Making More Yordles, and Dragon Trainer Poppy?

TL;DR: More yordles please, and some possible ideas/concepts for a Dragon Trainer Poppy skin. (Fingers crossed...) :T Read on for more details...

Dear Riot, MAKE MORE YORDLES, PLEASE!! I love the yordles so much and I definitely think some more should be made! :3 There's a high chance that you guys are thinking that there's enough yordles already and we should keep the champions pretty balanced when it comes to race, culture, society, etc. It would be kind of weird and not very fair if we had 100 Noxian champs, only 2 champs from Ionia, and continually make even more Noxian champs.
Could you at least make one more? Could it be one that does well as a jungler? So far, Poppy is really the only yordle suited for the jungle (and maybe Teemo... maybe), and we could really use another yordle jungler. If you guys do make another yordle, could you please make it a female? We could use more female yordles. ;P

Second thing... If it's possible, could you try to make a Dragon Trainer Poppy skin? I mean, you already have Lulu and Trist with Dragon Trainer skins. That's 2/3 of the yordle girls! How can Poppy not have one? She HAS to have one! Then it would be like a set! Then there could be like some bundle that's called the Dragon Trainer Guild, or the Bandle Dragon Trainers! Maybe you could even make an icon for it? lol Now I admit, it does seem pretty difficult trying to find ways to incorporate a dragon with Poppy. It'd be easier to make Dragon Trainer skins for the other yordles, such as Rumble, Corki, the Donger, etc. If you could find a way to make a Dragon Trainer Poppy skin, that would be the greatest thing ever!! I love Poppy so much, and I really love the Dragon Trainer skins! Having a Dragon Trainer Poppy would be so awesome!! ^u^

Here are maybe a couple possible ideas that could work for DT Poppy...

  • When Poppy ults, a dragon erupts out of the ground and knocks them away.
  • Her E could be a dragon carrying her forward to charge at an enemy.
  • Her Q could be a dragon blasting fire or something at the ground, or it could be a dragon smashing or tail whipping the ground.
  • I'm not sure what her W could be... maybe a barrier of dragon scales...?
  • It's hard trying to find ways to incorporate a dragon for Poppy without making it a legendary or ultimate skin...
  • I'm not sure where the dragon would be placed with Poppy... I saw one picture somewhere of Poppy with horns and holding a dragon hammer, and another sketch of Poppy having a dragon on a chain leash... One of my friends said that it would be bad if Poppy used the dragon as a hammer because that would be animal abuse. :T I'm not sure where the dragon would be placed on Poppy...
  • Maybe there could be a dragon riding on Poppy's back, just chillin and whatnot. Then maybe when Poppy picks up her buckler, the dragon surrounds her with its scaly wings to shield her from incoming damage.

Another possibility... This one might work better than the previous idea. So Lulu and Trist have and train physical dragons. Suppose Poppy is able to train and command the spirit of a dragon(s)! She was able to infuse the power of a dragon spirit in her hammer! All her attacks and abilities could display a translucent spirit dragon.

