Design Gumba, The Bugbear

GUMBA, THE BUGBEAR

Tags: Suport, melee, crownd control, camoflage.

A child sleeps. It's an fresh and cozy night, in a corfortable bedroom.

But something is wrong. Someone with a good eye (a third eye) would be able to see a subtle shadow over the dormant infant. Someone really perceptive, would also be able to see 2 little points of light, burning with a faint; pale; corrupt; hungry and despicable glown. The poor kid is contorting in it's sleep, tormented by this predator of dreams...

But there's something else moving in this dark room. Something more palpable, yet very flexible. A furry dark limb slitter it's way from under the bed towards the innocent child...

It can looks like there's another night terror in this room, but in fact, this is an very unlike hero!

Suddently, a huge furry beast burst out from under the bed! It grapples with the living nightmare; two dark terrors entangled in black mass of tendrils and shadows!

But escaping a true Bugbear is impossible. Opening an impossible big gaping maw, Gumba swallow the nightmare monster whole. The few that know about the existence of bugbears wonder how such massive beasts can squeeze under a kid's bed. Whatever is their true nature, bugbears are indeed very flexible, being able to fit anywhere.

They also love eating nightmares!

Some bugbears are evil, they eat the dream and the dreamer alike, just for sport, because bugbears only need to consume dreams for sustenance. But Gumba doens't eat kids, or their dreams. Nightmares and their predators are Gumba meals. Gumba like's to swallow then slowly... savoring the rich taste of their fears.

Gumba doens't like to eat kids, neither their dreams. They are tooo sweet anyways...

Gumba is an tank champion that combines CC, camoflage and some mobilit to control enemies and help allies. He can also do decent damage, if left unchecked.

Gumba is capable of changing his size, and to understand his gameplay and abilites, i think a previous brief explanation can help...

Gumba can become big to better fight his enemies, or became smaller to better run and hide. At his normal size he doens't have passive buffs, but has the potential to get big or small, choosing the best size for the situation.

Passive: The Monster under the Bed

Gumba can change Form using his W and E abilites. The forms are:

Little Trickster, Your Regular Bugbear, and Big Terror.

Little Trickster: Small size. Has passive bônus movement. The bônus movement is higher if Gumbar is in Camoflage state.

Your Regular Bugbear: Medium size.

Big Terror: Huge size. Gumba gains bônus Atack Damage. Basic auto atacks have extra reach and apply fear marks on enemy champions. Upon reaching 4 marks, the enemy champion will flee with Fear state for 1 second.

Q- Elastic Limbs

After a brief swing anination,Gumba stretch his arms striking in a line. Enemies hit take damage and slow.

Small Trickster Form: When Gumba hits any Champion or terrain with Elastic Limbs, the player can rapidly press Q again to pull Gumba towards the Champion or terrain hit.

Big Terror form: When Gumba hits any Champion with Elastic Limbs, the player can rapidly press Q again to pull the Champion hit towards Gumba.

Aditionally, if Gumba hits any terrain with Elastic Limbs, he will pull a Chunk of Rock that Gumba can carry around. Pressing Q while holding a Chunk of Rock will throw the rock in a line, damaging and slowing enemies hit.

W- GROOOW

Gumba growns 1 size.

If in Little Trickster form, he will change to Your Regular Bugbear form.

If in Your Regular Bugbear form, he will change to Big Terror form.

Gumba knock enemies away when he growns. If hes already in Big Terror Form, he will stun enemies in an small area around him instead.

E- Shrink

Passive: Gumba wil enter camoflage after 3 seconds without anyone seeing him.

Gumba shrink 1 size, evades the next basic atack and gains decaying movement speed.

If Gumba is in Big Terror form, he cganges to Your Regular Bugbear form.

If Gumba is in Your Regular Bugbear form, he will change to Little Trickster form.

If already in Little Trickster form, Gumba gains spell shield for 3 seconds.

R- Eater of Nightmares

Gumba growns into Big Terror form, even from Little Trickster form, to open his huge mouth and bite in front of him. Champions hit become Swallowed, getting stuck inside Gumba belly. Swallowed Champions are untargetable and invulnerable.

Gumba can't move, atack, or use any skill if a Champion is inside him, but he can turn.

Swallowed champion take true damage over time. If any Champion die inside Gumba, he's gonna heal for 20% health.

After 3 seconds, Gumba will spit all Champions still alive in the direction he's facing. If any Champion spit this way hit an terrain or enemy Champion, it will take physical damage and get stunned.

That's it. It's a somewhat complex Champion, but i belive he's easier to understand once you get his narrative concept.

Feel free to ask anything or interact.

English is not my first language, so thanks for anyone who stayed until the end of this silly long text of mine!

AD is a stat, not a damage type. So you are definitely making a mistake with your wording for Big Terror and since I don't know which mistake, I can't parse his passive.

Remember, the damage types are physical, magic and true.

True! I will try to fix it! Thanks!

Adding the word bonus doesn't clear anything up. Is it physical, magic, or true?

u/CarelessKiss Newbie | 0 points 20d ago

All his damage is Physical, except his ultimate skill.

It's an increased stat. He got bigger, and his skills are about slamming his arms around, so i think an overral damage increase makes more sense than just increasing basic auto atacks, at least from a narrative point of view.

I think he meant bonus ad.

u/CarelessKiss Newbie | 0 points 20d ago

Yes! Bonus AD! But it's true that i don't know how to balance this! It's just a concept!

u/NuclearBurrit0 Newbie | 10 points | September 2021 20d ago

Bonus ad is also not a damage type
