Darkin Race

Seeing as how Varus has now been officially recognized as one of the 5 remaining Darkin on Runeterra, I'd like to speculate what kind of champions the other two Darkin will be like. From what I can tell the five remaining Darkin are essentially the horsemen of the apocalypse, Kayn represents the Pale Rider, Aatrox represents the Red Rider, Varus represents the White Rider. Now there is one Horsemen left, or so some people would think. Some beliefs actually have the 4 common horsemen with Death arriving after the other 4 have taken their toll. The four are: War, Pestillence, Famine, and Conquest. So far we have itterations in game for War, Death, and Conquest, this leaves Pestillence (Disease) and Famine up for the Design team to play around with.

Now that we have ascertained which Horsemen are left we can guess which roles they are most likely to be put into. If the Design team wanted to make it so that the five Darkin are playable as a team then the last two horsemen would have to fight into the Mid and Support roles Primarily. Pestillence could be a support similar to Leona in the ideology that she boosts the damage her allies do through her passive sunlight marks, Famine would be left to the mid-lane with a possible gimmick around health and mana manipulation such as lose X health and Y mana for every consecutive 3 minutes that they don't attack an enemy champion or something along the lines of making the champion feel starved.

Those are just some thoughts I have about what the Design team could do when they do decide to release the two remaining Darkin Champions. For all we know they could cast the remaining Darkins similarly to how Darksiders portrays the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
