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:

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 :|

DOESNT ANYONE GET IT? SIONS NEW SPLASH? WE ARE THE HELMENT BROS!

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.

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.

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.

MrBuffington10/14/2014, 3:37:57 AM5 votes

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

Dude, HB passive is just too much OP. As long community lives, he is undying :o

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

The Neverworld10/14/2014, 7:27:09 AM4 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.

You do know who Talon is fighting, right?

Magneto!

Pyrokineticmage10/15/2014, 12:14:51 AM3 votes

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.

BiPoLarZz10/14/2014, 8:55:28 PM2 votes

HIS NAME IS MERRIK HELMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU PEOPLE NOT READ?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!? IT SAYS IT AT THE END OF THE STORY! "Valan Helmen is dead, Merrick Helmen is dead" GOSH!

The Slick12/22/2014, 4:04:50 AM2 votes

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?

helmet bro lives in our flashes, our heals, our revives and our cleanses, helmet bro watches over us, helmet bro lives on

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.
