If they want to release champions with cool gamebreaking mechanics why don't they just create a champion without autoattacks? He would only farm with abilities, would have to rush mana but would be godlike lategame. I would play that.
thats pretty much karthus to a tee tbh
Sounds like a balance nightmare so give it 2/3 years and it will happen.
Or give it to a purely no damage support. A character who has no damage whatsoever in their kit would also be very interesting to implement in the game.
Yeeaahh there's already effectively 2 or more champions like this. Listed by other people down below. If you give them a low costing damaging ability with quick cast time then it doesn't matter if they can attack. Karthus uses Q unless he runs out of mana, which is essentially this concept just without an option after you run out of mana.
And they don't really want game-breaking mechanics. Game-changing is the goal. Which honestly there are a ton of potential awesome champion concepts in the boards... Ones I'd enjoy far more than recent champs.
Im really meaning that they don't have an autoattack Or just 0 ad
?
I remember Riot saying somewhere that when he was first in development Ivern not only had no auto attack, but no damage at all. Apparently it felt horrible to chase someone with no way to kill them whatsoever however, so Riot dialled back on this a bit to leave Ivern with a low but still existent amount of damage.
