Vilemaw idea

Galiö·11/26/2019, 8:25:51 PM·40 votes·14,667 views

Hey guys just random idea from me again.

Since TT is gone and riot was thinking about how to use Vilemaw I figured I'd shoot an idea!

We current have a double Herald System, instead I propose we get Herald into Vilemaw.

After Herald is killed Spiders drop down onto the map replacing rift scuttles (spiders scare them away)

Spiders will act as scuttle bugs however they shoot webs that slow instead of run away and getting hit by 3 webs snares champions hit.

Also when spiders are killed they leave behind visions like scuttlers did but also a slow against enemies that pass through.

The second herald spawn will be replaced with Vilemaw.

Vilemaw will provide a buff/aura that was similar to what Vile provided before but only to the champion that kills her. -there is a discussion in comments about what else vilemaw can provide, some good ideas in there-

  • better herald

  • zzrot like effect/summon

  • use of alcoves

  • maybe automatic spider-zzrot that is summoned in the alcoves but can run super far?

This may make players play around the top side of the map more? Maybe.

Idk.

Just shotting ideas around. Not really refined.

I’m not sure if Vilemaw’s buff would fit in nicely in SR. The spiders are a really cool idea though, as a more aggressive version of the scuttlers, both in terms of their attack pattern and their debuff zone.

Vilemaw is by far the best designed epic monster in this game. Sad to see it not in use.

That actually sounds pretty cool. Perhaps 2 entrances that open up in the alcoves after a certain point, and if you defeat Vilemaw, spiderlings emerge from the holes in the ground to assist your top and bot lane minions (and maybe actively prioritize enemy champions/structures).

I would love to see Vilemaw turned into a champion. We have elise, but she isn't a spider 100% of the time. Would be cool if Vilemaw was playable.

Before anyone says "He's too strong" Or anything. Remember we have kindred, A'Sol, and malphite, who is mountain sized.

I didn't hear that name in a while, I miss that spider he was my favorite boss monster to bait enemies in with teemo and then kill them

I support this!

That would actually be really cool, I really want vilemaw brought to Summoner's Rift

They can rethink what her actual buff or use would be, but she'd make a great fit for a top lane objective. 2 rifts aren't even close to the worth of 2 drakes currently.

I personally think that Baron just need to be swapped with Vilemaw in general. The concept of the creation is much better overall and is actually challenging to go up against due to how it interacts with its opponents. Baron on the other hand is disgusting... it looks like a bad replication of Vilemaw or a poor ripped off version of the Alien Queen from ratchet and clank(2002) with 2 heads poorly added.

Someone at Riot needs to read this!

Vilemaw climbs up into the top Lane alcove. Give top Lane some more importance to the game. Why not

Vilemaw just looks awesome we need him in Rift no matter how it's done, even if we had to replace baron with vilemaw that'd be wurf

This needs to happen Riot! Do NOT waste this potential, this unused but amazing content, and do not ignore a chance for better balance!
