Poco - The Wrestler of Hope
Hello,
Summary Poco is a wrestler who uses ropes to make moves and combos. He relies only on physical strength and ally cheering!
Background Poco could not practice magic no matter how hard he tries. While most of his friends could fight with magic, he was the joke of the village for failing to use it (along with being somehow "fat"). They mocked him whenever they saw him, and sometimes practiced magic on him! He grew up pretty depressed and ashamed, he had a kind heart and could not even fight them back. His mother was making clothes for him, and she always told him: "As long as you have a mother who loves you and takes care of you, you are better than everyone". One day a kid practiced a fire spell on Poco, it was not the pain that made Poco angry, but it was the fact that the spell burned Poco's favorite shirt. He punched the kid in the chest and sent him flying 20 meters in the air. The other kids ran in fear, and since that day, the kids believed Poco had inner "fist magic" and began to avoid him. Poco did not want enemies, he wanted the kids to be his friends. He found a plan to become popular, to become a "fist fighter" (later he knew it was called wrestling!). He pretended to leave the village and asked his mother to make him a nice mask, so nobody will be afraid of him again and also the kids would not recognize him and flee in terror fearing his revenge. Poco became a good wrestler with sportsman like manners. He gained more allies than he would dream of, and the crowds loved him and cheered for him. Poco could fight against mages, monsters and basically anything that could be fought. He always laugh at insults, and would never get pissed or teased, except for one thing: Mocking people for being weaker or for having weak powers. He believed everyone is strong, whether it is inner or outer strength. He gave hope to weak kids and fighters by telling them his story and teaching them his "secret moves" (everyone knows his moves, but they are still secret!). Poco joined the league to be an example of physical strength, and show the world that magic, mana and sorcery are not necessary for a fighter to win.
Appearence Nacho Libre, Pretty accurate imo.
Abilities Passive - Symbol of Hope Poco must be a symbol of hope! That's why he gets bonus AD depending on how many allied units around him (double effect for each champion around Poco). Poco also builds "momentum" when he attacks or uses an ability (He do not call them spells, of course!) making his next hit deal bonus damage = % of momentum. He also losses momentum when his dash or attack are interrupted/stopped.
Q - Ring Ropes Poco throws two pillars with 3 ropes linking them (like ropes of WWE arenas). The ropes could be destroyed by enemies after few seconds of being thrown. Poco can use Q while moving or dashing without affecting his movement. CD increases for each recast, to a total of 3 ropes at a time. If an ally passed over the ropes, they will get a small momentum (move speed) for a few seconds.
W - Shoulder Dash Poco dashes to an enemy champion, stopping at the first enemy or wall hit and dealing damage to the enemy (no momentum is built). He can dash to a rope, building momentum on the way. At the moment of impact with the ropes he can recast W again to dash to an enemy champion or a rope. W could be recast until Poco hits a champion.
E - Taste my Belt Poco jumps and interrupts enemy hits with his belly, ignoring part of the damage. Poco can cast E at the moment of impact with a rope, making him jump in the air and deal damage = base damage + momentum in the selected area.
R - "The Finish" Poco throws 4 pillars with ropes instantly, creating a wrestling ring in the selected area and jumps to the middle of the ring. Enemies in the area are slowed (movement and attack speed slow) and cannot move past the ropes (allies can jump over the ropes). Ropes can be destroyed after a brief duration of the cast. Poco dashes to a rope (dealing damage = current momentum), then a ghostly image of Poco appears on another rope (where he will dash next, it is an indicator like Draven's indicators which show where his axe will fall). If Poco pressed W at the moment of impact, and targeted the indicator correctly he will dash to the next rope, building momentum. Poco can do a total of 5 dashes, with each dash requiring faster reactions than the previous one. At the fifth dash, the indicator will show Poco in the air (right above the middle of the ring). If Poco pressed E at the right timing of impact with the ropes in the 5th dash, he will jump in the air and drops on the enemy, dealing double E damage + Momentum (full momentum if timing was correct) to all enemies (and making a pretty powerful noise too!). If a rope was destroyed during the ult, Poco will immediately jump in the air and Belly Slam (without need to cast it manually), dealing base damage + current momentum as physical damage.
Gameplay Example Poco can use Q and W to confuse enemies, dashing from a rope to the other. He can use them to chase enemies by casting Q then E then E at impact then Q in the middle of the dash ... and so on, imagine Lee Sin without CD on his wards and his dash and chasing an enemy. He can use ropes to help allies escape while blocking the enemy's path. His ultimate is challenging to cast, and could be easily countered but offers high damage and a good escape for his teammates. Poco's passive makes him a good dueler (increased damage the longer he fights) and good in team fights (High damage dealer in 5v5 fights).
