Viktor suggestion as Lightning/Creator

'Creator' would be a unique class like Singed's Alchemist which grants one allied champion in a hex around him the Steel Origin at the start of the game (aka Viktor turning them into Battlecast version of themselves). This would solve the Lightning/Steel deficiency, which makes both of those Origins somewhat underwhelming if you don't have Lux.

Alternatively, it could be named 'Machinist' to get the steel flavor in there in case someone wonders why he doesn't also have the steel origin (which might be OP).

I'm not sure what he could do ability-wise. Any of his spells could be good while somehow making them work with Critical Strikes, following the theme of Lightning champions. E.g. He could shoot his lazer in a 2 hex line and it can 'crit' to hit again as if he had the Augment: Aftershock.

If he stands alone without anyone around him (like Yasuo in the last set), he could grant himself the Steel Origin.

Hey that's actually a really cool idea, are you a game designer or something?

I wouldn't know either what would be a cool ability, since he has the augment system in SR, maybe it's possible to do something similar with him as they did with Jinx?

Honestly I think this is a really smart suggestion. Lighting is kind of insane with Zed, but given the prevalence of Mystic one more of it might be balanceable. Steel on the other hand is one of the best counters to the really broken comps of this set, but the only unit that uses it well is Nocturne who even at 3 star can fall off. Lux can use it pretty well but unlike Nocturne she doesn't have sustain.

Having the ability to make an artificial Steel unit would allow for a lot of strategies. This might potentially be broken given its an adjacent hex unit, so it might be better as pure random like Mountain since you could abuse the best hypercarries + steel to make an Exodia. But conceptually I don't think its a bad idea, could help balance things out even.
