[CHAMPION CONCEPT DISCUSSION] Why Rito Refuses to make Helmet Bro a Champion

DMC75001··75 votes·76,803 views

Death #001: I Thought Cutthroat Doesn't Silence Anymore...

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-30ltiRzPr8k/VDwqVQa-mtI/AAAAAAAAbKg/gHeme2UEiuQ/s1600/Talon_Splash_0.jpg

Noticing from the image, it looks like Talon has been on some missions lately. His objective was to assassinate a crucial target that would be harmful to Noxian control. Apparently, Helmet Bro was on their top list.

Rito. Stop murdering your potential champions. It's bad for business.

Okay?

Rammus Ok.

UPDATE: 10/14/14

So, apparently, this has gotten more popular than I'd originally planned to. For your viewing pleasure, I'll add some more ways how Helmet Bro dies in League of Legends.

Death #002: Dinner Time In the Void:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ml9wq16ivwA/VCxVwpkt8KI/AAAAAAAAaLs/xgbLMTSqJUI/s1600/KogMaw_Splash_0.jpg

It looks like Creeps aren't enough to feed Kog. So, he had something much more filling. Nothing like a tasty treat of Helmet Bro to end the day.

Death #003: Trampled: Literally

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vhxsV91WqUk/VCNLQ9D4P4I/AAAAAAAAZVU/GzQQGYuDLAA/s1600/Sion_Splash_0.jpg

Probably the most favorite of the deaths. Poor Helmet Bro; hopelessly crushed by Sion's OP rework. However, notice as you gaze at the artwork. Why do you have Helmet Bro's Helmet on you as you look at Sion? Only one thing is certain. Sion's new metal boot is great at crushing bodies, and preferably, shattering skulls.

UPDATE: 10/15/14

Well. 7,600 views, and counting. And, 26 upvotes. I am a happy camper now. :) Thanks for taking the time to appreciate Helmet Bro and his awesome build.

Thus, I propose a declaration. On October 15, 2014, this shall be known as Helmet Bro Awareness Day! Like it? No?

Anyway, to celebrate reaching more than 7.5k views, here are more ways that Helmet Bro is mercilessly slaughtered by the League. You're welcome.

Death #004: The Original Dunkmaster

http://i.imgur.com/Eurw1oh.jpg

Pre-dating back towards the First Demacian and Noxian War, Darius has had his hands on a lot of soldiers. Especially the guy that Darius has his left hand around; with a bearded face and the same helmet Helmet Bro uses. My intuition suggests that this guy might be a father figure to Helmet Bro. Either way, the Dunkmaster really knows how to tear up the courts, even without the basketball.

Ignore the guy in the circle. He's not as awesome as Helmet Bro's Father.

#GETDUNKED

Death #005: Helmet Bro Stone Statues: ON SALE NOW!

http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140904202644/leagueoflegends/images/d/df/Cassiopeia_OriginalSkin.jpg

To commemorate the launch of her new rework, Cassiopeia has taken the time to procure two very special, Limited Edition, Legendary, Geniune Helmet Bro statues that you can take with you into battle! These statues will never leave your side, even when you're in a team-fight!

The Helmet Bro Statues are now selling in the store at 950 RP for this week only! After that, they're 1350! Don't wait! BUY NOW!

Death #006: Notice Me, Senpai

http://assets1.ignimgs.com/vid/thumbnails/user/2014/02/26/20823568_league-of-legends-velkoz.jpg

Vel'Koz, on the inside, is a big softie. Poor guy, always trying to show his affections to the awesome Helmet Bro. What better way to show it than an agonizing plasma ray to the face! Helmet Bro will surely notice you after that!

Senpai will notice me...EVENTUALLY.

More to come soon! But, quick question. Seriously.

NATIONAL HELMET BRO DAY OR NAH?

Guys, Helmet Bro would just be too powerful. He's too OP even in the concept phase.

We.. we just can't :|

If anything, there should be one splash art of Helmet Bro being RESCUED instead of devastated. Maybe a certain Gem Knight could lend their assistance.

Oh my gosh. A Taric splash from Helmet Bro's POV. Taric smiling warmly as he reaches down to help Helmet Bro to his feet.

Why not giving him less powerfull skillset, but saving his personality? I'm sure that the majority wants to see him acting like a lucky idiot or a funny loser, rather than to kill everyone they meet.

Jimmyyy5 votes

He's op, but has been killed 4 times. If I'm not mistaken, in the Vel'Koz preview, he was the one to be shot with the laser?

You made a time defying armored bear named "Volibear"

You can make Helmet Bro.

Helmet Bro is the League of Legends equivalent of Kenny from South Park. He dies, but not really. Sounds like a cool champ concept to me.

Passive: OMG THEY KILLED HELMET BRO!!!

-Everytime Helmet Bro dies, this message is yelled by the announcer.

Q: Unintelligible

  • Helmet Bro utters something summoners can't hear, but makes surrounding champions laugh.

W: Resilience

-Helmet Bro can survive a sticky situation with reduced damage.

