I want to design champions for LoL!
So here's the deal: Yesterday I posted a thread about wanting to work for Riot and design champions and the like. Can't draw, but I can post ideas. Pretty much the best response I got from said thread was to put my work out there. Credit goes to mojodarkale with this (no sarcasm) great post: Quote:
Will Riot notice me? Probably not. Will a red say something? Once again, probably not. But I'll keep making designs and showing them to the community. Only way something is gonna happen is if I put myself out there and while the road will be rough, the chance that I could design some of the champions is something great. CHAMPION DIRECTORY: Page 1- Mach, The Piltover Buster (ADC Melee) TL;DR: A spear wielding cyborg who fights for Piltover while refusing to be another Viktor Page 3- Hemsworth, The Gentlemanly Hunter (ADC Ranged) TL;DR: Clever hunter who loves the ever changing League atmosphere Page 4- Maggie, The Mistress of Magnets (Tank/Support) TL;DR: Insane southern belle who wants to get in your face with her prosthetic arms Page 5- Ryuji, The Prodigy of Qi (ADC Ranged) TL;DR: Magical ADC who swaps stances to gain bonus effects from his Qi shot. Page 6- Fangor, Speaker to the Elements (Support) TL;DR: Shaman Master who supports with the power of the elements. FAN ART?!? Maggie WIP by Gummibearmurder |
We'll be kicking off the first week with my design for a Melee AD Carry. Everyone give a warm welcome to...
Mach, The Piltover Buster LORE: "Don't let his attitude fool you, Mach isn't sure if he's man or machine." - Caitlyn, Sheriff of Piltover As with many Piltover citizens, Marcus was a bright young man. Unlike many Piltover citizens, Marcus was cocky and a showboat. He prided himself on being on the forefront of bionics and combining technology with flesh to create a balanced harmony of man and machine. To say that Viktor saw this as an affront to his glorious evolution was an understatement: He saw it as the greatest sin anyone could make. Marcus returned to his lab one night to find Viktor viciously decimating all of his life's work. Viktor had made the mistake once with Jayce, he would not make it again: Within moments of seeing him, Marcus was torn to shreds through mechanical power and brutal efficiency. Any other person would leave Marcus for dead. Where many saw a corpse, the Piltover government saw an opportunity. They couldn't continue to trust vigilantes like Jayce with their protection and a sheriff can only do so much. In agreement, Marcus's own technology was combined with some of the knowledge stolen from Viktor. Thus was born Mach, The first of the Piltover Busters: Elite warriors who were deployed when things were too dangerous for regular guards. While Mach speaks with the same cocky nature and brash attitude he always had in life, there's an underlying hint of sorrow. His frequent associate Caitlyn especially notes the pain: Mach walks a thin line between opposing Viktor and joining him...and every day, that line blurs more. It was of no surprise that the Piltover government sent him to the League of Legends to prove that Piltover could hold it's own among even the strongest of enemies As you can see from Mach's lore, I wanted to make someone opposed to Viktor who walked the same path. Whereas Viktor volunteered to change his form, Mach had no choice. Whereas Viktor wants to bring everyone into the new evolution, Mach struggles to retain his humanity. Jayce, to me, was too much of a superman. It was too obvious for me. So I hope to make a character who can serve as a more interesting parallel/rival. PLAY STYLE Mach is a bit different in terms of an AD carry because he relies more so on mobility and being able to get into the right position as opposed to others. While he doesn't have the powerful steroids that Yi, Fiora and Tryn have, he can get into the right spot far easier than they can while also having a bit of defense along with it. If there was a goal this would be a 'safe' AD carry that can get out of danger far easier than others while also having a bit of initiation to go in. Think of this as me trying to make an 'Ashe' of AD carries. Not great in any field nor does she do the best damage but she's a solid pick in terms of how safe she plays. MOVE LIST (Please note that all numbers are simply rough estimates) Mach's entire moveset revolves around his main weapon: The Sonic spear. One of the things AD carries tend to use is swords. Yi, Tryn, Fiora, even Riven if you count her scailing with AD at alarming rates. So I wanted to try and use something new, as most spear weilders are bruisers. While Mach is powerful on paper, I intend his cooldowns to be long, making him have a weaker time in a lane while reaching that late game AD monster is a sight to behold. Passive- Sonic Strike: Mach's critical strikes cause a small shockwave to come from him, dealing AD damage in a small circle around him. One of the main issues with AD that riot wanted to address with AD is that they cannot deal much AoE damage and are pretty much secluded to single target. With this it gives Mach just a LITTLE bit of AoE to toss out and it means that buying critical strike items will benefit him a bit more than your standard AD. Q: Sky vault- Mach uses a target to vault over them, dealing