A new champion that's tankier than all champions but has low damage and CC.

Pyrithegethon··2 votes·1,073 views

Imagine a champion as tanky as a 600 armor Malphite vs a 2 item ADC with the CC of Garen or Mundo(just 1 form of non hard CC) and the damage of full tank Alistar.

Sounds like a useless champion, right? Tanky as shit but with no damage or CC, what's the point?

This champion would be the literal definition of a wall in game. Can literally ignore you because you do no damage and doesn't need to deal damage in return but send a message that you don't bother me.

It wouldn't be a champion which gains tons of armor and mr but just takes heavily reduced damage against physical and magic damage dealers. Even when behind they would be tanky as all hell. Might make a hell of a split pusher. Just imagine a full tank Alistar with his ult permanently on taking almost no damage but only hits you for 300 damage with his full combo late game. Sure, if you have 0 true damage then they would kill you after 3 minutes but they won't have close to enough damage to do such a thing.

Now that I think about it, this concept could either be a new champion or the Dr. Mundo rework. Take little damage and ignore it and keep going on about your business.

Thoughts on such an idea? I know this sounds like tank meta but the ideal way this champion would be is with little CC, little damage to the point they would need a full minute to potentially kill a squishy.

Stopped reading at the damage of full tank alistar because it was clear to me you've never landed against alistar, lol. He fucking hurts.

How would he split push with no damage? How would he CS? What would he bring to any team? Tanks are supposed to have CC and low damage

No damage, no CC means he's just a pylon. Why would I want a big scuttle on my team?

Tanks are supposed to have CC and low damage against champions. Big difference to make there... ... Anyway a tank like the OP suggests would need to be a blocker, like braum.

Would be interesting if say... Resistances and mana were all converted into HP at a 10HP to 1 for resistances, and 1:1 on the mana. You could then just give him a passive 50%+1% per 1000 total HP damage reduction. Then his abilities could be about raising walls to defend his team (Maybe raise a stationary braum E that redirects damage to himself?), building terrain (Im thinking level 1 windwall size rocks), a self-shield that gives MS and damage reduction, and maybe an ultimate that lets him encase himself in stone for rapid healing, with a passive component that increases his total HP by a %+1% per 1000 total HP?

Look I will say this. The idea is not great, because while it would be fun maybe a few times to be unkillable what do yo do when your teams behind or even ahead. teams would just ignore you and go straight for the back line if you have low CC and damage. meaning that you could be wailing away on an enemy ADC but he would just attack another target. Its not very interactive and I mean when you have someone like Garen, who is almost un-killable when he is ahead, has only silence as CC, and deals tons of damage what would be the benefit of playing this "champion".
