TLDR LORE: This is my first champion design. His name is Dash and he is designed to be a yordle jungler. Lore wise, his village and family were all killed and Dash was taken to be sold at the black market in Zaun. The world's most infamous thief buys him and raises Dash as his apprentice and son. Dash learns all the tricks and surpasses his master. One day Poppy is heading through Zaun when Dash sees her hammer. It's so big and shiny. He wants to steal her hammer but she looks like the type who would put up a fight so he charms her. He goes on about how brave and strong he is, all the monsters and evil-doers he has brought justice upon. He tells these stories of coarse after Poppy spills her guts about her mission. Poppy is fully convinced that Dash is the legendary hero she was searching for. "Zaun of all places, and a yordle at that!". Dash got a decent price for the hammer, a little less than what he wished for but a fair price nonetheless. Like always, the hammer finds it's way back to Poppy and let me tell you, she's pissed.

Great job with the artwork. The whole gold stealing concept is a little broken assuming the enemy doesn't have a chance to get their money back.

this whole thing feels like sly cooper from the thievius raccoonus http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/sly/images/a/a6/Screenshot_sly_cooper_and_the_thievius_raccoonus_35.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130416072153 summoner 30 summoner 31

Well, it's a yordle concept, so thumbs up! We could use more yordles.

That passive is really cool!

You played a lot of Sly Cooper didn't you?

I really like this concept but I don't think that gold stealing part could ever make it to live. Riot doesn't like stuff like that.

it is definetly an interesting champ design. but, if I may ask, do u have the stats per level, base stats, and scailing on abilities done? or did it not go that far?

I like this little guy! He's got a cool kit. However, coupled with his damage and mobility comes a LOT of CC (and strong AoE linear slow and a massive AoE displacement). I think that's a bit much, and plus he looks to deal a ton of damage early game based on those scalings and bases. If you are open to suggestions I'd tone down the amount of CC he brings to the table because his damage and mobility are already top of the line.

Here's my concept, I'd appreciate some feedback as well. Love this idea!

I can't really see his passive working, because the terrain isn't designed to be interactable. It's easier to just think of it as a line you cant cross with the trees etc being a simple visual flair. What it looks like is irrelevant, its function is the same. Whether it rises an inch off the ground or a hundred feet into the sky, for gameplay purposes its the same. If he was running on top of it, for one, he'd be just that... literally on top of it. It wouldn't look good at all. But on top of that, if say, I was Braum or Xin or Akali or Zed or Talon or... any champion who can jump to another champion what would happen if I jumped to him while he was terrain? I know you said he falls off, but those skills move you to their location, which would be on the wall. Now assuming it knocked him off and I was positioned to the nearest space of accessible terrain, what would happen if it forced me on the other side of the wall--that'd be pretty anti-fun and unrewarding.

What a coincidence I made a Yordle champion named dash too.

##CCOS Review

First of all, I wish I had even a tenth of the talent that you have in art. Drawings are super cool and really gives you a feel for what kind of character he will be. I wish you could really expand on the lore, but I do find it pretty humorous.

Passive- Very interesting passive here, I have to say. I do have a question about it. How long does he remain on the terrain for and is he targetable during his time on said terrain? I feel that these things need to be addressed. Also love how it interacts with his abilities. This makes him a champion that will always be aware of his surroundings and attempt to use them to his disadvantage. The only problem is would it even work ingame, cause League doesn't always function the best with unique stuff like this.

Q- Kind of a boring ability, but spices up with his passive. Not much else to really say about it.

W- Interesting passive, as it forces you to think about whether or not it's better to wait it out and stay out of an enemy's vision or to charge in and attack with a hard engage. The smoke bomb active seems interesting, if a bit vague on the specifics. Things such as radius and duration are needed.

E- Interesting little skill here. Nice that it allows you to immediately climb terrain. I'm not too keen on the stealing gold aspect. Does he actually remove gold from his target? If so, then he would be broken and really unfun to play against to be honest.

R- This is a nice ultimate. At first glance it doesn't seem like much, but it's an interesting ultimate that can easily sweep in the entire enemy team and position them in a way to grant your team victory. Kind of similiar in effect to Poppy's ultimate (hehe.) How far does he throw them though?

Overall, the kit could use a little tweaking, especially in making the Q a bit more interesting other than being what seems to be a harass and crowd control tool. The stealing gold aspect of his E might need some tweaking as well. Your artwork and ingame stuff looks really cool. Gonna need to learn how to do that sometime.

I absolutely love the idea! We need more yordles and tbh I just really love the bandit thing and stuff ;v;

I love this champ idea, but a low cd on hit that steals gold would quickly prove to be broken.

I still love the champ though, and could see this being a champ.

May i ask with what program you done your artwork?

FlameHalbrdOkido5/24/2016, 3:25:07 PM1 votes

If he kills the target with E getting bonus gold is ok, but not on cast

I wonder what Dash is gonna say about this, the rito host.
