There's been a serious streak of ranged champs coming out lately. Yes, i know that 
is melee, but besides her we've hit a streak of 4 now. I need a new fav top-laner, Rito. I have trust in you. Pls don't disappoint.
junglerboy165 votesI'd consider Sion to also be a new champ (face it, virtually nothing of the old Sion is left except his +health on kills and his exploding shield), and he's melee. That said, I would love a new melee, either some sort of AP tank like Amumu or Maokai or a melee carry like Jax or Yi.
MrBuffington2 votesI have a hard time thinking of another champion I want that wouldn't just be (more or less) filled by a rework of another champion (I'm really looking forward to the (eventual) reworks/relaunches of Poppy/Yorick, for example), or just an existing champion getting buffed or tweaked slightly, like Olaf or Trundle.
If Bard is a sign of things to come, I think the new champions are taking up a pretty unique space in the game going forward, where most established niches are just waiting to be filled out with existing champion's reworks or tweaks.
The Red Warden1 votesNo matter if melee or ranged, Riot will have their uniqueness come from mobility.
revliledpembroke1 votesWell, 
should count as a half, shouldn't he? 9 of the last 20 are melee, 8/20 are ranged, and 3/20 are form switching, but start in ranged. Seems fairly even to me.
FreshMeat7071 votesWell that was kinda a point that i kinda forgot to mention. Gnar starts off as ranged, only his passive makes him melee. I mean a full-on, Sword/Axe/Hammer/Idontgiveacrap-armed champ that mains melee. Hell, if there's an Aatrox rework coming on, i'd just be happy with that.
