Will We Ever have a Champion like Janemba from Dragon Ball Z?
At least, his first form? I like the idea of a Tahm Kench/Gragas-like bruiser that can warp reality and create his own minion wave.

Well, I mean we have Malzahar with those annoying crabs that he seems to spawn like 5+ almost instantly and constantly. And those are already annoying as hell to deal with what with their speed and shit hit boxes unless you're using the auto move attack. Their hitboxes are so small that I end up clicking the ground under them and move instead of attack, leading me to getting bombarded by all of them PLUS the normal minions. Add that in with Malzahar's silence and AoE attacks plus DPS it gets bothersome to try and trade when you have his army plus him attacking and can't hit anyone because you can't get close enough. :| Not to mention his shield...which is like bending reality so he's not in this reality (kinda).
Anyways, didn't mean to turn this into a rant about Malzahar and how I think his minions need a better hitboxes and less minions summonable early on....
Now, this is just me saying that while the idea is cool it can lead to problems much like what I just described. At least problems I personally have. Those who are good at countering Malz probably don't have this issue.
If someone were to create something like this I would suggest something like sources across the map (much like crystals for Skarner and Chimes for Bard) where he can click them or use an ability on them (like Zyra) to summon his minions. If it's a clickable I'd do something like Skarner personally where they are around the map, and it's his passive. So he can click on it and every couple seconds a minion will come out and follow the minion path. This effect will last as long as he stays within a certain area. Leaving the area will turn off that resource and put his passive on cooldown.
That's what I'd personally do for the whole minion wave. So as to give it some balance and stipulation to working. These minions he summons would of course be stronger than average minions, look like mini hims (or something similar).
As for reality warping I would probably do something where his abilities set up "Zones" which do certain things for a set period of time, and his ultimate would create a larger area of effect for these abilities (much like how Heim uses his ult to boost his abilities).
For example. One Zone, let's say his Q, goes something like this: Creates a 600 unit area within a 800 unit cast range for 6s. While inside this area insert the name of the champion here gains bonus damage against enemies while he remains inside this Zone.
Or something like that. So, his ultimate would be something like this: Increases power of the next Zone ability cast.
So if he casts his Q after his ult the Q would be enhanced to something like this: Radius increases to 1000 and lasts for 10s. Increased bonus damage within this area for the duration against all enemies.
Or something similar.
That's how I personally would do it.
So i'm not against the idea or anything, but it would take a bit of fine tuning to do properly without being too strong.
