Ability Draft

Will there ever be something like this for league? If anyone doesn't know, ability draft is when you mix and match different moves (3 skills and an ult) out of the 10 champs picked for your own champ.

This has been brought up countless times, and no, it will never work or be implemented. Not in LoL anyways.

Way too many things don't work across champions, here is just a small sampler of them:

  • Champion-specific passives: Gnar, Sona, Udyr, Karma, etc.
  • Moves that depend on each other: Azir, Akali, Katarina, etc.
  • Moves that depend on things generated by a specific champion: Azir, Orianna, Syndra, Yorick, etc.
  • Moves that depend on a passive: Braum, Yasuo, Twitch, etc.
  • Transform abilities: Jayce, Elise, Quinn, etc.
  • Incompatible costs: Rumble, Renekton, Rengar, any of the ninjas + Lee Sin, etc.

And then there are the animations. What should Ahri in turtle stance, Gnar using distortion, or Zyra using stand-behind-me look like? There are way too many permutations, most of which don't make any sense.

Forget about this already.

Maybe make it to where you can only get 1 ability from a certain champion then can't use any of its other ability's

Or maybe it would give you a choice between 5 champions for each ability, you choose the champ you want with the corresponding ability, then it gives you a choice of 5 other random champions for the next abilities, And maybe make it draft mode so you can ban certain champs from the rotation

you guys all realize, that with ability draft, you get 20 random champs to pick abilities from, or maybe 15 you cant pick anyone, you may get good picks or not, also you would have to deny picks. etc. it would be fun, but if they dont want to do it i guess they just wont do it. i think it is a great idea though, the ability bar of all types is a good idea. or just make all ablities cost mana for the game type. i think it would be fu, granted alot of work to do. but it would make me play soo much more

I mean, everyone would just pick Lee Sin's overloaded kit anyway.

(since im sure youd be the champion with the passive u take, so resource/attack range/ETC) Passive: Katarina (Cooldowns reduced by 15 seconds on kill/assist) Q: Ahri (orb) W: Zed (mimics any spellcast/Escape) E: Fizz (Hop/Untargetable) or fiddle E (silence/AOE) R: Leblanc (Mimic an ability/Short CD)

Sure this combo would be insane honestly if anyone allowed you to get it (The E is debatable but idk what else id have chosen over it.)
