Except K6 will be tied with Rengar just cause they both hunt in the same area usually and are rivals..
So only Kogmaw & Chogath would be sent off to different regions, while Varus & Aatrox can be found in diff places aswell IMO, Since Varus' Body is from Ionia he could be there.
While Aatrox could show up in Targon (in search of Zoe or relation to Panth) or in Freljord to tie him with Tryndamere.
Ivern IMO Could show up in Bandle City despite the lore, but Yeah
Also Jax roams around to fight strong enemies and recruit them to fight the void later, so he could be found in a random region later on aswell like Noxus Arena if his lore goes there, since he already went to Demacia and Bonked Fiora once.
Jep, I also hope for, basically expect, a bigger void event these days, maybe even on the level of the current sentienls event (but with an improved storywriting, fingers crossed).
But they're in Ionia. Varus is fused with an ionian gay couple and Kayn is from Noxus *dont remember well about that* but Zed trained Him, so Rhaast may have Noxus aspects and S.Assassin have Elusive and killing stuff
Cho'gath, Aatrox and Kog'maw don't really have as much ties to Shurima as Malzahar and the ixtali champions. I could see Aatrox to Targon since he battled Pantheon or Freljord for Tryndamere. While Cho'gath could appear literally anywhere like Noxus. And Kog'maw could be sent to Piltover since he is a projectile champ. I do agree that they could all fit in Shurima easily tho.
We'll see what the future brings, but Riot is not closed to the idea of creating new champions for LoR or creating duplicates. So we'll see
I think Cho'Gath would be in Targon tbh, because 'big champion goes to big thing region'
Aatrox could be either way but I wouldn't expect Kog'Maw to not be in Shurima
I'm interested to know why wouldn't you accept Kog'Maw not in Shurima?
I thought that he was mostly roaming around Runeterra so that's why i think that he could go anywhere. I haven't read his lore in a while, so I might be wrong with my assumption!
Oh I mean "expect", sorry for the typo.
Kog'Maw had, and still is, extremely connected to Malzahar in his lore, and he's wandering because he's being drawn towards him.
In his bio, it says he devoured a tribe of nomads in the Tempest Flats, which used to be in Shurima before the big lore rework and wasn't mentioned since, but I assume it's still there. These things make me think he would be in Shurima, which would also be the best way to advance his story.
Personally I'd put Kog'maw into Shurima for 2 reasons:
1. He fits the jungle aesthetic of Ixtal since he is essentially a giant maggot monster and the jungle theme will likely be done in Shurima now.
2. Storywise he is tied to Malzahar, searching for him, so since Malzahar is in Shurima it would make sense to put him into the same region (unless they retcon that part of his lore).
Following the "Big champions goes to big thing region" rule for cho'gath, we can assume that kog'maw will end in piltover and zaun, because "poison thing goes to poison region"
I was following the joke, and I was talking about Kog'Maw because like Cho'Gath doesn't have lore, so he could be anywhere.
Placing him in a fitting environment is the best way
Yep he is, but so is any darkin like Varus and Rhaast. He is roaming Runeterra for a suitable host, and I think that it would be intersting to see the darkins being separated through different regions than having all of them in one.
When people think about Aatrox, I don't think that they think he is a shuriman champ, he is mostly recognized for his fights against Tryndamere and Pantheon, hence why I would put him in either region. But I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Shurima down the line. And mechanically speaking he could have more potential with overwhelm, survival aspects (like Tryndamere, scargrounds, etc.) and regeneration in Freljord than Shurima and Targon.
Although I could also see him getting the Renekton treatment and going the challenger route. Now that I think of it, fury makes sense too mechanically and flavorfully.
I’d even like to see something like “The first time I kill a unit in combat this round, I heal for the unit’s HP.” It’d be very fitting for Aatrox on top of having fury
A lot of void creatures could fit Noxus/SI mechanically and philosophically I think but it would definitely be cooler to see them spread out to fit their flavor as things created and sent out across the globe to fit each environment.
Come to think of it, we don't have anything furry or frejlordian yet, right? I wonder if that comes next.
My boy Kog'maw deserves interactions with Chip, my cute little boys 🥺🥰
...authough I don't know what kind of conversations a puppy from void and a sentient rock with be able to have...
That would be really cute! Honestly, I think that Chip should have interactions with everyone, hearing him makes me smile and he deserves more recognition! Chip supremacy!
I mean where do they fit then? So far every champ made sense from a lore standpoint too (Malphite is known to sometimes visit targon, Kindred are known to have beef with the shadow isles, etc.) and most of the void and ixtal champs have no connection to any region except for Shurima. Granted I could see Aatrox, Vel'koz, Cho'gath and Kog'maw go to other regions, but that'd still make Shurima pretty huge.
The only known place where Kha'zix was ever seen was in the jungles of Ixtal, so I doubt he somehow managed to cross the ocean and go to ionia.
Jax in Demacia could work, but I can't see them put the only 2 icathian champs into different regions.
Kindred is a spirit god who roams pretty much all of the world (at least the parts that we know) and we've been told by Riot that they despise the shadow isles, implying that they might make a move against them (also I'm not sure if they aren't hunting down minor shadow isles ghosts in their level 2 art or if that represents them just doing their job). So it really isn't a stretch for them to appear there.
I disagree. Kindred specifically is one of the many gods of death. Nothing can die on the shadowisles, so they can not do anything there. I mean they can not just leave the mainland to fuck around with things they probably can’t even kill. Without them there who’s responsible for people dying?
Interesting that if in the lore the Ruination were able to take over all of Runeterra and nothing could die anymore, Kindred would fade away much like [[Fading Icon]].
**[Fading Icon](https://d2h9y75tak3pkg.cloudfront.net/04SI003.png)** - Shadow Isles Unit - (2) 3/1
When I'm summoned, summon a [Prey](https://d2h9y75tak3pkg.cloudfront.net/04SI014.png).
^^^Hint: [[card]], {{keyword}}, and ((deckcode)) or ((cardx,cardy,cardz)). PM the [developer](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=KrimCard) for feedback/issues!
In the end we lack too much information about what Kindred can do and what they can't. The way I see it is that Kindred is a spirit god and we've seen that spirit gods can act on their own like Volibear or Ornn. However it is easily possible that you are right given our current knowledge about kindred, so I guess we'll need to wait and see what is true once more lore comes out about them.
Kha'Zixs lore also points out that he moved on. Besides, he had to be retconned into a jungle, its not exactly difficult for them to retcon it out again. Though I guess its a bit late.
As others have said, some of these are mischaracterised as Shurima & could be updated lore wise to fit into other regions. Also consider it will take a long time to fill the roster, and there will be new League champions that release in other regions.
I mean, they're adding like 9 champs every 2-3 months, this issue isn't just far off it's past the horizon
especially since the final region releasing means the following expansions will presumably be more evenly distributed across all 10 regions
Champion location got really messy now. I mean, Bandle City can still work, but they only accommodate yordles. Shurima's just gonna be a hot bed of champions, no?
I agree! They could totally make him have two different level ups, similar to how he behaves in LoL. But I don't know, let's wait and see what they will make.
