Latest champs clearly shows Riot has run out of concepts

Latest 4 champs:

- Steals summoner spells - is a mix of Naut with a Darius like execute, nothing unique about him. - mimics other champs appearances, but also her kit is just stolen spells from other champs (LB, Zyra, Karma).

and now Sylas. A stupid champ that steals other ultimates. And steals the chain concept from Alistar.

All 4 are overloaded as well and have just about every damn spell concept in the game (shield, heals, roots, etc).

I clearly don't see why Sylas had to be made in the first place. Stealing ultimates is a balance nightmare and isn't unique or fun to play against. This is just Squid5's **half assed attempt at being CertainlyT. Which you clearly aren't. **

Squid, you did fine champs before (Ornn, Ivern). This is not the way to go, and you need to take Sylas back to the drawing board or delete him. League will be worse with this champ in the game.

So with this said, I agree with others that Riot is running out of concepts for new champions. They just steal other concepts, slap it on a new one and call it a day. Nothing is unique or new about them.

Riot, stop making new champs now since you clearly don't know what to make anymore. Focus on reworks and balance issues, and come back with a new champion after awhile that is ACTUALLY NEW with something that isn't stolen from others.

i do not see how BRINGING SOMETHING NEW IN TO THE GAME is "run out of concepts"

I'm not sure you've painted with a large enough brush there. lol Didn't Wukong just steal from LB then. Didn't Zyra just steal from Lux Didn't Syndra just steal from Veigar? Didn't Naut just steal from Blitz?

"I dont like it so its unoriginal and should be deleted"

If your argument had been that these champs cause balance problems in the game and need to be looked at I would've completely supported you. The fact that your argument is that Riot is running out of ideas because these champs are not unique is beyond ridiculous.

Zoe -- Steals summoner spells (new), shoots out a projectile whose path can be altered (new), shoots out a projectile whose ranged is increased based on terrain (new)

Pyke -- gains AD from health (new similar to Vlad though), hook which must be charged to pull (new), execute ultimate which gives full gold to an ally champion (new)

Neeko -- stealing appearances (new), root duration increased based on targets hit (new), ability echos as long as it hits a target (new I think?)

I'm just wondering why everyone forgot that Alistar was the one with the chains.

So, 3 champs based around concepts that hadn't existed in the game beforehand and are things that had been requested/speculated upon by the community, and a champ who has an ability that must be described in terms of at least two other champs, thus meaning it also didn't exist in the game beforehand. Yes, rito is such a bad company at creating things.

The new champion looks super great :D I wanna be a melee using MF's ult lol.

heres MY champion idea!

Cryler, The Fractured (name/title subject to change)

Passive - Siphon: All enemies within x range take 1 true damage every second and heals Cryler for that much. Scales with level 1 - 18

Q - Chaotic Barrage: 1-5 Do x area damage in 1-5 random spots in an x radius around Cryler

W - Warped Senses: Reveal enemies in unrevealed areas, but may not be the right enemy (it could be hecarim but reveals it as Pyke, only champions on enemy team though)

E - hmmmm

R - Desperate Measures: Swap your % health with an enemy or ally. OR, split the difference of health % between you and another character. (save an ally by giving up health, survive dieing by taking half of enemies health, bad move if you pick the wrong target though).
