Vampires in League of Legend?

Why isn't there a single one? Alright, we have , but everyone will tear you apart if you call this blood mage a vampire (still don't know why). We have trolls, furrballs, bears, werewolf, gods, all sorts of undeads (ghosts, lich, zombies), but not a single vampire? Why? Some people may start complaining like "it's too generic", while LoL has all common things from fantasy universes. Why? And since when have you seen badass vampires? Since Castlevania? Or old vampire movies which came out before 2000? There are so many shapeshifters and animals in this game, but not a single vampire who is clearly one. There are so many possibilities to put one into this game. Some examples: one of the Jarvans being a vampire in reclusion, one of the Watchers being an ancient vampire (even Darkin can be a vampire). Riot, please, do not abandon such opportunity. http://img.cheathappens.com/walls/o_castevanialordsofshadow_1_3.jpg http://img3.cache.netease.com/photo/0031/2015-01-06/AF9RO5JS43UD0031.550x.0.jpg http://www.beyondhollywood.com/uploads/2011/02/bram-stokers-dracula1.jpg

Because by necessity any vampire character would have to center around similar abilities to Vlad or Aatrox, I.E. heavy sustain through spellvamp/lifesteal-esque abilities and passive. And if there's one thing Riot isn't good at balancing, it's sustain.

Runeterra = Rune, referring to magic; Terra referring to "earth," planet.

Bloodmages (Hemomancers) are the Runeterran - a world full of magic - form of vampires. Vlad pretty much IS a vampire. I'm sure he does immensely vampire-like things, such as seducing maids with his Noxian charm, and murdering them in the night. :^)

That's kind of what he exists for. If you read his lore, he can't even suppress his lust for blood. He will crave it like nothing else - seek it, pursue it, hunger for it in every hour of the day and night that he's without it. You can realllyyy see this in his Blood Lord skin's VO.

That last one looks like Qty....just saying. But ya we need a real vampire champion, Not some one who feels, or acts like one.

You are forgetting Aatrox. His sword eats blood which gives him power. It stores the blood from his victims and when Aatrox gets mortally wounded his sword gives him back health based on the amount of blood.

I think a vampire champ should be more focused on bats and so on to differentiate him/her from vladimir.

I think Evelynn was confirmed to be a Vampire.
