In the future, can we get a new "edgy" support?

This might be a really weird suggestion but hear me out:

So riot just announced the new character Kayn who, despite being a edgy looking teen, has a really cool look and feel to him. Which makes me sad because i will likely never play him because i enjoy the support role the most.

But i cant help but feel a bit dissapointed every time i look at the support line-up when it comes to "cool" or "badass" characters.

The only real "cool" or "edgy" characters we have are Thresh TahmKenchBlitzcrank . All the other supports are goody-goody two shoes who want everyone to get along or are just blissfully unaware of all the evil in the world. Braum Janna Ivern Lulu Nami Rakan Soraka Sona Taric Bard Leona

And i do understand why there are so many "nice" characters since its a role where you need to assist your team but its still a bit annoying when every support they release seem to have copy-paste personalities. Heck, i was super excited for rakan because he seemed so much like lee sin but when i first heard his VO i remember cringing so hard that i avoided playing him for a couple of weeks after his release. I did end up playing eventually but i still really hate his VO, hes essentially tahm kench but without the charm.

I really just wish we would get some evil characters in the support lane with some edgy VO's and personalities as silly as this may seem. And no, im not counting Brand Lux Karma Morgana Sion Trundle Velkoz Zyra as being support characters.

Although i do make some exceptions for Karma Morgana Zyra because they do actually have some abilities that benefit the team.

TLDR: Getting a bit sick of these super nice and charming support characters, i wish we could get some cool or edgy ones in the future.

IMHO, I'm tired of the anime/edgy teen champs. They need to come up with a new design theory.

Tbh Thresh is probably one of the edgiest champions in the game. I think the problem with edgy characters is that edginess is always associated with blood and violence, which is the opposite of what support is. I still think that Thresh's theme doesn't really fit his gameplay, even if his gameplay is really good. That being said, ever support being a goody-two shoes has to be tiring. I've seen people talk a lot about a Noxian drill Sargent character and that sounds really cool and a change of pace for the role of good two-shoes.
