So yeah lets talk about what Archetypes are still missing in the game.
In the old forums I had a thread under my NA-account about the archetypes(or thematical niches) of the characters in the game(back then it was in the champ-creation-forum,but with the change to boards I feel it actually fits more into the art-section). Because from what we've heard riot is trying to let every champ fill some sort of fantasy that no other champ fills(very often even mutliple at once),for example this year we've got Vel'koz who is a beholder,Braum who is a strongman/farmer/shieldguard,Gnar who is a caveman/hulk-out-guy,Azir who is an emporer/sand-mage/Ra-expy and Sion became an undead Juggernaut.
Of course when discussing this,we should keep in mind that a unique archetype isn't everything that makes a champ,a personality and a kit also belong to that,but this is not the thread to discuss those,this threads exists to discuss existing archetypes,new ideas for archetypes and what you would like to see the most! Note that simply making a yordle-version of an already existing arche-type is not enough and yeah this list is going to be long^^
Magical/Elemental: -a master of the 4 elements(maybe an udyr-like champ without ult) -a water elemental(sure nami is already a water user,but her core theme is being a mermaid) -someone who uses light and dark magic -likewise someone who uses fire and ice -vodoo champ/witchdoctor -magical artist -puppeteer -mirror mage -woman who controls her hair(could also be a futakuchi onna,having actual living hair) -Barrier magic -champ with swamp powers(either a swamp monster or a swamp mage) -a priest(well karthus could arguably be seen as one already) -a miko(priest might also be represented through miko) -Imitator/doppelgänger -champ with smoke/mist powers -gold based champ -portal based champ(could also be a technological champ) -an actual summoner?(as in someone who uses summons to fight and yes it'd be kind of ironic) -Druid -gravity champ(dunno if that would be too similar to syndra) -psychic(similar to the gravity champ this might be similar to syndra)
technological/science: -jetpack user -high-tech-armor user -motorcycle champ -yordle tank(i am talking about the vehicle tank) -Robot master -doctor/medic(as in someone who uses his biological knowledge in combat,unlike mundo) -A grenadier(think of a rather modern soldier,unsure if you could count tristana as one) -cowboy
physical: -Miner(probably a yordle who looks a bit like a mole) -Cavalerist -beast master -Blacksmith(poppy has shades of this,but she isn't one and it is in no way part of her skillset) -Thief(C from caitlyns lore would obviously be a candidate) -bandit(not sure if bandit AND thief would be needed) -god father/crime boss(not sure how you'd make a skillset for one,but the concept itself could be very interesting) -Chef -an old master(probably kung fu fighter?) -Admiral -a Wrestler(or someone who uses wrestling moves in general) -an amazon(as in really muscular woman) -aztec champ(could also be magical) -a really noble woman,like some sort of countess or princess(we have j4 as a prince already) -a gladiator -a Weaver(would probably do some magic stuff with weaving,like some kind of weaver of fate,but I list it here,because it doesn't have to be magical) ** antropomorphic animals:** -Chameleon(I think chameleons are the most outstanding lizards,which would help to seperate such a champ from renekton) -frog(also rather outstanding animals who are in no way represented already) -salamander(dunno if that would work) -dinosaur(maybe someone who manages to combine several types of dinosaur into one?This one could also easily fall into the monster category)
non-humanoid champs: -cerberus(we got infernal nasus though) -pack hunter -chesire cat -hydra(there was one once in development,but seems to have been cancelled for now) -sphinx -hive mind/brood mother(not sure if elise doesn't fill this role already) -griffon(unsure if it would work on its own) -chimera(not sure if this couldn't be too monstrous) -sea serpent -centipede champ(maybe with splitting powers?) -Manticore(would probably exclude chimera and Sphinx due to the similarities)
undead: -Banshee -Death knight(sion or Mordekaiser could be seen as one though,a headless knight would be cool too) -vampire -davy jones like character(not sure if he/she would be actually undead or just transformed) -skeletal beast(since only human skeletons are a no-go in china) -a zombie(formerly I would have said Sion could be seen as one,but he is now more of an undead juggernaut instead of a classical zombie) -Yuki onna
other fantasy beings: -harpy -djinn -oni -imp -asura(a multi-armed champ would be cool in general and no viktor doesn't count) -succubus(evelynn is getting a thematic overhaul,maybe she'll become a succubus) -Cyclops -posessed object(like a ghost sword) -a person who is posessed by some creature(important would be that both the person and the creature are part of the champ,otherwise it'd be too similar to the corruption of Varus) -Mothman -Tengu -a champ who consist of a swarm of several creatures.
other -a twin champ(or some kind of team?) -An antique living Weapon(could be magical or/and technological,so I dunno where to put it) -A champ based around speed,maybe some kind of racer or courier
Anivia: Spirit of the Freljord. In voodoo context, a super powerful and important spirit who this voodoo champion would see and likely revere.
Azir: An entity who commands the sands and has ascended thanks to the power of the sun. That's double spiritual influence for our voodoo champion to be interested in!
Brand: Primal fire elemental of doomy doom. What kind of horrific dark omen would seeing brand be for a voodoo champion? A pretty sodding big one!
Diana: I'd imagine the moon would have an associated spirit. Perhaps there's a lot these two could learn from each other.
Fiddlesticks: So what is Fiddle a harbinger of? Doom? Well what kind of doom? Perhaps some spiritual voodoo insight could clear it up!
Janna: Being a wind mage with a wind elemental companion would probably draw the interest of someone who likes the spirits, wouldn't you say?
Leona: As said with Azir, SUN!!! Also a pretty cool relationship here, perhaps through the power of voodoo and knowing the nature of the spirits of the sun and the moon, can this champion help bridge the divide between Lunari and Solari, between dawn and dusk, between Leona and Diana?
Malphite: He's literally a living mountain. While his lore hasn't been updated yet, such a massive, living being of earth would definetly draw the attention of anyone who partakes in voodoo.
Maokai: Since Maokai's now a spirit trapped in a twisted tree (I assume that's what he is at any rate), a voodoo champion would have a vested interest in helping him out, since spirits are of a divine nature. In contrast...
: ALL of these guys would be on their shit list. Abominations that pervert the sanctity of the divine, that would get someone's blood boiling I'm sure.
Nami: a child of the ocean and whatever spirit is associated with it, they could perhaps have some kind of kinship. Perhaps through the knowledge of spirits, this voodoo champion knows more about the threat to Nami's people, and could help her out just a bit.
Nautilus: On the flip side, Nautilus would probably be a terrifying sight for this voodoo champion. The dark, forboding and evil power that has twisted Nautilus could have horrifying origins that this voodoo fellow knows about, and would rather not delve in it.
Nocturne: Maybe a stretch but since we don't really know what Nocturne is, maybe someone with knowledge of the spirits could provide an answer?
count as an earth mage, a light mage or some kind of in-between . It says "It is the magic of the earth, drawing power from the resonance of crystals and gems" in his lore. and 3/5 of his skill are earth based, but his main offensive skill work off the light and energy refracted through his gem.
be considered as a priest, since due to being a user of holy/divine magics.

and soon
now.
Kalista is what I'd call a vengeful spirit(or ghost in general),as well as a supernatural avatar(with shades of things like bloody mary),I never listed something like that in my list,made only a small mention about it for banshee(I'd say banshee is still different enough from kalista,especially if they go for a more corporal version)
