KEEP IN MIND: IMAGE GIVEN IS JUST A ROUGH DRAFT

LORE: When Thaddieus was seven, his father bought him a brand new Scimitar. Thaddieus, filled with excitement, asked his father to train him to use it. "Ionia law teaches to only use fighting in the name of Peace." Thaddieus never forgot the words his father told him that day. Thaddieus had used a training dummy every day for three years when his father gave it to him. As Thaddieus entered the fourth year of his swordplay training, his village was invaded by Noxian soldiers, led by Talon and Katarina. He had fought off every soldier that came near, but in his efforts to protect himself, Talon had stricken down Thaddieus' father. There he stood, watching his dying father surrounded by a pool of blood, staring Talon in the face. Thaddieus' eyes became bloodshot, his iris the color of molten magma. He grabbed the sword his Father gave him and charged after Talon who easily escaped the new fighter, enraging him even more. Thaddieus cursed Talon's name and vowed vengeance against him. At the age of Twenty, the League of Legends recruited Thaddieus after watching him fight his way through the Noxian army to send a message to Talon saying, "I'm coming."

"Life is a beautiful thing; People have to ruin it." - Thaddieus.

ABILITIES: Passive -Dancing Blades - Thaddieus is surrounded by swords, each of which he uses for his basic attacks.

Q - **Elemental Grace **- Thaddieus enchants one of his blades with an element (Fire, Ice, or Electric). Each element has a different effect; Fire burns the target dealing 50-150 (50 at level 1, 150 at level 18) true damage to his target. Ice lowers the target's movement by 10/15/20/25/30% and deals 40/50/60/70/80 (+45% AP) as magic damage. Electric stuns the target for 1.5 seconds and lowers the targets MR by 10% for 4 seconds at all ranks and deals 40/50/60/70/80 (+25% AP) as magic damage. Thaddieus cannot choose the same element for 10 seconds.

Cooldown: 15/13/11/9/7 seconds. Mana Cost: 45/50/55/60/65

W -** Bloodthirst** - Thaddieus thrusts one his blades into a single target, dealing 80/90/100/110/120 (+40% AD) as physical damage and heals himself for 45% (+5% AP) of the damage done to his target.

Cooldown: 20/17/14/11/8 seconds. Mama Cost: 60/65/70/75/80

E - Strengthened Steel - Thaddieus raises his array of blades and forms a shield that lasts 2/3/4/5/6 seconds and absorbs 20% of all incoming damage.

Cooldown: 25/22/19/16/13 seconds. Mama Cost: 70/75/80/85/90

R - **Barrage of Blades **- Thaddieus becomes immovable as he hurls his collection of swords at a single target, dealing 300/400/500 (+70% AD)(+10% AP) as physical damage while also bleeding the target for 4 seconds, dealing 10 (+ 0.5% AP) per second.

Cooldown: 80/60/40 seconds. Mama Cost: 100/120/140

What's your opinion on my champion idea? Does it sound like someone you want to see in League??? LET ME KNOW! :D

Also, here's his item build: Thaddieus is meant to go Top Lane, by the way. He's a hybrid champ like Kayle. Core Items: Bloodthirster, Hextech Gunblade, Spirit Visage.

Offensive Items: Ravenous Hydra, Nashor's Tooth, Blade of the Ruined King

Defensive Items: Zhonya's Hourglass, Guardian Angel, Deadman's Plate

Situational Items: Mercurial Scimitar, Maw of Malmortius, Titanic Hydra, Void Staff

Passive: what you described is just an appearance. You can add something here to make him unique or benefit from the swords the more or less he has etc. Think about this one for abit.

Q - you need to explain the order of the elements when you use it, since he can't control how it works. is there any visual aid to give players a clue on what to expect, or is it really RNG and the player is never given a choice? Cause that wouldn't be fun in any case. you can consider it like Twisted fates 3 card draw mechanic. Once cast there is a short second for you to pick the element that appears, once chosen your next basic attack or ability uses that element effect.

W - This should actually be your Q, it's less random and works by itself. I would remove the heal. if you want, you can make it like: Activate: Fires one of his blades to a target area (skillshot), enemies hit take damage and heal him for % of the damage dealt.

E - this is fine, could be better, will explain later.

R - i would remove the bleed, the effect is really strong since you can choose the target to effect. do you consider this a nuke or DOT as the blades pierce the target? reason for being immobile?

As mentioned you may want to look into some sort of ammo or charge system.

Since you don't really have a proper passive, try this:

Thaddieus begins the game with 6 blades (based on your drawing), Thaddieus basic attacks consume 1 blade per attack, each blade takes 2 seconds to respawn to Thaddieus.

Q/W - Thaddieus throws one blade to deal damage and heal him. consumes 1 blade on use. can throw at least 3 before going on cooldown.

W - empowers the blade to have a random elemental effect. (consumes man only, since using your your basic attacks consumes 1 blade anyway)

E - This could shield you the more blades are already prepared. i.e 1 blade reduces 10% damage taken, 6 blades 60% etc

R - Passive: Increases blade cap to 10 (+4) Activate: Launches available blades towards a selected location (skillshot), add 20 seconds to cooldown based on how many blades were launched. example: if you have 7 blades, cooldown would be 140 seconds if you launched all seven. but you only launch 3, the cooldown is 60 seconds.

now you have interactivity between your passive and your abilities. Players can also react to you based on how many blades you have saved up or currently have. You can still add the bleed effect somewhere else from your ultimate, i assume that your ultimate would work with your elemental effect somehow, but i didn't consider it at the time Xd

Anyway play around with it, doesn't matter that it's a Hybrid or whatever, the character is still pretty strong as an AD mage.

WHY. DOES. EVERYONE. WANT. TO. MAKE. HYBRID. CHAMPIONS. Riot has already said it is way too awkward to balance and they don't plan to do many more. Your post is like the 4th hybrid champion I've seen today.
