Mobility counter

So I recently started playing Smite and I noticed something that I thought would be really good for League. Just to clarify I am not saying Smite is better, it has its own issues, its just where I got the idea.

Some Gods have abilities that would only silence mobility spells. The player could still move, AA, and cast all other abilities not associated with mobility. Now, we've already seen this with the new poppy but I think similar ideas could be used to buff or nerf existing champions without breaking them. For example Garen could be nurfed so that his Q only stops mobility spells. This would still allow for him to reliably deal damage with his spin but allow counter play to his opponents. Or if we decide Galio needed a buff this effect could be added to one of his spells allowing him more peel and to land his ult without burning flash every time. On top of it being another nurf/buff lever, having a few champs being retrofitted with this effect would allow for more counter play against the ever popular mobile heavy champs without just resorting to heavier forms CC.

The nature of it is way too binary, ability it useless against anything immobile and crippling against mobility dependent ones. You'd be better off trying to ways for slows to impact dashes.

There's a Goddess in Smite (forgot her name) that can silence AA's. (Disarm I believe the ability is called) I actually really like that idea and hope Riot can do something similar on a future champion

EDIT: The Goddess's name is Bellona and her Scourge ability disarms her opponent and prevents them from AA for up to 3 seconds (At max rank)

But yeah, I really like that idea.

Uh, no. League is not a game for this to be fitting for, and I don't actually hope you insist Garens Q is nerfed any further almost to the point of essentially gutting him.

The silence exists not to just stop mobilty, but any CC from the champion he is hitting as well.

We also can't just tack in a new ability like this and expect it to work out, a lot of champions have no mobilty, some with little mobilty, this would just be a pain in the ass for the immobile fighters to deal with outside of the usual bs.