  • When she throws her buckler, it could be just a shield, like maybe a dragon scale. Maybe instead of a shield, it would show a little dragon ghost flying instead. Then when she picks it up, she is surrounded by spiritual dragon wings, or maybe just a dragon-like aura.
  • When Poppy uses Q, there could a dragon spirit shooting a blast at the ground or it could thrash the ground with its tail. Another idea that could work is that her Q would just display the regular hammer shock effects on the ground, but instead of it just being gold and plain, it could show a dragon-like emblem on it. Another possibility is that Poppy's Q could display a dragon's mouth wide open on the ground, and then the dragon would snap its mouth shut at the end when the Q is over and that would represent the second burst from her Q.
  • When Poppy uses W, it could show a dragon spirit circling around Poppy, or it could just have some spiritual dragon symbol on the ground beneath her and within the barrier. When someone dashes at the barrier, maybe a dragon could block them with their wing or tail.
  • When Poppy uses her E, it could display a dragon spirit "carrying" her while dashing forward. It could just be Poppy charging forward, and a dragon spirit is shown dashing with her. So in a way, the dragon isn't actually picking her up, but it's like the dragon's spirit/power/energy is being carried forth with the charge.
  • As for her ultimate, while Poppy is winding up her swing, it could show a dragon spirit spinning along with her hammer. Another idea... The distance of the knock back from her ult depends on how long she winds her hammer, so it's like it's increasing in strength and power the longer it is charged. Therefore, while the hammer is spinning, maybe it's sort of creating a portal from the spirit world, or possibly it's just summoning the full power from the dragon infused within Poppy's hammer. So while her ult is being charged, it could show a mighty dragon spirit slowly emerging from the hammer. At first, the dragon is faint in visibility and is curled into a ball, but as the ult is being charged more and more, the dragon is spreading its wings, raising its head and becoming brighter and more ferocious while harnessing all of its power. Once Poppy finally ults, a giant dragon erupts out of the ground and knocks enemies skyward!
  • As for Poppy's attire... Since Poppy has the character of a Demacian warrior, she should probably be decked out in armor. She could wear something besides armor, but it wouldn't really fit her type of character. As for what the armor would look like... I suppose sort of similar to DT Trist's and Lulu's apparel...? Maybe the color scheme, the emblems, etc. I don't know... as long as it's something that screams DRAGON TRAINER.
  • As for what Poppy's hammer would look like... maybe it could have a stone dragon wrapped around the arm/shaft/handle. Maybe there could be some sort of dragon emblem on the hammer itself? I'm not sure...

These are just some possible ideas for a Dragon Trainer Poppy skin, that is if you guys do decide to make one. You might not go with these ideas, but maybe it could at least be possible concepts or even a place to start? I don't know, they're just some ideas.

Oh, and another thing... maybe you guys could make chromas for Poppy? The idea I have is that instead of changing the colors of her attire, maybe change the color of her abilities? So instead of all her abilities being gold, it could be light blue, purple, red, etc. While I was envisioning the spirit dragon, I pictured a light blue and slightly greenish dragon with like spiritual smoke/residue misting off, kind of like Kindred or even that trailing light that comes from Poppy's shield when she's holding it. I guess another way of describing it is sort of like ghostly flames, but not really...? I mean, her dragon trainer abilities would still look super cool as gold, but it would also look really cool if they were red or blue or purple or some other color. Not to mention it would be different from her other skins.

Anyways, these were just suggestions and whatnot. I don't know if you guys will make more yordles or a DT Poppy, but I just wanted to still ask and give some possible ideas just in case you guys do decide to do it. I'm hoping you'll take my ideas at least into consideration. :T Thanks anyways! Keep up the good work!

Here are 2 yordles I've working on

1st Adan - The Noxus Sentinel

2nd Cel - The Phantom of Bandle City

As much love I have for yordles I like to see more than just yordles have Dragon Trainer skins

IMO, I prefer Poppy to have a legendary dragon slayer skin(because I hate dragons! :P), but IMHO I prefer Poppy to get a legendary skin not dragon related nor LCS related(because LCS skins are meh to me...).

Poppy, Tristana, and Lulu has a few skins that excludes one of them.

I too will like to see a new female yordle based for jungle(So I won't have to be play jungle in a full yordle team :P) and a primary assassin, yordles have all primary roles but assassin, maybe two new female yordles so players can have Boy vs Girl yordle team fights.

To be honest honest honest...I really want a zaunite yordle.

So I was looking for the hero one day and ran paths with a dragon attacking a village, i don't really have anything against dragons but i had to squash him. It was after that though I stumbled on this egg I think it belonged to that dragon. Well no hero would leave an egg like, while i was pondering this, it started to wobble, then cracked, "A baby dragon!" I could't control myself it was so adorable! It's head had a strange shape though kinda like the hammer of Orlon....hmmmm. Well anyway I can't just leave this poor thing here alone so I'm going to thake it with me. I'll raise it to be a good dragon and not harm others. "Dragon Trainer Poppy . It has a ring to it."
