The shapeshifter can attaches to a nearby ally champion for 3 seconds, which will give that ally a shield based on max health, increase that allies movement speed by 20%, and make The Shapeshifter invulnerable. He attaches to a nearby enemy champion, stunning that enemy for 2/2.25/2.5/2.75/3 seconds dealing magic damage over time depending on max health, and making him invulnerable.

Cost 20/30/40/50/60 cells

The shapeshifter gathers intel for 2 seconds (channels and gains vision in range), then selects a nearby enemy, and takes one of its abilities to use in the next 20 seconds. If the ability gained is not used in time, it's lost, and the abilities cooldown is halved and he gains back the mana cost. When it copies an ability, that ability can be seen on top of his head. It cannot copy an enemies passive abilities, or ultimates.

Range - 1000/1500/2000/2500/3000 units

Cooldown - 30 seconds

E

Name - Warded

Cost - 80 cells

The Shapeshifter will teleport to any area in it's given radius, and mimics the warding totem it has for 10 seconds. This makes The Shapeshifter untargetable, and he can teleport to any location in the same radius used at the start. He can activate the ability again to teleport early or he can wait the full 10 seconds, and will be teleported back to where he was before using the spell.(Note he cannot manipulate the radius to teleport 2* the radius. It has the same radius range and location as when activated)

Range - (Based on trinket equipped. Example: if he has a warding totem (default) the ability will have the same range)

Cooldown - (Half of the cooldown of the equipped trinket)

R

Name - To the Rescue

Cost - 100 cells

The Shapeshifter will attach itself to any ally champion making that champion immune to any hard CC for 10 seconds, while becoming a shield and increasing the attack damage and ability power of that ally. If the shield is lost, or the 10 seconds are over, then The Shapeshifter will unattach himself, and regain full health. Shield 150/350/550 (+20% max health) Attack Damage 10/20/30 (+10% attack damage) Ability Power 10/20/30 (+10% attack damage) (Not bonus attack damage)

Range - Global

Cooldown - 120/100/80

Supported Roles - Support (Highly Recommended), Jungle (HIghly Recommended), Top (Recommended)

Playing as The Shapeshifter

Most supports don't have wards when needed and have to roam or facecheck to know enemy position. As The Shapeshifter you play a recommended support that is based off vision without dying from getting it. He has 1 damaging abiltiy, and is more cc related to help those adc's or mid laners get a kill. (support or jg role)

Playing against The Shapeshiter

You utilize where and when he uses his e, and what ability he replicates, and don't focus him down, so he can't get away.

Background

During a test of a new serum created by Doctor Brizen that can make a human resistant to nuclear waves. A man named Jermey volunteered for the experiment to get 10 years off his prison sentence. The moment he drank it, he was put into the chamber after receiving no side affects like suspected. Once turned on the chamber released minor nuclear waves, while Jermeys Vitals were being tested. In 10 minutes Doctor Brizen noticed that Jermey's blood pressure majorly increased, and his breathing decreased. He turned off the chamber immidiately, and looked inside. He only saw black dust lying on the floor, and no Jermey. The next day they canceled the experiment, and when they went to clean out the chamber nothing was inside. After suspecting that the dust blew away Brizen went home. When he arrived at his home he saw himself in the doorway staring at him. The moment after the mysterious figure turned into floating black dust, and took the life of doctor Brizen. Soon enough Jermey was seen alive by a friend of his who was suprised to see him, and asked, "How did you manage to survive the gas chamber." Jermey replied with, "I didn't survive. Instead I was transformed into something new. I got my revenge and will spend my days helping other in need." Then he turned back to his orignial form and flew away.

General idea: Great. Always wanted a parasite type champion. Maybe it could get a bit changed to be a void creature, since we don't have a void support and it would fit that idea pretty well.

Kit: Passive is an interesting new implementation of resource. But I would probably replace the rng block mechanic with something else, like giving additional armor based on the ammount of cells you currently have. RNG elements mostly are not really liked.

Q: How does it work? Is it a skillshot or point&click? If it is point&click it is probably too strong. 4 seconds stun is incredibly strong if you don't even have any conditions for it. It is basically comparable to Tahm Kench's W, but without the condition of having 3 stacks on an enemy and ranged.

W: Interesting mechanic, but again rng. Could be too hard to use. Maybe change it so you copy the last used skill of the enemy?

E: Probably too strong if you keep the blue trinket in mind. The range for this teleport would be insane. Maybe change it so this champion has his own wards in his kit, using an ammo system and having another benefit?

R: Too much stuff in one skill. It is basically a Shen ult on huge steroid. Like Shen ult: Global, giving shield to ally Additional: AD and AP buff to ally, CC immunity for ally, AoE fear, full heal for shapeshifter Just way too strong, it even has a shorter CD than Shen's. You should completely rework that skill and come up with something else here.

I hope you keep on working on that suggestion, it has some potential, but you definitely have to invest a bit more into it.

I took all my time and efforts to make a new champion I think should be possible, and this is what I've came up with. Plz read it all, change some things in the comments, and vote if you liked it or not based on the choices given. If you have an idea for a champion, and you need help I will also take requests. No Im not a riot employee, but I think I could help your champion become the "New Thing".

Ok the idea of additional armor I think would be too broken. I only think of this because if you have a low chance to block an aa it wouldnt be too overpowered in lane, but it would help peel in teamfights. If it gives additional armor and mr per certain amount of cells had then he would be more unkillable than a 1000 health in lane Nautilus. The Q will be point and click but 4 was a typo sorry about that. It was meant to be 2 seconds and increase to 3 like a morgana q.The trinket thing isnt overpowered because he's basically a ward fot 10 seconds. He cant actually teleport its more like freecam hacks in minecraft. It will just provide more vision if you dont have a ward at drag and it has a pretty big cooldown if you had a blue trinket at the time. I didnt want to copy shens ult completly, but I wanted to give the idea of global human body armor. I thought to myself that if I gave bonus movespeed as well or made it a taunt it would definitely be broken. To change it I'll probably take out the fear, Nerf the shield value, and turn the 10% attack damage to 5% due to him having a high base stat for it so you dont feel like you have to build damage. In all honesty I love these comments because they let me know you've seen what I've done and comments like yours helped improve the idea. Thank you :)

The hard part is that a void monster capable of shape shifting is sorta hard to think of if you keep the idea. Maybe if we made the character a void monster, but it turns into black dust when it attaches to someone increasing the base size of who it attaches too and applying the ability.I forgot to cover the w , but you can imagine a bot lane where no spells are cast at all till the enemy can all in and its too late. Thats why copying the last ability is sorta an issue for him in lane. Imagine if lux uses her ult, but misses. In that case you have 20 seconds to all in then cast lux's ultimate as an extra abiltiy. I can see where this could be broken, but it might need some changes to make it balanced. I more think of it as a tf ult where you then copy maybe a leblanc w, but without the global vision or global teleport. This would help increase vision, check baron from 1000 to 3000 units away, see what lanes enemies might group in before they do, or even copy a thresh hook to engage the enemy carry in a teamfight.
