Hi, it's me again, the guy who doodles his designs instead of doing fancy pancy level 18 artwork. Took a break from uploading stuff as I was on holiday (and also playing tons of Bard in LoL).

Previous Concepts: Arecibo: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/NEcocLV6-my-first-champ-concept-arbo-the-visitor?comment=0003 Pyrina: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/cpUOxyvE-champion-concept-pyrina-piltovers-core

Preface (and Basic Lore): For this champion, I wanted to create a character thats basically a friend/ally to Rammus ... ok. Like the Armadillo, Pilus was affected by the magic light thingy (in his old lore) to give him his abilities , has his own armour and speaks in simple english. Pilus travel all through Valoran, with an enhanced tongue that contains it's own 5 senses to allow Pilus to observe the world through the different flavours that everything has.

Naming: Pilus

  1. Play on words to sound like 'Pile us' - like Rammus 'Ram us'
  2. Pilus comes from the word Pilosa - The species group for the anteater

Role: Plays like Rammus, a tank that can return significant damage back and disrupt enemy teamfights

**Quotes: Champion Select: **

(Could use a something better with your input guys)

Joke: Animation: Tongue becomes hand and flips Pilus on his underbelly or backside like a spatula

The joke is important for a skill I will explain later and the animation comes in 2 variants: backside to belly and vice versa

Taunt: Animation: His Tongue becomes a hand and does the finger taunt

Movement:

  1. "Sweet"
  2. "Spicy"
  3. "Mmmmm"
  4. "Delicious"

(Still requires more ideas)

Special Quotes:

  1. Buying Thornmail - "Yeouch"
  2. Buying IceBorn Gauntlet - "Chilly"
  3. Attacking Enemy Zac for first time - "Plain" or "Jelly"
  4. Attacking Enemy Lulu for first time - "Purple?" - you know the reference
  5. Attacking Enemy Gangplank for first time - "Sour" referencing the Oranges Gangplank has
  6. Attacking Enemy Sona for first time - "Milky" if you get my drift
  7. Attacking Enemy Diana for first time - "Cheesy" like the moon is made of cheese - also ironic cause Diana's joke are not cheesy
  8. Attacking any Enemy champion with Poision abilities for first time - "Blegh!"
  9. Attacking Enemy Nami for first time - "Sushi"
  10. Attacking a Taunting Enemy - "Salty"

(More Quotes await your input guys)

Recall: his tongue becomes a hand and starts searching the ground, then starts scratching his head with the tongue hand

Dance: Nothing yet (need your feedback)

Uses HP and Mana

Attributes: Primary: Tank ; Secondary: Fighter

Stats: I'm not a supreme numbers man so I avoid applying numbers to damage, ranges and stats. You can decide them if you guys want to.

Abilities:

Passive Ability - Armour Lick

  • Autoattacks reduce armour for a % amount after 3 hits
  • Further autoattacks reduce movement speed by %

Active abilities

Q - Tongue Sling

  • comes in 2 parts
  • Part 1 fires a hook skillshot that grabs the first enemy in line and keeps them there for around 0.5 seconds
  • need to press Q again to activate Part 2
  • Part 2 Involves moving the enemy to another location where your cursor is when you press Q
  • Like a Syndra Force of Will and a blitzcrank hook
  • Downside is that Pilus has to remain still during both parts

W - Sloth (like being lazy, not the animal)

  • Skill depends on the side flipped over to in the Joke animation
  • If flipped to the tummy showing - Taunt CC for around 1 second
  • If flipped to the backside showing - Heals % health for around 2 second
  • Pilus again remains motionless throughout skill duration

E - Scaled Fur

  • tufts of fur tighten to become scale - changes the model texture to look like a pangolin
  • Less damage taken to auto attacks and skills hitting his body
  • Attacks that are facing or on his tail have % damage returned to enemy (so tail gets its own hitbox for the skill duration)

R - Essence Absorb

  • Grabs and Suppresses enemies in a cone AoE with one big hand-tonuge swipe (see picture)
  • This suppression however doesn't let teammates attack the enemies - only Pilus does damage to them
  • after duration, enemies are thrown a distance away giving them the knockup cc
  • Lifesteal HP with % depending on how many enemies grabbed
  • Like Rammus, it can be used on a tower with a different effect and animation
  • Against Tower, Pilus grabs the tower with his Tongue-hand and grabs it tightly, crushing it with damage over time and reducing the tower's armour and magic resis - no lifesteal -if enemies are near tower and pilus ults, enemies are first priority
  • and yet again, Pilus remains motionless during entire skill duration

Good against and Counters

  • I don't know yet

Skins -I don't know yet

So guys, what do you think. Give me some input please and check out my other conepts

I like the tattoos and geometric markings.

This champion is FAR too much like rammus, in the fact that they both only way one word for their replies, the face that he is a anteater vs armadillo and his E is basically just a reused rammus W

I think this is really cool! As a direct ally to Rammus, I don't think it's too bad that their kits and appearances are somewhat similar. Kha'zix and Rengar have somewhat similar kits and there was a lot of backlash about that when they were released so close together, but now nobody even seems to notice or care.
