I think we need more Yordle women.

Ralanr··70 votes·3,994 views

Right now we only have three female yordles, Poppy, Tristana, and Lulu. Of these three, two are pretty much glued to botlane and while Poppy can Support or Jungle she’s primarily a top laner. Now factor in the lack of primary junglers in the Yordle lineup and we reach a diversity problem.

Then there is personality. Yordles are a very passionate and often very excitable race (yes, even Poppy) so finding a new personality can be difficult. My original desire of this insane yordle who just stares at you with this big grin is actually already done with Teemo more or less. But Teemo IMO doesn’t enjoy his killing, he doesn’t feel anything from doing it. He just does his job because he might be some sort of sociopath who can hide his feelings (Teemo is the exception to the yordle personality rule). Sadly because we have Kled, having a yordle who enjoys killing or hunting down targets would be too similar (and be a lot like Rengar IMO).

What kind of personality would you all like to see in yordles? Particularly a female yordle jungler (but not just that. I just want that but more diversity in future yordles isn’t a bad thing).

Gotta wait for them to redraw female yordles to actually look like yordles. Lulu and Corki are still gnomes and haven't even been unified with the others yet.

Honestly, I keep forgetting Corki's a yordle and not a midget in a plane.

he isnt a midget, thats just his glamour we are seeing. Corki is very good at it, it would seem. Keeps even meta god summoners from seeing through it

What do you mean actually look like yordles? Cause female yordles have always looked like how they are now.

Generally yordles have much more realistic body proportions now, with necks and proper arm sizes, despite being very small. They're just thinner in general.

A thief yordle could be a good choice.

Cetri2 votes

That could work really well.... imagine a legendary thief, known throughout history. However, even when the thief has been spotted no one can agree what they look like... but in a twist of the usual tropes of the thief being multiple people, either a legacy handed down or a group operating as one entity, it's all the same yordle using her glamour and natural longevity!

Kennen already cuts too close to the "rogue Yordle" theme.

But if they add several different aspects to it, it'd be awesome.

Jet Sett1 votes

Kennen only really delivers the look of one, everything else is incredibly dramatic and flashy, more like a mage ninja (which is what he is)

A Yordle cutting closer to Talon would be interesting, assuming it wasn't the Yordle clone of Talon.

Melledoneus2 votes

I'd like a morally ambiguous yordle rogue.

"Most yordles need purpose. I just need a target." "If I like it, I take it. That's the rule."

Jet Sett1 votes

That would be interesting, all other yordles seem to have a major idealogy involving moral aspects, including evil. A yordle that lives life simply how they want to would certainly shake things up.

We need to go Sonic. Got to make a yordle that goes weresonic.

Well, since they removed Poppy's no-nonsense personality in favor of a naive and hesitant disposition another yordle can now fill that role.

Gives no cares jungler yordle anyone? Like Ornn, but meaner.

I'd like to see a thematically shy yordle in the midlane. Something with damage and utility. and everytime she does something I want to hear a "d-did I do that?"

DWT123452 votes

Poppy already kind of fills that role. She's not necessarily shy, but she's very naive and humble to the point of having low self-esteem.

But Teemo IMO doesn’t enjoy his killing, he doesn’t feel anything from doing it. He just does his job because he might be some sort of sociopath who can hide his feelings

From his lore:

Despite his genuinely warm personality, something switches off inside Teemo's mind during combat so that the lives he must end while on patrol do not burden him.

If he was truly a sociopath, he wouldn't need to "switch off." Having a conscience to turn off, or at all, kind of goes against being a sociopath.

---- I could see thief yordle very well being great. (Like Riku from FF10-2, not 10, she was more chilled out int he first game) She could be obsessed with shiny things and making money.

---- A wildlife enthusiast would be interesting for a jungler, like being entirely excited to be surrounded by animals. But more so on their animal parts and way things work. (Example, being excited about raptors claws, wolf teeth, how the krugs are alive but with no organs, how gromp is really big for a frog etc)

---Swordsman yordle would be nice, who is obsessed with items/weapons. Obviously thinks she is top dog in fencing, would literally hate fiora. [fiora-cool]

---- Hyper yordle that only thinks about food/sweets

---- Yordle with a kit based upon dreams, but she has some sort of insane overactive imagination

just a few rough ideas however many of these could go mid, top, and jungle.

You are right, we need more female yordles.

Personality I would enjoy: The female yordles we currently have are pretty cheery. Therefore, I would go for a personality that is more dark or gloomy. Just spilling out an idea now: We know that Yordles are oftenly mistrusted, even hunted, since we got the comic with Zigmund, Heimerdinger and Jinx. How about a female yordle, who went insane because of that. She felt lonely, since no one wanted to be with her. And that's why she is forcing people to be with her. Imagine a crazy dark female yordle, who is trapping the souls of people in voodoo dolls, to force them to give her company.

She is wandering around from town to town, looking for new friends to add to her collection. Maybe there could even be ghost stories about her.

I think that would fit a jungler pretty well and gives some great opportunity for story telling. They could even write a story, in which she entrapped a champion in one of her dolls, but the allies of that champ managed to get the soul back.

You know what Yordle we also don't have? An assasin and a jungler. Wouldn't it be nice to gte female assasin jungler Yordle?

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Could work, but assassin is not the only subclass we don't have a Yordle for. We don't have: Juggernaut, skirmisher, catcher and assassin.

PortoKalis1 votes

A snobby yortle would be so good LOL, just imagine a yortle making puns about every champ that comes across him, and underastimating his fellow yortles. Wow xd

Hello I am Bird3 votes

Noxus has slowly but surely become my favorite faction. My least favorite will always be Piltover (Ugh, so boring....) but Noxus used to take a close second just because I thought it was basically like "evilllll" and nothing else.

Then I figured out more about it. I learned about how anyone from anywhere can rise to power as long as they are strong, how they treat their captured cities with respect if they surrender, how they, like Rome, rely on expansion and conquest to fuel their nation. Beyond that, Noxus is, or at least was, all about them politics. It's a political battle for power that rivals no other and those are always my favorite kind of battles. Mind games are fucking littt.

I want a super meek Yordle girl that apologizes profusely as she brutally tears you a new asshole.

"I-I'm so sorry!"

"A-are you okay?!"

"I-It was an accident!"

You didn't say you want more yordles. You specifically said you want more yordle WOMEN.

Is that..... a fetish?

Ralanr2 votes

Well specifically I feel that we really lack diversity amongst the three female yordles and we already have more males that females. So I’d like to see more balance in their genders.

But you can think whatever.

PaladinNO1 votes

I've done the math on the gender differences:

Champions, total: 138 Females: 48 Males: 91 NOTE: Counting Taric as both.
