New Champion Concept

Sion WiIIiamson ·Jul 1, 2017·2 votes·287 views

I had a new idea for an ability for a champion that i think could be really cool and is unique. So basically once activating it for a short time you can access the shop from anywhere on the map. It would probably have to be an ultimate with a short cooldown or an e/w with an extended cooldown i'm too sure but i think it could be used in some really cool ways. It can have a big impact in lane and can be used in context to an upcoming teamfight, there are heaps of possibilities. Haven't considered any other abilities for the champion, i just think the idea is cool.

What do you guys reckon?

Hm. Ability-wise this is rather boring, but it COULD make for an interesting passive bonus -- sort of like Azir's tower-raising feature, for example.

The problem I see is that you'd have to make it a channel so you're not suddenly gaining items mid-combat, and that it's not actually that INTERESTING, since items can't be switched around quickly enough to make this actually impactful. It's basically just a free Teleport that can only be used to purchase items -- and that's not something that makes me go "Ooh. THIS is cool."

I think I'd want to see more creative shop interactions than just free purchases, but the idea of hooking into the shop interface in some manner IS pretty intriguing...

Just someone sharing my thoughts, as was requested by the "what do you reckon" in the OP. I think it's a cool direction to explore, but not a super compelling one as presented. You (and the OP) are more than free to disagree. :)
