Missing/rare Champion archetypes

I think this is a good place to suggest and support the introduction of new and rare archetypes for next champion releases.

As for me, I'd like to see a 2h Templar-like champion, as for now the Paladinish champions are Taric (Tank), Kayle (Caster) and to a smaller degree Garen (More Warrior like). What I'd like to see is a 2h wielding character using bot sword swings and spells (And maybe a mount that can be summoned as a ultimate move.. actually a Mount summon as R seems pretty awesome itself) as a Fighter/Mage archetype.

I'd like to see a witch/voodoo archetype at some point. It could be a support focused on control/debuffs, with hexes and potions and whatnot.

League also doesn't have a lot of old men/women. Zilean is pretty much the only human champ that incontestably looks over 35 years old. Some more diversity in terms of age would be cool. There are a lot of archetypes there to explore (grizzled, battle-worn warrior; old wizard; hag/crone).

Still need a dual weilding sword-chucks master.

Until we have one, the league is incomplete.

We still don't have a dedicated trapper in League, a person who sets traps and such to fight champs indirectly, rather than directly throwing shit on them and stuff.

The champion would probably be never played or would be undeniably OP, but I'd still like to have one of those.

And Shaco and Teemo aren't really trappers. They just kinda have one ability that's of the sort.

I have been wanting a space knight/bounty hunter/pirate. Someone who uses something like a lightsaber and phaser combination.

I would love a grave robber type of character. Maybe something like an Indiana Jones with a whip and pistol combination. He could also set/disarm traps being a counter to teemo and other trappers.

I would also lover to see a ghost hunter/psychic character someone who uses telekinetic attacks from a distance able to erect barriers.

I would also like to see a full summoner character/pet champion, that summons 3 different types of creatures. the ult could be giant/powered up versions of those creatures.

I like the idea of a paladin but I would want it to have a split personality where it could also be a Dark paladin. one mode he heals the other he damages.

I really want to see a champion using a fan as a weapon. We had it with old-Karma but she no longer uses it. If they can do something like Temari from Naruto, that would be cool. So, I guess another female ninja.

I believe there was lots of talk back in beta and early on about champions and bringing in things such as mounts. If I recall correctly the feeling was that it causes the champion to be essentially worthless to their team as a whole without their ult being up and ready for use.

As for the archetype of a Paladin doing things a little out there seems to be a bit more of riots flavor. Generally speaking from existing champions as a good example some are very direct Archetypes but even those don't give the feeling of what they are to the extent you seem to be looking for.

I mean look at karthus a lich literally by lore and yet he doesn't summon one undead thing. Nor does he have any truly crippling like spells other than a wall. Ashe for example actually has awful range for being an archetype archer. With things like accuracy being irrelevant in the game they just gave her some ice and were done with it.
