Undren is a new idea for a top lane champion who focuses on excessive bulling and using enemies against each other, while the player needs to be aware of where his positioning is and how to best make Undren effective.

Position: Top Lane (Full tank Bully).

Full Preferred build: Ninja Tabai, sunfire's cape, warmogs, spirit visage, renduins, banshees. The ninjai table help reduce damage, the sunfire's passive magic damage scales great with Undren's Q since his greatest kill pressure is at close range, Warmogs to help with his low health regen, and give huge health regen when close to enemies, also complimented by spirit visage, renduins for hard engage, and banshees in case the enemy tries to peel your engage.

Summoner Spells: Flash, Teleport

Appearance: Undren is a large, buff demon roughly the size of sion, with darkgreen/gray skin much like the harrowing champs thresh and kalista since he comes from the same lore (explained later). He has 2 arms, 2 legs, a set of demonic wings (resonating with greenish energy), a basic and raw set of armor with a belt that holds a whip. His face is concealed behind a large iron mask, shaped like a closed dragon's mouth. Exact details as follows:

Head: Look up Ornstein from dark souls 1, fairly similar yet with black coloring, pointed downwards and more blunt.

Armor: no armor on his chest, just a simple belt and torso cover, the belt is black with green runes on it, the torso is kind of like a Spartan's torso, with sheaths coming down.

Body: Generally buff, 2 large wings with dragon scales yet bat extensions and vertebrae, he has claws on his hands, I guess a good over all image would be a magic-whip wielding orc with wings and a dragon mask (though he is technically human).

Skin ideas: Gladiator Undren (human, has iron Spartacus helmet, throws a gladiator net for W, not sure about R however), Blood Moon Undren (full red, Blood moon mask, you get the idea)

Stats: (from lv 1 to lv 18) Health: 580 - 1843 Health Regen: 4.1 - 12.3 Mana: 281 - 864 Mana Regen: 7.6 - 15.3 Attack Damage: 59.4 Attack Speed: 650 Armor: 31 - 75 Magic Resist: 24 - 62 Movement Speed: 340

Vocals: His voice will be like thresh's, but with a lower pitch and more aggressive.

On Pick: "Their loyalty will only go so far...."

Standing: "Trust no one, not even yourself!"

Moving: "Yes, run to your so-called friends."

Laugh: Throw his head down and laughs until he starts coughing.

Taunt: "Care to find out what you are made of?"

Joke: "Why can't we all just.... get along?" "Look out behind you! Haahahahahaha"

On E: "It is inevitable."

On R: "Fall to the Dark!"

Whenever He is around enemy Kalista and her bonded team mate: "Care to find out how strong that bond is....."

Whenever He is on the same team as Thresh: "Two flays are better than one!"

AutoAttacks: Undren rips back his whip and slashes at the target with a strong side stroke, followed by a down stroke if another attack follows. Crits will be a sharp lunging slash.

Mechanics: 600 range

Passive: Traitor's Potential: Whenever an enemy champ gets within a certain range, Undren gets 5.5% maximum health regen for 5 seconds. This may only occur once every 20 seconds, but multiple enemy champions will proct multiple traitor potentials. (Amount of enemies that can trigger the passive at once scales with levels 1 at lv 1, 2 at lv 5, 3 at lv 9, 4 at lv 13, 5 at lv 17)

Animation: Undren slaps his chest and a magical mark appears on him that glows with black energy.

Mechanics: Range: 1000

Q Ability: Agony's Burn: Undren's next autoattack gets increased range and marks the target with a large aoe magic burn that lasts for 4 seconds, hurting nearby enemy minions and champions. Undren can continue to attack the target up to 4 times to increase the duration and damage by double continually.

Animation: Undren's whip flays back and glows with green energy, then quickly hits the target. Green fire than burns around the target during the ability.

Mechanics: (lock-on) Range: 850 AOE Range: 750 Cost: 65/70/75/80/85 Mana

Damage: 10/15/20/25/30 magic damage per second (the current amount increases by 25% up to 100% for each autoattack up to a max damage of 60 magic damage per second)

W Ability: Empathetic Embrace: Undren throws a darkish greenish orb that, when contacting the enemy champion, will drain 20% of their armor and magic resist to Undren and slow them for 70% for 2/2.25/2.5/2.75/3 seconds. Furthermore, if Undren gets closer to the afflicted champion, that amount increases up to 35% if they are directly next to him (1200 for weak range-175 for closest).

Animation: Undren pulls back his left hand and chucks a large dark orb that when connecting with the enemy champion, causes them to glow green.

Mechanics: Skillshot, aoe of 150 (only one target however) 950 range *moves fairly fast at initial speed then slows down the farther it reaches max range before dissipating.) Cost: 80 Mana

E Ability: Demon Rush: Undren rushes forward a large distance without control, dealing substantial damage based upon his maximum health.

