Cool Archetype ideas for Future Champion Reworks!

As a summoner (Ekko MainEkko ) who enjoys reworks, (I love 'em, they put a smile on my face, :D ) I feel that riot has done a great job recently with reworking champions, and I feel that one very important aspect of reworking champions is the archetype, or characteristic attributes that are made for a champion. For instance, personally, I feel that the updated WarwickWarwick , portrays a scary, ravenous wolf, with a better backstory and portrayal than the pre-update Warwick. Another example is GalioGalio , who has a ton of character and opportunity to be something unique to league, and is special and distinctive to the other champs. Recently, The preview for the reworked UrgotUrgot , to me at least, is a masterpiece to League Of Legends, and I feel that Riot did more than a spotless job with the rework, for how they portray torture and agony, while gameplay wise, looks spotless, with a brilliant job of portraying a tank, which I know Riot wanted to bring to League, and did an awesome job with the Urgot rework. I know that Riot has a ton of ideas and plans for future reworks, though I also know they appreciate feedback from the community, and I think this is a great way to reach out, and show some cool ideas that we have for potential future archetypes/personalities/attributes for future reworked champs, and here's a list for some interesting Ideas.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

COOL FUTURE CHAMPION ARCHETYPE IDEAS:

SwainSwain :

As a Noxus Leader and Tactician, and for inspiration for this discussion, I always thought that Swain would always be a cool idea for a Godfather-type character, such as being the Noxus Version of Vito Corleone, who has ties to many other people in Noxus and Valoran, and would be the big boss to for example DariusDarius or DravenDraven , or keep ties to the Du Couteau clan, which holds TalonTalon and KatarinaKatarina . As a man of huge stature, he would be merciless, though loyal to allies, such as Vito Corleone was, and a gentleman in game.


NunuNunu : I always saw Nunu as a cheeky little kid, who would cause mischief, while being watched over by his Yeti, Willump. As a sort of comic relief for Freljord, his childlike nature should be highlighted, like how AnnieAnnie is presented as a little girl in every way possible. His childness should counterbalance the seriousness of SejuaniSejuani and OlafOlaf .

AmumuAmumu : I always felt that Amumu was very outdated, gameplay and Archetype wise both, and I think Amumu should honestly be a Debbie downer, rain on everybody's parade, stretch the archetype as far as possible. He should represent depression, like that little kid who had a birthday, but some other kid stepped all other his cake. He should strive to make friends, though this insane amount of effort is what drives people away.

Well, those were my first 3 ideas, I know they may not be that developed, but I'll still think it over, and see how I can detail them. If you chill dudes have any cool or interesting ideas for archetypes , please post in the discussion below, as we can chat together to share ideas. Thank you for reading, and have fun on the rift.

                                                                                                                                 -JazzyMcJagger :)

In my opinion, they should rework Nunu to a yordle. We are lacking a yordle with an ice theme (Gnar is technically Freljordian, but nothing in his kit and appearance says ice. He feels more like a jungle character).

Doesn't rule out the childish and playful nature you had in mind, as far as we know, yordle are seen as humans by most people because of illusionary magic. And if the theory, that yordles are representing ideals of their region, is true, it could give another point of view to Freljord. Gnar represents brute force and anger pretty well, the kind of ideal Sejuani and Olaf would stand for. Nunu could be the kind side of Freljordians, helping each other in the cold. Basically what Braum would stand for.

Irelia as a telekinetic blade user. Seeing the new Urgot maintaining his ranged capabilities although being a tank gives me hope of seeing a Irelia that uses her telekinetic mastery for more than just show. Irelia has a potential to flesh out Ionian military so i think for sure she will see her lore updated with the eventual Ionian update. I see her as a strong female leader trying her best to better all of Ionia, basically the 'Ashe of Ionia' but less extreme.

I feel like Amumu should give away a short fear effect every X seconds, y'know, Emphasize the fact that no one really wants to be around him/make him feel lonely.
