If your main could get one extra basic spell, what would you give them?

It haas to be a basic ability, not a second ult
It has to be thematic to the champ (no Magic Missile on Garen)
Ideally it adds something to their gameplay instead of just being more damage.

For example Bel’Veth gets a stacking remora spell. Every jungle monster she kills gives her one stack, up to a cap. When she casts it, she summons remoras that hit the target for a percentage of her on-hit damage.

The idea is to give her a bit of an on-hit mage vibe and reward her for farming the jungle, which I think fits the Void Empress turning everything into her lavender sea.

What would yours be? bonus points if you think about how it would actually change the way the champ plays.

So Riot decided to add random champions as new junglers in order to allow people to play the role without relearning a champion. Some were pretty successful (Ekko), others were at best a flavor of the month or completely broken (looking at you, Talon).

Personally, though, I think they should add more varied champions as jungle options, because sometimes you need something that isn't a melee assassin or a bruiser. The non-troll alternatives are either very niche (Karthus, Taliyah, and Zyra aren't for everyone) or too composition/meta-reliant (Morgana, Brand).

That said, I think some of these picks could be fun with just a little push. For example, I don't think Aurelion Sol is that far from viability in the jungle. Looking at all ranks over the last 30 days to get enough data (14,000 games), compared to Emerald+ only (4,000 games), he's sitting at a winrate close to 50%. There is a master+ that does jungle with asol and he can get a 2:45 clear. He's ganks looks fun with his w. Now allowing to have a scaling jungler that can stack out of lane sounds a bit toxic but now bel'veth is a late game champ so why not? I don't think he would need large buff either just some way to make his clear symetrical.

Overall, I think jungle lacks good AP carry options, which feels like a necessity, especially given the current, somewhat strange state of the game.

So what would be some great jungle adddition?

I used to hate her, because every time I pressed Q out of muscle memory, I was reminded of what I'd lost, but her late game is insane.

And I get it, she's a joke. No, literally she's meant to be a late-game "monster." I actually admire the dedication to the bit, Mr August.

My problem is that she feels like a parody of a champion. Her early game is so bad that I was losing fights at level 2 with red buff vs a level 1 viego that triedd to steal my camp. She can't solo a drake at level 5 which is ridiculous. So many "unwinnable" early skirmishes that any reasonable champ should win even as a late game champ. And then in the late game, unless they collapse on you 3-man, you're basically guaranteed to win.

She just feels way too extreme. Note that its prob because she isn't balanced yet.

What do you all think?

I'm currently learning Akshan, and I really like his kit except for one thing: his R is absolutely useless in 99% of cases. It gets stopped by everything teammates, jungle camps, minions, towers you name it! The channel time for a full charge is long (2.5 seconds), though it can be recast early. It’s crazy because, in-game, unless you’re 100% sure the target is perfectly isolated, it’s not going to hit. And the nail in the coffin while it launch you self stun for the duration.

The rest of his kit is so fun, though! His E is 10/10 in ability design, his W is insane, and his Q is just fun to use. It really feels like his R is the only dark spot in what could have been (in my opinion) a perfect champion.

And it got me thinking surely there is worst? What champs really has an ult that is lacking?

Edit: In a vacuum worst R in the sense Worst Button to press as an ultimate

also I suck at akshan I'm learning him to me this ability has too much counterplay.
