If HotS and LoL were to exchange a Champion and Hero, who would you exchange?

Just as a "what if" thing, say that Blizzard and Riot did a collab and brought one Hero from HotS into League, and sent one Champion from League into HotS. Who would you exchange? Note that this would be for a guest-star appearance, and would not entail removing any Champion from the game.

For my personal pick, I'd exchange Ahri for Alarak. Alarak's such a dick, but you love him for it, and his abilities would do really well in League. Ahri, on the other hand, would be nice to have in HotS since there are no gumiho characters (AFAIK) in any of Blizzard's IPs.

Ivern and Kel'Thuzad.

Ivern into hots because his ability design is not at all made for wave clearing and is pure utility, which you can get away in HOTS since cs isn't a thing. His passive would have to be changed a bit though since the merc camps have a fairly big impact in the game.

Kel'Thuzad in LOL because he's a rare example of a hero who starts weak, but grows strong after a while. This would not be out of place in LOL, to be rewarded for playing your champion properly and scaling into a late game monster.

But honestly, my first choice was for Ragnaros and his lava wave to come in. XD

Ragnaros would be awesome, but I'm sure Riot would say "FUCK NO" to Lava Wave, even if it had a 5 minute cooldown.

I would exchange Braum and Abathur.

I would love to see how something like Braum's shield would play out in HotS. There are options over there if you want to be a tank that gets in the way, and I think Braum could fit right in and show them how it's done.

Abathur would just be a delight to see in League. Exchanging a full character's map presence for the ability to turn any 1v1 into a 1v1.5 in an instant wouldn't necessarily be the healthiest thing, but for a temporary crossover event it would definitely mix things up.

I would exchange Sona for Asmodan his objective clearing powers would be a change to leagues high champion damage and sonas auto target abilities would be a welcome change to hots
