ideas:

passive: Moral Support: Ted is supported by his fellow minions, taking 10% less damage for each nearby allied minion. [[capped at 80%]]

passive: Ted's Righeous Anger: Ted and all nearby allies deal 5 additional damage. This bonus is doubled for minions.

Toggle Aura: Protector's Zeal: Ted redirects 33% of the damage dealt to nearby minions to himself. While this ability is turned off, Ted gains additional health regeneration.

(Ultimate) active: Pile On The Pain: Ted calls a pack of his minion buddies, who latch the targeted enemy champion in place while he goes all 'Ted the Barbarian' on them. Silences and immobilizes the target until the target or their allies deal150/300/500 damage to the minions that are all piled onto the victim.

Active: Decoy: Ted releases a minion-like robot that operates like other minions until struck by a champion.When this happens, the decoy violently explodes, dealing heavy magic damage to nearby enemies.

passive: Minions who otherwise wouldn't be around are drawn to Ted's inspiring presence. Every 5 seconds, a more-dangerous-than-normal minion loyal to Ted appears and follows him around, assisting with enemies Ted targets. Maximum of 8 special forces minions. (they aren't as good as Promotes, but are better than regular minions. When killed, they grant only 1 xp and 3 gold.)

---------

I think you should go more for abilities that summon a bunch of minions to assist Ted in some way, my favorite idea is "Pile on the Pain"

I don't want to hijack this thread and I'm not much for actual numbers, so I'll just quickly glide through how I imagine him.
Q: A simple damage spell, maybe causes minions to do a small amount extra damage to chosen target.
W: Toggled between allied and enemy minion bait, causes minions to be distracted by food, short ranged "trap".
E: Follow me! Allied minion follow champion, everyone gaining movement speed and armor,
R: Creates a promoted minion that slows and rends opponent.

Looking back over it, I think he would be fun, but really depends on minions, what are any of these champions going to do when caught in river with no minions to control?
