I played "another MOBA" recently, and despite disliking it, I did greatly enjoy a hero whome had a pet mechanic similar to many MMORPGs Ranger classes.

The general idea is that the Hero has a permanent pet that is almost always with them and is quite strong. You can even buy it items.

I would simply like to discuss if such a thing would work in LoL or if the games are too different. This could exclude the ability to give them items, because that would require unique UI elements, but the idea of having a permanent and powerful pet seems viable and new.

It would, in my opinion, work best as a Passive, with a cooldown/debuff respawn timer should it happen to die.

It should have its own abilities too that can either damage enemies or support the master of the pet.

They have problems with AI atm. Plus the ranger could bully his enemy out of lane while sitting snugly at his turret. Ranger op I guess :P

This would be too OP

imagine orianna, except her ball can equip stuff and can attack without commands

wayyy hard to play against, or UP as fk

They could, but the game engine was designed to make multi-unit control as bad as possible.

They could make the pet icon show next to the original character or the pets skillset be alt+ q/w/e, alt+ rightclick to move. Plus maybe a combination ability(like the two of them fuse together to become another character (with the 2 best ablities).
