Hope the next released assassin is a chembaroness

Chembaron Yamada··16 votes·9,174 views

We know that Riot is currently working on a new assassin champion. I really hope that this champion turns out to be a chembaroness. It would give me so much I am craving for.

This game could use a gross looking female champion. Until this point, all female champions have either been fairly attractive or are actual animals. Having a truly scary and disturbing female would be awesome, which could be achieved with chemtech augmentations, especially if these augmentations take inspiration from insectoid features.

We also need an update for chemtech. How come we know so extremely much about hextech, yet we get just little information about its dirty sister? Chemtech related champions like Twitch and Singed also need updates for their lore.

Also Zaun is clearly lacking female champions... the region has 12 champions, yet just 2 of them are female: Jinx Janna

Please, Riot, I have faith in you. Give me a chemtechy yandere waifu!

I could go for a Chemtech assassin who relies on chemical traps and sneaky tactics... ...kind of like Shaco should do, but he relies too much on 1-shots from stealth because of number issues in how his power budget is distributed in his kit and interacts with current assassin itemization. It could be awesome if the new assassin had some mindgame/illusion abilities, with chemtech hallucinogenic gas attacks/traps. I want more assassins who can do something other than hop on someone and 100-0 them.

I think one of the problems with "clever" champions (the way people complain about how awkward Neeko's kit is) is that you run into problems of ideal execution being nigh impossible. Things like "a vision ward" being able to counter your entire champion, or being relegated to split-push only can really hamper cool ideas.

Tbh, a monsterous and cruel female character would be interesting. The closest we have is Camille and she's morally grey and somewhat attractive (them thicc thighs)

A chem-masked female (like urgot's deal) with poison tricks and cruel attacks would be a stark contrast from our last roster of new female characters: Neeko aka THEY'RE TURNIN THE FRIGGIN FROGS GAY Kaisa aka Hi, i spent my entire adolescence as a survivor with bare minimum and horrific monsters, and i endorse L'Oreal, the only shampoo that kept my hair this nice Zoe aka hEY GUYS I HeArd YOU like CRAzY HypEr DisNEY CHArActers... BUT CHILDREN!

Before that, we had Xayah who was the last "darker" themed original female champ, and even so its hard to take seriously I honestly think that going back to the next one back, Camille, is the closest thing to an evil/monsterous female champ, & that was two years ago

I made a concept like this once. It's kind of outdated tho.

DarkTree13 votes

people complain about taliyah being ugly because her eyebrows are ever-so-slightly bigger than other female characters', so (X) Doubt

but i'd really like a grimey-type female zaunite - while there have been ones in concept/story art, they've mostly strayed away from the idea for main lore purposes. they can't deny the masses what they plead for forever

Yes, please!

We probably aren't going to get one. Ugly champs, especially women probably don't sell well.

I expected it with Kai'Sa and was completely let down.

I hope we get a Chemtech baroness, that literally drinks poison like fine wine. Would be badass.

Just imagined it and you are right, it would be awesome.

In warhammer 40k there is this Dark eldar (elf), who not only is a Baron but a ex-pirate that has got immune even to narcotics that it doesn't give the kick, so he drinks poisons that literally buffs him.

i mean kalista is unnatractive so yea

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

Eeeeh, kinda I guess.

Don't really consider her scary, creepy or even really ugly myself, but that can easily just be me.

How so? Freakishly long arms aside she's a well built athletic woman

I mean, she is kinda dead.

And some people find the built athletic look unattractive anyway.

pretty skinny too.. not to mention you know.. the three spears running through her body?? shes also blue like come on??

robotmaster1 votes

They are making a new assassin? I thought they were making a new support then the Mord rework.

4 Step Cadence2 votes

The assassin is after both of those.

How would it make sense lorewise though?

I mean, why would a Chem Baron(ess) concern themselves with getting their hands dirty, when they can just order their goons to do so?

I'm in favor of making a Chemtech Assassin, don't get me wrong, but I would rather have the Assassin work for the Chem Barons, not be a Chem Baron themself.

It can still be a gross-looking female for all I care.

It can make sense in my opinion. This chembaroness could have people under her, but at the same time have the mindset of "if a job is truly important to be done, better do it yourself".

Look at Camille, she is the head of her house in the background, too. But she still gets her hands dirty and operates herself, she is effective and uses it for the benefit of her house.

