A new support mechanic

Idea was that a skill that for 5 secs all healing on one enemy champion causes damage to it instead. Ex: Swain is ulting... he takes damage for 5 seconds instead of healing. Counterplay---> don't ult until you know the move is used OR bait the ult like taric let or morg shield.

Ex: fiora-trynd any ad melee life steals? for 5 seconds their greatest asset is now their downfall. even zed might "kill" himself more easily as a skillshot gets him to half from a champ in the split second and then zed finishes himself off trying to get the adc. Finally a support can counter assassins excellently.

You'd have to delete Mundo and everyone would switch to shields. Exhaust already counters assassins.

you underestimate how long 5 seconds is, and how completely broken that would be. Basically every support with a heal would be useless, mundo would be useless, darius would be useless, and adcs would all suicide from lifesteal.

Creative, but that couldn't work healthily. I'm all for supports that counter assassins (AKA: Not most new supports who seem to all be countered by basic mobility and burst Cough Taric), but that wouldn't be the right way. More people with strong on-demand displacements would be the better way, like Alistar's W.

Closest I had was a champion ability that cleared CC off allies or blocked healing and mana regen for a couple seconds on enemies.

This idea is actually retarded

If I'm playing Volibear and this support uses it on me when I have my passive.

I'm dead.
