I made these myself i'm not an genius artist but i think you can get the idea.

I hope i'll get some feedback not just pointing out my mistakes.

How big is his sword? I made a concept that legit gives him the ability to summon a sword that's three-stories tall. xD

I find it hard not to point out the mistakes, since they are very blatant, but since LuaDotExe already did I'll capitalize on the one value I find in this kit: The King's Wrath. I love that idea of leaking out the Black Mist to eviscerate the enemies in a terrifying manner. It makes for a chaotic entrance that is usually only replicated with tank ultimates--except this one does damage. I think only Nocturne Nocturne has a chaotic entrance similar to this.

Outside of that, I feel that you need to highlight context and meaning clearly for The Ruined King's kit. Answer some obvious questions one might ask, like why does he cut himself? In my concept, I have a thematical reason, engrained in his lore, for why each ability works the way it does.

Speaking of lore, I strongly believe that at least 60% of the focus should be on the significance of his lore. The Ruined King is the crux of why The Shadow Isles even exists. As such, I personally transformed his lore into an epic that involves: Mordekaiser Hecarim Kalista Ryze Azir Evelynn Lucian Thresh Nautilus Maokai Yorick Bard

It creates a connection between mana and death, goes more in depth in these champions personalities, and it lays the foundation for the very reason why we play League of Legends by connecting The Ruined King to the Nexus Shards. With such significance, I am able to justify his kit as sort of a raid boss who has very telegraphed abilities, but are monumentally powerful. I mean, a three-story tall sword could literally be considered a monument.

I feel like The Ruined King has amazing potential in his lore and champion theme, so I wanted to appreciate that by making his lore a novel rather than a short story. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of effort and I wasn't sure if I should sustain it. However, the historical concepts devoted to making The Ruined King a reality gives hope for me to at least finish this story. The psychotic part of The Ruined King is a very important piece of his life, and I am actually planning on making an unclear disaster in the universe of Runeterra being directly caused by a rampage by The Ruined King.

Ty for feedback, i've read your concept and it's really interesting. I also think the ruined king should have an big lore since he's so important. But i really don't think he has any connection to the mana and nexuses cause that's just the magic whitch is all over runterra and our summoners rift and the game is not lore connected in any way. In the lore of the blessed isles the only thing that got hit directly was the Isles now Shadow Isles and Bielgwater whitch is haunted by the spirits every harrowing. The story of the shadow isles must be old since everything's changed and it even might be updated again. And i see that you also tagged Nautilus whitch in my opinion should be updated since he's from bielgwater but nothing got explained.

I definitely agree with your sentiments. A big reason why I placed some oddball champions like Nautilus Nautilus is to actually give an opportunity to explain some mysterious elements for their lore.

For Nautilus, we can see that he was dragged down into the abyss by a dark monster. However, he survived. The beginning of the story with The Ruined King in his second life is in the middle of the ocean abyss. Essentially, I'm tying in The Black Mist with the dark monster that Nautilus had to face.

This is further justified by Illaoi Illaoi's "foreign god," Nagakaborous, being a tentacle monster with the purpose of defending from the Harrowing. The abyssal monster could very easily be a corrupted version of Nagakaborous from The Black Mist.

I'm stationing the ancient kingdom of The Ruined King in the same place as Ryze Ryze's village, which is now Piltover/Zaun. I'm making this connection to explain the origin of The Black Mist itself. We know it's from the curse that occurred from the Mystic Tree's power being abused, but where did this power come from and for what reason does it keep the denizens of The Shadow Isles in a suspended state of undeath?

I believe it is due to the Queen's continual existence that controls The Black Mist due to being resurrected by the Mystic Tree. The big explanation for the Mystic Tree's power is that it is a World Rune. The only reason it did not cause the galactic explosion that occurred in Ryze's village is because the Queen still maintains control over the World Rune through The Black Mist while the collision of two World Runes in Ryze's lore was completely unstable and uncontrollable.

The purpose of existence of these World Runes will be explained in this lore, which ties into Nexus Shards and Mana in a very large way. A big reference the poem makes is that he will die again. The significance of this is that it means that Zara, the Cryptic King, would be the first champion who is literally nonexistent in the present of Runeterra. His very existence relies on the matches involving World Runes in a grand scheme.

He does NOT need to be in the game. That's like adding all champions with item names into the game like Doran, lord domick, etc. really dumb.

That's just a concept that i thought fit The Ruined King from the lore. He doesn't need to be in the game but it would be cool to have an truly psychotic character.

Evil Yasuo1 votes

I wasn't the one who gave you a thumbs down btw, I don't do that to creation. Agreed, a psychotic champ would be sick.

LuaDotExe1 votes

Uh, no, a psychotic champion would not be "sick," since deciding that a champion is "psychotic" is offensive to the mentally ill, which is already a controversial topic and should NOT be brought to League of Legends. That aside, let's get cracking:

The passive is useless. There's so many items in the game, and you're basically REQUIRING them to build those items. Not much to say here. On the topic of his Q: "shadow orbs" instantly make me think of Syndra's dark orbs. Base damage is pretty high, as well; since there are three orbs, and the following two do 50% reduced damage, we take 100% of the damage and then add 50% to it, twice. That gives us 200% of the damage, meaning the base damage should be much lower; that's a base 50%. I could talk more about the scalings, but you don't have them yet. I dislike the dual scaling, however. Is W a heal or a shield? What damage type? Your E has AD scaling magic damage, which is almost never a good thing. It increases the physical damage your auto attacks do, while making it harder to itemize against you because suddenly you have an ability that also increases with the same stat but has a different damage typing. Your R is fine as it is.

In total, your kit is messy; your passive requires you to build specific items instead of encouraging building them, and requires gold to get use out of. On top of that, it has no in-built effects besides that, which makes you more feast-or-famine. Additionally, your kit is mildly dull, and there's not much room for skill expression. You're more like a fighter than an Assassin, and it's not clear what you should be building. Your W and E makes me think "build bruiser" or "build tank," as well as your high base damages, ut you have next to no utility. Your E and W don't fit on an Assassin.

Thank you for the feedback, now that i think about it, yes the passive would be kind of useless, it would need to be an additional effect not the whole passive. I would really want an champion that has an ultimate like that, to power up the champion and kind of make it rampage around. The shield was at first suppoused to do magic damage and after getting bloodthrister it would heal, Warwick has ad scaling but does ap damage on his Q. The W i made up just cause i thought he needed more health to be rampaging on his ult. The damage's were thought up with "what would not be broken" That was the idea i didn't think about it much. Thank you anyway.
