Anyone getting tired of having celestial beings and mythic gods becoming champions?
I kinda missed just having ordinary people with extraordinary talents.

Not really because we have a crap ton of people with more or less ordinary talents. The celestial beings and mythical gods still exist in the minority, and it's about damn time we got to explore this side of Runeterra imo.
EDIT: Figured I'd add some personal context to this. For me, these champions who exist on higher tiers of existence and have extraordinary powers are far more interesting than any human character in the game. The ways they work, how they even exist and the manner they go about their business is deeply interesting to me because I'm more likely to be invested in the stories of the strange oddities specifically because they're nothing like humans. They don't think or act like we do and trying to understand that's just part of the fun of those kinds of characters in general, where as humans aren't like that to me. You can understand people and relate to them. You can't do that as easily with non-human creatures, and that's the main allure for me.
Definitely. Everything about Kindred in particular was dripping with literal pretentiousness that really irked me, like the grease from a burger in a McDonalds Happy Meal. Randomly making Pantheon a god dude just rubbed salt into the wound. Kind of removes the impact of characters being godly if EVERYONE is like that :l
You complain champion lore is too much, but if it wasn't you'd complain it was always just ordinary people. Listen there are no regular people in league. I mean you have the embodiment of death in karthus. You have the undead, vampires, werewolves, you have whatever you want. If you don't like a champion don't play them. Stick to the old ones.
Aurelion Sol is a bad character because he cheapens everyone else's story. It's not about the character itself (though any notion of Aurelion Sol being some enigmatic creature that thinks in ways we don't is laughable based on his preview, he's just a big cosmic dickhead so far. Bard fit that archetype much better). It's about how they interact with the setting.
Bard didn't come off as a billionth as powerful as Aurelion Sol did (though I'm sure Bard is going to suddenly be his equal), if the cinematic is to be taken literally. Aurelion Sol is a power so grand he literally makes the struggles of every other character, even the Ascended, meaningless.
Why would Batman exist in a world with Superman? DC still has yet to answer this question. Although considering Aurelion Sol's apparent malevolence, I guess the better question is: Why does humanity exist in a world with no Superman, but with there still being a Darkseid?
The power creep is getting really stupid. Were Aurelion Sol just an aspect of the setting's cosmology like Nagakabouros it would be one thing, but he's a champion. Which is to say, a protagonist, with his own story.
I mean it is called League of LEGENDS. But yes, I'd like to see more semi normal dudes, regular people fighting for a cause, not forces of nature trying to balance it by fighting mortals
You are right.
It has been like... a month since we got a human champion.
Pls stop this madness rito
I'm up to snuff, and got's me an ace machine!
It's not Draven, it's Draaaaaaaaven.
Your will, my hands.
Just a Yordle with a hammer.
chimes eerily
Aurelion Sol: Soon...
We JUST got an ordinary person with an extraordinary talent.
