Rickard, the Cowardly Prankster is a custom template champion in League of Legends.

Lore
Rickard, like his Captain Teemo, is of the Bandle City reconnaisance force, the Scouts of the Mothership. Unlike his Captain, Rickard is a total coward as well as a prankster, fulfilling his mischievous goals before sprinting out as fast as he can before retribution strikes. He takes joy in practical jokes and making people annoyed to the best of his ability. ""Leave all enemies with their backs turned to me!""

- Specialist Rickard

Comments
Taking inspiration from Teemo and Singed, I created a complete coward champion designed in run-and-hit tactics and annoying the enemy team as much as possible. His passive means he is great at escaping when on his last legs, and in assisting his hit and run attacks. All of his abilities were tailored to be annoyances when in lane or otherwise, from blinds to free wards. With his W Tree Forts, he is extremely hard to sneak up on from junglers, and his blind and AP debuff mean he can poke with relative safety. His ultimate is his biggest damaging ability, and spreads to teams foolish enough to stand close together.
