Lore: Backstory, how they fit into the league. Apose was a disenfranchised Yordle thief that was sentenced to work in the mines deep beneath the Sablestone Mountains, tasked with mining precious metals for Heimer’s inventions. Halfway through his sentence he got trapped alone in the mines when a tunnel collapsed. Heimer learned that a Yordle, albeit and thief, had been lost and built a teleporter/mole machine to get him out. Apose was offered absolution, but only if he competed in league and displayed the extents of his talents. With nothing to lose, and everything to gain he had no choice but to accept.

Abilities: (Passive) Subterfuge When out of enemy vision for 10/8/6 seconds Apose begins sneaking, entering stealth and ignoring unit collision, but leaving muddy footprints where he travels if he's within 1000 range of an enemy champion. These footprints are visible to the enemy team through the fog of war. Basic attacks and abilities will remove Apose from stealth. After 5/4/3 seconds in stealth Apose kicks mud off his boots, reducing the visible range of the footprints to 650. Apose can then target enemies at range with his next basic attack to throw a clod of mud, blinding the target for 0.75sec and dealing physical damage, while also gaining a quick burst of speed if moving towards the blinded enemy. Projectile Range: 500 Damage: 45 +10 per champion level (+0.25 Bonus AD) physical damage. MS boost: 20/25/30% decaying over 1.5 seconds.
Simplified Tooltip: When out of enemy vision for 10/8/6 seconds Apose begins sneaking, entering stealth and ignoring unit collision. If he comes within 1000 range of an enemy champion while stealthed they will see his footprints. After remaining unseen for 5/4/3 seconds Apose knocks the mud off his boots, reducing the footprint range to 650, and using the mud to empower his next basic by adding a ranged component that blinds.
(Q) Chicanery Apose tumbles backwards in an evasive maneuver. For 2 seconds after using this ability he can then lunge forward and stab with both his daggers by targeting an enemy with his basic attack. The resulting attack empowers his basic attack to deal damage to the two closest targets. Tumble range: 250 Lunge range: 400 Cooldown: 8 seconds Damage 20/40/60/80/100 (+1.0AD) Mana cost: 40
Simplified Tooltip: Apose tumbles backwards. For a short window of time after using this ability he can then lunge forward with both daggers. The resulting attack can deal damage to two targets.
(W) Tools of the Trade Apose throws his tools as projectile weapons. This is a two cast ability. First cast - Apose lobs his pickaxe at a ground targeted location. Enemies in the area are impaled taking physical damage and are rooted in place for 0.75sec. Second cast - Apose throws his axe in a line nuke, damaging all targets hit and causing them to bleed. If the axe hits the pickaxe while it is still in the air, the pickaxe will be launched forward 325 units, digging into the ground, damaging all enemies it passes through, and slowing enemies in the area of unearthed ground. Pickaxe damage: 0.3/0.35/0.4/0.45/0.5 AD (+0.4 Bonus AD). Axe damage: 0.4/0.5/0.6/0.7/0.8 AD (+0.4 Bonus AD) on impact (reduced by 10% for each additional enemy hit) and 0.25/0.3/0.35/0.4/0.45 AD bleed over 2.5 seconds. If the pickaxe is launched by the axe it deals damage to all targets in its path, as well as the axe’s bleed damage. Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds after first cast. Second cast window: 3/3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds after first cast. Mana cost: 30/35/40/45/50 mana each cast. Combo cast slow: 30/35/40/45/50% Combo cast slow area: 325 units past point of pickaxe/axe impact, 100 width Pickaxe range: 600 Pickaxe radius: 170 Axe range: 600 Axe width: 100
Simplified Tooltip: Apose throws his mining tools as weapons. The first cast of this ability lobs his pick axe, dealing damage and rooting targets in the location. The second cast throws his axe forward, damaging all targets it passes through and causing them to bleed. If the axe collides with the pickaxe before it lands, the pickaxe is launched, damaging all enemies it passes through and creating a slowing field.
(E) Tricks of the Trade Apose launches a flask of lamp oil at a ground targeted location. The flask explodes on impact dealing damage to enemies in the area while also granting vision of them for 3 seconds. The flask leaves a patch of burning oil that lasts for 5 seconds. If Apose is in the blast radius when the flask explodes he is set ablaze taking half the damage, but gaining a burst of movement speed that decays over 1/1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds. The patch of burning oil grows in size from 150-275 radius over the 5 seconds and deals magic damage equal to 2/2.5/3/3.5/4% of the target’s max health each sec they remain in the area. Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 sec. Increased by 5 seconds if Apose is ignited. Range: 500/550/600/650/700 Explosion radius: 200 Mana cost: 60/65/70/75/80 Explosion damage: 100/150/200/250/300 (+0.25 AP) magic damage.
Simplified Tooltip: Apose launches a flask of oil that explodes on impact, damaging all enemies in the targeted location and leaving a burning patch that deals %max health damage over time. If Apose is caught within the targeted explosion radius he is set ablaze, taking reduced damage from the flask explosion and gaining an MS boost.
(R) Plot & Scheme Active: After 1.5 seconds (delayed up to 4 seconds if taking damage) Apose immediately begins to hid in plain sight, gaining the stealth effects of Subterfuge for up to 9/11/13 seconds (regardless of enemy vision) while preparing to take down his enemies. During this time Apose can see indicators of enemy movement (their movement and attack clicks). While stealthed Apose identifies his enemies’ weak spots, building-up 5% armor pen every 2 seconds he remains stealthed from this ability (up to 20/25/30%), and lasting for 4 seconds after exiting stealth. Passive: Abilities that damage enemy champions add an additional 5% armor pen, and prolong the duration 0.5sec to a maximum of 40/45/50% armor pen and 6 seconds. Cooldown: 100/90/80 Mana cost: 100
Simplified Tooltip: After a short delay Apose immediately begins sneaking, gaining the effects of Subterfuge for 9/11/13 sec. During this time Apose can see indicators of enemy movement and actions, and gains a steadily increasing armor penetration buff. Attacks and abilities used after exiting stealth can increase the effect and duration of the armor penetration.
