Make a female Chinese champion

waterdiva·Jul 29, 2015·0 votes·2,134 views

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.

waterdivaJul 29, 20151 votes

Riot will know what to do with this champion's lore "IF" she gets to even be a champion on the LOL game. I mean look at some other champions lore, seriously straight rubbish.

redniwediSJul 29, 20152 votes

Whether it's rubbish or not isn't even important to what you're asking. They haven't added a character along with a location in a very long time.

All characters that have come out recently have been added to areas that were already in the lore, so if you really want a Chinese champion you should be asking for a Chinese location first.

Also the "do it because you might as well" argument is even worse than the "because diversity" one.

Look at ekko and tahm kench, they just made up there lore in places like zuan and Runeterra. Like most champions riot make, they are gonna do the same with this champion.

redniwediSJul 29, 20152 votes

Zuan has been in the game for years... I'm sorry but we're done here if you are not even willing to look that up before arguing.

waterdivaJul 29, 20151 votes

That is what I just said, they made ekko's lore in zuan but whoa, where did ekko come from the beginning. Yes we are done here have a nice day.

redniwediSJul 29, 20153 votes

Ah I see. I read too fast and saw "there" thinking you were referring to the places instead of the champions. For that I will apologize.

However you're still not understanding that the champion you're asking for has no place. Ekko fit into Zuan, though his ethnicity has been seen elsewhere. Tahm is an entity that does not need to fit into a particular location, as he is neither human nor actively participating in a culture as other champions do.

You're asking for a human champion that must belong to a culture to be added for the sake of having it. It doesn't add to any particular area, and so it does not add to the game. If it doesn't add to the game there is no point having someone work on it.

waterdivaJul 29, 20151 votes

Yes, a FEMALE CHINESE champion. I know it doesn't have a lore or background that would fit in the game, making it pointless to be there (which you are saying). But if you take a look at some other champions, they really shouldn't be in the game either. They just make up lores which they do all champions so they can fit into that setting. like xin he is Chinese but his residence is demacia. This champion doesn't have to be forced into Ionia. Riot should just make a Chinese female martial artist. Riot will eventually add more settings and story lines, they can't keep adding the same champions in the same area like demacia, noxus, Ionia, frejlord, and such forever.

GreenLoreJul 29, 20152 votes

Well I guess Ionia would be the place for such a champion,I mean they have japanese inspired champs( Yasuo Shen ,etc.),korean inspired one with Ahri and even a champ who looks to be indian with Karma

XinZhao who is based on the concept of a chinese warrior was most likely born in ionia as well(though he is now a demacian,I remember that he was listed as a Demcia/ionia champ for some time).

Of course such a champ wouldn't be chinese in the lore.

waterdivaJul 30, 20151 votes

Yes, I'm not saying put China on her I mean make a Chinese inspired female champion.

There is no Japan in valoran but they have zed, akali, Shen, zennen, and Yasuo all Japanese themed champions. I could name more but I'll let you find out by yourself.

The name ahri is Korean, but the nine tailed fox creature comes from many Southeast Asian myths

sounds like lee sin

waterdivaJul 29, 20151 votes

Lee Sin is Chinese yes but not a female. There have been Asian movies and stories where they show blind fighters which you probably already know thats what makes it not unique.

KatCraftJul 29, 20151 votes

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.

waterdivaJul 29, 20151 votes

Her weapon is yes, it resembles the traditional Chinese instrument, which I believe is called the "Guqin." But I'm talking about a physical damage dealing FIGHTER without having a WEAPON.

YatsufusåJul 29, 20151 votes

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

waterdivaJul 29, 20151 votes

Look at European, oriental, and middle eastern champions. Their enthics are not revealed but we clearly know for example, Yasuo is a Japanese themed champion.

I made a thread before about a caucasian Soraka and I got downvoted into Oblivion. Do not even TRY to bring real life ethnicity to this board site. They'll go Tumblr all over your a$$

Well those people can have fun searching for 1 person over the Internet.

Haha by Tumblr I mean they'll downvote you and then explain to you why you're racist elitist cis scum who should check their privilege then explain that there's no need to bring irl things to a game where it has its own culture and whatnot and how WRONG you are for even trying.

This isn't racist, but people can be ignorant if they want.

SarutobiJul 29, 20151 votes

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.

waterdivaJul 29, 20151 votes

I believe Lucian is the only African American.

SarutobiJul 29, 20151 votes

{quoted}

I believe Lucian is the only African American.

But he isnt since there isnt an Africa, or America in Runeterra! he is a Demacian who happens to have dark skin. Or else by that logic Ryze, Karma, Nidalee, or any other dark skin person could be called that. You are trying to be politically correct in a game that doesnt need it. This game has its own world, with a culture that isnt a part of this world. So why force them change that instead of keeping it consistent by having people other of that world (or the Void)

waterdivaJul 29, 20151 votes

I'm not asking them to change it. Look on this board and tell me if you see waterdiva(which is me) saying anywhere that they should change LOL. People go on this board to request "changes" for the game which I am not doing. I am asking others and hoping for riot to see this so they can "add" a champion. P.S. Karma is Indian so she is considered Asian. Shurima resembles Egypt, Africa. So you could consider it Africa.

Why doesn't it matter?

china and other countries don't exist in runeterra

so representation makes little sense when the country doesn't even exist

waterdivaJul 30, 20151 votes

Japan and Europe don't exist but they have alkali and yasuo, Japanese themed champions and Fiora and garen, European themed champions. So?

by your logic we need representation of every single country ever because they aren't in the game and aren't being represented

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'?

waterdivaJul 30, 20151 votes

I'm not saying put China on her, I'm saying make an appearance and playstyle of a Chinese female martial artist. Look at Yasuo, what are you gonna call him when he clearly looks like a Japanese samurai. I know of the kumiho, kitsune, and huli jing, I replied to all those comment about ahri, so I don't need you telling me about the nine tailed fox, I'll just let you find the comments I replied to yourself. What would appear different between the Korean and Chinese female weaponless champion is that their playstyle, appearance, name, setting, and lore. Look up Chinese clothing and martial arts then you will see what makes this champion distinctively Chinese.

None of the champions mentioned before are chinese nor korean, the are Ionian.
