My take on the darkin support and more

Ao Dracona·8/10/2018, 5:13:56 AM·3 votes·4,406 views

As we all know the darkin have a jungler(Rhaast), top (Aatrox), and an adc (Varus), In Varus’s comic he mentions 5 darkin r still left which obviously leaves us with 2 more darkin left in what the community presumes that there will be a darkin mid and support

I’m here to talk about my ideas on the support I love the darkin race and I love playing support so here’s what I have to say

Should the darkin support be an enchanter like lulu and Janna or a tank like Braun and Ali?

Personally i think a tank darkin support would fit the character more I don’t play Janna or lulu do idk their play styles that much but I don’t see a darkin staying back and healing and shielding the team, I see a darkin rather go in with the team and peeling and tanking honestly all the darkin crave for worthy fights and I think that fits a darkin tank supp very well, the weapon he would have would most likely be a shield he’d be the evil counterpart to braum just like how Varus is the evil counterpart to Ashe

Also ik this is off topic but it’s a cool idea I wanted to share What if we had champion skins that have a darkin theme like how different themes of other champions fit into other champs from different regions etc Soulstealer vayne, soulstealer glad, gravelord azir, and soulhunter kayn giving off a shadow isles style

Bilgewater Katarina,Bilgewater Swain, and Bucaneer Tristana obviously giving the bilgewater style

And the latest cosmic skins, ashe, lulu are dedicated to Aurelion sol

And many more Ionia- Soaring Sword Noxus- Noxian Poppy Shurima- sand Guardian Kha, sandstorm ekko and Kat Void- Void fizz and Illaoi

Although we have yet to see theme merging for demacia, targon, zaun, and piltover I think a darkin theme would be cool to add to some favorite champions

Darkin Shen would work because he has an iconic weapon which is his spirit blade

Darkin Oriana same reason for Shen because of her ball

Darkin Vi with her iconic gauntles

Darkin Sivr her chalicar was the lock that held the prison of renekton and xerath so still a big deal weapon

Basically champions with iconic and legendary weapons could really be worth of a darkin themed skin

Share ur thoughts and thanks for reading ^_^

Remember the Darkin were the ones who brought blood magic to Noxus, and it was with blood magic they twisted their Ascended forms to become more powerful. So there is still a possibility of an Enchanter type Darkin support that heals and shields allies with blood magic.

unique ideas for darkin would be the darkin axe the darkin mace the darkin spear the darkin staff the darkin whip the darkin hammer and the darkin shield

I don't know.

Aatrox and Rhaast, although Bruisers, already fill out the niche of being these "run straight into the enemy" bois. It would feel bland if the next Darkin is exactly the same.

Also:

all the darkin crave for worthy fights

This isn't true.

Aatrox is probably the only one you could say would want this, but ultimately he just wants to die.

Rhaast just wants to kill shit, he doesn't really care if it's "worthy" or not.

And Varus wants to awaken the rest of the Darkin and become slave overlords again.

None of them crave these "worthy fights" that you speak of.

Personally, I'd rather have a wiser old Darkin Enchanter-esque support that inspires blood lust and anger in his/her allies, sort of like Aatrox's old lore.

Maybe imprisoned within the "Darkin Staff" or something.

The Darkin will, with near certainty, be the Darkin Scales. Using the chains of the scale to attack and the dishes of the scale to shield.

It will be a female dark, winged, chain wielding support who can shield herself and her allies. Her gameplay will mostly involve playing from range, locking down enemies with powerful chain roots, and blocking huge amounts of damage with a powerful magic shield. Her ultimate will cause her to go in deep, despite being a relatively squishy champion, and lock down the entire enemy team, relying on her shield to get in, stay in, and keep them locked down.

Pretty sure we have lancer for demacia, hextech for piltover, and chemtech for zaun.

I’d like one that heals with lifesteal, maybe lands a skillshot on them and then heals an ally by stealing hp or by stealing some damage or even mana
