Making a moba with my game dev team, we are wanting some ideas for heroes so we thought that this could be a hidden gold mine. Give me your ideas and we might make your hero a reality.

Ive made a few concepts you may use :) I'd really like to stay updated on what you use and what not :D Sham'a, The Candle Maker A spirit of light that functions as both a support and a mage. He's a very positive and warm character that I believe would make any game brighter. Scorn, The Infused An ex prisoner of war that lost his memories because of experiments done on him. He gained abilities that make him immune to magic. He's an assassin/bruiser. Gullveig, The Wailing Witch A powerful Banshee, out for refenge, that would be best as a full blown mage hero. Ethea, The Primordial Spirit A spirit of creation that wields the forces of nature. Has multiple possible build (Mage, Tank and Support). Librea, The Spirits Conduit A child born with powerful connections to the spirits of creation and destruction, versed in the way of balance, but will have to chose a side to reach her full potential... Torvold, The Storm Bellow A god/spirit of thunder with a jolly character and strong will. As a strong bruiser/mage he would walts right through the game...

These are a few of my best works :) I'd like to hear it if you believe you can use any of my ideas :D

Is your MOBA so similar to League that concepts can be ported across? How far along is development? What scaling / status mechanics do you have in place? Do champions purchase items, choose talents, or evolve in some other way? Do you have screenshots or gameplay footage?

If the answer to these questions is that you're a League clone, you don't know the answers, or you don't have any presentable material, I'd recommend working through the idea a bit more before asking for specific champions...let alone champions designed by people with no knowledge of your game.

Just looking for general ideas. The ideas we receive wont be exactly put into the game but more of reborn to fit what we are working with. I wouldn't say a League clone but more of a Heros of the Storm clone on a base level.

Nice work so far! Now I'm intrigued. Sadly I'm not in a position to offer up ideas (aiming for another on-site Riot interview, meaning my game design work is currently focused on projects I can actually take a real design role in), but best of luck!

If you find yourself in need of a larger design team at some point, definitely let me know. Always good to see teams that can actually deliver a project.

A shurumian golem of booby traps maybe.

A rotting, locust, worm, and decay spirit.

A rain/thunder god that strikes lightning with a hammer, focused on rain tho

A mage who' Q marks enemies as demons damaging and slowing over time, W remmoves the mark and collects the demon, he gains resistances for each demon in his demon bag.

A creature like Elder Wood Bard.

PLEASE! Tell me updates on how your moba is going. I wanna try it! Tell me everything: gameplay, champions, etc. that you create.

Could be worth a try. ._. What do you think how long it would need roughly estimated until your game is ready for beta? Could you update the post from time to time? Gl with your project.

The soonest I can see an alpha test would be early next year. But that is depending on various things and how stuff happens.

If the game is in alpha/beta testing, would you mind to update this post (if it didnt get canceled)?

We have a our hero/champion roster completed if you are interested in taking a look.

It's really funny that you messaged on this now, the framework I was going to use didn't work out. So for these past two years I have been learning and practicing UE4. I am now at a level that I can make everything from scratch and have been working on it for the past few days (literately started 3 days ago on it) Already got turrets and minions working, this comment of yours has really hyped me up. I would like to reward you for lurking/keeping up/ interest in the idea by making a ninja champion, I might even name him after you.
