For one, they are viewed as criminal bosses by the Piltover police force, so that's Vi and Caitlyn on them, although im sure those two already have their hands full. But if any of the try to rise to power by creating connections to Piltover nobles, Camille goes after them. The citizens of Zaun mostly don't seem to have a very positive opinion about them, seeing as how Ekko was almost willing to choke one to death. There' also Twitch and DrMundo in Zaun, both of whom seem to kill indiscriminately. Zac is a crime fighting blob who im sure has interfered with Chem-barons on several occasions. And most recently we've got Warwick and Urgot who are almost ENTIRELY DEDICATED to killing Chem-barons. Considering the champs that have it out for Chem-barons, along with rival barons, I wouldn't expect Chem-barons to have especially long life spans.

It helps that chem barons generally have a lot of resources, man power and in some cases augmentations to keep 'em safe.

It was a piltie in Ekko's comic though, not a baron. Although I doubt that he would have shown remorse regardless of who it was (even if he didn't actually do anything).

Yeah, I imagine they keep a lot of body guards around.

Maybe it would be a stupid idea, but if we get another chem baron champion other than Singed...

Could they be a Yordle?

I mean, Veigar is twisted, but a truly evil Yordle chem baron. With a background for having manipulated things to happen, being maybe even the reason Veigar was captured. Being the reason Teemo is a bit... "off" mentally. Being the reason that Bandle City has to engage with outside forces, to the point of being the benefactor of any aggressors.

And then make that Yordle look like the sweetest little old lady. Even give her a bun. Forget Noxia, the Shadow Isles and others as faces of terror and evil. True evil wears a smile. "Don't worry dear, it'll all be okay when the breathing stops."

That's a character who would be worth a look into as tying story together.

We need a Chem-Baron as a Champion !! After all, with the various actual champions that want to annihilate them, they probably are powerful individuals on their own !!

Based on how much we see them getting hunted down, I'd be willing to bet one might come around as a champion at some point. I highly doubt all of them will rely on bodyguards to keep themselves safe...

What's a chem-baron? I have never found the answer to this question, could someone tell me?
