A ward based support

zlumpy·6/21/2016, 6:12:22 PM·6 votes·746 views

What if they made a support that gives all the people complaining at supports and riots support focus exactly what they want. A champ that is literally based around warding.

Passive: gain xp for placing wards. Pink wards count as full tank minion xp. Q Buffs a ward to have a fire dmg aura and takes 3 more hits to kill ranks increase dmg and range on fire aura W makes a copy of an existing ward and throws it to target location E causes all wards within a distance of champ to create a slow pulse that travels outward and does a small amount of dmg. R tied to a champ specifi item like victor item. Offense: shoots a friggen laser! Defense creates small safe zones around wards that increase armor/mr Utility activate R to increase ward sight range and add 1/4 of remaining duration back to existing wards. R passive: double all ward placement limitations.

Btw this is mostly a troll post meant to be humorous so go wild discussing!

character graphics design: older gentleman or lady with a gruff but not snide attitude.

makes comments on other players ward placements.

humor emote: plays a magic trick with a ward only to have the ward fall out of their sleeve/jacket/robe

I think said champ would have to generate their own special kind of ward instead of relying on the Stone or Trinket wards. Can you imagine how bonkers it'd be to coordinate your team into dumping all their wards in a team fight so you can deal AOE damage from 5 wards?

sounds like a champ that has simmilar to Zyra mechanics but instead of wards maybe something like totems?

P.S. that fire aura woulddefinetly screw your adc's lasthitting

You're looking at a TON of hidden/hard to see value that you will be able to use against opponents here. Just straight buffs and debuffs coming from invisible items would be very hard to balance, would lack counterplay (everyone would have to get sweepers which would be a problem), and it may well be Un-fun to play against.

I think what you should consider instead would be the ability to create ward-like objects on the map that are more durable than zyra seeds and are not simply traps. Perhaps a visible one which could be activated continuously to produce effects, and an invisible one that is destroyed upon activation.

I really like the inspiration for this, but I think using actual wards would be a can of worms. Great outta the box thoughts, though.

i've made a post about a vision based support (which i got carried away with kit wise) called thoresi, the light bringer. he places wards through an ability and becomes an adc without me realizing.

i'm open to suggestions and ideas on the post

Oh I thought of a name potentially: Robert/Roberta, The Head Wardian. lore would be something along the lines of a champ that was in charge of the ward making facility that the summoners use and got miffed that the wards weren't being properly utilized so they joined the fray.

That's one way to do it, but I'd prefer a champion who uses her Field of Sight as her core gameplay mechanic.

I was actually thinking about a ward based champion my self and I think this would be hilariously trolly. I would love to see this in the game
