Lee Sin - the only actual fighter in the whole Runeterra?

Krizalid·Sep 30, 2015·1 votes·2,002 views

Is it me or League really lacks human characters who use only their fists and legs to beat their enemies? Is it really exclusive to Lee Sin or there are open rooms for someone new? Ionia could definitely have some good or evil martial artists like Ryu or Akuma of Street Fighter, with their own views on justice or power. Looks like the majority of this community doesn't want any new martial arts based champions. This topic can be considered as locked one.

Waluigi: Hi my name is Waluigi, I think that you should Asura: This isn't working. I think I'm gonna punch something now.

That conversation went well.

He does during passive.

We have a few that aren't Lee Sin. I allow them some leeway because even Lee Sin doesn't fit all those criteria (he does use a bit of magic).

Udyr is the obvious one, using spirit magic and fluid fighting styles. Shyvana has some armor and is wearing dragon-themed gauntlets, but still fights with her fists. is a boxer with giant metal fist-gauntlets. Gragas prefers his fists, head, and stomach in classic 'drunken brawler' style though he may hit you with a keg too.

I like Blanka.

KrizalidSep 30, 20151 votes

I hope he comes in the nearest future, if he won't be in the vanilla roster of SFV. Necali is cool as well though.

LuddoroSep 30, 20151 votes

jax, shen,yasuo. We got a ton of fighters in LoL :P but yeah, hands and feet i only can come up with leesin off the top of my head

SkelenthSep 30, 20151 votes

Well, Shyvana and Vi punch people too, though Vi got her giant Robo-Fists and Shyv is doing some weird dragon fire magic... And has jaws on her hands

Lmao not even close. I wish I was that successful though, working for the worlds most popular game company at 23 or however old she is.

Stars ShaperSep 30, 20151 votes

I'd really like to see a sort-of Saint Seiya character. He could be from Mount Targon as his power would derive from Stars rather than Sun or Moon. I know Bard and Soraka already are Stars beings but it doesn't feel out of place.

SchaakaKonSep 30, 20151 votes

Because weapons tend to be a better choice than unarmed :P

Alistar and Gnar are sooo human.

misread your post, sorry

Braum Evelynn Udyr

All are human/humanoid and use their hands, at least. Eve I know kicks on a few of her attacks.

KrizalidSep 30, 20151 votes

Shield, giant metal gloves, claws, hard to consider Evelynn being a fighter at all, at least in her current state.

MelloriSep 30, 20151 votes

That's not what I meant. I meant as far as your mention of "using only their fists and feet".

Braum only uses his shield for shielding (duh) and hitting towers. When it comes to minions or champions he uses fists.

Udyr doesn't have claws.. Wut.

Vi does have metal gloves, but it's still her fists under them.

And Eve, going back to my first comment, I didn't take the fighter class into consideration, only champions that use said feet/fists.

insaiyanbaccaSep 30, 20151 votes

umm actually braum uses his shield on champions once his passive procs completely and it stuns them he starts using his shield to fight iirc

MelloriSep 30, 20151 votes

Again. Special cases are not what I meant. Such as when he hits towers. In GENERAL he uses his fists.

GreenLoreSep 30, 20151 votes

I think the reason for this is simply the way champs are designed. New champs need to represent some new kind of archetype. Lee sin isn't just a martial artist in the game,he is THE martial artist of the game.

Sure there are some fighting styles that are different enough from Lee sins and that could be included on their own,but even then there is the option to tune them up in some way(like Vi who is a boxer,but she uses giant mechanical fists)

I miss the old Garen now Thanks http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/6a/6a95592073396393d931c87eb2fdc683c5c887686e3465fe29b85893904141c0.jpg

Technically Akali Kick when she uses her ult

StephenizgodSep 30, 20151 votes

but lee sin uses magical abilities more then he kicks and punches

SquidsmastahSep 30, 20151 votes

So I understand you want more champions who don't use actaul weapons? Also in the end it looks like you just want another champion who doesn't use weapons regardless of whether or not they are human.

Udyr Zac Alistar RekSai Skarner Warwick Volibear TahmKench Malphite Galio Chogath Khazix Elise Blitzcrank would like to have a word with you. ;)