Animation: Undren puts his arms out to the sides and flies forward incredibly quickly, covering a large distance.

Mechanics: Range: 1000 (has unstoppable feature like malphites ultimate) travels a set distance after usage, can not be stopped by enemies or player, only walls can stop causing him to crash slightly. Cost: 80/85/90/95/100 Mana

Damage: 100/125/150/175/200 (+6% maximum health) magic damage

R Ability: Soul Possesion: Undren turns into a spirit of betrayal and enters the body of a chosen champion. He then controls the champion for 4/4.25/4.50 seconds (including abilities and autoattacks and movement, but not summoners or actives) while the champion deals 50/45/40% reduced damage, and during the ability all allied units are now allied to that champion, and all enemy champions are adverse. (Undren's Q and W affect the possessed champ if they were used)(all crowd control effects from possessed champs are 50% effective, both in duration and tenacity.)(This ability can be banshee'd and quicksashed.)

Animation: Undren's body becomes Green, blackish energy that enters the enemy champion's body, causing them to glow black. the range is the same as cho'gath's ultimate.

Mechanics: Range: 175 (lock on) Cost: 100 Mana

Lore Summary: Undren was originally a judiciary and knight of Demacia, and one of the most noblest sires. His peers often felt jealousy towards him and how much the royalty favored him. He and his fellow knights went off on a voyage to fight with noxian powers for a city, but his friends abandoned him on the shadow isles on the day of the harrowing, and his was soul was taken. He became a mass of anger for his betrayal, and sought after his once comrades and killed them. He soon became allies with Thresh on his travels searching for betrayers, and thresh likewise enjoyed the free source of souls. Kalista, however, instantly became angered towards his misconduct and the increasing call for vengeance against his actions. When Undren began decimating a noxian army, forcing them against each other, Kalista appeared and soulbound the noxian captain, Darius, to fight him. Undren Possessed Darius and broke the bond, forcing kalista away and beating her, yet Kalista survived and returned to the shadow isles with a deep vengeance unlike any she had ever experienced. Undren joined the league of legends battlefield into order to find more opponents who would kill their allies, believing that betrayal is inevitable.

Champ counterpick list: Good against: Yorick, nasus, Garen, Gnar, IIrelia, Renekton, anyone who gets up close or tried to farm melee. Bad Against: Riven, Mundo, Ryze, Mao Kai, Vlad, any tanky ranged enemies or enemies that can shield themselves from his poke. He will destroy yorick since he can kill his minions with the Q and possess him during yorick's ultimate, but his strongest counter pick will be mao kai, who can heal against his q with autoattacks but more importantly farm with hatchlings till he is strong enough to engage.

Concept and presence: Undren has incredibly pushing power. During lane he will push his opponent's out of lane using his Q and his autoattacks, all while pushing the lane. His W makes it impossible for close range champions to try to trade with him, and his E makes for a great escape and engage. His ultimate is only useful in lane if you can force the person into the turret, but when followed up by a gank so the jungler can kill them, the ultimate becomes far more useful. During team fights Undren is a strong source of poke, while also force enemies to split against the one that is marked with Agony's burn. He can then engage on carries and use them to kill their allies, or grab jungler and supports and waste their skills. Undren also suffers from many weaknesses. Undren has the lowest health regen in game, and depends on his passive to heal him in lane. While he can push the enemy laner out of his lane, he has to be careful not to lose his healing source. Undren's E, while a great escape and engage, is a set distance. Meaning if he goes to far, he can miss the target or even get himself killed. Undren's ultimate may seem very strong, even OP, yet it is basically worthless in trades unless the enemy gets to close to the turret. This is to be used as a team fight mechanic, and give him a purpose if he gets behind in lane. Undren players will also depend on keeping a "golden distance" if you will. They want to be just far enough to land the W with ease and poke with the Q and not take minion harass, but not force the enemy out of the lane and lose healing benefits.

I really like the concept, but I have one question. What would his mana costs be? I could actually see making him into champ with energy or just make him have none and push like a Renekton. Otherwise, the idea is amazing.

You can't do this Kalista would hunt Undren to the ends of the earth, she might actually form a physical body just to downvote this post XD. Only she can be the killer of betrayer, ALL MUST GIVE THEIR SOOULS TO KALISTA IF THEY SEEK REVENGE!!!

That joke aside i think that this is a great champion, I can tell that you put a lot of effort and dedication into his design an implication. The amount of detail that you have here is amazing and it seems to be very well balanced. Ive wanted a whip champion for a very long time now, and this guys really does the idea justice. I hope that Riot eventually makes a whip champ and i hope that its something like this. While I like the ult, I was disappointed, I was hoping that this whip champion would have at least one more whip based ability.
