"The Magically Marvelous, Magnificent Magnifico"

LORE

"Come one, come all, it's about to begin!" "Come see the magic- step right in!" Yelled the loud little man with a pointed white grin. "An introduction of the production you're about to see" "A spell-tacular, spec-caster greater than we!" "Now playing, portraying- the star of the show" "No waiting, or debating we're ready to go!"

Magnifico is a renowned magician, known to all. He loves entertaining people with the noble art of illusion. He eventually grew bored with his show, and decided to bring his talents to the greatest show of them all- the famed League of Legends.

Friends Annie TwistedFate

Enemies Draven Shaco

Dialogue

When Walking: "Let the show begin." "Show time!" "Sure, why not?"

Joke: "Not the gut!"

Joke interaction with Draven: "Draven leads the minion parade with his pretty baton."

Taunt: "Now you see me, now you don't"

Taunt interaction with Twisted Fate: "I'll show you a card trick."

Interaction with Shaco, upon Shaco's Ultimate: "You're nothing but cheap tricks."

Interaction with Annie, upon Annie's Ultimate: "Did you win him at the fair?"

Basic Information

Role- Support Secondary Role- Mage Secondary Bar- Mana

Magnifico currently has no ability/stat ratios. Whatever works with his kit is fine with me.

Abilities

Passive- The Magnificent Magnifico

When Magnifico casts an ability, he gains a stack of Magnificence and is granted 5 gold. For each stack of Magnificence, Magnifico and nearby allies gain bonus Ability Power. When Magnifico reaches 5 stacks, his next ability gains an additional effect and grants him 10 gold.

Q- Abra Kadabra

Magnifico polymorphs target enemy champion for a short duration. Magnificence: For the duration, polymorphed target is immobilized and performs a dance.

W- Misdirection

passive- When Misdirection comes off cooldown, Magnifco's next basic attack stuns target for a short time.
active- Magnifico blocks the next enemy ability. This ability disappears after a short time. Magnificence: If Magnifico blocks the next enemy ability, Misdirection's cooldown is reset to .1 seconds.

E- Now You See Me, Now You Don't

Magnifico throws a curtain over target ally, or himself, then quickly removes the curtain. Target becomes invisible for a short time, and gains bonus Movement Speed that dissolves after the duration. Basic rules of invisibility apply. Magnificence: Duration of invisibility is doubled.

Ultimate- Magic Box

Magnifico summons the Magic Box to target location. Magnifico, or allies, may activate the Magic Box at close proximity to hop inside. While inside the Magic Box, champions are untargetable for a short time, and a large radius appears on screen. Clicking anywhere within the radius will instantly teleport champion to target location. Remaining in the box will cause the champion to appear where the box disappeared. Magnificence: The Magic Box looks much more magical. The radius is increased slightly, and champions that teleport out of the box have some health restored.

Not a huge fan either, but I guess I will need to explain why:

  • "Stupid" Name... Could work if his kit actually fit that characterization
  • No stats given... CD and some basic info about his abilities would be enough
  • Extra gold passive (since no CD is given on his abilities I don't know how powerful it really is, but with 45% CDR it's probably a lot of money)
  • His W seems very weird and yould use some clarification I guess that the CD is low since you ideally want to have the stun when you fight an enemy champion, but that would mean that the spellshield would also be ready every few seconds which seems quite unfair.
  • Targetable stealth and Teleport... Champion with stealth are balanced around their stealth (the same thing applies to champions with high mobility) Imagine any support or Juggenaut suddenly appearing in your group

Not a bad concept ,but it definetly needs more work

The cooldown for his "shield" is only reset to .1 seconds if he uses it while at full stacks. And he has to cast 5 abilities to have full stacks. It's like Annie- except her next ability always stuns. I don't know any good magician names- I imagine those old circus posters, where the magician had a long name of adjectives, and it was all alliteration. He wouldn't be ale to spam his abilities- except his spell blocker if it's "magnificent". Cooldowns would probably be around 10-15 seconds- but like I said, I'm not good with values and ratios- so I left out mana costs, cooldowns, etc. I figure- even if I DID put them- and by some miracle, Riot makes him- they would most likely alter whatever values I do put. His kit is what I imagine a magician would be. Targetable invisibility, and a teleporting box seem pretty crazy- but considering his lack f damage output, I think it's a fair trade.

