Let's create the koukaku champion

As a fan of Tokyo Ghoul, I had to notice that there are 2 champions in the game representing 2 of the kagune types extremely well. These champions are Evelynn and Kai'Sa, I will show in detail what I am talking about.


In Tokyo Ghoul, ghouls are able to create special limbs with so called "RC-cells", which have special powers and characteristics. They are seperated in 4 different types, 3 of them are very specific, while the last one is more of an "allrounder"

Ukaku Type Also called the "feather type", here are the details how this type is described:

  • big wing-like attachments on shoulder
  • known for speed and mobility
  • specialised in ranged attacks
  • oftenly have barrage attacks
  • can be used as a shield

Now let's compare that to Kai'Sa Kaisa

  • wing-like attachments on her shoulder (jetpack like)
  • has a speed buff and a dash in her kit
  • is a marksman, therefore a specialist for ranged attacks
  • has a barrage attack on her Q
  • her ultimate dash also shields her

Rinkaku Type Also called the "scale type", defined by:

  • regenerative powers
  • soft and easily breakable
  • strong penetrating strikes
  • tentacle shape attached to lower back

Evelynn does match this description perfectly. Evelynn

  • she can regenerate her health with her passive
  • is a squishy assassin
  • her charm shreds enemy MR, so her strikes are "penetrating" in some way
  • has 2 tentacle-like lashers on her lower back

Of the 3 highly specialised kagune types, we are just missing 1.

Koukaku Type Also known as the "shell type". It is described as:

  • having shell/armor shaped attachments below the shoulder blade
  • strong defensive and offensive uses (can get shaped as weapons like drills, hammers, etc)
  • slow and difficult to handle, because of it's weight

So, a champion like that should probably be a juggernaut in design, since hey are supposed to be slow, but have great defense and offense! I hope some people are willing to share some ideas how we could introduce a champion like that in the universe of League of Legends.

I feel like riot has no intentions of copying Tokyo ghoul...