damage if it's an enemy and landing in front of the target. Most AD carries do need an escape or initiation to deal with all the characters with jumps or dashing. With Mach, however, you only have to deal with this jump. A long cooldown means that he can either use this as an initiation or an escape, not both. On the same note, it's quite possible to easily misuse this skill as it can quite literally vault you into the enemy team. W: Impale- Mach's spear runs through the enemy, slowing them and reducing the cooldown of his other skills (QER) for each time he strikes the wounded target. Considering, even with Season 3, that there aren't many items in the cooldown reduction for melee/AD? I felt that Mach needed something to keep the enemy there as well as reduce his long cooldowns. While you could easily just do the damage and walk away, this would reward you for going in and keeping the pressure on the enemy. E: Defensive twister- Mach spins his spear, deflecting the next 1-1-2-2-3 spells casted at him. Lasts a few seconds. Before you cry OP, let me explain: Mach's E is a sort of reverse Jax, blocking spells and giving him a bit of defense against casters who can constantly lay the damage on...but note that at Rank 1, it only blocks one spell. Early game that might be good against someone like Gangplank for blocking SOME parrrlays, but you'll have to spend points to constantly block spells from heavy casters...neglecting your slow and your ability to reduce cooldowns. This is the main idea, as you will have to trade between surviving your lane early against a heavy caster vs. getting that slow to secure skills later. R: Sonic Spear/Buster Crisis- Passively, Mach gains bonus AD. Active: Mach charges his spear for three seconds, dashing forward. Mach will only stop if he reactivates his R, hitting an outer wall of the arena or hitting a champion. If he hits a champion, Mach can reactivate R to perform Buster Crisis. Buster Crisis: Mach brings the champion he hits into the sky, becoming untargetable as he hits the target twice. The third hit brings the champion back to the ground, dealing AoE damage. The lynchpin of Mach's kit is his ultimate. One of my favorite ultimates in the game is Fiddlesticks and how powerful it is at turning the tide, so I took inspiration from there. However, this will also be his main method of initiation and a true gamechanger: Foremost, Mach has to hit a target to get ANY damage on his ultimate. Using it like, say, Shen's ultimate will result in a length cooldown (Though the option is there if you miss the champion by inches). Secondly, Mach's skill is a gamble early game but a nightmare late game: A weak Mach will only succeed in doing small damage and maybe even losing a kill while a late-game Mach will bring about a great end. Finally, the three second charge time means that Mach will not only have to predict and aim accordingly, but he can't use this skill as a "Get out of gank free" card. Stunning him at any time during the charge will only result in a wasted ultimate with a lengthy CDR Keep in mind that you can't spring this on someone (Be standing skill and BOOM). There would -definitely- be an animation associated with the attack akin to Fiddle/TF/Pantheon. SAMPLE QUOTES Upon Selection: Piltover buster, online. Movement "At mach speed...get it, summoner?" "Piltover's best, on the move." "Speed is key." "Moving to designated location." Attack "Don't blink or you'll miss it." "Can't dodge something that's too fast for you." "Let me show you how hard tech hits." Taunt: "I've already calculated every move you could make: The most logical one is slash-surrender." Joke: *Mach bangs his spear into the ground as it flies into the sky*. "GREAT. Now we have to wait for it to come down...." Upon using R: "SONIC....SPEAR!" "Piltover Busters! Reaaaady...GO!" "FOR PILTOVER!" The thing about these quotes is that there has to be a parallel between Mach and his mechanical augments: Some quotes would be a young man taunting, mocking, and generally being a light-hearted showboat. However, some quotes would also show how the machine half of his body is influencing how he speaks and acts: Less of Viktor's perfect sync of man and machine, more of a slowly spreading infection in his mind. I hope you've enjoyed the first week's champion. Any questions/comments/criticisms would be greatly appreciated. I'll be back next week with another champion. Heck, if the response is positive enough I'll even provide a sneak peek of what's to come! |
riot plz
I want mach ._. |
I kept thinking about trucks
Also, that ult = Ike's ultimate move in brawl ._. But it's pretty well design. It's obvious you put some effort into it, unlike the *omg i wan my c00l ninja champ plis riot* kids. |
E should be flat 1 at all levels, lower cd as you go. Look at sivir, she has that spell that gives her mana back, or noct that gets attack speed. Maybe give him flat or %based AD or armor and MR bonuses. Also his R can be used as an unstoppable escape, Maybe make it so he cant move through terrain, or lower the distance and make him gradually gain speed. like the design on this guys, but he sounds more like a bruiser, ad gives him defenses, hes got a close range nuke, spell shield and a flip and ult that get him in the action/back line.
