So does anyone else want a latino champ?

I was going over all the champs and i saw a lot of people of color but didn't see any of my people (Latino). I see skins showing our culture but they feel like a joke. No hate i just like the idea of seeing a Latino champ. let me know what the rest of you think maybe I'm just tripping. -Kiba

Qiyana is from the equivalent of south america in her lore, so she's Latina. She's confirmed as such in her true damage bio.

It seems like it'd be hard to have someone from latin america as a champ considering there is no latin america in game.

Qiyana and Nidalee seem close to what you are looking for.

I don't see any of my people either. Where are the loud, hand-gesturing people of Italian descent? I WANT JUSTICE!

I'm all in favor of a variety of races and cultures which reflects the diversity of the real world, but Latino/Latinx identity refers so specifically to real world culture and heritage that I'm not sure how it would be clearly represented in a fantasy world without crossing over into what some people might consider to be offensive stereotypes. I'm curious, though, what kinds of things would you want to see, that champions like Qiyana haven't delivered yet?

What region would you see as being an analogue? That sort of cultural influence tends to be reserved for skins, as it does not fit very well in the primary lore.
