We have Anivia, so why not another bird champion? We have swain, but there are many champions with overlapping themes. Ex) Brahm's sheild and Orrn both resemble a ram and so on...

We need a turtle champ. We have Rammus, but he's not exactly a turtle... He has spikes you know?

There are too many European-American-Japanese themed champs in this game, and it should cater to many many audiences in East Asia. More champs derived from Eastern Asian mythology please.

I'd rather Riot just focus on making champions they are passionate about. Catering to certain people would make champions lose quality. No "East Asia" champions just for the sake of them being derived from that location. Same thing with making another "black" champion, if it happens it happens but it is a bad idea to force it. Trying to force any inclusion in artistic fields never works out. If you want a champion designed like one of those myths then feel free write one up though, might be cool. Turtle snake boi could be the next Nunu & Willump.

Okay but what do they do? Having three legs does absolutely nothing but ruin the physiology of the animal, so unless it does something magic then it'd be hard to turn that into a working kit OR model.

The turtle + snake thing could be cool though.

While it is true that we already have overlapping themes, I wouldn't like to add another bird. The bird thematic is represented extremely much in this game. Azir Anivia Quinn Rakan Xayah Swain Fiddlesticks Janna And while I really like Yatagarasu, especially with the connection to Suzuki Magoichi, who is one of my favourite historical figures, I think we really don't have to add more birds to the roster.

Turtle is a better idea, in my opinion. Rammus isn't a turtle, he is more inspired by an armadillo (hence why his title is the armordillo) and turtles are by far not as investigated as birds. Could imagine such a champion coming from Bilgewater.
