New Champion

Some sort of Hydra, where its health caps at certain points (like kled), but when that happens it adds a head and increases its attack speed. This can then translate to abilities such as a fireball that would fire multiple times depending on the number of heads. Just spitballing ideas.

I'm not bored, I swear.

Passive:

Hydra has three health bars, each corresponding to a specific elemental head type.
Each time Hydra takes damage, that damage is applied to a random health bar (it will always go to a bar with fewer quantity heads, if applicable).
When a health bar is fully depleted ("severed"), the head(s) tied to that bar are visibly removed from Hydra's model, leaving a stump.
After a short duration, the "severed" bar will start restoring its health. This is only stopped by Stasis effects.
Once fully healed, all previous head(s) for that bar will regrow along with one additional (up to a cap).
Hydra actually dies if all three bars are in "severed" state simultaneously (regardless of current level of healing on any of them).
Max heads per bar is 1 (+1 per ultimate level).
The current quantity of heads on all three bars is reset to 1 if Hydra actually dies.
Anything that would affect a bar's amount from any source is split evenly (rounded down) between all three bars. +Health from items, healing/restore, shields, etc. are all affected by this.

Fire element head(s) each launch an arcing fireball towards the target location, dealing damage in an AoE on impact.
These fireballs will ignore anything in their arc's path, including Braum/Yasuo walls.
The first fireball always lands at the specified location, and has an increased radius of effect.
Fireballs beyond the first land randomly within an area around the targeted location, and each one is considered a separate projectile.
Enemies hit take reduced damage from subsequent hits in the same cast.

Lightning element head(s) each spray bolts of erratic electricity in a forward cone, dealing damage to everything in range.
Each additional head at time of cast increases the width and length of the affected area for that cast.
Every enemy hit has a 50% chance to suffer a microstun, which lasts only 0.1 second.
Microstun is calculated per head's attack, and additional microstuns will stack sequentially (max 0.4 second duration).
Enemies take reduced damage from subsequent hits in the same cast.

Ice element head(s) each spray a line of ice down forward paths, arranged as a fan of slightly overlapping lines.
Each line leaves behind a zone of ice, which slows any enemies that attempt to move through it.
Enemies caught in the affected area during the attack suffer damage as well.

Hydra enrages, instantly (re)growing all heads up to the currently available max.
Basic ability cooldowns are reduced to a static 2 seconds.
Mana costs are removed.
Movement speed is doubled.
Dealing or taking damage extends the duration of rage.
When the rage wears off, Hydra enters a modified suppression (can't be removed by any means, disables all actions from any source) and its heads begin attacking each other. After a fixed duration, all heads except one "sever" and the suppression is removed. All head counts are reset.
During the suppression, Hydra emits raucous noise that enemies can clearly hear (even without vision). This noise gradually falls off over a vast distance (think along the lines of Lux or Xerath ult). Also, visual effect similar / along the lines of Rek'Sai's Tremor Sense at Hydra's location (if no vision).

Holy crap I didn't even think my concept would get a response, let alone this awesomely thought out one. I will be honest that ultimate is almost exactly what I had in mind from the get go xD I also think it would be interesting to have another champion that can't buy boots (like cass) so maybe that would be a part of it because for the life of me I have no idea where the boots would go on the monstrosity xD Thank you for this tho
