@@Arthis_Don't do it. Riot will waste your talent into designing top tier garbage like Generic Disney girl/ Lux Skin variant N°1083038208493 Also, Riot will take away your creative freedom. Make your own game.
Yes, I feel you! Currently, they are on the Honkai/Genshin side of character design - because that’s what a lot of people like but in doing this they move away from what made them special.
@@Arthis_ Its kinda sad how most champion designs end up. Often if you look at their concept art you can see that the artists had unique ideas, but im guessing that riot just uses the most boring sexy/cute design. :(
Damn, I love how he looks. Also the eclipse skin theme fits soooo damn well with his design. Wish we got him ingame - its been a while since we got something from Freljord too. Keep it comming m8, your videos are always great, not only from design perspective but also the "short" lore arround them. Riot really needs people like you ✌🏻
Thank you so much - yeah I really felt like he would be the perfect fit for a dark eclipse knight! The next lore will probably be a bit shorter I just kinda enjoyed writing a bit too much with this one 😂 either way thank you very much for the compliments 🙏🏼🫶🏼
HOW can you do such PERFECT arts with so INCREDIBLE (in the truest state of the word) easiness and frequency?????? I mean it, your talents are even above professional/riot level, it's amazing!!!!!!!! I am 200% in love with your channel.
Man, you are really talented at what you do, the splash art for the champion was absolutely stunning, hope you get hired by riot, your talent needs to be recognized more!
I was already sold on the design. Then I saw the splash art you made for him. I’m a SUCKER for that style and I love this design! Fantastic job as always man and can see your improvement every time you introduce a new one. As a side note, funny name for him. Gave me a good chuckle as a secondary Spanish speaker (US)
I’m surprised no one has ever designed a void yordle. According to the lore yordles basically reflect their region. What if one accidentally went through a rift as the for design, I’ll let you make the final decisions. An OC I have been thinking of in my head for the past couple of weeks. It is a ragdoll kind of character with a zipper mouth with a single, dark slit eye peaking through the doll’s zipper mouthpiece. Maybe the yordal doesn’t have a physical body anymore, or it is so horribly twisted that when he came back to runterra he tried to fashion himself something that resembles a yordle. So the doll itself it looks like a ragdoll yordal. I hope I explained the idea properly. I love your videos, and your artwork for this last character was amazing!
@@dumodshorts9766 absolut amazing idea! I think vex (from a visual pov) was a great addition to the Yordle roster and this one seems to take it even further! It’s definitely on my list now!
Would love to see you visit the region of Bilgewater, considering the last Bilgewater champ we got is Pyke. I feel like the Buhru (Illaoi's people) could use some more representation in the game. (Pyke is half-Buhru but it can hardly be seen in his visuals/gameplay) Perhaps a healer using traditional Buhru medicine (some kind of apothecary) could be an interesting addition to the game. As a supportive-jungle champion, roaming around the map aiding those in need, using their monster-hunting skills to make their way through the harshest environments.
Gotta say, this is my favourite concept so far. Having a champion changing the map on this lvl is somth completly new and refreshing. Great work as always! @LeagueofLegends higher this guy!!!
Thank you so much for the praise :D I will definitely work on a few more of this kind of- I have a great idea for nocturne and some really scary stuff so be prepared 😂

Oh do I have the right one for you .. has a bow and a prosthetic leg - is actually part of the lore already - is a teenage friend of akali. Check out alkalis stories - I will definitely design her moving forward!
@@Arthis_ I'm super busy and honestly I wouldn't want to get in the way of your creative work but if I ever change my mind I'll definitely hit you up brother
I always really liked your designs and ideas behind the characters, but in this video you really improved at making interesting abilities! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! When I started these I thought I just make some because why not and now 50% of the conversations are about cool kit ideas and these definitely help in getting better at coming up with ideas! 😃
Thank you for showing us what League champions should actually look like. It's been a long time since I've seen a league champ that actually feels like it 100% belongs in the universe❤
One of the fundamental steps Riot takes when creating a new character, is checking it's name's meaning in most languages. Can tell why it's important to do so now
I'm in love with those characters dude, the attention to detail you give to them is something that Riot doens't do anymore. Not only about their visuals (which are the best part) but you also have great abilities ideas.
