Champions which deliver on their fantasy well
When you play some champions, you really feel like you are that badass 'x'. With others, not so much.
Fiora is one. You really feel like a fencer. Riot's goal when reworking her was to bring out this fantasy, and they succeeded. Even if they nerf her into oblivion, it won't change that she 'feels' like a real fencer and you feel like a skilled sword master when you use her.
Which champions do the rest of you personally feel really deliver when it comes fantasy? Why did you choose them? Is it more a game mechanic thing like fiora, or is it more an art thing?
So far, Sion stands out as Riot's greatest masterpiece in my book.
"In Noxus, any citizen may rise to power regardless of race, gender, or social standing - strength is all that matters. It was with committed faith in this ideal that Riven strove to greatness. She showed early potential as a soldier, forcing herself to master the weight of a long sword when she was barely its height. She was ruthless and efficient as a warrior, but her true strength lay in her conviction. She entered battles without any trace of doubt in her mind: no ethical pause, no fear of death."
He's a dick, there is nothing funnier than watching a good Shaco, and very few things scarier than playing against one.
"An ally has been slain"
1000 stacks
With 1 kill
Only needs lvl 3
I love her concept all around. Her abilities look fantastic. Her ult is probably one of the cooler (no pun intended) ults in the game. It's extremely fun to try and make plays with her even if they don't always work out. She really feels like a powerful ice witch, they hit the mark on this one.
only performs her fantasy with her DJ Skin, because you aren't playing songs otherwise and that makes me sad :(
to me has a very fulfilling fantasy. Early on he's a joke, he can get forced out of lane and can even die to the right people. But as the game goes on he slowly becomes stronger and stronger, with each Q stack he slowly accumulates power. Eventually he comes out and throws a giant mass of negative energy at his opponent and completely obliterates them. As the game goes on he stops being the little joke and eventually becomes the nightmarishly powerful mage that can and will destroy his enemies with extreme prejudice.
is weird in that his fantasy is more... scientific, but he just kinda melts everything. Despite that, the power of his ultimate, and the feeling of doing it right and getting a Triple to a Pentakill absolutely cannot be denied.
fulfills his fantasy of learning his opponents strengths and weaknesses and adapting against them as time goes on. He's still somewhat strong early but I (unlike many others) actually enjoy scaling with him rather than just being stupid powerful throughout all stages of the game. I played him before his rework and I really liked how he felt at the end of the game, and though I haven't played him recently, I'm glad they changed his augments so they once again become more powerful later on instead of being a 'rush to get all the things' purchase.
The Loose Cannon. Everything she does screams Jinx, Chaos, and Anarchy. Too many epic plays to be made (I sniped top lane from bot, it was exhilarating.) and she delivers on the fantasy well. Her passive especially drives it home: GOTTA GO CRAZY AND DO MOAR!
Who doesn't love a good punch?
Basically the ultimate healer. Her heals can be very impactful, and frequently sacrifice yourself to save others (much to the annoyance of the enemy team.)
Guns blazing. It's very satisfying to get a good ult off and cripple the enemy team with a hail fire of bullets. Early game, bouncing bullets is pretty fun too (bonus points: It really hurts. Don't ever want to take an enhanced double up shot.)
the glorious feeling of being an asshole
: You got ninja sama Zed over there, but I got ass kicking ass-creed Talon here, his spell names are even nice too and playing him makes me feel like the real assassin.
: I'm the king, and the king says you can't farm! I feel like a real king/god when I play Azir right and get fed, join me, or fall beneath me!
: You truly feel like a monster when you do turn in to one when playing Gnar, RAWR!
GOJIRAAAA
your ADC = my second support
: MUNDO GOES WHERE HE PLEASES!
That is all
I feel just like someone who doesn't give a damn about death. I run in, I throw things, hit things, and run at things really fast, and I pick up a Quadra Kill even though I fed in lane.
deliver.
