User blog:Beatnik Doctor/Champion Idea - Shade of Nazarus

Hey guys! I sometimes come up with champion ideas and proceed to write them down in MS Word. However, I always seem to leave them half finished, ending up with around 10 ideas scattered on my harddrive. Oh well. I managed to finish a few, and this is one of them. I also decided to throw it into a champion infobox, huahuehuehue.

Nocturne seems to be a magical creature with a shadowy appearance, while Shade would appear to actually consist of shadows and dark magic, just to clear similarities up. They do look similar physically, so perhaps Shade will be grayer. Also, Shade isn’t really evil, but is more of a depressed guy (sup Amumu).

Nocturne is also an assassin and wishes to pretty much instagib people, while Shade generally has other motives, though more innocent. Perhaps I’ll think of a more heroic/cunning wish at some point.

Shade is also meant to use the upcoming Stealth system by Riot, which means that Evelynn and Twitch are permanently stealthed unless taking certain actions (eg. proximity to champions, wards, etc reveals them). Of course these numbers are just quick guesses I came up with, and I can't come up with a proper name. Oh well.

Happy reading!

Shade of Nazarus is a champion in League of Legends.

Tips and Notes
- Spellvamp is diminished to a third for AoE spells.
 * Proper placement of your Aura of Feasting's active before Possessing an ally will give that ally up to 60% Lifesteal and Spell Vampirism.
 * It is best to stack Aura items on Shade of Nazarus such as Will of the Ancients, Abyssal Scepter or even Stark's Fervor due to his lack of scaling. With Will of the Ancients, and the above tip put into practice, you can give your Possessed ally a total of 85% bonus Spell Vampirism.
 * Consider getting Ionian Boots of Lucidity and various CDR items to improve the frequency at which you can cast your non-scaling spells.
 * Note that once you possess an allied champion, your position is regarded to be in the same place as him, therefore enemy and allied champions will gain the effect from your auras if they are near your Possessed champion.
 * Nazarus's contribution of Lifesteal and Spell Vamp may seem over the top, but remember that:

- Nazarus's only contribution to his team is the Lifesteal and Spell Vamp, 4 second stealth on one champion, and a slow-reducing physical shield.

- Nazarus can buff one of his teammates rather well with Possess, but he can't cast his Aura of Feasting, Ghostwalker or Shadow Cloud during it.

- Nazarus has no CC whatsoever.
 * Though I should probably reduce the Spell Vamp a bit.
