-Champion Concept- Luger, The Stray Bullet
Thought this pretty sweet champ up before hitting the sack. His concept makes for him to be a pretty clutch AOE marksmen, he's complex enough to were mastering him would be very rewarding, but simple enough for most players to pick him up and do well. So let's begin with a character summery then we'll go into his skill overview.
Luger was born in Bilgewater and abandoned by his mother who was a pub wench. In his infancy he was picked up by a band of pirates. Growing up with the pirates, Luger learned a variety of skills and experienced many things. Unlike the other pirates he wasn't much of a brute, so hand to hand combat wasn't his forte. He utilized a single pistol with a long barrel for its precision, power, and distance making shots. As his combative skills developed he became a more agile, intuitive, and focused marksmen. Fighting among pirates and other rapscallions at sea also meant he had to fight instinctively and with cunning trickery. After many years he became bored of his occupation as a pirate and began a more glory filled career as a hired gun. Soon after taking on many foes he desired a better challenge for his primed and honed skills as a shooter. He sought out the League and joined of his own volition.
Pretty cool, huh? Alright let's take a look at his skills.
PASSIVE: Dueling Draw/Holster Every 3 seconds when Luger is not currently attacking an enemy or neutral unit he will holster his pistol Upon Luger's first basic attack of drawing his pistol he gains a significant amount of attack speed
Q: Trick Shot Luger fires a long and penetrating shot that does less damage as it goes through more enemies This shot bounces up to three times when hitting terrain instead of passing through it Trick Shot's damage increases with every bounce
W: Caltrops Luger throws down a plot of caltrops dealing damage upon every caltrop hit
E: Vigilance Luger's keen instincts allow him to dodge incoming projectiles for a very short duration Whenever an attack is dodged Luger gains a short burst of movement speed (This does not apply to area of effect skill shots, or point and click spells)
R: Bullet Bomb Luger places an explosive that lasts up to five minutes He may hold up to 2 bombs at a time and place up to 4 Luger may set off the explosive with an auto attack or with Trick Shot When the explosive detonates it does area of effect damage The explosive force pushes back an enemy unit a short distance and slows for a short duration Passive: The cooldown of Vigilance is increased by a percentage when Luger's pistol is holstered
So that's Luger. I felt he was a really cool champion design that I wanted to share with the League community. I hope you enjoy him as much as I did when conceptualizing him.
