[Champion Concept] Duke, the Royal Steed
Demacia has some of the best steeds known to Runeterra. They are bred to be the fastest, smartest, and most loyal companions. And then, there's Duke...
Gameplay
A Pure Black Horse in armor, Duke is ready to get in the fight, and bring an ally with him!
Passive - Giddy Up!
Allies may Right Click Duke when he is unmounted to mount him. When an ally is mounted on Duke, he may move around freely, bringing the ally with him. The Ally may still cast abilities and Auto Attack, but may not control duke. An ally can dismount from Duke by right clicking him again. Allies using movement abilities while mounted on Duke will dismount allies instantly.
When an Ally is mounted on Duke, enemies must kill Duke before they can target the Ally. However, 70/60/50/40/30% (Levels 1/4/8/12/16) of the damage dealt to Duke is dealt to the Ally as well. Allies may only target Duke as well while he is mounted.
