"I also submitted Leona, but they changed her much more [than Trundle]. My original submission for Leona was that she was a templar style knight that had gone into Icathia, looking for the where Kog'Maw had entered the world. The design team liked the sword and board champ idea, and liked the visuals I submitted on what she should look like, but completely changed her lore. Their version is better."
