I think it would be cool if Riot made a voodoo champion with some cool voodoo lore.

As far as I know there really isnt any champ that fills out the theme of a voodoo practitioner (maybe Illaoi with her talk of spirits but that I feel she has more of an samoan islander vibe going on). Seeing what other mobas have done with voodoo characters ( mostly Baron Samedi from smite) I would love to see Riot's take on a champion with a voodoo aesthetic. They could reintroduce that canceled champion Tabu and have be a spiritual healer of sorts in bilgewater. Riot could make the champ a tophat wearing oldman that uses a cane( since we lost our other cane user Swain ) but have him be ecstatic and lively. I feel kitwise the champ could use deployables that would buff or heal allies and debuff enemies.

Honestly im just rambling and would like to see what other people think.

Since TahmKench is supposed to be reminiscent of a fat, greedy, conning robber baron from around New Orleans, he most fits this trope. People have even compared him to Dr. Facilier before (though the two are night and day in the places in society they're supposed to represent). TwistedFate also has a little bit of it, but he's more of a general steampunk-themed card magician, but still with a definite tint of that region.

Hm... if we do get a VooDoo champion, is there any chance that they can be from Bilgewater?... I mean it makes sense theme wise...

I think they could do something cool themed around VooDoo. I don't think it would be actually Voodoo, more just inspired by it.

They’ve said before that they want to do something more original than just plopping real world cultures into their setting. So at best we’d get a unique take on voodoo.

Every few months this gets brought up... Riot had a voodoo champ at the beginning but it was scrapped. I think we can officially forget about it, same as old hag champ.