Impressive content! Keep up the good imagination and details work! One note is that your voice is a bit quiet and when paired with the soundtracks could be hard at times to distinguish all words.
@@Arthis_ I like that you try to think outside the box. If I could suggest something that might be interesting. You should try out making champions based on niche mechanics, I think it would help you with fleshing out gameplay. For example Pyke's passive, that converts one stat into another, but make it convert the stat into a mechanic. Like a passive that converts crit into a chance to mitigate dmg(similar to Mundo and Rengar w). So it could be a feast or famine bruiser with extremely volatile gameplay. Or an adc champ based on kiting(space gliding) who loses rapidly hp if they aren't moving and auto'ing. It could be a toggle ability(which we haven't seen in forever), so a self steroid with a caveat.
That’s actually a great idea! I do think I have to go through augments in arena because especially the crit for defense you’d be an interesting stat for a melee adc! And there could be some more inspirations! 😃 your adc ability sounds really cool! The league champion design subreddit makes a challenge for this month that is all about movement - maybe I can translate something about movement into a new champion. Thanks for the food for thought!
Since Summoner's Rift has had a Winter version, it actually wouldn't be to difficult for them to basically alter the texture of the map as the Bergon's ice grows. With a little work to remove Xmas lights and what not, I think this is entirely a viable character for the game. I cannot say about optimization, but I doubt it would be too extreme. Well done!
Dude this looks so good i WISH we had this as a champ, such a cool design and always wanted one of this Darklorn frost guards, they look intimidating and the frost terrain ability sound so sick. Really nice concept and kit.
I really enjoy seeing your design process as you're excellent in using shapes and silhouette in your sketches! I think you do very well in translating the design tropes of Runeterra in to original characters. I would suggest that in the splash art stage you recolor your sketch linework to a general tone for the whole piece (in this case I would use a dark blue as it would be the most abundant sort of light that would hit the shadows in a snowy environment) and set the layer to multiply while laying down your colors below. It helps, while blending, to keep it from getting too muddy and gives the whole piece a more unified look as opposed to using just black and grey. I use this method for saving time in my own paintings as the amount of wrestling with the color tone of the whole piece is greatly reduced. Other than that, I love your work! Can't wait to see more of your incredible character designs in the future!
Im so glad i actually clicked on this video, league is dead to me for some time now, so i naturally refrain from watching any content related to it. This however was special, inspiring even! Thank you.
I absolutely love the idea of a Draklorn champion, you did an amazing job here! My only criticism is that you should probably keep the horns on the helmet and also make it non-human (unless we have confirmation that the Draklorn are humans) to make him a bit more distinguishable without his helmet. How I would personally go with it would be: - Dark blue/Dark grey skin - Strange deep blue markings on the face to signify some form of connection to primal ice magic (being close with Lissandra and everything) -Glowing light blue eyes (or maybe another colour) for the same reason as above P.S. really love the pickaxe, its such a creative and fitting idea!
Bro!! That’s insane !! You are a beast!! Please riot do something !!! We want Arthis’s champions in League !! Really, well done man! Its such a pleasure to Watch your videos ! Thank you !!
I know we have a snake champion, being Cassiopeia, but I would love a monster snake champion, either a void corrupted snake or an Ionian guardian in snake form. I always liked the idea of Aurellion Sols stars orbiting him, so how about the different parts of the snakes body take different amounts of damage with the head taking the most damage, so he can use his body to block certain attacks. Would also be cool to have some kind of constrict ability.
nice to find this video, I remember a conversation I had with a friend about our own concept for lol champions, I made mine a noxian, a loot of the writting of that champion came about me having my "memento mori" at the time so toughts of mortality where a big factor in the creation of the character.
I have a crazy idea about a lunar priest mage who will change the phases of the moon when using abilities, which will change his basic abilities' effects and properties. For example, the combinations of Q-W-E and E-W-Q will have the same abilities, but at the same time they will give and apply completely different effects. You create beautiful champion designs, and I just wanted to share my idea, keep up the good work
Ive been think about two new ionia champs: Yubia: the adopted sister of yasuo and yone, who is seeking revenge on yasuo gor the unintended pain he caused their mom (yone is dead so...) Makiko: a female shimon who joined the shadow order.
