I really like alternate lore skins, will we be seeing more of those?

Alternate lore skins (Justicar Syndra Aatrox , Sandstorm and bilgewater Katarina bilgewater Swain , noxian Poppy ) the list goes on, and theyre really cool, so will we see anything similar? Like Ionian Taliyah or noxian Lissandra (Obviously just throwing out random ideas here)

Sandstorm and bilgewater Katarina can be easily considered as NOT alternative lore... as both could be part of her gear on missions she was you know... Assassin and stuff... ect ect...

UM, I disagree Bilgewater would imply her life, inside bilge water. Sandstorm would be more along the lines of shurima

So a girl around 23 years, who spent her time training as an assassin and has no Internet or TV, can't go to shurima for example in that period of life? Knowing that shurima is close to nexus and she deals with politics too, not only assassination. You realize thet rune terrain is 1/10,000 in size of earth and they have magic. People here travel the world daily. So she can't do it with a ship or a horse or magic???? Well nice logic there... Forgot to add. Cassio is her sister and recent lore changes make it lookiek she went to shurima so what stops Kat? Plus bilge water is literally 10 miles by sea from noxus

Actually, Riot stated that not all of Runeterra has been discovered, and that there's more than just valoran and a few islands around it.

zrWQMdGHtY1 votes

It's still smaller than earth... I know very well that it's not the whole thing otherwise noxus and demacia would war via sea for smaller distance ...

Where was it said that it was smaller than earth? Genuinely curious.

And you do realize that if Runeterra was 1/10,000th the size of the earth, there wouldn't be a whole ton of room for anything other than Valoran. It's a big place.

Also, why would Kat have gone to shurima? It's not like it was a thriving place with people to assassinate until recently. Bilgewater I can see, but Kat isn't treasure-hungry like Cass.

The world we see is hardly bigger than Bulgaria but you need to finally see the map to realize it.
Literally nothing stops Kat from going to shurima for anything at all.. She could of went to speak to a village there. To take her sister back. To kill a prince. To hide something. To kill a beast. Quit arguing. There is tons of reasons for her to go. I was planning to not make a shurima chapter but you'll force me to, to show how easy it is.

midnight oil242 votes

Again, you're kind of being a jerk on this whole Katarina topic. First off, there were no princes in Shurima for a long time, the royal family (or at least what was known of it) died with azir.

Second, you undermine your entire argument when you tell someone to stop arguing. It shows that you are not keeping an open mind in the argument.

Third, are you sure you're writing chapters for the right reasons? You should write because you find it fun, not shoehorn in a chapter about Kat going to Shurima just to prove that it's easy for her to go.

zrWQMdGHtY1 votes

Just stop it. You tell me to be open minded while you literally ignore the fact that she could of went to shurima.

P. S I write for my own reasons not for 'fun'

midnight oil242 votes

She could have gone, but if it hasn't been shown in-lore, we don't know if it's canon. And I was just providing my counterarguments.

zrWQMdGHtY1 votes

My words were literally SHE COULD OF WENT. Riot cant write about every bloody second of her life. They can't give you a detail description how she showers or eats. Not every mission she ever had. She could of went. None of us to know as it isn't written, but the skin can just be a mention that she did, instead of writing text about it. Quit arguing with me. You are the close minded here. We speak about years difference in period between her actions. You think she just sits home whole day?????

midnight oil241 votes

I don't think she sits at home all day.

Also, I think you need to take some breaths. You're angry and people don't phrase things well when they are angry. Trust me, you could present your arguments in a much less "pissed off guy" way, and when you present in this manner, it doesn't make your argument better.

Also I would like to remind you that you're the person who gets mad at artists for not drawing katarina exactly right and insulting people for shipping Garen and Kat until they stop shipping them. You don't have to ship them, but you're not allowed to force your opinions on others.

He didnt flame you because of what you told me. He did it because you don't know when to stop. Best you seriously quit it or I'll just message him that I agree...

midnight oil241 votes

Wait, is this a different guy?

