I think it would be a cool idea to make a champion that uses two resources each one granting different powers when used and maybe granting access to an ultimate ability when used together or in balance. I am just throwing this idea out there. I have thought about the dual resource concept but I haven't come up with a character that could utilize such a mechanic. Anyways, let me know what you all think!
I don't think it would work that well. Having a champion that switches resources might be a better alternative.
How would you make the champion choose which resource he uses? Ultimate form switching a la Elise, Jayce and Nyancat?
Currently some champions use stacks as resources (Akali uses stacks on ult and energy). In a certain sense, that requires resource management.
I am kinda picturing a champion with a kind of ying yang theme to him/her. The champ would probably have abilities that have different effects based on whether you use them on allies or enemies, and that would also decide the resource used. For example you cast your Q on an ally and it heals them and gives uses some of your light resource, while if you use it on an enemy it does damage and uses your darkness resource. The only issue with this specific idea is you run into some of the issues that happened when you create a champ with great damage and utility. So there would have to be some way to balance this.
I've thought of making a champion concept like that, however the coding might be weird.

Insanely hard to learn.
But the idea behind him might be modified for LoL needs.
