Can we finally have a void champ again?

Ibrahim Acises··56 votes·2,348 views

Our last void champion was 2 years ago with Reksai. I think it is time for a new void champion, who is primarily designed for the support position. It could maybe debuff enemies with its fangs or blind them with acid. This would make the champion unique, because we currently have no support with debuffs.

Hopefully we'll get at least one Void Champ in 2017.

I proper support would be nice. I kind of want to see a parasitic support, maybe being able to merge with an ally and gain new abilities while inside while buffing its host. Or some "portal master" that can have an ability that redirects projectiles and focuses on positioning (moving itself & allies, displacing enemies, or maybe even both).

Exactly, i had the same thought about a parasitic void creature, which can infect enemies with debuffs like destroying the armor of the target for 3 seconds.

Braum and Yasuo aren't enough? You really wants ADC's to whine MORE?

Put's a medium sized AoE on ground, buffs attack speed for allies inside Whilst inside host, heal 15% of damage dealt by host Crawl inside host, healing host and buffing ad by a percentile jet from host similar to a kalista ult, under your control

Well, I think those are nice tbh; took about 5 minutes so don't judge

How about another odd champ like fiddlesticks rather than this badass shit. We should have a mimic.

disclaimer it is way too early in the morning here so i'm not thinking really hard yet BUT lore and theme-wise i don't think riot wants to do anything more like fiddlesticks. they want their characters to fit into the world they've created with few exceptions of clear origin, like they're retconning all of the old "mystery champion from mysteryland" sorta stuff and so adding someone odd in the fiddlesticks way would seem to grate against their goal. you probably already know how and where the champ would fit into the lore and i'd love to talk to you about it

Ariel the Cruel3 votes

Incidentally, Fiddlesticks wasn't originally attached to the IoW. He was retconned to be part of it. In the original lore, he was sent to herald the coming of some evil witch or other. Hence his title, "Harbinger of doom".

But I think they can easily fit an odd champ like fiddle sticks into it considering they're including godly aliens in it ( aurelion sol ) or outer world aliens like voidlings. Though i know you're just replying I think it's a silly reason to just say it doesn't fit the lore atm when they are constantly changing it.

dapositiveviking1 votes

the void is a supported area in the lore, and A-sol is attached to mt targon even while being much stronger than the rest of the champions. older champions like fiddle, jax, nocturne, annie (to a lesser) have recieved self criticism from riot for having very specific, easily removable stories

A Void Support at long last? Please let it be.

And an Official support, not something like Velkoz with item 2301 and then full damage.

Ibrahim Acises2 votes

Yes please, I hate it too that some people think Velkoz is a support when he can only provide for damage.

Nymzo1 votes

I only play velkoz ''support'' when my team decided to pick no ap threat and I'm last pick, lol.

Any form of CC is a debuff really.

Ibrahim Acises3 votes

With debuff I meant like shredding the armor or mr of the target for x seconds.

I really want another human Void champion, that could finally tie together Malzahars and Kassadins lore We have plenty of void beasts Chogath Khazix KogMaw RekSai Velkoz Not that i'd hate seeing a new addition though

A new human void champ would be interesting too.

Why not a Void Beast turned human? Maybe see the long-term effects of being released from the Void as a Voidling? :3

Remember Dark Star Thresh's trailer? Yeah, I thought THAT was gonna be the next Void champ. If the wound of a betrayal can't heal, how can it be forgiven?

Ibrahim Acises1 votes

Exactly, I was so disappointed when I found out that it was only for a skin.

Cynical Rain2 votes

I really don't want this. I find most void champions ugly and repulsive. Even though Vel'koz fits my playstyle, I refrain from buying him because he looks so bad. His skin making him a squiddy is alright I guess.

I want an old-school midlaner or support. A traditional mage type where everything in the kit syncs nicely for combat/control, and nothing else.

Ibrahim Acises5 votes

It is ok to dislike the design of void champions but it doesnt mean that riot shouldnt release them anymore. My favorite faction is the void and im a support main. Having a badass void champion in the support position with new mechanics would also make the support position more attractive for new players who want to play support.