The main idea about E increasing as levels go on is something like Tryndamere: When Tryndamere ults, people tend to unload all their CC on him. While you can easily take cleanse, I hate the idea of a stunlock situation like Blitz or Alistar who can grab, knock up, knock up, knock back. The idea is that with each rank, he'd be able to deflect more and more and get through their team faster. Maxing this at late game means that you'll have a Jax-situation where he can completely negate some of your power if you attack him while this is happening. I thought about adding the life-steal passive on his E, but then you'd have everyone maxing that and thus getting extremely powerful in a lane when he's meant to be late game. The idea is a trade off of maxing to survive the caster vs. maxing to survive via sustain. However, if the E was to be lowered to one block at all ranks,the life steal would definitely go there. R in essence can't be used as an unstoppable escape because he still has to charge for three seconds. Like fiddle or Karthus, any form of CC will stop him from performing his ultimate. Even if you get him to use his ultimate, it's the same case of Shen: He used his ultimate to escape so this big game-altering attack is off the table for another two minutes. In addition, I also wanted to do something with an AD carry people haven't done before and give him this charging skyfall attack. While he -sounds- like a bruiser, overall he's made to be an AD carry. He has to get a lot of damage to get some defense. Building more tanky such as Jayce or Garen or Darius and you'll have a tanky character that isn't really doing much in terms of damage. Not to mention I figured the bonus would be 25-35 Armor/MR per 100 AD. You're going to have to get a LOT of that AD for it to make a difference or to boost yourself up there, thus scaling into late game further while making his mid game only moderately strong. |
Hey Captan, I haven't been awake long enough to compose a good forum post, but if you're on LoL I'd be up for chatting with you about this. Sent you a request :)
Okay. That ult sounds sick as ****. You have my support.
Sounds like people will try to build him bruiser-y. |
good luck

March 21, 2002
Respirators had been used by employees in about 10 percent of the private industry workplaces surveyed in late 2001.
The term respirator refers to any device designed to provide the wearer with respiratory protection against inhalation of a potentially hazardous atmosphere. Dust masks, full-facepiece respirators, and self-contained breathing apparatuses (where air or oxygen is carried in a tank on the worker's back) are examples of respirators.
In nearly half of the 619,400 establishments where respirators were used, they were used by employees on a voluntary basis only, and, in about 12 percent, they were used only when required because of emergencies.
These data are from a special survey conducted by the BLS Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities Program for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Find more information on the use of respirators in workplaces in news release USDL 02-141, "Respirator Use and Practices" (TXT) (PDF).

Ryan Adams & the Cardinals, 'Cardinology' (Lost Highway)
- SPIN Rating:7 of 10
Anyone who's followed Ryan Adams' career during the decade since he left Whiskeytown might've wondered if last year's Easy Tiger was a fluke -- an all- too-rare instance of Adams wrangling his creative wanderlust long enough to craft a consistently compelling full-length. Yet this fine follow-up, recorded at the same New York studio with the same hearty backing group, begs an unlikely question: could alt country's premier wild child finally be settling down?
