Idea: Making nobles a more viable plan to aim for without making them too broken
Right now, nobles aren't a viable comp to aim for because the chance of finding a Kayle and a Leona while still holding on to all the other nobles is pretty low unless you go into the game thinking "I want to have a 50% chance of building nobles", which I frankly do as I've been a Nobles main before they became meta.
But as a nobles player who has also played against nobles, I think one of the main issues with playing them is the fact that they are not reliable, and the main issue with playing against them is feeling like nothing except voids/true damage really counters them.
I'm thinking that they could be reworked to the way they were before, with the Armor but not the MR. Instead, a 7th or even 8th noble could be added to make it slightly easier to get 6 nobles.
Nobles:
2 - One random member of the team gains +30 Armor 4 - The front line (aka on the 3rd row of hexes) gains +40 armor 6 - Entire team gains +60 armor
New nobles:
Xin Zhao (3 cost) Noble Imperial HP 750/1150/2000 Starting Mana 20/50 Xin Zhao slashes in a crescent in front of him, knocking all enemies except the enemy that he is currently fighting back 400 units. Xin Zhao becomes immune to damage from units more than 250 units away from him for 3/4/5 seconds and gains a permanently stacking 25/40/50% atk speed every time he casts his ultimate.
Pantheon (5 cost) Noble Knight HP 800/1300/2100 Starting mana 0/100 Passive: After 4/3/2 autoattacks, Pantheon blocks damage for 0.5 seconds. Active: Pantheon channels for 2 seconds before leaping in to the air and dropping on top of the highest DPS enemy champion, dealing 300/600/800 damage to nearby champions. His autoattack will resume against the highest DPS enemy champion.
6 nobles on their own won't be as strong, but with the addition of Xin Zhao, noble/imperial takes up less team space which makes Draven/noble comps better, while Pantheon makes noble/knight easier to achieve.
Edit: More noble ideas
Master Yi (1 cost) Noble Blademaster HP 600/1000/1800 No mana Passive: Meditate - automatically heal 5/10/15% HP per second
Lux (2 cost) Noble Sorceror Starting mana 70/100 Fires a beam of light in a straight line, dealing 100/200/400 damage to all enemies hit and rooting them for 1/1.5/2s
