Concept Ideas (Stealth)

With Riot bringing up how they are introducing new stealth concepts to the game with the assassin updates, it made me wonder what could it be. So i sat down for a bit and thought of some cool stealth ideas or concepts that haven't been quite introduced to the game.

  1. "Radar Jammer" as some might put it, a brief aura emitting from a champion or object placed by champion that creates a zone where people outside of the zone cannot have vision within, and people within have impaired vision. Almost like a nocturneNocturne ult taking a form of a zone.

Example: This stealthy jungler is standing in river and his path to river is very warded. He/she activates his ability and as he/she heads bot, the wards in his path lose their vision, then when he gets to the bot laners, their vision is somewhat impaired, and any laners outside the zone have absolutely no vision of whats going on in bot lane therefore have poor judgement of whether or not to use TP to a nearby ward. That or wards in the zone are simply not able to be TP'd on.

  1. Disguise as either a champion, minion, or camp. Very much like twitch, id imagine there would be a channel before getting into your disguise. This would lead to some tricky invasions, up lane ganks, and cool deceptive bursts from what you thought was a support braumBraum or a very intimidating presence as a well fed jaxJax .

  2. A concept that i always thought would be perfect for NocturneNocturne if he were able to attach himself to a laner, kinda like how a spirit or ghost would, he would hitch a ride with a laner and be snuck up into the lane and when this ability is reactivated he would be cast out of his vessel and turn the tides of a duel. Think of something somewhat similar to Kalista's Kalista ult.

Got any cool stealth ideas? Id like to see them! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I think 'Radar Jammer' could be two separate effects. The one is 'wards and traps don't see you, or are turned off' like what Red Trinket does, and the other is the 'they can't see in, they can't see out' AoE. Both are pretty powerful effects, but the latter feels like a champion ability.

The Disguise aka Tricksters Glass was a pretty neat item. That said, if it exists at all it should be on an item. It feels too narrow to be a champion ability.

The Hitchhiker is like a reverse Tahm W. You go inside them at will. Neat enough, but maybe too similar to Tahm and Kali.


I made two champions that heavily use vision and stealth.

Oracle, a psychic seer and priestess with access to True Sight. She can also control her Field of Sight, maneuvering it around the map independently of herself.

Imoen, an adorable yordle thief in an oversized cloak wielding a giant magical key. She can open secret doors and peek through keyholes.
