I have always appreciated the inclusion of Tope as an integral aspect of K'Sante's story. I think that somebody with such an influence on the champion deserves some love too, so I imagined what his kit might look like if he was a champion. With the Pride event happening, this is as good a time as any to post the idea. Here's the process I went through to create it, and what I've got so far. Feedback is welcome, I didn't include numbers since I know nothing about balance, but let me know what you think of the abilities. What would you change?

We know that Tope is a skilled archer, methodical and patient, and works well with others. I tried to include those unique parts of his personality, but thought it would also be cool if he had a "stance-change" similar to K'Sante, but this time on a toggle. AFAIK there are only two champs like that in League so far (jayce and elise); I think there's room for one more, and it would be a cool way to tie them together in-game reflecting lore. I think that Tope should be a jungler, primarily as jungle and toplane is a solid duo and they are monster hunters after all. This toggle could swap him between range and melee, allowing high skill expression and adaptability.

Without further ado: Tope, The Beast Hunter

* Passive Innate - Lurk: While in[ brush](https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/Brush), Tope gains [ghosting](https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/Unit_collision) and 10% bonus movement speed, increased to 30% while facing a[ visible](https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/Sight) enemy[ champion](https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/Champion) within 1400 range. The bonuses persist for 2 seconds after leaving brush.
* Innate - Pursue: Hitting enemy champions or monsters with Perfect Shot or Preparation applies a Pursued mark to the target for 4 seconds, during which they are revealed as well as grant sight of a 300-unit radius around them. If Tope is nearby when the target is hit, he gains ghosting and 10% bonus movement for 4 seconds, increased to 30% while he is facing a Pursued target. Additionally, the first cast of both Leap and Precision against a Pursued target is enhanced.
* The bonus movement speed from Lurk and Pursue can stack, but cannot exceed 30%.

The trap will spring upon contact with an enemy, dealing magic damage every second over 4 seconds.
