There is a Void champion that is probably slated to be released soon

NA Darklarik··20 votes·3,319 views

Couple of hints towards this have been in the recent Targon story.

We know that their are many Aspects Pantheon Leona Diana Taric uniting at the same time because something is coming.

Aurelion Sol has also been called back because something is coming. In both Diana's and Aurelion Sol's lore, they fight against **Void **creatures, particularly, in ASol's lore he comments on there being a type of 'hive-mind' entity that is tearing a rift between dimensions and leading the void, he had to be called to stop it.

Not only is he being called again, but 4 other aspects have manifested at the same time. No other evil faction of Runaterra has been shown to offer resistance against Targon and ASol (Sol even comments on how everyone in runaterra is secretly 'conquered' by Targon and Shurima being the 'Premiere' civilization amongs humans, which likely puts them above the watchers).

So unless a new faction is going to be introduced to pose as threat, this only leaves the Void as a possible adversary to Targon and Aurelion.

I'm more inclined to believe Riot simply knows what the hell the Void actually is more than there's a new Void champion on the horizon.

Though I would love a new Void champion. LOVE IT.

Maybe an event? I'm hoping, in this order, the next event is for Plague Jungles, Void, Shurima, etc.

I remember that a rioter actually talked about how they would like to create a sort of swarm-champion and I think that something like this would actually fit nicely into the void,especially as some sort of void hive-mind.

Though I think it is possible that riot merely has the idea of such an important void creature existing,even if they don't plan to make it a champion(heck what if it turns out to be Zz'rot,I mean that thing created portable void portals).

I'd love a disease and locust and swarm champion. Like the D&D lamia or larva Mage.

Considering that this takes place in the "past" relative to where the game takes place, the figure in the void could realistically be any void champ currently on the roster. The biggest contender I would think being Cho'Gath, since he's kinda got that sense of power and immenseness about him and his character. Seems like the kinda guy to laugh maniacally.

I would love it if it was a new void champ though!

Wait, were did we see a figure in the void, pls link meh

Sol's lore didn't say anything about a hive-mind.

It said that he felt an intelligence behind the Void incursion.

Your white blood cells don't have a hive-mind. They simply do their job mindlessly as part of your body.

You need wayyyyy more Flood/Tyranid/Zerg knowledge to know how these Monster swarm tropes/cliches work bud.

That intelligence is the hivemind.

I'm very familiar with all the shitty Formic knock-offs that have flooded out of bad sci-fi over the years, thanks.

Just because a swarm of things operates toward a common goal doesn't require a collective intelligence guiding them. Nothing we've seen of the Void thus far suggests a hive-mind. We've seen purely animal Voidborn. We've seen intelligent Voidborn with their own desires and goals. We've seen that Voidborn can have conflicting desires and goals (Vel vaporizing some other Voidborn, which would never happen in a true hive-mind). This isn't indicative of a unified collective intelligence. This is indicative of a malign Will that controls through prodding toward it's goals rather than simply using Voidborn as its own limbs. By all accounts, the Voidborn have a very clear concept of self and other.

This Will reached out to Malz and corrupted him. This Will used that rebirth to prod Kog toward physical existence. This Will apparently likes to snicker at astral dragons, too, while funneling Voidborn through intricately woven gaps in the weave of reality for the purpose of... devouring, I guess? I'm still holding out hope that we'll get more information on the nature of this Voice beyond 'it's mysterious' and/or 'it's hungry'.

Didn't Aurelion Sol come back because now he is able to free himself of Targon's yoke?

Anyway, I hope that Taric's Lore and color text will give some more insight.

They have been anticipating a great catastrophe since Freljord, when Gnar was frozen because his rage gene would be useful to battle something, that was coming to this present era in Runeterra

Though that catastrophe that they are talking about are likely the watchers,not the void,as Gnars family was seemingly attacked by one of them.

