New Champion Concept: the Smuggler (and a new game idea that could be very interesting)

No pictures here, sorry.

Just had an idea for a new champion, based on the concept of a smuggler.

This champion would offer support utility to the team in the form of terrain drops like bard, as well as terrain obstacles like teemo and caitlyn offer.

But the biggest thing this new champ would offer is this:

By simply existing in the game, new items are offered in the shop; Black Market Brawlers style.

This would offer a whole new level of strategic depth in champion select, because a late pick smuggler champ would offer powerful item options to the game that greatly magnify the advantages some lanes would get over their opponents. Picking Dr. Mundo as a counter to someone's toplane would be nice, but doing so and snagging the black market brawler items to push him into ridiculous mode would make it even more spectacular.

This could be offered in smaller doses for other champions too. Imagine if there was some sort of "glorious evolution" trinket that you could purchase if Victor was in the game (on your team or on the enemy team). Amumu might offer his team an item called moldy candy that offers some early game tankiness but gets replaced like a doran's item. (and when you sell it you hear him crying)

So obviously adding like 126 items is a little ambitious of an undertaking (unless it's something like a new game mode!), but doing it on a smaller scale, for a single champion, would be a pretty awesome thing.
