ThatGuyYouSaw'235s Concept for an entire YEAR (NEW CHAMPIONS, CHAMPION BUFFS, RELICS)

ThatGuyYouSaw235

As you might have noted from the title, I am designing a concept for an entire year worth of content. Some of you may have seen my concepts and have varying opinions, I generally enjoy making them and have been doing so for a while out love and respect for the game and its development team, even for all the messy bumps in the road.

This is an extremely ambitious project. I've made concepts for singular champions but would only rarely connect them to other concepts I have made. Now apply that to an entire year's worth of champions, plus buffs and even relics.

This will take me a while to complete, but I feel it is the best way to give purpose to all my concepts and I hope you all enjoy my work as much as I have done making it.

Now, before I begin I will list some disclaimers:

DISCLAIMER 1:

The intention of this thread is not to suggest ideas, but to discuss them. Treat it like you had just seen these champions be announced and feel free to criticise, applaud or suggest ideas of your own.

DISCLAIMER 2:

I am not affiliated with Kabam in any way, shape or form. Any ideas I present forth are NOT OFFICIAL and they are purely concepts given life in this thread. If at some point in the future, one of my ideas parallel new champions, it is purely coincidence.

DISCLAIMER 3:

In terms of concepts. All the new characters I will design have all been chosen and WILL NOT CHANGE. Buffs are more dynamic and have not been all set in stone, so ideas can be discussed as to who I should buff for this year of content. I have not planned out the relics as of writing this, so feel free to suggest relic ideas. There will be no chase champions such as the Deathless for this year, but there will be one trophy champion.

DISCLAIMER 4:

For this thread, no feedback is bad feedback. I appreciate any form of discussion revolving around my concepts so long as it does not derail this thread. If you have a thought, I implore you to discuss it, I am far from a genius.

DISCLAIMER 5:

If an entire comment worth of ideas appears to be absent, it is due to it being stuck in approval purgatory unless I have stated otherwise. I expect to come across this issue throughout my project and I am stating this right here to save myself from stating it repeatedly.

FINAL DISCLAIMER:

I will only work on this project in my spare time. I have many commitments and this is purely a project I'm doing for fun. I expect this project to take a while due to the amount of concepts I will be making, so there may be massive gaps between posts. I kindly request that you refrain from posting your own concepts in this thread to try and complete the year. This is a personal project and while I love discussion, boundaries have to be made.

Now. Let's get into this.

As Kabam usually posts graphics of each of the champion classes with empty slots to give hints towards upcoming champions. I'll do the same, except because I'm too poor to afford Adobe, I will type them out.

FOR THE YEAR 20XX, THERE WILL BE:

- 3 New Skill Champions
- 4 New Science Champions
- 3 New Cosmic Champions
- 5 New Mystic Champions
- 5 New Tech Champions
- 4 New Mutant Champions

For a total of 24 champions.

This includes the SUMMONER'S CHOICE CHAMPION FOR 20XX. To save you all the democracy, I have decided the winning champion.

THE MANDARIN WILL BE YOUR SUMMONERS CHOICE CHAMPION

However I will leave his class ambiguous until I announce it later down the line.


There is an overarching storyline for this entire year, which will be concluded with the December concepts. It is planned to begin with February's concepts. To give you guys an idea of the champions I will adding this year, a lot of them are villains (which was unintentional but actually works pretty well with what I'm going with).

Abilities, synergies, tags, spotlight ratings and writeups will be provided with each champion. I will also do a rebalance program for champions at a rate of three months after they were "released". (Don't worry, I'll rebalance the Oct-Dec champs outside even after I've completed the final concept.)

I have finished January's concepts as of writing this, so expect them to come very soon. To throw you guys a bone, January will be yet another month based on the Immortal Hulk comic storyline, but both of the champions have well defined histories outside of that given storyline so don't fret if you've gotten sick of all the Immortal Hulk content (if any of you exist).

Before I end off. I've give you guys a hint for who February will include. One will be a highly desired champion that has appeared in a past Summoner's Choice event. The other is an often forgotten, yet integral part of an existing "complete" group of characters that exist in the game.

JANUARY WILL INCLUDE (IN ORDER OF RELEASE):

DOC SAMSON - SCIENCE



PUCK - SKILL



A TUNE-UP FOR SUPER-SKRULL:



AND THE BEGINNING OF 1 OF 3 SAGAS

That's all I have to say for now. I hope you enjoy this project!

I almost forgot. We get roadmaps for the year to give us strong hints at to who will be coming to the game. I shall do the same.

January -

Doc Samson and Puck of course. Completing Gamma Flight while Alpha Flight gets its 4th member.

February -

A hint was already given, so I'll say that there will be a Science and Mystic champion coming that month.

March -

Once again, the Asgard month! One character is a major Thor villain that I'm surprised hasn't been added yet. The other is someone who has strong ties to a major accomplice of Thor and is part of an existing group of champions that hasn't seen a new addition in a decent while. I'll say the classes are Cosmic and Mystic but I'm not sure how that would help considering that is where 90% of Thor-related characters end up.

April -

We can't forget the obligatory Spider-Man month. This time things will be taken to a more, traditional street-level type deal with the two characters that will come with this month. Both champions are characters you'd associate with a more classic environment.

May -

An X-Men month and an extremely juicy one at that, focusing on a full blown war that will be fronted by two characters which I'm sure will be welcome additions to the contest.

June -

An iconic X-Men character has been found on a derelict, near haunted space station. Imagine those derelict freighters in No Man's Sky, how there's always an overarching sense of danger no matter where you are. Imagine that with the second character, someone or rather something that would be the last thing you would want to be pitted against in a Space Station.


(This concludes the plans for the first half. However, if you remember correctly, Kabam decided to let slip that July 2024 had The Leader coming to the game, as he was such an iconic character. I will do the same for July 20XX.)

July -

Kraven goes hunting. The Lizard is one of his two targets.
