Mind Control/Possesion(possible mechanic for Yorick rework?)

Basically would turn target enemy champion or minion into a controllable pet for 3 seconds(6 on minions) that can only auto attack.

Differences from morde/yorick current ghost:

-is a hard displacement cc -short duration -usable on minions as well as champions -no additional ap or ad ratios -no death or takedown required

I really think this mechanic would produce rich gameplay, like timing it on a target who is buffed/healing or about to escape, and an enemy Baroned+Bannered siege minion, or tibbers, or enemy dragon ghost!

Or just to troll like

No. Would literally just be used to make enemy champion walk unhindered into your team to die. Horrible gameplay experience.

There are quite a lot of gameplay health issues with such an idea sadly. First, it's extreme hard CC for 3 seconds, that cannot be dodged, that also guarantees death. Such a spell effectively reads "kill targeted enemy after causing them to deal some damage to their allies", which is unfun (the enemy just loses control and dies without being able to do anything) with very little gain for the unfun properties. Second, it has problems with use cases: it is ALWAYS the wrong choice to target a minion, as no minion is worth targeting over a free enemy champion kill. No summoned monster is worth it either: after all, why take Tibbers when you can take Annie, or Dragon Ghost when you can take Mordekaiser?

Overall, such a effect has no reason to exist in League due to running completely counter to the games design goals.
