New warlock champion

Now, i know this has been discussed before, and a lot of people compare the idea to swain, fiddle, malz, ect. However i am on a 4 day no sleep thought and a new puppy eating my shirt. So what i am thinking, is that this champion could have a lot of diversity. For example, as soon as you start a game, he would have 4 demons he could summon and, depending on what one you choose is how you have to play for that game. (basically allowing you to have to build 1 of 4 ways.) My thoughts on the ways he could be built are sustain damage (low CDs and moderate Damage, more or less over time), burst damage (high CDs, with AoE/single target burst damage. This could be 1 or 2 different ways to build him.), on top of that, he could be a tank/bruiser. If anything he could focus on melee DPS with one of the pets allowing positioning and such.

Now i see the hate and the ton of flaws with this (bassically have 5 champs in one being one flaw, but you can only have on of those 4 choices.) BUT i also see a lot of fun in the champion too. This could just be me being tired but eh, there is my idea and if anyone acctually likes it i will go into greater detail later on, but if not than so be it. Thank you for reading.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 -Cheaps

The problem with something like this is that it really won't have the option of showing off his kit Basically by the base concept of it one form will be stronger than the rest the meta wise so after like 2 weeks he will be a one trick pony. ESensually the same thing ka'zix's Evolution . As far as summoning demons goes Yoirck basically summons the four Horsemen of the apocalypse so the kit concep is essentially already used within league and that right has stated with the release of echo that they don't like dipping too much into one specific concept

The problem is that it would be like Viktor's old Hex Core. Sure, you get 4 demons to choose from for the game, however the pros would figure out the best one and that's the only one that would be used, like Viktor's Old Augment: Death. Meta would ruin the point of this champion.

Let me narrow it down to what i am thinking on the demons and i do see the downfall of the demons. (this is just the 4 first time abilities he can choose, so Q W E R) Q- a short range caster that amplifies his dot damage on a minor scale, thus making all of his other moves (qwer) small times Dots, maybe a CC, or positioning.

W- Melee based demon that could help him with curses as they both attack. (Could however be the warlock's melee choice, or even short casting.) Making the demon more of a tank (but a passive that the demon takes 100% of your damage that you do, but only directs 40 % of it back to the warlock, AoEs doing maybe half of that depending on scaling. including taunts and a small health pact.

E- Maybe just a CC pet that could allow a little damage (but very squishy.) while the warlock would focus on single target burst. On the other hand thisi could also fall under with a demon like his W (being a Bruiser/Tank) while he has to focus on AoE damage or the simple fact of CC.

R- This one is an iffy to alot of people, but when i played wow i also loved the thoughts of rouges. So this is just me running out of ideas at this point. The warlock could be a long range caster with roots/snares (his q and w being the snares) that does moderate mixed damage (single/aoe target) while his demons passive is something that it stays invisible until it does damage to an enemy target, but on this point of firstly choosing "R" as your demon, it is the one who does damage.

To me it would be a really fun champ that could be a jack of all trades, making each demon a different role. However i don't see it happening because the amount of diversity that could literally just be a "one trick pony" but there are tons of stuff riot could do to dim him down. Some abilities that could be offered as a passive could be a Soul Swap, Demonic Bond, Health Swap, or Shadow Treason.

Soul Swap- allowing the warlock to trade places on the map (withing a short distance) with the demon.

Demonic Bond- Allowing the demon to sacrifice some of it's armor, MR, and health and giving it to the Warlock.

Health swap- Giving the Demon and the Warlock the ability to trade health (or something that they share split damage and they heal a small amount of it back over time that could stack with AP.)

Shadow treason- allowing a 3-5 second invisibility, after sacrificing your demon. (this could be an escape or an initiation if one of his other abilities was an AoE fear to scatter a team.)

Anyway, this is just another input after waking up. I brought it to the LoL boards because i am bored on my break from college and just brain storming. Hoping for more input or help.
