How come league lacks the most basic and popular archetype of character design?

And that of course is the flying ad brawler/bruiser? Now I am not talking about this in the sense of lore, but actual design. Lore wise, League has covered a lot of what most people want, But You can't deny that a huge love and standing surround characters like Goku and Superman. More recently from the show my hero Academia, even though All might jumps really well and doesn't fly, but the fan base is there and it's massive. I've been waiting for a flying ad brawler/duelist/fighter/whatever forever, but instead we are getting a painting mage.... Now we do have Vi and Lee who are close, but really neither of them are it. I just want a straight up fist to face flying brawler. Make him mechanically challenging and everyone is happy.

Galio perfectly fits this bill.

Meh Superman is overrated and unrelatable

I have to agree with the other people in here, Galio is (in my opinion) the closest we should ever get to that archetype. Superman doesn't really add anything interesting to this game for me.

The 3/4 top-down perspective of the game makes meaningful flight in combat no different from champions with high mobility. If this mobility is too prevalent, they will become too overpowered. People complain a lot about mobility creep as it is.

The only other way to illustrate meaningful flight in the game is to give the ability for the champion to ignore terrain. There are a few champions that can hop over walls, like Talon, .. and there are champions that can pass through walls, like Kayn. If you're looking for something like this, or something closer to Aurelion Sol's ability, but on a melee champion, .. that is the only thing I could see working.

That being said, I'm not claiming that there is not potentially something that I am not thinking of, in fact, I'm sure of that possibility. I'm just saying that the perspective of the game is one of the main limiting factors.

"Riot, why don't we have representations of the most OP and unbalanced character designs ever conceived?"

Superman is just straight up bad character design. His weaknesses are "I told you I won't do that" and a fragment of rock from his home world (which doesn't even make sense as a weakness).
