Lore: (None yet) Height: 5' 11 Melee/Mage Weapon: Augmented Claws. Home: Shurima Role: Support

Skills Passive: Protective Behavior: Basiti gains X/Y/Z Magic resist for each allied champion within X yards. Q: (Broken Tomb): [AP scaling] Basiti disrupts the ground, sinking the target area, enemy champions within the area are snared for X seconds. W: (Feline Intuition): [AP scaling] Active: Shields her and her ally, increasing health regen and attack speed by X. Passive: Basiti gains X mana regen for X amount of seconds when an enemy champion is afflicted with Open Wounds E: (Open Wounds): [AD scaling] Basiti claws the enemy, slowing them by X. Basiti gains armor equal to X% of damage dealt. R: (Healing Sands): [AP/MR scaling] Basiti calls upon the sands to heal her allies, increasing her size, she gains X health.

I am still in the midst of creating this champion, I just want to know if it is worth it to keep going.

Thanks.

Ever since the Xerath rework and lore retcon, it didn't make sense that he was "ascended". Nasus is an ascended, part Jackal, resembling Anubis. Renekton is ascended, part crocodile, resembling Sobek. Azir is ascended, part falcon, resembling Ra. Xerath is ascended, no animal features, just lightning and the "sarcophagus". Why is he so much different from the other ascended? I would imagine an ascended Xerath to look something more like this, . A Shuriman support is a cool idea

Thank you! I know he was ascended, but you're right, he should look more like the others. Do you have any comments for anything I should change or add?

It's because his ascension wasn't pure. Xerath's actions corrupted the ritual, which is why he was disintegrated instead of getting a new body. Had Xerath ascended like normal he would've looked like the others.

Ahh, that makes sense then

Don't think the others are finished ascending either. They look different in the Ascension game mode when ascended. If they are ascended now, then when they are in game it doesn't make ascension seem like any big deal.

If were going with the Egyptian gods you could say he is Apophis (ok so Apophis was technically a snake) the embodiment of chaos.

The reason why is because Xerath took a extreme amount of energy in him. A normal dosis would be enough to ascend one into a animal characteristics, but Xerath just took too much energy, thus became energy.

Dude, Bastet was the goddess of cats, nto joy and happiness. Wonder why she looks like a cat? It's tooooooooootally because she is happy. No, she the goddess of freaking cats man. Kinda obvious since she looks like one

I would change this, tacked on stats are a little meh. Also I don't really see her as a tank champ so the MR and Armor feel a little out of place. Maybe on the E she could heal a nearby ally for the damage she deals. But I love the concept and would love to see another ascended.

That's the trick, she is the tank, she's the tank that doesn't look like a tank. It's a cunning thing to me, It's a trick on the mind. She can go ap, or she can go tank. It makes her more versatile.

A tanky/ap support with an interesting play-style, sustain and CC?

Yes. So much yes. I actually really hope riot actually uses this idea

The only thing I would change is the passive, perhaps have it as a beneficial aura to those standing in it rather than just straight up MR to her alone?

Either way I love the concept of this champion. 10/10 item 3069

WDTOD1 votes

Oh, ok. That is an interesting idea. But in that case I would stick the MR onto her E along with the armor.

Fringe Event1 votes

Alright, I can do that, But what would her passive be? I wanted it something that makes her more "Protective"-able.

WDTOD2 votes

Whenever a nearby friendly champ is damaged temporarily gain AP, or whenever a nearby friendly champions is damaged restore mana. So its kind of like "You hurt my kitten, I am going to kill you now".

She's like a sand version of Janna.

Her respawn animation ought to be a cat walking into the fountain then transforming into Basiti. Or a rat appears and she comes down and smites it with fury.

Taunt animation could be she pulls out a rat, plays with it then eats it.

I kind of want something more "hunter cat" in her. I thought maybe her passive could be that she senses stealthed champions better when not in a bush, and when in a bush, her vision increases (basically an ability that allows her to track the enemy team better).

After all, she was a protector and war goddess (depicted with a lioness head) in her original carnation. I see her as a lioness, stalking and hunting her prey with might and fury. However I am not sure how that would work with her kit. Feel free to debate on it. I guess where I'm getting at is that I'd like to see an ability that makes you feel like you're being hunted by her, and when she finds you, you're in deep trouble because you know the rest of her war party is behind her.

If the health regen scales it might be too much, considering you can just go in and slice some faces and heal yourself and your ally. Maybe have it a flat and scale based on level, though that might have been your intention. If so, please disregard.

Her ulti feels too powerful. It's like a mashup of Maokai's and Janna's ulti (minus the knockback and replacing damage reduction with healing). You'd never be able to kill her or her allies unless you had something that reduces healing. I think it might not be that good, because it'd either be too OP or you'd have to nerf the numbers into oblivion which renders her R useless.

Maybe instead of constant healing, she does an initial healing burst then increases the HP regen of her and her allies around her by a good amount that diminishes over time. Perhaps her ulti can also increases their MR/AMR in her AOE so long as she can maintain the upkeep. Walking item 3105 . Or instead of the MR/AMR, for all enemies caught in it, they are slowed? Ooh, that could be a fun teamfight changer.

Or! Keep the HoT for your allies and put a DoT on enemies, that might work too. Then you can build a item 3116 for the slow for your ulti. Better synergy.

Unsure about the mana regen for the W passive, since it sounds like you'll want a item 3070 on her anyway, might be redundant. I can see item 3003 + item 3091 on her. Jfc save us.

Feel free to debate on any of this, I'm not familiar with numbers (AP/AD ratios or cooldowns) enough. I just like gameplay, heh.

You kind of described rengar there. But I get what you are saying. With her ultimate, it has an upscaling mana cost. Unless you have total mana runes, and mana items, I wouldnt see it going for more than 6 seconds with a regular build. Plus, the range of it is pretty small, no bigger than 350 range. So it's a Maokai/Janna ult essentially, but the whole team would need to be up her butt to get the heal over all of her team.

I am thinking about adding a maxumum castime to it, too.

The Rengar similarities made me realize it wouldn't fit with the rest of her kit, though I do like the idea of a support/tank who you fear because they buff the rest of their party.

The smaller range feels reasonable. I'm don't have a good sense of range (numbers elude me) unless I can picture it being relative to something else. I main Maokai so I understand how big his ultimate is.

But seriously the champion feels solid so far.

Fringe Event1 votes

Bigger than nasus' ult, smaller than maokai's.

A little more towards maokai's, though.
