Super Volcano to erupt, Mount Tambora (Indonesia).

  • The Slow from "Song of Fuji" multiplicatively stacks with the slow from "Cloak of Colima", Prioritizing "Cloak of Colima"'s slow, resulting in 40% +(40%/5), totaling a 48% Slow.

  • The Q, "Ring of Erta Ale", can be compared to Galio's Q, except the Collision Area for the 2 Projectiles don't deal the initial damage Plus the extra damage, but deal only the extra damage.

  • The Debuff from "Wrath of Tambora" cannot be spellshielded, but it can be disspelled by all known items and Abilities that remove negative effects, such as Mikael's, QSS, GP oranges and so on.

#STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:

STRENGTHS:

  • Very strong wave-clear

  • Global Presence with Ultimate

  • Brutally punishes enemy poor positioning.

  • Successful combo's are a guaranteed kill.

WEAKNESSES:

  • Mana-refund based on passive, limiting Trading windows

  • Every Ability can be evaded

  • No percentage Health-based Damages or Executes, poor against many tanks.

  • No defensive Abilities.

#CHAMPION SYNERGIES:

Alistar Lissandra Sion Sejuani Leona Maokai Thresh Zac Champions that specialize in keeping someone where they are for extended durations are the best synergetic champions with Pele because all his Abilities are stationary and require the enemy to be immobile for them to land.

http://magaimg.net/img/8xhg.png

#COUNTERS:

Mages that Outrange him, such as Lux Syndra Xerath Ziggs create many difficulties for Pele because he needs to get closer to them to land his abilities, which will very often put him at risk of self-exposure.

Mobile Assassins, most preferably blinks, such as Zed or a secure dash like Fizz Nocturne are his weakness, as they are with all immobile long-range mages that have only skillshits.

#LORE:

Pele was a prominent mage during the time of the Darkin's rampage across Runeterra. As a servant to one of them, he sacrificed his own free will for more power and to better serve the one that granted it to him. Despite having no more free will, he still possessed his emotions which caused his passion for servitude and loyalty to absolutely escalate, for he had, willingly, known no different.

However, as all reigns had to end, the Darkins ended up being cast away within their own weapons and their servants either dispersed or died fighting for their powers. Pele, having infused his very being with the Magical Element he used, Lava Magic, was unable to be physically destroyed due to his body turning into Molten Lava, repairing itself fully. And so, like his master, he too was locked away, cast into the deepest pit of the most active known Volcano in Runeterra.

But in the years of his sentence, he expanded his powers by fueling his own Lava with the natural ressource of a Volcano, and began to slowly weaken his shackles until one day they would break loose. And on that day, Pele swears to rain the unholy wrath of his Lava onto all who opposed him and his Master and to return the Darkins to power, by any means necessary.

That's Koth of the Hammer from Magic the Gathering...

Just FYI here, but Pele (Pelé) is the name of a Brazilian soccer player from the 60s. And Molten Core is a WoW raid.

Hmm.

This kit is functional. In the Power-fantasy, this champion does really embody the Idea of a volcano. The longer he plays, the stronger he scales, meaning the more destructive he becomes. His response is delayed, but absolutely devastating and unforgiving, and despite only having flat damage, even the toughest tank will feel the full, destructive capability of a successful rotation.

However, the kit in itself is rather simple and, to put it blunt, nothing new (Except for the R) and so the big question is "Why should I pic this over X champion?" Because you have competitors, several, who do the same thing he does, by essence, and so he could simply fade based on how meta he is.

Overall kit is good, decently designed, no structural mistakes to spot, but the kit is simple and doesn't offer many new things

P.S: I absolutely LOVE the names, the passive does sound like it could be a genuine Ability, it has a poetic tone to it.
