War is Heck/Commando

Lore

• Commando Galio
  Issues with the military industrial complex notwithstanding, why would a government put all its petricite resources into a giant statue that punches things? Or a pair of sunglasses big enough for one to wear?
• Special Forces Gangplank
  How special are the special forces? Let's put it this way: they're the only unit in the military with unlimited access to oranges.
• Commando Garen
  Most commandos excel at amphibious attacks and military paragliding. This one spins very fast toward things while holding a giant sword. It's basically the same.
• Commando Jarvan IV
  Yes, those are guns strapped to Jarvan's arms and legs. No, he can't shoot them.
  • Commando Jarvan IV
• Commando Lux
  Soundproof ear protectors, a multispectral heat visor, lace-up knee-high boots, and a double-sided flamethrower that shoots lasers instead of fire? Lux really does have it all.
• Guerilla Tristana
  The beauty of guerilla warfare is attacking an enemy that has their guard down, is unfamiliar with the terrain, and doesn't know who—or what—is engaging them. The beauty of being a two foot tall Yordle with a cannon the size of a mastiff hound is that no enemy would ever understand what hit them anyway.
• Commando Xin Zhao
  An expert at jungle warfare, Xin Zhao can harpoon a fruit from the rainforest canopy at a hundred yards. He just chooses not to, because it gets fruit chunks all over his spear.

Trivia

• General
• Skins

• The Commando skins share some similarities with  Omega Squad and  Arctic Ops skins, all of them being millitary-based skins. Though Arctic Ops is also ice themed, while Omega Squad focuses on Yordle / Yordle like characters.
  • They are heavily based on both the Imperial Guard from Warhammer 40k as well as Thunder Crash from Unreal Tournament, with the latter also taking heavy inspiration from the prior.
