@Riot KateyKhaos - Possibly any more Fire-Themed Champs?

Voidac·Aug 3, 2015·4 votes·2,238 views

We've got Brand and Annie. A Fire Elemental and bear-toting fire-child. There are other champs that use fire like Rumble and Karma (sort of). Actually, now that I think about it... that's about it. I guess the new GP sets things on fire now, so there's that.

But I think we need another fire-themed champ... or at least someone who uses the flashy element. Is it possible that a champ fitting this description may or may not be in the works? Or maybe a concept or something floating around? I love how I'm asking all the questions no one can answer directly.

All was balanced in League of Legends. That all changed the day the Fire Nation attacked!

Hiya!

Unfortunately, I'm not able to discuss what may or not be in development. D:

That said, I think idea is awesome, and like Enjoish suggested, a marksman would be an interesting role to fill for a champion who's fire themed.

There's a ton of directions the kit could be taken. Are we talking a weapon that has a fire element? Or, as you'd mentioned, something that has some kind of flashy element to it? We have a lot of champions with bows, so I think playing with the idea of a different kind of weapon would be fun.

What do you think?

I figured, and that's fine!

Now, if it were up to me... Well, I think simply making the champ fire-themed would be pretty boring. They'd have to use it for more than just attacking or as an offensive tool/weapon. I'm thinking some kind of hextechnology might be in play here. If we're going marksman, I fear the champ might come out too close to Graves or Tristana since combustion and bullets and cannons. We can't just throw fireballs, that can be boring and we have people that do that. However, I like the idea of fire through hextech. But we have to do this carefully. Champion identities are very important, I think. When we look at champs and their inventions, they all have a particular set of items (unlike Viktor who has several because he's awesome). Vi and her gauntlets, Ekko's zero-drive, Jayce's Mercury Hammer. And I think adding too many gadgets onto the champion might take away from the identity. Maybe using fire for thrust, and attack using redirected thrust?

(Just scratched a couple paragraphs where I rambled on about using thrust and fire focused through devices as weapons. Gonna wait till I get back to my desktop to continue this.)

what about a creature that spits fire? or a vandal with a slingshot, throwing away rocks wrapped by paper on fire? or just an artificer with fireworks? throws random ideas

There isn't a real fire themed support or toplaner either... (if we don't count Shyvana as fire themed and Annie since she isn't a REAL support...). Ive made a champion concept with a fire theme that could maybe inspire some ideas ^^ ( Sham'a The Candle Maker ) But a fire themed adc would maybe have a flame thrower....that would be awesome...or maybe some kind of smith guy that throws hot coal...it's hard to come with fire themed ranged weapons that make sense and don't sound like some kind of skin...

I suggested in a marksman post about having a marksman using a Fire whip which would be awesome!

you forgot Shyvana

On a smaller scale we also have Udyr (phoenix stance) and some champs who use explosives.

But anyway I think more fire champs are ok,but they shouldn't be exclusively themed on fire,because thats kinda s thing(annie is mainly identified by being a creepy child).The ice champs from the freljord are actually a good example of how to do this,as almost none are exclusively based on having ice powers Ashe is a ranger, Anivia a phoenix, Braum a shieldguard/strongman, Nunu a yeti rider, Sejuani a warmonger/savage rider.I guess Lissandra could kinda count as she is an ice-witch,similar to an ice queen.

A fire themed champion of my creation is a support with a candle theme: Sham'a The Candle Maker ^^ but its a support...so no adc :/ Still, maybe you could take a look :D

I've also made a champion concept with multiple elements :D one of which fire. I don't know if its what you were thinking of but i believe the idea would be very interesting for the field of justice. Her name is: Ethea, The Primordial Spirit

I'm just spitballing here, but what about a marksman that used a slingshot that could have fire aspects? Maybe even have a passive that somehow linked into procing the fire effects? I may throw up some details later, got some ideas rattling around in my head.
