Champion Idea: Support That Deals No Damage

Leafybeans·6/20/2015, 3:29:03 AM·2 votes·809 views

This is just an interesting kit that I thought of. I feel like this idea would work really well in higher level play but not so much in lower level.

The idea: A Support That Deals No Damage -To make up for this, their spells would be really good CC or utility spells. -Possibly a mana drain? (they spend health for an enemies mana - otherwise it would delay cds) -Large stun -Large shield or heal -Mobility block (silences all mobility for X seconds) -Would need a gold making ability -NO mobility please (would just make mobility creep work) -Simple kit (would just make the game worse)

How would they deal no damage? -Spells would simply deal no damage -No AD, or they would have AD, but no damage to champions or creeps -Would still deal damage to buildings

Pros.. -Would create a very interesting and new play style -The game needs some more creative stuff IMO -Would make support more interesting to play -Now supports can't KS or take creeps -New champion!

Cons.. -Would have to have broken amounts of CC to make up for it -Screwed in a 1v1 -Could not push

Please let me know what you think below! :)

So he cant use Spell thiefs or Relic? both require auto attacks/spells. those spells probably cost alot so 5 gold for 90 mana - Lose idk my thoughts

I like the idea.

Here's a few ideas that I got just from reading your post that would potentially take away some of the CC aspect and focus on other means of supporting.

• Spell to empower other allies basic attack damage or spell damages. Similar to Janna's shield but without the shield aspect. • Spell to make a minion stronger or add an extra minion to a lane. • Spell to place additional vision wards, similar to Kalista's ghouls but doesn't roam. • Spell to make a turret immune to damage for a short duration, while still allowing it to attack. • Spell to temporarily stop an enemy from dealing any damage to anything but is canceled upon taking damage. Could be called Pacifism. • Spell to set up a wall or a barrier at a location similar to Anivia's wall, but have no set duration and have it constantly take mana to channel like Singed's poison with a toggle on/off.

I'll probably think of more, but any of these would be a cool addition to the champion's kit.

Hm. Theres two major problems with this.

Mana burn. NO. Riot already put the hammer down on this ages ago. Riot really hates mana burn.
No damage? Good luck kid. Headed down to baron with you're team when you suddenly get ganked. GG. You're screwed.

Its a neat idea, but its just got so many heavy downsides that it would literally be underplayed.

However, add just a bit of damage (as a support should have a decent amount of damage capability so they can AT LEAST survive on their own in 1v1 as well as having things to support/control the path of the team fights.)

I think you can pull it off with that in mind.

If you want to see one of my supports (which I'm actually still looking for feedback, haha) you can check her out here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/ly3RAKdT-alice-the-thoughtcaster

I had an idea for something like this, but they would be a form changing champion like Elise, Nidalee, and Jayce. One form would be their Support form where they have little to no damage, but their other from would be more damaged based.
