you guys just dont have any creativity :P idk if you realized it or not but boxes can block skillshots, they can be used as wards, they can make your opponent leave lane, you can fear your opponent into a tower or away from allies, it can be used to secure drake and baron, you can use it to steal red and blue, it can be used to push a wave back for breathing room, you can stand inside of a ring of boxes and dance while the enemy dives you and dies, rylias makes it hard for your opponent to react to the fear, it blocks turret shots, you can teleport to it, and that's not even considering the combinations that other champions on your team can do with it with their own abilities.
the clone can do anything you can do without getting you killed and if destroyed damage your opponent. it also counts as another champion so you can temporarily get buffs on your clone from things like relic shield that require an allied champion. i havent tested it, but
seems like it could be interesting to use if it works. i dont know how many passives actually work on the clone, but thormail would be interesting and warmogs as well once you have the 3k hp, but like i said i dont experiment a lot with the clone.
point is there are hundreds of things to do with just those two abilities.
