User blog comment:Pf987/A new champ concept I'm working on, based around minions. Is it good? WIP NAME/@comment-26815373-20151216053943

That passive seems eerily familiar...

Alt-Clicking and/or 'reactivating to move' is something Riot should explore more, given their current control scheme and limitations...You say control them like a 'hive-mind' but it seems you really mean 'battalion'. He's there little commander. He might even BE a minion, right? Well, of course, he is. He's Charles, THE Minion Leader. Our hero.

Personally, I think you're going at it from the wrong angle. You can think up abilities and functions all day, but the question isn't, "what *should* a 'minion-mancer' do?" but rather: Who *should* THE 'Minion-Mancer' be?

What words come to mind when you think of minions? What do you know about them from the lore? Who, of all the heroes and entities occupying our world of Runeterra, would have something to do with the minions? What are they? Where do they come from? What's their story? What flavor of magic best emphasises what is possible with (a very loosely defined) control 'over' (of?) minions? Lightning Bolts?

You see what I'm getting at? Think of the Black Market Brawlers, or even the jungle monsters. The potential is there, certainly, but the question remains, who is he?

As for me, I imagine a sculpter, or crafter, of some kind, perhaps one who was responsible for the creation of the nexus and the towers, maybe even Summoner's Rift. A yordle perhaps? And the 'minions' where homunculi. His homunculi. Creatures of magic. Maybe he could alter them, changing their form. Could he play with towers in some way? What would his basic attack animation be? Does he use a weapon? Oddly, the image of Epic Mickey with the paintbrush in hand comes to mind. The words 'Magnum Opus' are written there some where.

Keep thinking on it. I will be.