If maturity means never having to say, "Hey, look what I can do!" then it sure seems that way. Like Tiger, Cardinology is long on midtempo country-rock shuffles that sound comfortable with their own familiarity; Adams isn't straining to reinvent the Great Art of American Songwriting (see Gold or Cold Roses), and that allows you to focus on what he and the cardinals are actually playing, as opposed to what they're thinking about playing.
More often than not, it's something with a bit of casual profundity: In "Cobwebs," Adams looks for reassurance in the sturdy midtown Manhattan skyline, while "Go Easy" and "Fix It" -- the latter riding a killer soul groove-describe life after a painful breakup without descending into emo-folk bathos. "Some of us are strong / The rest of us are weak," he sings in the album's prettiest cut, "Let Us Down Easy." And some of us seem to be getting stronger.

Congress OKs new IRS chief, ends turbulent year
By ALAN FRAM
WASHINGTON (AP) a¿¿ A cross Congress ended its business for the year Friday as the Senate approved a new boss for the troubled Internal Revenue Service but remained slowed and bitterly riven over majority Democrats' weakening of Republicans' power to filibuster.
Before leaving town, senators voted 59-36 to approve President Barack Obama's nomination of John Koskinen, a retired corporate and government turnaround expert, to become IRS commissioner. The tax collection agency is still reeling from this spring's revelations that its agents targeted tea party and other conservative groups for especially rigorous reviews when they sought tax-exempt status.
The Senate also moved Janet Yellen to the brink of becoming the first woman to head the Federal Reserve, voting 59-34 to end debate on her nomination. The chamber plans to confirm her to the powerful post when it returns from its holiday break Jan. 6.
Next year's congressional elections make major legislation unlikely. But for now, the two parties closed the book on a petulant 2013 by engaging in tit-for-tat blockades of each other that typified much of the year. Senate Republicans derailed Democratic efforts to quickly extend expiring unemployment benefits and tax breaks for commuters who use mass transit. And the GOP prevented Democrats from formally keeping scores of judicial, ambassadorial and agency nominations before the Senate. Senate rules require that unapproved nominations be returned to the White House at the end of a congressional session, a requirement lawmakers sometimes waive. "The normal way the Senate has operated for a couple of hundred years has been destroyed this year," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., referring to the Democratic-imposed changes in filibusters as he blocked the nominations request. "And to ask that normalcy come about now is just beyond the pale." "I understand that we're at a point of great emotions and feelings, stress in the Senate" over the filibuster changes, said No. 2 Senate Democratic leader Richard Durbin of Illinois. "Unfortunately, it appears we're going to stay in that state for at least a short period."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Ok I have gotten back into my linux system (cant get into windows though). I tried adding the windows into menu.lst but it says i can only read and not write. Im sure this is really simple but im stuck. I went into /boot/grub and found the file but it wont give me the privilige.

ok so i know i need to change my menu.lst file to include windows, but it says i dont have permission to do that. I was trying to change it in Kwrite. I know i need to be root to make these changes but i dont know how to become root. I know how to become root in Konsole but i dont know how to add these lines into the menu.lst file. Can someone please walk me through the whole process.
Problem: have Windows XP installed but it is not in the menu.lst file (doesnt show up on grub). Need to add that option in grub.

Login to the terminal as root, enter the password. Type: vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
Your menu.lst file should open. Hit the 'i' (Lower case letter I) to insert. Add whatever you need to. Save the changes by hitting the ESC key, type :wq, then hit enter and the file is saved.

I think maybe these are related and the issue is already sorted.

Eh. Nothing special. The results were okay, but my lashes drooped after applying this. There are much better mascaras out there.
Used this once but it doesnt do anything at all. It doesnt add volume, doesnt lengthen and doesnt hold my curl AT ALL. It doesnt really make any difference to my lashes except maybe define them a little. It kinda flakes as well, as I can see tiny flecks on my eyelids. On the positive note, it washes off well with just water and its very cheap but definately not a repurchase.
