Idea for champ ability

A gobal stun that works like karthus ult... how long it should stun and so on is up to the balance masters of rito.. What do u guys think.. Too op?

Im also thinking a supp who can place a global ward..

And last but not least a ult like quinns but with the possibility og doing aa meanwhile.. a bit like kalista but more like a jetpack so u can move while ur champ will aa himself while u move..

I'm pretty sure most OP things can be balanced via taking from the power budget of a champion's kit elsewhere and just not giving the champion any potentially broken synergies with a particular effect, forcing them to work as a team to really "exploit" their kit, which in turn usually adds more to the game than takes away from it.

Problem with new mechanics isn't balance so much as running into counter-play, anti-pattern, or just plain bad design.

Which a global stun kind of runs into conflicts with. I'm sure if you gave ample warning it was coming via Taric's snail-paced Dazzle or Karthus's requiem build-up you _could _get a stun to work on a global ultimate. You'd probably just need really awful capabilities of fallowing up on said stun and landing a QWE on the champion with it, seeing as most QWER burst-combos hinge on landing a slow-moving, easily dodgeable skillshot, and global ult kind Karthus style means "not a skillshot, always hits".

Im also thinking a supp who can place a global ward..

TwistedFate and Ashe can both essentially scout anywhere (TF in particular basically says "warded everywhere" when he uses his ult, and a variety of champions can place ward-like traps or summons like Maokai Teemo Shaco.

Not sure what you're proposing here is particularly new or unique, at least on the ends of what such an ability would ultimately accomplish.

And last but not least a ult like quinns but with the possibility og doing aa meanwhile.. a bit like kalista but more like a jetpack so u can move while ur champ will aa himself while u move..

With Kalista existing I'm sure that's not out of the question, and having such a capacity tied to an ult rather than passive would be easier to balance/play around.

Yeah the stun will have a tell like karthus and it is intended for the team to follow up cause the champ has to channel first.. its for an engage or disengage and its meant for it to be done from the lane to help ganks and so on.. and im thinking the champ should be supp..

The ward is meant to actually place a funtioning ward that last 3 mins of whatever is balanced.. No other champ can do that.. but they can do similar things.. So u avoid the risk of getting caught while warding.. Its pretty op but then the champ would lack some tf power cause of that ability i feel..

The jetpack idea is an idea i thought about just before kalista.. and i absolutely love kalista.. So i just thought there could be a champ who could do it even better but only in a small time frame because it is an ability the champ has to use.. The problem is then how it would work mechanically.. Like im thinking u could lock on the champ u would like to hit.. Or ur champ could just hit all with decreased dmg.. i dont know..

U could also have an ability that gives all a shield.. that works like janna ult just with a shield so u have to time it better but it will have to be a bit stronger cause of the counterplay on it.. I think that could be fun.. it requires good timing tho...