I really like champions that use their abilities and autos together and this is no exception. I'd love to see how you'd give an asu to Varus. His old design doesn't fit his new lore, and I think there's a lot of potential in making him a fusion of human, darkin, and void.
4:08 surprise "the Sith control everything ! even this particular frame in this video !" Very interesting but when it comes down to the abilities, he seems to have a mix of skarner and rek'sai in the way they were intended to play. The monolith would have to be more engaging to really sell out their usages, the frost theme should probably have other effect than being sort of a trundle/viego copy, the E specifically I don't see fitting in his kit. Maybe have something that instead work like a static except only in frostlands.
I think it would be cool if instead of spreading the ice yourself, the monoliths spread it instead. Mabye, it would work so that whenever you killed a minion/monster or detonated frost, you would gain a stack, and the ice spread scaled with the stacks (you can keep the ult tho)
I suggest an alteration to this. I’m keeping the minion/monster or frost detonations give stacks part, but instead of stacks, it gives him “shards of ice” which is a currency he can use to *build* these towers around the map. And these towers gradually spread frost around them, eventually covering almost the whole map in ice if the game goes on really long, but there will be blind spots such as dragon or baron pit and the enemy base because that would be a tad too strong
Thanks a lot this was one of my thoughts 😂 I had a lot of comments that Tugnor was already a similar shape to Nautilus so I made sure to not repeat this 😄
If you want to make him an AP Bruiser, you could drop the bonus attack speed thing on the frozen map, and give him AP damage on basic attacks there instead. Also I really love the 'bringing Winter to the Rift' theme
15:38 Poro is a great idea I can think of some voice lines he could have with Braum like "Your shield shall shatter and your body shall crumble!... (do not worry about the poros I will take care of them)" or yone cause he dose not eat, something like "you miss food swordsman? how very sad." tbh its a REALLY good concept.
i'm pretty sure they could make the first passive work ! if i understood correctly it's similar to Zagara's trait from Heroes of the Storm where she spawns a "clot" that spreads mucus around itself, not exactly the same activation but it's definitely possible
Funnily enough I had a talk with my brother who used to play the game too, and we were talking about the passives - and he mentioned that there is this one Zerg in hots who corrupts terrain so tech should be manageable 😄 but I still was unsure about riot spaghetti
i made a concept jungler from miss fortunes crew and i think its a pretty decent design its also made from pre existing lore so majority of it wasnt just me making it up
Another concept League is so desperately needing. Legends introduced just so many interesting things over the world that simply don't make to the main game it's criminal.
It definitely is! I think the universe is full of things to explore as champions 😃 I really hope we can get some more interactive looks into the universe - and a lot of champions could be excellent npcs or bosses in pve modes!
Man's got old skarner passive. I think a void or darkin tank could be cool, same thing with a noxian enchanter, these ideas are so interesting because the classes interact weirdly with the regions.
Yes I realized it when I drew it on the map and was - wait a minute 😂 - yes yes 100%! Noxian enchanter is something I already made a design excuse about lately- someone with a magic artifact from mordekaiser - I actually made it after I heard a comment from Riot August that league needs a hot male enchanter with glasses(😂) and I thought if there has to be one - he better is from Noxus (or piltover) and looks really badass. But other than the Noxian enchanter could definitely look differently 😄 just a sidenote to say all of the ideas are definitely on my list 😄
Just a thought, have his passive (the first option) mark the closest terrain. Like a talon jump mark but with a blue glow. And make the passive activate when in proximity to these regions, for less art asset usage.
you have Talent keep up the good Work, I would really like to see something from Bilgewater a new Guard/Priest/Champ from Nagakabouros,Riot still doesn't want to show the true face of Nagakabouros, maybe you can come up with something cool.
I´ve got a quite funny champion Idea, lets just call him Fisher for now, a support with a fishing rod, basically Q will be similar to soraka Q but if he hits the target, he can pull him towards Fisher. His W would be called a bucket of fish, for every creep nearby he will collect a fish, when he casts W he will heal himself or his ally depending on how many fishes he cought (6-11 fishes is max). His E ability would work similar to darius Q, but champs that gets cought with the "edge of a rod" will be cought in it spinning around Fisher, by recasting E Fisher will let go the cought enemies and send them towards facing direction and if they hit a wall, they will get stunned, his ultimate ability works like this, u place a hook on a map that is invisible, but once the enemy enters the area of the hook, he will become visible and they will have some time to run away from it, but if they wont, they will get "pulled up", it will work as a short knockup, and then they will be thrown back on the ground and get stunned for some duration, his passive would be a fish slap, basically he will slap them with a fish and it will slow and silence. I am sorry for my english in advance, it is most certainly not perfect, but I still think its a funny idea. :D
Quick note: maybe adjust the background music levels when you're narrating so it doesn't overlap with your voice when you talk? Otherwise yet another absolute banger in your catalogue!! Can't wait to see what you've got in store up next!
