Can we get a super dark and gritty champ?

Pyke was supposed to fill this role, but he was really watered down, hes not that dark in game, i know for a fact a lot of people i talk to would love a champ that just kinda ran around and literally tore people in half, had some new mechanic that actually made the game SCARY/horrifying

Pyke just kinda...pokes you with a water stick and jumps in the air a bit whilst fucking with your audio?

Warwick just...slaps you a bit then nibbles on your champ

Urgot just looks laughably pathetic

theres no champ that really fills the gory, dark, grotesque feeling in the game.

Buddy, this isn't God of War. League is a rated T game, so they can't just have a champ that tore people in half.

So care to explain what you mean by "super dark & gritty"? It's pretty clear you're specifically talking about in game & how they play rather than their lore or thematic (even though this is the SAS section)

I mean thematically too, aatrox is a "god of war" kinda thing, and he just smacks people with a blunt chunky ass sword, if anything eve is the most brutal champ in game to play, because her ult kinda fulfills the i guess fantasy of tearing apart an entire enemy team

Also you know what comes under a teen rating right?

From the ESRB website itself; Content Descriptors: Blood, Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol and Tobacco Blood - Depictions of blood Fantasy Violence - Violent actions of a fantasy nature, involving human or non-human characters in situations easily distinguishable from real life

Riot can get away with putting most things into their game as it is extremely easily distinguishable from real life

Edit: Even SAS wise, theres no champion whos lore/art has really made me go "holy shit thats fucking horrifying"

About the ESRB thing: Buddy you have to remember League is a global game. There are a number of regions like China with harsher restrictions on what flies in certain ratings. Thus would result in harsher censorship of a number of things. Plus, you're forgetting about Esports. They can't have shit that's too graphic to broadcast.

Of course Warwick "slaps" you & Pyke "pokes" you. They can't show something like Annie literally being mauled to death with all the blood & guts on some Mortal Kombat shit. You got to remember what sort of game League is & it's targeted audience. I doubt they would make a champ with abilities that graphic. There's also the fact that they would have to create animations to match those graphics deaths. With over 140 champs of varying shapes & sizes, we both know that ain't happening.

I'll be honest here, I don't really get what you're asking for.

You want some super dark, gritty & horrific champ that also plays super dark & gory in game? How can Riot make a champ like that without being too graphic? Yeah, there are ways to be dark without being gory. But you're specifically asking for "a champ that literally tore people in half" which implies you're more focused on the gory & graphic element. I like said, there's only so much Riot can do.
