No Love for Helmet Bro (No hate for Mohawk Bro), Demacian vs. Noxian Soldier Representation

Hi Story Forums,

It's been a while since the Vel'Koz release, when we were introduced to a brand of intrepid soldier that riot reffered to as "Generic Demacian Soldier". Since then there has been a lot of thought by fans about this character, even going so far as to make up backstories and possible champion lore's for the fan dubbed "Helmet Bro"

So far Helmet Bro and his ilk appear to be getting trampled in Malphite's Splash, disintegrated in Vel'koz's Splash, petrified in Cassiopeia's Splash, ruptured in Cho'Gath's Splash, liquified Kog'Maw's Splash, and most recently in Sion's Splash, simply stomped out.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "That's badass, it makes all of those champions seem like really tough enemies!", and you're right. They are however, always being mercilessly killed. These Demacian soldiers are certainly brave, but always seem to bite off more than they can chew. My point?

Where are the Generic Noxian Soldiers? "Equal representation!", cried the masses. Do Noxian soldiers never find themselves at the mercy of some magnificent beast or Demacian warrior(And by mercy I am referring to the lack thereof)? Wouldn't you like to see Riot's grown-up take on Noxian ground troops? Maybe it'll be Tryndamere slicing them down (in the barbarian pacification campaigns) or Shyvana burning them alive! Alistar isn't fond of them either, but there are too many possibilities to list.

So let riot know you want to see their take on Noxian Soldiers. Something badass, like the Raedsel Guard, and by all that is unholy, don't return to a style that gives the internet an excuse to coin the term "Mohawk Bro" http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110729015459/leagueoflegends/images/9/98/JoJ_DemacianVsNoxian.jpg

I think that we'll be seeing our friendly generic noxian soldiers .... at some point in future :) soon(tm)(tm) Although I don't know if they could ever replace Helmet Bro, just can't keep that guy down.

And purely because HB needed some love, I just thought "Why not have Taric, the Gem Knight come to rescue him?" I mean, why not? Makes sense to me.

Somebody pointed that out yet: that is no demacian soldier. Actually looks more like a Noxian, with the bold and dark metal gear; look at Darius and see the similiarities ( also darius has more particolar details like spikes because he is an elite soldier .

However that is not the point.

Helmet Bro is factionless. Helmet Bro is nameless. Helmet Bro is genderless ( in some cases only the helm and no futher indication is given, so there could be an other Helmet sis?). So let's not try to make dualities or some cheesy background, HB trascends that stuff because that is the community/the player/some meta shit that is beyond Valoran existence.

peace.

EDIT: because today i am brainstuck and i write like Kog' s E

And where are the Freljord troops? Sejuani has an army right? Or the other Bandle City scouts? I'm sure everyone would appreciate seeing dead yordles that look like Teemo.

I know that Helmet Bro is Demacian, but i dont think that he is from the army of Demacia...

By the way... someone realized that the Noxians of the second picture (The Jarvan VS Swain) have 4 eyes?
