Chemtech related champion with insect thematic

Ok, so not long ago I saw 2 concepts for champions in league of legends.

The first one was a fan concept, Sibylle, the Chemtech Warden, made by Anastasia Mardumova. https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/008/967/278/large/anastasia-mardumova-char.jpg?1516357750 Her design really fascinated me and I made an own thread to discuss it.

Then recently, we got to see an ideation of a champion, which later inspired Camille and Kai'Sa. I am talking about Husk, the H.I.V.E. commander. https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/012/624/100/large/michael-maurino-husk-1.jpg?1535689110

Both of these have similar features, they are female champions using Chemtech and they both have an appearance inspired by insects. The claws from Sybille are clearly insect claws, while the whole design of Husk is hugely inspired by wasps.

This combination is absolutely great, the insect thematic works really well with the green colours and general appearance of Chemtech, It is a way to finally create a truly creepy female champion for the game.

Additionally, it gives opportunity for another update for Zaun to tell us more about Chemtech in general, since Twitch and Singed (both Chemtech related champions) were both excluded in the first lore update with Warwick. Especially seeing Husk cancelled hurt, since H.I.V.E. as an organisation is already mentioned in Twitch' lore and I would have loved to learn more about it.

I really hope that Riot takes another look at this archetype, since it is something that I want to see in the game really badly. What are your thoughts? Would you like to see this explored again, or do you think it's better that they abandoned the idea?

Yes, we need insect inspired champions that arent Voidborn.

We need more arthropod champions in general. I don't care if they're from Zaun if they have an interesting appearance. A wasp/hornet character is easy to make; I have an intense relationship with wasps, so if I get to kill them it's perfect for me.

Kha'Zix, Skarner and Elise are pretty lonely. A moth boy/girl would be super cute.

Looks interesting tho I would maybe separate the concepts of an insect lady and a chemtech lady.. I wouldnt combine lt, rather I would make 2 Champions.. One A chem barroness or something like that and one an Insect woman with poison as her weapons :)

Visually, Kai'sa kinda comes off as an insect lady. Although her calm and measured voice design is also reminiscent of other things
