Champion Concept Question: Two champions who work off one another better than any other champion?

Hey there, I am writing this in the Skins and Champion Concepts because it is about two champion concepts I have that I wish to publish, but before I do I wanted to get a feel for what people thought on the subject.

The two champions in question are lovers who benefit from being in each others presence. The womans abilities are enhanced upon him, and they each add an effect to the enemy which enhance each others abilities.

My question is what do people think of this kind of champion concept? Is it able to be done in the league and would people want to see it? I ask because this means that if these two are on a team together then they become a force to be reckoned with. Albeit still manageable, but clearly they gain benefits.

So, what are your thoughts on the matter? If this is in the wrong place can this be moved somewhere else that is appropriate instead of being completely erased?

I only ask in the concepts page because this is about my concepts. Thanks!

If you mean that there'd be two champion that are separate in the shop who have bonuses just for being together, then that wouldn't make much sense. If you were the only person one your team with one of them, you don't receive the bonus, and if your enemy has both, you're at an immediate disadvantage.

However, if you were saying as if there was a champion who was two or more champions under one name, then I'd be all for that. Nunu and Quinn/Valor are perfect examples of this.

P.s. I'm still working on the lady. I haven't finished everything for her. Working on some of her skills, but before I went further on to her E and Ultimate I wanted to see if people think this would work or might be too OP.

They definitely work as separate entities, but just gain bonuses off of each other should they be within 1000 yards and attack opponents infected with a passive that does nothing without the other person, but each have passives that help without the use of them being near them or in the game with them.

So, yeah. Give me your thoughts!

The idea is very nice, but there are a few problems with it. See the thing is, passive bonus auras(which are just stat increases) are generally considered to be bad design and rightfully so. If the passives required a certain change in gameplay or a new pattern of play for the champions, then that would be a completely different situation. Ideally though, if you wanted to make two champions who are meant ot be together, just make their kit work very well together. Alternatively consider giving them both some sort of Kalista-esque passive that interacts very well when they both set it on each other. Maybe the guy has a passive called "Guardian" or something that allows his kit to basically have special interactions with the person he decides to cast his passive on, like Kalista, and make the girl have a similar passive and then make both of their kit's special passive interactions just fit very well together. A simple "You both picked the right champs in champ select so here, have some free stats" is kinda... bad. It is one of the things that Riot specifically tries to push LOL away from - that a game can be decided in champ select.
