Ana was recently added to HoTS, and she can outright prevent healing for a limited time (whereas other heroes can choose talents that reduce healing). Should there be a Champion in LoL who gets that as a gimmick?
It'd certainly make for an interesting design, allowing you to hard-counter healers and lifesteal. But would this be too anti-fun?
bleufromage4 votesI think a Rioter would say this is unfair to a champion who's essence is to heal (raka). Too much of a slap to the face of an entire class of champs but..... they made yasou who can block every adcs source of agency with one ability and has no problem getting on top of that entire class with multiple dashes if conditions are right. So I guess yeah it's possible.
I shamelessly hijack this post to hate on yas.

As if that's ever unwarranted or undeserved.
Darkdemon6533 votesHotS is heavily built around the idea of champions being hard counter to other champions. HotS can get away with it because its laning phase is very non-traditional. It's rare to have two solo laners, which means being in a group of four is common. This allows teammates to cover your weaknesses and allow you to play to your strengths. It's also rare to be in the lane for an extended period of time due to the more objective-focused nature of HotS. It's also harder to snowball in HotS. There are more things to say, but I'll leave it at that.
In League, champions have to be able to survive 1v1 or 2v2 for many minutes. Any lead that one side gets can snowball easily without any recourse for the losing lane/team.
And as a side note, Biotic Grenade is an awful design, regardless of the fact that that kind of stuff is more reasonable in HotS.
Ahris2 votesKatrina still has gw
Doozku1 votesIt seems like it'd be too good against champions who rely on healing like 
or 
while not being very useful on any other champion. I don't think it should be in league although it works in HoTs because that game is all about breaking rules.
Linna Excel1 votesWell, such a champ would counterpick several champions like Soraka, Sona, Nami, Taric, and to a lesser degree Janna, Kayle, or Nidalee.
I'd prefer if such a champ existed, ie one that had grievous wounds in his kit, it wasn't a support or ADC. Preferably it'd be a top/jungler without CC.
Thairn1 votesI'd prefer grievous wounds being easier to purchase in game for more characters. right now you can only get it from a COMPLETED AP item, an AD item that ONLY builds into last whisper, and an armor item that ONLY builds into thornmail.
A healing shield would be cool though, like they deal additional "Anti-shielding" that healers have to eat through before the heal hits their target properly.
darkdill2 votesThat can't happen or you'll get powercreep between GW items.
DariusDemiurge1 votesMorgana's w should do that. Should nullify all healing in the area and expand over time.
UnboundHades1 voteshard counters are actually bs and have no place in a game with 5v5 sure with more people it could work but when you make an entire champion useless if i picked the counter then its just plain unhealthy
Paladin 0f Life1 votesShould jinx(rockets and movement), vlad and raka have healing tied in with masteries that over buff it? healing is broken when you do copius amounts of damage and/or build full tank(i.e. old mundo remeber that crap??). Healing is the #1 reason for anti fun champs that make you feel cheated or break the dang game and its why they removed it from chogath(but not 2000 now 1500 true dmg ult), why vlad removed spell vamp. and why raka, mundo and swain have always been a nightmare to balance.
GrievousFetus1 votesI'd go so far as to say I wouldn't mind a champion who temporarily reversed healing and caused enemy champions to take damage in place of their attempted heals.
Tenth Leper1 votesIf it was a single target ult that did no damage I could see it work. Kind of anti Kayle ult, but instead of preventing damage prevented receiving healing or shielding (or if we want to go crazy prevents any positive effects from being applied)
ActivatingEMP1 votesId love this on an assassin, but it would probably be too busted.