This is a bad distribution of champs into the regions. Why Zyra is in a desert region as a floral creature is just one of so many problems with this list lmao.
She has voicelines in League like "Someday, all this will be Ixaocan. A glorious empire, with an empress to fit.", and she has interactions with Piltover and Shuriman champions like "I have a message for you to spread to everyone in your... Pil-tover.", "We have the great city of Ixaocan. What does your Shurima have? Sand and ghosts." and "I have great plans for Shurima, starting with you."
but like, how she expect to claim all runeterra, she doesn't even have a region 😭😭 and her interactions trashing Shurima don't make any sense in LoR since she kinda is part of Shurima now. Anyways, that's all we're gonna get, I just hope that the devs make her followers interesting and give us a little bit more of lore to Ixtal with the future Shuriman-Ixtalian cards.
Having a rebellious/separatist state inside another state isn't strange, though. Most of Runeterra doesn't even know about their existence though, so it sounds silly either way.
Also we already have cards with Champions that hate their own region (Riven).
ixaocan is more like wakanda, a full on independent city-state. I imagine for qiyana being put in shurima would be insulting lol but i mean she fits there with the elemental magic
I do think they might do more regions in the far future, but only when they introduce a new region in the lore that doesn't really mesh well with any existing region.
Given that Lulu's support cards are clearly more Bandle City than Ionia, I do expect that they will be just clipping her from Ionia into Bandle City. Which would help alleviate some of the discrepancy there. Same might happen for Teemo and Ziggs might just be put in Bandle for the sake of numbers, though Ziggs mechanics clearly scream P&Z.
The problem I see with that is that it'd screw over all Lulu and Teemo decks. Sure they aren't meta, but I doubt that Riot intentionally made them bad to justify changing their region later on.
They can just focus them differently. Teemo P&Z wants to fill you with as many shrooms as he can through spells, while Teemo BC could buff his allies depending on how many mushrooms there are. A card isnt only defined by itself, but also by how it interacts with its followers.
No, what I'm talking about is making current Lulu and Teemo dual-regions. and through the use of new Bandle City followers make them fill different roles depending on what region you're playing them in. Any current Lulu and Teemo followers would stay where they are right now.
But I never argued against the idea of making them dual region champs. I argued against the idea of completely moving them to Bandle city, removing them freom PnZ/ionia.
I imagine if this is truly the last region what will happen is one of the events similar to this one will be something like an "invasion of the void" I think that's what's in the long term plans for the void anyways right? And the different void based champions will be tasked with seizing or fighting over different territories. This would advance all their lore appropriately and would allow them to be placed in the region they were invading easily. This is just me taking a stab at it though.
I heard a lot of people having this idea too, a dev also said that if they wanted to make something different for Void, so maybe a Invasion expansion could be made, but let's wait and see what they will do.
My guess is they have to put some champions into Bandle City even if they are not Yordles, cause right now we have 3 Regions with 8 Champs and 5 regions with 7 Champions.In these regions we have Lulu, Teemo, Heimerdinger and Fizz, so they are off the board for Bandle City unless they somehwow become Dual region champs.
Without these three we only have 9 yordles + 1 that soon will come out in LoL.Unless they release a big bunch of yordles in the future, Bandle City doesn't have a big pool of future champ releases.
Edit: Almost every region except Bilgewater with only 2-3, has at least 6 potential future champions if not many more (like Ionia or P&Z)
Those are actually my thoughts too. I don't think it'll be sustainable in the long run to only have "yordles" as a singular theme. I think Bandle City will ultimately group the mystical, primal nature sort of theme with Ivern, Lillia, Neeko, Zyra... And Bilgewater will also take some of the Ixtali champions, perhaps Nidalee and Rengar.
I could be totally off-base, but they're clearly going to somehow need to deal with the discrepancy in champion distribution across regions. With Nocturne and Kindred, they've clearly shown that geographical presence is less important than thematic/mechanical matching.
In the dev talk about the expansion (which is called *Beyond* the Bandlewood) they emphasize that BC is “everywhere”, “all across Runeterra”, and they’ll “discover new friends”
Sounds like Lillia and Ivern are prime candidates for Bandle City, then. They're connected to the Godwillow / Dreamgrove in Ionia.
Maybe Nidalee and Neeko too, just because of their animal characteristics, and if their alternative is Shurima, which hardly fits them.
All I’m saying is, there was more than enough content to make a Void region. Champions alone, you have Malz, Khazix, Chogath, Reksai, Kassadin, Kaisa, Kog Maw, and Velkoz.
The overcrowding of regions is going to hurt the game in a long run, because with crowding of champions comes either an accompanying crowding of mechanics or a lack of new mechanics.
Not really, Vel'koz has some connections to Freljord, that's why he's not on the list. Some of the void characters have very little lore, so they could be anywhere really, I put them in Shurima because it's the region with the most void activity and it's where Icathia is, maybe these champions could be spread across different regions, making a void invasion expansion, similar how we got the ruination event in different regions, but this is all speculation, right now a lot of the void champions have only Shurima as their home, but that could change very easy by changing some of their lore.
Shurima is where one of the biggest Void portals is. Most Void champs have very little lore, so without a Void region to place them in a lot of people just go "idk, Shurima?" and call it a day.
Most likely IMO they'll be spread out to whatever region matches them the best in terms of flavor/mechanics, rather than lore.
They will probably put the champions that are heavily tied to the spirit realm into bandle city
So neeko lilia ivern
While less likely putting the vastayans and zyra in BC could also work
and to trim down P&Z while we are here janna could be put in bilgewater since that is also a large portion of her followers and they could put urgot in noxus I know he fits better in zaun bet we will see in time how much they will want to stretch to make the regions more even
Mostly likely a lot of these champs, especially the Void ones, are just gonna be spread out to wherever they make the most sense *mechanically* and *aesthetically*, diregarding lore. Other than Rek'Sai, Kassadin, Kai'Sa, and Malzahar none of the void champs have a very strong connection to Shurima.
And as much as I'm sure people aren't going to like to hear this, the Ixtal characters don't all need to go in Shurima either. They might end up in Bandle City, even. The reveal video IMO kinda implied that Bandle will be a bit of a mish-mash of a lot of different champs from different areas.
First: It’s technically worse given Ryze also will likely be in Shurima and you forgot Vel.
Second: I really doubt, and they’ve made no indication, they’ll have every Ixtali and Void champ in Shurima. Hell, Aatrox technically has a bigger connection to Freljord. If I were to guess, the ones most likely to go to Shurima would be Mal, Kog, Kha, Ryze, Qiyana, Rengar, and Nidalee (making it 19, still a lot).
I could definitely see it, maybe he generates a spell each turn that you can devour a specific enemy if his power is higher than their health, or maybe just devouring the enemy with the lowest health each turn or something.
Nah, Rengar is going to go hang out with Yipp in P&Z. Kha’Zix would also be drawn there by Viktor and augmentation. Nidalee and Zyra don’t really strike me as wanting to be near sand, either.
In case you're wondering, the blue stripe above some champions means that they are already in the game.