Cynical Rain1 votes

They could make someone like Malzahar. Satisfies you, satisfies me.

Besides, I'm just throwing out an opinion. Riot acts based on the popular voice, and their own systems. People like Void, it's not going to stop, but I'd like it to. Hell, even Vel'koz was created as a weird alien because people wanted something new. I remember a big thread about it, where they didn't want anything humanoid, because it was overdone. Riot also listened to the general voice concerning oddly shaped skillshots. People didn't want just rectangles. Most of the time, the community chooses stuff I dislike though.

Ibrahim Acises1 votes

Hmm I dont like zaun champions but i would never be against Riot releasing them. Also riot wants to fulfill every archetype in their game. Velkoz is like this alien who seeks knowledge by disintegrating people. Which new champions would you like to see in the game?

How about a void defector who is torn between his evil nature and wanting to help innocent people? If he's part human, I imagine some kind of ultimate that transforms him into more of a void abomination.

Csof2 votes

That would actually be an amazing idea. The ult would be similar to gnar passive though but the idea of a human that has an ult that transforms him into a much more powerful void beast would be really cool

I like mythological creatures. Anivia, Ahri, Cassiopeia, Galio, Nami.

I also like fantasy characters like Xerath, Karthus, Fiddlesticks, Thresh, Maokai, Hecarim, Morgana, Blitzcrank, Nocturne.

Then there's humans which look "exotic", particularly like mages or priests would look like in MMORPGs. For example, Janna, Lulu, Malzahar, Brand, Ryze, Veigar, Sona, Lissandra.

Then there's humanoid champs with specific styles like Ezreal, Jinx, Jhin, Graves.

Then there's modified humanoids like Mundo, Sion, Yorick

After that, they start becoming neutral and disliked champions, but to varying degrees. From best (neutral) to worst:

  • Humanoids which aren't to my taste or generic humanoids like Sivir, Vayne, Fiora.
  • Badly proportioned humans or really buff humans like Garen, Illaoi, Gragas, Braum.
  • Odd ugly stuff like Teemo, Urgot and Void champions.

That said, it always varies based on the style of each individual champion. For example, while I love mythological creatures, I hate Aurelion Sol's design. He looks so bad. I think it has to do with Riot wanting to establish their own vision/interpretations of whatever they make. In trying to do that though, you sometimes make horrible stuff just to make it unique. A dragon, whether an eastern or western version shouldn't look anything like Aurelion Sol.

They generally space out faction champions by a 2 Year schedule. Or they TRY to.

Ibrahim Acises1 votes

Yea I guess you are right, but It would be so cool to have at least 1 void champion for every position.

Void Bringer Illaoi....

Do i really have to explain why Void Bringer Illaoi, is not a void champion? It's a skin, with no lore or connections to the void besides it's name and purple effects, not a void champion.

It think it'd be cool if we got ninja adc who was balanced around not having a support. Not sure if it possible, but it would pretty unique and cool.

Samuel4441 votes

I think that something like a void ambassador would e cool. I mean Velkoz shows that void creatures can be highly intelligent and capable of planning, so there could be some kind of vaguely humanoid creature that goes to Runeterra to attempt to manipulate countries into indirectly help the void, like by encouraging Noxians or Zaunites to do crazy magic stuff for power or something. The champion could be a shapeshifter to fit the role too, which would be cool.

I don't think void characters would ever fit the support role. Looking at all the void roster we have now, it doesn't feel like the place that would have a creature capable of cooperation or the benevolence to protect someone else. I do however agree a new void champion is overdue. Maybe it'll finally be Kog'Maw's dad that went to buy milk 6 years ago and still hasn't returned. KogMaw "Terror coming. Daddy coming." Your daddy isn't coming Kog'Maw, you're abandoned, now stop spitting everywhere and eat like a proper person.

I'm thinking more of a vanguard.

I always liked the idea of each faction/region having at least one champ designed to be a particular role. I know people use Cho'Gath as a melee support sometimes, but he doesn't strike me as really being built for the role, just being a good enough tank to serve as a meat shield to your ADC at full size.
