Champion ideas?

So I have been thinking of some unusual ideas for Champion concepts, particularly when it came to relations with existing champs...here are two of my biggest ideas I can definitively summarize:

-A troll drummer, who is a political opponent to Trundle, a musical rival to Sona, and drinking buddies with Gragas and Braum. A sort of war drummer who sought to rally kin and friend with a rousing warsong from his ancestral drums, presumably in defense against those like Trundle and Lissandra. I imagine him to be a sort of a music based Geomancer, sending out quakes and rock drops with the beat of his drums...and maybe make him an AD mage. An odd idea, I know, but we already have a troll tank top laner (I mean a literal troll and not Singed or Illaoi) and a song based support.

-Varus's sister, the Lasher of Repentance. Sealed in the form of her dreaded whip that had flayed thousands of bodies to the bone, this Darkin was eventually sealed in the vaults found in the Blessed Isles (rather than Shurima, like Varus thought), where other dark, corruptive artifacts were stored...and where she met true suffering at the hands of Thresh.

It went to the point where she now knew what pain she afflicted upon the residents of Runeterra and actually began to feel remorse and sympathy, possibly for the first time in her life. Fast forward to the present, and she found freedom when she found a host that would help her escape Thresh and the turned Shadow Isles, but instead of consuming said host, like her brother Varus and fellow darkin brethren, Aatrox and Rhaast, she formed a perfect symbiosis with them.

Personally, I imagine the host to be some hapless victim who got stranded on the Isles for some reason and lost an arm along the way. So, the Darkin used her whip-form to attach to the stub and become a sort of weaponized, symbiotic prosthetic. And that's where the idea ends for her ^^; Maybe her/them into a sort of short-ranged fighter, using the Darkin whip to harass enemies and maybe flick 'em away to grapple onto them? Her ult would be a sort of street sweeper that damages and slows enemies when she sweeps her arm in a given direction a few times.

What are your thoughts on these ideas?

I love the idea of the troll drummer, and I got the perfect skin idea for him: Thunder Lord. There's already 2 thunderlord skins, and this version could be inspired by Raijin (the Shinto god of Thunder).

That's actually a pretty good skin idea XD

Ooh I want to make kits for these! What if Varus's sister's ult was this:

Upon dying, she can mark a nearby ally as a new host, grafting herself onto them for half a minute. In this form, she can send out new skillshots/CC from the host and also aid the host with stat boosts! After 10 seconds, she can recast it to explode out from the host, slowing and dealing % lost health damage. Afterwords she loses her energy and dies again.

No offense, but I tend to have a low opinion on those types of "life-after-death" passives or ults; they feel too cheesy. Still, I can imagine it working out as a last ditch attack of sorts.

I would like to see a panda (monk) support champion like in WoW. I think that would be really cool.

Ditto; I love the pandaren and their monks, particularly the brewmasters...maybe they could be a melee tank support that uses various dishes of foods (gathered from "ingredients" dropped from minions and monsters) that imbue various effects, like a heal over time, flame breath, and even temporary invulnerability XD I can also imagine said panda forming a combo with gragas (lore-wise) where gragas makes the drink and the other serves the food and some relation with Tahm Kench (antagonistic or otherwise) and a curiosity for Kog'maw and Cho'Gath (given their rather voracious appetites) Alas, I have personal doubts that Riot would make a panda-champ, per se; it might run afoul with Blizzard.