A chembaroness could be the same. They have the sources to make themselves a really effective fighter/assassin. Might as well make full use of it. Additionally, personalities are different. Not every chembaron has to want to be the mastermind in the background. Maybe she is a crazy chick loving the thrill of an assassination and she doesn't want to miss that just because her influence in Zaun increased heavily.

Another point to consider: Just because the champion plays as an assassin in the game does not mean that they do alot of active assassination in the lore. Chembarons most likely have quite some weapons at hand. Take the one Camille killed in her comic for example. He most likely didn't get his hands dirty, but he still had these lasers to protect himself.

Maybe this chembaroness has alot of chemtech augmentations which would enable her to kill every target at will, even if she does not oftenly make use of it actively in the lore.

There are ways to make it work in the lore, that's all I am saying. Chemtech assassin would be fine, but I would especially like to finally get a chembaroness.

They are highly influencial beings in Zaun, yet no one is on the level to be a champiion? We got several champions hunting down the chembarons, like: Camille Urgot Warwick It would be nice to finally have a chembaron interacting with them in the actual game and not just reading about them in the lore.

Urgot rework was initially supposed to give us a chembaron, but they changed him to the leader of a cult and he hunts chembarons instead. It makes sense for his lore, I support this decision, but it still leaves us with that lack of a chembaron.

What do you mean lorewise?

Summoner's Rift isn't canon.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

He means that if she is an assassin, then she should represent that in some way in her lore and that there should be a good explanation why someone in a high position like a chembaron is doing the dirty work themselves.

While i'd love chembarons explored more I'd hate to see it be an assassin.

Seems like it wouldn't fit. A shimmerdealer would befit an assassin better I think.

As for ugly, idk why she has to be ugly. Zaun isn't about being ugly. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/d4/Zaun_Baron_Velveteen_Lenare.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180904140333 The only female Baron named rn(and possibly at all as there's not supposed to be many of them) clearly has a preference for classy beauty. Which fits a lady in her position perfectly imo.

It's also something we need. So far all zaunite champs have been either scientists or people from it's slums. We have no upperclass zaunite.

Also vi is a zaunite and female. No matter where she lives and works. She's still a zaunite.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

She doesn't have to be ugly, but I think it wouldn't hurt to get an ugly female champion.

Also, Baron Lenare you mention here is technically not the only named female Baron. In Urgots background story, we get the name of another, Baron Voss.

There are probably even more female chembarons in Zaun and not every single one of them has to have a thing for classy beauty. There can easily be some which prefer to look cruel and scary. Or some which value efficiency for their chemtech augmentations over appearance.

About upperclass Zaunites: A chembaroness can be an upperclass Zaunite, but that doesn't mean they have to be beautiful. Being rich and influencial helps here.

I really don't get the obsession with ugly champions. I genuinely can't think of a champ who is really ugly atm. Even trundle looks good. League's stylized nature doesn't quite allow for it without becoming goofy like Mundo. Moving away from classic beauty standards doesn't make something ugly.

The main reason I brought her up is because if it were up to me we wouldn't be adding many more barons if any at all and she's by far my favourite Baron design. If there's 50 barons running around they lose their special status.

The one you mentioned left and is replaced by urgot if I'm not mistaken.(correct me if I am he's one of the few zaunite champs I don't care much for. Don't really consider him as a zaunite champ). Her design is never shown either.

I also never said beauty and wealth had to be related, just that we have no upperclass zaunite in the game rn. Which is why I'd rather see a classy lady Baron than female urgot. As barons should be "the 1%" of zaun.

I just don't see why people seem to relate zaun and ugly so much. With all the body modification in zaun I think there's plenty to do. Singed has shown how much can be changed to your body in zaun. Surely someone would use these things to start a clinic in body modification that's not related to chemtech. And then wealth comes into play.

I’d like to be able to have some chembarons to slaughter. We hear about those douches in lore and Urgot and Warwick quotes all the time, why can’t we kill them already?

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Exactly. I am tired of just reading about chembarons in the lore in which they get hunted like helpless little rabbits by the champions of the rift. It's time for a chembaron to join the fight, let us play as a chembaron finally.

I'd like to see a Piltovian hero before we get another Zaunite, there is a huge imbalance in the 2 factions.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

True, I would like to see another Piltovian champion, too.

Just don't know if I want this champion to be an assassin since that is fairly close to Camilles thematic. Yes, she is a fighter, but she has very serious assassin vibes to her, most people actually thought she would be one when they teasered her.

A Piltovian support would be great, since the faction lacks a champion for that position as their main role.

Stars Shaper1 votes

True that, I’d prefer something to fill a missing role.
