[Collection-Thread] Unexplored Concepts

FloRaider42·2/27/2016, 10:50:28 AM·9 votes·2,240 views

Just a small collection of archetypes, characteristics and themes I made to serve as starting point for new concepts, but since I don't have much time nowadays I don't see why it should just collect dust on my computer.

#Unexplored Themes:

The Painter: Manipulates magic paint to cause a variety of effects

The Witch: A very old lady that mastered curses, poisons or other nasties.

The Faefolk: A champion from the Glade or other place that shows what Fairies can do.

The Parasite: A champion that attaches itself to enemies and allies for debuffs/buffs and other effects.

Kayn R shows some traces

The Paladin: A champion that smites evil and supports allies

The Elementalist: A champion that mastered all elements and uses them in battle (Less he feels like Invoker the better)

Should Skins count ? Lux

The Speedster/Scout: Swift and hard to hit, but lacks burst and needs to utilize a hit and run strategy

The tiny critter with huge impact: Most animals on the Rift are enourmos monstrosities, which is why we need some little fella who can pack some punch (Since Gnar can hulk out he doesn't count)

Token Evil Demacian: Seeing as Ionia got its black sheep with Jhin, this seems like the time to give Demacia its turn Not necessarily someone that the Demacians hate, but someone that represents the bad sides of a country goverened by strict laws and traditions.

Literally a tank: Corki was allowed to bring his bomber, so don't tell me his colleagues from the artillery corp have a good reason to miss battle. Could work as a tanky ADC or as a ranged Juggernaut.

#Unexplored Playstyles:

The Construct: A champion that is at it strongest at full health, but gets weaker when he gets damaged

The Visioner: A champion that specializes in providing vision

The Wrestler: Juggernaut with high CC instead of Damage

The Commander: This champion just has himself and the ability to manipulate minions to achieve victory.

The Saboteur: A champion that can sneak up on towers and take them down when nobody is looking. Not necessarily an assassin, but a stealthy and mobile splitpusher.

The Thief: Looting bodies doesn't count for this. The less he openly fights the better.

#Unexplored Weaponry:

Ball and Chain (Seems like a Juggernaut thing) Slingshot (young kid or yordle ADC) Fans Grenade Launcher (main weapon which the whole kit focuses on) Harpoon Wires (Think Walter from Alucard) Chainsaw Umbrella

#Undeveloped Potential (Themes that already exist, but are open for further exploration)

Regions of Runeterra: Vodoo Lands, the great barrier etc. seem to have been swept in the back of Riots mind

The Darkins: Aatrox isn't the only one which means there could be others (Better, if they feel different from Aatrox) Kayn Varus Aatrox ? ?

Techies: Rogue Securitrons, emotionally unstable Terminator or hyperintelligent toaster, if there is one thing you can never have enough of, it's robots... and ice cream

Insects: Apart from Spider and Skorpion this theme has much more to offer (I personally don't think Voidborn count since they are aliens)

#Not bad Riot:

The Blacksmith: Where's the blacksmith? Ornn There he is.

Scythe (melee) Kayn

The Terraformer: A champion that is all about enviromental advantage, creating Walls and other obstacles. Taliyah seems to somewhat fit the bill (W obstacles and R wall).

Amphibious Champions: Gromp might need some assistance TahmKench

Druid/Shaman: Someone that manipulates ancient powers and spirits and is in tune with nature (Unless you have a good idea exclude Aura totems, since they lack visual impact and gameplay)

Ivern

The Hextech Soldier: Utilizes Gadgets and advanced Weaponry to get an advantage on the battlefield

Camille

The mounted Hunter: Uses his trusty beast to chase or circle enemies, while picking off targets with his weaponry.

You know seeing this tread is kinda nice. I am sure there are people who have tried many of the themes or play styles mentioned here. Though it does, make me thing back to one of my old concepts.

Another unexplored weapon that I would like to see in League is the mancatcher. I mean, look at it: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Man_catcher%2C_Germany%2C_1601-1800_Wellcome_L0057575.jpg/250px-Man_catcher%2C_Germany%2C_1601-1800_Wellcome_L0057575.jpg This is the look of a weapon that says: "I've got you now, and the only person who can let you go is me, so quit struggling".

Here is my concept list.

