Iris Kandari

Name: Iris Kandari

Gender: Female

Occupation: Photographer

Residence: Piltover (when ever she isn't on tour)

Friends: Sona, Jhin, Ahri, Ivern (Beauty in song, art, self, and nature in that order) Enemies: Urgot, Trundle, Tahm Kench, Gragas(Ugly, no offense)

Lore: Iris Kandari was born in Piltover and at a young age found herself wandering into Zaun. Iris was disgusted, Zaun was toxic and dull. After that point onward, she spent every moment trying to make beautiful works where ever she went. However, she wasn't particularly talented in the crafts. Most often her creations would look nice but lacked structure and wouldn't last long. On her birthday, she got a camera and once she used it she knew what she could do. She knew that since she couldn't make art, she would just bring art back as a beautiful picture. Iris now travels the world in search of wondrous and beautiful places or artworks to spread the beauty of the world to those who can't go see for themselves.

Explanation on why Iris is "Friends" with Jhin:

Iris actually has never seen Jhin in person but she travels the world also looking for clues of who he is or

where she can find him. The story goes as follows, Iris actually arrives a single day after Jhin's preformance in Ionia in Jhin's extended lore. Iris only saw one thing that was related to Jhin during her time in Ionia, the metal traps shaped like flowers that were covering Jhin's escape. The flowers were beautiful but deadly and Iris realized this well. However, she was more captivated the more she looked at the deadly traps details. Using her camera, she takes a picture of one of the traps so not to set the trap off. Iris asks around the town if anyone knew who made the traps and she gets no where. She then leaves the next day however Shen hears word of a strange girl looking for some artist who could make metal flowers. Shen understands immediately that the flowers could only be Jhin's and a small amount of terror raises in Shen. He could follow the monster but he has to find this girl. Story can continue but I don't find it necessary for Iris

Camera: A special camera using a quartz lens from Ionia, is capable of splitting it's self into several more cameras by ejecting the lens from the body. This camera floats around Iris and is directly connected to her mind by using the devices in her eyes (What she sees is what the camera will take pictures of). I will refer to the cameras as "Eyes". The camera will be the main focus of her abilities.

Passive: The Eyes - Iris's camera, the Eye, floats around her character model passively and is controllable from her other spells and abilities. Passively, allies around Iris get an Eye after being around her for 5 seconds. Enemies Iris attacks also get an Eye (Damaging spells and auto attacks). All Eyes reveal what they are attached to Iris and her team. Eyes leave enemy champions after a short time, can be refreshed.

Q: Photo Shot - Allies with an Eye get healed (Heal is stronger the more Eyes Iris has active, Ward Eyes included) Enemies with an Eye are damaged and get stunned for 1 sec (+.1 second for every camera Iris has active, Ward Eyes included)

W: Quartz Watchers "Ward Eyes" - Iris is able to stick one of her Eyes to a wall that after some time will turn invisible. Eyes are permanent and have 3 health. Iris can have up to 4 "ward eyes". Any Eyes that hit an enemy instead of a wall deal some damage and the Eye sticks to the enemy for a short time

E: Flash- A medium ranged cone in front of Iris that damages and slows enemies hit by the ability

R: Paparazzi- A large aoe where the cameras start going wild and taking pictures of everything. Enemies are dealt heavy damage and allies get a movement speed buff that quickly decays. All enemies damaged are followed by a camera from Iris's passive.

Goal: What I was aiming for was a champion that was focused on getting as many cameras out as possible. The idea that Iris creates her own paparazzi with her cameras. Iris's Eyes are the reason she can do great things, however, she must be able to set them up and get enough of them to make her abilities feel powerful. Iris was planned to be a ranged support, providing more vision than any other support in the game and coming with a decent amount of crowd control.

Pros: 1.) She has the most vision coverage of any support in the game 2.) Good amount of cc and damage 3.) Great team fighter and anti-ganker(prevents enemy jungler from ganking effectively due to vision)

Cons: 1.) Failing to set up a large grid of Eyes(cameras) really impacts her negatively 2.) She is squishy because she can easily kite with her cc 3.) If a team seeks out her "ward eyes" they can cut her power in half but must act quickly for she will put them back up

Side Notes: I realize that I may not be the best at balancing or the best at making a kit that fits her theme and that is where I need you. She should feel like getting a lot of cameras is best because her other abilities become stronger with the more cameras she has. I cannot effectively make a kit that fits this. However, I believe your teams can and I hope to see what you could do with this. I wish I could provide art but I am only good at making ideas, not bringing them to fruition. Thank you, Kaden T.
