????, The Shapeshifter

For starters I'm not sure if someone has already posted this idea, I don't visit the Board Discussion pages. Now here's the main idea, imagine a champion who is pitch black but kind of like a static pitch black that makes him look like a glitch. He doesn't have any features besides I giant creepy smile.

His skills is where it gets interesting, he doesn't have any. The way he gets his skills is that he steals them from other champions. If Teemo hits him with his blind dart and he presses Q within 1 or 2 seconds he can steal the skill and he is stuck with it for the rest of the game. This makes his skill set based entirely on the enemy team, but to prevent someone from having 4 ultimates you can only copy one Q, one W, one E, and one R.

His base stats are slightly above average with decent well rounded health, mana, Attack, and so on. This is to prevent people from getting destroyed in the beginning because of the lack of having their own skills but the growth rates should be slow to prevent the stats from becoming op.

This idea is kind of rough and crude, I don't have any lore or a good name yet and I can't express everything I'm thinking correctly, so I left some information out, but let me know what you guys think!

Viz'Tur: The Changing Void

Passive: After dying Viz'Tur becomes immune to damage for 3 seconds. In this time, if he uses one of his abilities it is reset to it's default empty skill slot allowing him to fill the slot again.

Q: Fill the Void

Passive: While Viz'Tur has no abilities assigned to this slot, he gains a shield that absorbs the first projectile ability used by an enemy champion. This shield refreshes after 15 seconds.

Active: While Fill the Void's passive is on cooldown, activating this ability gives Viz'Tur the ability that broke the shield.

W: Strengthen the Void

Passive: While Viz'Tur has no abilities assigned to this slot, he uses ranged attacks instead of basic attacks.

Active: If an enemy champion has a positive effect active from a spell or ability, Viz'tur can use this ability and choose the targeted champion to remove the effect. Viz'Tur gains the effect for 5/6/7/8 seconds or however long the effect had left, whichever is greater. In addition, Viz'Tur gains the ability that caused the effect.

E: Void Oppression

Passive: While Viz'Tur has no abilities assigned to this slot, he gains 10/11/12/13/15% Spell Vamp and Lifesteal.

Active: Viz'Tur fires a void bolt that passes through minions, structures, and walls. The first champion hit is silenced for .5/1/1.5/2.5/3 seconds. The next ability used within 15 seconds by that champion is interrupted and Viz'Tur gains the used ability.

R: The Void Beckons

Passive: While Viz'Tur has no abilties assigned to this slot, he gains 30/40/50% bonus scaling Attack Damage and Ability Power from items.

Active: Viz'Tur suppresses a targeted champion for 1/2/3 seconds and marks the champion for 1 minute. While marked, Viz'Tur will reverse and steal the next ability used by the marked champion.

That would probably be a huge pubstomper in bronze and silver, and see no play in competitive. It's super easy to counterpick that, because of how scalings work. You'd either get an exact copy of the enemy laner, if in a solo lane, but probably weaker, because of the versatility, or a weird combination of utility and damage in the bot lane.

I think something like that would be extremely hard to balance.

He could quickly turn into a stronger/weaker version of a different champ if he is able to copy all 4 skills of said champ. Then there is the fact that depending on the enemy team he could turn extremely op,I mean there are going to be some pretty sick combos if you can have every move from a different champ.

But depending on the enemy he might be totally screwed too. I mean he can't copy abilities that only affect the enemy allies and never himself,there are most likely some team combinations were none of the 5 has a W that affects an enemy in which case he'd be stuck without a W. Then there are abilities that depend on the passive(or even the ultimate) to work properly,not to mention some abilities that flat out wouldn't make sense without other abilities first(good luck trying to mimic azirs Q if you can't summon any soldiers,or trying to unburrow with Rek'sais W if you can't burrow)
