Champion Ideas
So, I got some ideas I want to put down...just general stuff like epithet, faction loyalties, roles, some abilities, some origins...Because of the First Amendment and I want to... Anyway, here are some ideas:
-The Troll Drummer: Why? Well, I figure if we are going to have one (literal) troll, we should have another one to solidify the race...and give Trundle a genuine political rival! A foe who stands against both the Troll King and his Witchy master (Lissandra) and grabs a set of drums to beat a song to rally his comrades (so yeah, a support) and beat down his foes (a tanky one). Also, he becomes a drinking buddy with Gragas and Braum. Not sure about his allegiance to either Ashe or Sejuani, though...
-The Lasher of Repentance: a Darkin bound to her whip and the sister of Varus, she was sealed in the Blessed Isles and was forced to endure not just the torment of Thresh, but also the change of Blessed Isles to Shadow Isles. Broken and seeing the horror of her crimes in the past, she somehow escaped and came across a human girl who got shipwrecked onto the Isles, surviving at the cost of her arm. Repentful and surprisingly sympathetic, she symbiotically bonded with her and became a new arm...and a deadly whip to escape the cursed place...So she's/they are an assassin who uses the whip-arm to poke enemies, reflect attacks, and unleash a powerful street/lane sweeping ult...assuming the "reflecting" bit is not too op to be a basic ability (imagine throwing back tornadoes, rockets, and a morgana root?)
-Captain of the Yordle Grapplers: A Yordle special forces operative, much like Teemo and Tristana, but older and...more CQC oriented. I think there should be a genuine Yordle assassin (or slayer or whatever)...because why not? The small size would be a boon and imagine the smack talk that could be said after defeating larger foes (i.e. tanks and fighters). I imagine him (or her, 'cause there's already a few old man yordles, maybe there should be an old lady yordle Champ) just grabbing someone and punching them with inhuman strength, tossing them overshoulder...sort of like a Green Beret. A mentor to Teemo and Trist, a father-figure to Poppy and/or Rumble, a rival to Kled, and a friend to Heimer and Corki, and enemy to Veigar. Could also be another good Omega Squad skin.
-C the phantom thief: Yes, I think Cait's mortal enemy should be here; a devilish phantom thief-style skirmisher who gets stronger the more gold he has in his pocket. Would really be an interesting discussion of balance for him, in addition to new ways to trade in lane (poke him out to deny farm/gold, farm first and stay in lane as long as possible to maximize the pocket change boost, etc.) and how to economize with him.
So, yeah, that's all I can think of for the moment...save for a Shuriman genie, but do genies/djinn exist in Shurima lore?
