Invent an Aghanim's Scepter upgrade for your favorite champion

Stiv1234··26 votes·3,765 views

Aghanims is a DotA item which upgrades a characters skills in various crazy ways, mostly the ultimate. This can include simple number increases but also totally new mechanic or even complete abilities. Examples: Ahri now has 5 dashes on her ult. Malzahars ult is now a ground-targeted AoE with 300 radius. Zyras passive now shoots 4 missiles in 4 directions (front, left, right, back). If a missile hits a plant, it grows, increasing its damage by 50% and granting it splash damage.

I like this one. Should be able to use it when dead too, though. That'd be pretty cool.

I was thinking about creating shields for overhealing, but it could be easily wasted unless the shields lasted ridiculously long. This way, even if you mistime it and an ally dies it has some use :3 Except on Karthus. Which makes so much sense that they wouldn't synergize well.

Sona Crescendo's AoE increases and changes into a cone-shaped ability (same width close to Sona, up to 2x wider at max range); additionally, enemies hit by Crescendo are deafened, being unable to hear any game-related sound for the next 10 seconds (2nd one is more thematic than raw power, still cool) Janna Enemies who attempt re-enter Monsoon's storm are knocked back from the area again

Step 1. Use Monsoon Step 2. Use Azir's ult and throw enemies into it Step 3. Watch your enemies are jump between wall and Monsoon Step 4. Laugh (did same thing with OneforAll Azirs)

But if its passive it has no cooldown, see? ^^ the thing about aghanims is that on some its not a flat buff; its a tactical choice.

Karthus Ult hits allies as well. No one should escape death.

Empowered Requiem: Karthus channels for 3 seconds and, upon completing the channel, deals magic damage to all enemy champions. If Requiem kills an ally, Death Defied is extended by 3 seconds and Requiem can be recast within 5 seconds at no mana cost.

After this ult: The one time you don't want to hear "An enemy has been slain."

Sion - Is now truly unstoppable destroying ALL terrain he passes through permanently, but reduces his max speed by 8% per 100 units of terrain for the duration of his charge (half that for player created terrain)(cannot be reduced below 125ms)(deposits all terrain at the end of his charge) , and suppresses all enemies hit for the remaining duration of the ult and carries them with him, dealing 10% increased damage per enemy suppressed. Enemies hit while facing away from sion take 20% increased damage instead. Explosion radius now increases with distance travelled up to 1250 units. after covering 1/3 the max distance of the ult, fears enemies away not directly hit by sion by 0.75-1.5 seconds, and has their armour reduced by 10-40%.

Range is now global.

Swain - Ravenous Flock now costs a flat amount of mana, instead of ramping

I assume the cost would need to be somewhere in the 3-5 tics region for the unbuffed ult. Otherwise, it's way too op.

Shaco Hallucinate now summons 2 clones instead of 1; the first can be controlled by using Alt+click, while the second can be controlled by reactivating this ability (i.e. pressing R). The clones also deal and take normal damage (instead of 75% dealt and +50% taken).

Nautilus A depth charge is sent after every enemy champion in cast range.

Viktor Chaos Storm now silences all champions that remain in the area.

Fiddlesticks Crowstorm now fears enemy champions around Fiddlesticks for 0.5/0.75/1 seconds after he teleports.

Teemo Noxious Trap DOT is continuously reapplied at the end of its duration as long as Teemo remains within 600 range of the affected enemy (think Doom's ult + Aghanims).

Aghnaims is pretty powerful.

Lion, for example, is has one of the strongest single target nukes in the game (875 point and click base damage ult). Aghnaims makes it 1000 damage and AOE. lol.

Fiddlesticks Enemies caught in Crowstorm are feared until they leave the area or it ends. Shen Stand United causes Shen to gain a portion of the targeted ally's AD/AP for a duration after teleporting. Zilean Chronoshift creates four one-second Time Bombs around the target upon revival. Sion Unstoppable Onslaught carries champions hit along for the full duration and it can no longer be stopped by player-created terrain. Ekko Ekko can opt to cast Chronobreak again within 4 seconds of the initial cast, with the same effects but returning to the first point of use. Karthus Requiem's damage can no longer be prevented in any way. Singed Poison Trail now does increasing damage over time.
