What kind of champs, based off of character or looks, would you want to see in League?
Now after playing the game for quite some time now and just general knowledge, you can't just make up a million champs just because you have a good character or backstory for them; you also have to have gameplay set and what they're playestyle is, etc. But honestly, as much as I enjoy a champs gameplay, I just prefer their character, their looks and their backstories more (mostly due to me starting to hate the game after playing it for so long). Urgot has his shotgun knees and tale about strength from pain, Shyvana is a bad-ass half dragon with a fairly tragic backstory, and Jhin is a psychopathic killer that believes he's making art and dresses like he's doing just that (but with the plus of guns).
What I want to know is what are some champs you want to see added into League that are more based around their appearance, like maybe another Yordle, their character, like a drill master or witch doctor, or even what their character is like if they were in a story, like if they're a realist or optimistic, hero or villain, etc.
Here's a quick summary from my list:
-
Underlord/Pit Lord type champ: This is one of the few that I absolutely desire as a champ right now. In my short time of Dota 2 I had Underlord released and when I tried him out, he was fun, felt menacing and powerful. That's the kind of champ I want Riot to bring into the game. It'd also make for a good proper antagonist against the entire world of League as the few that are proper villains, like say Lissandra, feel more or less limited to a region or some, Zed, are updated to not have a too harsh of a light shown on them. I know the Void could be considered to fill this role but until we get a lore update on that I still think this could work. Hell somehow make him from the Void if you want, just give me my pit lord!
-
Orc: OK before you downvote me now, just hear me out on two reasons why I wish this. 1: Orcs are pretty much a staple in most fantasy games/books/movies, or at least the most popular ones. Warcraft/Warhammer have the most iconic orcs out there, Lord of the Rings game a good twist to theres from the whole constant green look, hell Magic the Gathering is now putting more Orcs in their sets recently since Tarkir. 2: Someone recently made a post about them possibly being part of the Kumungu, which would somehow fit them in the world : Link . Maybe not the best way but it's still a way. Also while on the topic...
-
Goblins: Again, they're somewhat a staple in most fantasy settings. You could work them in like they're part of the orcs or lesser orcs actually or even some sort of subspecies Yordles from deep below or heavily corrupted by magic.
-
Anti-Paladin/Anti-Hero Demacian: So for this one I've always imagined some sort of character that takes things to their own hands and believes what they're doing is right, no matter how cruel it might be, similar to the Templars in the Dragon Age games or a chaotic neutral paladin in DnD. I also want them to be from Demacia because as it stands right now there still don't have that factor of any sort of corruption. Some may argue Vayne but I find her to just be more batshit crazy and honestly could just be an independent character, she doesn't have a lot of tie-ins to Demacia outside of her family was part of it. I want a character that actually has a good connection to the faction, maybe having them as part of the military as it feels like every single champ from there is a part of the military in one way or another. Really I just want a hero from Demacia that actually shows some more of the bad that can come from it rather than having it be all nearly noble characters.
-
Elephant/Mammoth champ - Back to Magic again briefly, there is a card called Avalanche Tusker, essentially depicting a humanoid elephant/mammoth (depending on the art) warrior on it. Idk about you but I think this could be a cool champ to add to the Freljord lineup, especially as an ally for Sej or even Liss maybe (cause Ashe has way to many allies). And with other champs like Volibear and Ornn that are being of similar nature I don't see why this couldn't be an option.
Anyways, what are some champs that you want to see that are based on character or appearance?
and especially vehicle users like
, it shouldn't hurt to have another rider champion to use this kind of weapon. He could be a horseman or a wyvern rider. I'm busy creating a concept based on this character. It's gonna take awhile for me to finish it.
. I mean his looks alone makes him look like a protagonist. But the kind I'm talking about are the ones you see in classic fairytales. You know, the one who fights with a sword and shield to fight an evil dragon and saves the damsel in distress? That kind of protagonist. Maybe a King Arthur champion.
did pretty good with the sound of his ultimate.
rework got freaky with the ultimate shredding his victim completely. Meanwhile, being hit by his ultimate and chained up also meant putting chains on your screen. So let's combine the horror theme'd champion with the scary screen effects. It'd be like some kind of typical jumpscare or maybe have the screen have this unsettling effect like when the hud starts to decay or when your items start to rearrange themselves.
kinda fits but I want someone who is more like Deku from MHA someone who isnt cocky or rude but just a really hard worker who is super positive.
and
kinda fits the mold but I'm thinking more like Thanos from the Avengers. Some big bad guy everyone would be afraid of, even those who work under them. I think if the void would have some kind of general that would work really well!
and
is really fun, more please.
and
are both pretty cool. But I would like more of a gritty steampunk protagonist.
get pretty close. But my idea would be more someone that qwe are all spells and r would be with a sword or warhammer that changes all the abilities to different attacks with the melee weapon. I imagine q to be something like corki r some small skill shot projectile that is somewhat spammable. W could ignite the weapon and have auto attacks apply a dot. E could be another spell or maybe some kind of dash. But then R would change qwe into different types of sword strikes. Q would be a long range cleave kinda like kayne w but skinnier, w would be a half circle sweep in front of you. E would be a lunge like fiora q. and R would just be a blast in an area around you like Riven W but a little bigger and no stun but just damage. They could be a lightening mage who when they use R creates a sword of electricity and when they Recasts R stabs it into the ground and it explodes. Dealing big damage but ending the ult. Basically a combination of what I love about
and
get really close but I dislike the transformations. I just wish I had more of feeling like a primal beast but also majestic at the same time. I want to feel like animal that is intelligent and maybe even can speak English. We do already have

and
though which all kind of fill the role of big animal champs as well so this one probably will never happen.
