I would love to see a champion based around the idea of granting vision... that doesn't last for 2 seconds or only give vision if the enemy isn't looking at where they are going cough Metal ghost solid cough

or a champion that uses alchemy and potions in a way that benefits allies

or even a champion who doesn't have a physical body and plays by "infesting" minions, objects and other champions would be cool ...maybe even give them the ability to infest enemy champions too for a short amount of time and apply extreme debuffs to them

Those are just some of my ideas. What type of mechanics would you guys like to see in league?

I've wanted to see a skillshot that bounced off walls on an angle

Champion, who is actually a pet of someone else. Nashor's kid - bit worm champion. Metal bender. Champion, who could manipulate his own minions. Some kind of craftsman, who could build buildings.

A champion that can reflect enemy abilities as their own maybe A champion who could bend abilities could also be cool.

I want a champion like Mina from Dawngate. She could inhabit the body of allies, providing a damage shield and absorbing a portion of the damage dealt to the ally. She could then leap back out to Fear (a hard CC) enemy units, or bomb the enemy team with an ult that amplified ally damage dealt to them. You could build her for damage to poke down with skillshots, or load her up with aura effects to "backpack" on an ally and make them crazy strong.

I've had this idea where they create a hill and you are slowed going up it but sped up going down it for a lot of versatility in team fights and would be good on a tank or support.

I would like to see a perpetual toggle ability (toggles through a set of three modes, instead of just on/off).

I made a champ concept using that concept, but all my concepts get downvoted with no criticism, so I kinda gave up on posting concepts.

Would like to see a champion with the passive that when he's out of mana, he could health to make spells without limit.

A support champion capable of fully riviving an ally, making them not having to stare at a gray screen for 47593407694302798347689023768957 seconds with this death timers.

A champion which can split into two weaker champions, like kindred, but actually permanently two and they are both targetable

I would love to see a champion that uses sound as a weapon. Perhaps have his q release a skillshot that can bounce off of walls, and his w could create a passable wall that will help him bounce the skillshot more

a 2 hit mechanic

Storing enemy projectiles and unleashing them all at once.

Example Q/W/E: Select a target point, if a projectile is on said point when released, the projectile is absorbed and stored.

All are released as low-damage projectiles that pierce, or released to heal a target for 100 points each projectile

Possibly even working with being near minions that die. Pretty much a hard-counter to all Projectile Based Characters

Perhaps as a support

A champion who had no body and could only walk in walls (like a shadow), could have an ability to make a shadow bridge or could possess enemy champions would be great to play. Being sneaky around walls and being just a shadow, like Nocturne but good.

What about a dream based champion? They could have an ability that puts a unit to sleep making them unable to move until they take damage or the duration ends. Their ultimate could cause all sleeping targets to take damage (not disabling sleep) and inflict grievous wounds, and their passive could be you deal bonus damage when you wake up a target.

A terraformer champion who can create pieces of terrain and then that ability can be reactivated to do something to the terrain or around it.

And of course the champion concepts I have made: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/ZVRhyhyx-a-genie-champion-why-does-this-not-exist-already (Genie with passive like Kalista and her skills are all based off of wishes with her ult making them an ascended with increased stats and fearing people around them on activation.) http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/gEw4Zb63-alkarim-the-midas-touch-rebooted-champion-concept (Gold based champion)

A curved dash. Place an anchor point, then launch yourself around that point while tethered to it in some way. Thematically, this works with anything from a rope/grappling hook to a source of very strong gravity (mini black hole).

I'd really like to see a champion whose entire kit is focused around minion control. Direct damage would be minimal, but the champ could manipulate his waves to win fights:

Passive: allied minions within X units of this champion take X less damage from AOE spells. (Makes the champ great for a siege comp)

Q: Command nearby allied minions to advance to a specific position (ignoring enemy minion aggro)

W: Give allied minions within X range increased attack speed for 3 seconds

E: Heal allied minions within X range

R: Transform one melee minion into a single super-minion or a caster into an empowered cannon (Baron buff)

A champion that can steal mana and distribute it along allies. :3

DeadJokr5/11/2016, 6:52:37 PM3 votes

i always dream of a champ that can control/lead minion to fight for him and helping the minions with a buff of some sort. i dont know just something on the line of a champion that is heavily focus on the minions then the other champion. i think it can be a great siege champ.

I would love a "parasite" champ, one that just kinda chills in allies and sometimes enemies. :D I have made a rough concept myself, maybe worth a peek? (Yep I know taboo of posting your own pages...)

A champion who can slow down time Like, you create a zone in which animation-, attack-, movement-, channel-, cast-, regeneration- and literally every other speed is just cut in half. For balancing purposes this should probably apply to allies aswell and/or would need the champion not being able to just walk up to the enemies and punching them down.
