New Champion Idea: Counter Mage
Hi guys,
There seems to be a gap in the game for a champion who has a kit entirely to the prevention of using abilities and turning those abilities back upon the enemy team. I'm not going to get too bogged down into the details and stick to a high level design, but here are a few ideas for champion abilities.
Reflect: Cast a Yasou wall like mirror that reflects all missile abilities back. This could be refracted or fire directly back in the casters direction. Nullify: For a period of time the champion or targeted champion is immune to all abilities cast or hitting the champion (positive or negative). Karma Field: For a period of time all abilities hitting champions within an area are cast back at the caster. i.e. Malphite ult would instead do damage to Malphite, all ally team mates and knock them up. Again this could be both positive and negative. As well as affect your own team mates. Mana leach: The ability to steal mana from the target champion and give it back to yourself. Silence: Enough said.
The idea for this champion is that on their own this champion can't really initiate with their abilities, and has to rely on the enemy team's abilities to actually do damage with them. So with that it mind they could instead rely on auto attacks to damage, perhaps an ADC or if that was seen as too strong a mage that could go mid or support.
Anyway, just some ideas.
Cheers, Mat
