Is there any chance that RIOT would ever make a Champion like Abathur from Heroes of the Storm?

For those who dont know: Abathur is a Hero who is very weak by himself, low life, low attack damage, low attack speed, low movemet speed... you get the picture.

His power is that he has a global range spell that is casted on allied heroes, giving them a parasite which can cast spells on its own. A straight line skillshot that does decent damage on long range and low Cooldown, an AoE circle dmg spell that has additional effects based on how you skill him (it can slow enemys or heal the allied hero), and a shield for the hero that carries your parasite.

I freaking LOVE this hero, because its a very unique playstyle, and I really wonder if a champion like that would be possible in League.

Considering Hots has completly different map objectives, XP system and no gold system a champion like Abbathur wouldn't really work in Lol, as you described. With needing access to Gold and XP not being teamwide he would need to be in lane or have a bardlike ability that gives him XP and Gold. The biggest problem is that unlike Hots the map objectives favor teamfights instead of splitting up the team where lacking a fifth player becomes much more problematic.