UPDATE- taking away another lippie as I think its irritating my eyes cos every time I use it, my eyes seem to get quite itchy and red.
More reviews by mommytomy3sons
Great mascara! It's cheap, doesn't flake on my cheeks, doesn't smear on my eyelids, readily available at any drug, discount or grocery store (no special trips to the mall), washes off with soap and water and makes my lashes look as though I actually have some. Most definitely will repurchase.
i enjoy this mascara. It lengthens and thickens my lashes as you put more coats on. It doesn't really clump even if you put on many layers. However i wish that it can lengthen more and that the colour was darker because i bought it in very black but it wasn't really the blackest that it can be. I would get this product again since it's super cheap and works pretty well~
The best mascara I've come across so far! I was reading reviews for it here, and it's generally rated really high so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm overflowed with joy for this product! I have asian lashes, short.... sparse... and stick straight. With the help of a lash curler and CG super thick lash mascara, my lashes POP.
1. It lengthens
2. It volumizes like no tomorrow
3. It doesn't smudge nor flake (I've slept w/ it on)
4. It thickens my lashes, not significantly, but naturally.
You know how when you sleep your lids may get oily overnight? Well, that in addition to rubbing your eyes during the night will result in raccoon eyes in the morning. This mascara is the only mascara that doesn't give me raccoon eyes if I happen to sleep w/ it on. The one and only con I can find in this product is that it dries out quicker than others and you may have to replace it every 2 months. STL is very well priced ($5 CAN) so in the end, it's not much of a con.
it was great until i messed up the brush... my eyelashes are naturally longer and darker, but i wanted to thicken them up for a flirty fan... so, i grabbed the hot pink tube and went at it. for the first week it was great, but becuase i am so rough on brushes i bent the bristles and it got messy... i need those rubber ones becuase they dont wimp out on me. so, i used the cg formula, but stuck in an old rubber mascara brush. i know that is probably illegal in the mascara world, but hey, my lashes are thick enough for now... i want to try max factor's volume couture.... that looks fun and i think it will stand up to my mayhem...
This is a great mascara for it's price! Better than the more expensive Covergirl ones in my opinion. For 3.99 you can NOT go wrong!
More reviews by youdroppedabalmonme
Woohoo! I struck gold. I bought this on a whim after the Clinique sample mascara (High Definition) in my purse dried up. I based my purchase on the MUA reviews, and I'm glad I did! I like everything about this mascara. The brush is very large and plush, making it easier to sweep all lashes at once, and the formula is very smooth and non-clumping. Truth in advertising: I do get more thickness than length from this product, but for me thick makes the bigger difference anyway. What I really love is the ease with which I can add coats without creating a wet, sticky mess. And my lashes don't "sweat" mascara streaks onto my eyelids during the day, a problem with most mascaras. I have found my perfect mascara!
Does a great job of lengthening and thickening. I have naturally dark, straight lashes and STL does give them a lift, althought I usually apply many, many coats. My husband and my mother both asked (separately) if I was wearing fake lashes, which never happens with the other mascaras I use (I rotate b/w Diorshow, Zoomlash, Voluminous and Super Thick Lash).

Aberdeen has seen the largest increase in disposable income in the UK since the credit crunch, according to a study of economic figures.
The analysis suggests households in the city are now better off by 19%, £2,285, compared with before the recession.
Brighton, Belfast and Blackpool also ranked well, with London seventh.
Top five for spare cash growth
- Aberdeen - £2,285 increase from £15,143 to £17,986
- Brighton - £2,463 increase from £14,869 to £17,332
- Belfast - £2,347 increase from £12,757 to £15,104
- Gillingham and Medway towns - £2,288 increase from £13,168 to £15,456
- Blackpool - £2,188 increase from £10,629 to £12,817
Figures over five years
Accountancy group UHY Hacker Young looked at the growth in average disposable income for the UK's biggest 40 towns and cities.
The level of money a household has left to spend or save, after taxes and mortgages or rents, was examined over a five year period between January 2007 and January 2012.
Aberdeen's households were now estimated to be on average £2,285 better off than before the recession, following the 19% rise, from £15,143 to £17,986.
