Make a female Chinese champion

From all the unique champions and cultural background they have, LOL have yet to make a Chinese female champion. The Chinese champion should be wearing a traditional Chinese dress and her play style should be of a martial artist.(no weapons) there are too many champions that rely on weapons. Not this champion, just plain bare fist and feet. She is a fighter, not an assassin just a fighter. She can deal damage and sustain as well. Her abilities deal physical damage. Please make this champion unique, dont make it where players are like "Ive seen this before."

There just isn't an in lore area for such a character, unless it can get shoehorned into Ionia. Until there is a Chinese themed location there shouldn't be a Chinese themed champion.

The "because diversity" argument is a full load of crap anyway, so I don't see any other reason for this to happen.

Sona is a fairly chinese themed champion. Hard to specify if it's exactly Chinese inspired or not, but League has quite a lot of oriental / Asian themed champs already.

Careful, you bring real world ethnicity to the Leagueverse and the whole community riots at your door. (No pun intended)

This is just like when people complained there wasnt any "African Americans" in this game. There isnt any because there is no such thing as Africa or America in Runeterra! Plus thats seems really racist to think that Zed, Akali, Kennen, Shen, Yasuo, Sona, Ahri, Irelia, etc are only Japanese themed based champion when they could have more to it than that. If anything they are all Asian based which could be from all Asian types of culture. Case in point Guqin Sona.

Ahri is korean

What you're not understanding is that in the League universe, THERE IS NO CHINESE OR KOREAN. There's no Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese ect. They just have a place called Ionia that many champions come from. Despite the fact that many of these champions draw from a variety of Easter history and myth (such as the ninjas and nine tailed fox), none of them can really be called 'Asian'. Almost all of them (with the exception of Lee and arguable Yi) speak without any sort of accent, and their appearance physically is not significantly 'Asian'.

What you are asking for won't happen because you want a champion with a background that doesn't exist. And don't say Riot will add it. They won't. Riot have different regions that draw on different histories and mythology, such as Shurima being Egypt or Mount Targon being Greek/Roman, but they aren't those regions. They never will be.

You asked for a female champ that fights using her hands and fist, so I pose this question to you:

What is the difference between a Chinese female champion who fights with her bare hands and feet, than say, a Koren female champion who fights with her bare hands and feet? What would appear different about them.

And don't misconstrue that as racism, because the point I'm getting across here is that the reason why you say Ahri is Korean is because the nine-tailed fox is a very distinct part of Asian mythology (I would like to point out though that nine-tailed foxes actually appear in Japanese and Chinese mythology as well, so what makes her Korean?). Yasuo and Yi are supposedly Japanese because they're both samurai, because samurai were a distinct part of Asian history that had a particular appearance.

What elements would a 'Chinese female champion' draw from to make her distinctly 'Chinese'?
