Make a DISABLED/SERIOUSLY ILL champion to adress the issue in society

I really admire how you celebrate diversity with LoL champions including different sexual orientation, race, beliefs, nations. But as for now you still avoid topic that concerns people that are really ill with serious disease or disabled on wheelchair. Camille maybe doesn't have normal legs but still it's not like that. Ill and disabled person have some clear evidence with what it struggles, it clearly can't do some things. Does being ill doesn't fit in the pool of perfectly fit heroes you have? And each one of tham clearly capable of doing super hero things? Make a champion that INSPIRES like disabled ones inspire us during Para-Olympics. Don't make an old retired general without a hand or leg. Make someone who clearly doesn't fit at first sight but deeper you investigate the more inspired you feel, more connected to his struggle and being as powerless compared to all those heroes as he seems to be. Make someone a little shy and alienated but heart warming. Not deserted and sad like amumu but true warrior that faces lots of challenges everyday. Not having super muscles, spectacular magic or mechanical ways of destruction. Make him inspirational with gameplay about overcoming his limits, reaching further and further, being heroic in all his struggel. Making his death vengeance worthy. Whatever tool you give to disabled people it never fully compensates their lacking in something so Camille with her deadly legs is not a good example and representative.

You make some great movies about players who play League and how it connects tham over world, even how one guy went for his friend's funeral. There are players who are really sick. It's not that they desire sick champion, they don't want their disadvantages to be exxagereted. But it's not for them, it's for the rest of society to notice the issue. Maybe you can also make a charity donations when this champion is released.

I really hope to see such champion one day, that shows us how world is beauty in its imperfection. I also have some health issues.

Theres literally a blind person in league. You come up with a good champ idea for someone in a wheelchair, then we'll talk.

Can we not judge people/champions by their race/sex/orientation or current health?

Amumu Annie Camille DrMundo Gangplank Jax Kaisa Kalista LeeSin Lissandra Morgana Singed Sion Sona Swain Urgot Viktor ? Or do these not count because they don't post about it on social media every 5 sec?

Yeah sure it would be cool to have more diversity in the champion roster (Can we start with females having more than 2 body types)

But i don't want riot to make a champion with just the idea of them being disabled

Guys it's like saying some X-mans are disabled people. You never think of them as disabled or sick ones nor you think in such way about any champions you mentioned. I repeat we have no seriously Ill or disabled champion in league. At best they have some kind of battle scars or attributes of their power and skill but i didn't notice how every of those champions you mentioned struggels everyday with his disabilities. Cause they don't, they are superheroes. You really identify with superpowers? I don't. Let's take a book for example: a Hobbit where main character is not dwarf king but simple hobbit Bilbo we can relate to: he never had any adventure, he never before swing sword. I repeat: para-olimpics is full of disabled heroes and still they wouldn't be able to compete on equal terms with healthy participants in general. Make a champion with such abilities that they appear to be weak at first glance but somehow he leads his teammates to battle and inspires them. BTW some of those you mention are just offensive towards disabled ones: Sion? Urgot? You guys really enjoy good health but trust me disabled one can enjoy life even more and be even more inspiring than Swain is without gloomy face every killer in league has.