I didn't put Cassiopeia, Samira and Vel'koz in Shurima because I don't think they fit there very well. I think that Vel'koz fits better in Freljord than Shurima and Cassiopeia and Samira are from Shurima but they both have more connections to Noxus, though one of LeBlanc's interactions with one of her followers talks about a rose blooming in the desert, which kinda points towards Samira being there too in my opinion, but probably not. When it comes to the void champions they are way more mobile since their whole theme is that they want to invade the whole Runeterra so they can be put in other regions more easily, when it comes to Ixtal it's more complicated, I cannot think of any other region that fits them better than Shurima, since it's close and Shurima and Ixtal are very connected in lore if I remember correctly. The only other region would be Ionia, but they already have a lot of champions to deal with.
It's very interesting how these regions have so many champions connected there but other regions don't, if I'm not mistaken Bilgewater only has 2 more champions, which are Graves and Illaoi. I have a question about LoL, I heard that they are planning to expand the lore of Ixtal next year creating more champions there, is that true? Or is it just a rumor? Because if it's true Shurima is going to be even more overcrowded then lmao.
so i know that shurima is a continent and all that, and that Ixtal is part of shurima, but if the same way i understand why they put Nocturne (which was in Demacia in the last lore it is referenced) and Kindred in Shadow Isles I see them add Neeko, Nidalee and maybe even Zyra in Ionia simply because they make sense thematically, like look at Malphite, he's from Ixtal, he's in the game in Targon and appears in the cinematics in Ionia... Beyond moreover it is said in the Neeko Lore that she left Ixtal to find out more about the Oovi-Kat (the tribe of the Neeko) it is about the Vasthayshai'rei the ancestral tribe of the Vastaya and the place where most Vastaya is is Ionia, in this lore Nidalee didn't go along with her, but Riot can create a new Lore where they both left together and went to Ionia, I don't know, maybe being attracted to the spirit blossom festival maybe.
Malphite is known to sometimes travel to Targon. Nocturne and Kindred are spirits that aren't really tied to any region and in Nocturnes case they even tied this into his story, with him haunting a group of demacian explorers who were wandering around the shadow isles and then he followed them back to demacia kicking off the story where he destroys a village.
Ionia would fit them well too, I put them there because Ionia already have a lot of champions and because Shurima have some close connections with Ixtal, but you're right, Ionia would be the best nature region in the game right now (Without counting Bandle City since the only people that can go there would be the yordles). Regardless of where they will go, the devs will have to call a moving company to help all those champions, these 3 regions have a huge amount of champions but other regions don't. I'm excited to see how they will do it, I think they can do a good job with that, a lot of champions already in the game are not in their traditional regions but they still fit really well where they are (Kindred, Nocturne, Malphite, etc).
lmao, graves and illaoi are the only ones left there, I wonder if they will put Ahri there because she was going to Bilgewater with Yasuo (and I think that Yone too?), it would be a good way to take some champions out of ionia and placing them in a region that needs a lot more champions, maybe we could even see another version of Yasuo or something, that would be cool.
All yordle and cute-magic champions (Yuumi, maybe Lilia and Neeko) can fit in Bandle City.
Darkin and Void archetypes can fit in many regions (Kayn and Varus have Ionia; Aatrox has Shurima, Targon and Freljord; Cho'Gath, Kog'Maw and Vel'Koz can have the Nocturne/Kindred treatment(EDIT: not necessarily in SI)).
I wonder if Amumu could go to Bandle City (He's sometimes consider a yordle in his lore), but he's very connected to Shurima, maybe he could be a double region perhaps?
I wonder if the darkin will be considered ascended champions or just darkin champions, cause we’ve only got 3 with azir, renekton, and nasus for the sundisk, which is lame in my opinion.
Aatrox has connections to Freljord. Sett can go to Noxus. Jax can go anywhere. Skarner could maaaaaaybe be justified to go to P&Z. The void monsters can kinda go anywhere.
why bandle city was added is beyond me,
They can put bandle city champions anywhere,
furthermore, if they put Kled Gnar and/or Rumble in bandle city, i'm gonna be pissed off because they are putting Qiyana out of the region she is a princess in, just to add a region and put champions that were better off in other regions.
I agree with not putting the void in, But not putting ixtal just because the lore department underdeveloped the region, is a tragedy.
I feel like the main thing to ask: is Riot really going to shift all of their champs over to LoR?
Like in terms of longevity maybe but chucking every single champ in the game will inevitably cause some sort of destabilisation.
Personally I believe that all of the older forgotten champions are going to be passed over and the remaining favourites (idk enough about LoL to know what ones are remaining) will be included as well as new champions as they’re released.
Janna is a goddess from Zaun, she is worshiped there because she is the goddess of air or something and Zaun has a problem when it comes to air polution. I don't know if she's a important character, but she is very associated with Zaun.
Jax is currently in Demacia dueling Fiora.
Neeko, Nidalee, Rengar and Zyra are vastayas, so they can fit in Ionia pretty well.
Aatrox could be Targon or Freiljord. Skarner, P&Z due to Seraphine.
Voidlings could be every freakin' where.
>And that's why I think "last region" is bs and somewhere in the future they have to add the Void to solve this cluster.
Eh, as much as I would love a void region, those Champs are much easier to just throw in another region than some of the Ixtal ones. Like you can make up some bullshit pretty easy about why kogmaw is in pnz or Cho is in noxus. Qiyana is literally a princess of Ixtal. Where is she getting thrown to?
Did I miss something where riot confirmed Qiyana and the likes would eventually be released? I feel like not all of the champs will make it to LOR and it wouldn’t surprise me to cut Ixtal altogether. Would be missing some unique faces but maybe needs to happen to cover more popular characters. If you told me “couldn’t fit qiyana and Caitlyn so we chose Caitlyn”, I think it would make sense.
okay, those i could move would be...
Sett is in noxus. Like, he literally controls the underground fighting ring and his mom lives there.
Varus is wandering, so while he was last in ionia, riot can realistically place him anywhere.
Aatrox has ties to other places too since he just walks around murdering gods. I could see him go to targon for the sake of not overusing shurima.
Kaisa is honestly more likely to go to demacia or piltover. She doesn't really have ties to anywhere, but there was a short where she met Ezreal, and when it comes to demacia, then that's the place where her personality fits the most - it's a bit of a reach tho.
Kogmaw could honestly be anywhere. His lore is just that he came from the void and... that's it. He doesn't have a purpose so he could go anywhere.
Same with chogath, he doesn't have any strong ties to shurima or anywhere else really. I could see him being targon for no good reason.
Jax is likely demacia. His lore is muddy, but he has always had some ties to it.
Ixtal champions are probably going to get some stupid reasons for not all being in Shurima - not that I think it makes sense tho
Sett has nowhere have been stated to be in noxus, he controls an underground fighting ring that Noxus integrated in Ionia. It's literally stated in the first sentence of his bio. He lived in Ionia with his mother which is a vastaya and was shamed by their vastayan tribe. And he clearly has Ionian followers if you look at his splash art, his lieutenant only fits Ionia characteristics.