I kind of personally would be interested in a full on anthro character similar to Wukong, Rengar, and Warwick, but has a more balanced (similar to one of auroras concept designs with the plantigrade legs). Perhaps a Runeterra champ that is themed around a cursed outcast who wants to find a sense of peace to oneself as they desperately try to control t their unstable curse.
I love the design.. maybe for his passive on turning the environment to ice, rather than staying in a set spot, it could emit from him and as he uses abilities, it can expand? maybe it gives him increasing stats, That way he is a late game team fight bruiser where as the fight continues, he gets better, but at the start of a fight he is weaker due to not having enough frost around him... but if it would stay in the environment, then maybe it would stick around for a specific amount of time and at specific levels it would increase the time. like 10, 15, 20, 25. If it stays in the environment, then it is set up where he needs to prepare for a fight first. The debuff for frozen zones would be a champion slow or attack speed (it scales as the passive scales, maybe start at like 5% and increase to like 15% at max level) slow while standing in it, no damage done to them. Also, you mentioned a ceremonial dagger... would be awesome if he used that for his ult in combination with the pick axe swing, like maybe he stabs the daggering into the ground and it makes a massive frozen zone. Then he swings the axe into the ground, shattering all the frozen zones near him, removing them from the map and either knocking up enemies or stunning them, and potentially a minimal amount damage done, possibly shattering the frost. Now for the second passive, the tower idea is awesome, and this would grant him the buffs such as increased healing. That way he can set up areas for sustain before needing to back quickly. It can also grant him the attack speed buff while near it. Set locations work for this, but also it could replace an item, make it something he buys and can place somewhere, but he can only carry 3 at a time. The pillars can have a second function as well, they become targetable by only him and if he shatters them, it grants a heal zone for all friendly champs and the attack speed buff. The longer the pillar stays in the same spot, the longer it charges and increases the buff (either the time active or the amount). The pillars can also be attacked by enemy champs and destroyed before he uses them. Also, the kills and epic monsters and tower slays can add to the amount of towers he can carry with him at any time. But limiting it to 3 on the map at any given time would make it more fair. These subtle changes can make him more balanced by turning him into a bruiser that basically scales both throughout the game and also throughout a teamfight. Weaker early on, but later he dominates if he gets too strong. Also a bruiser mage would make the most sense and would be way cooler.

Hey thank you so much! Those are really kind words. I try to keep the spirit of 2013-2018, happy that you had a good time 🫶🏼☺️
Your ideas are so cool, it'd be so cool if your champs would be in League, I love your designs.
Best luck for your next one, take care.
I absolutely love the idea of a Draklorn champion, you did an amazing job here! My only criticism is that you should probably keep the horns on the helmet and also make it non-human (unless we have confirmation that the Draklorn are humans) to make him a bit more distinguishable without his helmet.
How I would personally go with it would be:
- Dark blue/Dark grey skin
- Strange deep blue markings on the face to signify some form of connection to primal ice magic (being close with Lissandra and everything)
-Glowing light blue eyes (or maybe another colour) for the same reason as above
P.S. really love the pickaxe, its such a creative and fitting idea!
I was not expecting such entertainment when I clicked on your video
watched the whole thing
kept my attention the whole time
ok i felt in love with your videos, passion and quality, i will watch every new stuff, im now sub !
Thank you so much I will not disappoint! 🫡
Bro!! That’s insane !! You are a beast!! Please riot do something !!! We want Arthis’s champions in League !!
Really, well done man! Its such a pleasure to Watch your videos ! Thank you !!
@@Oiseaurouge98 thank you so much 😃🫶🏼 I will keep it up!
