##[Question Of The Day] - What kind of Champion Theme do you want to see in the future?

I myself personally would want to see the following Champion Themes...


##Champion Theme #1 - A Black Merchant

Essentially a Champion who would have no access to the shop at the base but instead he has his own unique items from a separate store item 3637 that allies can't access.

  • For Clarity: The way this store would be accessed is by clicking on a small arrow button at the top of the inventory or by pressing the default store button (P).

To make this theme concept even more interesting, you could even give him a unique kind of income instead of the default gold for thematic purposes. Something like..

  • Hextokens/Hexcoin | Chemtoken/Chemcoin

To make it even more unique, this champion could even not have abilities since the items/gadgets themselves could act as his abilities. So this essentially creates a diverse choice in playstyle, and exploration to multiple synergies.

##Champion Theme #2 - A new Mage Support with an entirely different playstyle + new unique Mechanic

Essentially I started going about the idea of how often abilities are usually missed which go to waste and what if once the ability is missed that ability remains in the location as an echo (doesn't damage anyone walking through it) but after some time, this new Mage could re-cast that exact ability in the same direction. The damage would be based on ability rank, the items, level of the original caster and stats of the caster when the ability was fired, so not less not more just the exact same amount.

I imagine in order for something this complex to work, this ability to recreate ability echos item 3643 would need to remain as a global effect so that no matter where you go you can always use something but to actually cast it you need to be near the echo itself of course.

To avoid this concept from sounding overpowered..

  • This Mage wouldn't be able to re-cast the exact same Ability more than once in the exact same time. Thus why it would have a Cooldown which would likely scale down based on the Mages Level.
  • This Mage wouldn't be able to re-cast Ultimate Abilities, or at least make it so that it's only possible at the very later stages of the game.

##Champion Theme #3 - A complete outsider of Runeterra

Essentially an Alien based Champion or just a regular outsider that isn't from the world of Runeterra item 3694.

##Champion Theme #4 - The Unknown

Is it a living thing? Is it an it? What is its purpose?

##Champion Theme #5 - An Inquisitor from another world

Always wanted to see an evil Inquisitor kind of Character item 3690.

##Champion Theme #6 - A Disease bringer

I always wanted there to be a character who's all about creating Chaos and inflicting agony through various..

item 3165

  • Diseases
  • Contagions
  • Blights

It is why my name is the BLIGHTBRINGER, because I like to pretend that a Champion like Varus fits this theme because of his W and R in-game sharing a theme similarly to this.

##Champion Theme #7 - A Cosmic Trickster (Power levels of Aurelion Sol)

Wouldn't be so focused item 3694 on the offensive side of things like killing, like Shaco or Zoe, but literally just to annoy and trick enemies by preventing them from killing you or to prevent what they intend.

##Champion Theme #8 - A Shapeshifter

A Shapeshifter item 3001 item 3194 item 3151 item 3800 who's some human parts change into deadly predatory animal features.

Yay! Me next!

#1 Anthropomorphic form with an animal we have not yet seen

Like an elefant ( think like Ganesha) vastayan.

#2 Mythical Monster/ Non-humanoid Animal

I would like to play as a slow walking Turtle with like and island on their back, maybe with special tanking and supportive abilities, maybe it grows eadible fruit on its back that can be consumed by teammates for health and buffs! Or som mythical creature that we havent seen in leauge yet like maybe a Pegasus or Sphynx.

#3 An actual old woman that does not have hextech to make her look young and healthy.

Good or evil, doesn't matter, LoL needs a grandma champ!

But I would want to see a completely different Character with this theme too, Udyr feels too Spiritual about this all sort of thing. I want to see an aggressive kind of Shapeshifting Champion, besides Udyr is much older than the guy in this image.

i have no idea to add, you've committed far more thought to this than i have. i would however want the cosmic trickster to steal gold. either him or the black market merchant, one of them has to have a gold steal mechanic.

Some more non-East Asian inspired skins. There are already a lot of European and American influenced skins and champions, but there are also a lot of East Asian-inspired champions (almost all of Ionia, with the exception of Karma and Vastayas, except for Ahri) and skins like the Lunar Calendar (Chinese), Blood Moon (Japanese), Star Guardian (Japanese), K/DA (Korean), Academy (Korean), etc. Of course, this is obvious due to the player base, but it would be nice to see some representation of West Asians, South Asians, Southeast Asians and Central Asians. For example, the only non-East Asian inspired skin lines so far are Order of the Lotus (Indian-inspired), Sultan (Turkish-inspired), Nemesis Jax (Turkish-inspired) and Muay Thai Lee Sin (Thai-inspired). It would be nice to some ancient Persian-inspired skins, or Arabian-inspired skins that are outside of the Egyptian and Maghreb-inspired style that Shuriman skins have. For me, it was cool to see how Riot introduced Ixtal, a land inspired by Meso-America, with the release of Qiyana, giving champions like Malphite, Nidalee, Neeko, Rengar and Zyra more identity.
