Warwick and Camille as Foils to Each Other

midnight oil24··32 votes·3,432 views

I think that Camille and Warwick (new one of course) are perfect foils to each other. Both are assassin-murderers from Piltover and Zaun respectively. One is a high-ranking official who volunteered to augment her body for her family, while Warwick was kidnapped and forcibly augmented, yet uses his power for the "greater good" of Zaun. In game, Camille is a top laner who has to lock down a singe target then has to get out due to squishiness, while warwick hunts people through the jungle. Appearance-wise, Camille looks like someone who focuses on precision, using sharp blades and walking straight up, while WW is bestial, uses serrated claws, has tubes and chemicals in him from every which way,

now let's compare splash arts. Warwick is low to the ground in a dirty place, while Camille is standing on a tower. Where Camille is looking for her target, Warwick has just finished off his victim. The music for Camille is elegant, playing the violin and string instruments, while Warwick has gritty music with drums and electric guitar, a much more savage and primal theme

Someone was bound to

THere's a ship for everything. No need to sigh.

I know, yet I sigh. XD

Some part of me knows that I can put any two names into google and find a ship for it.

That sounds like a challenge. Kim Jong un and a tyrant of your choice, see if you can find a ship for it online.

OMG not five seconds and I need brain bleach.

I am NOT telling you what I searched for your own sanity.

Woah. I kind of want details now.

Eh, I've probably seen worse.

I agree, I think it's great. They represent their respective cultures really well.

Thanks! It took me a while to think of this. I actually forgot to put this in, but one little detail in their splashes is that Camille is shown from a higher angle, while Warwick is shown from a lower angle.

What -I- say is that I'm going to miss the Warwick vs Soraka lore very much.

midnight oil245 votes

But he does get a cheeky reference to it.

Same, I really liked the interaction between the two; I was hoping she was gonna pop up somehow in his new lore. Alas.

I thought it was fairly obvious, considering both of them act as vigilantes but are driven by diametrically opposed ideals. Furthermore, the beast is the one driven by idealism while the "civilized" individual is the one driven by ambition and a need to maintain their station. Nevermind the whole natural vs. mechanical symbolism - Riot really brought their A game when it comes to the dichotomy between those two characters.

midnight oil241 votes

Yeah. But still it deserves a mention on the boards, don't you think?

Ultîma2 votes

I never said it didn't? I even commended Riot's writing on the characters. I think it's some of their best work so far.

midnight oil242 votes

Whoop, sorry, didn't mean to sound rude. But yeah, it's really well done.

Camille's music isn't elegant. It's commanding and authoritative, but lacks the flow and grace of elegance.

midnight oil242 votes

Fair point. I still feel a bit of elegance but it's sort of a combo of the two, listening closer.

well thought out

Aawww, thanks ! [slayer-jinx-catface]

I noticed this too, it seems so perfect I had to ask riot in their ama how much they talked to Camille's writer when hashing out the stories. But it seems like other than doing the joint piltover/zaun event there wasn't a conscious effort to steer the characters towards being foils for each other.

midnight oil241 votes

Yeah. But still, they fit really well together.

man, this makes me want warden camille to be a thing so they can officially have opposing skin lines (warden camille and marauder warwick)

midnight oil241 votes

Holy crap that would be so awesome. I'd totally buy both skins if they did that.

VelvetCrotch1 votes

nice idea but officer camille and a skin for ww like pickpocket twitch/ eve would go pretty well too imho.^^

KangtheKnight1 votes

They are most assuredly opposites, and that makes them wonderful foes/frienemies. I could see a joint story where they're hunting the same prey and it turns out so so deliciously deadly.

midnight oil243 votes

First off, the way you emphasized the "deliciously" makes this sound a lot dirtier. Second, I would pay big bucks to watch two of my favorite champs working together.

VelvetCrotch1 votes

nice statement i like both themes pretty much too. its going to be more interesting if u know that camille apparently hired killer ww years ago to kill vi's parents. so camille elegant b*tch and ww rude anit-hero.
