Bragi, The Northern Myth
Hi guys my name is Eric and this is a champion concept I recently came up with!
Some notes before y’all read this: The reason I don’t have stats or damage numbers is because I simply do not know enough about the numbers behind the game to judge proper scaling and damage output. My purpose for making this champion concept is because I’m in a Northern myths and legends class in college right now and it came to my mind that league doesn’t really have any Northern based characters besides Olaf. So I would love to hear some feedback and ideas for what I could change or balance. This is a really early idea so it isn’t perfect by any means.
Bragi The myth of the North (Based off the Norse god Odin)
Bragi is a character of myth and legend among the people of the North. He was a great warrior long ago who wielded a legendary spear. (Need to work on lore)
Abilities: Passive – Draupnir (need a different name, maybe dripping gold) – Everything 9th minion Bragi receives double the gold for it. (Based on the fact that every 9th night the golden armband Draupnir multiplies into 8 other identical rings of equal weight and value).
Q – Rapid slash – Bragi uses his short sword to quickly slice at an enemy dealing physical damage reducing armor by a base amount. (Does not stack)
W- Thought and Memory – Bragi is a veteran warrior and has fought in thousands of battles and his attacks are now a natural response. When a player activates thought and memory you have the option to re use his Q or E.
E – Tatical maneuver – Bragi quickly maneuvers in a direction of the player’s choice (Much like a Vayne tumble). When Bragi is done with the maneuver he will gain a quick attack speed buff.
R – Piercing Legend – Bragi throws his mythical spear, which never misses (Lock on). An enemy hit by the spear while be impaled and pushed backwards taking physical damage. If target and spear are pushed into other opponents they will also be impaled. If target is pushed into wall they will become impaled to the wall for a short time (Rooted).
A side note on Bragis ultimate is the hit box for impaling other opponents is fairly small, only the tip of the spear. If only the targets character model hits other enemies while moving backwards they are simply pushed aside with no significant cc affects. Still trying to decide if the ultimate should scale off ad or be like pantheons ultimate with high base but scale off ap. If you guys didn’t figure it out this ability is based on Odin’s never missing spear Gungnir.
Works well with:
Viktor – After Viktors trap is upgraded it has the potential to pull multiple enemies into the center, allowing for a perfect Bragi ultimate.
Diana – Diana’s e is perfect for pulling a few enemies together for Bragi’s ultimate move.
Gragas – Gragas is a perfect match for Bragi because of his inate cc and lock down. Gragas could gank Bragis lane and get a stun off, allowing for Bragi to roll in a get some devastating attacks off.
Is weak against:
Pantheon – Pantheon’s passive negates Bragi’s main source of damage, which are auto attacks. Pantheon’s Q is also devastating to Bragis somewhat weak early game since is outranges all of Bragi’s abilities.
Teemo – Teemo’s range and blinds destroy Bragi’s capability to hurt Teemo. Even if Bragi got close, Teemo could simply use his speed boost to quickly get away.
