When are we going to see more Darkin?
I know Riot does this on purpose but in Aatrox's back story it says he is one of the last 5 Darkin. Would love to see a supp or ADC that uses health as a resource

I was actually really heavily invested in fleshing out the world of The Darkin; I wanted them to be a matriarchy where the women were in control and the men were sent off to war to conquer,often dying in the process. The women were more like succubi, with magnificent wings and flowing locks of hair, while the men's wings are forcefully clipped and atrophied because the women didn't want the men to fly, regulating them to the ground troops. Men in the army use their pathetic wings like battle standards(just like Aatrox) wear armor, and when they slay somebody, they would graft the armor of their enemies to them(hence Aatrox's gauntlet, helmet, and grieves). Really simple stuff, but I think the framing like that would be perfect for establishing what we can see down the pipeline; An airborne Darkin witch slinging spells, a pacifistic worker-class Darkin male support, things like that that focus on parallels and making interesting character setups.
My guess is that their will be a top lane, Aatrox, a Midline, a Jungle, ADC and Support darkin. If their are more then 2 in a team they will have a hidden passive and a series of different quotes. Maybe something like the Vi Caitlyn and Jinx mission. where an assist or kill is worth an extra one gold. That's my opinion.
I'm pretty sure Jax is a Darkin. It just makes sense. Hoping to see something related to that in the future.
I love that they use lore to foreshadow other champ releases. I want to see Kassadin's daughter!
nope that is not good idea for adc to use health as their source cuz originally adc already squishy :((
Rito, give us a full Darkin team that uses health, but an ADC that uses health!? that would be AWESOME
An adc with health as a cost?, though ADC's are traditionally squishy.... I don't like the idea of being a Squishy champ that can't even put out real damage without sacrificing my health needlessly. Same goes for support. Being a tank is sacrificing enough health as it is. I would love to see another Melee champ with this ability though. It really seems like the only role that could be filled without needing to buff a champ to use their own health as a cost.
Creating and ADC that uses health as a cost to cast, would be tricky. How do they use their health without being a massive power house? If we give them too much health they will be almost unkillable, if we lower the health costs then they will be unstoppable with lifesteal. i just don't know :(
My idea of a darkin ADC. Its "W" would function similar to 
's. the darkin ADC's "W" would increase the damage out put by percent at the cost of 25 persent of the total damage in health. The second function would be a 10 present life steal that triples upon falling below 50 present health. Due to this that champion could kill its self in battle, if health goes unchecked, as a result a high skill cap.
uses health as a resource too.
@ JonouchiChan - I like your idea for the Darkin, but I'm not sure it wold work for league lore. I kinda have an idea for a support that would work well as either a Darkin, or maybe a Yordle(but we all know how much Riot loves yordles haha). I could also definitely see some of the Darkin having had a hand in some of the history of LoL, with Aatrox having appeared on various war fronts and having a direct history with Tryndamere.
I think a big problem with that would be sustain. sustain in the bot lane is extremely important and the adc with no resource to sustain with would be OP. They could use their abilities on cooldown with a sona or alistar or anyone really and completely overwhelm the poor enemy adc with constant poke.
