Champions

DoYouHearTheEkko··1 votes·1,336 views

So lately, I have noticed that a lot of champions seem to have some what similar abilities to other champions which lead me to think that riot has run out of ideas for new champions but however, I do have some ideas on what riot could do next time they create a new champion. The champion's look doesn't really matter but the basic attack and abilities do, so what if we had a champion that had an ability to "freeze" the game and probably even slow things down while to other players, they are going extremely fast but not too fast (idea from the flash xD) I'm up for any ideas on this

Riot has been taking traditional mechanics like heals, snares, taunts, etc. and having them interact differently than the traditional ways these effects are implemented. Think of Rakan. He has a heal, but it is an intimate AOE heal IF he lands an ability on an enemy. That way his heal is strong in the sense it's AOE, but there is the stipulation of landing the ability first, opposed to Soraka who just points and clicks an ally. Also, I think that cloning an ally (Neeko) is pretty new and cool. Where do you find these snags in creativity being lost?

Take aforementioned Neeko.

Her W looks like a better Wukong W.

Her E looks like a better Lux Q.

And her Ultimate looks like a better Nunu Ultimate.

A lot of her abilities are pretty similar to other abilities that've come before.

I can see where you are coming from, but using that mindset makes every single ability just another copy with a slight iteration. Camille's ult is just like Jarvan, but one is better for picks and one is better for groups. Sticking with Neeko, her W is a better Wukong W for short term deception, but long term Wukongs is better. He can trick you into thinking he is the clone and then clone the other direction just before you catch on. It also does damage. That makes it a longer duration of confusion.

Her Q is a better Luck Q for her kit, but Lux's Q is better in the sense that it applies a damage proc and can quickly set up her her entire long range combo, as well as apply an even snare duration to both targets. Neeko's only really heavily snares the furthest away AFTER passing through multiple targets. Her abilities also (seemingly, not sure yet) are shorter ranged and less forgiving. So it's better for sniping backline whereas Lux's is more of a disruption to the two people it hits.

It's all optimized around the entire kit and intended gamplay design, not just single abilities.

I feel as though riot can think of better ways to give a champion abilities, instead of snare, riot could affect the way a champion moves such as inverting there controls for a short duration or making an ability which would allow you to take 1 ability from other champions on both teams (not their ult) which would atleast make the game a bit more exciting
