We have a frost phoenix, a star dragon, a living rock, a giant crocodile, a pure energy being, bird ppl, a bear, wolf&lamb and many others. Diverse enough I think.
(Also you put asians with caucasians and hispanic with black/asians, quite ignorant for some1 who wants to talk about diversity).
Prime example of what is wrong with people these days. Can't just enjoy a semi fun game and have to complain about something insignificant and complain poorly about it on top of that.
I pity your friend for his leap from champs if that was an honest event. I'm glad I do not care that a character in a game has my skin tone or that it has any effect on my enjoyment.
Karma is black FYI. Morgana ain't human but perfection in an angel form. Shit post or serious put a little more effort next time.
Runeterra does not have the same races as Earth.
Ari, Rakan, Swain, and Xayah are Vastayan. Braum and Sejauni are from the frejlord. There are Noxians whom Ezreal hates. Goddesses such as Janna. Aspects like Taric, Leona, and Diana.
On the second list.... Ekko is an orphan who runs a gang. Not exactly a good example. Illaoi is a prophet. Nidalee is a cat. Nasus is a demigod. Ornn is a demigod.
Finally Urgot is a Noxian who was sent to a prison camp when Swain took over and went crazy with pain and embedded mining equipment into his body.
Long story short they are racially diverse.
You know what, no... nope... this is a shit post and nothing more.
Okay you want diversity, but what's the point of having diversity, why does it matter?
I don't see what race has to do with anything relating to the game. Just because Lucian is black doesn't mean he's inherently weaker than Lux.
I demand a lesbian character

Also, Lee Sin is clearly asian.
- Purple
- Purple
- Red
Are you serious?
If the first batch is supposed to be Caucasians I don't think it's right, given all of the Ionians in the game (Lee, Yi, Yasuo, Karma, Irelia etc) do look as Asian as they go. Other problems also exists in the OP categorisation too, I don't think it was well laid out.
In terms of League's portrayal of other major ethnics in our world, only the African people and Indian people are truly missing given that we only have 2 blacks who don't have anything to do with African culture (which is k, but at least 1 character that utilises the African theme would be nice; we do have Shurima which is a mixed bag of Middle Eastern and Ancient Egypt theme tho but it's a bit blurry there somewhat) and 1 Indian.
Then again, do keep in mind that League is under no obligation to use this world's ethnics as a design model, given it's a fantasy land. It could be nice, and for the interest of tapping into more interesting and less utilised themes they probably wound end up using more ethnics anyway, but it's not strictly required. Just to put this out.
Pretty racist to assume all those people are the same race... Also skin color doesn’t mean that they aren’t a diffrent race... Also fiora is French... Also ahri is Vastaya.
Taliyah has a distinctive Indian appearance. Gragas, olaf, and braum also lean more toward Germany/Norway/Sweden areas. I believe karma is black. Some champs can arguably be considered Russian. I wouldn't include Morgana, Camille, Corki, Leblanc, Gangplank, etc on your list of "white" & "asian" people. The reason your opinion is getting blasted by everyone right now is because you're coming across as very ignorant & biased in your post comparison, on a tiresome topic. League is very diverse, with human champs inspired by Caucasians, Europeans, Russians, Asians (including areas in Africa, the Middle East, Japan, etc), and possibly much more I dont even realize at the moment. All you actually seem to want is more black & Hispanic champs. So I suggest you edit your post accordingly.
By diversity, do you mean "color of the skin"?
If that's the case, why not ask for another homosexual character beside Taric?
The game seems pretty diversified to me.
Hey everyone! I see we're having a good ol' conversation about character design!
However, because this thread is more about the design of the actual character such as their ethnicity / race instead of actual game play mechanics, I'd like to re-direct you all to Story, Art & Sound. I'll be locking the thread here for the above reason and hope you can all continue the discussion over in the appropriate Boards section!

Ornn,nasus Urgot? What exactly do you mean by racial diversity?
[sg-ahri-2] You almost had me there. Good work. Solid 8/10 troll
