Legends of Runeterra cards you wish to be champions

Chembaron Yamada··32 votes·21,206 views

I think many people will feel the same for quite some of the cards shown in Legends of Runeterra, they created some really interesting cards which we would love to see as actual champions in League of Legends.

For me, Corina Veraza is that one. https://img.rankedboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Corina-Veraza-Legends-of-Runeterra.png

It is a different approach to the alchemist theme. Singed, while a fun champion, doesn't really represent the alchemist theme very well in the game. Corina Veraza could have been an opportunity to give us another take of the alchemy theme, but with a slightly other approach by giving us a biologist, she is a chembaron who researches the plants she is raising in her cultivair.

This is something that I wanted in the game for a long time (even if my approach was someone who uses their biological knowledge to fight the diseases spread by the Zaun Grey). Hell, they even gave her a spell in the card game called Magnum Opus, emphasising her alchemy theme even more....

Unfortunately, we surely won't get such a champion in the future anymore since she is more of a side character in this card game now...


How about you guys? Are there any cards in that game that you would have loved to see implemented as champions?

I'd love to see Cithria. For some reason I'm completely fascinated by the fact that she has two cards. One representing her as a fresh recruit, one showing her as battle hardened veteran. https://cdn1.sixmorevodka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/08000658/CITHRIA-OF-CLOUDFIELD.jpg https://cdn1.sixmorevodka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/08000657/CITHRIA-THE-BOLD.jpg

Three actually, and a cameo in Garens first form.

This seems to be her between the naive and the hero form: https://img.rankedboost.com/wp-content/plugins/legends-of-runeterra/assets/card-images/01DE036.png

"Everyone I met, every journey I took taught me something new. But the more I learned and the stronger I became, the more I realized I had much further to go..." ~ Cithria, Vanguard Squire

And here she walks by in the background, you can recognize her by the absurldy large scabbard. https://cdn1.sixmorevodka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/15110703/GAREN-L01.jpg

She has a third one that's the in-between. Vanguard Squire.

She's also on Garen's level 1 card in the background (her little card).

It'd be neat to see another champion that could fulfill the Brigitte from Overwatch theme with the traditional Leona / Taric gameplay niche. I'd honestly use her kit to combine Taric & Leona's stylistics into a Solo-Lane champ that has supportive functions.

It'd be more balance-able in League than it was in OW.

Healer / Tank / Bruiser hybrid.

She actually has three, vanguard squire is also her. The redeemer could be her but I don't think she is because redeemer has dreads but squire does have a quote relating to the image

Been wanting him to be a champion since Echoes Left Behind.

He looks more like a generic background wraith more than a shadow isles Champion tbh.

What do you expect a wraith to look like? Look at Mordekaiser, Thresh, Hecarim, and Kalista.

Arakadia2 votes

All those champions have something unique and look clearly champion worthy. Ledros looks like a background extra you see in an army of thousands of look alikes, but in hd. I didn't say he doesn't look like a wraith, I said he looks to generic and unimportant especially with how similar he is too other random shadow isle wraiths we see.

https://i.imgur.com/HfoFeEm.jpg[] COMMANDER Ledros, lover of Kalista, nothing but a generic, background wraith with nothing special about him at all. Definitely not worthy of being a champion. /s

Arakadia3 votes

Despite your sarcasm, that is exactly my point. He is (somewhat) special, but he doesn't look like it in that art.

Chembaron Yamada3 votes

Maybe you can elaborate a bit more here.

I really don't see what makes Mordekaiser's design stand out more as "championworthy" than Ledros. Both are wraiths in metal armor for me, I don't really see why Mordekaiser is more special in your eyes than Ledros when it comes to appearance.

ZackTheWaffleMan3 votes

because Mordekaiser is already a champion, and Ledros being a champion would be like if Riot released another Brackern (Skarner) or another scarecrow Fiddlesticks

the niche of "spooky suit of armor ghost warrior guy" has already been filled. sure, his sword/shield looks unique, but that's the main thing that's unique about him.

Chembaron Yamada3 votes

Well, designwise there are some precedences for that, aren't there?