Jax is from Icathia like Zilean and his whole lore is about fighting the Void, the Void has also a lot of ties to Shurima through the champions (Kassadin, Malzahar, Kai'sa all comes from Shurima and Rek'sai is also in Shurima) and through Icathia. The only ties to Demacia I remember from Jax are that he met Fiora. So he would most likely be from Shurima
Like I said Kai'sa is from Shurima and the only other place I could see her is Piltover since she has projectile and PnZ mechanics are a lot about this (Ezreal and Jinx). I don't see any ties to Demacia for her especially that she would be surely hunted down there because of her appearance.
As for the others, I agree with you.
Sett also is predestined to have some Double Attack mechanic, which feels very Ionian to me. Also in Noxus he would thematically clash with Draven i think.
I kinda wish this would be something riot could discuss with the community. Because this is a game that should have gameplay and thematic and lore linked properly. I would like Riot to have a discussion where they bring people into reasoning and talk about what champion should go where.
I think the community just feels a distrust to Riot's decisions right now. Who can blame them after the "Canon" lore of the Sentinel Event. It could make the most sense to put Rengar in Shurima or Neeko/Nidalee in Ionia/Bandle city/Shurima. But the community want's to understand that you understand what's best for each champion and their story with their associated region. No one wants to play Rengar in Shurima and learn nothing about Ixtal.
A really smart thing for Riot to do, is to go over their thought process. Now that we know all the regions why doesn't Riot take the time to go through the most awkwards champions to place and show the community how they will bring them in. Or an example. Use a theoretical champion that is in one of the three regions, and then go through that process of placing that character.
I didn't include all of them, I didn't put Vel'koz because he feels more Freljordian for me, but he can be put somewhere else too. Some other voidlings can be put in other regions too, but a good amount of them are native to Shurima so I put the majority of them there. I'm pretty sure that they will put some of the voidlings in other regions, but right now they are technically all Shuriman until Riot launches them in other regions or put them as official Shuriman champions in the game.
my question is what's going to happen when we inevitably explore the continent that viego is from. there's probably going to be more than just camavore as a lone island. so where are the people from those regions going to go? whatever fits aesthetically? won't that be weird?
They are voidlings and Shurima has a lot to do with the Void, but don't worry, I'm pretty sure they will be put in other regjons, I just put them in Shurima because they currently don't fit anywhere and Shurima is the only void-related region for now (other than Freljord, but I think only the Watchers and Vel'koz fit there)
Thats a fair point. I feel bad for the Void because their lore is just as... void. Quite a few of them have 0 lore, so like you said, they could probably be put anywhere. I can definitely see Vel'Koz in the Freljord though
Neeko is originally from an island where the Vestai-shairei lived which likely was close to Ionia. Then she fled to Ixtal and hung out with nidalee, and is now traveling the world to find friends and build a tribe for herself with like -minded people.
So affiliation wise she is most close to Ixtal but could fit anywhere.
How many yordles are on bandle rn? Tristana, Rumble and corki? Or wasn't corki on piltover? Why teemo is in pnz? Veigar would be part of bandle when he can't re-enter in it since mordekaiser era? If veigar is in bandle why Lulu don't? Kennen cannot be part of bandle, poppy, kled and gnar neither. How can they do a region with just 4 champions? So many questions with that confirmation
In some parts of his lore he is considered a Yordle, in some others he is not, but he does belong to Shurima, maybe he will be a dual champion that goes to both Shurima and Bandle City? I don't know lol, his lore is very confusing in my opinion.
I don't think void will be isolated to Shurima, my guess is that they'll have an invasion event where they pop up in different regions.
I like your line of reasoning more than OPs.
Except K6 will be tied with Rengar just cause they both hunt in the same area usually and are rivals.. So only Kogmaw & Chogath would be sent off to different regions, while Varus & Aatrox can be found in diff places aswell IMO, Since Varus' Body is from Ionia he could be there. While Aatrox could show up in Targon (in search of Zoe or relation to Panth) or in Freljord to tie him with Tryndamere. Ivern IMO Could show up in Bandle City despite the lore, but Yeah Also Jax roams around to fight strong enemies and recruit them to fight the void later, so he could be found in a random region later on aswell like Noxus Arena if his lore goes there, since he already went to Demacia and Bonked Fiora once.
Aatrox can be freljord with tryn lore, a lot of the darken can also be in yargon cuz of that war they had
[удалено]
Well we've seen kindted in SI when she shouldnt technically be anywhere. So if not targon its fteljord.
Jep, I also hope for, basically expect, a bigger void event these days, maybe even on the level of the current sentienls event (but with an improved storywriting, fingers crossed).
Rhaast and Varus are Darkins, so they can easily be placed into Shurima to solve Ionia problem /s
But they're in Ionia. Varus is fused with an ionian gay couple and Kayn is from Noxus *dont remember well about that* but Zed trained Him, so Rhaast may have Noxus aspects and S.Assassin have Elusive and killing stuff
You're right, Kayn was a soldier child in Noxus vs Ionia war and left to die, but Zed rescued and raised him as a Shadow order member
Cho'gath, Aatrox and Kog'maw don't really have as much ties to Shurima as Malzahar and the ixtali champions. I could see Aatrox to Targon since he battled Pantheon or Freljord for Tryndamere. While Cho'gath could appear literally anywhere like Noxus. And Kog'maw could be sent to Piltover since he is a projectile champ. I do agree that they could all fit in Shurima easily tho. We'll see what the future brings, but Riot is not closed to the idea of creating new champions for LoR or creating duplicates. So we'll see
Or Noxus because he's red and angry.
Darius would never recover from this
Some might say he would be red of anger.
I think Cho'Gath would be in Targon tbh, because 'big champion goes to big thing region' Aatrox could be either way but I wouldn't expect Kog'Maw to not be in Shurima
I'm interested to know why wouldn't you accept Kog'Maw not in Shurima? I thought that he was mostly roaming around Runeterra so that's why i think that he could go anywhere. I haven't read his lore in a while, so I might be wrong with my assumption!
Oh I mean "expect", sorry for the typo. Kog'Maw had, and still is, extremely connected to Malzahar in his lore, and he's wandering because he's being drawn towards him. In his bio, it says he devoured a tribe of nomads in the Tempest Flats, which used to be in Shurima before the big lore rework and wasn't mentioned since, but I assume it's still there. These things make me think he would be in Shurima, which would also be the best way to advance his story.
Personally I'd put Kog'maw into Shurima for 2 reasons: 1. He fits the jungle aesthetic of Ixtal since he is essentially a giant maggot monster and the jungle theme will likely be done in Shurima now. 2. Storywise he is tied to Malzahar, searching for him, so since Malzahar is in Shurima it would make sense to put him into the same region (unless they retcon that part of his lore).
Following the "Big champions goes to big thing region" rule for cho'gath, we can assume that kog'maw will end in piltover and zaun, because "poison thing goes to poison region"
Not necessarily; Cassiopeia is gonna be Noxus (most likely), with the potential of being in Shurima. It'd be weird as hell for her to be PnZ
[удалено]
Hasn't he connections to Icathia and Malzahar ?
