Zaunite/Piltovian with Ionian ancestors

So, it's time for some talk about champion archetypes again. What I am really missing in this game is a champion either from Piltover or Zaun, but with Ionian ancestors.

It just makes sense for me. Piltover and Zaun are described as a cultural melting pot in the new lore, yet there is little in the champion roster actually telling us that. The only examples I can come up with are these 2:

Ekko Unfortunately, I can't find source anymore, but if I am not mistaken, then his ancestors were Freljordian? Urgot Former Noxian citizen, yet living in Zaun to cause chaos.

For places which are called cultural melting pots, this is a bit sad. I would love to see a champion with Ionian roots from there. We recently got Pyke, who is a Bilgewater champion with a Freljordian background as far as I know and I think Riot should keep doing stuff like that.

The only Ionians we know residing in another nation are: Sona XinZhao And both of them are living in Demacia (which is a bit strange, since Demacia is highly xenophobic, especially towards magic and Ionia is a culture highly associated with magic).

Both of them seem to hold up the spirit of their nation, being about balance, harmony, and honor. I would like a champion with Ionian ancestors, who has completely forsaken the culture. For example, a chembaron who fights dirty, is selfish and just cares for the own profit.


TL,DR: Piltover and Zaun are my favourite regions, but I have a thing for Asian girls, so give me one from there. [sg-shisa]

Why no mention about Baron Saito Tekeda in a thread about possible Ionian ancestry?

Ekko and Pyke's ancestors were from Freljord?

The fuck?

Then why're they black?
