Maokai doesn’t get a whole lot of love, but we’d be so lost without him. Maokai If you've been pine-ing for a big bruiser, Maokai could be a fun option. As one of League’s most recognisable characters, it’s an addition we'd love to see. There’s a lot of room for some interesting stuff with Zed. We’re not talking Ice Climbers in Smash Bros, more like Yun’s Genei Jin super from Street Fighter 3 where the clones repeat the player’s attacks a few frames after they’re used. Alternatively, you could go all the way and have the clone on screen as a permanent threat. You could go with Mortal Kombat’s Noob Saibot style, where one character tags in their partner for devastating attacks and ambiguous mixups that test an opponent's defensive chops.

This clone, a major aspect of both his basic in-lane pressure and escape plan, is the main reason why we think he’d be a brilliant addition.Ī clone opens up a lot of possibilities for a unique fighting game moveset. Now, there’s a duo of characters that could fit this bill from League’s cast, but since Le Blanc is a ranged character with a moveset not easily transferable to Project L, that leaves Zed as our best bet.Ī hugely popular assassin in League of Legends, Zed possesses a range of ranged and melee abilities alongside a shadow clone which he can teleport to. There’s a long legacy of certain characters making use of clones or delayed after-images for some slick combos in fighting games. Zed would make an excellent aggressive pick.

Since there aren’t really many other characters that fulfil the role Sett does, it seems like a no-brainer, much like typical Sett players. It’s like too perfect to not make it in as an all-or-nothing grapple leading to massive damage. A quick look at his kit shows how exciting a street brawler style character can be.Īlso, his ultimate is a jumping powerbomb.

If there were a direct comparison for what Sett could play like, fighter game fans could look to Miguel as a great comparison here. There’s the obvious variety of jabs and enhanced punches that make the transition easy to imagine, but also Sett is one of the only champions that could be categorised as a grappler in the same vein as Zangief or Hugo from Street Fighter. We’re talking of course about Sett, a relatively recent addition to the League cast with a variety of melee abilities that would translate beautifully to Project L. Our first pick is an obvious one, a character almost too perfect for a 2D fighter thanks to their bare-knuckle brawling kit in the MOBA. Sett A champion almost too perfect for Project L.
