[Champion Concept] Reek, The Gnat Miser

Posted Reek about a week ago in Community Creations in order to enter a contest. Just now noticed that there is a "Champion Concepts" sub forum so I thought I'd share her with you all.

---

I'm leaving off the damage associated with abilities because I'm not a professional balancer and wouldn't know how to do a good numbers list that would be balanced with her tool kit. The concept stands on its own though.

I don't own this art and don't take credit for it.

Statistics Health 385 (+78) Attack damage 49 (+3) Health regen. 6.75 (+0.65) Attack speed 0.625 (+2.11%) Armor 16 (+4) Magic res. 30 (+0) Range 500 (Ranged) Mov. speed 335

[Passive]Pestilence – Whenever an enemy unit dies near Reek she gains a stack of pestilence. Reek deals 2/3/4 bonus damage per stack with her next damaging ability. Reek can have up to 30 stacks.

[Q] Biting Swarm Range: 600 Double Crescent Skill Shot Cost: 5/6/7/8/9 Pestilence Reek sends out a swarm of beetles who fly out and attach to the first living thing in their path. Does damage over time, and if both hit the same target apply a fear for .5/1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds.

[W] Bursting Bugs Range: 500 Targeted: Any Unit (allied or enemy) Cost: 10/11/12/13/14 Pestilence Reek decides on a living host for her swarm. After a 3 second delay her beetles burst from the host, dealing damage to everything around the host for 3 seconds, and blocking sight of anything outside of the swarm (see: Graves’ smokescreen)

[E] Incubate Range: Self Cost: % Health Passive: Reek’s auto attacks deal 2/3/4/5/6 damage over 3 seconds (stacks up to 3 times) for each stack of Pestilence she has. Active: Pay the spell’s cost (health) as the dead flesh of old beetles is eaten by the new. Reek gains 1/2/3/4/5 stacks of pestilence.

**R: Rapid Decomposition ** Range: 150 + 10 for each stack of pestilence Cost: All Stacks of Pestilence Duration: 4 Seconds + 1 Second per stack of pestilence. Reek gains movement speed, armor and magic resist. When a minion or champion dies near reek that champion explodes into gnats giving Reek 4 stacks of pestilence and dealing moderate damage to those around her.

Causes champions and minions to explode when killed and temporarily grants bonus armor/MR and movement speed as well as extra pesticide stacks.

Lore Your guess is as good as mine, I'd feel horrible if I wrote something that doesn't fit with the league lore but I'm a writer so I'm sure I can write a convincing story.

My attempt at a lore that can be inserted into the league world.

Reek was originally a young girl whom was born into a noble family of insert city. After an uprising and a shift in power though Reek's mother and father were killed and she was tossed into the streets forced to live among the pestilence and poverty her own family had helped create. After a time Reek began to absorb the decaying nature of the slums and sewers. It changed her and her body became a home for insects, bugs and disease. Reek became mentally unstable and began trying to spread pestilence and disease to all she could reach. When she heard about the league she decided to join in hopes that she could spread her corruption to more and more people. As an emissary of all things rotten she has lost sight of the purity she once had and just wants the world to accept its own rotting nature. She slowly is gathering an army of insects and all things rotting in attempt to take over the world. While her mind is corrupted and her body is rotting Reek still retains the general attitude of a child and throws tantrums as well as enjoys playing and giggling often. Just because something is rotting and dead doesn't mean it isn't fun!

Description (and Personality?) Reek was a young girl who was corrupted and destroyed by the sewers and slums of some kind of league sewer. She now seeks to spread the corruption thrown upon her to all other things gathering as many insects and disease as possible. She has a crush on twitch and is generally a pretty upset and filthy person. She likes to be play with dead things and bugs.

VO lines "Filthy, disgusting... perfect." "All things die, all things rot, you too give in." "I have so many friends." swirl of bugs "The purer they are, the more easily they're corrupted." "Its time to REEEEEEEEEK some havoc!"

To Twitch: "You're so.... shudders disgusting. I love it." // "Smell you later. giggle." To Annie: "Ew, I bet you shower..." To Lee Sin: "Hey! I'm not easy... but I AM SMELLY!" To Sion: "Yes, yes you look like fun!"

Skin ideas Scarab Queen Reek: Basically an Egyptian scarab queen set. She throws the Egyptian scythe and spawns little tombstones with hieroglyphs with the bodies her ult explodes. Poro Swarm Reek: Changes her bugs to mini poros and adds snowy particles to all abilities.

Thanks to Faedien for making some cool suggestions.
