Aatrox & the darkin
So aatrox had been around for about 2 years now or something, when can we expect to see another darkin champion? Aatrox was awesome, why stop there?

I'd really like to see them, but honestly, I don't think Rito is gonna deliver...
It would be cool to have like a Darkin Mage or something - a blood caster like Vlad except...you know... good. More skillshot based, maybe a powerful slow poke.
In my head I'm thinking something like Xerath actually - gameplay wise - except s/he uses health to cast spells and potentially has a similar hyper-power system to Aatrox's - where staying in combat long enough makes them extra strong.
Kit should synergize well with Aatrox (hence the slow poke - to help Aatrox get on target with his dive).
So probably a mid-Darkin. Maybe some kind of mechanic to help them lane swap.
Before they "Confirmed" that darkins are winged race it was believed that 
was one of them....
The problem with more darkins is the same problem than with Trolls and many other races....how to make another champion that remain true to the race lore while still being different enough from he one that already exist so that it can stand on its own.
That's why you see many champions unique to its species. More examples are 
.
So far the only races that riot can keep coming up with are Yordles, Humans, Iceborns (are human-like but they are ancient, consider it more like a subspecies) the undead (all the shadow isles), voidlings and ascended. Then you have a bunch of races that have more than one champion but still are very few of them like the twin angels (which consist of two) , golems (ori, blitz and galio I believe are the only one on this category) , celestials (soraka, bard and I'm guessing Sol), the new aspects. I guess Demons are in doubt since besides Tahm Kench there are not more confirmations but shaco and possible Kalista and even maybe Illaoi God (but not Illaoi herself) will fit into this category.
