User blog comment:R E W S/The Best champion in the League of Legends:Arcturus, The Stellar Morpher (FINISHED)/@comment-60764-20121206004928/@comment-60764-20121206215412

I say "Less straightforward" for a reason.

Invoker isn't as hard as people like to believe (as he has a sort of "flow" about him mechanic-wise that differs from other characters, a bit like carry Renekton. But that isn't what I'm talking about), nor is he as complex (I </3 that "Burden of Knowledge" bullshit. Should write about it.). He IS thematically driven and his entire kit works off of such, being an ancient mage capable of casting many (or any) spell with just a simple incantation. All his spells still being very mage-like in nature even if they tend to do or reward other playstyles (Ghostwalk, for example), and he himself can fufill any role whilst still being an Invoker!Mage.

Arcturus here? Not so much. For one thing his basic kit needs a bit of rebalancing while, in itself, isn't so bad for an auto attack heavy character (I can even forgive the 'wisps' just being Invoker's Incantments as they seem more Active instead of choose-your-own passive stat bonuses. Provides a small bit of flavor). Once Morph comes into play any semblance of theme, playstyle, or anything is thrown out the window as he transforms, entirely, into a whole 'nother character without any need to un-transform at times. Which is is terrible in itself. There's no flow, there's no theme, there's nothing except Ditto, the League of Legends Champion that changes into other champions (and heroes!) with little to no repercussion.

This is a Mary Sue in champion form. And not a good one we would like, such as Invoker or Jax.

And hurray, just before I submit my own Mary Sue...
