Kleptomancy rework idea - EXPLICIT (mature audiences only)

The theme of this rework is simple: you literally steal items/gold from your opponent.

The mastery is now procced through just basic attacks (remove the spell usage aspect to prevent it from being busted on Ez/Gp).

New definition:

"Basic attacks on enemy champions have a chance of knocking an item/portion of gold/consumable out of the enemy's inventory to a nearby location around them. The orphaned item can be picked up by any champion that has a free item slot to accommodate it upon walking over it. Only items of 0-1000 Gold (based on level) can be dropped."

This rework does a few things. First, it makes the keystone inherently better on melee champions in a natural way: a melee champion is in a better position usually to pick up a stolen item since they will be closer to it (in melee range) and usually have better mobility. Second it makes for more interactive gameplay for both the player and the opponent since both parties have a chance to redeem the orphaned item with the opponent having a natural home field advantage. Third it's just more thematically satisfying since actual theft is at stake :D

I picture the most common drops would be control ward charges, basic ward charges, corrupting pot charges, pots, doran items (more rare), component items like long swords (medium-high rarity), and most rare of all 900 gold items like mortal reminder or bramble vest (very rare and only possible late game around levels 15-18). Also maybe as the levels get higher and people have less eligible items to drop, it could be possible that a satchel of 3 control wards could drop (assuming the enemy is holding 3) or multiple charges of basic wards.

This would be the most broken thing in any video game ever.

This is 100 percent trolling

Why do you think it's so broken?

This isn't an argument. It's just dismissive. Lame.

While I don't particularly like any of Certainlyt's champions, I do respect that the guy doesn't just make another champion with a simple dash, a damage buff and a b-line skillshot. But maybe you're more into a champion's theme than distinct gameplay patterns and that's okay too. I like that League accommodates the tastes of many types of players.

This would be broken on ADCs, even if you argue against this by saying that melee champions are in a better spot to pick them up. A bad spot literally wouldn't matter, if your Lucian gets a pickaxe drop from the enemy ADC he will flash for it and go all in, because now HE got an insane powerspike for nothing.

That would only be possible late game around levels 15-18. I'm saying the drops scale from around 50-1000 based on level and that rarity is based on the value of the drop.

What would happen: Two melee top laners would take this and beat each other up, and when both got low, the one who managed to steal the other's health potion(s) wins lane.

This would also still be broken on ranged champions since, even if you're not getting the stuff dropped, you'd be frequently forcing the enemy laner to drop what they're doing to pick up their own items.

By that same token if you took this version of Klepto you don't have a keystone that grants you damage or defense so contesting dropped items wouldn't necessarily go in your favor.

This is literally 10x worse than current Klepto...

Good comment. Thoughtful, presents a clear point/argument and isn't just fishing for upvotes. Well done, I think you're really going places!

I am, cz I know how to keep silly & useless facts and opinions to myself without looking dumb, but good job on having the balls showing those stuffs in this thread.

Look at the content of you comments. You provide no opposing argument for your views. You've added nothing to the discussion. The only "content" I can comment on from what you've provided is a critique of the complete lack of content they contain lol.

And you received 0 support on your rework which you have "no idea" why it wouldn't work. I don't even know why you're still trying to argue with me.
