Why do all champions have same vision range? Potentional trait for a new champion. (Candy for devs)

TL;DR: Implementing increased vision range or maximum zoom out range on a new (potentionally passive support, i.e. "An Enchanter") champion!


Soo, I was thinking the other day, and an idea struck my mind. All the champions in game have the same vision range, albeit some having arguably worse vision (Lee, some yordles, etc..) while others should see further (due to their height or the fact that they fly... looking at you Corki ). While re-doing the vision range for all the champions would had a huge impact on balancing the game.

But you know what wouldn't? A new champion! This could work in a way of a passive... sounding like this: "When (insert champion name) is out of combat for # seconds, its vision range increases by #%." or it could be more could be more and more depending on level, or not depending on level. You can start with smaller vision than usual or make an ultimate from this, where the champion has increased vision for # seconds.

You can also toy with the maximum range we can zoom out to. You can already zoom out more while casting Jhin and Xerath ultimates, so why not have it permanently on a champion? Either a 4th wall breaking, or a bird that can fly, e.g. an owl.

Plus, there wasn't a passive support here for a while (6 years to be more specific) we only had catchers Bard , tanks TahmKench , divers Rakan and assasins Pyke for some crazy reason (nobody wanted that!) but nothing with a kit made directly to protect your ADC in the backline in and out of fights (you don't count Bard Rakan !) so a new one after 6 years would be a pleasant surprise.

Sincerely, your woobly

because the vision you see isn't supposed to be the champions vision, it's YOUR vision. before they changed the lore, we, the summoners, were part of the lore, summoning champions to fight for us on the fields of justice. even tho summoners aren't part of runeterra lore anymore, we still exist in the actual game.. you could say the game itself is an alternate universe where summoners still exist.. anyway, the vision we see is our own vision, so even if Lee sin is blind, we still see the area around him.

Like a lookout support, I can dig it, passive is telescope or something, stealth champs tho can still sneak up.
