Would anyone else be interested in more traditional RPG elements in League?

Things like:

  • Traditional stats that affect multiple, smaller stats (Vitality, Intelligence, Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, Charisma etc.) (Charisma would affect buffs, debuffs, and those pesky invisible auras Riot hates)
  • A few more damage types from the massive pool of damage types out there (Elemental Damage -- Slash, Piercing, Blunt -- Poison, Burn, Curse -- etc.)
  • Defensive stats that interact with different forms of damage (Deflection vs. Single Target, Reflex vs. AoE, Willpower vs. DoT, Fortitude vs. Ambient Damage)
  • Accuracy instead of Crit Chance with Graze, Hit and Critical Strike Zones and a more fluid damage gradient (e.g. Graze equals 75% damage, Hit 100%, and Crit 125% damage)
  • Roles that you choose and affect how much use you can make of each stat (Marksmen gets 10% less Health from Vitality; Tanks gets 10% more) and that grant you bonus effects throughout the game
  • Less ways to directly increase/decrease damage and more ways to augment it (e.g. Penetration, Increasing Spell Radius / Range, getting Accuracy, Buffing Allies, etc.)

I think elements like these would give League more flavor, instead of making it a game about the FotM champions, the "perfect" imbalance, and winning Ranked.

some of them kinda sound interesting while others would be pretty terrible.

for example it has been suggested in the past to add an entirely new stat to the game, that increases utility scaling, to allow the separation of support focused utility playstile and damage focused mage playstile.

riot already explored this in a way with the new support items and masteries that specifically increase healing and shield power.

making item stats scale off base stats of individual champions (not just whole classes), and hence allow tuning of individual champions has been suggested aswell. its kinda what item 3053 and item 3057 do for example.