The average UK household disposable income for the 40 towns and cities was said to have risen by £1,761 over the same period, to £14,068.
The accountancy firm said this increase had largely been driven by reductions in mortgage costs, as a result of the Bank of England's interest rate policy.
Bottom five for spare cash growth
- Hull - £1,418 increase from £9,689 to £11,287
- Bristol - £1,335 increase from £12,730 to £14,065
- Leeds - £1,172 increase from £12,297 to £13,469
- Bradford - £1,151 increase from £11,216 to £12,367
- Nottingham - £1,070 increase from £9,764 to £10,834
Figures over five years
Colin Wright, partner at UHY Hacker Young, said: "Households in Aberdeen have benefitted from both the collapse in the UK's mortgage costs and, uniquely, from the oil boom.
"As one of the few global centres of the oil and gas industry Aberdeen has boomed in recent years.
"It can be hard to imagine but Aberdeen is now part of that small group of international oil cities that have had a relatively good recession like Houston, Bahrain and Almaty."
Mr Wright said that as real wages had stagnated few people felt better off, but that the historically low interest rates had bailed out the finances of many households.

Buyout Firms Gear Up for Swipe at PayPal
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Make no mistake about it: private equity wants PayPal But a combination of a bevy of bidders, as well as the industry's newfound disdain for club deals, could push an asset valued at more than $35 billion just out of their range.
With activist Carl Icahn rattling his saber at owner eBay's (EBAY - Get Report) digital gates and the company facing lackluster stock performance, a spinout into private ownership for PayPal could be the optimal move. More than a decade after eBay's acquisition of PayPal (then, at a comparatively paltry $1.2 billion), the asset's dependence on the marketplace has been turned into eBay's reliance on its subsidiary, now a fully developed technology company that is fully capable of standing on its own.
There's only one thing standing in private equity's way: Everyone else. Sources said that, while they expected PE players to perk up their ears if and when PayPal hits the block, many potential big technology bidders -- Google (GOOG) Apple (AAPL - Get Report), even Facebook (FB - Get Report) -- would have traditional payment processors and credit card companies -- Visa (V) and American Express (AXP) -- nipping at their heels in a rush to outbid each other.
"It's a rare asset because you can expect that guys from a number of sectors will come out," one banker told The Deal.
Still, if there were a time for PE firms to take another stab at a more successful version of an leveraged buyout approaching $40 billion, factors are aligned for that to happen now, more than at any other point in recent history. One private equity general partner, whose firm not too long ago reeled in more than $10 billion to put to use in M&A, called the prospect "difficult but not impossible" before saying that, until eBay and its activist settle their differences, he wouldn't even instruct his lieutenants to lift so much as a calculator. "It's too early to tell," the PE pro said, noting that the company has not yet even made a decision as to whether or not it will divest PayPal, or spinout the company. Private equity firms rarely commit more than 10% of a fund to any particular transaction, and the LBO shops out there that are likely to have the expertise as well as the balance sheet to support a transaction for PayPal number less than 10. Yet, now, PE firms have more dry powder than ever before: according to Dow Jones & Co. research, the $216 billion raised by LBO shops last year is the biggest since 2008. A substantial portion of those funds raised also went to large-cap LBO shops and, all of a sudden, the $10 billion buyout fund is back in vogue. One source suggested that four private equity firms together could easily put up the $6 billion that, in the current debt market, might go far enough to leverage a deal. All they would need is for eBay to retain a stake in its spinout, which is exactly what the company did when it unloaded Skype Technologies to a private investment consortium.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

St. Louis, Mo. (KMOV) – Police in St. Louis County are taking another step toward becoming the first department in the state to equip officers with the heroin antidote Narcan in case of an overdose.
On Monday, Chief Jon Belmar attended the first Narcan meeting since Governor Jay Nixon signed the bill into law earlier this month.
According to a Sergeant, the department is still in the planning phases of how exactly the training of officers will work. The goal is to have most cop cars equipped with the medicine by next summer.
Currently, only a handful of departments across the country have Narcan.
