(This is a Rework of a Champion I made one year ago in the old forums. His name was Sidicus, but I made him to a girl. Yeah, sounds creepy, I know. I still hope you can enjoy it..)

#Lore "I once had a diary that I’ve lost somewhere. I know that there was something important in it, but I would really love to remember. I just hope no one finds my diary, especially not Lux" Ezreal

*"Sidia was an ordinary girl and ordinary student, who studied arcane arts and their influence on the environment in the Piltover Academy. Sidia had the best grades on the Academy, she worked hard to achieve acknowledgement and a good reputation. Unfortunately, when the popularity of a young explorer named Ezreal was spread across whole Piltover, Sidia’s grades went down. The Piltover Academy started to compare their students with Ezreal, the Prodigal Explorer, who was not only the best student, but also achieved great things even though he was so young. *

*Since aeons in Runeterra’s history, rivalry is something that accompanies the good people, and the wicked ones. Even though this rivalry was never on the surface, Sidia hated Ezreal. Within the academy, within the city and even in her own home – she was compared with him. She was for most people no longer a individual person, but the next successor of someone else. Her own parents, despite of her feelings, praised Ezreal and his achievements. It was not long after, when Sidia was weary of her surroundings, and went to the only place known for its silent atmosphere – the famous Library of Piltover. In this place, she could stay her whole life, gathering wisdom and not being seen as the next talented youngster. *

*When she searched for a book, she found a diary stuck between two bookshelves. It was the diary of Ezreal, in which the coordination of a possible remnant was written. Sidia, in hope to find a artefact that increases her reputation, travelled to the coordinates, and found a cave. Unfortunately, the cave was closed by massive rocks, but she didn’t give up. It was then when she found a hidden switch, which miraculously sent the rocks aside, as if the rocks were the gates. What she found inside, was a great cave full of pure magic crystals, and a great black tree root placed on a podium. When she came closer to it, the roots released from the podium and snapped her arms, until her arms were completely wrapped up by the roots. When it was complete, she immediately felt that something was changing inside of her. The hatred she felt was significantly increasing and she couldn’t control her feelings. Suddenly, her gloves began to shine red and then a magic beam went straight into the hall of crystals. The magic beam was reflected at each crystal, until it vanished into nothingness. *

The power she was wielding in her own hands, increased the obsession of her rival so much, that she joined the League of Legends in order to defeat Ezreal and create her own popularity, until one day, the people may use her as an example of a great Piltover student, and not her rival, Ezreal. "

#Appearance

Sidia pretty much looks like this:
http://rousteinire.deviantart.com/art/Student-Council-President-473432584

Her weapons are her dual gloves. In addition, she deploys crystal towers in order to reflect her abilities.

Sidia pretty much sends forth a prismatic bolt like down below. She can also create a straight and endless beam similar.

#Champion Explanation

  • Sidia (Originally Sidicus – Inspiration from Zeddicus (A mage in the TV novel ‘The Sword of Truth’)) is a 18 year old student, who obviously hates Ezreal. Normally, she’s a really cute and nice girl, very reliable and works hard.
  • As the Lore says, she was never seen as Sidia, but as the next Ezreal. On top of that, nothing that she ever did was appreciated, because the spotlight was always focused on him. Her feelings have been ignored, the pain she felt was too hard for her to take – and when she was wielding the gloves, she felt a urgent power to ruin Ezreal’s reputation and to destroy him.
  • *Even though there are more and probably better reasons to fight to death in the League of Legends – Rivalry is something that always coexists with the people. While Ezreal has everything, a Girlfriend, a Boyfriend, a great reputation and the trust of almost all nations – Sidia has nothing of it. She soughs to gain all these things by eliminating Ezreal and free Piltover’s Academy from the continues comparison between their students and a single one being – Ezreal. *
  • There are many remains of ancient civilization, like Ezreal, who found an amulet that used to be for a giant person. Nevertheless of the size, Ezreal used it as a glove. Sidia found something like an altar of dark arcane arts, where the roots of a tree was spreading out of a stone podium. Those roots immediately snapped her arms and clinched around her hand and forearm. Though Ezreal found the closed Cave, he never entered nor found out how to go in. However, there are rumors that Ezreal was afraid of what was lying deep inside.
  • Sidia is a Champion who uses her two gloves in order to create a high concentrate amount of prismatic light, in order to create either a bolt of sparks or a constant devastating beam. Either way, her abilities can be reflected by the crystal towers, which can be used to get access to long range targets or to create traps.
  • *Due to her strong fortress-like kit, similar to Heimerdinger or Azir – Sidia is a strong lane bully, who can attack her targets from different angles, but is vulnerable to close ranged combat. She is best played at mid, perhaps top too. *

