First I'm going to start off by saying that this is merely a concept and it could be horribly flawed. I only put lich king because it fits with the design I thought up.
So this idea is a minion based concept and you may ask, what makes my concept different than all the others that have failed? (i.e. yorick is pretty binary on OP/UP as is heimerdinger.)
My answer is that I don't have a good answer, this is just a concept that I thought up that could be horribly flawed.
I'm going to put all abilities as undead themed due to the fact that the abilities seem similar to what you'd expect from a "lich king".
So without further ado, here's what I thought up:
Note: he uses all of his minions life combined for resources.

| Passive: All of the lich king's undead feel no pain and have X of his health, the same move speed as him {the move speed would have to be tested with and without it to see it's impacts with monsters like golems}, and Z of his AP as AD. And focus the target that their master is attacking(This doesn't make much sense now but you'll see why in a second, this makes it so he can actually scale from items.) |
Quote:
| Ult: [Toggle] While turned on any monsters or minions that the Lich King kills are reborn as undead he commands but he does not recieve any gold.(I will say right here, this is his main ability but it is also his greatest downfall, he has the option to get more minions, or get gold. This means he might end up being a "noob trap" as riot calls things like this. I'm just gonna make this clear, I envision his minions as following him like Elise's spiders, not roaming like Yorick's ghouls.) |
Quote:
| Possible ability 1: The Lich king deals damage distributed to all monsters in an area. (This is hard to explain in a short thing and while i could just make it a smite, i want it to work well in lane too so I'll give an example to try to explain it: Let's say it deals 100 damage{random number, not for actual balancing use} You use this ability around the giant golem at the start, the giant golem takes 33 damage while the smaller 2 monsters near it also take 33 damage. Now lets say you killed the 2 smaller monsters but are still fighting the giant golem, you use the ability and it deals 100 damage to the golem. The total damage should probably be around, or a little more than smite. This ability makes it so that the Lich King can either clear the jungle fast, or instantaneously kill a wave of minions. You'd probably want around a 15 - 30 second cooldown on this though. The reason for this though is that the Lich King is incredibly farm reliant but loses a large amount of his farm meant for gold towards items. This helps him farm but doesn't make him do extraneous amounts of damage to champions, I'd highly recommend this in his final kit.) |
Quote:
| Possible ability 2: The lich king gives ownership of an undead to and ally. All kills by this undead go to the undead's new master. (To me this ability sounds really fun to have on a team but potentially very dangerous to put in his kit. This would almost force the Lich King to be a jungler. Additionally this ability would only be useful for helping allies in their lane early on and split pushing later on. This ability could be fun, but I am hesitant to recommend it.) |
Quote:
| Possible ability 3: The Lich King drain X% of his minions total life and summons an undead with a percentage of that amount + %AP as AD, that amount as health, and [insert status effect here, probably a slow but anything else works too]. (This is a fun ability, it scales really well with the amount of minions he currently has due to it scaling with its AD and its AP based on how much health it drains from his minions. The only problem is it may seem too similar to what Yorick can do. I'd recommend this in his final kit) |
Quote:
| Possible ability 4: The Lich King unleashes one of his minions to wreak havok on an enemy. (I don't like this ability because it feels like a combination of Elise's poison spider and Yorick's ghouls. However this ability has a new twist because you are losing some of your resources and since i see no way to know which monster you'd pick quickly which means it would likely be randomized, you might lose a monster such as a golem.) |
Quote:
| Possible ability 5: The Lich King's minions gain [insert stats here, probably AS and/or Lifesteal. (This is pretty much in all kits with minions. {I guess maybe not yorick's} I felt obligated to put it in there to give him a little burst potential. It syncs well with his kit but it would need either stats that aren't very strong and short running time, or an extremely long cooldown. Therefore, it's kind of a hard ability to fit in.) |
I have to go now but when I have more time I'll add more abilities and a section on problems with this kit. In the mean time, I'd love feedback, so if you have and ability idea, tell me, if you think this is the stupidest idea on the face of the planet tell me (but tell me why too please 
), and if you love my idea tell me what you love about it. Last of all if you want to use this for anything feel free though I'd appreciate credit {And to clarify I have no idea why you'd want to use it but feel free anyway!!!
