A Full list of Concept fragements Riot could still release

Eternal Torment·6/18/2018, 1:55:49 PM·7 votes·3,339 views

I had nothing better to do, So I took a deep look at all the released champions and decided to make a List of things Riot could still release content-wise for new champions. This List is divided between Existential Ethics, Equipment, Personality and Gameplay respectively, so I hope you all have fun reading.

Also, this list will not include things Riot is confirmed to release at some point, like the two missing darkins.

#Bodily Ethics:

  • An actual Old man/Old Woman

Basically the badass grandparents no one ever seems to have these days. It would be interesting and a contrast to all the recent youthful, energetic dark stuff if we got to see some lighthearted, easy going elderly who can rekt shit without dropping the innocent smile. Also, We gotta have a granny figure who can feed zoe and annie some sweets.

  • An Actual God

We have had godly creatures, Aspects of the targonian gods and a priestess who brings parts of one into the rift, but never have we had an actual, full fledged god in LoL.

  • A Navy Admiral

This one is most likely going to be a demacian or noxian suggestions but neither country so far has ever really given hints to their prowess at the sea. Noxus moreso because Swain has had more than one run-in with GP Who, savage as he is, flat out stole Swain's best ship, the leviathan. But that has, in my opinion, begged one question above any else. Who was the guy that basically managed the ship and the fleet?

  • A Contract Killer.

Most assassins, if not all that we know so far do their dirty jobs not just for money, but for some higher motive as well. Katarina and Talon look for hints of their dad, Camille wants to cleanse the "Lower standarts" of Piltover and so on. But when have we ever had someone who wanted the shiny gold and ONLY the shiny gold? An actual Assassin who works solely for the money.

#Equipment:

  • A two-part Shield.

Basically a Shield that comes together by two halves, one worn with each arm and when you connect them together they result in a Braum-sized shield which can also be utilized offensively when split apart.

  • Twin Glaives

Basically this thing http://i.magaimg.net/img/3k9c.jpg Not to suggest any Rip-offs but a LoL version of Illidan would certainly be an interesting sight.

  • Multiple Arms

A champion or Aspect of Targon who stands out by having 2 or even 3 pairs of arms to fight with bare fisted or each holding a different weapon.

  • A Book

A League champ who could be mainly using a large book with which he performs spells from a wide range while remaining stationary to read it down? Sounds interesting to me, don't know about you guys.

#Personality:

  • Overly proud

A Champion who is just so incoherently proud and arrogant that he somehow makes EVERYTHING about himself. An Attack repelled? "No wonder I felt pain. It's to be expected from my own power". Having slight struggles? "I underestimated how much I was holding back". Encounter Kled? "Thank you for taking care of MY property".

  • Absolutely Apathic.

The one thing LoL does not have is a genuinely desinterested champion. Every champ they have, even jax and ornn, expresses some sort of emotion. be that disappointment or annoyance. Could provide an interesting set of dialogues for comic relief purposes if we had someone who just absolutely gives no fucks at all. Not even enough to feel a shred of intended desinterest such as annoyance.

  • A Pacifist.

Braum is the closest thing we get to a pacifist but even he is willingly ready to make his hands dirty for the absolute necessity of the greater good. Someone who for no gain in the world would lay a finger on someone would be a healthy exchange of personalities, specially now when we have so much dark stuff coming.

#Gameplay:

  • A Pure protector.

A Support champion who has absolutely no offensive capabilities, who's entire kit actually revolves around directly protecting his allies, and has no indirect defences (Can't hurt my allies if you are stunned logics).

  • A Champion who navigates his supporting role globally.

I am very harshly thinking of Abathur in HotS right now. A Champ who automatically levelups to the level his other allies have gotten. (Means if the 4 others get lvl 2, he gets it automatically as well) Someone who causes disturbances on a global scale without ever being there, but his disturbances have limits and timers to make utilizing a heavy team effort, to make sure he doesn't become dropdead broken.

  • An AP Marksman.

No, I discount teemo as one, having said that, A Marksman who's auto attacks directly scale off of AP (Not champs like Kai'sa who get bonus onhit damage from AP) and who's kit revolves around synergizing with those AP AA's.

  • A Melee-version of Jhin

A Melee fighter who has a very slow, but very devastating Auto-attack which he can combine with his kit to ensure he has single-target kill. Yes, this Idea is meant for an assassin.

  • A Champion who automatically switches between Melee and Ranged.

Something like Thresh's AAs except this champ changes his Damage-output depending if he is Melee or ranged. For example, Melee attacks are slower but deal more damage, whereas Ranged attacks have slightly nerfed damage but get carried out much faster in the process.