#Stats
Damage 49 (+3.1 per level)
Attackspeed 0.650 (3%)
Health 425 (+74 per level)
Movement Speed 330
Armor 16 (+2.6 per level)
Magic Resist 30 (+0.0 per level)
Health Regen 4.9 (+0.6 per level)
Mana Regen 6.5 (+0.63 per level)
Attack Range 550

#Abilities

#Innate Passive - 'Laser Therapy':
*Whenever Sidia’s Prismatic Bolt goes through her or an ally Champion, they are healed by 3%/4%/5% (Champion Level: 1/6/12) of their missing health. This can occur up to three times within 15 seconds on the same Champion. *

#Q (Skillshot) – ‘Prismatic Bolt‘:
*Upon activation, Sidia sends forth a prismatic bolt up to a range of 650. The prismatic bolt deals to the enemy target 60/75/90/105/120 (+60% AP) magic damage. *

Prismatic Beam: When holding Q, the prismatic bolt becomes a prismatic beam, with the same range and deals the same damage every 0.5 second, but consumes double amount of mana each second while active.

  • Info: Prismatic Bolt has no cast time and can be used while walking. For the duration of Prismatic Beam, Sidia can’t move. Both Bolt and Beam won’t go through enemy targets like other beam attacks usually do. If Prismatic Beam active is over, the Cooldown begins.
  • **Mana Cost: ** 40/50/60/70/80
  • **Cooldown: ** 8.5/8/7.5/7/6.5

#W (Placement) - 'Cold Mirror '
Sidia deploys a Crystal Tower within 300 range around her. Using a drag & point system, the direction of the Crystal Tower can be adjusted when placing. When Prismatic Bolt and Prismatic Beam hits the Crystal Tower, the skill will be redirected to the direction where the Crystal Tower is facing. Up to a max of 1/2/3/4/5 Crystal Towers can be deployed and be active.

Once Prismatic Bolt or Beam hits the Crystal tower, nonetheless of the position, it will be redirected from the Crystal Tower 650 range to the direction.

  • Info: Crystal Tower is trespass able and can be destroyed with three basic attacks. Crystal Towers don’t decay after a time. A tower can't reflect the same Q a second time, instead the Q projectile vanishes. If an enemy destroys a Crystal Tower, he gains +8 Gold. It is theoretically possible, to attack a spot very far away, if you have the knowledge and skill.
  • **Mana Cost: ** 50/60/70/80/90
  • **Cooldown: ** 15/13/11/9/6

http://s14.directupload.net/images/141107/syj9ynmu.gif

#E (Buff) - 'Stronghold ':
*Sidia immediately summons all of the deployed Crystal Towers within a 2500 range around her. The crystal towers then float around her for 2.5/3/3.5/4/4.5 seconds. Every time Sidia does a basic attack, each of the crystal towers shoots a small prismatic bolt. Each projectile deals 25% of Sidia’s Base AD plus 3% of her AP as magic damage. *

In addition, *whenever Sidia gets hit by an enemy basic attack or ability, she loses one of her Crystal Towers. Upon recast or after all Crystal Towers have been destroyed, Sidia shatters her Crystal Towers if not already destroyed, and stuns all enemies near by 300 range for 1.5 seconds. *

  • Info: All Crystal Towers will be collected, this includes the ones from her Ultimate. At 500 AP and with 11 Towers (5 from W, 6 from Ult) this makes 33% of 500 =
  • **Mana Cost: ** 70/75/80/85/90
  • **Cooldown: ** 18/16.5/15/13.5/12

#Ultimate - 'Crystal Cage ':
*Within 550 range, Sidia places six Crystal towers in a hexagon. The Crystal Towers begin to immediately shoot a prismatic bolt to the middle of the location. Each prismatic bolt deals 40/50/60(+10% AP) magic damage up to a total of 240/300/360(+60% AP). *
However, the bolts deal the most damage if the target is in the middle, while deals the least damage on the edge.

  • **Mana Cost: ** 100
  • **Cooldown: ** 90/80/70

#Concept Explanation

I’ve tried my best to have a unique kit and mechanic, like Riot always does. Sidia offers great offensive damage, though with only two abilities, but they can be devastating in the right hands. Using the Crystal Towers, the player experiences a new way of controlling the battlefield.

In the further explanation, I will show you a example how the Crystal Towers work. If you look below, Sidia shoots her Q, it goes straight to a Crystal Tower, which then will be redirected to the direction its facing. It bounces again and again and again, until it arrives Sidia.
http://s14.directupload.net/images/141107/zesnri34.gif
There are many other possibilities, like if you’re at mid lane, you theoretically could place a line of Crystal Towers that goes to the enemy red or blue camp and you could snipe it away if you want to. However, this is like I said theoretically, because normally the enemy ganker would find them, except if you are tricky. On the other hand, you’ll lose the key to victory on your lane and your pressure could be worsening.