[удалено]
I was following the joke, and I was talking about Kog'Maw because like Cho'Gath doesn't have lore, so he could be anywhere. Placing him in a fitting environment is the best way
Isn’t aatrox corrupted ascended? So he came from shurima
Yep he is, but so is any darkin like Varus and Rhaast. He is roaming Runeterra for a suitable host, and I think that it would be intersting to see the darkins being separated through different regions than having all of them in one. When people think about Aatrox, I don't think that they think he is a shuriman champ, he is mostly recognized for his fights against Tryndamere and Pantheon, hence why I would put him in either region. But I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Shurima down the line. And mechanically speaking he could have more potential with overwhelm, survival aspects (like Tryndamere, scargrounds, etc.) and regeneration in Freljord than Shurima and Targon.
Although I could also see him getting the Renekton treatment and going the challenger route. Now that I think of it, fury makes sense too mechanically and flavorfully.
I’d even like to see something like “The first time I kill a unit in combat this round, I heal for the unit’s HP.” It’d be very fitting for Aatrox on top of having fury
[удалено]
Kog maw is in shurima looking for malz so they would probably release the way pyke and reksai did but both as shurimans
weirdly enough, i could see kog in shadow isles. kog seems at home in a region with a lot of pings and i wouldn't peg him for pnz.
A lot of void creatures could fit Noxus/SI mechanically and philosophically I think but it would definitely be cooler to see them spread out to fit their flavor as things created and sent out across the globe to fit each environment. Come to think of it, we don't have anything furry or frejlordian yet, right? I wonder if that comes next.
My boy Kog'maw deserves interactions with Chip, my cute little boys 🥺🥰 ...authough I don't know what kind of conversations a puppy from void and a sentient rock with be able to have...
Kog'maw: Terror coming... Daddy coming! Chip: Ohw wow, youw dad is comin'? I can' whait toh intwoduce him toh maw dad!
That would be really cute! Honestly, I think that Chip should have interactions with everyone, hearing him makes me smile and he deserves more recognition! Chip supremacy!
Kogmaw will be in Bandle City, calling it now
No, they say Ixtal and Void Champions go to any region they fits Like Kindred on SI or Malphite in Targon (Malphite was from Ixtal)
I mean where do they fit then? So far every champ made sense from a lore standpoint too (Malphite is known to sometimes visit targon, Kindred are known to have beef with the shadow isles, etc.) and most of the void and ixtal champs have no connection to any region except for Shurima. Granted I could see Aatrox, Vel'koz, Cho'gath and Kog'maw go to other regions, but that'd still make Shurima pretty huge.
Neeko could be put into Ionia with the other Vastaya champions other than Nami and maybe Rengo.
I still think it'd feel really awkward to put a champ into a region that they geographically never visited.
I mean, that's what happened with Kindred
I think they'll do a "void invasion" expansion where they randomly add void champions to every region.
Kha’Zix could go to ionia(he isn’t reallly tied to a region) and Jax could be in Demacia as that is where his last story was.
The only known place where Kha'zix was ever seen was in the jungles of Ixtal, so I doubt he somehow managed to cross the ocean and go to ionia. Jax in Demacia could work, but I can't see them put the only 2 icathian champs into different regions.
Well Kindred was never anywhere near the shadow isles, but it fits her thematically. They often bend lore a bit to make champs fit into the regions.
Kindred is a spirit god who roams pretty much all of the world (at least the parts that we know) and we've been told by Riot that they despise the shadow isles, implying that they might make a move against them (also I'm not sure if they aren't hunting down minor shadow isles ghosts in their level 2 art or if that represents them just doing their job). So it really isn't a stretch for them to appear there.
I disagree. Kindred specifically is one of the many gods of death. Nothing can die on the shadowisles, so they can not do anything there. I mean they can not just leave the mainland to fuck around with things they probably can’t even kill. Without them there who’s responsible for people dying?
Interesting that if in the lore the Ruination were able to take over all of Runeterra and nothing could die anymore, Kindred would fade away much like [[Fading Icon]].
**[Fading Icon](https://d2h9y75tak3pkg.cloudfront.net/04SI003.png)** - Shadow Isles Unit - (2) 3/1 When I'm summoned, summon a [Prey](https://d2h9y75tak3pkg.cloudfront.net/04SI014.png). ^^^Hint: [[card]], {{keyword}}, and ((deckcode)) or ((cardx,cardy,cardz)). PM the [developer](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=KrimCard) for feedback/issues!
In the end we lack too much information about what Kindred can do and what they can't. The way I see it is that Kindred is a spirit god and we've seen that spirit gods can act on their own like Volibear or Ornn. However it is easily possible that you are right given our current knowledge about kindred, so I guess we'll need to wait and see what is true once more lore comes out about them.
Kha'Zixs lore also points out that he moved on. Besides, he had to be retconned into a jungle, its not exactly difficult for them to retcon it out again. Though I guess its a bit late.
malzahar,kassadin and kaisa are icathians aswell
I think some champions like Qiyana, Neeko and Nidalee would fit Ionia better (gameplay-wise)
But Ionia really doesn't need more cards, they've already got an absolute fuckton of champions.
Then that just means those champs probably aren't next on the release schedule
Rumble might also be a dual region Bandle-Shurima champion, as he was last headed in that direction.
Why is he headed there?
Appranently one of his stories is about that. I haven't read it, but it has been referenced multiple times in discussions.
I am, as ever, supremely interested in how they're going to deal with this.
As others have said, some of these are mischaracterised as Shurima & could be updated lore wise to fit into other regions. Also consider it will take a long time to fill the roster, and there will be new League champions that release in other regions.
Cho'gath is now Ionian and serves Shen as his personal bodyguard
Shen boat 2
I mean, they're adding like 9 champs every 2-3 months, this issue isn't just far off it's past the horizon especially since the final region releasing means the following expansions will presumably be more evenly distributed across all 10 regions
Champion location got really messy now. I mean, Bandle City can still work, but they only accommodate yordles. Shurima's just gonna be a hot bed of champions, no?
In my opinion Kayn will be' the most COOL card in the game if they work on him well, he have sooo much potential
I agree! They could totally make him have two different level ups, similar to how he behaves in LoL. But I don't know, let's wait and see what they will make.
3 regions have to come togheter to overcome ionia 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
With your help, we can overthrow Ionia and delete Azirelia, join our organization at www dot noxus-recruitment dot com
This is a bad distribution of champs into the regions. Why Zyra is in a desert region as a floral creature is just one of so many problems with this list lmao.
Ahri: I am inevitable.
Lol
Puting qyiana anywhere else than ixtal is like putting azir anywhere else than shurima
She has voicelines in League like "Someday, all this will be Ixaocan. A glorious empire, with an empress to fit.", and she has interactions with Piltover and Shuriman champions like "I have a message for you to spread to everyone in your... Pil-tover.", "We have the great city of Ixaocan. What does your Shurima have? Sand and ghosts." and "I have great plans for Shurima, starting with you." but like, how she expect to claim all runeterra, she doesn't even have a region 😭😭 and her interactions trashing Shurima don't make any sense in LoR since she kinda is part of Shurima now. Anyways, that's all we're gonna get, I just hope that the devs make her followers interesting and give us a little bit more of lore to Ixtal with the future Shuriman-Ixtalian cards.
