Just an Idea

I was wondering, Has anyone in riot considered creating a character similar to the concept of Mina from Dawngate, or someone akin to Abathur from heroes of the storm? The character would have some kind of what i call parasite ability where they attach themselves to another champion and cast their abilities as an extension of that champion rather then function individually in the way a regular champion would. Mina from Dawngate was probably the most fun champion i ever had the pleasure of playing, There was something unusually satisfying about leeching onto an ally, then throwing myself from them and landing onto an enemy to fear them then burst them outright, and even though it seems like it was rather op, the character actually felt unusually balanced. Just as well, it has been 2 years since Dawngate closed its' doors so if a character were to come along with a similar theme there wouldn't be much if any issues with copyright. The guys at riot sort of touched on the issue with the release of the kalista ultimate so making a similar character wouldn't be too difficult since it's already in the game.

Approaching it from the standpoint that blizzard did with Abathur seems a bit less creative to me though, and I am not quite a fan of attempting to turn a moba into a top down rts from the perspective of a slug that just sits in his base and spams his own minions to split push and create higher lane pressure, in terms of league it'd be like an immobile malzahar with void minions that last 10 times longer while spamming kalista spears from an ally.

In either case, if you didn't play dawngate or have no idea who or what Mina is, I loaded a video to watch, i don't support any individual streamer or youtuber, just pulled a video that i think showed off the kit of the character overly well.

cheers
