A Deaf Champion...

I was thinking about the idea for Riot, considering the fact that we have a blind champion , and a mute champion , why not the inclusion of a deaf champion? I'm sure you could make him or her have super vision or something, or maybe something involving focus, allowing increased mana regeneration due to being free from sound disruptions. The two disabled champions all have a gift from their disability, so why not add a deaf champion? Am I the only one who thinks this is a good idea?

Looks like a good idea to me. Maybe he could have a targeted vision ability that reveals a section of the map? A "seer"-style support maybe?

PS: We recently learned that Lissandra is actually blind. She "sees" through her ice magic like Toph from Avatar.

So, we should boost more champions like Lee Sin/Sona/Lissandra? Played right, they are devastating, they have already received their due in making them strong champs. If you were to create another "impaired" champion their passives would reflect their inabilities. If not, they would never make it into LoL.

While I don't particularly object, putting in a champion with every disability we can think of could very easily slide into being distasteful.

Basically, if there was a really good champion concept that made sense as a deaf person, then sure. But we definitely should not put in a deaf champion just for the sake of having a deaf champion.

Tee hee.. Okay, what.. Why do we need a deaf champion, uhm..

But if we did, and the super vision thing.. They'd SO be an ADC. Hopefully another male ADC. Varus, Lucian, Draven and Ezreal have really been the only played male ADC. ( Sorry Graves )

It's just kind of awkward.
