A second patch up today, with the addition of the new champion, Bard, and his Elderwood skin. Additionally, Headhunter Akali is now up for testing.
Passive: Traveler’s Call
Meeps
Meeps: Bard attracts lesser spirits that assist with his basic attacks. These meeps gain new effects as Bard collects X chimes.
Meeps currently deal (??) magic damage and apply a (??) slow for 1 second. A new meep appears every (??) seconds, max of (??).
Chimes: Ancient chimes randomly appear for Bard to collect. These grant experience, mana [8% missing +15], and out-of-combat movement speed stacks. Chimes remain for 10 minutes.
Q: Cosmic Binding
Bard fires an energy bolt, dealing 85/115/145/175/205 (+0.5 AP) magic damage to one or two enemies. The first target hit will be slowed by 60% for 1/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8 second(s).
If the bolt hits another enemy or a wall, any enemies hit are stunned for 1/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8 second(s).
W: Caretaker’s Shrine
Bard raises a health shrine that immediately offers 30/60/90/120/150 (+0.2 AP) health, but restores up to 70/110/150/190/230 (+0.45 AP) health as it gathers power for 10 seconds. The shrine’s effect also grants 50% decaying movement speed for 1.5 seconds.
Bard can have up to 3 shrines active at once, which remain until visited by an ally or crushed by an enemy.
E: Magical Journey
Bard opens a one-way corridor through nearby terrain. Both allies and enemies can use the corridor by right-clicking on any part of it while near its entrance, with allies travelling 10/20/30/40/50% faster than enemies.
The corridor disappears after 10/10/10/10/10 seconds.
Tempered Fate
Bard sends magical energy arcing to a target location. On impact, all champions, minions, monsters, and turrets in the target area are put in stasis, becoming invincible, untargetable, and unable to act for 2.5/2.5/2.5 seconds.
Epic monsters are also put into stasis, despite normally being immune to disables.
A silent guardian looms over the rift….