If anyone else has an Idea to offer, feel free to post it in the comments. I simply made this List for fun, but if it turned out as an actual collection of Ideas Riot could potentially utilize for future champion designs, I'd definetly not say no.

Cheers everyone.

Zilean is an actual old man. We need an actual old woman, not the cop-out like "Oh, Camille is actually 80, but her bionic heart makes her look like she's still 20-30."

Regarding gods - League to date doesn't have actual gods per se. They've been pretty steadily building the narrative around powerful entities people worship as gods, but in the world of the game, the godlike beings aren't really gods like you expect from real world religions. There is no all-knowing, deity who created the world and everything and condemns you to hell regions for not worshiping it. There are no full pantheons of specific gods that govern different elements. There are simply forces of nature and celestial beings that alter reality, like Kindred, Bard, Aurelion Sol, and whatnot. We know that Nagakabouros is worshipped as a goddess, but it'd be hard to call her a true god considering that no other region has true gods, especially since Aurelion Sol casts some shade on Nagakabouros when talking to Illaoi.

As for your equipment, your "two part shield" is an odd weapon that isn't common or real outside of games to my knowledge. Furthermore, it's very similar to Shyvana's weapons.

The lore ones, we have no actual god, or surprisingly a navy captain, but Camille is like 76 and Talon is a contract killer, as is technically Kalista, but I suppose they aren't really pure contract killers.

Ryze uses a book. Oh God do I want a swallow(double sided blade) champion.

Karma is a pacifist but thats a huge fucking mess in its own right.

Ap marksmen?

I really like that list. So many creative ideas. Opportunities for so many creative playstyles. I can already picture it in my head.

Zilean, maybe Lulu if you're looking for more of a warm whimsical type as opposed to the actual age itself.

Aurelion Sol (whose power has been restrained) and maybe the Shurima ascended, though those may be covered under godlike beings.

maybe Kled, though not sure if he makes up his own titles or not

technically Sivir, though she is not an assassin so much as a bandit who just happens to have ascended or something to that effect. Also Draven ... but he's more or less getting paid for showboating.

Having said that though, I'd be interested in a Elder Scrolls Dark Brotherhood type assassin whose motives are in his personal interest only, maybe a Zaunite who is struggling to survive?

Good enough? Eoncius, the Souldrainer.

"A Melee-version of Jhin"

Technically, I believe that Jhin would actually fit that role, If I'm not wrong then he was the Golden Demon (I think?)

By that whole thing I mean Jhin would fit that role, but it'd have to be younger Jhin, before he was caught and before he got a gun.

Zilean is old, could use a VU tho and maybe a new VO to bring the personality u want

Kindred kinda counts as a "god" right or maybe just a force of nature? Honestly I don't think we need a "god" because they would just be stronger than anyone else, also we are talking about legends here. And actual god transcends a legend they would be on a whole other lvl. Thats why Ornn, Anivia and Volibear are classified as demigods even tho they are VERY strong, cause if they were more than aspects of nature, they'd just be too much.

Sivir isnt an assassin but she fights and explores tombs pretty much only for money, but still an assassin that killed only for money there's space for that because they would be in a different role.

Twin Glaives Ultimate Skin for Renekton?

Multiple Arms Cho'Gath?

A Book Ryze has that huge scroll on his back, it pretty much fits the bill

Overly proud Now i like this, ALOT, im sure we don't really have it yet Example Quote - Cause: If enemy stands on the champion after they were slain. "You didn't step on my face! I headbutted your foot! Your gonna feel the pain later."

Absolutely Apathic. Sorry to be that person but Kai'sa comes pretty close to this.

A Pacifist Ivern was created SPECIFICALLY for this, even his basic attacks are finger flicks and claps above the head, like he's trying to scare u off or lightly discipline you for being on bad behavior. Also he doesn't attack jg camps.

Pure Protector Most people would NOT like a champion with NO offensive abilities. But Taric, Ivern, Zilean and Bard all come pretty close and Zilean and Bard has only one dmging ability (any other champs with one one dmg ability?)

A Champion who navigates his supporting role globally. Ɑ: Now this is one of my FAVORITE champion concepts to explore since it doesn't exist in LoL yet. And its a cool theme that I really enjoy the idea of so I GOT YOU FAM!! Here are a couple of my concepts below.

Argoth, The Indomitable Infestation Champ Concept Semi-global range Mid Support: Myrsky, The Climate of Change Champion Concept: Ita’Ska, The Vacuum of the Void

Im also developing one more right now

An AP Marksman. Corki? HEXTECH SHRAPNEL SHELLS: Corki's basic attacks are permanently modified to deal 20% AD Attack damage physical damage and 80% AD Ability power magic damage.

A Champion who automatically switches between Melee and Ranged. Gnar Elise Nidalee Jayce Gnar switches Automatically. the others use their ults
