[Gamemode Concept] Champion Builder

This is a rough concept since there are a few things I'm unsure of how to do but my idea is basically as follows:

The game will start off with a normal 6 ban draft phase. After bans you will create your team's champion! every player can select different champs or the same champ multiple times and based on the player position in select will determine what ability you get.

So player 1 will choose say aatrox for example, this will give everyone aatrox's passive. player 2 will choose say caitlyn, this will give everyone caitlyn's Q. player 3 will choose say teemo, this will give everyone teemo's W. And this goes on for all 5 picks, last pick being R/ultimate.

That's basically the idea, to mix and match champion abilities into 1 big crazy 5 ability kit determined by you and your 4 other team mates. The rest of the game would be a normal 5v5, 2 summoner spells each etc. As for the champ/skin you get to play with all 5 abilities I have no idea, maybe a weird mystery man type skin?

I understand how difficult this would be to actually make but I think if it's possible it would be a very unique and entertaining game mode.

Edit: The only thing I'm really not sure of for this other than the skin is the attack range/stats of the champ, I suppose the easiest way would be to take these from the first champion (aka the passive ability pick) but then everyone would likely go super long range champs like cait which might be annoying.

Interesting. Considering the variety of skillsets that can be made with over 500 different skills in total, it'd be a sight to see indeed!

Sounds great, but there are so much problems.. there are abilities that: -interact with other abilities (ex. Azir 's Q and E) -are 2-form abilities (RekSai 's W, Nidalee 's R, etc.) -can work only with another abilities (ex. Elise 's passive; AurelionSol 's W) -cannot interact with any other ability from another champion's kit (ex. Graves 's passive (or Jhin 's passive) and MissFortune 's W)

This gives a new meaning to Team Builder

What about the champion model and stats? what decides that?

I'd love for this to happen! I'd just hate it if it was an all healing comp though (Taric Q, Soraka W, Alistar E, Soraka R). That'd be pretty fun honestly. Upvoted.

Soooo, ... everyone has this chimera champion? Everyone on one team or both?

I was actually thinking and talking about something similar to this with a friend once, it would be GREAT to have this gamemode in the game. Sounds like a lot of fun!

This would definetly be an interesting game mode.

Seems Legit. Would love to see it in league and i have 2 ideas for the basic attacks: Before each player selects there individual ability or whatever, each player could vote weather they would like a ranged champ basic attack or a melee attack. Then the majority win

Idea 2: When everyone picks there individual ability or whatever, if the majority of the abilities are ranged e.g zed q, xerath q, and teemo q, then the newly formed champ will be ranged. If the majority of the abilities are melee e.g zed e, alistar q, and blitz e, then the newly formed champ will be melee.

This is an amazing concept. I think that the champ you pick should give you your base stats.

I don't think it would be the hardest to code either, it just might present some technical problems in the implementation stage. Only testing would show whether or not they're surmountable.

I like it could lead to some really unbalanced game play, but thats what rgm is for right ? Fun and this sounds mega fun.

I really like this idea it's very interesting and I wish for it to be made

I think something that would make it even more interesting would be if you could only use the champion's abilities if you owned them