Just found this gem of a channel, loving your art c:
Thank you much I hope you have a great stay 🤝😁
I know we have a snake champion, being Cassiopeia, but I would love a monster snake champion, either a void corrupted snake or an Ionian guardian in snake form.
I always liked the idea of Aurellion Sols stars orbiting him, so how about the different parts of the snakes body take different amounts of damage with the head taking the most damage, so he can use his body to block certain attacks. Would also be cool to have some kind of constrict ability.
Damn that’s a unique design idea! Sounds absolutely great!! Would also be a great void champion (or at least void skin)!
@@Arthis_ thanks
Glad youtube suggested me your channel !! Keep up the good work !👍
Thank you so much! I will try to not disappoint🫡
nice to find this video, I remember a conversation I had with a friend about our own concept for lol champions, I made mine a noxian, a loot of the writting of that champion came about me having my "memento mori" at the time so toughts of mortality where a big factor in the creation of the character.
holy shit i would love this, like i cannot believe we live in a world where we do not have a draklorn champion but instead we have seraphine
this actually goes hard. i hope to see an armored shariman champion
Uuuh sounds sick will definitely put one on the list! 🫨
This is such high quality, I freaking love it
Mis hermanos sabemos por que estamos aquí ... háganse ver
The abilities were very interesting , you are evolving at abilities i would say , continue continue !!!!!
I love these so damn much 😭 Amazing work!
I want to see your take on the aspect of might. on sett's concept art, there's a badass looking asura-like concept of sett with 4 arms
@@asura3955 I loved that concept so much - it’s gonna be a task to create something that will do it justice 😃!
What an interesting badass looking character great job man! sadly riot games will most likely never be anywhere near character designs like this.
This fanmade is much better than most of the characters that Riot has released in recent years. Incredible concept and design.
This looks incredibly great I really love his q/r but the most fun his helmet. Could you make it happen phanteon/ IGRIS skin on him
I have long dreamed about a champion who can absorb incoming projectiles into portals and then release them on enemies by opening portals again.
Sounds super cool I will see if I can come up with something like this!
Amazing work, love your vids and the concepts
Thank you so much - to many more 😄🙌🏻
super great design and great work on making him diffrent than the other frost gaude that we have seen
Thank you so much - it was a really hard task, but it was a lot of fun! 😃
The cime city skin was wild , hands for head , what is he thinking " eh eh boi gimmi that money " today is the day.
I have a crazy idea about a lunar priest mage who will change the phases of the moon when using abilities, which will change his basic abilities' effects and properties. For example, the combinations of Q-W-E and E-W-Q will have the same abilities, but at the same time they will give and apply completely different effects. You create beautiful champion designs, and I just wanted to share my idea, keep up the good work
Hey thanks for sharing I love when people talk about their ideas! That’s what’s really interesting in the comments and inspires me a lot! 😃
Like a spanish speaker than i'm i have to say:
I fcking love the name XD 11/10
ngl better then any of the champions Riot released over the last 3 years
Thank you! 🫨🙌🏻 and I do think that their peak was 2013-18/9 and try to capture that spirit!
Ive been think about two new ionia champs:
Yubia: the adopted sister of yasuo and yone, who is seeking revenge on yasuo gor the unintended pain he caused their mom (yone is dead so...)
Makiko: a female shimon who joined the shadow order.
LoR is carrying league lore so hard. It's crazy how almost nobody knows about it. Love the design.
Yes they do! Darkin, master you rework, Morgan’s design - mordekaisers legions they did a lot of amazing things!
I really like champions that use their abilities and autos together and this is no exception. I'd love to see how you'd give an asu to Varus. His old design doesn't fit his new lore, and I think there's a lot of potential in making him a fusion of human, darkin, and void.
@@JACE70736 yes Varus in on my list for so long now i definitely have to tackle him sooner than later!
No way, I just finished watching Linden video and you just drop this banger
Haha thank you so much - I try to keep them coming 😁🙌🏻
can you do a darkin support there are already so many unused darkins in the lore it would be awesome to be able to make a full darkin team
The Darkin Support is definitely on my list! 😁
4:08 surprise "the Sith control everything ! even this particular frame in this video !"
Very interesting but when it comes down to the abilities, he seems to have a mix of skarner and rek'sai in the way they were intended to play. The monolith would have to be more engaging to really sell out their usages, the frost theme should probably have other effect than being sort of a trundle/viego copy, the E specifically I don't see fitting in his kit. Maybe have something that instead work like a static except only in frostlands.
