So... thanks for visiting the thread!

Here is what I'm hoping for:
- You'll love my idea and will comment specifically on why and then have others view and comment on it as well.
- You'll see potential in my idea and make suggestions to make it more balanced.
- You have questions about my idea that I need to clarify, and so you'll comment
- You're with Riot and you'll take my full idea to completion in game (the numbers can change but the concept behind the numbers will remain in tact.)

Lad Ring - The Drunken Sailor

Background – Lad Ring will never admit it, but his love of the sea and the love of his grog were not enough to keep him from entering the League of Legends as a champion. It had made quite a stir in the den of pirates known as Bilgewater to hear of one of their own representing them, but Lad Ring had paid little attention to Gangplank’s endeavors. He had ignored much of the talk about the tournament until news came of a young woman named Sarah who trusted no pirate, yet called herself one. Lad Ring’s curiosity turned to admiration as he discovered more about her and determined to win her over despite her attitude towards pirates by joining the League of Legends.

Quotes –
JOKE: What do you do with a drunken sailor… WHY, give him more grog!

EDITS
- Adjusted AP and AD ratios for Q and W
- Removed Damage from W

Reserved for Future Use.

Only good idea is having a tripwire.
His Q and W do no damage at all, and his W can even do damage to himself.
His name is Lad Ring...waah?
His ultimate is a ward that moves, so basically just worse than TF ult.
We need moar pirates, but not this one.

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to respond!

Here are my thoughts:

He is not a burst damage champion, perhaps I shouldn't list him as a AP mage. He is designed to support lanes.

He can throw up the trip wire behind the enemy to prevent escape or in front of a tower so that the champions cannot attack it for a period of time or behind the tower to prevent them from chasing a hero past the tower. Or he can block off river access to a lane without the use of flash or a blink type spell. He is designed to control the area he is in by demotivating the other team from going somewhere.

His damage is there, just deceiving. His Grenadoe ability actually is the same damage output as Zigs bouncing bomb, just halved costs / cooldown / damage. So it can be used more frequently. He can take damage but that's only if he doesn't throw it. He has 5 seconds to get rid of it. I think generally, this would not be an issue, perhaps the damage received needs to be lowered?

The same is true for Caltrop Trap, which does not go away as people walk over it unlike Ziggs minefield. The result is you can hit every champion with it if they walk through it, not just the tank.

Think of the power of having a moving ward. You could guard dragon while you were by the tower, then move him closer to the lane as you pushed. Stick him by enemy blue/red so your jungler knows when to counter-jungle.

That said, I changed up the ratios for his first two spells.

Love more feedback!

i do like him, but the grandoe should not punish himself. i mean, if somone is chasing him, it might be a good idea to hold onto the grenadoe so that the enemy chasing will take damage if they are close enough. also, if he is fighting in melee range, why take the time to throw it when he can just hold onto it and fight? with this in mind, i think you should remove the damage he takes from the grenadoe altogether.
i also think that the caltrops, if they dont already, should do damage over time for as long as people stand on/in them.
the tripwire is good.
the ultimate.... i think it could do more. so, he summons a rat to ward places for him. i think that, while the passive on it is cool, you should be able to send the rat onto an enemy, causing it to deal physical damage over time or even magic damage over time for as long as it remains on the target, up to 10 seconds, maybe less, i dont know. it could also poison the enemy, increasing the magic damage they take for 3 seconds each time the rat deals damage to them. additionally, the rat can not be killed if it is on a target enemy champion. the rat can still ward, but it should also deal some form of damage i think, and the range for it being able to stay on an enemy should be smaller than the distance it can go if it were just walking.

theres my feedback, hope it serves you well. also, i would appreciate it if you could take a look at mine? http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=2766854

Sephiroth. I agree my ult needs to do something more than ward. Not sure though, if I like the idea of it attacking champions. Perhaps it attacks any minions / monsters that are attacking him? If it dies it basically smites anything in the area? Cooldown of 70 seconds?
