is it possible to make a support that has the same mechanic that auriel(I believe that's how you spell it) form heroes of the storm has? for those that don't know auriel doesn't have mana.instead he gets energy by attacking champions with autos or abilities. one of his spells is an aoe heal that heals more based on how much energy he has(something to that effect, tbh I haven't played him at all yet and am still kinda new to hots). just thought if it could happen or not
Could happen. Riot's not likely to implement it remotely near the degree Auriel has it (I play HotS).
Auriel's heal gets stronger based on the damage dealt to enemies by her and target ally. It's basically a support version of Life Steal. The problem is, this forces her to bond with the team's highest DPS character. Burst assassins will let her get off only 1 or two good heals in a fight, Bruisers will net her a few weak heals, and tanks are near useless. So the moment the ADC drops, you lose the support also.
HotS also defines support champions as someone who can heal. Teams regain a lot of health in HotS Fights. This is why Aruiel gets away with such a massive heal. She has potentially (full energy) the second largest per-target per-cast heal in the game (Rehgar's 1st ult/heroic does more for a single target, Lucio's Aura has the potentially Highest HPS in the game), and it applies in a large AoE. Meanwhile, LoL's modern design philosophy is opposed to primary healers. Soraka gets a grandfathered because it's her only identity since (LoL's) release.
