Showerthought: Interesting Old champion abilities should be brought back on Newer kits

so Everybody has that one or two abilties they miss from older seasons that sadly got dumpsterd in a rework. i was wondering if it would be possible to bring any of em back on newer kits that would accommodate them

Ivern - Triggerseed completely replaced with _Bulwark _ https://i.imgur.com/tkMO7Yi.png

I dont like that Ivern has a reliable low-CD source of burst damage and worse yet I hate it when max CDR Ivern just nonstop buffers HP bars with 700HP poke-soaks. Ivern is supposed to be a pacifist so his gameplay should emulate that. I really wish Riot would fully go on-board with the Pacifist-run playstyle and tune down the deceptively high damage ivern is capable of via his E. I also think this would help differentiate Ivern from just being a "Jungle Janna" dime a dozen enchanter shield spammer. you can be helpful to a teamwithout ALSO having to deal insane amounts of damage ya know. Putting a nurturing seed on an ally is much more "Iverny" than putting than turning them into a walking bomb.

Amumu - Curse of the sad Mummy reworked to be_ Idol of Durand_ https://i.imgur.com/REQ7LAK.png

Functionally the two ults do the same thing however I find Durand more satisfying visually and from a gameplay perspective. IN ADDITION TO THAT the forced taunt would actually BENEFIT amumu due to the Enrage (E) synergy. I always thought it was weird that amumu directly benifits from people focusing him via E yet his ultimate outright prevents that. not to mention the Taunt would drag melee champs in range of the rest of amumu's kit.

Kalista - NEW R Omen of Death (old Yorick R but only castable on Black Spear buddy)

Quick thoughts: usually the way this ability would be used most would be to give your marksman a second life and double down on your hardcarries. However Kalista IS the carry so that already idea falls a bit flat which might help in keeping the ability balanced ALSO you know you can only use it on your blackspear target so Instead of 100% of the time attaching your spear to your support maybe players would finally be interested in attaching onto their diver/junglers like Xin or Camille. Maybe this would add a bit more shades of counterplay to the ability too.

what do you think? what are some old abilities you like to see return to the game?

How to remove ivern from the game without actually removing him from the game. How to make Amumu be even more of an ult bot. Also how to completely ruin kalista even more
