Title, give me a champ that sits in base, and does work from afar. buffing minions, sending out zergs, buffing champs, shielding the base, setting up defenses, etc. Would be such a cool change of pace.

For those who don't know, Abathur is a Heroes of the Storm hero which sits in base (pretty much, but is able to move around and switch lanes incredibly fast) To help shove those lanes. He can spawn basically mega minions to push and do damage while he's safe in his little cocoon.

I think riot could make an awesome champ off this concept, maybe setting up small barriers/walls in the entrances, sending out Super Super minions, maybe his ult is a global buff, who knows? Theres so much potential.

Thoughts on the idea?

About a month ago me and Voidling actually talked about this idea.

Our conclusion was: it would be trash for soloque and op for proplay.

In all honesty, I would love such a champion, but League is not HoTS. League has a much clearer position system and the requirement for each role. Back in season 2 where everyone was just picking whomever they want, Abathur might have worked, but now the positions themselves are too restricting (well, not restricting restricting).

What I mean is: top needs 1 player jungle needs 1 player mid needs 1 player bot needs 2 players

If any of the positions have too many or too little champions (in a normal, non-iron SR game), you are likely going to lose unless you come up with some "big-brain-things".

All these obstacles aside, if you decide to make a concept like that, I'll support you with all I've got (and by that I mean only some experience lolol).
