So, pretty much what it says in the title. What are some build ideas that would make a character that played/functioned/looked like/mimicked a League of Legends champion?
We're running an episodic round-robin campaign, and I'm debating the plausibility of re-creating the "Summoner's Rift" map for the game, and seeing how the players handle pushing minion waves, dodging turret fire, etc.
So, tips and advice for the map-making process, feel free to chip in.
But the fun part of this is building the characters. I'm looking for any ideas, tips, or tricks that might help me build lvl 10 NPCs that my players will recognize as LoL champs.

For starters, how do I get a character who can feasibly use gauntlets like this (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/vi-piltover-enforcer-revealed)?

Pathfinder - Human Paladin

10 ranks in intimidate and stealth.

Combat Expertise
Dodge
Mobility
Spring Attack
Whirlwind Attack

DEMACIA!

EDIT: Alright, seriously, what works in a d20 system won't necessarily work in a video game and vice versa. At level 10 a lot of the fun feats for 1v1 (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/dazing-assault-combat) fighting don't really take off but you can do some neat things with "whenever you hit you also trip" and "whenever someone 5 foot steps or withdraws from you, move 10 feet and attack without using up your 5 foot step or movement."

Those aren't really in line with that LoL character though... I think there were some overrun feats that let you do damage as a barbarian. What part of the character did you want to emulate the most?

Well, Vi could be an Unarmed Swordsage who dips Fist of the Forest for extra damage and durability, taking Monkey Grip and EWP: Heavy Gauntlets and uses Large Heavy Gauntlets for maximum unarmed damage.

Alistar would be a Dungeoncrasher Fighter into War Hulk, Fiora is some kind of einhander build that dips Binder for Paimon (look into Dulcinea (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9321125&postcount=154) for ideas), Ezreal is a Soulbow...

The spin effects like Wukong's ultimate and Garen's Judgement are probably also represented best by binding Paimon (or going deep into Dervish, but Dervish is trash) which isn't thematically very good but gets the point across. Plus Binder abilities have cooldowns, which is perfect for champions.

Draven'd probably be a bloodstorm blade. You could do most of the mages as some variety of Warmage. Syndra would probably be a psion of some sort.

It gets really difficult to do this, as the champions are (relatively) balanced against each other.

Jarian actually homebrewed (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=247792) a few LoL champions as prestige classes. Never really gotten into LoL myself so I can't speak to how 'loyal' they are to their in-game counterparts, but it's certainly something to look at.

Alistar I would probably peg as a psionic warrior. As all of his abilities translate rather directly to powers.

Most LoL champions can be stated as sufficiently customized ardents, binders, or martial adepts.

I tried building Wukong once in a 3.P game; he was a Vanaran warlock/warblade who used a quarter staff. It had a permanencied bramble effect, he used flee the scene for his clone, steel wind for his nimbus dash, and I had problems finding an armor shredder for crushing blow, and his ult was boring, just whirlwind paired with imp trip.

Probably Korg the Wizard (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195049).

I found this:

There's some extra stuff they have in their blog, but it seems to be about making Prestige Classes out of LoL champs.

Guess Anivia would be an elementalist with superbuff versions of Ice Storm, some AOE Blast+Stun (Orb of Cold mebbe, but it's only Blind) and a straight-up damage spell (Snowcasting or so for extra damage out of cold) and Wall of Ice as the only known spells. Mebbe Clone. She'd obviously be of a non-standard race but the prob is, Phoenixes aren't generally known for being playable; mebbe just pick some bird-like race and do reincarnation through some contingent resurrection shenanigans. Ice Shugenja could work.
