Soul Link - Item Bonding Gamemode

A great day on Summoner's Rift. You load in as Lux, your most played loveable champion who you metaslave and hold dearly to your heart.

And you end up having +8 Attack Damage and some lifesteal before you even bought any items.

This is Soul Link.

Soul Link is a RGM which focuses on one thing, the items. You will randomly be given the same passives and stats from items a certain enemy has.

So if Enemy Jinx builds item 3085, and Ally Lux builds item 3285; both have item 3085 item 3285.

Again, you will not be told who you're bonded to; so it'll be quite far into midgame ( unless you're Viktor ) before you notice Zed has Titanic Hydra passive and GP has Duskblade's Blackout.

This also effectively means together with you and an enemy, you have 12 item slots.

So when that Ornn ult does way more damage than you expected, he might be bonded with Veigar.

Happy Hunting!

I think the game should show who is paired with who during champ select. If you are paired with another player, you want to prepare for what you expect them to build. And throughout the game you should be able to see who is paired with who. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of a new game mode imo if its main feature is blurred with a passive you have to investigate to find (pressing Tab will show who has what item anyway).

Interesting concept, but can lead to something really broken, what if Tryndamere got bonded to a Jax? He ults and he gets free chances to demolish enemy team in a teamfight, and Jax gets free crits, assuming crit chance carries over with the bond.

I like the idea, but what's to stop the jinx from building 6 long swords as fast as she can? Then Lux can't build anything.
