I know I'm going to get hate for the Goku picture, but it's the best example that comes to mind. Like I want an actual brawler to play with. Fist to fist combat. Like we have fighters such as Darius andIllaoi and even Yasuo , but can we get a fighter who actually kicks and punches. All of those have weapons and are fun, but I want someone who is actually Martial arts based.

Now don't get me wrong, I know we have Lee Sin and Udyr, but I hate both honestly. Lee Sin is more a tactical fighter rather than a brawler. He doesn't have the kit to stand there and trade punches in a fun way, like Darius or Yasuo can. Udyr is just sort of a mash up of weird. I really don't like either. I want someone who can fight like a dragon ball z character. As a martial artist, I don't feel I have any champions in game, other than Yasuo, to play with who feel like they fight.

Did somebody say LeeSin? Come on, he even has a Ki blast and can fly. What more could a DBZ fan want?

I know, and I thought that over and thought it over, but outside of that, he doesn't offer much in terms of an actually fun kit to fight someone with. Like out of all the possible fighting moves, his aren't really martial art types.

that's because he's closer to krillen. no one likes kuriren.

There's even a PHENOMENAL SS Goku custom skin for him. lol

So you basically want a pure martial arts champion?

I'm not sure if Lee isn't close enough to that already,though I could see such a character work. However in the end every character will likely have some sort of tactic involved and likely a few more supernatural abilities mixed in as well,as there is a limit to how many different punch/kicking-techniques they could put into one kit(note that they'll have to look out to make the skills unique from each other and also from lee sins moves)

What about Vi? She's all about punching...

True, but her kit overall just isn't very Martial artist like. She is more of a tactical fighter like Lee Sin.

I think tactical is the wrong word for Vi lol, but I understand where you're coming from. To be honest, I'd like to see this as well. In a battlefield of flying axes, massive swords, spears, and everything far and between, it'd be refreshing to have a champion who's ready to just go bare hands against their adversaries. However, it could be awhile until we get another champion like that as Udyr, LeeSin, Vi technically fit the bill in many peoples' eyes.

There is nothing tactical about Vi. One of her own lines sums up her character. "Punch first, ask questions later." The main play style is to dash at the target and and keep punching till they die. She is mainly Boxing. Lee sin on the other hand, is actually pretty tactical with all the ward hopping he can do do duck around, dive, and kick a target to or away from his team. Lee sin represent various martial arts. Kick Boxing, Muay Thai, and Boxing. Udyr, as strange as he is, also represents actual martial arts at a very base level. A swift strike style, a defensive style, a strong style, and a more magic based style. While there isn't much detail in his attack animation, his passive and his 4 abilities are actual martial arts styles.

What you are asking for just seems to be a weaponless, melee character that plays like an action anime character like Goku. To be honest, I don't think your DBZ desires are ever going to be met. Such a character is almost begging for an ability that comes with a Quick Time Event....and I don't think that can work here.

"...ask questions while punching"* Even less tactical, there's no way she's getting good responses with that technique. lol

We have a Goku though MonkeyKing :^)

On a serious note, I think it would be neat to see a female martial artist champ outside of miss psychic blades Irelia and Vi (if you can call "punching at all times" a martial art).

Did someone say Martial Arts

Goku did the wight thing too but when Lee did it, it was more epic.

Kaio-ken and 8 Inner Gate pretty much mean beast mode.

Although we have Udyr Vi LeeSin as martial artist I would love one without other niche. Udyr got spirits, Lee Sin got blindness, and Vi got her Gauntlet. I would want one without those, like Guy and Rock Lee but I think a champ like that would be hard to make because we already have a few champ who just smack stuff so it might be hard to differentiate if they don't have their niche or uniqueness. Which might remove some of the martial art aspect. Aatrox XinZhao IreliaTrundle Jax Shyvana Tryndamere MasterYiYasuo Warwick All pretty much smack stuff but they have a uniqueness that separate them from each other.

Honestly I am a bit confused by your request:

I want someone who is actually Martial arts based but I hate both honestly. Lee Sin is more a tactical fighter rather than a brawler

The whole point of martial arts is to bring tactic into weaponless combat (stances that can be used to defend and attack / countermoves / tactics against weaponized opponents etc.)

Maybe I am a bit slow, but to me it seems like you are asking for a brawler instead of a martial artist

not one of those are at all what I'm talking about............

How? They're all champs that use punches (even Olaf just punches while holding his axe) and can stand and fight. You won't get a champ that can only use punches and nothing else because they're abilities would suck, and they'd end up playing like aatrox.
