I have this idea for a champion that would be able to steal other champion's abilities. I did not work on it (if someone wants to imagine the spells it would be fun) but i think it's a good idea and my friend thinks it sucks What do you guys think ?
AmazingBeaver1 votesIt would be nice but it should be like and R ability and u can only steal other r abilities just from enemies . and should have like a passive effect on it too , and long cd ^^
GreenLore1 votesOnly stealing the ultimate would be kinda messy with 
And how would it work with abilities that interact with the champion in some other way?
would he get stacks and grow bigger from 
s ult?
How many orbs would you get for 
s?
How much armor would the ult of 
ignore?
How many stacks would you have for 
?
Would you also gain the bonus damage from 
?
Who would you call with 
ult?(especially if she is the enemy)
and so on...
RussoRed1 votesdepends on what it steals if it was shiffting sands from azir it would be useless or a couger form attack off of nid or a spider attack off of elise but other than that it sounds like fun but his/her positon would not have a main
Lonely Flame1 votesYour friend is right. This is an idea that gets suggested a lot and it will almost definitely never, ever be implemented into league.
Simply put imagine this scenario: You walk up to a Lux. You think 'oh I can dodge her ult no problem!' then suddenly she suppresses you with a Malz ult. You had absolutely no idea that was going to happen because literally EVERY OTHER CHAMP has only 1 set of abilities that don't change.
Not to mention the animation nightmare that would exist in having a champ who can cast any other champions abilities. Seriously, imagine say Rumble being animated to sue Renekton's Slice and Dice. It would look like a mess.
GreenLore1 votesI think stealing single abilities doesn't work,but I think imitating a different champion would be ok,but still a nightmare to balance(how would you build someone like that?Or do they copy the stats/items as well?)
Cindikle1 votesDoes he pull out Jayce's cannon to use his Q?
Only thing I can think of is similar to Sated's pet. Where it's just a copy of the users attack. But Sated just has to load that champions copy. This champion would have to have a copy of every ability in the game on top of his own.
I don't think there's a possible way to balance this either. There's too much variation.
CNN NEWS AT 51 votesI already had this concept in mind for a champion concept, a little late to the party m8