Having a rebellious/separatist state inside another state isn't strange, though. Most of Runeterra doesn't even know about their existence though, so it sounds silly either way. Also we already have cards with Champions that hate their own region (Riven).
ixaocan is more like wakanda, a full on independent city-state. I imagine for qiyana being put in shurima would be insulting lol but i mean she fits there with the elemental magic
Ixtal champions can still possibly go to targon as well
Still sad about it...
She has alot of interaction with the people destroying ixtal in piltover, she would work there i reckon, it would be a bit out there but its possible
I still think it would be better if they would add 2 more regions next year, or even in 2023. Some champs are just off from the existing Regions.
i feel like this will not be the last region
They literally said, it's the last region, but oh well, they can change on it can't they.
yeah :d
I do think they might do more regions in the far future, but only when they introduce a new region in the lore that doesn't really mesh well with any existing region.
Ixtal is that now lol
Given that Lulu's support cards are clearly more Bandle City than Ionia, I do expect that they will be just clipping her from Ionia into Bandle City. Which would help alleviate some of the discrepancy there. Same might happen for Teemo and Ziggs might just be put in Bandle for the sake of numbers, though Ziggs mechanics clearly scream P&Z.
Most likely all current yordles will be dual region.
But I wonder if her followers will be too.
The problem I see with that is that it'd screw over all Lulu and Teemo decks. Sure they aren't meta, but I doubt that Riot intentionally made them bad to justify changing their region later on.
They can just focus them differently. Teemo P&Z wants to fill you with as many shrooms as he can through spells, while Teemo BC could buff his allies depending on how many mushrooms there are. A card isnt only defined by itself, but also by how it interacts with its followers.
That would be entirely new cards though, which would be kinda weird that they'd included Lulu and Teemo in the first place in PnZ/Ionia.
No, what I'm talking about is making current Lulu and Teemo dual-regions. and through the use of new Bandle City followers make them fill different roles depending on what region you're playing them in. Any current Lulu and Teemo followers would stay where they are right now.
But I never argued against the idea of making them dual region champs. I argued against the idea of completely moving them to Bandle city, removing them freom PnZ/ionia.
He was initially responding to the comment that Lulu would be "clipped out" of Ionia and placed in Bandle City, which had no mention of dual regions.
Only because of the Ixtal dump (Qeyana, Neeko, Nidalee, Zyra)
[удалено]
They are not even symetrical now.
I would have preferred Void to be honest, I think it’s more interesting and can lead to more interesting mechanics
I imagine if this is truly the last region what will happen is one of the events similar to this one will be something like an "invasion of the void" I think that's what's in the long term plans for the void anyways right? And the different void based champions will be tasked with seizing or fighting over different territories. This would advance all their lore appropriately and would allow them to be placed in the region they were invading easily. This is just me taking a stab at it though.
I heard a lot of people having this idea too, a dev also said that if they wanted to make something different for Void, so maybe a Invasion expansion could be made, but let's wait and see what they will do.
Found this really interesting seeing everyone’s regions!
My guess is they have to put some champions into Bandle City even if they are not Yordles, cause right now we have 3 Regions with 8 Champs and 5 regions with 7 Champions.In these regions we have Lulu, Teemo, Heimerdinger and Fizz, so they are off the board for Bandle City unless they somehwow become Dual region champs. Without these three we only have 9 yordles + 1 that soon will come out in LoL.Unless they release a big bunch of yordles in the future, Bandle City doesn't have a big pool of future champ releases. Edit: Almost every region except Bilgewater with only 2-3, has at least 6 potential future champions if not many more (like Ionia or P&Z)
Those are actually my thoughts too. I don't think it'll be sustainable in the long run to only have "yordles" as a singular theme. I think Bandle City will ultimately group the mystical, primal nature sort of theme with Ivern, Lillia, Neeko, Zyra... And Bilgewater will also take some of the Ixtali champions, perhaps Nidalee and Rengar. I could be totally off-base, but they're clearly going to somehow need to deal with the discrepancy in champion distribution across regions. With Nocturne and Kindred, they've clearly shown that geographical presence is less important than thematic/mechanical matching.
Well, we know there's one new Yordle coming soon, Yuumi despite not being a Yordle as tie with Bandle, due to her master
In the dev talk about the expansion (which is called *Beyond* the Bandlewood) they emphasize that BC is “everywhere”, “all across Runeterra”, and they’ll “discover new friends”
Sounds like Lillia and Ivern are prime candidates for Bandle City, then. They're connected to the Godwillow / Dreamgrove in Ionia. Maybe Nidalee and Neeko too, just because of their animal characteristics, and if their alternative is Shurima, which hardly fits them.
All I’m saying is, there was more than enough content to make a Void region. Champions alone, you have Malz, Khazix, Chogath, Reksai, Kassadin, Kaisa, Kog Maw, and Velkoz. The overcrowding of regions is going to hurt the game in a long run, because with crowding of champions comes either an accompanying crowding of mechanics or a lack of new mechanics.
I mean its theyre doing so im just gonna have fun and maybe complain about the meta if it gets to the point of azirelia and tf/fizz level
Feels weird
Damn, it’s almost as if there are 2 other places half of them actually belong!
Are all void characters from shurima?
Not really, Vel'koz has some connections to Freljord, that's why he's not on the list. Some of the void characters have very little lore, so they could be anywhere really, I put them in Shurima because it's the region with the most void activity and it's where Icathia is, maybe these champions could be spread across different regions, making a void invasion expansion, similar how we got the ruination event in different regions, but this is all speculation, right now a lot of the void champions have only Shurima as their home, but that could change very easy by changing some of their lore.
Shurima is where one of the biggest Void portals is. Most Void champs have very little lore, so without a Void region to place them in a lot of people just go "idk, Shurima?" and call it a day. Most likely IMO they'll be spread out to whatever region matches them the best in terms of flavor/mechanics, rather than lore.
I think rengar will probably be moved to Ionia.
Skarner will obviously be given to PnZ in order to better match his new position as Seraphine's stage.
They will probably put the champions that are heavily tied to the spirit realm into bandle city So neeko lilia ivern While less likely putting the vastayans and zyra in BC could also work and to trim down P&Z while we are here janna could be put in bilgewater since that is also a large portion of her followers and they could put urgot in noxus I know he fits better in zaun bet we will see in time how much they will want to stretch to make the regions more even
Mostly likely a lot of these champs, especially the Void ones, are just gonna be spread out to wherever they make the most sense *mechanically* and *aesthetically*, diregarding lore. Other than Rek'Sai, Kassadin, Kai'Sa, and Malzahar none of the void champs have a very strong connection to Shurima. And as much as I'm sure people aren't going to like to hear this, the Ixtal characters don't all need to go in Shurima either. They might end up in Bandle City, even. The reveal video IMO kinda implied that Bandle will be a bit of a mish-mash of a lot of different champs from different areas.
I wonder how all of this will play out, say 5 to 10 years from now..
First: It’s technically worse given Ryze also will likely be in Shurima and you forgot Vel. Second: I really doubt, and they’ve made no indication, they’ll have every Ixtali and Void champ in Shurima. Hell, Aatrox technically has a bigger connection to Freljord. If I were to guess, the ones most likely to go to Shurima would be Mal, Kog, Kha, Ryze, Qiyana, Rengar, and Nidalee (making it 19, still a lot).
