A character/champion that I would want to see in a future

###A some-sort shapeshifting champion.

He/she would have his/her own abilities, thought they would be somewhat limited in power due to the power of R.

Their ultimate ability would allow to take form of an enemy that was killed and could remain in that form until they respawn or upon recalling to base. I imagine for such an ultimate ability the balancing would be that only 1 to 3 abilities would be allowed to be used based on the ability rank.

I might create a post where I will create a champion based on some of these factors.

###What do you people think?

I'm not really onboard.

For one, this means the champion's strength will be based on what the enemy team has in choice of champions.

And two, it requires the enemy to be dead.

I' d say being able to copy an ally would make more sense,though I don't think if this would be a good idea,because you could just play this champ as a support and then copy your fed adc(and if it doesn't copy the item stats,then it'd be super awkward to build items for this champ).

Great Idea... I think even the shape shifting part is a good concept but Riot will probably limit that to only abilities then :/ If someone uses their R on you you would automatically get their R and be able to use that on them? Something like that should happen great idea :)

I don’t think shapeshifting into an enemy is a great idea, especially not a dead one. I’d assume shapeshifting might be used to fool other players? If that’s the case, everyone on the team can see who is dead and the announcer alerts everyone when someone has died. People can easily communicate “that’s not me” to their teammates. It’s also heavily reliant on the other team having strong Champions to copy off.

Shapeshifting raises a lot of complicated questions about what you’re copying. Just the appearance? Abilities as well? Riot is perfectly capable of achieving one of those. I can’t remember what event it was - might’ve been Black Market Brawlers it something like that, idk had something to do with Bilgewater - but there was an item that made you look like an ally. It stopped working as soon as you used an ability, however, and didn’t copy that person’s stats or anything. Just appearance. So Riot has done and probably can do something with shapeshifting.

So basically The Morgan from the Smite moba? As that is literally what she does. I wouldn't be against it and I know Riot looks at other games outside of League of Legends to get ideas for what to put in League.
