We Need More Female Champions?

Vendra·5/22/2014, 6:00:22 AM·5 votes·1,083 views

So I had a good look at the champion list earlier and noticed that we could perhaps use some more girls out there on the fields of justice. Now don't get me wrong, as a girl myself, I am in no way suggesing that any sexism is involved.

I've had a thought about possible character ideas, but I believe it would be cool if there was a female void-derived champ, considering they've all been male so far. Snowballing on that, I'd love to see more champs from the Shadow Isles. As a Thresh main, I'm no stranger to how fond the warden was of torturing his prisoners, both in life and death; as a result, a friend of mine and I came up with an idea.

What if one of Thresh's victims were also salvaged from death and brought back to live an unlife, as either an ally or enemy to Thresh? I say ally, considering Lucian is already rivaled with the warden, and there's not much mention of any of the other SI dwellers giving him any justice. If you wanna think crazy (he loves crazy though), it could even be Senna.

Just really basic thoughts here. Would love to hear thoughts about this or your own ideas. Hope to see you on the rift!

Well, I kinda agree. And I think what you want to say is a female creature/monster, because we lack of them. We got so many male creatures like Rengar, Thresh, Mordekaiser, ecetera - but a female creature is really rare.

Well.. Senna's going be hard, because Thresh imprisoned her inside of his lantern and since then is the primary target of Lucian. Lorewise it could split Lucian's personality or meaning of life when Senna becomes freed, but used as a slave. Of course Lucian would try to purify her by killing her and giving peace to her soul - but what about Thresh? Thresh becomes interesting for Lucian because he imprisoned Senna in his lantern, that's why Lucian tries to punish him and free Senna - but revenge only or for the benefit of killing another dark creature in this world, would make their relationship nothing mere than a revenge story, of which the most other Champion relation bases off - Graves VS TF, Kayle VS Morgana, Yasuo VS Riven, Warwick VS Soraka, Viktor VS Jayce, Ionia VS Noxus, Kassadin VS Malzahar, ecetera.

I think that Thresh and Lucian's relationship is more than just a revenge - Lucian's heart is bound to Senna, she's the only anchor that keeps him a human being who still tries to purify the world. If she's released, Thresh and Lucian doesn't have this relationship anymore, as its then just a revenge story and not a rescue story.

However... I've made once a normal girl who possessed a halberd where a void champion is sealed inside which gives her the power to transform into a beautiful void creature. I've had in mind to remake her, as her abilities were pretty... outdated. I might post the rework soon.

I think the overall female/male balance is not bad at the moment, but I'll never turn down more female champs.

IMO, I'd like to see a new yordle (possibly female?), as the last one was Lulu and I'm not even sure she's a yordle.

More shadow Isles champs are a must (I do have 2 concepts in the works), and although I'm not a big fan of void champs, I agree that there should be a female void champ to balance out all of the males.

I think it'd be interesting to see characters that were out of shape. Not comically so, but like genuinely out of shape.

Can you even imagine an overweight female vampire with a steampunk outfit? How cool would that be?! GRAGAS' LONG LOST COUSIN!1!!1!

In all honesty, I think it's great that League has a lot of female champions, but the creature thing is an odd line to tread. Given that they are creatures, some of them could be considered gender neutral. Not saying they are, but in instances it could be a matter of perception (a la Steve from Minecraft).

That being said, having creatures that would be recognizably female, at least primarily so, would be awesome to see.
