Anyone noticed we lack a Superhero champion?

Closest thing we have character-wise is Galio.

By Superhero I mean a champion who starts off as a normal guy/gal but later there's some accident that gave him/her superhuman powers, and uses them for good.

Also, this kind of champion is perfect for a truly positive personality, regardless of their personal problems (some Spiderman-like attitude), which we noticeably don't have in league.

They could make them from Piltover or Zaun, or even Ionia if their powers come from magic. Or, if they want to really get creative, they could make him/her Noxian to have a truly "good" Noxian champion for a change.

Catch: he can only be a super hero for 3 hours at a time, then he just turns back into a normal guy ;)

That's probably for the best tbh, it is an anime ref.

What about Jayce? Jayce I have always imagine him turning to the camera and saying "Stay in school kids".

Zac and Gallo fit the super hero attitude and I can't say that we are lacking truly positive personalities.

Zac is truly positive, even if his "parents" got killed. Lux is truly positive, even if she is a mage, which are hunted in her country. Taliyah is truly positive.

+1 to Galio, think he really fits the bill :D

I mean... Baron Nashor is a Xenomorph Queen without legs :D

Cho'Gath is a straight up xenomorph.

zrWQMdGHtYOct 17, 20171 votes

Nah. His head and body arent similar. Baron Nashro is a 100% copy of a 3 headed Xenomorph queen with no legs.

Zac is pretty much a hero. He was supposed to be a weapon (ZaunAmorpheousCombatant) but decided to fight for the good after beeing raised by beloving parents.

Vayne isn't the superhero we want, she's the superhero we deserve.

So Superman isn't a superhero...?

Um ... did you forget about Super Teemo? We don't need anything else, to be honest lol

he's talking about champions, no skins

Are you taking gameplay wise? Lore wise I'm pretty sure there are a some champions that did not start out with any powers. Janna for example was just a girl who became a very powerful wind mage.

Chembaron YamadaOct 17, 20171 votes

No longer canon, Janna is a wind spirit, born from the prayers of sailors now. Supernatural deity and she was "born" with her powers.

But examples I can think of, who didn't have special powers from the start: Warwick Camille Ekko Orianna And basically any Shadow Isles champion, since they all got their powers after their death.

KazeNekochanOct 17, 20171 votes

Holy shit when did they change her lore? I guess now she has canon reasons for nerfs though =^) lmao

Chembaron YamadaOct 17, 20171 votes

When Warwick got his VGU, we got a lore update for Zaun additionally. The only Zaunites not included were Singed & Twitch . No love for the toxic Zaunites. [sg-soraka]

Anyway, while everyone else pretty much stayed the same and just got additional stories, they took the opportunity to completely rework the lore of Janna & DrMundo .

I expected someone named "wind kitten" to be well informed about the major wind champion in the game. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

KazeNekochanOct 17, 20171 votes

That's why it threw me off I remember them making that short story about her but they must have to the full rewrite of her lore when I was taking a break from the game.

wouldn't TwistedFate and Taric both qualify under your description?

sure, TF isn't exactly a hero, but he fits your description of acquiring powers to a T. Taric is not a perfect match, but much more "good"

honestly, Galio is a giant stature. How did he "start out as a normal guy"? (I'm assuming you're talking about lore, and not gameplay)

also (unless they changed the lore) Riven is the "good Noxian champion". she was the poster-child of what all noxians should be. And NOW, despite realizing how evil they really are, she continues to represent herself as a Noxian. She tries to represent what Noxus SHOULD be, rather than what it is.
