Permanent Terrain Destruction Ult

This is mostly just spitballing BUT here's my idea

A damage cone ability that knocks enemies back away from you, and if enemies collide with terrain, the terrain is destroyed as the move through it, permanently

I would have to advise against permanent destruction both because so far all instances of terrain creation have been temporary so it would seem unfair and also because given time this champ could destroy the entire map and that's not a good thing.

And like others have said, a new physics engine would be needed to accommodate changes like that, unless perhaps it's something more like Bard's E where the ult victim's trajectory blasts a two-way tunnel through terrain that allied and/or enemy champs can crawl through.

That's a really interesting idea. Sadly I don't think the terrain would be able to be destroyed because that would require a new physics engine and would open itself up to TONS of bugs.

Considering that the maps layout is actually pretty well thought out, giving a champion the ability to permanently add/destroy terrain seems very unintuitive. Could you maybe link said Rioter ? I am pretty sure he would have talked about temporary terrain destruction.
