5 Crazy Hero Ideas From Other MOBAs That League Should Copy
By Simon Lee
There are a number of MOBA games out there and each game has to be different from the other to stand out. With League of Legends being the most popular with Dota 2 following right behind, some wonder what if a form of a character in Smite, or Heroes of the Storm, or even Dota 2 was in League of Legends, how interested would that be?
Here are five hero ideas that would be pretty crazy to see in League of Legends.
5. Nieth - Smite
Neith from Smite has an interesting interaction with dead enemies, they leave someone thing called "weave" that grants her abilities bonus damage or crowd control. The only champion in League that interacts with corpses is Yorick, who summons a total of three ghouls to attack the enemy champion. Weave is an interesting mechanic for champions that are rewarded for killing their enemy.
4. Sylvanas - Dota 2
Sylvanas is on the list solely because of her mind control ultimate ability. League has no champion in the game that process this kind of power, so it would be an interesting addition for someone to have the ability to control the enemies champion.
Slyvanas has to channel the ability and can be interrupted to balance it out. If you're hiding in a brush or try to mind control someone over a wall, who knows what you'll be able to do.
3. Genji - Heroes of the Storm
Genji, originally from Overwatch, is on the list not because of Genji, but the idea of him. Putting a character from a totally different game is something many fans would be interested in. It's like Noctis being part of the Tekken 7 roster. Also his reflect ability has the potential to deflect a tower shot to his enemies is super awesome, being rewarded to tower dive is pretty ridiculous.
2. Cho'Gall - Heroes of the Storm
Cho'Gall is originally from World of Warcraft but was implemented into Blizzard's MOBA game Heroes of the Storm. The catch about Cho'Gall is that he is controlled by two players. Both players will have their own separate abilities in the kit, while only one player is in control of movement. It would be interesting to see how this would be implemented in League, a lot of flaming, but the highlight reels are worth it.
1. Invoker - Dota 2
Invoker is what every mage player dreams of. He has a wide variety of spells that he can use for different situations he may be in. Invoker has four abilities that can be used to create a total of 10 spells. Using spells in a number of combinations will result in a new effect. Imagine a mage in League with the ability to add CC, damage, or utility for his team at any point of the fight.
