Lutzburg's Design Corner

Hey everyone! This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, and I finally got around to building it. Using an awesome tool on a website called Last Gasp, I've created a Random Champion and Ability Generator!

Why Did You Make this?: I think this is a great way to challenge ourselves as creators and designers, and it also gives us a very specific set of parameters in which to focus our ideas. It should also allow us to more freely and easily stumble upon novel, unique new mechanics, even if we only do so by accident.

How It Works: Clicking that link will take you to a hastily thrown together blog, which has a javascript link that loads up the Generator. Every time you click the link, it will randomly choose from a huge list of options from seven different categories. I've tried to account for as much stuff as possible, with an emphasis on mashing up various mechanics in the game. Some of the categories have "weights" to them in order to make some choices more common than others. For example, "Snare" should appear much more often than "Suppression."

Spread The Word!: Please share your random Champions in this thread and use this area to discuss new ideas and mechanics for League of Legends! Also feel free to use the Generator to create new moves for your existing Champions. Crediting/Linking to me here would be nice, but definitely not necessary!

My Work: If you want to see some of my work, please check out my Mega Thread, which contains over 80 unique Champion concepts!

animeboy2428 was nice enough to use my ability generator to inspire an AWESOME new concept, which you can find here-

Xeno, the Accursed

Xeno's W was the original ability inspiration, which required animeboy to create an ability that was targeted, did AoE damage AND included a knock-up. No small feat!

Hello Again Lutz!

Not sure if you'll ever see this, but, I was able to get the mods to pin this for awhile to give it some more visibility.

It's only temporary, depending on how the traffic is for this thread, but hey, its still some visibility.

Lets hope it gets some good traffic!

So, this actually gave me a pretty broken but awesome idea if it could actually be balanced. It said On next hit suppress and it affects towers, this sounds like a pretty baller ultimate for a possible diver, it would also be great to buy item 3056 on them considering it's a forgotten item.

Hey i used that item once or twice!

Any ways Lutzburg, GlaD to see you on the boards. So many of the greats have disappeared! Anyways do you update the options ever?

I feel like with the recent re-evaluation of sub-classes you could put the ones you don't have listed into the Roles

anyways I think u did a decent job accounting for pretty much everything league has to offer in terms of camp design.

I think u did a cool and gud job

Welp, now that I've run out of old champions to upload, maybe it's time I blow the dust off of this guy and give it a whirl. :)

Bumping this for anyone who wants to use it and try their hand at creating a champion concept.
