[Doodle Champion Concepts] Pilus, The Anteater
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
- Play on words to sound like 'Pile us' - like Rammus 'Ram us'
- 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:
- "Sweet"
- "Spicy"
- "Mmmmm"
- "Delicious"
(Still requires more ideas)
Special Quotes:
- Buying Thornmail - "Yeouch"
- Buying IceBorn Gauntlet - "Chilly"
- Attacking Enemy Zac for first time - "Plain" or "Jelly"
- Attacking Enemy Lulu for first time - "Purple?" - you know the reference
- Attacking Enemy Gangplank for first time - "Sour" referencing the Oranges Gangplank has
- Attacking Enemy Sona for first time - "Milky" if you get my drift
- Attacking Enemy Diana for first time - "Cheesy" like the moon is made of cheese - also ironic cause Diana's joke are not cheesy
- Attacking any Enemy champion with Poision abilities for first time - "Blegh!"
- Attacking Enemy Nami for first time - "Sushi"
- 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

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
