Champion idea : Ability steal

Raf0pla·7/12/2015, 1:53:14 PM·2 votes·432 views

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 ?

It 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 ^^

depends 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

Your 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.

I 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?)

Does 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.

I already had this concept in mind for a champion concept, a little late to the party m8
