Line 30:
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: Boy howdy...
{{quote| '''Pantheon''': They are ''privileged'' to die at my feet. They ''disgrace'' the art of War!}}
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: If the fact he's basically a Spartan is not obvious enough, his spear throws ''always'' hit, and his ultimate is ''jumping into the air to drop down 5500 range away from the start point''<ref>To clarify, the maximum range for abilities tends to be a few hundred over 1000. The few abilities that outstrip the range of Pantheon's ultimate are magical in nature or are projectiles flying, no others being powered by two legs. The 5500 range is also around 25% of the distance of the opposite corners of the Summoner's Rift map.</ref>. Before it was [[Nerf|Nerfed]], he could drop onto ''any spot of the map''.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: "I wanted to be a baker!" Also, a [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[Three Hundred]]''.
* [[Scary Black Man]]: His Myrmidon skin.
* [[Shield-Bash]]
Line 188:
** Exactly as predicted, the skin was added to the game for Easter 2012.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: It would seem [[Blaz Blue|Noel]] is no longer using dual guns.
* [[Hyperspace Mallet|Hyperspace Sword]]: Her blade just reforges itself, presumably out of pure energy.
* [[It Was a Gift]]: Her sword was not only a gift but a commendation from the Noxian High Command.
Line 198:
* [[Reforged Blade]]: Her ultimate does this.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: ''Literally''. Singed is kind of a jerk.
* [[Shout -Out]]: A character named 'Riven' who is an exile... which main protagonists of a certain [[Knights of the Old Republic|Star Wars game series]] does this remind you of?
** "[[Warcraft III|You are beyond redemption]]".
** [[Riven]] the [[Myst|Exile]]. Coincidence?
Line 212:
{{quote| ''"Ugh, it’s gonna take forever to scrape your face off my suit!"''}}
 
A blue-furred, short-tempered yordle with a genius for invention, Rumble scorns Heimerdinger and his kind as sell-outs who give superior yordle technology to humans while being secretly laughed at. He joined the League in his home-made [[Mini -Mecha]] "Tristy" to prove the superiority of yordle genius over humanity.
 
Rumble is a mage-type champion adept at dealing and taking damage in short bursts at a time. His abilities are a a flamethrower which toasts the area in front of him for a few seconds, an short-lived shield of scrap which also gives him a speed boost, a [[Harpoon Gun]] which slows the enemy and can be fired a second time immediately if the first shot hits, and a volley of missiles which can be drawn in a line anywhere within ranged, burying themselves into the ground and slowing and hurting and slowing enemies who linger near them. None of Rumble's abilities cost mana; instead they all generate heat which dissipates over time. If he goes above 50 heat all his abilities are more effective, but if he exceeds 100 his mech [[Overheating|overheats]], temporarily preventing him from using his abilities and making his physical attacks deal extra damage for a few seconds until it cools down.
Line 226:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: A "Yordle Nationalist" before anything -- his background makes mention of an altercation with some previously amicable human engineers that, after some "choice words" from him, culminated in his having the stuffing beaten out of him and being called an "embarrassment".
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
* [[Hawaiian -Shirted Tourist]]: In his Rumble in the Jungle skin.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: He sounds like [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy|Billy]] and [[The Angry Beavers|Daggett]].
* [[I Call It Vera]]: He calls his [[Mini -Mecha]] "Tristy". Possible connections to Tristana are unconfirmed at this time.
* [[Pirate]]: His Bilgerat skin.
* [[Playing With Fire]]: His flame thrower.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The Equalizer, his ultimate ability.
* [[Mini -Mecha]]: It's certainly large enough to seat him (semi-)comfortably in the cockpit, but there are some champions whose ''bodies'' are larger than it.
* [[Percussive Maintenance]]: When Tristy breaks down Rumble starts it again by kicking it in the mace.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]
* [[Reverse Shrapnel]]: His Scrap Shield.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Either this or a straight up copy of The Chipper in ''[[Heroes of Newerth]]'' down to the vector targeted ultimate.
* [[Ship Tease]]: His mecha's named Tristy, making everyone wonder if he had feelings for Tristana. Consequently in Volume 1, Issue 25 of the Journal of Justice, a mailbag question asked him outright. His answer was: [[Bad Liar|"I-I don’t know what you’re talking about!"]].
** [[Ship Sinking]]: Now that Teemo and Tristana are paired, it doesn't bode well for any feelings he had for her.
Line 243:
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Sort of; left Bandle City for months, and came back with his robot. Pretty sure no one wants to mess with the runt now.
* [[Walking Armory]]: His robot uses ''a lot'' of weapons.
* [[What a Piece of Junk!]]: Tristy is literally assembled from scrap and regularly just seizes up and falls over, but Rumble can still use it to kick serious ass.
 
