crazy ideas
Hello guys, First I've gotta say that this threat is more about gameplay than about balance. Pls don't comment about the state of champions mentioned and try to not get into arguments about numbers. Did you guys ever think of a mechanic that you would like to see in the game? Something that thematically fits a champ but is totally different from anything we have till now? Maybe something as simple as movement speed scaling on Janna, or maybe a completely new ability that would have the potential to change the game? I know that I have, and I would really like to collect the likes of this. A lot of champion concepts are based on ideas like these, but some would just fit already existing champs who seem to not really live up to their concepts.
To start this off I would like to give a first example, something I that would be pretty cool on my favourite champion,
. Her current kit already succeeds in feeling cunning when you're playing her right, however she mostly ends up just aoe bursting her enemies. You've gotta admit plants have more thematic potential than just appearing, attacking for a short time and disappearing again. Especially her ult feels unsatisfying. To emphasize zone control as her forte, I had the (crazy) idea to give her the ability to interact with other plants, means brushes. Basically, a seed lying in a brush for a certain time would perfoliate that brush, granting more vision, lasting longer and giving a bonus effect to the plant created from the seed (not sure which kind of bonus, something like an e plant making the brush grow thorns, slowing and damaging enemies moving through it).
What are your crazy ideas? I would really like to read the, and if this thread became big enough, maybe something written in here could inspire someone at riot.