Its highly unlikely its the Watchers. They just dont seem powerful enough considering they were beaten by humans/iceborns, who acording to AS are a weaker civilization than the Shurima. He said that ALL of human-king is conquered by Targon, in secret, and i did not see either Lissandra or Azir comment on this, they still think they can conquer the world. It should come to no surprise the Iceborn empire fell, they just arent that strong.

This is something that poses enough of a world wide threat that Aurelion also needs to be called.

He came because he was called because if he did not stop the void threat the world was lost, his objection to free himself just coincided with his summon.

Well if we believe greyor,then the watchers did manage to conquer all of runeterra,which does sound like they were rather powerful and the empire only fell when the watchers fell(quite literally).

Also the creature that attacked gnar looked a lot like a watcher and according to a rioter he was frozen by anivia. All this connects to the freljord and the freljord has no known connections to the void. And I dunno where Aurelion Sol says that humans/iceborn are a weaker civilization than Shurima...

He says they are the "Premiere" civilization. That pretty much says they are the most poweful and advanced one among all of Runatera, and even then he has a low opinion of them.

And even still, Watchers are conquered by Targon. Runatera belongs to Targon, as does most of the known galaxy by what it seems. I just dont see them remotely being able to face Aurelion, it definitely dosent seem like something 4 aspects and a God would be called to handle.

GreenLore1 votes

I think you misunderstand me.

I replied to Sancres post,who talked about how a rioter said that anivia froze gnar,so that gnar could help to prevent a great catastrophe in the future. So I am talking about Anivias reason for freezing gnar,not why the targonians and aurelion are called towards runeterra.

My entire point is that these catastrophes are different ones. Gnar was likely frozen to fight the watchers,while the targonians and aurelion came to runeterra because of a different reason(probably the void)

Oh then your off topic :T go talk bout gnar theories somewhere else

Well I responded to Sancres theory that the threat that gnar is supposed to face and the threat that the targonians are gonna face are one and the same,I didn't mean to turn this into a discussion about gnars threat^^

Please link me to the pic or whatever that says gnar got attacked by a watcher, it sounds pretty kool

Here you go http://promo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/gnar/

While there are some theories about the creature actually being from the void,it does fit the concept art of watcher(it has the same horns) http://abload.de/img/wp_20151231_001lupji.jpg and the statues on the howling abyss fit that as well http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=881029&d=1390204103

Just like we only have the one Yordle scientist and one archer.

Pyrodinium3 votes

It's not about thematics, but gameplay clarity.

The Champion team puts a lot of effort into each champion having a distinct silhouette.

Yes, we have three Yordle scientists, but one of them has an humogonous head, another carries a gigantic bomb in his back, and the third is piloting a mecha made of trash.

Ashe and Varus are both archers, for sure, but Ashe is wearing a cloak alongside her somewhat slim bow, while Varus carries an oversized bow and assumes a very different stance from the Avarosan ruler.

GreenLore2 votes

Well I think there would be possibilities to make another serpentine champion without making it too similar to aurelion,I mean aurelion has really big head,arms(ok he has legs too,but they are barely visible) and is almost always surrounded by his comets.

Though I think that it'd be weird for them release 2 serpentine champs one after the other and void-snake feels a bit underwhelming(not sure about the skills,I can't see the picture on its original source)

Cassiopeia ?

Pyrodinium2 votes

Not really serpentine in-game.

Her tail remains coiled behind her at all times, making her silhouette quite compact.

macromite1 votes

i mean, it's more of a warning than anything. the cass mains lurk on these boards, and they can strike at any moment.

Pyrodinium1 votes

It's perfectly possible that they struck hours ago. Given the state of Cassiopea right now, it would be hard to tell if you were bitten.

maaaaaaaybe? Aurelion Sol came back a looooooooong time ago, during original Azir times, I think.

Diana's story did hint at something coming, but I'm not sure it's necessarily happening any time soon.
