hello riot! I have an idea to create a new champion. Brief description of champion: champion must be melee attack damage and passive tank.

Vakhtang I Gorgasali Vakhtang Gorgasali ( 440-502) - the king of Georgia (Iberia) during the second half of V century, one of the founders of the Georgian statehood. His nickname “Gorgasali” is translated from Persian as “wolf's head”. Persians called him so, because of combat helmet. The main activity of Vakhtang Gorgasali was aimed at unification of Georgia and reducing its dependence on the Iranian authorities. Vakhtang Gorgasali was trying to use the confrontation of Iran and Byzantium in favor of the interests of Georgia (Kartli). He reinforced and reinstated the fortress by a creating a system of fortifications. At the same time he began the church reform with intend to achieve recognition autocephaly of Georgian Orthodox Church. In order to strengthen the position of the country, Vakhtang Gorgasali renewed the fighting with Iran and in 484 was at the head of an important uprising of the Georgians and Armenians against Iran. Despite the fact that the battle was lost, Iranians have weakened their regime. At the end of the V and at the beginning of the VI Vakhtang Gorgasali was mortally wounded in battle with the Persians. His remains are lies in the Svetitskhoveli cathedral, in the town of Mtskheta. The Georgian nation for centuries keeps the memory of King Vakhtang Gorgasali, which is revered as a model of courage and wisdom. He became the favorite hero of folk tales, and the Georgian Church canonized him a saint. Order of Vakhtang Gorgasali is one of the highest state awards of Georgia. With the name of the famous king and commander is connected a beautiful legend about the foundation of Tbilisi. Earlier, in the place of the city was stretched the impenetrable forests, where once was hunting king Vakhtang Gorgasali. Royal falcon chased to pheasant and soon the birds have disappeared in the gorge. When Vakhtang Gorgasali descended into the canyon, he saw that the falcon with a pheasant boiled in a hot water spring. The king inspected the place and ordered to build the city here, which was named Tbilisi (“tbili”- a warm, Tbilisi - a city of warm springs”). The construction of the city in V century completed the successor of Vakhtang Gorgasali, Dachi, who moved the capital of Georgia from Mtskheta to Tbilisi.
