so i've decided to start taking champs from similar games and trying to analyze/guess how OP/UP they would be in LoL.

to kick this off i will be taking a look at pollywog priest from heroes (i know shameful right? :P )

so PWP is a intelligence hero (read: support/mage) who has an ungodly amount of cc and a good pushing ult.

let's take a look at his E ability first.
"Pollywog Priest holds an enemy unit with his tongue, preventing it from moving, attacking, casting spells, or using items. The Tongue cause Magic damage over time to the target enemy."
there is no better way to put it but this is malzahar's ult with less damage and longer stun time. this would make him difficult to solo in lane beecause of how much cc it provides, but it costs 110 mana at lvl 1 (out of ~600)

moving on to his q which (and i will spare you the description this time) is mord's q with double range and about 1.5x damage.

finally, we have his W which (in LoL terms) is a 1.25/2/2.75/3.5 second silence and blind with ~30% slow.
obviously this is HUGE cc and would make him a ganking GOD.

finally, we have his ult: Voodoo Wards
this places 8... things with very low health that do (the hon equivalent of) about tower damage put together and attack at about the rate of a LoL tower.
what really makes this ability powerful is that there are two items in HoN that make it drop more wards (staff of the master and restoration stone) wit hboth of them you get 22 wards instead of 8.
this gives him a controllable tower when he isnt fed and a facemelt army when he is.


FINAL CONCLUSION: OP

tell me what you think about this champ if he was in lol.

would he be UP?
would he jungle or lane?
any other thoughts etc.

you can trap ppl in his ult too

idk what the discussion about this will be, EVERYONE in HoN and DotA is OP, but that's the balance in that game...everyone is OP so it is the matter of who makes the first mistake. Any direct clone from DotA or HoN into LoL would be the most OP thing ever.

meh... i can't imagine that anyone would play kael.

also, you didn't even mention how you think his playstyle would change in LoL.

personally, i think he'd be a sick jungler.
