His 'evolutionary paths' sounds a lot more like Viktor's Hex Core to me: Irreversible
and useless
Like Viktor I wouldn't be surprised if only one path is viable.

Kha'Zix looks like the xenomorph from Alien.
I don't get why Riot, considering that LoL is the most played game in the world, doesn't try licensing some skins from other IPs. I bet they would sell a bunch!
Big Daddy Nautilus would be cool.

Because imitating the different franchises is cheaper (King Rammus).
This. People are still buying the skin knowing what it pays tribute to so win win for Riot.

heck they still imitate champs and abilities from dota allstars.
I'd like to see Riot's designers learn to make a support champ that brings utility to a team besides being either a healer or a stun bot.
That's why you get commando jarman
already have that, i made a mistake by not watching youtube video before buying since i thought the art was really good.
commando jarvan is the best 260rp skin (discounted) i ever bought.
blitzcrank and lulu.
Irelia is favored after ~9. The early game is in Riven's favor and rather dramatically. Play aggressively at 1-4 and an early kill will most likely win you the lane. If the lane goes relatively even, Irelia will outscale you
One of my favorite matchups right now, though that's from the Riven perspective.
Basically what my opinion on him was when he released. The mana cost change to his E is most likely necessary but he's manageable in lane. Contrary to what people seem to think, he's weak to pressure.
Usually. E is better for most hard trade situations (basically any of the bruisers or good duelists). Honestly, after more time with him, I think I'd rather just go E first most of the time. Hammer QE harass is basically free damage and without pushing your lane nearly as much. Swap, QE, auto, disengage, rinse, repeat.

I'm curious, what would a non-healing or stunbot support be? More shields? A buffbot? And those are exactly what you'd expect from the support holy trinity (Healing/Prevention, CC, Buffs/Debuffs) anyway. Legitimately curious as to what a "unique" support would be.
Perhaps a different execution of the support holy trinity but, at the end of the day, it'll still be a sustainbot, stunbot, or buffbot. That said, I would like to see an offensive debuffer of some kind for a new support.

Supports in League of Legends kind of suck. My major gripe with the game.
But it's okay because I'm FIRED UP AND READY TO SERVE

only because its bugged matchup, if it would have been in riven favored but not dominant like it is right now because of a bug.Irelia is favored after ~9.

One of my favorite matchups right now, though that's from the Riven perspective.
Glimpse seems intriguing (defensively, a knockback; offensively, a pull) but the kit is basically pseudo-CC and a disable. Not to say it isn't a non-stunbot/heal/buffbot, but it also doesn't seem that "different" y'know? But a 5s area silence is goddamn. Fiddle ult with his silence ohgod.
Honestly, I kind of wish Syndra was given a more utility based ult. She'd be an interesting offensive support then. Zone control with her orbs, area of effect slow, a knockback (with the possibility of a stun), ... and then a damage ult. She can early ult to set up an area of effect stun, I guess, for team fights though. Hm.
Of course, there's already people playing her as support so maybe it'll stick anyway.
Being able to Q out of Irelia stun helps, sure, but Riven just has a strong early game. QW start is a lot of pressure by Level 2 and EW is super safe harass at 3 and beyond. Better mobility and just high damage output. If this gets fixed, Irelia would still lose every low level trade.
That said, Broken Wings has a lot of quirky bugs with it with CCs in general. Be it the probably-as-intended ones (getting CCd during Q doesn't stop the momentum) or the unintended ones (using it during hard CCs sometimes lets it go through). It also occasionally still tries to move towards enemies rather than your cursor, which is rather annoying when you're trying to escape with it.
Think:
Passive: Stuns and deals magic damage to the enemy champion who deals the killing blow for 1 second. Damage: (50/100/150) Levels with ulti.
I've loved this idea and can't believe something like it hasn't been implemented in the game yet. You get punished for hitting someone.
Warden's mail is the only thing that comes close but its all RNG there.
Q: Anivia wall - Doesn't grow in size but the duration of it staying on the field increases with ranks.
W: Silence+grievous wound - Deny pots all day
E: Cripple target making them take x0.5/1.0/1.5 damage from auto attacks for 4 seconds and slowing them for 1 second.
R: Single target true damage nuke (100/150/250) - no scaling + 15/30/60 armour+mr shred giving nearby allies half of the shredded armour+mr
I see this champion as a bulky, short plant type of thing. The Q will have vines growing from the ground, W will be a vine whip with the guy shouting silence, etc...
No ap scaling on anything so it doesn't become another lulu.
Maybe a support that gives stealth to themselves and an ally, or all allies within a certain range. Basically a walking bush for your team.
Or a scouting support, that builds like tiny stealth robot versions of themselves and sets them lose in theirs or the enemy's jungle providing vision. Little things would just walk around till destroyed or after like 5-minutes. So basically a mobile ward.
Also maybe a champ that has an instant teleport to base skill. Use on ally and it teleports them out of harms way to your fountain. Used on an enemy and it sends them back to their fountain, taking them out of the fight.
Those are just off the top of my head that I think would be interesting support skills for champs.

