We need a Plague Mage

Throws around disease and infection. Builds AP, but deals physical damage.

One form of attack causes disease to spread across adjacent units over time. Think of it as a cross between Malzahar's malefic visions and Sivir's ricochet.

Another form of attack causes infection that applies DoT and grievous wounds. Think of it as a more interesting variant on Gangplank's grog-soaked blade.

Applying slows, blinds, and vulnerability to physical damage would be thematic as well. Blind is a highly under-utilized form of CC, so more of it would be a good thing.

Hmmm, this champion may be better as a support. Sort of the anti-Soraka.

Innate: Plague gains extra health for every infected enemy nearby, with no cap Q:Patient Zero- Plague infects an enemy in a very short range, dealing damage over time. W:Spread-Plague throws a cask that destroys the target's immune system, allowing infection through short distances. E: Necrosis- Passive: enemies that die while infected are able to infect enemies that pass over it for a few seconds. Active: Plague infects an enemy, decaying their skin and slowing them while dealing damage over time. R: Epidemic- Plague initiates a ground-zero effect, spreading disease in a wide range around him, dealing damage over time and blinding enemies.

Sound good enough?

Ap scaling physical damage over time? Sounds like a horrible build path. Though item 3071 would probably be a must. 1 dot = armor shred. (one reason Darius' bleed is magic dmg and not physical)

Or you could give the charace a Yasuo-esc game mechanic breaking passive that uses the MPen he builds to effect armor instead.