I think Filje fits the 'tiny but impactful'. Though he can bulk out with his ultimate, and he is a yarn doll, so I don't know if he fits the theme.

I also think league needs a merchant (check out Bubbs).

  • I think Sejuani is a mounted hunter, sort of.

  • I don't know if a black smith can be pulled off easily. It's just forging swords with a hammer. Maybe give a weapon to your allies to help aid them in battle? Maybe.

  • Already discussed this in my thread a few minutes ago. But thanks for the feedback.

  • While I'm into the idea of making a Hextech soldier, it's usually looked own upon since people would expect it to be a Call of Duty type champion. Damn FPS cliches.

  • There are plenty of champions who use ancient power but if you talk about healers. . . yeah, that's been taken too.

  • Well, people are attempting this concept. Gonna check them out.

  • Interesting concept but difficult to balance.

  • Yeah, we don't really see much of those. It's usually just one element that's focused.

  • We can go as small as a yordle or a child. As far as big impact goes, we look towards Poppy.

  • Well, don't know what to think from there. The text you put speaks for itself.

  • That's a good question. . . who are the bad guys from Demacia? Who are the good guys from Nox- oh nevermind. Noxus's got the Grey Order.

  • As put in my list. I'm glad we're on the same page there.

  • Seems rather under powered to give such a strict punishment to a certain champion who loses health.

  • That's something Riot should be able to pull off. Maybe have the ability to see invisible units.

  • Wrestler, eh? I was think of a hilarious ultimate where you jump high in the air, land flat on a target, dealing true damage and suppressing them with your big muscular weight. Upon landing, everyone gets launched in the air.

  • Well, since Dominion's out of the picture, I guess it's possible to pull this concept off.

  • I was thinking of a Saboteur that sabotages enemy offenses like attack damage or ability power. Yeah we certain champions that sabotages enemies but that's not really their main role. They're mostly meant for offensive crowd control.

  • Imagine a mime could form a wall and squish his enemy against another wall. That'd be pretty brutal.

  • Aatrox is probably the only one of his kind that's left. Who knows, maybe another might come back to life.

  • I find Viktor to be one of those unstable techies. If only he would build his victims onto robots. I mean, that's one of his quotes: "Destroy then Improve". You destroyed your target, Viktor now turn them into robots.

  • Perhaps an experiment gone wrong might cause an innocent creature to go havoc. Magic or Science, whatever experiment.

  • Yes! Fucking yes! Riot, why haven't we gone south of Valoran? Why haven't we met Annie's parents in the Voodoo Lands? What kind of place is the Plaque Jungle? What's Kumungu or whatever it's called? Is Valoran the only continent in the planet?

Glad to read the list and thanks for reading mine.

Bump.

This is actually a really good post. Keep them ideas flowing man.

If you feel like making a new concept, you might want to keep these aspects in mind while creating the champion:

  1. He should have a new Identity
  2. He should be fun to play with and against
  3. He should include a new and unique playstyle
  4. His kit should fit the established character and theme
  5. All other aspects should work together

Shameless you are indeed :p (jk)

When you mentioned an umbrella weapon I got vibes from The Kings Avatar and RWBY (Neo)

Welcome to League of Legends Champion Spotlight. The champion we will be looking at today is

Gustav the Railway Gun

I have made quite a few champions in my time, among them are 3 witch champions - all a part of a coven in the Voodoo Isles. I agree that this is the most underused region.

Marion -Voodoo witch - used thread and puppets.

Methuselah -Potion master - used various ingredients and brews.

Makenna -Demonologist - used ritual circles and sacred rites to bring forth flames and whatnot.

*I also fiddled around with a few unused concepts before I left the CCOS scene:

Crew

  • a champion that was comprised of 2-3 minion-like creatures that operate a catapult.

Commander -a champion who can highlight either himself, or areas of the map that neaby allies can move faster towards for brief periods of time.

Astral Projector -could leave his body as a spirit to attack enemies with lower cooldowns, but it left his physical body alone and vulnerable. He could only move a certain distance from his body.

Zaun Nomad -While most Piltover/Zaun champs are just in the cities, I had a concept where a character had used technology to pursue life as a warrior vegabond in Shurima.

I made a champion similar to your 'commander' idea here.

Seeing as Ionia got its newest black sheep

Kayn is a good guy - check his opening quotes.