The answer to both your questions is Teemo. Speed buff+slowing wards(shrooms) for scouting purposes, invisibility, blind, poison harrass.
I'm not saying he's a good support or anything but he's viable as a support at certain elo ranges I would say(at least in my ELO)
Haha, I actually had a similar passive in mind; something that is practically useless in a solo lane but can punish in bot lane/team fights if they're focused first.
Like, I'd like to see a support with a QW that debuffs the target and returns a self-buff. An E that lets them mark who gets that self-buff. Ultimate makes them go full area of effect (including the on-death passive). It's a boring play in theory, though, as it's just harass and, essentially, (de)buffbot but just surprised we lack a debuff Sona, basically.
She can (Power Chord W, E) but I meant a champion that debuffs primarily. Sona just came to mind as the closest to a buffbot for the comparison.

Nunu+Kog the League dream team for bot lane.
nunu ezrael double debuff bro.
I think I've gotten to the point where dragon times just come naturally to me. I don't even know what minute it spawns or how long it takes to respawn, but I almost always think "hey we should check dragon" and in that exact second it respawns.
It's my "superpower", I can also take a bus, go to sleep and wake up at my stop for some reason.

I have wraiths fairly well timed in my head after getting back to a few games of playing mid. I'm sorry junglers, I'm stealing them every goddamn time
unless you tell me not to

5s vs 0.5s is a fairly big difference, however :x

The power just went out here.. right after we went into the load screen. A second earlier and it would have dodged. Anyway, sorry Nutty and the other people.
Anti-fun.
Sometimes I like to check my email and see that I had an extra 4000 RP.
This never happens.

Hotfix patch preview
"We want Vlad to be a late game carry
... so we're nerfing his damage in later levels"
Significant buffs for MF and Cait.
Rengar W AP ratio nerfed but it also comes with a crap load of buffs.

I spent some time thinking about this after my post last night and the answer is, I'm not sure.
After dropping 500 hours into DotA2 I feel like supports in that game often bring more to the table than in LoL, but it comes down to a bunch of differences in design.
In DotA2 some of the best jungle heroes are supports, and they tend to bring one of pushing, ganking, or initiation power to a team. That isn't to say there aren't baby sitter supports too.
I guess with things like creep pulling, and smoke ganks, I feel like there is more I can do at times in DotA2 as a support then simply babysitting and warding.
One thing I was thinking about, I wonder if Heimerdinger could be retooled so his turrets worked more like Venomancers plague wards, could be too OP.
I think overall I'm just tired of the stagnant meta of LoL.
I've been trying to think which DotA2 heroes would be most broken in LoL. Chaos Knight would probably be one of the most "Anti-Fun" heroes possible. Tide Hunter's Ravage would be pretty crazy too.
