Omen was supposed to be the 82nd champion in league of legends but was canceled because of problems in development. I feel that Omen was not able to be adjusted to fit in the current meta at the time. Now its Season 6, we have Gnar, Velkoz, RekSai

and other champions that have been released that would fit into the same category as Omen during Season 1 & 2.

I really like the potential of a ranged auto attack APC and I feel that Omens character model fits that role perfectly.

APC Auto Attack focused - Main Role Mid Lane

Passive Auto Attacks apply spikes to champions. When 5 stacks have been applied a champion the stacks explode for 50 - 250 (based on level) true damage Omen Q - shoots Spikes in a line (Like a Viktor laser). Targets hit are slowed and grievous wounds are applied. (Spikes last for 5 seconds) Omen W - When activated gives him a Movement Speed buff and makes his ranged attack do damage over time. Omen E - Omen Sends a single to his spikes which detonate, Champions standing on spikes are then knocked up and slowed. Omen R - Uses his tail to launch a killer spike that pierces and does true damage range 1k

Update Omen R - Uses his tail to launch a killer spike that pierces and does true damage range 1k When a champion dies to Omens killer spike, the champion explodes leaving spikes in the surrounding area. (This would work with his (E) for combo potiential)

Passive: Vel'Koz passive Q: Viktor laser W: Almost the same as Miss Fortune's attack speed ability E: Cho'Gath rupture R: Sounds similar to Jinx's SMDR.

There you go. As for the niche of "AP Marksman" , it is kinda full. Kayle, AP Varus, Cass (kinda), Teemo, AP Jax, and others can do large amounts of auto-based (or twin fangs) magic damage. As far as visuals go, Omen is unappealing. Not ugly: Urgot is ugly. Omen is just a red blob with limbs and spikes.

Why do people like Omen so much? It boggles the mind.

No, he was cancelled because they didn't think he was thematically/visually hitting the mark. He was ranged champion that looked like he was melee which, while having a cool design, did not have anything that says "this is a cool champion with an interesting personality" versus just being a generic (if cool looking) minion.

Well we have already two apcs more or less with Teemo and to some extent Azir

overall Omen needs something more outstanding for him. he might look cool,but thats about it. Having spikes is simply nothing special and thats pretty much the most outstanding aspect of the champ(which is kinda reflected in your kit,where he only uses spikes)

I asked about:

  1. How you want to differentiate him from other champions (Gameplaywise)
  2. How/Or if you would change his visuals (since a lot of people interpret him differently)
  3. How big of an AOE and delay the E has
  4. Why his E has such a short delay and isn't part of his Q (leaving one ability slot open for something new)
  5. If you are aware that a lot of his abilities already exist
  1. Explained that already.
  2. He looks like a ranged creature from his appearance, he is from the void. He eats stuff so yes he's going to have claws & a big mouth. If Riot wants to change his appearance as long as they leave spikes on back & on tail, I don't really care. The main part is he would be a unique champion.
  3. Probable 1/2 the size of a kogmaw E
  4. Um that doesn't really make sense. If you get hit by his Q, obviously you are going to walk out of it even if slowed. You don't want to have an ability take 1 second when it relies on another ability to set it up. 0.25 seconds is more than enough delay maybe boost it up to 0.5.
  5. No I'm not aware of any ability that shoots spikes and denotates causing a knockup. No I'm not aware of any that gives a speed boost plus damage over time for ranged champions No I'm not aware of any champion that uses spikes to combo and knock someone up. Yes I am aware that 30-40% of the adcs have long ranged ultimates same with the one that was just released last week.

Did you even read my last post? I completely destroyed the last champion comparing each of his skills is merely a buffed version of something already exists. Then when someone commented, it's not "unique" Look at Yasuo & Reksai.

Two champions have a drag and drop feature in league of legends. That is what his Q would be, I used the viktors laser as a reference because many people wouldn't understand. His Q is not a Viktor laser or a rumble ultimate but would be designed as a drag and drop ability.

Yes his W is a speed boost with damage over time, that's not that amazingly original but a majority of champions have the same thing. Would you rather me make up an impossibly broken W that states Omen could jump on walls becoming untargetable for a given set time? That's completely original but its beyond broken.

Chogath Q is ranged and has a huge radius. Would very simple for a combo ability to work.

Q lands + 0.25-second delay then E activates causing a knock up.

What if I told you that Omen is a melee champion? ;P Omen's main problem is that his visuals don't really feel appealing for a lot of people (lack of theme, lack of personality)

About your proposed kit: Lot's of ADC with stack passive already and this one doesn't add anything new Q is the most interesting ability of the bunch, good work there W is just boring it definetly could use some interactions with the rest of the kit E is useless on it's own, which feels weird (only other ability I can think of is Zilean's W) and depending on the delay OP (flash is not counterplay) R what is the range ? Regardless it feels a bit unoriginal
