A stupid Idea: Akali's shroud

Ok, so Riot has tried and failed to make an ability that gives teamwide stealth (both with Lux and with Rengar in the testing phase), and it does seem like they want to explore the idea since they keep testing it.

Enter Akali.

Now I know that Akali is not in a great spot right now. But I want to make this clear that this idea is not with Akali's current kit in mind. Rather something that could be explored in her full VGU.

So we all know that Akali's shroud is basically a smoke bomb that keeps her hidden, but what if it could hide her team as well?

You're probably thinking, "That's insane! It'd be way too broken" and for the most part I'd agree with you since other attempts to apply group stealth have been met with disaster. But this idea has one key difference.

It is stationary. Unlike the possible Lux or Rengar group stealth, it only effects the target area.

This would probably be stupid utility in teamfights. But I think it's a neat idea.

Another idea would be to make her shroud function like Graves's smokescreen for everyone except Akali, but that's just copying Graves and harming your team.

So there's my stupid idea. Ralanr out!

I think it would be a cool and fun (at least... on paper..) trade off if the smoke bomb worked on everything like Kindred ult (except for maybe epic monsters). I guess it could give allies a move speed buff or something too.

So provide everyone inside stealth? Even hiding allies from each other?

Like a mini Nocturne ult?

I like the way you think!