  • Innate Passive Heals Sidia and ally Champions alike. Only a max of three times within 15 seconds is possible, otherwise it would end up being too powerful.
  • Her Q sends forth one projectile or a beam, dealing either damage in an instant or damage over time, but the damage over time is very mana hungry.
  • The W deploys crystal towers, so that Sidia can use them to attack her opponent from different angles.
  • E gives Sidia the ability to summon her crystal towers and deal upfront damage with basic attacks. This is for the situation that she gets forced into close combat.
  • Last, but not least - The Ultimate, which creates a great damage source, but only if the enemy is stunned or otherwise bound to the middle. If not, only a part of the damage will be applied.

Sidia is strong against long range Champions who are normally safe picks, because she can attack from different angles and force them to either run or not to last hit. On the other hand, Sidia can be very difficult when playing against strong close combat Champions, who can easily go on her and finish her off.

I like this idea I hope riot will make a champion like this one :) check my idea :P http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/l44wnzUm-idea-for-a-new-champion-hope-the-master-of-sorccery

wow a champion that actually requires thinking and advance knowledge. I love it please make this champion riot without the enviable dumb down would be preferred.

The Neverworld1 votes

Sadly, Riot never does a Champion Concept from the Community. I guess only if the Concept has 1000 upvotes, but this never happened ever. Anyhow, I hope atleast the mechanic with the crystal towers comes. I've seen some Concepts that inspired Riot, but I think there are better ones out there.

Shamont3 votes

I really luv this idea, riot should do it, id take them forever, but id be worth! this idea is supper cool an unqiue, ive always wanted a crystal laser champ, you have pretty much executed it perfectly. So she has a max of crystal towers on her W, but what if she wants the reposiition one of them, does she have to wait until one is destroyed, or until she uses E, or does the first one placed disappear when she places and extra one down. Id be cool if attacks that came from crystal pillars did extra damage, or maybe slowed. I also feel that her ults better balanced if all six pillars only shoot if she shoots one with AA or Q i like it better if she just has regular hands, but maybe with some crystal braces on her wrist to elbows, to keep the crystal theme, which i like, reminds me of prism break from skylanders. Giant gloves are for Vi! still great champ!

The Neverworld1 votes

Thanks!
Similar to Heimerdinger Turrets or wards, she destroys the previous towers in order to place a new. She could also use E to destroy all and place new ones.
About the Ultimate - It'll be problematic if six crystals are there, but only one of them reflects her Q. Even if she did, 5 are left unused

Felvyne2 votes

I won't enter in if she is up, op or something, but the concept... I love it. Maybe how she adquired the gloves is lazy and could be more worked. It's nice, overall.

The Neverworld1 votes

Thanks Kitty!

GoldenLeSpoink2 votes

I love the design! I suggest however to make her E able to stun an opponent that way her ult is not totally reliant on her allies. Maybe make her E, when someone is hit by the E's towers 5 times with a basic attack they are snared? Other than that, great work!

The Neverworld1 votes

Her E does already stun? When active, she can either recast or wait until all of her towers are destroyed. If neither of both is done, they will after the duration disappear.

And thanks!

True. I love the telenovel. I've seen many fantasy movies and series, but nothing has such a impactful story and well thought characters.

Dual Gloves. Or as we known them in my neck of the woods, "gloves."

Zephyrei1 votes

The playstyle is awesome! It would be confusing at first, but I can see the awesome plays that could be done. :)

The lore was a bit off to me. Why the hatred for Ez? Ez is kinda a small fish when compared to Jayce... or even Heimerdinger!

Since Ez uses a glove-ish weapon and Vi uses her giant robotic fists of fury, there is a need for a new weapon.

The exploration of mirrors is unique though! :D

The Neverworld1 votes

Because Ezreal has no rivals at all, I thought I could give him one he would never expect, because he tried his best to help the people. Now this was his undoing, as the more he helped, the more he created a dark side in the heart of others.

Kitsuki051 votes

This sounds incredibly too complex in its current iteration to be considered as a champion.

The Neverworld1 votes

Skillshot, Placement, Basic Attack Enhancer, AoE. I don't see anything too complex. Only the crystals can be irritiating, but I am not like others who prefer easy to play Champions. If you want to play good, learn it. And it's not that hard.

Kitsuki051 votes

ok, the fact that you have to place an ability, and direct it, and shoot your other ability for it to even be useful makes this kit way too complex. It may sound easy on paper, but there's going to be a lot going on during the game, that skill will be entirely useless outside of zoning.

The Neverworld1 votes

Same goes for Azir's Passive, which is entirely useless outside of destroyed tower remains. It's about the possibilities you can do, it's about what you can do.

