Riot stop making more STEAMPUNK champions...I beg you.

- bought Headhunter for her just because I can't stand that steampunkish look.

I may feel some kind of phobia towards that culture called "Steampunk", some may not, but really, enough is enough, isn't this game supposed to be more like epic fantasy or not? What about other even more popular cultures? Steampunk is just a "Oh let me get some baroque clothes, corsets, gloves and put some clockworks onto them to look badass, oh, goggles, goggles I don't use, let's put them on top of my head because why not".

We have Monsters. We have Ninjas. We have Pirates. We have Samurai. We have Mages.

Why the hell do we have only one knight? ? Why can't we get a damn knight riding a Horse? If Sejuani can ride a PIG why is it so difficult to make at least ONE armored man with a big sword or a bow riding on a horseback?

Stop STEAMPUNKING it's gross!

You dont seem to know what steampunk is, Jace and very arguably Cait are the ones.

Also, there is a whole "stemlampunk "city, and the general technology level of the world is around that

2 actually. Both Zaun and Piltover could be considered Steampunk

KinjishiFeb 13, 20161 votes

Zaun is a hot mess of everything. No, it's not steampunk.

Almost all the world is, piltover is more aethestically steampunk, zaun more in concept and technology level, but yeah, they both are

Jace is more along the lines of diesel punk/atom age/pulp adventure/whatever you want to call it. Steampunk stuff is typically, y'know, steam powered stuff. Trains, cowboys, Victorian era gentlemen with improbable weapons. Atom age is more internal combustion, nuclear power, ray guns, and zeppelins.

Jace's weapon actually releases steam ingame, his uniform also has a cog, which is commonly used as a symbol in steampunk.

The arguably part is what he shoots, also generally unseen in diesel and atom.

It does.

Mostly I've got my eyes on that bombardier's jacket he wears. His whole look has a very pulp adventure vibe it. Chiseled hero face and so on. Like he walked right out of one of those old Superman cartoons. He doesn't really look like your standard Steampunk gentlemen or clockwork cowboy.

It's a mix of things, sure. But I've always gotten more of a atom feel from him.

Its a mixture of things for sure, not all steampunk characters are gentlemen, but his weapon seems to release steam. Genres are usually mixed up in some aspects, and unless we can pinpoint what he uses as a fuel, it doesn't make much sense to argue about it

And it doesn't make much sense to argue about it, but then again, this is a pretty absurd topic to begin with.

Ezreal is steampunk? what?

Do you even know what steampunk is?

The LovelessFeb 13, 20161 votes

Ezreal is white man in Apache clothes

Goggles* Also isnt Jarvan sort of knight? I mean Knights are lancers. Jarvan carries huge lance.

WolfChasesFeb 13, 20161 votes

Edited*

Jarvan is some kind of a knight but in that case, even Darius and Xin are knights. I am talking about a knight that actually looks like one...helmet, shoulder pads, sword, shield, horse...something like that.

Your great seasonal discount where the knight IS the horse so you can get two of them!

WolfChasesFeb 13, 20162 votes

Its a dead Centaur.

YumScrumptious96Feb 13, 20162 votes

He wasn't a centaur to begin with. He literally was a knight. He just became fused with his horse. So he's an undead knight, not centaur.

That's flat-out rasist brah...

Darius JarvanIV Mordekaiser Kayle Taric Poppy Your wide pool of knight champions.

WolfChasesFeb 13, 20161 votes

Classic knight dude, not with spikes, wings, hammers that are bigger than they are, crystals, etc...Just a classic human knight, womething similar to Garen but with armor made of chains, classic helmet, rounded shield, one hand sword, horse....Similar to Rohirims from LOTR.

EmittingXsFeb 13, 20162 votes

how about riot just stop trying to have cool, distinct characters that can be attributed to a variety of different time periods/lifestyles/personalities. then, these sort of posts can cease to exist.

what's next, less champions, more trees?

ModWulf HelhammerFeb 13, 20163 votes

Well Maokai is getting lonely

KinjishiFeb 13, 20162 votes

The deforestation of Valoran is a large concern that has been growing amongst the people. Plant trees! Less Hextech!

CaythelesFeb 13, 20162 votes

Um, Steampowered mech are pretty common due to the Time period that League is based off, Jhin isnt really SteamPunk, he is more Thratrical, And his gun Whisper is Really expensicve, so i doubt its powered by steam.

Jarvan is a knight, Darius is somewhat a knight, Sejuani is a knight of her own place.

We need more clownz RIOT. Definitely not enough Clownz in the rift.

Steam punk Clownz are preferred, thx.

stealthfox94Feb 13, 20161 votes

Of the champs you listed Caitlyn Jayce Ezreal and maybe Are the only ones I'd consider "steampunk". While I admit steampunk isn't really my thing I don't see what's so bad about it, all those champs have great skins that don't look steampunk at all.

NekusenFeb 13, 20161 votes

How is Ezreal steampunk? He shoots lazers from his hands
