5 Darkin Team

AIphaWolf·Mar 14, 2018·2 votes·552 views

I was thinking, in the Lore it says there were 5 Darkin, right? We already have 3: , , and (Aatrox, Kayn, and Varus) Now, Aatrox is a top laner, Kayn is a jungler, and Varus is an ADC. If Riot could add in two more Darkins, and make them Midlane and Support, there could be a 5-Darkin team. I'm thinking, maybe give them all a buff if all 5 Darkin are on a team? ALSO, if Kayn goes Shadow Assassin, then they shouldn't get the buff because he expels Rhaast. Also, add another A to Varus, so that it's Rhaast, Aatrox, and Vaarus. 2 A's for everything because why not right? D = Darkin just FYI for the quiz below.

What if some of the other darkin are enslaved by some powerful mages or something like that? Possibly Ryze has one stashed in the scroll. It would fit his character in that he is fighting the corruption of world runes and Darkin.

Iirc ryze's scroll containts world runes (don't quote me on it tho)

That said, the potential lore around darkins is something that excites me a lot

While having 5 darkin, 1 for each role, would be cool (and will PROBABLY be in the game,) and "Vaarus" should totally be his name, the one problem here is the Xayah/Rakan-esque buff. Sure, if it were a tiny little meme buff that gave them 1 extra AD or something, that would be fine. There are already plenty of subtle, easter-egg buffs like that in the game. However, if it is anything NEARLY as strong as Xayah/Rakan, it would be ridiculous. EITHER, as I said, the buff would have to be so weak it means nothing, OR make all of the champions weak without each other, which is a horrible design choice. Xayah and Rakan alone were hard to balance, as they wanted to make sure they weren't too weak without each other or too strong with each other.

All in all, if it's a TINY buff, that would be fine. If not, sorry, but I don't think this would work. (Still love Vaarus. You deserve an upvote for that alone.)
