Playing as a defender

Antsiou

How would the game be if we could play as a defender?
I mean actually playing, not placing a defender like in AW or BG.
Let’s say Kabam figures a way to deal with the controls, wouldn’t it be interesting to actively use all of those champions with specific defensive abilities ?

You mean actual pvp? Imagine people holding block in corners the whole fight

I think OP means as the defender but not specifically pvp

No. It would be sitting and waiting for someone to reach an SP3. There would be no baiting. There would be no intercepting because both sides wouldn’t want to risk getting hit. This game as it is, is in no way meant to be an actual live PvP game at all.

I never meant a pvp. I mean, you take a champ that has specific defensive abilities, like Wong where the mandalas switches every 8 seconds. This only happens as a defender. Now it would be interesting to see how those specific champs would work when we actually have control. Maybe a dedicated game mode, like reverse quest where you choose a team of defender and see how many attackers you can defeat.

it would be fun to have a game mode where we control the champion on the right side of the screen, just like a defender, with defender skills. I definitely wouldn't want this to be part of the game, but I would love to have this experience at an event one day.

That just sounds like attacking with few extra steps.
