Whoops, our bad. Fiora will be reinstated as the "The Grand Duelist" in the next update.

In the future, it's possible that some Champs may get new titles, but only when it clearly fits their thematic better - it's not something to change lightly, or without careful consideration.

But for Fiora, "The Grand Duelist" does the trick - there's no need for us to change it.

Thanks!

Champions might be getting new titles in the future. I think this is pretty neat. Some people were up in arms about Fiora's new title on the PBE, but a Rioter came down and said she'll be reinstated as "The Grand Duelist". I understand why people dislike the experimental title, but new titles? I can get behind them, given the right circumstances.

Take Rek'Sai for example, poor girl. Look at her brethern's titles and what they insinuate.

Chogath The Terror of the Void: Something from outer space that's scary. KogMaw The Mouth of the Abyss: Something scary that's also an insatiable eater. Khazix The Voidreaver: Something from outer space scary that takes what it wants. Velkoz The Eye of the Void: Something from outer space scary that watches. RekSai The Void Burrower: Something from outer space that makes holes in the ground.

I didn't realize the tunnels constituted Rek'Sai's greater identity! I thought she was a snarling, unrelenting beast that was not without a certain animal cunning! My bad. Seriously, Rito. People weren't happy about this at Rek'Sai's release, and I doubt they're fine with it now. The old girl deserves better.

Now, since I'm a stickler for uniformity and consistent themes, I'd give Kog'Maw and maybe even Kha'Zix new titles. This is what I'd do.

KogMaw The Jaws of the Void: I know jaw rhyme with Kog'Maw, but it would've been redundant to call him the "Maw of the Void" (which I think might've been cooler). Also, by omitting "Abyss" from Koggy's title, that frees up the word for future use by Riot without accidentally connecting Kog to it. Khazix The Reaver of the Void: THE UNIFORMITY.

RekSai The WRATH of the Void: Now there's something that strikes a cord! Were I not familiar with League's roster and read that title, I'd know immediately that it's from outer space and is angry. Now that's a strong title!

Can anyone else think of a champion whose title doesn't match up with their character?

Malphite Depending on how much they change his lore, may or may not be applicable.

Mordekaiser Riot is pushing him away from metal manipulation and more towards soul desecration. Desecrator of Souls sounds suitably evil, and he does violate someone's soul with his ultimate.

Vladimir Crimson Reaper is incredibly vague.

Evelynn Widowmaker is too selective; she murders everything, not just men, and seduction has nothing to do with her kit that would suggest otherwise.

Alistar If we ever get another minotaur, his title will be rather awkward.

Other than the ones already mentioned... hm...

Cassiopeia

Sure she's a lamia but there's nothing particularly snake-like or any semblance of "embracing" in her kit (let's be honest, Twin Fangs is a glorified magic missile)

Maybe Janna

"The Storm's Fury" sounds more like a wind-based mage than a wind-based support

Riven - All The Cancer. I feel like is title is more accurate.

I dont mind any new title, so long it at least has some connection to the champion. Also all of them are ether to have the word "the" at the beginning of the title or just dont have it, there cant be inconsistency between all the champion titles like that.

Teemo "The Hellspawn"

(I had to do this.)

Fizz - the undeniable piece of --- stain.

It's a habit I caught from this game much like those anti-Riven folk.

So Pantheon may no longer be called the "Artisan of War"?

Neat. Awkward title anyway.

The Paragon of War. Rakkor's Champion.

Maybe change Swain from "Master Tactician" to "Grand General"

Morgana - If they change their lore to make it that they're from Runeterra or something like that, they might change her title. I have nothing against "Fallen Angel" just thought.

Lissandra is called as the Ice Witch, you dont say? I would like more if it was '' Seeker of the Watchers ''.

Ahri, Alistar and Anivia have the same problem. They're called with their race. (I know Lissandra is Iceborn, but nearly same thing, it's just like Iceborn mage type).

#Some suggestions I disagree with: Don't know about "The Wrath of the Void" title, as she seems more like a territorial predator than somebody who is extremly angry. I personally think that "The Void Burrower" is close enough.

Evelynn Definition of WIDOW-MAKER: something having the potential to cause sudden loss of life (no seduction or just killing men)

Champions that have their race as title: Alistar is implied to be the sole / or one of the few remaining minotaurs after Noxus slew the entire tribe. So yeah he is THE Minotaur as you aren't very likely to meet another (alive) one. Ahri the amount of tails is almost always a represantation of the foxes spiritual powers and having nine seems to be the highest amount they can have. Anivia maybe there are other phoenix, but so far Anivia is the only Cyrophoenix, so I don't see anything wrong with that.

What about,

RekSai The Void Matriarch

Baron Von Bangin9/22/2015, 3:11:11 PM1 votes

Can Riot change Shyvana ?

"The Half Dragon"

Duh.

How about some other "great" titles in this same vein.

Rengar - The Lion Twitch - The Rat Shen - The Ninja Renekton - The Crocodile Nami - The Mermaid

Like c'mon. Do something cool with her.
