League really needs a "Crusader" or "Zealot" champ archetype

Yes, there are Leona and Diana. But in my opinion, they dont fit into archetype that I'm specifically talking about. Leona is more of a Warrior Priest, but she doesnt actively seek out enemies to her "religion." Diana is more like the last avatar of her religion, trying to get vengeance on the Solari for what they did to the Lunari.

We also have champs like Lucian and Vayne who hunt out the "evil" in the world.

The champ archetype that I would like to see be brought into this game would combine the "religiousness" of the Mount Targon champs, the constant hatred and hunting of evil of Lucian Vayne, and the strictness to duty/code of honor of the Demacians.

I want someone who talks about evil and heresy as much as Garen says "Demacia." I want an armored zealot who's sole purpose in life is to hunt and kill anything that he/she finds abhorrent to his/her religion. And said religion is strict. Like totalitarian, incredibly strict to what is good and proper, with almost no one fully meeting the criteria to being a "good person." Almost everyone to this crusader is a "heretic" in one way or another, or at the very least simply misguided or tainted in some way by their sins. (Graves greed, Ahri lust, Gragas gluttony, etc.)

But what really makes this champ is that they are so dogmatically tied into their faith that they have an impossible time working with others but a select few. They cannot accept help or friendship from one that they find to be so far down the path of ignorance and sacrilege.

Anywho, I would really love to see a champ fill this archetype.

We don't need religion in LoL

I wanna see a crusading zealot Jainist. Armed with a broom, he'd romp around the rift forcing his enemies to not step on ants or otherwise disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

I like this idea. I also think that Riot should try to do a bit of reclassification for the other character in the game. For example, Sion is probably the most Juggernaut-y of a character in the entire game. The ideas that shine through to me about him are that he is a big, slow, easy to kite tank who can, and will murder you at his first chance. Yet, despite his title being "The Undead Juggernaut" Riot hasn't referred to him as such, to my knowledge. He is actually the first of this group, but still, they want to call him a tank/fighter.

But hey, what do I know?
