@FastHeadcrab said in Character Concept: Zeera, The Soul-Torn:

Why I made this: Among my time playing Paladins, I couldn't help but feel like the characters were identical. Obviously, they all have their unique playstyles and character development, but each class did the same job: "Damage", "Attack from behind", "Stay on the point and protect others", and "Heal".
To me, this removes the customization in playstyles; it isn't really unique, you're just doing the same job by a different method. That is why I created Zeera! She's a support but, while she does heal still, her main feature is her wide range of CC and statuses that she can use to help her team win a major firefight. Her priority is to support by inflicting statuses and such on her opponents rather than healing teammates constantly.
TL;DR - She adds more variety and customization to how a character can fit their class.

Umm, I would disagree with that.

Let's look at just the Supports.

Ying is a very heal-centric Support.
Jenos is a very active fighting Support, and a lot of his Support capabilities comes from his Luminary damage buff.
Mal'Damba is the most well-rounded Support, with a variety of healing methods and CC.
Pip is a Flank-focused Support, with a Slow and Burst heal that means he tries to overwhelm the opponent, rather than outsustain them.
Furia is a Support with a focus on her Damage potential, especially through Wrath passive.

Yes, Supports often fit into the point of "You have the heals", but the way they do it and the other aspects of them are very different.

As for your concept here...

LMB is just a thing. LMBs in general aren't much, unless they have a special passive. This is serviceable.

RMB is a copy of Seris/Io, but slower and with a Shield.

Q is a copy of Tyra's Mark, but more broken.

F is a copy of Grohk's Ghost Walk, but without the benefit of Untargetability.

E isn't really a copy of anything, but it's pretty generic.

Plus, you fall into the trap of not being able to heal and deal damage at the same time, or heal multiple allies at the same time, which really hurts Supports.

With deadly poisons and deep devotion, the Damage Champion Deidre, The Omen is now revealed!
Unfortunately, there's no voice acting in this one. I talked with a friend about a month ago, and she said she could get it done. Obviously, that plan fell through, and I didn't want to wait any more than I already had.

All of these comments about Shirtless Koga, and only one quote comes to my mind.

"I finally rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe."

@BaeWulf95 All too easy, Bomb King

"Her 'triggerbot' skill is on a 5s cooldown and it's rather aim assist and not fully aim bot unlike lian"

You misunderstand what a triggerbot is. A triggerbot is a type of hack that fires for you when your crosshair is over an enemy, not an aimbot. Lian's aimbot also only deals 400 damage, not 1000+headshot potential. In fact, it probably takes less skill, since all you have to do is activate Laser Sight and then wildly shake your aim over an enemy to deal damage, don't even have to press the fire button.

"The one and only reason I added later sight is so that she can't be countered by specific champs like evie or get out zoned or pressured by mobile champs easily. "

That's a bad reason. Cavira is a sniper, and as such she's designed to be more susceptible to the high mobility Flanks. Strix is already annoyingly good at dealing with Flanks because of his huge burst, there doesn't need to be another Sniper that punishes Flanks for just existing or doing their job properly.

"I rlly want to iron her balance in the game if she ever were to get added to the game."

She won't be. No Champion Concept is ever going to be added to the game. The best you can hope for is to have a really interesting and unique idea, which might get read and might inspire someone to make something similar. If you're making a Champion Concept because you think it will be added to the game, you're going to be very, very disappointed.

The most important part of a Champion Concept isn't balance, because in all honesty you cannot tell how balanced a Champion will really be until they are played. Rather, the Conceptual part is the most important, as it is a Concept. The exact numbers won't stick with someone and make them think "man, I really like these ideas", it's the actual ideas that will.

Well, it's certainly an interesting concept with some very different ideas. Right now, I don't have a very good grasp on it, though. As it is, it definitely sounds like it would be awkward or clunky to control.

And as for a mobility-based Ultimate, it doesn't seem that useful. You're locked out for a long 1.5s, and you can't get hit by anything during this time, and then your reward is getting to move around well, and trigger an explosion (you never specify the explosion damage or the cooldown it seems to have.)

I believe this was posted on the old forums, am I right?

Gonna ask the same thing I ask of every Champion Concept when I first see it.

Why did you make this? What does it bring to Paladins that gives it a unique playstyle compared to the rest of the cast?

Resurrecting is kind of broken. The only reason it works on Terminus is because it is only himself he can revive, it is a slow charging Ultimate, and it leaves him open for quite a bit to be counterattacked.

I overall can't get a good feeling for what this Champion does, aside from punish people for being good at the game. Terminus (again, yeah yeah I know) also is a very punish-focused Champion, but he punishes people for being bad at the game. Maybe it could help if you explained what your goal was in making this?

So... Here's the problem with your goal. The character is a sniper (but rather than needing skill like other snipers, you just activate a triggerbot. Really, the hitboxes are generous enough that you don't need that) and thus you really are only going to see them on a few maps. And I don't expect them to have that much of an effect on team composition, as you said. Team Composition is based more around the map and the choice of Front Lines/Supports (Front Lines and Supports generally have the greatest effect on the game due to their control over the flow of battle, and will affect everyone's playstyle the most). 3 DPS works when you have someone like Barik who has more area control than the others, or Jenos with his damage bonus, Champions who can allow you to draft higher mobility Damages, giving them extra freedom.

I have to be honest, I don't like this Champion. They feel like just a different kind of Kinessa, but with a triggerbot instead of skill.
