Riot should take some notes from Zarya (Overwatch)

Zarya's one of the toughest tanks to use in Overwatch, but also really rewarding if used right. If her shields (which she can put on both herself and on allies for brief periods of time) absorb incoming damage, they increase the firepower of her main weapon.

This kind of "block stuff, get more damage" style has only been done so far with Nocturne and Jax (IIRC), but they aren't damage-absorbing shields. A Champion with a Zarya-like mechanic would be a lot of fun, IMO, if a tad frustrating to the enemy. But there'd be clear counterplay: "Don't attack the shields, they don't last long!"

We need more champs like D.Va IMO

And by that I mean a young, fit, attractive female champion

Riot in general should just rework most of their champs again the only one I really agreed with was switching roka from mana to health seeming how the mana was far more op in mid/top compared to bot meaning her ult basically got 2 kills. Where as now it stil lcan but it relies on that person know what to do once they get health

I honestly really like playing zarya so I can agree with something like this. it could work sorta like mordekaiser.. e? the ability where he and another character get the aura. they could create a kit around it though and I think it would be pretty cool. it would mostly likely be a support or jungler since they are usually helping others and can be front lines
