Nox, the Stygian Darkness

[quote=rudyards]Nox is intended to be a Durable Bruiser with a focus on diving the enemy adc. He is a melee ranged fighter with fairly high base armor, although lower MR scaling. Stats: 125 Attack Range, high base armor, low MR scaling Passive: Nox’s attacks against targets with less than 50% HP apply stacks of dread. If a target reaches 7 stacks, his next attack will fear the target for 1.5 seconds. Stacks last for 6 seconds unless refreshed. Lash Out: Nox strikes around him, dealing 50/65/80/95/115 (+60% Bonus AD) Physical Damage and applying 1/1/1/2/2 stacks of dread to everyone hit. If an enemy hit has at least three stacks, they take an additional 35/60/85/110/135 (+40% Bonus AD) physical damage and are slowed by 10/15/20/25/30% for three seconds. Range: 250 CD: 7/6/5/5/5 Mana Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 Night Terrors: Toggle Off: Nox preys on those who fear him, gaining .25/.5/.75/.1/1.5% spell vamp for each stack of dread on nearby champions, minions give half the effect per stack. Toggle On: Nox’s attacks remove 1 dread stack, and deal 20/30/40/50/60 (+25% Bonus AD) additional physical damage and restore him a small amount of health. Abduction: Nox jumps to a nearby enemy and they both disappear for 1 second. When they reappear, the enemy is feared for 2 seconds, immediately gains 1/1/2/2/3 stacks of dread, and takes 35/55/75/95/115 (+ 40% Bonus AD). Range: 600 CD: 18/17/16/15/14 Mana Cost: 90/100/120/130/150 Avatar of Terror: Passive: Nox gains 1/2/3 armor for each dread stack on enemies near him. Active: Nox’s attack speed is increased greatly for ten seconds. Lash Out applies 1 more dread stack per instance, Night Terrors gives him an additional .5% spell vamp per stack, and deals additional damage. Finally, when Nox uses Abduction, he auto attacks the enemy when they both are gone. CD: 110/100/90 Mana Cost: 100/100/100 Background: From the realm that Nocturne, Fiddle, and Shaco are from. He is an enforcer of the lord of that realm. I'm working on specific numbers and his lore quite a bit. I'd love some input on his kit, if it meshes well together, if it seems OP or UP, etc. I'm willing to accept all honest criticism, but give it with the intent to help. Changelog: June 13, 2013: Added June 23, 2013: Buffed his Passive (reduced the number of Dread stacks required to fear, and increased his ability to generate them via auto attacks), Nerfed Night Terrors effect on Minions June 28, 2013: Added Changelog, nerfed Abduction (reduced Dread Stacks applied), began to examine numbers. July 28, 2013: Return from trip with Numbers, added slow to his Q, examining Abduction to balance Thanks to: Arenor HumorousDotard[/quote]

[quote=Kazzette]I Love This Idea.[/quote]

[quote=devdevil]On the Abduction, would they both become untargetable?[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]The kit looks really nice to me, fearsome jungler. Perhaps you can make a connection between him and Lux in the lore.[/quote]

[quote=rudyards][quote=devdevil] On the Abduction, would they both become untargetable? [/quote] Yes. So if you don't use it correctly, you can save enemies. [quote=Latest Legend] The kit looks really nice to me, fearsome jungler. Perhaps you can make a connection between him and Lux in the lore. [/quote] His lack of natural sustain would make it a little trickier to jungle, but the ganks would be terrifying. He'd probably be best as a mid or top bruiser the way I see him. I'll add a special taunt for Lux when I'm coming up with quotes. Thanks for the idea! [quote=Kazzette] I Love This Idea. [/quote] Thank you, that means a lot[/quote]

[quote=Arenor]Love the idea, very creative and original. I think you might want to change some numbers, i find the passive useless, it starts applying stack when the enemy is way too low. Lets think about it, you abduct an enemy, so he has 5 stacks, lash out, he takes extra damage and 1stack, now what? Unless hes below 30% you have no way to stack, and the extra damage from night terror only removes stacks, and u cant wait for cooldown because stacks last 4 seconds maybe reduce the stack number to 7 and make the passive start at 50%, this should give you at least 1 fear per full combo Also, if the enemy is below 30%, and night terrors is turned on, do you still lose stacks on auto attacks? The spell vamp is definetly too much, you could just lash out on a minio wave and get 9% vamp, and then some more for each on an enemy Lastly 4 seconds leaves you a short window to kill the enemy, making nox either and att.spd or mov.spd champion to stick to his target Hehe, I still really like the idea, he sounds versatile and fun to play, choosing between spell vamp and armor, and fearing the enemy. +rep for you :) for creativity[/quote]

[quote=rudyards]Thanks for the input. The numbers totally need tweaking, and your suggestions help tons. And if they're at low HP with Night Terrors on, you do lose 1 stack per attack, but since you also apply 1 per attack it doesn't really matter.[/quote]

[quote=rudyards]Adding a changelog and beginning to add numbers.[/quote]

[quote=Arenor]Very nice :) I like the changes you made, the numbers all seem good to me. One thing bothers me though, I'm guessing he is a "assassin" type bruiser, who jumps the Adc like [[irelia]] or [[diana]] do. But he lacks stickiness, after he abducts he has no way to keep his target in check, I think he needs either a slow (with Q possibly?) Or a movement speed steroid. Also, this guy can be a [b]hell[/b] of a jungler! Aoe, sustain, and abduct it perfect for ganks[/quote]

[quote=rudyards]I'll add that if his target has over 3 fear stacks, his Q inflicts a slight slow. Or should I change the Night Terrors toggle to make him faster if nearby enemies have dread stacks?[/quote]