[[File:RyzeSquare_2558.png|frame]]
Line 360:
* [[Power Trio]]: With Akali and Kennen.
** Even ''with'' the [[Conservation of Ninjutsu|trivial health debuff they receive if teamed up.]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: His two alternate skins, Frozen Shen and Yellow Jacket Shen, resemble [[Mortal Kombat|Sub-Zero and Scorpion]], respectively. He also has a [[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|doctor skin]].
* [[The Stoic]]: A necessary requirement for fulfilling his training.
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: His Q skill, [[Jabberwocky|Vorpal Blade]].
Line 385:
 
* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]: Her skin is grey-coloured... she is a half-dragon, though. Her alternate skins give her a light, caucasian skin tone.
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Her abilities heavily reward aggression and being in the thick of things.
* [[Double Consciousness]]: In her old lore: Is normally calm and collected. Except when she decides to turn into a dragon. Her new lore does not retain this trait as explicitly, though it mentions "She blends her fiery draconian blood with her adopted principles of justice".
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: See [[Foe-Tossing Charge]].
Line 394:
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]
* [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]]: The dragon-head gauntlets she wears look ''really freakin' cool'', but it'd make a lot more sense to wear something significantly smaller on your hands, or hold another weapon altogether.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z66n3UYfPE4 Champion Spotlight] puts it best:
{{quote| '''Phreak:''' Shyvana is a melee fighter who scales particularly well with attack speed. Her playstyle revolves around sticking to a target and destroying its health bar. Also, she turns into a dragon.}}
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Mentioned on the last line of her background from her draconic heritage showing.
Line 436:
** [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: But the magical enchantments on it do...
** [[Shield-Bash]]: And he uses it as a weapon anyway.
* [[Shout -Out]]:
{{quote| [[James Bond|Shaken, not stirred.]]<br />
To shake or not to shake?<br />
Line 467:
* [[Life Drain]]: His ultimate grants this to his melee attacks for him and his allies during its duration.
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]:
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: He's undead too, do you need anymore reason to keep away?
** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Described as a "human battering ram" in his lore.
Line 494:
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: Her "E" skill is a shield that nullifies any one skill used against her in the next three seconds, which can block a ''lot''. Her Boomerang Blade ability does a lot of damage and can go from a very far range - but it's tough to hit against careful enemies without a set-up for it with a large mana cost to make missing hurt.
* [[Glass Cannon]]
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: An even-shaped [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunga_Munga:Hunga Munga|humga munga]]... thing. Except they call it a glaive, like ''[[War Craft]]''.
* [[Precision -Guided Boomerang]]
* [[Private Military Contractors]]: Sivir's mercenary activities have made her one of the richest people in Valoran.
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Subjective, her Ult is merely an AoE buff, but it's a ''dang'' good one at that!
Line 514:
'''Associated tropes:'''
 
* [[All -Natural Gem Polish]]: Both Skarner and the mines he awakened in have enormous, shiny, faceted, polished and colorful crystals all about, regardless of how sensical that may be.
* [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]: His starting (and scaling) attack speed is pretty poor, and his ability power ratios aren't terribly high, but good luck dislodging him once he's started his work on somebody.
* [[GaiasGaia's Vengeance]]: His awakening onto the scene in Kalamanda bears more than a passing similarity to Maokai's explosive first appearance. His league judgment shows that his entire ''species'' origin is more similar than first apparent, too.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Megatron has stood taller in days gone by, yesss...
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: One of his jokes.
{{quote| ''"Eeaugh! Bugs are gross! Ugh!"''}}
Line 523:
* [[Magikarp Power]]: Terrible early game; once he gets a Sheen, he instantly jumps from "dead weight to his team" to "oh crap guys please don't feed Skarner if you want to win". A fed Skarner is NOT pleasant to deal with.
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: His race's description says it right there: "As vicious as they are wise".
* [[Pokémon -Speak]]: As a shoutout to his resemblance to [[Pokémon (Anime)|a Pokemon]], when Skarner idles in brush, he'll occasionally randomly trigger an [[Easter Egg]] voice clip of Skarner going "Skar! Skar! Skarner!"
* [[Sealed Badass in A Can]]: Self-sealed, but otherwise fits.
* [[Scary Scorpions]]: Averted. He's ruthless, but not particularly more so then the average [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]. Really, he just wants to survive long enough to see his friends and family awake.
Line 566:
* [[Shoot the Medic First]]: Expect to run into this trope.
** Her "Playing against" tips explicitly suggest killing her first in a team fight because of her healing.
* [[Shout -Out]]: It's generally accepted that her standard skin was inspired by [[Vocaloid|Hatsune Miku]]
* [[Spam Attack]]: The buffs don't last long, but still longer than the cooldown of the spells that imbue them. If you just keep hitting Q, W and E, you can keep Sona and her allies in a permanent state of powered-up (depletion of [[Mana Meter]] notwithstanding).
* [[The Speechless]]: Although she talks telepathically to her summoner (i.e. you).
Line 602:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: In a ponytail going down below her ''knees''.
* [[Shoot the Medic First]]: Especially vulnerable to this. The second Soraka steps into a lane she'll more than likely be targeted first to keep her from saving the carry.
* [[Side BoobSideboob]]
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
* [[Stripperiffic]]: It's hard to tell with her basic skin because of her [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|bluish-purple skin]], but Soraka is half-naked. Her outfit is basically a narrow poncho with a belt and exposes her entire side. It's far more obvious with her Dryad skin.
Line 646:
"Seriously? AGAIN? Just DROP IT!"<br />
"Think logically for one sec-CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAW" }}
* [[Shout -Out]]: His form while using his ultimate is awfully reminiscent of a [[Warhammer 40 K|Lord of Change.]] His Tyrant skin makes this even more obvious.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Averted. Extremely bulky for a mage; while not as ridiculous as Morgana, he can still take a massive beating with ease and keep on fighting. His ult also helps healing him.
* [[The Starscream]]: Seems to be working with LeBlanc to assume control of Noxus. He's finally achieved that as of the latest Journal of Justice entry, though to what ends and at who's cost are yet unknown.
