We have so many playable Yordles but only 1 playable Troll and 1 playable Darkin

I hope we get more of their respective races in the future as playable Champions, which would obviously flesh out their respective areas more lorewise which is good for everyone.

It just feels weird to get so many humans and a dozen or so furry gnomes, but we don't really get anything else on that scale.

Trolls and Demons don't really seem like one off type races like Minotaurs and Armored Bears. They both seem like they have a lot of culture and variance in their race (potentially) compared to all the other seemingly one off races.

Agreed. We could use more Trolls.

Never quite understood peoples opinions concerning this... These champions are the strongest and most powerful individuals of their race, so it doesn't really make sense to send in other representators. Any other troll, minotaur etc. would just be a weaker version of the champion (potentially mixed with another) and wouldn't really add a lot to the game.

But that's purely my opinion and if you have time to spare I would like to hear why this is an important topic for some guys.

I want to see a Minotaur or Troll shaman/wizard. It would be a fun way to subvert the "squishy mage" archetype in a way that doesn't involve some form of health stealing (Swain, Mordekaiser, Vlad).

Fizz makes a pretty good troll too

Trolls ? We already have thousands of them

I'd love to see an old hag Troll woman, a shamaness type.

She's brusque, has a dirty sense of humor, and the only thing that truly bothers her is anything that would damage her herbs. So she'd hate Twitch, because rats are always swarming to destroy her supply. She'd want to stay the hell away from Brand. She has enormous sagging boobs and enough of a stache to have a comradery with Braum. She'd be hitting on Jayce, Graves, Ezreal and etc. on the battlefield and she wants to slap Darius's ass. She's not good or evil, she's more of a merchant. Anyone going to her would be helped, and anyone crossing her would get their asses handed to them.

Rather than pure damage, maybe something like a tanky AP buffer/debuffer with some sort of DOTs.

I've always wanted to see an 'old lecher grandma' type of champion; a bit of a compare and contrast with champions such as Gragas or Tahm Kench. A character designed around this: "I'm too old to give a shit."

One marai, one minotaur, one brackern, one iceborn, one ursine, one Troll, one Darkin, one whatever the fuck Fizz's people are called, one (confirmed) demon...yeah a lot of ones in terms of fantasy race representation.

Would be better off if we had no playable Darkin, imo.

Worst champion in the game. Uninspired kit. Uninspired visuals. Uninspired story. God-awful racial name. An insipid mess all around.

TahmKench

That aside, I would like to see more trolls, perhaps one that isnt an Ice Troll.
