Why is there no Champion with a "Stand"?

Stand

What do I mean? Refer to the above from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

#ITT: Spirit Guard Udyr doesn't count.

Well, by the definition given, spirit guard udyr fits. Sorry.

Unfortunately, SG Udyr is only a skin. Comic doesn't change that.

Annie fights on her own though. A stand is like pokemon or digimon.

The absolute closest we have are Kindred and SGU. Kindred has a secondary that fights but she also fights herself so she's not exactly there. SGU has spirits that appear when he changes stance but again, he's the one fighting, not them. Having a Stand champion would mean having the character themselves do literally nothing apart from potter about while their Stand leapt out and did all the work. Kinda cool in concept but I don't think it'd work too well.

That's if you go specifically by the JJBA mechanics. Surely they'd be modified for a League Champion.

jayce, nidalee, elise etc.

Not the same thing.

Jayce uses a stance, Nidalee and Elise utilize transformations.

Between those three it is sure, but OP isn't talking about swapping to different abilities, he's talking about a champion that has a sort of....guardian character with him that amplifies existing abilities. I guess you could argue Kindred for this, but it's not quite right either.

Stands are varied and unique.

Take for instance, the Stand, Anubis, that is nothing more than a sword that possesses and controls whoever draws it from its scabbard. It additionally has the power to remain in its scabbard until it decides to be drawn. Anubis' original Stand user died centuries ago, but it remains, making it separate from other Stands in that regard. Anubis also breaks the rule that a Stand can only be destroyed by other Stands because of its constant solid state. Anubis met its end by being cast into the Nile River where it presumably rusted beyond use.
