Discuss!

Edit: My own take on the question.

Bandle City: Rumble. He's the underdog with various ties within the faction. Bilgewater: Miss Fortune. Entangled with the pirating faction but has noble intentions. Demacia: Lux. Deeply entangled with the authoritarian faction but is herself young, bubbly and naive. Freljord: Ashe. The Khaleesi of Freljord. Ionia: Yasuo. Demonized good-guy that has to redeem himself to his peers. Kumungu: Nidalee. The only really human and relateable character from the jungle. Mt. Targon: Diana. The repressed Targonian anti-hero struggling against authority. Noxus: Katarina. A young patriot that isn't _too _ affiliated with Noxus' dark politics. Piltover: Vi. The outsider trying to fit in, with a messy past. Ez and Jayce are cookie cutter protagonists as well, although a bit more two-dimensional. Shadow Isles. Evelynn? The other Islanders are not very "protagonistic". Maybe Eve after her rework. Shurima: Sivir. The Princess Diaries meets Egyptian mythology. The Void: Kassadin. "His factions" only hero, fighting to stop the darkness. Zaun: Ekko. The young local hero trying to make his rough home a better place. An argument could be made for Zac too.

Independent: Ryze. The most hero's journey-esque character not belonging to a faction. Riven as well, although her goals are more faction-oriented.

I agree with some of yours,the ones I'd change would be:

Garen for demacia ,not only is he one of the most iconic champions,but he is one of the champions with the most connections to anyone,he is the best friend of JIV,the rival to katarina,the demacian counterpart to Darius,the archenemy of Urgot and the brother of Lux.(the official site also lists him as a friend of xin zhao).

Leona for Mt.Targon,the thing with diana is that she seems to be taking her crusade a bit too far(not that any kind of holy crusade would be good to begin with),making her more of a sympathetic villain than a protagonist.Another thing that speaks for Leona is the fact that she also has a connection to the Rakkor,thus representing Mt.Targon as a whole much better than Diana or Pantheon could do,not to mention that the Diana/Leona-rivalry is a bit more complex from her side,since we don't know exactly what Leona thinks of Diana and how she'd react if she knew what happened to her.

for Bandle,she is the kind of girl who is in a love triangle,but doesn't seem to have a romantic interest in either of the 2 yordles that are interested in her and I think that Rumble is a bit too racist against humans to be the protagonist,while Teemo seems a bit too....well off to be the protagonist.tristana nicely fits into the middle ground here.

Hecarim could be one for the shadow isles if his past gets explored,as its implied that he isn't the same person he used to be(but even then he might not be protagonist potential).Morde could also act as a villain protagonist,but we don't know that much about him,so its hard to tell.I agree that the SI don't have really any champion who is definetly protagonist potential...

Rammus for shurima,focusing on his relationship with a cactus.

I think Noxus' protagonist would probably be Darius or Swain; featuring the other as the main antagonist. Convinced of the need to unseat the nobility, Darius would be engaged in a political effort to rid Noxus of what he feels are undesirable elements. Swain would be aware of Darius' intent, but not all too eager to definitively dispose of his nation's champion. He is, after all, far too useful; and the ramifications could be dire if traced back to Swain.

You will remember Yorick Mori. Evelyn is not really "Shadow isle" it is mainly speculation that she is or have ties with the shadow isle

Diana "Truth will be told!" "I will be heard!" {Many people struggle against authority, as the learning lessons defining our existence teach us the quality of responsibility and accountability. Fact} The destruction of Diana my people and making sure other people pay for their toxic communication skills, appears as if struggling with authority might need to be no further denied by most people validating correct adherence to authority struggles. There is no reconnaissance analysis synopsis as of yet to determine the quality of Champion Hero's in Riot League of Legends online video game Realm. Possible: maybe the quality of Hero in this subject discussion might be more biased rather than equally welcoming the Depth of Value in distinguishing the endurance capacity to sustain the Quality of Champion Hero some people intellectually align their perceptions about Riot League of Legends Champion Hero's.

No worries: Spacesuit Teemo is the Champion Hero in Space, as his spacesuit calls dibs for outer-space. Not sure if this is known, but because Diana I completed the reconnaissance of Teemo spacesuit, I notified Soraka about Teemo spacesuit to help facilitate the idea of Teemo being rewarded a constellation amongst the stars and Diana my favorite the Moon.

I mostly agree with you, although I'd say Quinn for Demacia and probably Leona for Targon. Rengar is also a candidate for Kumungu I'd say.

These are great. Personally, I would switch Nidalee for Wukong just because I really like him. Also, I'd like to make a case for Kalista for the Shadow Isles. The only way she would work at all is if her backstory (life as a human before the fall of the Shadow Isles) were explored a lot more, which is pretty much the same issue with trying to make a protagonist out of any of the Shadow Isles champs right now. Just my two cents.
