Is Alarak's "Empower Me" feasible for League? Or would it break design rules?

Alarak (Co-op Missions)

To summarize what "Empower Me" does, it increases Alarak's attack and ability damage for each nearby allied unit while active. Now, if it were done in exactly the same way in League as in Starcraft 2, it'd be completely broken. But the idea of dealing increased damage for each nearby ally is intriguing.

Could this be workable into League on a future Champion, or is the concept incompatible?

I doubt it could work, the idea is reliant on a 5v5 teamfight but said Champion would need to be balanced around that optimal situation and whatever effect that is wouldn't be worth anything in a solo lane.

Worst case scenario, you get ganked and are 1v3 or more, and die painfully as your ability (presumably ultimate) is literally useless. Best case scenario, you get even more power in what presumably would already be a winning fight (3v1 or more)

Either way it would be really hard to appreciate as it relies on your team being nearby. If you are fighting though, either your teammates don't die and you are just making your snowball more enormous, or your team dies instantly and your ability is just as useful as if you were caught out of position.

Personally I'd like to see Destructive Blast more (Basically Nami Ult, but it pushes people back like 200 units)

Well, what if it scaled off more than just allied Champions? What if this were placed on a minion-mancer Champion and said ultimate gives you extra damage power for each nearby allied Champion and/or pet?

Probably still broken, yes?
