Xenophilius, the Silver Tongue Assassin

This is an alternate version of the Xenophilius namesake, placing him as a melee dps assassin character rather than a mage. I am still reworking the old Xenophilius, and I hope to hear more about him, but he’s just about finished. This Xenophilius would look similar to the other. IE, he would wear a black cloak covered in runes. The difference in appearance would be the fact that this Xenophilius wields a silver long-sword. The goal for this champion would be like Fiora, only a bit more durable and a bit more spent in effect-happy abilities. Imagine a Fiora who’s damage potential is slightly less but could slow, silence, snare, and lure, all within a matter of seconds? Banshee’s Veil and Quicksilver Sash would be your best friends, if you fight him. If you like the sound of that, keep reading, and enjoy my third champion design.

Passive- Politician’s Blade Every tenth attack, Xenophilius imbues his blade with a magic serum, causing his next strike to deal bonus magic damage and making them more open to his influential tongue, luring them. Magic Damage: 10/30/50 (+0.3 per AP) magic damage Lure Duration: 0.5/0.75/1 seconds Notes: I think this is a useful passive without being totally bizarre. Minor bonus magic damage, unless you’re going AP, in which case you would only deal good damage on the tenth hit!

Q- Assassin’s Prowess Xenophilius dashes forward, dealing physical damage to all targets in his path. If he strikes a champion on this dash, he slashes their arms and legs, slowing both attack and move speed. Physical Damage: 50/80/110/140/175 (+ 0.5 per bonus AD) MS Slow percentage: 10%/15%/20%/25%/30% AS Slow: 5%/7.5%/10%/12.5%/15% Slow Duration: 2 seconds Range: 600 Mana Cost: 80 Cooldown: 13/12/11/10/9 seconds Notes: Not much to say here. A basic dash, a slow, easy. Nothing special here. I suppose the AD ratio might be high, but that’s it.

W- Poison Coating Passive- Xenophilius’ basic attacks apply a minor poison, dealing magic damage over time. This affect can be stacked up to three times, refreshing every time you strike the same target. Magic Damage per second: 3/6/9/12/15 (+ 0.075 per AP) Magic Damage Duration: 4 seconds

Active: Xenophilius applies a second, one-time use poison on his blade, giving his next attack bonus magic damage and a Snare. This attack also applies all three stacks of the passive. Magic Damage: 20/40/60/80/100 (+ 0.2 per AD) (+ 0.5 per AP) Snare Duration: 0.5/0.75/1/1.25/1.5 seconds Mana Cost: 45/55/65/75/85 Cooldown: 10 seconds Notes: Again, a fairly standard attack, combining a small passive with an average active. I suppose my interpretation of standard is off, considering the previous champions I’ve designed, so I would appreciate helpful comments.

E- Cutthroat Killer Xenophilius hones his focus, targeting a single champion. IE, Xenophilius deals bonus damage to the marked champion, gaining minor Move and Attack speed each hit. These bonuses stack up to five times. Range: 500 Duration of Mark: 5 seconds MS and AS bonus per hit: 1%/2%/3%/4%/5% Mana Cost: 75 mana Cooldown: 12 seconds Notes: Again, fairly standard, but perhaps UP. Almost worth giving it a refresh, if you kill the target, but I am not yet sure. Comments welcome!

R- Assassin’s Shredder Passive- Xenophilius shreds his opponents’ armor, reducing it with each attack. This effect stacks up to three times. Armor Shredding: 5/10/15 armor reduced Duration: 3/4/5 seconds

Active: Xenophilius strikes to kill, exploiting the weaknesses in the opposition’s armor. For several seconds, Xenophilius ignores armor and magic resistance. Duration: 10 seconds Mana Cost: 100/125/150 Notes: Yes, this seems completely OP, perhaps. But I think it isn’t. The armor penetration is completely nice, and the passive stacks very well with Black Cleaver. The active means that your generic tank isn’t going to run up and destroy the assassin. Problems solved! Of course, the double edged sword applies when fighting the champ with thorn mail. Even more damage returned!

Final Notes: I hope you like the alternate version of Xenophilius! Personally, I like the concept of the first, but I think the abilities on the second are far more balanced. Enjoy the design, feel free to send this design to riot if you happen to be an employee. (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. =D) Remember, please leave helpful comments only, and I would appreciate no swear words marring my champion post.
