Champion Concept: The Living Current
Name: Stadix Position: Mid Role: Mage Type: Control
Origin Born in the city of Zaun, Stadix was a physics teacher who was poisoned by toxic waste in another of the many toxic events that would often befall Zaun's citizens. The poison would eat away at his brain until he was discovered by Viktor. He was then brought back to his lab and hooked up to a machine to cure him of the poison along with many others. Due to Viktor stealing Jayce's Shuriman crystal to help power his machine, Jayce arrived and destroyed the lab while fighting Viktor. Everything came crashing down, and Viktor believed all of his patients to be dead, but under that rubble lay Stadix, clinging to life. A single electric wire lay next to his head, producing electricity and electrifying him over and over. As painful as it was, this current was not strong enough to kill Stadix and he lay there for two whole days in constant pain. The electricity somehow ceased the poison's eating at his brain. When he reached his breaking point, Stadix let out a scream of frustration and pushed away all of the rubble away from him freeing himself. He had somehow gained incredible powers as a result of this traumatic experience. It was at a great cost though. Stadix's brain now produces electricity and it constantly shocks and electrocutes his body, so the pain he endured for those 2 days never stops. As a result, though he's technically not evil he is a tad mentally unstable and is prone to outbursts at times.
Appearance A man around 30, with white hair that constantly sticks up from the electricity. He has a crazed smile and his body randomly creates sparks around itself in-game. When he runs he rides an electric current, and when he walks he slumps over with his hand over his face. https://pm1.narvii.com/6508/76fd2d909b61355c4cec2371022d267b6d232f5c_hq.jpg Not that he should look like Rick, but the hairstyle in this pic would fit him well.
**Voicelines Examples: ** _ E = MC -ZAP- I can't think straight!_ This paaaaain! Random electrical zapping noises. Can I share this pain with you summoner... HAHAHAHA... Just one shock! (Quietly) My apologies... (Then screams!) I'm very unstable!
Abilities
Passive Current: Using abilities runs a current through other champions, positively charging allies and negatively charging enemies. Abilities leave electric sparks on the ground that can be stepped on to build current, and landing abilities on enemies also gives one negative stack of Current. This Current stacks up to 3 times, and having anyone near Statix, friend or foe with a maximum grants him bonus affects to his abilities. After receiving these bonus effects all current stacks are removed from the fully charged champion. If there are multiple champions near Statix with maximum stacks, only one of them will have their stacks removed. Prioritizing allies first, then the nearest champion. Allies can only gain stacks by stepping on the currents directly, and if they do, they can give him a free empowered ability, so it is beneficial for them to do so.
Q Electric Stream: Stadix shoots out an electric current in an AOE cone outwards from his body that electrifies all in its path, and leaving electric charges on the ground. It has moderate range and width, but great damage. Leveling increases its damage per level. Bonus: When an enemy or ally nearby has maximum stacks, significantly increase the range of this ability. Since the ability extends outwards in a cone shape, this range boost will also greatly increase its width as well, covering a large amount of the area in front of him.
W Static Cling: Stadix crouches and clings his hands and feat to the ground with electricity for up to 2 seconds. During this time he cannot be effected by crowd control and gains 5/10/15/20/25% damage reduction for the duration. If a nearby champion has maximum current stacks, the damage reduction will linger for 2 seconds after the effect has ended. This ability can be cancelled at any moment, so it is possible to use it at the right time to avoid some CC, then deactivate it instantly to get away.
E Static Shock: Stadix shoots out a small straight skillshot with moderate range and damage, and can hit up to two champions, ally or enemy. Hitting allies positively charges them and hitting enemies negatively charges them. If it only hits one or no enemies, it will leave 1 or 2 charges on the ground. When empowered, the ability resets his Q "Electric Stream's" cooldown.
R Attraction: Stadix uses the positive and negative charges on champions to pull them together or away from each other. If used on an enemy, he will push two negatively charged enemies away from each other, and if used on an ally he will pull an enemy towards that ally. The chosen ally can be himself since Stadix is always positvely charged. When used near a fully stacked current enemy, the ability also stuns the pushed enemy or enemies. This ability is powerful, since it could be used to change a team fight, either by separating an ADC from his support, or catching out an enemy and bringing them towards you and your team.
Will make a great control team fighting mage, but also has potential to be in the bot lane with his synergy with allied teammates. Being able to ult an enemy directly into a support's cc, for example, would be pretty powerful.
