User blog:QuadPistolatCOP357/Champion Concept: Angus, the Freedom Fighter

 Lore (inspired by the Hunger Games):

 The Fleshing of Noxus holds a special annual spectacle called the Greater Munera [1], held every Founder's Birthday. It is considered to be much worse than the Fleshing itself; reasons include:

 1. The purposes of this spectacle: to show that this spectacle will keep on happening if rebellions happen, and for entertainment.

 2. The mechanics of the Greater Munera:

 ▪                 When the Greater Munera was created, Noxus was divided into 12 districts called "soviets" [2.1] based on their common profession and specialty [2.2]. At first, two young representatives per soviet participated in the Greater Munera. Every succeeding year, the number of representatives per soviet (excluding the soviets of the victors) was increased by two until it capped to 15% of the soviet population.

 ▪                 Soviets competed with each other. So it's basically a 12 team FFA.

 Angus Kuhn was one of the representatives of the Greater Munera. This is his story and why he came to join the League.



Angus, born in the farming soviet of Noxus, one of the poorest soviets of Noxus, was bred for this event. His father, Malcolm Kuhn, a battle-axe soldier of the Noxian armed forces, taught him how to wield the battleaxe, while his mother, Marie (nee D’Assault), a crossbow soldier, taught him how to effectively use the crossbow. By the time Angus reached the age of 15, he was so proficient at both the battle-axe and the crossbow that when he received both a crossbow and a battle-axe during his 16th birthday, he fused them together without reducing the efficiency of either weapon. He called his new creation “the Deathsayer”.

When came the 103rd Annual Greater Munera [3], Angus, then 19, volunteered to become a representative of his soviet. Angus did not feel dread or terror, as long as he had the Deathsayer with him, he will survive the annual spectacle. He originally wanted to win in order to elevate his family’s social standing, but when he saw the cruelness of the event, he was considering winning in order to start a protest originally against the Greater Munera, but he realized it was pointless to revolt against it if it was not stopped from the source, so he decided that he would win not only to make his family rise to power, but also to rebel against both the Greater Munera and the Noxian High Command’s tyranny, what he believes is the source of the Greater Munera. With his determination to win the Greater Munera, he fought his way to victory, without faltering or falling back. By the end, he was victorious, but he was unable to fully stop the Greater Munera from its source.

Angus, believing that his revolt during the Greater Munera wasn’t strong enough, joined the League of Legends in order to stage the most powerful coup against both the Greater Munera and the Noxian High Command.

Notes:

[1] The word Munera came from the Roman Word for gladiatorial combat in the Roman Colosseum.

[2.1] Not to be confused with the Russian use for the word soviet, which means, “labor union council”. The soviet used in the Noxian sense means, “district based on labor”. This sense was inspired from the original term.

[2.2] The 12 soviets’ professions and specialties would be: weaponry and hardware, imported trade, mining, farming, livestock, education (e.g. book manufacturing, university, libraries, etc.), masonry, furniture crafting, woodcutting, fishing, clothes manufacturing (that includes all sorts of footwear) and transportation (e.g. carriage taxis, private carriage manufacturing, shipbuilding, etc.)

[3] Assuming the Fleshing of Noxus is more than a hundred years old.

Maximum stacks: 3 times

Bonus Magic Damage: 50/75/100

Notes:

[1] Like Tryndamere’s passive, except what is buffed is stance based.

[2] Calculation goes as follows:

For Attack Damage:

[Base Attack Damage (Including Runes and Masteries) + Item-Added Attack Damage] x (1 + percentage based on level converted to decimals)

e.g. Let:

Base Attack Damage = 125

Item-Added Attack Damage = 175

Level of skill = 5 (thus, Attack Damage addition percentage is 25%, or .25)

(125 + 175) x (1 + .25)

= 300 x 1.25

= 375

Likewise, for Attack Speed:

[Base Attack Speed (Including Runes and Masteries) + Item-Added Attack Speed] / (1 - percentage based on level converted to decimals)]

e.g. Let:

Base Attack Speed: 0.975

Iteem-Added Attack Speed: 0.525

Level of skill = 5 (thus, Attack Speed reduction percentage is 25%, or .25)

(0.975 + 0.525) x (1 - .25)

= 1.500 x .75

= 1.125

[3] The attack damage scaling is based on the Attack Damage after addition due to Use Battle-Axe.

[4] Calcuation the same as Note [2], except switch Attack Damage factors with Attack Speed Factors and vice versa.

[5] The attack damage scaling is based on the Attack Damage after reduction due to Use Crossbow
