@PWNDotcom

my concept was made last year...

That's... Not what we're talking about?

You said they didn't work on Tiberius until after the contest, when that's far, FAR from true.

@TangAce said in Cynthia, The Dimensional Traveler:

yeah we have no evidence ofc, but it's really weird that he's released well 3 months after reddit contest for exemple, cause I don't think they were working on him before since before they were busy working on raum

Tiberius is in a datamine from March

Some brief context first. I recently attended HRX last weekend, and one of the Panels was a Design-A-Champ Panel where the attendees worked together to make a Paladins Champion. After that Panel, I took what we had made and put it into this.

[Lore]

Since times long forgotten, the powerful and enigmatic creatures known as Woodsborn have defended the forests of The Realm, and the creatures which reside in them. But in recent years, their leaders have grown more and more afraid of the "civilized" world and their tools, and have restricted the Woodsborn Warriors to only the center of their lands. Disgusted at their apparent lack of care or action, one of the warriors named Xyris led a revolution, overthrowing the elders and establishing herself as the new leader of the Woodsborn. She would not stand idly by while the humans dug, chopped and carved away at the natural world. Instead, she would lead the verdant tide against man and machine alike. Xyris dances across the battlefield, cutting down any who would challenge her.

@Dusklicious Decimation would have been a far better choice instead of Crush. It helps you carry a lot more, especially when your team is bad at dealing damage. Crush also has a long-ass cooldown since you weren't using any It Waits.

Why are there only 4 abilities, and why are they all so dull and uninspired?

@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."
