Who's missing from Avatar Legends? Earthbenders

I admit, earth is not exactly my favorite element in Avatar. However, earthbending does have some of the most fleshed out specific bending-subforms of any element and I would like to see those represented beyond just Toph and the avatars.

There's so much moveset potential in the way Toph's daughters metalbend. The cord they use could function as a whip, a grappling hook or simply a long-ranged button that, combined with their more "regular" earthbending creates a fighting style unique to them and their disciples in the police force and Zao Fu. Furthermore, since the game does have an arcade mode with character interactions, teenage Toph talking to her daughters is certainly an entertaining prospect. Realistically, Lin would be playable with Su as an assist but I would not mind any combination of that.

Lavabending, as an idea, is beautiful. Lavabending, in practice, means adding Bolin to the game and I don't like Bolin very much. There's really only two options
for lavabenders that would be considered, and Bolin is the more prominent one. Anyways, the main use of lavabending I'd like to see replicated in game is area denial. In TloK, lava bending is often used to cut off space from being traversed and create impromptu arenas or otherwise intercept people, a potentially lethal ability for stage control.

Finally, there is no way
King Bumi is not getting in, right? While he may just be another pure earthbender, his stature would be unique among the cast. As it is right now, the game is lacking "big body" characters and he could definitely fill that niche and run people over with massive boulders. He's also just the second most iconic earthbender in Atla after Toph and one of the most requested characters for the game in general, so I have no doubt he will be included. Not sure about the rest of the White Lotus though, but they will get their own short in time..
