League of Legends Missing a Stereotypical Knight Character

In the vast champion pool of 167 characters in League of Legends, players have noticed the absence of a typical knight archetype. This observation was brought up by a player named Facebook_Prophet on Reddit on Feb. 25. They expressed surprise at the lack of a sword and shield knight fighter character in the game, considering it to be a common archetype in the Fantasy genre. While Leona could be considered in this category, the original redditor was referring to a more traditional knight character like those found in Dungeons & Dragons. This sentiment was echoed by many other players who agreed that it was strange for such a common character type to be missing from the game.
