@Riot: Friends, Allies, Rivals and Nemesis

Gameplay & Story Nemesis (Suggestion)

When updating lore you're also going to be making old and new connections between champions, right? Good if you are. The reason why is simply because of this game feature: The Hunt Is On!

Rengar and Kha'Zix have a unique interaction. They are rivals but to me one is the nemesis of the other (doesn't have to be mutual). Expand on this cool in-game event onto other champions with updated narrative heading our way. It'll be great and is way overdue!

If one of the champions has a Nemesis does not mean they must equally both be Nemesis.

(Only need one of the two is a Nemesis. Not both)

Where one champion's information states their Nemeses (if not Rival) basically prompts of possibility for in-game challenge like Rengar & Kha'Zix.

So who doesn't want more champ vs. champ events? I wonder who Kindred's Nemesis may be? Mordekaiser? :D

The problem with this is that in events like these,it can be easier for one champ to win the event than for the other one.

Take Warwick & Soraka for example. If they'd need the kill then WW has the advantage,because sorakas kill potential is usually not that great,but if they only need to score a support,then Soraka has an advantage(because she can support from the other side of the map).

I guess having these events have only minimal effect or even only a cosmetic effect is actually the best option for champs with different roles(champs who have the same role could actually get a more meaningful event like Kha'zix and Rengar)

Story could change. Champions do change. These events can also change.

It's really just to immerse the player into the rivalry as part of the character's story and not necessarily a generic kill-and-win event. The events would be adapted to offer competitive play:

  • for Warwick and Soraka it could be Soraka has to not die to Warwick (kill or assist) for the a remaining duration. Example for an event pre-requisite trigger is if Soraka is not dying easy at mid-game or late-game.
  • for Jarvan IV he'd kill (or assist-kill) Sion three times as per generation of Jarvan kings. After 30 mins game. Sion can immediately deduct those J4 quest-kills after his death (Passive ability). Most points wins.

You know Soraka not getting killed by WW is a rather insane condition,especially because Soraka hurts herself to heal her allies,meaning that she is putting herself into great danger and makes herself a valuable target. Also it would make the quest pretty much redundant for Soraka,because she can't get anything out of it(because she'd only win when the game is already over),while WW would be able to win the quest before the game ends.

I understand that there can be more ways to make these quests,but it is hard to balance them out.

I assume this is not talked about very much. Thought I'd bring it up again. :p
