Champion Concept - Vyn, the Ultra-Sound
Vyn, the Ultra-Sound
Who is Vyn?
Vyn is a mid lane AP mage concept of mine with mobility and combos that have additional effects when used during one of his four tunes, or phases, from his passive. I've designed him out of my love for music and pray that Riot will add more musical champions (or at least skins like DJ Sona) to the game. However, this was not my sole purpose for developing this concept. I wanted to intertwine this character with Sona. She is silent, he can be loud. She is supportive, he can be aggressive. They could even be long lost twins. The biggest difference would be that he still has a voice others around can hear and perhaps these two grew up on opposite sides of the fence, which would explain the difference in personalities. I just thought another duo would be cool to see in-game.
"Where there is a beat, there is music!"
Passive - Change Rhythm: Every 8 seconds, Vyn changes which song he is listening to. There are four tracks, and each one applies bonus effects to his abilities for the first 4 seconds of the duration. Players will have an indicator above the champion icon indicating which phase he is in, which will be highlighted during the bonus effect's duration, and faded when inactive. Vyn will also have an colorful aura around him when bonus effects are applied, visible to all players. 1 - Grants increased movement speed (Yellow) 2 - Grants increased attack speed (Green) 3 - Using abilities will refund 20% of the mana cost (Blue) 4 - Deals bonus magic damage to enemy champions (Red)
Q - Dischord: Vyn sends out a wave of energy in a direction, damaging, slowing, and applying the debuff Offbeat for 4 seconds to all enemies hit. Damaging an enemy marked with Offbeat causes the debuff to activate, dealing magic damage to the target. Killing a unit within 3 seconds of marking them with Offbeat reduces this ability's cooldown by 1 second.
W - Major / Minor: Toggle Off: Attacking enemies with Offbeat restores 3% of Vyn's missing health. Toggle On: Consumes 30 mana per second. Attacking enemies with Offbeat will send energy bolts to two nearby enemies (prioritizing enemy champions), dealing the same base damage. These bolts can consume Offbeat to deal bonus magic damage, but will not send out additional bolts.
E - Replay: Vyn dashes in a target direction and launches 3 empowered basic attacks outward to nearby enemies, prioritizing enemies with Offbeat. For 5 seconds, players will have the option to reactivate this ability to dash once more for half the distance and send out 1 empowered attack, at half the cost.
R - Key Change!: Vyn slams the ground, sending out a wave of energy that damages, slows, and silences all enemies hit. Offbeat is applied to all enemy champions caught in the shockwave. Killing an enemy champion within 3 seconds of marking them with Offbeat reduces this ability's cooldown.

This champion was in my concept folder for a while, and I wanted to bring it out, tweak it, then share! I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about it, and especially if you want to see more duos in League!
