Plz RIOT give us "ALIZA: the eye of the abyss"

So, this is actually a repost on NA forums. This guy in EU forum found this awesome concept and made a post about it. Everything you need to know is in the video. This champ is awesome, both from a gameplay and graphic Pov. I'd love to see this concept used. It's a great one, and the idea of changing your weapon after an ability (as Bellona does in SMITE) is, I assure you, fun to play with. EDIT: you can find the lore here, scrolling down. It's not really well written to say the least, but using it as a core idea a riot writer would do wonders with it. https://www.google.it/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjuzc72t_LWAhUExxQKHZTpAesQFggwMAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.artstation.com%2Fartwork%2F3VP0g&usg=AOvVaw3uJkM_ofxpiyxrQpXiuGUK

Such clickbait...

While the art is super quality the kit is not so much.

Well, the title is from the guy who made the post in Eu, an entusiast of the champ. I don't fawn over her kit either, but since the title doesn't say the gameplay is amazing pls refrain from using such an overused word. It's a jerky way of expressing your opinion (that I'm happy you decided to voice).

Okay but the video in every way tries to make you think this is a whole new champion Riot made.

"of the Abyss" is a Void title KogMaw though and she seems to have no connection to the void.

Dunno why W interacts with towers, considering it's the only ability in her kit to do so.

E and W combo feels a bit weird. W and Q would make more sense IMHO.

I kinda feel like R has some wasted potential in controlling a seperate unit: Tying the health to the chain or to the Watcher makes no difference and could be done without problems with interactivity (how do skillshots affect the chain?). Having Aliza transfer to it's location upon "death" and limiting the range seems really weird considering the best use for such a pet is to explore without endangering your champion. Gameplaywise it behaves like a "normal" transformation with a seperate health bar and limited range and her true body and the chain just cause visual clutter.

RQ is Ornns Q - RW feels disconnected from normal W instead of being a powered up version

It definetly has good artwork and interesting story, but kitwise it's not my cup of tea

The title is related to the Hollowing Abyss ( aram map), which has lore connections to the frozen watchers. I agree though, the title is probably explained better in the lore (I'll search for it). Kitwise I admit it's not my favorite, but that's why I would have voted for the 2nd poll option (if there wasn't the teemo one).

I get where the title is coming from, but nonetheless it is a mix between Velkoz and KogMaw .

Voted for the 2nd option, since the design is nice and Teemo already has Omega ^w^

This would be an interesting way to introduce the Watchers back into the lore, without having Lissandra free them on a whole, but the lore written for her could use a lot of changes. The W dealing true dmg to towers would never make it into the, however if Janna can shield towers, and bard can zhonyas towers, a champ that can 'freeze' (stun) towers and the requirements to do so, would be interesting.

Well, Azir W could do that. Ziggs can execute towers and omwreker... Lul.

Now with Kayn and her concept being relatively similar: person with alien arm that transforms at some point, I donno if they would consider it

furetto2000Oct 18, 20171 votes

Sorry, but I can't see the similarity. One transforms based on his passive, permanently. The other transforms at every use of a basic ability. Also kayn's transforming part is the schyte, not the arm.

GripaAviaraOct 18, 20171 votes

No, he has a "corrupted" akka transformed arm. Sure, here is a temporary transform, but the concept overall looks too similar. Even the hair. Her arm looks like a schyte

Also half her kit is similar in concept to Ornn

I'm not saying the champion doesn't look cool, but I don't think riot will take such a concept atm due to newly released champs
