@Riot If the Ruined King becomes a champion, he should be a skirmisher.

Put in the proper board as per instructions.

So the Ruined King has been coming up in a lot of the more recent lore entries (especially the Shadow Isle lore), and has been mentioned often in character quotes when buying the Blade of the Ruined King. It seems a fairly safe assumption that he will be a champion sometime in the future.

Anyway, I think he should be a skirmisher (or at least a dueling-centric on-hit diver like Xin Zhao), and my reasoning is simple: the Ruined King should have the Blade of the Ruined King as his core item.

That's it. That's my reasoning. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but I would actually be kind of disappointed if he came out and I couldn't buy HIS item (also one of my favorite items tbh) on him while still being effective.

All I ask is that a Rioter comment on this post and tell me they see it. I don't expect a Rioter to tell me if they'll do what I asked or not, or to tell me what they have for him, all I'd like is confirmation it was noticed. That way, even if he can't build it later, I'll be disappointed, but at least I'll know my suggestion was heard.

Thank you.