E: Poverty

-Passive: Helmet Bro will put himself in danger to get more gold. Helmet Bro earns additional gold per kill/assist depending on how much damage he takes in combat.

R: Death

-Helmet Bro dies instantly and ridiculously, with collateral damage to surrounding champions.

He'd probably be like Urf. April Fools champion, killed by Vel'koz, who now wears his helmet as a skin, available for 50, 500, then 5000 RP.

Because, as a concept, a champion whose only purpose is to be a feeder for "evil" or "malovelent" champions would be ridiculous.

Or maybe those are only clones of him that are dying. Maybe he can pull a LB/Shaco and clone himself.

You never know.

I'm sure if they do make a Helmet Bro champion, it will be very hilarious but at the same time, not named Helmet Bro.

Helmet Bro would be the best name, though, or at least title, like "_______, the Helmet Bro".

It'd be perfect as a title.

Honestly, Helmet Bro sounds dumb as a champion name. Just....no. For the love of all things gaming and sacred, please no.

Because Volibear isn't stupid. Half-assed name right there.

Gnar also has an argument for the dumbest name, simply because that's what he says a lot (his mega dance is just him saying "Gnar" repeatedly). I love the furball, but seriously.

I won't continue, just because meh. Helmet Bro is fine for a champion, even as a title.

You never know.

If you look at Malphite's splash, it is implied that Helmet Bro can split into 5 forms, each dedicated to a particular role.

helmet bro is just their wiping boy. and i give you the examples http://teamcoast.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/KogMaw_Splash_0.jpg http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140221074157/leagueoflegends/images/thumb/1/1a/Vel%27Koz_First_Contact/640px-Vel%27Koz_First_Contact.jpg http://apollo-na-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1410894910943/cassiopeia-new-splash-art-classic-league-of-legends-wallpaper-1920x1080.jpg this is not a complete list only some examples.. Helmet bro is equal to characters in star trek without last names. their going to die.. and when they do.. they are just replaced with the next expendable body. just name them if you want.. helmet bro "jim" , helmet bro "nancy", helmet bro "not getting his last pay check guy", helmet bro "maybe today wasnt your day" and be happy for them. they just do their job.

MrBuffington5 votes

They can't add him to the game because everytime he respawns, someone else kills him. He's permanently in death screen :(

a horse running5 votes

I'm pretty sure Helmet Bro is for all intents and purposes the full size human representation of the minions. This is why he's generic and always dying in the splash art at the hands of the Champions. I'm surprised that some people think anything with "bro" in it to be the perfect name, but we're likely from different generations. I'd say calling the champion simply... Helmet, much like the band, is just right.

Arc Noir4 votes

I want helmet bro to be a legit champion, I'm weird. :(

The Neverworld4 votes

Sigh... Why? Why this god damn hype about this fucking Helmet Bro? It started as a joke some months ago. Now another thread was made one week ago. And now this.

Let it rest. The name is dumb. The story behind is dumb. The idea itself is dumb.
You guys want a disintegrated soldier who died when facing Vel'Koz.

No hard feelings, but you can't expect only positive feedback. This is my opinion and I think that this should never be in the League of Legends. Let alone his appearence is too similiar to Talon and of course... he's dead.

Drakconen12 votes

Karthus, Sion, and Urgot are all dead as well I fail to see how death is an issue.

The Neverworld4 votes

Karthus always sought for eternal life and so he studied the dark arts and became himself immortal. Sion has been revived by black magic summoning and only due to his previous' life being a juggernaut who even killed Jarvan Lightshield the First. Urgot (Which gets a new kit, visual and probably new lore) has been rescued from death by inventing industrial parts into his body.

This. Is. A. Guy. Named. Helmet Bro. Nothing special about him. He's just a random guy. It's like you want the dead imperial soldier number 18502 on the death star to become a protagonist (or rather said antagonist) in the Star Wars series.

I've had enough of this "Helmet Bro". I've seen by far thousands of Champion Concepts out there and there are extremely unique characters and archetypes, but this one is none of them. Even IronStylus agrees that Helmet Bro won't be made. Altough he probably doesn't want to speak out the truth because it may hurt people (I said it and people got hurt and down voted my opinion). He has no real name, he has no body nor purpose in the League of Legends history. He's just a random guy who got killed so that people see how dangerous Vel'Koz is.

If helmet bro is ever a champion his passive should be reduced death timer as his passive. Kind of fits in as he is dying everywhere.

That moment when the NA servers are comprised of Canda, USA, and Mexico which makes up the North American servers as well as random people who go to the NA servers for personal reasons.

BTW, yes, I know the guy has a name. Yes, I did in fact know that it was his brother who died. Yes, I know that it was Kassadin that allowed him to fight. No, I am not happy to see you. And yes, that is a horn growing out of my head.Soraka

10/10 execution, have a +1.

What about in Malphite 's and Chogath 's splash art? You can see three (maybe four) Helmet Bro. What if Helmet Bro isn't a person, but a whole team?

What if "helmet Bro" is just what the average soldier looks like, and that is why he is shown dying so much he is not one guy but just the average soldier.
