Leauge lacks a Mercenary character

Riot, Often it is talk about character spaces when talking about reworks and new champions, so how about the Mercenary character? I really miss a character (Specific a woman) In armor that looks wearable, meaning no super bulky shoulderpads or breastplate with breast pockets aka boob armour. A gambeson would be cool to see on the Rift.

I don't feeling like there are any mercenary character in league at the moment. Let me clarify, I mean mercenary soldier, battling on the front lines for money and not the man hunting kind.

I think that a mercenary would be a melee to short range combatant who use a few kinds of wepons and style, making it fit well for a multi style champion.

I have trouble expressing myself here so bare with me a bit, Useage of multiple weapons such as, swords, axes, maces, polearms, ext. Diffrent styles, agressive, deffencive or proactive. Kite sheild would help with a tanky feeling and still allow the character to feel flexible. So something like building attackspeed and crit one game and full tank the other wouldnt really feel out of place.

A mercenary could also mean something like a saboteur or siege expert. It could have a broader gamekit without feeling out of character.

Example for how well she could fit into Runeterra. Easy to fit in the story: A such a good mercenary that the factions wants to hire her if not only to keep her away from the enemies sides. Why is she fighting? For herself, a unrest in her body when not on the battlefields. Bathing in riches? Not when spending it on men, food, drinks and other indulgence between the battles.

Isn't Sivir leader of a mercenary group? Money seems too bland a motivation.

Using multiple weapons seems kind of silly and doesn't translate that well themewise either.

I'd like to see a Saboteur champion myself.

"Sivir is a renowned fortune hunter and mercenary captain." Yup.

Saboteur would be a cool character theme. It would be interesting to see tower interactions that go beyond reducing it to rubble Ziggs.

I feel like Towers would need a buff before a champion focused entirely on sabotaging them could be a thing.
