What Archetype does league need?

Papa Andrei·Dec 31, 2016·7 votes·1,082 views

I love to write short stories in my spare time, and I always start with a character Archetype. And then focus it down, This is much the same as the Champion creation process is.

So if you could choose any archetype of a character to implement into League, what would it be?

For me it would be a True evil Necromancer, with zombies and ghouls and the like. Not half or sorta Necromancers like Yorick and Mordebugger.

Or an actual Templar Fanatic, you know the kind, the mad warrior who goes around in the name of justice killing all they see as unclean.

Garen

No, he does everything in the name of Demacia, not for his own personal sense of justice.

Exactly. Closest thing we have to your archetype is Kayle.

She too, but Kayle is more the actual Templar damage/support archetype while Garen is the Zealot soldier of (what Demacia declares is) Justice.

Sharman. Not these "kind of" Sharmans like Ivern. A real Sharman which draws upon the energy of his surroundings to do his bidding. One who stands with and as the map. One who is enable to fuck up a whole teamfight, but still are wrecked by a single A-fucking-ssasin, and are this wierd thing between Supp and Control Mage. Not this combination as Zyra, which has no Supp abilities, but more like a Karma.

Professor. One who actually brings math into the game. Not a Hiemedonger. A champion with a Velly Q thing, and could depend on your real life logic. This is propably the hardest ever. But a professor could be good.

The Damned. One who actually is against his doing, but are forced. One which brings a little more interesting lore to the game, and one who connects lore and game. It could be really sick and would bring a nice "soul vs. soul" thing to the game. I made one with this theme, it was hard, and I didnt really used much of the potential of having to souls in one body. But here's my idea if you can use it (the lore is written as a poem): Syth, The Forced of the Dark Side

For Shaman, you mean more of a supporty kind like a mix between Ivern, Karma? Good shields, low damage, actually can control the fight through teammate and enemy managements right?

It would be interesting to see a character like that, maybe someone whose abilites are purely dependant on the type of enemy they are facing? Like you got 4 basic abilities, but through in game actions those abilities are changed?

Also for a Damned, do you mean a person who was taken over and is being used against their will? Cause if so we got Brand, Varus, and A Sol

ye pretty much. Some "fluid" skill shots, there acts slightly different according to the situation, or according to the target. That could be awesome.

About the Damned. Ye we have Brand and Sol and all them, but one which lore kind of acts in the gameplay. Is if the Q were a thing like:

W - Slight Flee: Dash Range: 400 units. Mana cost: 75/80/85/90/9 CD: 15/14/13/12/11
X's soul frees itself from the body as a dash in direction of the mouse without the body. While dashing X are invulnareable and untargetable. The body with the soul of Y quickly follows up as a teleportation when the dash has finished. The dash can go through terrain. When ending the dash enemies in a cone of 60 degrees away from the body are taking 70/90/110/130/150 [+50% AP] magic damage and are slowed by 20% for 2 seconds. The body are slowed by 20% as well for two seconds.

An example i just made up where you kind of got this "two souls in one body" effect. About visualising it it could something as when a champion are hit be one of the Tentacle Queens slams. There you get this dash out but the soul doesnt leave the body. Above was more specific what I was thinking about.

Yep, also they can see not just the future, but things goin on in the world at the moment they are using their ability, maybe also the past too, as well as things about other people

I would love to see a swordmage. some one that can enchant their own and others aa's, each ability would be mana over time cost, do things like extra damage and range, slow, and maybe aoe effect, Ult be a huge mana regen boost
