The Twins (a two character champ)

Darklightning·Sep 10, 2016·1 votes·552 views

Mechanic ideas? I would like to see a champion that is actually two creatures/humanoids... one would behave like the Yorik Maiden... while the other is controlled by you. The abilities and catch for this champion would be that you can swap between the two creatures taking control. Abilities would let you move the creature around (a blink ability or something like that). If an enemy kills the creature you are not in, you gain some sort of advantage... so the challenge for you would be to jump out of the one about to die... and the challenge for the enemy is to catch you off guard and kill you or whittle both creatures down until he wouldn't have to worry about your advantage.... not sure what the advantage would be... to me the cool part is jumping between two characters (pretty quickly).

Lore ideas? Maybe two little goblin like creatures possessed by a spirit creature... and the spirit creature wants to have one die as a blood sacrifice and if that happens his damage output is doubled... perhaps not a spirit... perhaps the two are drones for a queen and if you kill the one she is controlling she cannot respond because you have incapacitated her... but if you kill the other she descends onto the map to attack the champion... and you get to control her... if you use an ability on an enemy champ before it dies... you can spawn another creature for you to jump to... you can only ever have two... so the lowest health drone dies.

Hmm... no one finds this idea interesting huh?

I actually made a champion like this already, stats and abilities complete. Problem with the swapping mechanic as you mentioned it is that they could just have one side on base, one elsewhere, and swap pre-death. My version swapped in their current location until you ulted. The ult brought out both for 15 seconds, and one would act like a beginner bot, and the other would be controlled by you. Pressing your Q (Normally summoning a wall that walking through swaps champs) changes perspectives, and the one you aren't vanishes at the end of 15 seconds. I made it their ult simply because any long distance effective teleport can and will be abused.

An important idea being missed here... the two are in the general area... (No further than exactly one vision width apart.) So if you kill one, you still have a chance to kill the other... They still get some gold

Like Abathur from Heroes of the Storm?

For a second I thought you meant a dual-kit champ that was two characters switching out- I had a bit of an idea like that but I'm having trouble figuring out a kit.

The idea of having a champion consisting of two is a very interesting one, but I really dislike the aspect of giving you an advantage if your duo dies and being able to swap at will (stealing the enemy a kill) as you should be at an disadvantage for getting your partner killed.
