Shared Ability [Fun Game Mode Idea]

I don't know about anyone else, but I think it could be very fun and comical to have a temporary game mode where everyone on the same team shares the same ability; whether it be the passive, Q, W, E, or R.

Image an entire team with Karthus passive, Anivia Egg, Anivia's Ice wall (W), Sion's ultimate, Nasus (Q) Siphoning Strike, Ezreal (E) Arcane Shift, etc. etc.

Besides for the shared ability, the champions and game will play out the same. With the pick/ban phase to be banning out certain abilities and then your team voting on which ability should be the shared ability [secret from the enemy team] . Then the phase will continue with champion bans and either blind pick or draft pick.

I think it could be very fun seeing Anivia with a troll pole, Caitlyn with Anivia's Wall, Zilean with anivia's passive (he will never die!), arcane shifting Ashe, riftwalking udyr, list of possibilities goes on and on!

the thing is - things can look stupid because why bother making things look good for a mode you play for what 2 weeks - having a flaming ball of kog maw running across the map will be more comical because the animation and champion dont match making the mode even more fun to play--- fun modes dont have to look good, they just need to be fun and make you laugh

Reminds me of the "League of Draven" game mode I thought of Where every champ is Draven, and every player gets a random skill pool

I'd love to see Draven do his wind up animation just to throw out a Blitz hook.

It does sound fun, but there unfortunately aren't enough animations to allow for it I fear. As every ability does need an animation, and I can't imagine most having enough for Riven's Q, or Renek's dashes, Rammus' ball-thing, etc.
