@Riot: Do you think "I am the Swarm" is a good Champion thematic?

This theme really worked out for Blizzard with Starcraft 2's Zerg Campaign, but I'm wondering whether or not it could be suitable for a future Void Champion. The gameplay of "spawn mass minions" didn't work out so well for Yorick, but that doesn't mean it's an impossible theme to work with; just a hard one.

So to ask, would you ever explore such a theme for a Champion?

No, because that would be plagiarizing Blizzard.

Not unless they take WAY too many things from the Zerg. If it's just bits and pieces used as inspiration, it's not necessarily copyright infringement.

Yorik doesn't really spawn mass minions though, he and Azir both summon few, short lived minions.

Yorick's getting reworked, and Azir's theme is "The Emperor of Shurima".

Well they once talked about the concept of a champ who is made of a swarm(as in he/she consists of lots of smaller beings) and said that they'd like to get something like that into the game.

Oh, so someone like D'Vorah from Mortal Kombat (in a sense)?

I think more along the lines of a being whose entire body is made of the swarm. http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Swarm.JPG

But they didn't go into detail about it,so we don't know for sure.
