Will we ever get another "elemental" champion?

Macilento··2 votes·1,695 views

By elemental champion i mean champions that basically are an incarnation of some type of force of nature.

Example: Anivia : Is basically an avatar of ice Maokai Maokai is a force of nature Zyra Zyra is a living plant Malphite Malphite is the quintessential "elemental champion" as he is in fact a rock.

So what are our chances of seeing for example a "water elemental champion" or a "wind champion" stuff like that?

He is arcane, pure magical energy, he even had his Q visual rework to clarify that more.

The true Thunder element champion is Kennen , or at least as close as we get.

Ao Shin (whenever he comes out) will likely be a wind elemental-esque champ. Judging by the leaked images anyway.

I always hoped that we'll get a water elemental and that it turns out that Malphite Brand and the wind elemental of Janna form the 4 elements of the world

I mean Maokai is a tree spirit,Zyra is a mutant plant,so they aren't necessary elementals and Anivia is a bit hard to pin down,she seems to be connected to the freljord alone.

Nami is a master of water :3

Things get fishy here >.>

GreenLore1 votes

Even though Nami uses lots of water it doesn't make her a water elemental.

I mean Annie uses fire in all of her moves,yet we still got Brand

exactly, by being elemental i mean, a champion made of that element. Like a water monster or something

The only one I can think of is the Pool Party Zac, which is still weird xD

Anu3isII1 votes

Well, neither Janna is a true elemental, and I got a bit confused xD

I thought you wanted to mention the elementalists, the mages who use the power of the elements.

GreenLore1 votes

Thats why I talked about the wind elemental of Janna,not janna herself;) You know,the one she uses for her W.

Because honestly,Janna doesn't really have anything outstanding about her except for being THE wind champ of the game,so I doubt we'll ever get a seperate wind elemental,but Nami at least has the whole mermaid-feel.

Anu3isII1 votes

Ah ... Zephyr!!! I'm so dumb, sorry :(

The big thing about Janna is that she is inspired from Storm (one of the X-Men), a person who manipulates the weather (in case of Janna, the wind) to do whatever she wants. If there would be a Wind Elemental in this game, it should have different techniques to control the wind, or it will be compared with Janna constantly in terms of power.

My second thought would be that it's lore would be difficult to be created (I mean, he shouldn't be another mystery of LoL which appeared out of nowhere with no real reason). Also, I think there are too many users of the wind (Riven, Yasuo and Janna). The two sword users don't really use it as their main weapon, but they enchant their attacks with it, and they even use it to defend themselves.

About the Water Elemental, I don't really know what to say. In terms of Lore, it can easly be considered a monster of the deeps who wants to make the whole world an ocean (generic, but it works xD). I would be interested to see how its kit should be though. That is the only big problem I think.

The thing is,that pretty much every champion has some sort of character type that is unique to him/her.

But in Jannas case,it is all about the wind,she has literally nothing else as far as her thematics go and if a complete wind elemental gets introduced into the game,then that would kinda take jannas place as THE wind champ. I mean Yasuo and to some extent riven use wind,but they aren't only focused on that as they use lots of sword techniques.

Similar Nami might use water in all of her skills,but she is mainly defined by being a mermaid,not by being a water mage.

Water elemental could be a guardian of the see or something like that,overall it wouldn't be that different from making Malphite fit into the game world.

Anivia is a pheonix of ice, a creature of its own - not an elemental. Zyra, iirc, is a plant beast that can form a shape of a human or consumed a human mage. But not an elemental unless youd count Talon as a 'human elemental'.

Maokai, Brand, Malphite and Nocturne id only count as elementals

Wind/Air: Janna Yasuo Galio

Fire: Annie Brand Leona Shyvana

Water: Fizz Nami Nautilus

Earth: Maokai Zyra Udyr Nidalee Malphite

Ice: Anivia Ashe Lissandra Nunu

Lightning/Thunder Kennen Lux (steel legion skin)

And then, you still have subelements [Blood, metal, poison, energy, etc.] So there are lots of them.

If it's Steel Legion Lux, she would fit into the Thunder category.

japan hate acc1 votes

True, and Kennen would fit into lightning/thunder category as well.

GreenLore1 votes

I wouldn't list lux as a fire champion,light=/=fire(also how are udyr and nidalee earth-champs?Udyr even uses fire in one of his stances)

However Shyvana is a fire champion;).

Though the opener meant champions who are "elemental embodiments",not champs who specialize in an element.

japan hate acc1 votes

True, I wasn't really sure about Lux. However, Udyr and Nidalee are both earth champions in a sense, as the earth doesn't necessarily just include rock and plant, but also animals, in a sense. I also forgot about Shyvana, I'll update this when I get home.

GreenLore1 votes

I dunno,by that logic shouldn't all humans be earth champions as well since humans are essentially just another animal?

japan hate acc1 votes

You could, but realistically, other animals are so much more in tune with nature and the earth than we are
