Riot should consider encouraging cold-themed comps via skill interactions

It's always bothered me that some champions have skills that should compliment each other, but instead don't. The biggest example that comes to mind are the cold champs: Anivia Ashe Braum Nunu Lissandra Sejuani Many of these champs apply "cold slows" -- maybe it would be too strong to allow Anivia to E-crit people Ashe has slowed with her arrows, or for Ashe to get first-arrow crits on folks slowed by Braum's Q or R, but the current situation just makes it seem like something is missing.

Note that there is a precedence via other champions getting bonus interactions from their teammate's abilities: Nocturne + any fear Talon + any slow Yasuo + any knock-up/displacement Cassiopeia + any poison

It would be cool if Riot could actually explore this further and encourage themed comps. Possibilities would be:

Poison comps Fear comps Fire comps Cold comps Nature comps

etc. Champions belonging to a theme could get different bonuses or effects from interacting with similar-themed champs on their own team.

It's just a thought for something that might be kind of fun -- it could also allow for some new setups in champion select, such as themed kill lanes on bot instead of the standard support/marksman, etc.

The boards are full of good ideas today. Run some fucking Pokédeck comps.
