No females wielding Axes?

I just noticed something. The women of LOL have a fairly diverse selection of martial weaponry. However, something important is missing: none of the females in the game is carrying a proper axe. Kama don't count IMO. I'm talking about a real and intimidating axe. Like what darius or olaf carries around.

So is it too much to ask for an axe wielding female be added to LOL? Maybe one who scales off of crit damage. Like heal on crit or AS boost on crit and put a guaranteed critical hit move in her kit somewhere or one skill that gives her a passive chance of 5% or something low like that.

I feel if Riot were to make a woman wielding axes it would be too much like Olaf unless you want to come up with a champion concept.

Yea I agree. They would definitely have to think outside the box to make the kit really strong and unique. Otherwise it will just turn into a "female Olaf" champion and she won't have a strong identity of her own.

Perhaps a mounted warrior wielding an axe?

Sounds like another Sejuani

True, there would have to be a number of things different to not be called a clone. Another possibility is on foot with throwing axes as an AA.

Well just think about the battle-axe champions that we currently have Darius Olaf Nasus Hecarim Sion . There are only 2 mainstream axes that we are missing from this pool: A double-edged battle axe, and tomahawks. I'd love to see a marksman champion that throws tomahawks, or an assassin based champion that scalps people. As for a female champion that dunks harder than Darius, well I think that's just not a possibility. Darius is simply too metal to be challenged in that regard by anyone, even if you gave this guy Alistar one.

And before you mention Sion having a double sided axe, I'm talking about one that's literally the size of the wielder. Darius is too metal to hold his big axe in two hands.

How about a female who's a bruiser/tank, wielding a double-edged axe?

I can't decide if I'd rather see her as a scantily clad barbarian (like Nidalee) or in full armor (Leona).
