#Riot Champ Design, any talk about making a male enchanter.

I remember there used to be a big fuss about making a manly support which ended up spawning Braum, the same happening again when people requested a female tank which got us Leona. So Im wondering, are there any plans, concepts or ideas for a male enchanter, a traditional support like janna, lulu, sona & soraka. At the moment our closest thing is Taric who acts more as a hybrid between enchanter and tank but I'd love for the support roster to be boosted with more enchanting male champions at some point in the game. As all the male supports we have thus far only act as either tanks or damage dealers.

I may be wrong but isn't Rakan an enchanter?

Kinda, but that would mean we have 2 male kinda enchanters ( Taric Rakan ) but a lot of female champs who are full on enchanters ( Janna Karma Lulu Nami Morgana Soraka Sona )

What is the exact definition of an enchanter?

It's kinda vague but it's around the general lines of buffing allies and restraining or debuffing enemies. While Rakan can do both of those things he is primarily a frontliner and many enchanters tend to be backliners as opposed to frontliners.

okay, that helps clear the confusion, I agree though, a male enchanter would be fun

You'd assume so but no, rakan is a catcher or lock down support. they're specialized CC based supports that focus on locking down opponents for their team, think Thresh, Morgana, Blitzcrank, etc.

Enchanters are specialized defensive spell casters, casting shields, heals, silences, slow, speed boosts and more. they also usually have a form of group ability with which they can help out a larger group all at once, such as soraka's ult, janna's ult and passive and nearly all of sona's abilities.