There has already been a living tree guy in the game: Maokai But they gave us another one: Ivern Both are in appearance just an interpretation of an "ent", what makes them different from each other are their personalities, lore, abilities.

ZackTheWaffleMan3 votes

maokai and ivern look drastically different and are very different interpretations of ents, while ledros/morde have a more similar (and admittedly cooler) aesthetic

Ràbbìt2 votes

Yeah Riot plz make it happen we need Ledros as champion I can help you with the abilities and balancing just announce him!!

Such a mysterious character, perhaps even connected to Kindred in some way?

Or maybe she has a strange connection to the death realm, you know, like the yoricks malédiction: She can ses and help the Deads to repose in peace Just my theory

Scarmother Vrynna. https://www.pcgamesn.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Legends-of-Runeterra-Scarmother-Vrynna-900x506.jpg Althought is more that I would love to see more lore of her, that watching her in the game proper. Even while I'm an Avarosan at heart, she just looks so cool to me.

Corina Veraza by far! Like she looks like a benevolent version of Zyra. Seems to also be dominating the plants and nature.

Chembaron Yamada5 votes

I don't know if she is really "dominating" plants (I guess you mean in the way that she can control them like Zyra?).

I think she is just researching them and using biology for crafts. She criticises Piltover for just using steel for their creations, while she thinks that living cells hold much greater power. So maybe she is some kind of bio-engineer, but I kinda doubt that she really controls plants.

PokladnicaZla2 votes

She really isn't so benevolent as you might think. Her card description: "The narrow-minded Piltovans know only gears and metal, and cannot appreciate the delicate art in every stem, every petal, every cell of my cultivair. I will craft them an undeservedly graceful doom."

Another card associated with her ( Magnus Opus) : "I told them that every achievement had its cost. I didn't tell them who would pay it." - Corina Veraza

Shame we would be getting another Parent-nature-Wrath character :/

Idk where to find the actual cards, but. https://i.imgur.com/zyywj4i.png[]

Well, personally I would prefer the first Chembaron champion in the game not to be a joke.... But yeah, I can see why people would enjoy seeing these guys fooling everyone.

Also, here you can take a look at the cards: https://rankedboost.com/legends-of-runeterra/

You just don't want to admit that you're really 2 Yordles in a trench coat. [slayer-jinx-wink]

chempunks need representation in the game, closest thing is jinx rn. and some kid shredding some punk rifs like a more offensive sona is a pretty dope thematic.

https://cdn1.sixmorevodka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/08000453/SUMPSNIPE-SCAVENGER.jpg

pretty sure this is the same kid from ekko's cinematic, but i think he'd be cool with a bunch of chemtech enhanced pets.

Not sure why, he just seems like he'd be a fun character.

Yeah yeah, there are a lot of cool characters in the game... at first i thougth that Ledros, the 2 yordle chembarons or Cithria would be my pick... but then i remembered...

Ledros. didnt care much to have him as a champion till I saw his art

https://rankedboost.com/legends-of-runeterra/mageseeker-persuader/

I want a mageseeker champion in general, sadly we don't get a named one amongst the LoR cards, but this guy is the best looking among the various cards representing one. Alternatively considering her conservative views and her being married to the head of Mageseeker order, it would be interesting to see Tianna as a champion a bit further down the story where she perhaps becomes a member.

she who wanders... riot will nerf that card for sure. its way too strong. but i really love her art. i can imagine myself playing shadow of the colossus and suddenly that giant lady just wanders around.

Going to throw in votes for:

  1. Commander Ledros
  2. Greenglade Duo
  3. Scarmother Vrynna

The last one especially would be really cool. She looks like she has stories to tell.

Is there anywhere where I can find all the cards/art? I have some great champ ideas but am not the best artist, so would like to steal the designs. If they already exist, why not?

Chembaron Yamada3 votes

https://rankedboost.com/legends-of-runeterra/ First I encountered so far to look at them was this site.

I'll have a gander. Cheers

If you want to see the full artworks, but without the card details, take a look at sixmorevodka.com. They did the art.
