thread asking about your stance on creating a new role
we face a problem of "Meele"(sorry for not noting that before, ranged champions have theri ways of living) immobile champions being useless (not entirely but they are usualy gited to death), and this is a problem that patches cant fix because of the way champions interact
so the main problem lies in the fact that ballance beetwen mobile/ranged and meele immobile guys cant be solved by numbers because of the way they interact (or the fact that immobile ones cant interact with mobile or ranged ones)
In a recent thread about the ballance of immobile champions one guy made me think about an idea that actualy makes sence making immobile champions have a feature and a role that would encourage enemies interacthing with them on terms that even the odds more and pushing them into more of a commanding role where they are an important asset both to take down and to defend without being all about offense or defense
im mainly thinking about aoe buffs or debuffs being put into their kits that wouldnt affect the said champions but would force enemies to fight them on diferent terms but its not as easy to make something ballanceable and not game breaking on top of actualy fitting into champions theme and existing kit
lets say an aura that reduces ranged champions range by some units or an aura that makes dashing harder the thing is that this power would impact mainly enemies or allies meaningthat it needs some drawback, which would be either a consequence that makes buff harder to exploit (lets say you get increased damage for your allies but they gradualy lose mana) or a consequence once the "commander" dies or said debuff/ buf working on both allies and enemies (a roar that causes all ranged champions close by to lose some range, im not creative today)
**the idea is not refined yet and i realy want your feedback on the way you would aproach the issue of giving immobile champions some key feature or role that would allow them to interact with mobility and kiting in a diferent and more equal way **
also im adding a pool to check if you think that immobile champions should bring something special to the game instead of simple stats to know your opinion and to let rioters know about it (some people say they check their forums)
have no crowd-control built into their kits at all.
? And how are champions like 
going to compare to 
?
If you just have a black and white yes mobile, not mobile distinction you create a whole new level of problems - significantly weakening champions that were just mobile enough to get hit with the new penalties, while giving a significant boost to champions that barely dodged the penalties. Mobility isn't just a black and white thing, there's a solid gradient of mobility in game. There's also no single stat you can utilize to easily gradate a debuff. Hitting MS craps on 
, despite their overall rolls being very similar.
Even if you're going to assign a unique variable to each champion for a debuff to work properly without causing even more balance issues - mobility on champions varies significantly throughout the coarse of a game.

. Ashe can safely cause a Malphite-status initiation on the enemy team from sniper range, which has the potential to really obliterate a 4/1 push team that's trying to hold her tank hostage in top lane. You just...need to really think things through with CC.
and 
, pretty much the definition of immobile melee champions. My play style revolves heavily around forcing the enemy to come to me, because frankly, dragging that heavy ax/mace across the map is just exhausting. You can do this by blatantly showing your face split pushing so that someone comes to try to stop you (kill them) or two people come to stop you (kill them). Sometimes you have to get sneaky in a bush at the last second to catch the mobile champion by surprise and burst them down as they come to the lane.
) and did something to make the enemy team want to kill you before your team mates sounds interesting to me. I don't think an item that buffs your team mates is the right answer, though, because it's that "hidden power" that Riot dislikes so much. Perhaps an improved version of 
that did AoE damage out further and damaged structures for a few seconds and had a cooldown?
