Champions in Nature

There aren't quite enough tank and support/healer type champions. Most champions are mage, fighter, and carry. I have a few ideas for tanks. Instead of creating freakish champions like Rek'Sai and Vel'Koz, why not create a champion based off an animal that is real? For instance why not create a rhino champion? The rhino has armor nearly as thick as WWII Tanks. It would make a perfect tank in the league. He could have a charge ability or even a knock-up. to initiate team fights. He could have an ability that does something unique with armor, the possibilities are endless. Or you could create a champion based off the most feared predator in the world, the shark, and the you could create lore with him and fizz. You don't have to do either of these but I just felt that real animals that display the desired traits in a champion would be much preferable than some freakish creation. There are already champions like Alistar, Anivia, Warwick, Renekton, Skarner, Volibear, Wukong, Twitch, and more that were based off an animal. These champions are all excellent champions and many peoples favorites. Why not make some more?

A Rhinoceros champ would be amazing. Would personally like to see a whale or bat champion as well.

This would be pretty cool, actually. When you said the WWII Tank armor, I thought of something like Shyvana or Quinn where at a point when his resource bar is full/off CD, he literally turns into a Tank, and gains new abilities for his Q/W/E. If you can maybe come up with a draft of what his abilities would do, that would be awesome!

Dude, you practically described Malphite with that rhino one XD.

Also we have a shark champion; Rek'sai. One of her core design values was 'land shark'.

Sure, animal champs are cool but you need something for them. Don't just slap them in there because others have worked.

I would like to see a Lizard champion sort of a chameleon or a dinosaur, which are also counter animals in one way and another, but for all who will saw that we have both, I WANT CLEAR ANIMALS NOT SOMETHING SORT-TA!
