Can We Just Have a Normal Fantasy Dragon Added to the Game?

I'm not talking about some half-dragon, demigod star dragon, or anything close to that. I'm talking normal, extremely powerful, and gigantic dragon. Something that breaths some form of element, flies overhead, and brings general dread (or maybe inspiration, who knows) to those who fall under it's shadow. I feel like we have dodged around making a standard issue Dragon enough. I feel like this is one thing Riot does that they need to stop doing. They can't just put out a concept everyone loves and leave it as is, but with it's own cool personality, powers, and such. They have to completely transform them into something that isn't your standard issue type of that character. While I understand League has to bring it's own kinds of characters to the table that are generally unique to it, Riot should realize that there are some of us who enjoy the classics so to speak. Some of us love a standard issue werewolf, vampire, dragon, etc.. Can we get a standard Dragon sometime in the future? I hope the presence of Aurelion Sol and Shyvana won't prevent this since both aren't really the kind of dragon I'm talking about, both being more of a hybrid between a dragon and something else entirely.

Probably not. Riot's starting to do this thing where all their champions are unique and marketable. You can't just have a werewolf, you have to have a werewolf with a mecha arm and green chemical ooze. You can't have a dragon, you have to have a star dragon. And so on. I can't really remember when the last "normal" anything was released.

Probably Ahri, who is just a normal kitsune. But there might have been someone after her.

We have the dragon in the pit, and its elemental brethren. It would be too redundant to then create a regular dragon champion. Riot does not want to stick to regular things anyway. They want weird shit like Kindred and Tahm, and I agree with them.

Riot will never do this. They don't want standard things. Their ice mages, for example, do NOT look like normal ones. One is an ancient witch and the other is a cyrophoenix. Their fire mages - a little girl and an ancient spirit. Then we have Ivern.

Riot's whole theme is to NOT be standard. I understand it would be cool though. I personally want a champion that's just a regular ole' doggo. Cause doggos are adorable.

If only they changed Shyvana's kit so that she would feel like a dragon.....
