Finishing up the Darkin

Mors Certa·Jun 4, 2016·2 votes·464 views

I love the idea of the Darkin, the ancient, legendary race which surpasses mortal boundaries. What I don't like is that Riot gave us this little presumptuous inclusion in Aatrox's lore that there are in fact 5 remaining Darkin, and that poses to the league community that they will make a full team of Darkin. One per role. I feel like I'm not the only one that feels this way. Aatrox was released 6/13/2013. It's been 3 years and still no signs of any other Darkin. I would just like a little feed back from Riot to know if we're ever going to get them, or if it's just a terrible lore inclusion that leaves us to our assumptions.

Also as a side note, since Aatrox is in need of some form of rework, despite that fact that I kind of enjoy his kit, I feel like they should also include and ability pertaining to his lore. About how he can inspire warriors solely by his presence to fight even in disadvantageous situations.

They should all use HP as their Energy. That would be a cool theme, just like Aatrox does.

But Aatrox is a bit funny. He can build Full Tank and you can rely on your Q Sustain instead of Damage (Sunfire ticking away)... he can build Full Damage and basically be a Kha Zix Dive and Delete... he can build Bruiser/Fighter... he has a lot of Options. I wouldn't say Old Shen variety, but close.

So with Aatrox filling so many different things that he COULD do... what WOULD the other 4 Darkin be?

Let's call Aatrox a 'Pure Top' despite knowing he can Jungle. Let's think of HP Resource of the Core Theme. So a Mid, Jungle, Support and Marksman.

Would the Mid be a Mage, or an Assassin? We already have a Blood Mage, so likely an Assassin (but then Aatrox can sort of do that). What kind of Support? A Tank Engage, or a Poke? Same for the Jungle.

Have some fun, create your own Darkin Team... who knows, some random Rioter might get inspired and make this thing happen. :P :D