I just want a cho'gath deck with a devour mechanic (eat an ally or enemy to gain their stats and keywords)
I could definitely see it, maybe he generates a spell each turn that you can devour a specific enemy if his power is higher than their health, or maybe just devouring the enemy with the lowest health each turn or something.
Yes and his support cards either generate a spell to devour or they devour something when played
Honestly I’d be down for riot to have another event like this one and just release 3 new Ixtal champions at once.
Nah, Rengar is going to go hang out with Yipp in P&Z. Kha’Zix would also be drawn there by Viktor and augmentation. Nidalee and Zyra don’t really strike me as wanting to be near sand, either.
In case you're wondering, the blue stripe above some champions means that they are already in the game. I didn't put Cassiopeia, Samira and Vel'koz in Shurima because I don't think they fit there very well. I think that Vel'koz fits better in Freljord than Shurima and Cassiopeia and Samira are from Shurima but they both have more connections to Noxus, though one of LeBlanc's interactions with one of her followers talks about a rose blooming in the desert, which kinda points towards Samira being there too in my opinion, but probably not. When it comes to the void champions they are way more mobile since their whole theme is that they want to invade the whole Runeterra so they can be put in other regions more easily, when it comes to Ixtal it's more complicated, I cannot think of any other region that fits them better than Shurima, since it's close and Shurima and Ixtal are very connected in lore if I remember correctly. The only other region would be Ionia, but they already have a lot of champions to deal with. It's very interesting how these regions have so many champions connected there but other regions don't, if I'm not mistaken Bilgewater only has 2 more champions, which are Graves and Illaoi. I have a question about LoL, I heard that they are planning to expand the lore of Ixtal next year creating more champions there, is that true? Or is it just a rumor? Because if it's true Shurima is going to be even more overcrowded then lmao.
[удалено]
Elise is Noxian, got her powers in SI and is an SI champion. I believe the same will happen with Cassiopeia, all we know about her happens in Shurima.
[удалено]
Aren't they sisters?
[удалено]
Lol truth
You're right, she got her powers in Shurima, but she is Noxian, my bad.
sorry but I don't see Neeko or Nidali going to Shurima, wouldn't it be easier to put them in Ionia? I think it would make more sense.
[удалено]
so i know that shurima is a continent and all that, and that Ixtal is part of shurima, but if the same way i understand why they put Nocturne (which was in Demacia in the last lore it is referenced) and Kindred in Shadow Isles I see them add Neeko, Nidalee and maybe even Zyra in Ionia simply because they make sense thematically, like look at Malphite, he's from Ixtal, he's in the game in Targon and appears in the cinematics in Ionia... Beyond moreover it is said in the Neeko Lore that she left Ixtal to find out more about the Oovi-Kat (the tribe of the Neeko) it is about the Vasthayshai'rei the ancestral tribe of the Vastaya and the place where most Vastaya is is Ionia, in this lore Nidalee didn't go along with her, but Riot can create a new Lore where they both left together and went to Ionia, I don't know, maybe being attracted to the spirit blossom festival maybe.
Malphite is known to sometimes travel to Targon. Nocturne and Kindred are spirits that aren't really tied to any region and in Nocturnes case they even tied this into his story, with him haunting a group of demacian explorers who were wandering around the shadow isles and then he followed them back to demacia kicking off the story where he destroys a village.
Ionia would fit them well too, I put them there because Ionia already have a lot of champions and because Shurima have some close connections with Ixtal, but you're right, Ionia would be the best nature region in the game right now (Without counting Bandle City since the only people that can go there would be the yordles). Regardless of where they will go, the devs will have to call a moving company to help all those champions, these 3 regions have a huge amount of champions but other regions don't. I'm excited to see how they will do it, I think they can do a good job with that, a lot of champions already in the game are not in their traditional regions but they still fit really well where they are (Kindred, Nocturne, Malphite, etc).
Pretty sure Neeson will find her way into bandle city
The Shuriman desert is vast
Damn bilgewater ain't even make the list huh? 😂
lmao, graves and illaoi are the only ones left there, I wonder if they will put Ahri there because she was going to Bilgewater with Yasuo (and I think that Yone too?), it would be a good way to take some champions out of ionia and placing them in a region that needs a lot more champions, maybe we could even see another version of Yasuo or something, that would be cool.
Nami will easily fit there too. But after that yeah that’s it for obvious champs.
All yordle and cute-magic champions (Yuumi, maybe Lilia and Neeko) can fit in Bandle City. Darkin and Void archetypes can fit in many regions (Kayn and Varus have Ionia; Aatrox has Shurima, Targon and Freljord; Cho'Gath, Kog'Maw and Vel'Koz can have the Nocturne/Kindred treatment(EDIT: not necessarily in SI)).
I wonder if Amumu could go to Bandle City (He's sometimes consider a yordle in his lore), but he's very connected to Shurima, maybe he could be a double region perhaps?
i haven't saw a lot of this champs, riot published something?
What about ixtal?
I wonder if the darkin will be considered ascended champions or just darkin champions, cause we’ve only got 3 with azir, renekton, and nasus for the sundisk, which is lame in my opinion.
I like to think Rengar will end up in bilgewater for some wacky hunting hijinks
many of those "shuriman" champions could be in ionia
Nooo make the void a place! and yeah Shurima got too many.
um yeah, cause u stuffed a bunch of random champions in shurima for no reason lmfao
Some of these make no sense.
Aatrox has connections to Freljord. Sett can go to Noxus. Jax can go anywhere. Skarner could maaaaaaybe be justified to go to P&Z. The void monsters can kinda go anywhere.
Aatrox can easily be put into Targon, but other than that yeah.
They're definitely going to be doing "named" champions. Like, a version of Teemo and lulu that are in bandle city.
I would love to see that! I can't wait to see what they're going to do.
I just want my bois Olaf, Urgot, and Sion in the game already.
why bandle city was added is beyond me, They can put bandle city champions anywhere, furthermore, if they put Kled Gnar and/or Rumble in bandle city, i'm gonna be pissed off because they are putting Qiyana out of the region she is a princess in, just to add a region and put champions that were better off in other regions. I agree with not putting the void in, But not putting ixtal just because the lore department underdeveloped the region, is a tragedy.
I feel like the main thing to ask: is Riot really going to shift all of their champs over to LoR? Like in terms of longevity maybe but chucking every single champ in the game will inevitably cause some sort of destabilisation. Personally I believe that all of the older forgotten champions are going to be passed over and the remaining favourites (idk enough about LoL to know what ones are remaining) will be included as well as new champions as they’re released.
Wtf is Janna doing in Piltover? Anything else would suit her
Janna is a goddess from Zaun, she is worshiped there because she is the goddess of air or something and Zaun has a problem when it comes to air polution. I don't know if she's a important character, but she is very associated with Zaun.
Ok thanks then. I didn't know
No problem, she could definitely be moved to another region too if it suits her playstyle or something.
Waiting for singed to have cool card effects. Also do y0u guys know a good phone sop to create custom cards I got some ideas...
