I was spending some time on the internet today again and what did I find? The (in my opinion) best fan made champion concept I have ever seen in my entire life!

Let me introduce her: Sybille, the Chemtech Warden https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/008/967/305/large/anastasia-mardumova-mck-2.jpg?1516357900 Credit goes to Anastasia Mardumova, check out her work at Artstation!

This design just covers so many things I want so badly in a new champion, it's just amazing.

People were requesting a new creepy female champion for quite some time and, unfortunately, Kai'Sa didn't deliver here. While I think that Sybilles head should be changed a bit (looks a bit much like Shyvanna for me, I don't know why) and making her face a bit more creepy, her general theme is just perfect for that. That mechanical insect claw as a weapon gives her some really unsettling vibes and the summoned green liquid insect claws add into it perfectly.

Another thing I was looking forward to for a long time is a new female from Zaun. While Zaun has plenty of champions (12 in total), there are just 2 females coming from that region. Additionally, every champion having any kind of relation to chemtech is male. Warwick Singed Urgot Twitch Zac

Having a new chemtech augmented woman just would be perfect as a new champion. Maybe she could even fill another void spot in the champion roster: Chembarons.

There are some champions actively hunting chembarons in the lore. Camille Warwick Urgot So it would be great to have a chembaron able to fight them on equal terms. I could easily imagine Sybille as a new chembaron champion, kinda being the antithesis for Camille.

She doesn't care for balance, she doesn't care for the poor people she exploits in Zaun. All she is after is her own profit and she has no problem assassinating people to ensure it.

I know it is very unlikely that Sybille will be developed and released by Riot. But please, Riot, take some inspiration from that absolutely glorious concept. Give us a chemtech augmented female from Zaun, a truly scary woman to fill the hearts of every ADC main out there with terror!

i like her color scheme and the idea behind her, BUT she looks imo too similar to a mix between Khazix and Shyvana

I don't see her resemble Kha'Zix too much

Her claw-arm definetly looks like something a chemtech Kha'Zix skin could sport IMHO

It bothers me that she sports a cape and an somewhat elegant body, but then the claw-arm creates such a big imbalance.

Also shouldn't chemtech be less robotic and more human, since the chems are pumped into the body?

I have a picture of Sybille on my desktop. I thought, from an artistic standpoint, she was hella cool!

Badass artwork for sure.

But I have to agree that she currently looks just a tad too similar to existing Champions. In terms of head and body she looks like a Chemtech Shyvana skin. I think giving her a cowl like in one of the concept arts would help remedy that.

The other is that the thin scythe arm, especially how it's positioned, looks an awful lot like a piece of a Chemtech Khazix skin. It's totally awesome and I'd love to see it in-game, but it just needs something more to give it a different enough silhouette from our resident murder mantis. Maybe simply reversing the blade so it points forward could do the trick, or making it a sort of "backwards" mantis forelimb ala the spearer variety of mantis shrimps.

The artist certainly put a lot of work into making an extremely cool concept, but the current design just looks too similar to existing characters in the game. Then again, it's not like Riot themselves hasn't released official Champions that look strikingly similar to one another (Kalista looking like Spectral Nidalee or Darius & Garen looking like color swaps of each other with different weapons)...

I like the weapon arm, but I think being a chem-baron, she should share some traits with Camille and Fiora. She is in a position of power. Instead of the full chemtech body, have her legs and other arm be mostly normal, or her torso and head be human.

She should be wearing clothing that clearly state's "I am rich and better then you."
