Investing in NPCs - An Alliance War Idea

Currently in my alliance, we have extremely active arena players who do not participate in war, but they continue to donate. Getting full participation in war requires 8 of your best champions, which for low rated players in high rated alliances is hard. I have come up with an idea that could make alliance war great.

Officers and Leaders are able to invest in Symbioides, Ultron Drones, and Adaptoids to place on nodes in defense. These will remain as non playable characters as they always have been, and will be purchased through the alliance treasury. Mini Bosses and Bosses that players will be able to buy will be other non playable characters that are more recognizable (Cyverine, Darren across, etc). If these NPC get a kill while on defense, the rewards for that kill will either go towards the alliance/war score, or will be evenly distributed to the battle group it was placed in.

There will be a difference between the NPCs (other than the bosses and mini bosses). Ultron Drones, Adaptoids, and Symbiods will have their own pros and cons listed below. The 3 available NPCs have different specialties, Attack, Defense, and Utility.

ADAPTOIDS
  • This NPC is a more attack based defender

ULTRON DRONES
  • This NPC is a more defense based defender

SYMBIOIDES
  • This NPC is a more utility based defender

This change will require a stronger communication in alliances. All of the NPC cost the same amount, but it is recommended to choose the right ones or the ones you need for war. For example, If you have 4 players who have champions with high armor and high health that are placed in defense, invest in either utility NPCs or attack NPCs.

IMPORTANT:

Nodes heavily influence the NPCs. Defenders will be better at standing their ground, Attackers will be better at fast battles and taking down teams, and Utility NPCs will be good for both attacking and defending, for example lesser armor and lesser bleed, but are used simultaneously with utility NPCs.

If you would like to see this implemented please critique me and send feedback.

    I think this is a pretty cool idea. Only thing that would need to be clarified would be whether or the NPC's would count as a defender. I personally don't think they should, seeing as how you could only have 5 people place in a BG and then just buy the remaining 25 champions (NPC's) needed to fill those available nodes. This would be really helpful in an alliance when running 3 BG's in war and only 29 people place their champs, as it would allow to fill the void left by the last member who couldn't join (for whatever reason)