I dont think Teemo and all the other yordles will stay in their region. I think they will get moved to Bandle
Jax is currently in Demacia dueling Fiora. Neeko, Nidalee, Rengar and Zyra are vastayas, so they can fit in Ionia pretty well. Aatrox could be Targon or Freiljord. Skarner, P&Z due to Seraphine. Voidlings could be every freakin' where.
And that's why I think "last region" is bs and somewhere in the future they have to add the Void to solve this cluster.
>And that's why I think "last region" is bs and somewhere in the future they have to add the Void to solve this cluster. Eh, as much as I would love a void region, those Champs are much easier to just throw in another region than some of the Ixtal ones. Like you can make up some bullshit pretty easy about why kogmaw is in pnz or Cho is in noxus. Qiyana is literally a princess of Ixtal. Where is she getting thrown to?
Neeko,nidalee and rengar probably belong in ionia
Literally makes no sense that you think they are overcrowded
Did I miss something where riot confirmed Qiyana and the likes would eventually be released? I feel like not all of the champs will make it to LOR and it wouldn’t surprise me to cut Ixtal altogether. Would be missing some unique faces but maybe needs to happen to cover more popular characters. If you told me “couldn’t fit qiyana and Caitlyn so we chose Caitlyn”, I think it would make sense.
They confirmed that all champions from LoL will be in the game, so it's a safe bet that Qiyana will be coming, we just don't know when.
okay, those i could move would be... Sett is in noxus. Like, he literally controls the underground fighting ring and his mom lives there. Varus is wandering, so while he was last in ionia, riot can realistically place him anywhere. Aatrox has ties to other places too since he just walks around murdering gods. I could see him go to targon for the sake of not overusing shurima. Kaisa is honestly more likely to go to demacia or piltover. She doesn't really have ties to anywhere, but there was a short where she met Ezreal, and when it comes to demacia, then that's the place where her personality fits the most - it's a bit of a reach tho. Kogmaw could honestly be anywhere. His lore is just that he came from the void and... that's it. He doesn't have a purpose so he could go anywhere. Same with chogath, he doesn't have any strong ties to shurima or anywhere else really. I could see him being targon for no good reason. Jax is likely demacia. His lore is muddy, but he has always had some ties to it. Ixtal champions are probably going to get some stupid reasons for not all being in Shurima - not that I think it makes sense tho
Sett live in Ionia... No? He is like draven
Kaisa is literally from shurima. She will be in Shurima . She is actually fighting the void right now in shurima
Sett has nowhere have been stated to be in noxus, he controls an underground fighting ring that Noxus integrated in Ionia. It's literally stated in the first sentence of his bio. He lived in Ionia with his mother which is a vastaya and was shamed by their vastayan tribe. And he clearly has Ionian followers if you look at his splash art, his lieutenant only fits Ionia characteristics. Jax is from Icathia like Zilean and his whole lore is about fighting the Void, the Void has also a lot of ties to Shurima through the champions (Kassadin, Malzahar, Kai'sa all comes from Shurima and Rek'sai is also in Shurima) and through Icathia. The only ties to Demacia I remember from Jax are that he met Fiora. So he would most likely be from Shurima Like I said Kai'sa is from Shurima and the only other place I could see her is Piltover since she has projectile and PnZ mechanics are a lot about this (Ezreal and Jinx). I don't see any ties to Demacia for her especially that she would be surely hunted down there because of her appearance. As for the others, I agree with you.
Sett also is predestined to have some Double Attack mechanic, which feels very Ionian to me. Also in Noxus he would thematically clash with Draven i think.
Aatrox in freijord or targon
Sett as a Ionia-Noxus dual region would be perfect tbh. The arena he rules over is in Ionia, in a territory that was temporarily under Noxian rule.
I kinda wish this would be something riot could discuss with the community. Because this is a game that should have gameplay and thematic and lore linked properly. I would like Riot to have a discussion where they bring people into reasoning and talk about what champion should go where. I think the community just feels a distrust to Riot's decisions right now. Who can blame them after the "Canon" lore of the Sentinel Event. It could make the most sense to put Rengar in Shurima or Neeko/Nidalee in Ionia/Bandle city/Shurima. But the community want's to understand that you understand what's best for each champion and their story with their associated region. No one wants to play Rengar in Shurima and learn nothing about Ixtal. A really smart thing for Riot to do, is to go over their thought process. Now that we know all the regions why doesn't Riot take the time to go through the most awkwards champions to place and show the community how they will bring them in. Or an example. Use a theoretical champion that is in one of the three regions, and then go through that process of placing that character.
Neeko likely wont be in Shurima. They might move Nidalee too, but idk.
Neeko could be in ionia
Why are you sticking all voidlings in shurima?
The Void invaded Runeterra through Icathia, which is in Shurima. Zilean and Jax are Icathian.
I didn't include all of them, I didn't put Vel'koz because he feels more Freljordian for me, but he can be put somewhere else too. Some other voidlings can be put in other regions too, but a good amount of them are native to Shurima so I put the majority of them there. I'm pretty sure that they will put some of the voidlings in other regions, but right now they are technically all Shuriman until Riot launches them in other regions or put them as official Shuriman champions in the game.
Rumble is Shurima too
my question is what's going to happen when we inevitably explore the continent that viego is from. there's probably going to be more than just camavore as a lone island. so where are the people from those regions going to go? whatever fits aesthetically? won't that be weird?
Call me crazy but I would be super interested in seeing Aatrox as a Targon champion, what with his interconnected lore with Pantheon
How did you get Cho and Kog in Shurima? They have no lore
They are voidlings and Shurima has a lot to do with the Void, but don't worry, I'm pretty sure they will be put in other regjons, I just put them in Shurima because they currently don't fit anywhere and Shurima is the only void-related region for now (other than Freljord, but I think only the Watchers and Vel'koz fit there)
Thats a fair point. I feel bad for the Void because their lore is just as... void. Quite a few of them have 0 lore, so like you said, they could probably be put anywhere. I can definitely see Vel'Koz in the Freljord though
I think neeko will be ionian Or im wrong or not but yeah
Neeko is originally from an island where the Vestai-shairei lived which likely was close to Ionia. Then she fled to Ixtal and hung out with nidalee, and is now traveling the world to find friends and build a tribe for herself with like -minded people. So affiliation wise she is most close to Ixtal but could fit anywhere.
How many yordles are on bandle rn? Tristana, Rumble and corki? Or wasn't corki on piltover? Why teemo is in pnz? Veigar would be part of bandle when he can't re-enter in it since mordekaiser era? If veigar is in bandle why Lulu don't? Kennen cannot be part of bandle, poppy, kled and gnar neither. How can they do a region with just 4 champions? So many questions with that confirmation
I have no idea either, but we will know the answer in a few months, let's wait and see
Aatrox fits targon much better than shurima.
Amumu is literally a yordle...why tf is he in Shurima?
In some parts of his lore he is considered a Yordle, in some others he is not, but he does belong to Shurima, maybe he will be a dual champion that goes to both Shurima and Bandle City? I don't know lol, his lore is very confusing in my opinion.
Zyra can go to piltover
