Unique ability idea: Global champion ultimate that swaps places with an ally of your choosing, with like a 2 second channel time or something. Thoughts?

This has too many trolling applications and too few legitimate gameplay applications.

If you prevent switching if the caster takes any damage, it's not really that bad an idea. Though instead of switching places with the champion immediately, it could place a portal close to the target champion (would touch a wall) that they could walk through -- once the target Champ walks through the mirror, the two are switched. It'd be a really awesome concept for a Mirror-using Champ. Pretty much: the activation acts like Karthus' Ult but with a semi-global targeting system instead of immediate activation; the mirror placement acts like Illaoi's tentacles, and the switching acts like Urgot's Ult but on a wider scale. I think the scale should be twice the size of Shen's Ult, but can only do 1 Champ and has the same Cooldown timers as Twisted Fate's Ult for each its ranks. EDIT: the placement of the mirrors would automatically be coded so champs in Brush would have the portal in Brush, being located by an enemy turret places the portal a safe distance away from the turret, and if a skillshot hits the mirror the ability resets at a reduced Cooldown.

I agree, it seems the only real use might be to replace the support who got caught warding and 1v1 the mofo or to just run into the enemy base, ult, and be like "here's my adc, end plz!"

This could also be good for the opposite situation though. Say the champion with this skill is the tank, the enemy nexus is open and your Twitch just re spawned. Twitch could q while you ult running from the enemy team and while they're looking for you twitch could easily backdoor.

But overall this would be super situational and being able to use strategically would be rare, unless you're fed. If anything I'd say give it a 20-30 second cooldown, much lower range and make it a basic ability, or an item.
