“And I thought crabgrass was crabby.” - Ezreal, the prodigal explorer

The next time you venture near the deep jungles of Runeterra, beware of where you step. For the roots you step on may snare you, massive leaves will grab you, thorns may sting you, but the end is all the same, with the massive jaws of Venox, the Flesheater eating you alive and slowly digesting you for days on end. An abomination with the simplistic goals of growth and sustenance, Venox will blindly target any creature that it can reach for and chase after those who are fortunate enough to escape.

Venox was created when Kog’maw first arrived from the Void. Spores from the Void sprinkled across the jungle floors, seeping into the ground around a group of small plants. In a short period of time, the spores had grown within one of the plants, weaving though the roots and up the stem, and caused the plant to grow way too rapid, to the point where the sun wasn’t enough to support the ever growing plant. It soon got to sizes where it was able to catch and eat animals that were unfortunate enough to cross it’s path, those who struggled would be stung with it’s multiple paralyzing thorns to prevent their escape.

On one of his excursions through the Plague Jungles, Ezreal came across the Plant monster, now the size of a large bear. It quickly attacked the champion with a fury of thorns, teeth and a massive spray of stomach acid. The young explorer narrowly escaped with his life with the use of his abilities, but he was far from done with with Venox, his taste still lingered in it's mouth. Still craving the young explorer’s flesh, Venox uprooted itself from the forest floor and crawled after Ezreal, fooling the scent of his blood. Venox had followed him to the Institute of War, where several mages awaited for it’s arrival and captured it on the stop. Being a strange phenomenon, the League took intrigue in Venox. To further study the creature’s habits, Venox was released into the League of Legends, where the scents of the champions captivated it, but one stood out above them all, Ezreal.

I was writing a response to this earlier, but it somehow was deleted. TL;DR, here are my thoughts. The theme is ok, the abilities in theory somewhat strike me as a plant monster. I'd suggest checking out other champions in League of Legends for reference as this needs a few minor and quite a few major changes. Let's begin.

His health is a tad higher than the majority of champions in the game, but it fits the plant monster theme. However, +90 health each level is simply ridiculous. I'd make it +80 as that is the current maximum I believe. His Attack Damage is laughably high, as I've never seen Attack Damage over 56. Definitely change that. The armor is fine, but the magic resistance is always 30 for champions, and +1.25 per level for fighters/tanks. Secondly, his movement speed is a bit too low, even for a giant hulking monster. I'd change it to 335 or 340.

No offense but the passive is practically useless. 25% movement speed when entering the brush isn't bad, bt it doesn't scale per level, and you forgot to include the movement speed increase's duration. However, all champions in brush are stealthed, so it makes little difference. Could be useful if a teammate baits and Venox ganks them.

I like the Q, or at least I would, if it did much. A pull is useful in a teamfight, as is a low. However, you once again forgot to include a duration and this ability should do some damage. I'd say remove the slow and make the damage something like 40/80/120/160/200 (+70% Ability Power) or something to that effect, since it's your only damaging ability.

The W needs a major rework. A shield that strong is a bit much, but the root lost me. Being rooted for that long a time will definitely wear down the shield, especially if attacked by enemies. And 1% health is pointless. If you had 5,000 health, that's only 50 health returned. The cooldown is also a bit long. How does this sound: Venox shields himself for 100/150/200/250/300 (+60% Ability Power) for 3 seconds. At the end of the duration, Venox is healed for the remainder of the shield's strength. If the shield had 100 shield strength left, you'd be healed for 100 health, and so on.

This ability should be the slow and only a slow, in my opinion, but some damage wouldn't hurt. Kind of boring to be honest, and it is insanely cheap to use. Also, I have no idea what a scattershot is; do you mean a cone? I personally think it oculd use some range as well, maybe 800.

Now, for the ultimate. Let me stop you at ten seconds. It may not seem like a long time outside the game, but 10 seconds in the game is a LONG time. Reducing armor by 50% and increasing his attack damage by 50% isn't that bad, but...why would it increase his own damage? It seems like Kog'Maw's caustic spittle with more range. Once again, you forgot to include a duration for this and all your effects.

TL;DR: Venox has the possibility to one day be a great champion concept, but right now he needs some reworking. This is just my opinion, do with it what you will.

Not a bad design, but first and foremost. IS that tank/assin. Isn't something the game can have. So he gets really tanky. has a grab. slow. so on, and he does damage. Not gonna make it. Look at diana. She is by far the tankiest assin, and rito has left her in the shadows since last season. Another champ that provides tank and massive assin lv damage. It wont happen again. Riot learned their lesson. Assin lv damage and tanky. They dont go together. If so all we would have is tanky assins. Trying to survive some burst while bursting. Its just silly. The tag needs changed. Tank/support or tank/mage would fit better.

Also this looks like the plant from Final fantasy. The one who did all the debuffs at once. Thats what it is a marlboro. from final fantasy lol. Nice job minus what was said above though. Nice char design! GL man!
