The 5 Champion Challenge

Hello fellow creators!

I've come up with a fun little challenge that uses a process that I created to get rid of my creators block.

The challenge is to create 5 new champions using RNG. ... Sounds ridiculous, I know.

here's the process I use:

  1. I go to RandomWordGenerator.com and make a list of 100 words (it can be less if you want but I like having a lot of random options).

  2. I copy/paste all 100 words into a word processor (I.E Wordpad) and transform it into a numbered list by highlighting them all and pressing the numbered list button.

  3. I go to Random.org and use the Random Integer Set Generator and use it to generate 1 set with 30 unique random integers in each. Each integer should have a value between 1 and 100. and press GET SETS! at the bottom.

  4. I cross reference each number with a number of a random word I got from step 1/2. and put it into a new list, making 30 words to use.

  • If I get a repeated word I use googles random number generator from 1 - 100 until i get a non repeated word.
  1. Once I have my list of 30 words, I use the same Random Integer Set Generator. This time I tell it to generate 5 sets with 4 unique random integers in each. Each integer should have a value between 1 and 30.

  2. I cross reference all 5 sets of 4 words until I have 20 unique terms all together.

  • Once again I use googles random number generator if I get a repeated number.
  1. these 4 words become the main design inspiration for each of the 5 champions.

  2. Finally I design champion kits and thematic around these words, bingobango I've got 5 cool champions.

Example; I got my 100 words, and whittled it down to 30, then got my 5 sets of 4.

  • Set 1. Storm, Burn, Cut and Sorrow.
  • Set 2. Acid, Alone, Obsession and Lurking.
  • Set 3. Plant, Heal, Smile and Dream.
  • Set 4. Pain, Breathe, Hunger and Spit.
  • Set 5. Snow, Heaven, Iron and Undertow.

These clusters of words can make a champion feel alive, give you a new take on something you didn't think about before and help clear that pesky creators block. (Maybe make a weird champion that isn't just a warrior that hits things.)

If you want to give it a try, post what you got here!

Thanks!

I am fairly sure your set 2 is how they came up with the rework for Urgot ! [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Honestly, this seems like a fun way to get new ideas.
