Well, when I mean unique, of course I don't expect something completely different and novel in every way than in any previous champs (I mean, for christ's sake, lol itself isn't the first moba), nor do I want something to step out of the range of being viable. And I'm sure rakan is fine in the view of others, but I was simply voicing my opinion about the champ, so I hope you don't think me selfish for that. In addition, I'm also sure that it would be difficult for someone to make a champ unique without tapping into some inspiration here and there. I mean, inspiration itself can be the basis to develop something unique. Uniqueness, at least in my book, can include similarities to past aspects or concepts, but it should have enough "deviation" to make the essence of it unique. Now, I understand that it would be impossible to define exactly how much "deviation" would be required to make something unique, especially considering that uniqueness can be subjective and thus different among many people, and I also understand that true, perfect uniqueness is extremely difficult to attain, since more and more "ball stuffing" (lol) has been occuring thats essentially stretching human possibility thin. However, I believe that attaining, or at least attempting to attain, a level of novelty that can satisfy the needs of most or a good amount of people (while also being within a level of viability) should be something that rito should strive for. In this case, I'm honestly not sure what the general consensus about rakan is, nor am I aware of how far in or out of "viability" he is. But, in my opinion, he hasn't really achieved the level of novelty and uniqueness (in the sense of deviation from inspiration) that I, personally, was looking for. Again, I'm sure that the deviation was enough to make him unique from the perpsective of others, and I'm also sure it's very, very difficult to maintain a rough criteria of novelty and viability that can satisfy most or a good amount of people, but my above comment was mostly made to simply express my own opinions, as well as see if there are others who share my opinions about rakan. That being said, what is your opinion about rakan? Would you say he is novel enough in your eyes?
