Another champion that utilizes something similar to Rumble's heat mechanic would be a welcome sight

With Pyke's release, I feel quite glad to see another champion utilizing grey-health in a manner that TK would......and on a champion that fulfills a fairly different role, to boot! Game-design concepts like this keep the game fresh, it adds a sense of individuality and uniqueness to a champion and makes them a genuinely different experience to play. I felt the exact opposite with Kaisa and Zoe.....aside from their aesthetic and their quirks, they come off (to me, personally) as just another iteration of a champion-design that already exists. They're subject to the same rules as other champions of their ilk, in terms of itemization and general gameplay-nuances like positioning/trading/locking kills, and I don't feel incentive to play them even when game-balance is suited in their favour because there's just a lot of other really interesting dudes i wanna play

Rumble's another good example of a champion with Fresh Gameplay. There are very few champions like him--enjoying extremely low cooldowns to give him a sort of fast-paced vibe, but having to switch to a 100% fight-or-flight mentality when that bar reaches the red instead of managing heat and making Smart Trades as per usual. I just wanna say that, without getting into a HEATED debate over this, Riot hasn't fully EXTINGUISHED all their options when it comes to this avenue of champion design and there are still folks with a BURNING PASSION for this kind of thing.

And it doesn't have to be a carbon-copy version of Rumble's heat, either!! Maybe this new champion would want to try to keep his heat at an even 50%......like a champion that uses different skills or performs various actions to either RAISE or LOWER his heat, changing certain facets of his kit to suit different tasks at hand. He could spam Q to set himself on fire and kill stuff, he could take a dip in the river to cool down and provide better objective control, idk man the sky's the limit......please take it into consideration Rito

Chen's resource mechanic from HotS is something I'd like to see in LOL, I found that really fun

it'd make sense on a blitz rework imo

Not entirely the same, but I would love to get something similar to Moira from Overwatch. A champion juggling between healing and dealing damage, filling a resource bar with your damage to fuel your healing.

Would be especially great since we don't have a true medic champion in the game. Probably never going to happen, but let me dream.
