:D not even close :D Teemo Singed not assassins. RekSai not a worm and not that tanky. Mordekaiser not assassin, not support and not liquid. Thresh not made out of jade. Garen he is on steroids, not a half-giant.

A: poison-master assassin (assassin) Dot Assassin sounds interesting. If you manage to make a champion that even when ahead still relies on his Dot instead of bursting with another ability (Teemo Q, Casseopia E), it would result in a very interesting playstyle.

B: earthworm monster (tank) Since the burrow mechanic has already been used RekSai the only interesting aspect I could potentially think of is a giant champion that consist of multiple parts (which is really hard to balance), maybe you could elaborate a bit more.

C: liquid metal humanoid (assassin/support) A Fullmetal Zac and the T1000 come to mind. I do like the concept of an assassin support though. (high mobility CC or Utility and Burst ?)

D: jade monster (tank/support) Don't really have a clear theme in mind from reading that... Does Jade have an assoziated power ?

E: half-giant (tank/fighter) Does have a lot of competetition from other giant champions Sion Nautilus Malphite and might need some defining features. Since some stories feature gaints as children of the earth maybe he could be a terraformer that does more than place a single wall with an ability.

Well, these are just basic ideas i got. I am thinking into making concept out of one or two of them (probably with 3D models).

A: poison-master assassin (assassin) Dot Assassin sounds interesting. If you manage to make a champion that even when ahead still relies on his Dot instead of bursting with another ability (Teemo Q, Casseopia E), it would result in a very interesting playstyle.

Yea. Instead of just bursting, this champion would built up poisons/diseases on enemies, while still playing as an assassin.

B: earthworm monster (tank) Since the burrow mechanic has already been used the only interesting aspect I could potentially think of is a giant champion that consist of multiple parts (which is really hard to balance), maybe you could elaborate a bit more.

While burrow might be part of this champion, it won't be as important as RekSai . I was thinking about something like hive-mind/ overlord type of beast, who instead of keeping himself burrowed, will use his personal minions to dig around the map.

C: liquid metal humanoid (assassin/support) A Fullmetal and the T1000 come to mind. I do like the concept of an assassin support though. (high mobility CC or Utility and Burst ?)

Utility + burst, but with a catch: if played as support - will increase burst of others, if played as assassin - can't support.

D: jade monster (tank/support) Don't really have a clear theme in mind from reading that... Does Jade have an assoziated power ?

Well, jade is green and green usually means healing. Also, being made out of mineral (similar to Malphite , but in a different way), this one would focus around gem and elemental powers.

E: half-giant (tank/fighter) Does have a lot of competetition from other giant champions and might need some defining features. Since some stories feature gaints as children of the earth maybe he could be a terraformer that does more than place a single wall with an ability.

While these are huge (i don't thing their race are giants, though), i think giant race should need more defined and consistent features: big size, massive strength, earth and lightning control, power of the voice and so on.

HOTS Abathur :P ? Sounds interesting, but I hope the minions end up becoming something different to item 3512 Yorick etc.

:( Sounds a little underwhelming to choose between two roles and not mix them up in an interesting way.

So pre rework taric ? Since we already have generic heals and medkits what type of healing are you gonna promote ?

No their race isn't giant, but they have size as a defining feature. If you want to make a Gaint you should make it appearent that he isn't just a strong big guy, but belongs to a different race.

Hugely different, but not sure how. There is many options:

Pure support minions with utility;
Situational minions;
Minions you could combo abilities with; and so on.

Well, i think it sounds more fun to play one out of two (meaningful choice, riot likes those:

Assassin; or
Support for an assassin.

I thinking about tactical healing (when you need to set up abilities to actually get good healing) or healing dispenser (allies have to click on you to get healed).

Yea. Also, because there is no established giant race, i can make it how i want (but will probably stay with earth+lightning+sound theme).