And he can just make me stop by not replying. It's kind of simple. And I'm just trying to say what someone needs to tell him. He needs to stop being so rude, he can be a really nice guy but he also needs to accept that other people have different opinions.

And what are you agreeing with?

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Runeterra was that small in the old lore before they retconned it.

midnight oil241 votes

Ah, so it's now the size of an actual planet?

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Yep. Valoran is now a single landmass on the world.

zrWQMdGHtY1 votes

Why when you say it ppl agree and when I say it I'm an idiot? ¬¬ and the size of an actually planet... Mars is a planet too and it's way smaller than earth... Some ppl need to understand that planets aren't earth sized.

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Probably because you didn't say what I said.

You said that Runeterra was tiny and everything was mushed on it.

I said Runeterra was a large planet and Valoran was just a continent on it.

zrWQMdGHtY1 votes

I'm sure it's large. Like Mars...

P.S Tamriel is proven to be bigger than Runeterra and at the end they showed the size is 1000 times smaller than earth. So...

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

As far as I know, it can't be proven that Tamriel is bigger than Runeterra. Because you have basically no evidence that Runeterra doesn't include way more continents than Valoran.

How do you know the whole planet is not a billion times bigger than the land mass we know about?

zrWQMdGHtY1 votes

Because no human alive ever managed to make a planet bigger than earth in their imagination and stuff and yeah. Tammie is waaaaay bigger than runeterra, plus I don't need proof because it will get called fake news and a week later someone will use it againts me and it will be magically real news... Har har

As an author, I take mild offense. XD

Just because a content creator only tells you about this portion of the world (let's say... a single continent), doesn't mean that 1. the content creator doesn't have other ideas about different land masses, 2. the world isn't full of other landmasses, as yet unbeknownst to the main cast, or 3. that another land mass (or planet) is bigger or smaller... just because someone who is not the content creator says or decides it is.

I keep my writing contained, often, to a single continent, or smaller. This doesn't mean I don't have other places in this world which I could talk about.

I often only mention one or two fantasy religions, if I'm discussing any of them at all, this doesn't mean that those are the only religions (or that their aren't cults and sects of those religions that worship differently).

I often only mention the races necessary to the story, though I have a veritable bestiary of creatures that do or could exist in that world.

Just because x is the only thing mentioned doesn't mean y doesn't exist. [slayer-jinx-catface]

In other news: I can't believe I read the whole argument. The heck. I must be bored.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Totally agree with you so I hope I didn't phrase it wrongly, because that is exactly what I meant (since you ansered my post with "take mild offense").

FloRaider421 votes

Isn't every skin an alternate lore skin? Or are you searching for what if X was part of faction Y?

Succubús GF1 votes

Not really, like annies skins don't really draw any lores in, however syndras justicar skin gives an insight of what she would look like if she went a "good " path

The Program/PROJECT/Mecha/Battlecast/Creator Viktor skins are all an alternate timeline effectively discovered by Pulsefire Ezreal in which Viktor's Glorious Evolution has taken hold of the world. This has been set in stone by the revelation of the Battlecast creatures in the splash arts of the other skin lines, as well as the intermingling quotes about the other lines from those such as Program Camille and Mecha Zero Sion.

Not time lines. Different realities there is a huge difference.

If you want to get technical, all of those skins are technically Zaunian :)

Idc if they are made in China. It's a different world, not a different time.

Wow everyone on this thread seems to hate you.

zrWQMdGHtY1 votes

The whole boards. The whole ingame community. Stange enough only the support team doesn't, but they get paid not to. Even it i dont see how much they get paid to reply to ticket that goes month and plus in age with almost few hundred replies in it ^^

I vote for Frejlord Varus! Honestly, I apparently just want to see him either blue... or blond with blue eyes, apparently. Varus

Or, like, Janna where, instead of becoming the goddess of the disenfranchised and downtrodden, she became a holy terror, feeding off of fear instead of the prayers for help (or whatever it is that kept her from disappearing). Janna

Like Ivern before he became a tree? Sort of like one of Ryze's skins I think. Jhin unmasked or Freiljord Ekko would be cool
