Maybe Kled would feel like a duo champion if we could play Skaarl
This idea doesn't fit what Skaarl is, a cowardly lizard - although, thinking about it now, a cartoon with similar name didn't portray a coward character, but rather an always fearful one facing his fears for his loved owner(s?)! - nor the story we were told, which is, Kled and Skaarl go into battle, Skaarl eventually cowards away, meanwhile Kled has to inspire him to come back.
**Regardless of that, **
When losing the first health bar, Skaarl knocks Kled's ass onto the ground where he remains, untargetable and immune, with his head twirling around with stars and other wonders flying inches above.
Now we play as Skaarl, for a truly different mini-game, we love them don't we :D ... :c I know that not so much, but hear me out:
Passive Every Skaarl ability helps Kled to come back to his (non-)senses. Skaarl deals no damage but knocks aside anyone who he comes in contact with.
Chicken senses tingling: You gain +25 movement speed for each nearby enemy (within 800 units range). Fish memory: Something is missing... something you left behind. Skaarl feels drowsy and moves slower, -50 movement speed (when 1.000 units away from Kled) Tough Love: Nearby Kled, you gain 50% Tenacity and 40% damage reduction (as Skaarl only).
Q: Kled on a Bear Tr... rope, Kled on a rope
Skaarl throws a rope and yanks whichever unit it collides with. If it hits Kled, Kled will grab on to it. Skaarl can drag Kled around to wake him up. The rope link will have a 6 hit health bar, enemy champions can click on Kled to cut it.
Reactivate to release (0.5s delay).
If the enemy cuts the rope, Skaarl will be stunned for 1.5s and will lose his defenses.
W: Sound of Nails Scraping a Blackboard Skaarl noises wake up Kled by a %.
E: Dash Can be combined with the "Kled on a Bear Trap" when pulling Kled around.
Auto-attacks will miss when Dashing.
R: Mushroom Juice
Just like Bard's chimes, 3 shrooms will show up on the map in a small range around Kled, and as Skaarl you can grab them, and after 3s of fermenting in Skaarls stomach, he can feed Kled his mushroom juice which will instantly recover Kled.
His movement would also be different, Skaarl would lose speed when turning (he'd have a turning speed) and quickly accelerate back to normal in 1s or so.
You would:
- Run around fast.
- Screech a lot.
- Make mushroom juice.