I think it would be cool if instead of spreading the ice yourself, the monoliths spread it instead. Mabye, it would work so that whenever you killed a minion/monster or detonated frost, you would gain a stack, and the ice spread scaled with the stacks (you can keep the ult tho)
It’s a good idea! 😃
I suggest an alteration to this. I’m keeping the minion/monster or frost detonations give stacks part, but instead of stacks, it gives him “shards of ice” which is a currency he can use to *build* these towers around the map. And these towers gradually spread frost around them, eventually covering almost the whole map in ice if the game goes on really long, but there will be blind spots such as dragon or baron pit and the enemy base because that would be a tad too strong
@@kevinbutkevin5561 that’s actually a great idea 😃🙌🏼 sounds like a cool minigame that if fun to repeat every game
@@kevinbutkevin5561 i keep coming back to this comment and thinking "this is what viego should have been"
Dude I'm so excited for your vids everytime
Thank you so so much 🥹🙌🏻
i like the change in the pickaxe i didn't want to look like nautilus good job i love your work!
Thanks a lot this was one of my thoughts 😂 I had a lot of comments that Tugnor was already a similar shape to Nautilus so I made sure to not repeat this 😄
If you want to make him an AP Bruiser, you could drop the bonus attack speed thing on the frozen map, and give him AP damage on basic attacks there instead.
Also I really love the 'bringing Winter to the Rift' theme
Good feedback thank you 😃! Happy you like the theme 🥳
really cool video
15:38
Poro is a great idea I can think of some voice lines he could have with Braum like "Your shield shall shatter and your body shall crumble!... (do not worry about the poros I will take care of them)"
or yone cause he dose not eat, something like "you miss food swordsman? how very sad."
tbh its a REALLY good concept.
Haha thank you so much - love the braum quote - and if he is on the same team they would share recipes for poro snacks 😄
@@Arthis_ TRUE
i'm pretty sure they could make the first passive work ! if i understood correctly it's similar to Zagara's trait from Heroes of the Storm where she spawns a "clot" that spreads mucus around itself, not exactly the same activation but it's definitely possible
Funnily enough I had a talk with my brother who used to play the game too, and we were talking about the passives - and he mentioned that there is this one Zerg in hots who corrupts terrain so tech should be manageable 😄 but I still was unsure about riot spaghetti
i made a concept jungler from miss fortunes crew and i think its a pretty decent design its also made from pre existing lore so majority of it wasnt just me making it up
BABE, ARTHIS DID IT AGAIN. GRAB THE POPCORN !
🥹🥹🥹🙌🏻🫶🏼 thanks so much
Bro said twisted tree line and straight up broke my hearth
Another concept League is so desperately needing. Legends introduced just so many interesting things over the world that simply don't make to the main game it's criminal.
It definitely is! I think the universe is full of things to explore as champions 😃 I really hope we can get some more interactive looks into the universe - and a lot of champions could be excellent npcs or bosses in pve modes!
Man's got old skarner passive.
I think a void or darkin tank could be cool, same thing with a noxian enchanter, these ideas are so interesting because the classes interact weirdly with the regions.
Yes I realized it when I drew it on the map and was - wait a minute 😂 - yes yes 100%! Noxian enchanter is something I already made a design excuse about lately- someone with a magic artifact from mordekaiser - I actually made it after I heard a comment from Riot August that league needs a hot male enchanter with glasses(😂) and I thought if there has to be one - he better is from Noxus (or piltover) and looks really badass. But other than the Noxian enchanter could definitely look differently 😄 just a sidenote to say all of the ideas are definitely on my list 😄
@@Arthis_ I look forward to seeing them, these designs, concepts, and stories are all really good
Just a thought, have his passive (the first option) mark the closest terrain. Like a talon jump mark but with a blue glow. And make the passive activate when in proximity to these regions, for less art asset usage.
you have Talent keep up the good Work, I would really like to see something from Bilgewater a new Guard/Priest/Champ from Nagakabouros,Riot still doesn't want to show the true face of Nagakabouros, maybe you can come up with something cool.
