Would RIOT Ever Consider a Posession Themed Champion

Would RIOT ever consider adding a champion with a possession ability? Maybe not with full control of the other character, that would be too OP and would take fun away from the other player. But what if they could share a body with another champion and use their own abilities (or modified versions of them) from within the other champion? Or what if they could give their target stat changes, like increased or reduced damage taken (depending on if its an enemy or an ally).

It seems like it would be really cool thematically, although I won't claim to know how best to implement it for balance and fair counterplay.

2 Karthus ? I'm okay with that if he's on my team

No, not like Karthus. Karthus doesn't possess another character, his spirit just sticks around to attack enemies a little longer. And maybe they would need to add some balance such that if he possesses an ally they both take the damage the ally takes.

Would this guy http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/AEsmrn48-champion-concept-ter-ad-support qualifies as possession champion? His passive would be something closer to what you mean.

Also, if a lot of people likes and comments on a champion concept, then it will have higher chance to become a real champion.

That sort of works, I mean the passive does work like a possession, but I was thinking more of an optional possession, like have it on an ability, so that they could choose to possess an ally and use abilities or possess an enemy and debuff them like the passive on the linked concept. I'll upvote the other one, but its not quite what I meant by this post.

Give me a day or two and i will make concept based on possessions. We will see how that will roll.

Oh okay, cool :) I was mostly just curious to know if RIOT would ever consider such a character.

One of recent champ concept (Dhama) is being made right now. However, it had no kit or lore and just had visual stuff.

A RIOTer did come out and say they did not draw inspiration from Dha'ma, but yes, I know they have drawn from player-created champion concepts in the past.
