@Riot; New Role Suggestion: General

Illâoi Evê Siôn··2 votes·296 views

Generals would be champions from all other Roles that sacrifice a bit of their power budget for a unique type of utility: They can interact with minions and structures, and have auras that buff their allies or debuff their enemies. Their playstyle would be fighter-esque. They either initiate fights, or are right in the fray when they happen. Their utility is ranged, but once they start fighting in earnest they have to switch to a close-combat fighting style.

I would suggest these three champions to be Generals: JarvanIV Swain Aatrox Other options would be: Leona Hecarim Galio

Examples for unique utility would be:

  • Leona can mass-blind minions
  • Aatrox can summon Banners of War (think Azir) above fallen towers
  • Swain can transform allied minions into powerful Nevermores
  • Jarvan's W spawns a second pulse around his standard that gives allied champions buffs (think Sona)
  • Jarvan's standard briefly taunts allied minions to attack damaged enemy champions
  • Hecarim leaves behind a trail that makes allies quicker (think Trail of Iron)

I'm going to make thread with actual rework suggestions, but I thought I'd make this separate first.

i like the aatrox one if i can be honest, mostly because he seems too weak to be a laner and if you combined that with an azir turret that'd make up for some awesome defending

I didn't imagine it as Turret. I thought it could give allies Bloodlust, which would increase their Attack and Movement Speed (doubled for minions). It would also supply vision and have Health, like a turret. Maybe he could upgrade the Banner similar to how Gangplank can upgrade his Cannon Barrage.