ahi te va el bergon
I´ve got a quite funny champion Idea, lets just call him Fisher for now, a support with a fishing rod, basically Q will be similar to soraka Q but if he hits the target, he can pull him towards Fisher. His W would be called a bucket of fish, for every creep nearby he will collect a fish, when he casts W he will heal himself or his ally depending on how many fishes he cought (6-11 fishes is max). His E ability would work similar to darius Q, but champs that gets cought with the "edge of a rod" will be cought in it spinning around Fisher, by recasting E Fisher will let go the cought enemies and send them towards facing direction and if they hit a wall, they will get stunned, his ultimate ability works like this, u place a hook on a map that is invisible, but once the enemy enters the area of the hook, he will become visible and they will have some time to run away from it, but if they wont, they will get "pulled up", it will work as a short knockup, and then they will be thrown back on the ground and get stunned for some duration, his passive would be a fish slap, basically he will slap them with a fish and it will slow and silence. I am sorry for my english in advance, it is most certainly not perfect, but I still think its a funny idea. :D
i love the idea for the w, riot needs to see this.
This crime city skin is so cool gj
I love how every custom champ has ten times better artstyle and is more in line with the runeterra world building than crap like Aurora.
Yeah aurora is just a miss from her clothing 🤦🏻♂️ check out genshin Mona or Lisa and you can be sure who the inspiration was ..
i would love to see you design an enchanter support. That would be so cool and I bet you would have some amazing ideas :)
Enchanter are definitely on my list 😁
Quick note: maybe adjust the background music levels when you're narrating so it doesn't overlap with your voice when you talk? Otherwise yet another absolute banger in your catalogue!! Can't wait to see what you've got in store up next!
ye true i lost in the lore a bit too
Yes, I absolutely get your point! I will work on my mixing skills! The music is always my weak point
I kind of personally would be interested in a full on anthro character similar to Wukong, Rengar, and Warwick, but has a more balanced (similar to one of auroras concept designs with the plantigrade legs).
Perhaps a Runeterra champ that is themed around a cursed outcast who wants to find a sense of peace to oneself as they desperately try to control t their unstable curse.
Do you know the Baccai? Ascended who did not ascend properly? This concept would fit one of them perfectly 🙌🏻🫨
Cool!
I'd love to see it in the game!
Thank you so much 😁🙌🏻 me too!
I love the design.. maybe for his passive on turning the environment to ice, rather than staying in a set spot, it could emit from him and as he uses abilities, it can expand? maybe it gives him increasing stats, That way he is a late game team fight bruiser where as the fight continues, he gets better, but at the start of a fight he is weaker due to not having enough frost around him... but if it would stay in the environment, then maybe it would stick around for a specific amount of time and at specific levels it would increase the time. like 10, 15, 20, 25. If it stays in the environment, then it is set up where he needs to prepare for a fight first.
The debuff for frozen zones would be a champion slow or attack speed (it scales as the passive scales, maybe start at like 5% and increase to like 15% at max level) slow while standing in it, no damage done to them.
Also, you mentioned a ceremonial dagger... would be awesome if he used that for his ult in combination with the pick axe swing, like maybe he stabs the daggering into the ground and it makes a massive frozen zone. Then he swings the axe into the ground, shattering all the frozen zones near him, removing them from the map and either knocking up enemies or stunning them, and potentially a minimal amount damage done, possibly shattering the frost.
Now for the second passive, the tower idea is awesome, and this would grant him the buffs such as increased healing. That way he can set up areas for sustain before needing to back quickly. It can also grant him the attack speed buff while near it. Set locations work for this, but also it could replace an item, make it something he buys and can place somewhere, but he can only carry 3 at a time. The pillars can have a second function as well, they become targetable by only him and if he shatters them, it grants a heal zone for all friendly champs and the attack speed buff. The longer the pillar stays in the same spot, the longer it charges and increases the buff (either the time active or the amount). The pillars can also be attacked by enemy champs and destroyed before he uses them. Also, the kills and epic monsters and tower slays can add to the amount of towers he can carry with him at any time. But limiting it to 3 on the map at any given time would make it more fair.
These subtle changes can make him more balanced by turning him into a bruiser that basically scales both throughout the game and also throughout a teamfight. Weaker early on, but later he dominates if he gets too strong.
Also a bruiser mage would make the most sense and would be way cooler.