  • But if he doesn't have 5 stacks the ability has a normal CD and the empowered AA could happen anytime in lane, which seems weird to me. Maybe move the stun passive to his empowered ability so there actually is some counterplay to it.
  • Not a problem with the name itself, but it doesn't fit him in my opinion. He is a full utility support that hardly does anything on his own. I think the name would fit if he was more about tricking opponents than supporting allies.
  • Yes Riot would change it around, but I would prefer to get a bit more info to better understand his kit. Since some stacks decay and some don't I didn't know if you had a spam ability for example to keep the stacks going.
  • There are a lot of other abilities that could fit into a stage magicians kit and I personally would prefer it if he played a bit differently. As already mentioned: It doesn't matter if he deals no damage when he can teleport any low mobility champion into my team.

Hope I cleared everything up, if you have any other questions just ask summoner 31

Well, I'll try creating a new page with some number values. I'm going to keep the name "Magnifico" so you can fin it.. or I'll just post a link to this. Whatever works. Thanks for the feedback :)

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/3ejA3PRg-champion-concept-the-great-magnifico-master-illusionist I hope you like the changes. I made it so he doesn't get gold unless he as full stacks. And I axed the stun.

Targeted stealth seems cool, rest of the kit seems meh though.

Gold passive makes you want to sit in base with max CDR, spamming the W and E. Doesn't feel magician-y either. Polymorph is already on Lulu, seems fine though annoying to face. Misdirection is terrible. It's at least spellshield+stun. And Sivir's spellshield is on like a 22 second CD level 1. The CD would have to be so long you'd almost never get to use it. Magic Box means you could shove your bruiser directly to the back line with a long range Flash. Too OP with certain comps, you'll just win every teamfight by sticking someone like a Galio where they shouldn't be able to get to. Most of ADC skill is positioning, which is completely meaningless when someone can long range Flash on top of you.

I think the targeted stealth could work. Maybe have it as an ultimate, and definitely give it a global sound effect or something. A lot of the existing stealth assassins (Rengar, Kha'zix, Shaco) are pretty much the worst people to find on top of you suddenly anyway. And being able to see that Magnifico is on the enemy team, buying a pink, and laying it down in response seems cool. Just don't have it have a short CD, cause that'd be just annoying.

I see your point with the gold accumulation. Maybe, if he can't gain gold while at base? His shield would have a long cooldown, given its buff from his passive. Maybe stunning strikes are a it much, but I want to keep with the theme of "magician". Like- slight of hand- you don't see what's coming... you know? Have any ideas for changing it? I know LuLu has polymorph- but why should she be the only one? And if you think about it- Thresh's lantern does practically the same thing that Magic Box would do. But since its his ultimate, I needed something that improved this mechanic.

For the gold, it's more that nobody else can really do anything about it. You can stop Twisted Fate from getting CS, and prevent Draven from getting kills, but I can't really do anything about you spamming abilities. Also, you're rewarding spam over using abilities wisely. And the benefit of gold over long periods of time is pretty boring. If you get that extra Cloth Armor at 15 minutes, it just feels like you don't have a passive for the first 15 minutes of the game, and then there's a point after which it just does nothing.

Maybe it'd be cool to have a displaced image; sort of like Shaco, but instead of a movable clone, you'd just get an image that follows your movements and looks exactly like you. So if I put down the pink, I can see you've used it, but otherwise I don't have a clue until I try to hit where I think you are and suddenly you appear somewhere slightly to the left.

Polymorph is fine, just meh. It's targeted instant hard CC on a basic ability. I'd hate it more if Lulu didn't already have it. Not fun to play against, but you need something to take down the assassins.

Thresh lantern can only go to where Thresh is; Magic Box lets you go directly to the center of the enemy team. It's something more like a Tahm Kench ult, but that's balanced by a long cast time.
