Leon Black··7 votes·5,137 views

Name: Ni' Vex, The shadow weaver

Role: jungler/adc/late game

Lane: jungle/bot

Range: ranged 550;

Movement: 340

Mana: 300-900

Passive: Shadow stealer.

Each skill Ni' Vex casts on an enemy or neutral monster gives them a shadow bud for 5 seconds, (minions and neutral monsters have the shadow bud for 3 seconds) if that enemy is killed within that time (by anyone) Ni' vex steals their shadow (no matter where they are on the map, champions and large monsters grand 2 shadows). Upon reaching 200 shadows and over, every 20 shadow counts give her 5 additional attack damage.

Q: shadow force (area of effect: 300 units; range: 500 units; cost: 40 mana; area cast; 10/9/8/7/6 second cooldown):

Ni' Vex casts a shadow wave to a target area that in the span of 2 seconds converges to her location (if she moves, the wave follows like ahri's q) damaging all enemies on sight for 30/40/50/60/70 physical damage (+30 ad) (+20 ap).

  • upon reaching 60 shadows: enemies that are hit get grievous wounds for 3s.

  • upon reaching 90 shadows: the area of effect becomes 400 units.

  • upon reaching 150 shadows: enemies that are hit are slowed by 45%.


W: dark shroud: (cost: 60 mana; self cast; 15/13/11/9/7 second cooldown)

Ni' Vex gains a spell shield.

* upon reaching 40 shadows: Ni' vex's next 3 attacks deal extra physical damage (+5/10/15/20/25% ad). 

* upon reaching 80 shadows: if the shield is broken by enemy spell she also gains: 10/15/20/25/30% movement speed and attack speed for the next 2/2.5/3/3.5/4s. the movement speed decays over time.

* upon reaching 130 shadows: if that shield is broken by enemy spell, she gains camouflage for 2/2.5/3/3.5/4s. 

__

E: shadow betrayal (target cast; cost: 55 mana; 450 range; 12/11/10/9/8 second cooldown)

Ni' vex throws a shadow attack onto the target damaging them for 40/45/50/55/60 magical damage (+45 ap) (+30 ad)

 * upon reaching 20 shadows: Ni' vex can recast this ability to jump onto the target, slowing them down for 10/15/20/25/30% and becoming their shadow for 3 seconds (invulnerable and untargetable) or until recast witch returns Ni' Vex to her original position. if the ability is not recasted, Ni' vex appears next to the target.
 * upon reaching 70 shadows: each second Ni' Vex is inside a target, she damages them for 20/30/40/50/60 magical damage (+22% ap) per tick. 

 * upon reaching 120 shadows: when Ni' vex can recast this ability to perform a small dash.

R: Shadow weaver: (Self cast; Area of effect: 1200; duration: 5s/6s/7s; 90/70/50 second cooldown)

in an area of 1200 units around her (that area follows her) Ni' Vex causes darkness that disables all the wards around her (so people outside of the area of effect has no vision on her team) and enemies inside the area of effect have the nocturne's paranoia effect.

 * upon reaching 55 shadows: Allies inside the area of effect get 20/30/40% burst of movement speed that decays over 5s from the moment they entered the area.
 *  upon reaching 130 shadows: Enemies and neutral monsters inside the area of effect get 10/30/50 physical damage (+25 AD) (+20 AP)
 * upon reaching 300 shadows: the area of effect is doubled in size.

Lore: in the ancient years Ni' Vex came from the underworld to cover earth in darkness with her shadows. The ionians though imprisoned her inside a box and hid it inside a catacombs. the same catacombs years later zed walked in and opened the forbidden box against his master's will, unknowingly releasing a shadow demon with no real form, just a shadow. Ni 'Vex. Zed stole some of her powers and for quite a while rendered her unable to appear. But now she is back, stronger than ever, ready to pledge the world in eternal darkness. The more she fights the stronger she gets, and with the ancient runes that kept her at bay lost in history, there is nothing to stop her.

Pretty sure the champ would just go top-lane and afk farm. Upon reaching 200 farm you can get 100 bonus AD, from there you just become Nasus 2.0. Except you're ranged. And have a 25% damage increase. Probably building full tank or attack speed.

100 is not 100 stacks as the minions do need to have been hit by an ability but i guess ill nerf it by increasing the amount of shadows needed

Or you could just make it every 5 shadows or something, and then upon reaching any 50 mark(50/100/150) you gain like 5 additional AD(half of what you got from 50 shadows, so 15 AD every 50 shadows or 60 AD at 200), or even other benefits. Especially since farming is supposed to die off more around late-game, so this would let her keep team fighting and not wondering off to farm while her team 4v5's.

Or at least make champions kills grant more shadow stacks.

i'd love to do it that way buy the thinking way is that each person has 1 shadow and Ni' Vex is stealing that shadow. i will though do the 5 additional ad per 15 shadows instead so on 200 shadows she'll have about 65 additional ad which is not that bad and that balances out her passive keeping the scaling of the effects

i do not want to make her very late game that is why all the effects have low requirement of shadows, the average person (including wooden division people) in a normal end game have 150 farm wether they are jungler or not, and the last 50 is usually because of the pushing rather than pure farming, now again not all her kills give her a shadow, it is easy to miss, especially in the early game with the big cool downs and the small damage. so with that in mind ill just keep the shadow requirements for the effects as they are.

Champion kills and big monster take downs will grand 2 shadows instead of one, and that is only so that people can focus more on ganging and less on farming, even tho again, each person should have only one shadow, but it just works better.

the shadow buds on minions and neutral monsters last only 3 secs making it harder to get their shadow wilst on champions it lasts for 5, again making it more preferable to gang instead of farm.

Really good idea, liked the ult a lot. I don't know about the lore though, sure I don't all of zeds lore, but adding in Ni 'Vex might change up Zed's lore too much. I also have a problem with the shield on the E. She already has a shield, though not the same it is still a shield, on her W. Also the E already gives her invulnerability, so you might want to rethink the shielding on the E. But, hey, I don't know I would have to see it in game to see how much it really affects the outcome of fights. Other than those two points, I really like the idea and hope Riot see this and implement this champ into the game. Also, props to the music, it added to the champ when reading about her.

it doesn't change zed's lore, i fixed ni' vex's lore to fit his XD

thank you for the suggestions, yea maybe the shield thing is a bit much

EDIT: the shield is gone, she now gained a small dash (just like aatrox's e but no special effects)

On a different note, i do have the feeling that RIOT does take into account our suggestions. Remember when they reworked Ryze's ult? a few months before that, i had posted that idea for Ryze's brother (the post does not exist anymore, i think they get deleted after a while). I want to believe that Riot actually took an active look into it and thought of it as a good idea :D (or it was just a massive coincidence targeting the pretty much same champion with the same ult lol )
