So, I think other people and I would highly appreciate a champion that is somewhat different. I know that "different" is a broad term, but rito, let me explain. See, I absolutely LOVED the new mechanics with Bard with his little chimes to collect around the map. Another good example is like Udyr and his different stances. I feel like league would be improved if we had a champion that is COMPLETELY different, such as a Champ that has other objectives like Bard and his chimes. I know this is really hard to pinpoint down, but I feel like rito can understand this. Just some variety, not a new adc that has a slightly different q poke then all other adcs ever.

On another note, so I know you guys are really trying to work on this, but I think you guys should really try and push as hard as you can to make every Champ viable in meta. I know this is OBVIOUS but I really feel like this is something you really should push for. I know you guys have probably thought of this, but instead of indirectly trying to balance champions with tweaking items and jungle, directly tweak their abilities and passives.

Sorry for this long-winded, whiny like post but I appreciate if anyone read this, and would be more than happy if anyone would take this into account. Thanks! -Parkbobo

As for making Champs viable in the meta, the meta does change, so they have to account for that. Certainly, some of them will rise and fall as that meta changes - as we have seen, entire classes of Champs can suddenly become more "viable" off a single item change.

Some Champs do encourage a specific team comp. Bard, as you said, needs to be supporting an ADC that can hold their ground while he roams. So I wouldn't focus on pigeonholing a Champ into the current meta, but just giving them tools to succeed at whatever their goal is. A Champ designed to shred through tanks won't be a "meta pick" if Tanks aren't the current strong class.

As for unique champions in general, I think Riot has done a great job with that lately. The most recent releases-

Bard - A wealth of unique mechanics from his own personal objectives to his Ult Rek'Sai - Who has an entire vision mechanic unique to her in all of League Kalista - if nothing else, has one of the first Ally-control abilities Azir - the closest to a true micro Champ we have Gnar - did something different with transformations
