Judaeth, Messenger of the Limbo is a custom champion in League of Legends.
Hello, summoners. This is Green Moriyama yet again with a new champion to present. Just like last time with Oonoki, I present yet another original champion concept that does not come from the "Journal of Champions." But to say, this is not the other joke champion I mentioned (that champion will be released at a later date). This champion concept is based off the work of another user who based his/her work off of a character named "Limbo" from the Warframe universe. This character has control of what is called "the Rift Plane" (or "the Void" to some; not the Orokin Void) which is a layered world that divides Limbo's enemies and allies between two battlefields (with exceptions). As someone who also takes some time in the Warframe 'verse, I recognized the reference and was intrigued to see his presence here on this wikia.
But, sadly with many custom champions on this wikia, they remain untouched after they are taken off the front page and do not develop beyond one or two worthwhile patches. Seeing the potential of this custom champion's kit going to waste, I chose to take it up and recreate it in the way I would reimagine it. With what knowledge I already have of Limbo from Warframe, I feel that I can recreate him adequately. Otherwise, all I have to say is enjoy Judaeth, messenger of what is called the Infinite Limbo and the arbiter of a power bestowed upon him. What will he bring to the table with his control between the normal plane and the rift plane? -Green Moriyama
Abilities[]
Judaeth and his abilities are affected by a mechanic called the Infinite Limbo, or the Limbo for short, an alternate plane that thematically overlaps with the "human plane." The Limbo acts as a global mark applicable to units through specific means by Judaeth, where applying to himself is a simple task. This "mark" grants statistical buffs/debuffs depending on if the target is an ally or an enemy to Judaeth; the strength of these buffs/debuffs are either affected by Judaeth’s level or the corresponding ability's rank.
- Using another ability when Judaeth is already in the Limbo only refreshes the 3-second duration.
- Enemies and neutral units are dealt damage on two instances: when they enter the Limbo and when they exit it.
- The damage reduction prevents Judaeth from spamming Banishment on a single enemy to abuse the missing health damage.
- It also prevents unhealthy damage caused when an enemy steps in and out of a Zone of Cataclysm repeatedly.
- Rift Walk allows Judaeth to continually be in the Limbo, triggering every 0.5 seconds.
- This ability is considered single target.
- On enemies within the Limbo, it is considered as an AoE ability for the sake of items such as Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
- Has a 0.5 second casting time.
- Cannot target self.
- The buff effects on allies does not extend if the unit is in the Limbo constructed by Destructive Cataclysm when Banishment’s duration expires.
- "Reduction of Banishment’s duration" essentially speeds up its timer by two-times. The duration is not permanently cut in half.
- Thus, the minimum duration of Banishment is 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5..
- "Hard Crowd Control" is considered under the "Disruption" section of Crowd control's categorization.
- Maximum mana cost is 185 / 225 / 265 / 305 / 345 when casting on a champion while 8 champions are in the Limbo.
- This maximum is 105 / 125 / 145 / 165 / 185 on the Twisted Treeline map, when 4 champions are in the Limbo.
- The purpose of Banishing units out of the Limbo is to help reduce the cost of casting Banishment on more desirable targets.
- It also allows Judaeth to deal the entry and exit damage on enemies in quick succession, although this process is gated due to the damage reduction of Denizen of the Limbo.
- The movement speed modifier is not counted as a slow.
- Buff-modifier clarification:
- Allies receive a 25% reduction to slows, causing them to only be three-fourths as effective on them (ie. 60% slows will become 45% slows).
- Enemies receive a 25% reduction to any MS buffs they receive, causing them to only be three-fourths as effective (ie. 60% MS buffs will become 45% buffs).
- Includes buffs/debuffs received from items and other units.
- Stacks of Rift Surge will show how much Denizen of the Limbo is buffed, updating every quarter of a second.
- When on the Twisted Treeline map, each stack instead grants 37.5% increased effectiveness instead of the original 25%.
- Duration extension by Destructive Cataclysm only applies to the initial magic damage and not any further damage inflicted through the process of entering or exiting its boundaries.
- Allies can also have their Banishment duration extended by being within the initial activation radius too.
Background[]
Lore[]
Judaeth travels across Runeterra, walking from door to door, person to person to spread the word of his fascination: the Infinite Limbo. A world he claims to be just on top of "this human plane," he offers its "grace" to those willing to accept its existence. Many have turned him away, but those who accepted his word found themselves empowered, seeing life in a slightly different way. And there is no catch; Judaeth never asks for any return but a simple word of "thanks" and a favour of self-reminder that the Infinite Limbo truly exists.
So what do you think? Does the Infinite Limbo really exist?
“ | "The Infinite Limbo calls, offering its wonders at the cost of nothing but your faith." |

Skins & Trivia[]
Skins & Splash-arts[]
- Debonair Judaeth
- Sub-Zero Judaeth
- Party Magician Judaeth
Trivia[]
- Judaeth is heavily inspired by Limbo, a character from the free-to-play third-person shooter, "Warframe."
- Judaeth's abilities mirrors those of Limbo while his personality & gestures are influenced by the aspiration of Limbo's looks: an English Gentleman.
- The (assumed) tinted screen when your champion is in the Limbo and the somewhat ghostly appearance the champion takes up mimics the visual effects of the Rift mechanics from Warframe.
- One of Judaeth's idle animation mimics an idle animation the character Limbo does: making a small firearm float in the air through supposed telekinetic powers.
- Judaeth's faith to the Infinite Limbo may be a reference to another character from the Warframe universe, Nef Anyo, although not as much as a greedy extremist as said character.
- In his death animation Judaeth disappears into the Infinite Limbo, making him another champion that escapes death.
- Profile image taken from one of the promotional posters for the movie "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."

Skins trivia[]
Debonair Judaeth
- This skin is a tribute to Valentine's Day of 20XX.
- This skin has major Art Deco influences in its design.
- He shares this theme with , , and .
Sub-Zero Judaeth
- He shares this theme with .
Party Magician Judaeth
- This skin is based off magicians that perform for children, using magic tricks specifically meant to entertain children.
Quotes[]
- Most of Judaeth's jokes refer to religious jokes.
- "Excuse me sir, but do you have a moment to talk about the saving grace of the Infinite Limbo?" is a reference to this meme.
- "There is no such thing as bad religion, my friend. Only bad people." is a quote based on a quote template, "There is no such thing as bad subject A, only subject B." which changes the blame from subject A (usually a larger subject, such as a music genre) to subject B (a more personal subject, such as the participant's preference).
- One famous quote that follows this template is Sir Ranuplh Feinnes's "There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing."
- "Does my religion discriminate? It surely does. The believers and the non-believers. But I treat everyone the same." is more or less a reference to how certain religious groups discriminate a person by their race/ethnicity, their sexuality, etc.
- "Banishment! This! World!" is a direct reference to a quote often said by the female protagonist of the Japanese romantic comedy series "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions" (中二病でも恋がしたい! chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai!; lit. Even with Eighth Grader Syndrome, I Want to Be in Love). In the series, the quote is said when the cast "access" the delusional world.
- Appropriately, Judaeth says this quote upon using Destructive Cataclysm, where he opens up a cataclysm that connects the Infinite Limbo plane with the normal plane.
Relations[]
- Due to his history with Demacia, his birthplace, Judaeth is not really fond of highly renowned Demacians and does not wish to be associated as a Demacian.
- Doesn't like to be affiliated with the Void or the Shadow Isles, which some people mistake him to be associated with from time to time.
