We lack an Inspire Champion

You know a supportive character who inspires those around them to perform better like Ajani from MTG or Gandalf from LOTR. Heck this would probably work really well as the Noxian support everyone has been asking for but focusing less on CC and Heals but rather on buffs and leading the charge be it to run down the last of the enemy or rallying everyone to make a stand. Like make the passive something along the lines of every time an Enemy Champion,Turret,Epic monster,or enough minions are killed they plant a flag sort of like J4 that buffs allies offensive stats near them and maybe their ultimate is centered on rallying your team by charging forward like Kled or Rakan ults and buffing their defensive stats while also giving them shields based off missing HP and advanced regen. This way it could be your team is getting sieged or pushed back but you rush forward and all those who fight alongside you gain a second wind to fight for glory and victory. Maybe the balance being they have to be in combat to get your buffs and rapidly lose them if they remain out of combat. Probably being an officer of Noxus who leads their troops from the front and is famous for rallying victories. I don't know I'm just trying to spit ball here because yeah we don't really have an inspiration focused support. Maybe to the team mates who are running from battle they shout obscenities at them and calling them cowards while everyone who does fight with them they shout about showing the world what they see in them and giving it their all. Could even make them another minotaur or vastaya with a massive battle axe,halberd,or spear acting as a banner.

Just a general good person and it would be funny to just picture a soldier lying in the mud half burnt,covered in blood,3 arrows in their chest, and innards starting to hang out of them when suddenly the Inspire Champion comes by and is like "Get up you can still fight and be victorious." meanwhile your sorry ass is dying on the ground hearing this like "Okay." suddenly shows you help leading the charge to take a raider outpost while still f#@ked up.

I suppose what got me thinking like this was partly because Gangplank's old E was he would give an AD buff to all his allies around him and a compilation of various things I've seen on the boards over the years. Along with lacking any champions that do this sort of thing with the closest being moves like Ornn's passive,J4 E,and Kled ult let alone a whole kit dedicated to this sort of leader/mentor style which is different to your typical Heal/Shield Support or CC chain Support.

every utilty sup gets nerfed down to the ground and an inspiring champ sounds like a support