You can place a network of crystal towers and attack everytime when the enemy team tries to engage. Other than that, the kit is based on damage Q, E enhaner and Ultimate AoE. Even if you don't place your W towers, the crystal towers from the ultimate will still be taken if you cast E.

Crystal towers dont give extra powers, they extend your range. You can play without them.

Kitsuki051 votes

To use Azir's passive you simply Right click... That is not complex whatsoever

The Neverworld1 votes

You were talking about crystal towers being useless outside of zoning. Please stop acting like a dick.

Kitsuki051 votes

They're useless because of the level of complexity involved in using them, this is something that'd need to be addressed if this character were designed.

Zetra132 votes

i have to disagree with you Taria. I love the idea of the towers and it allows you to create some cool moves (damage network/ healing network for allies) Even past poking and Zoning, they can be used for damage thanks to E. I can also see placing towers on purpose so you can use ult then e after for major damage. Idk, we need some more unique hard champs in LoL. There are easy champs and hard champs. We need more of the latter. imho

iateurdoughnut1 votes

Very interesing champ but extremely complex and difficult mechanics. Kinda like Faker Zed times 10

whiteknight2K11 votes

Hey bro I LOVE the champion concept idea!! Just a thing about her lore though.. what I thought would be a lot more interesting ( and perhaps a bit more sensual ;) ) how about envy for ezreal's attention? Like say high school stuff:

So she was the best student in Piltover with best grades.. until Ezreal came by and her grades started going down.. cuz she was lovestruck :) . Finally finding somebody who would be of equal (ish) intellect, skill and attractive looks as her. Spends time with Ez for some time and falls in love. Eventually finding in the diary (or other incident) where she finds he's in love with another student (Lux maybe??). Then comes her rage and envious hate. Then somewhere along in the diary she finds those coords and does something cunning to get even with Ez (like whats said, above finding an artifact or something try win Ez..) But obviously her jealousy and envy turns her into something fervid. As a champ Id say have the crazy "Id-do-anything-for love" attitude. Like a crazy "bich" attitude lol. Like those evil exes in movies haha.. sexyy

PS wouldnt be a bad valentines day champion for 2015 ;) for those surviving high school ahhhh!

PPS love the animations and her gloves but as previous commenters say she should a unique weapon of her own... what if she has a PENDANT - powerful and mesmerising - sends out the mirrors and lights!

The Neverworld1 votes
  1. Thanks!
  2. I do find the idea of love-hate situation interesting, but I can't imagine it with Ezreal. Ezreal always explores things, unveils the truth and so on - and Lux is a demacian girl, I'm pretty sure she never was in Piltover Academy, so it's kinda not working. But I might take that idea for a future Champion, so thanks!
  3. Did you know that Ezreal's "Glove" was originally a pendant/amulet? It was just too giant for a normal person (Probably belonged to a ascended being such as Xerath) and thus Ezreal used it as a glove. So technically, it's not old, even though they aren't really gloves. It's a wrap up of black roots that snares around her arm.
Shamont1 votes

I meant that all of the six crystals shoot together, but only if she puts the energy there its just a suggestion, u dont have to use it :)

The Neverworld1 votes

Oh now I know what you meant. It could work in theory, but'll be hard, because.. if she Q's, where? If she hits one, how comes that all six crystals shoot too? You know what I mean?

But I'll take this idea for another Champion. I'm sure I find something that could work. Thanks!

Shamont1 votes

Ok how about the ults crystals work the same as the regular ones except two shoots refract from the ult crystal that receives her AA or Q, so one shot goes to the center of the circle and the other goes to the next crystal until it finishes the loop, then for the cycle to repeat agian she shoot another bolt in a crytal or she could go rapid fire

The Neverworld1 votes

People already complain that she's complex only because she can put up five towers. I don't think it'll work xD

Zetra131 votes

maybe instead of allowing you to put in more Qs, make the ult to place the towers then one shot goes from the tower closest to Sidia then clock wise, shooting the beam in and then to the next tower. as it hits the next tower, that tower also shoots towards the center. Think of this being done in 1 sec (6 shots within 1 seconds) dealing some dmaage at first but coming super deadly after. The towers at this point act like regular towers to just reflect attacks. I just can't wait to use towers then ult and use E for that devastation XD

Shamont1 votes

ok just a suggestion, you dont even gotta think of using it, its ok Rammus

Shamont1 votes

Tha'd be super cool, like setting up ur towers in anticipation for your ult then shooting 1 beam/ Q in and you get like an instant laser grid, persist for like 6 sec as the energy is going through reflecting from tower to tower till it completes the loop. Of course she'd only have to put in one beam, or shot to get the ults effect. Did I get that right? Zetra?

Shamont1 votes

wait woops i see i didnt get it right nvr mind
