Can we have Champion Insights on older champions?

Champion Insights: Tahm Kench, the River King

I really love reading the Champion Insights, which usualy roll out a few days after the release, before the Spotlight. I'm a big lore nerd, and I also love to look at concept art. We have some really awesome Champion Insights for the most recent champions, such as Ivern, Kled, Taliyah, etc., as well as reworks, such as Taric and Poppy. Even champions as far back as Ekko, Bard, Rek'Sai, and even Kalista have them (albeit, a bit shorter). Champion Insights are just really cool because they tell the community a lot about not only the champion itself, but the design process, which is something I (and I'm sure a lot of the community as well) love to hear about.

I get that you (Riot) probably couldn't make them for like the OG 40 and beyond, but the middling to relatively recent champions I'm sure have more than enough stuff to have Champion Insights of their own - you know, your Vel'Koz's, your Quinn's, your Yasuo's, your Braum's. I think it would be really cool, and I hope that we get the chance to have these someday!

I feel like there's no insight for Fiddlesticks since he just came to be from a drawing Guinsoo made and just put him in the game with a random-ass kit.

Well, I don't know about the others but Quinn used to be a melee Assassin originally.

Would love to see a Champion Insights for her though, just to learn more about any special interactions Riot had planned for her, or scrapped abilities she had prior to her release.

I want Cho'Gath to have one. I think they had a clear direction on him when they were creating him.

I remember when they did one on Mundo. They had the Dr Jekyll and Hyde idea for him but this was before they had the tech for a transforming champion (this was before nidalee) and so they decided to go for a perma-hyde for Mundo. Makes me wonder, if Mundo was made now, what would his abilities be? (apart from ult which probably is him changing from a skinny scientist to a current Mundo). So I also would like old champion insights if it leads to interesting 'what could have happened if he was made now' moments such as the Mundo story

I really would love to see the champion insight on MonkeyKing, although I think his original designer is gone now and I get the feeling it would go along the lines of " We decided we wanted to add Wukong from Journey to the west, so we did :L".
