We all know Ryze is the foundation of the league of legends lore and he knows whats been going on in Runeterra since the rune wars. I'd like to see more in the animated series rather than just jinx, Vi, and Warwick i'm not saying Ryze has to be the main character i'm just saying i want to feel like i'm involved in the world of Runeterra instead of just Piltover and Zaun. I want to see Shurima, Noxus, Demacia and other places that can further expand the lore. Unless the animated series is just focused on Piltover and Zaun im not sure how they would implement Ryze. I'm sure Riot will do a great job making this series I just think including Ryze in the animated series would be cool.

I would prefer if Ryze stays out of it.

The potential is there that Shurima is relevant, since the Hextech crystals were originally taken from there. But Ryze shouldn't be in the show in my opinion, simply because they are connecting everything too much in the last time. Not everything in Runeterra has to be connected in some way.

Before the retcon, Darkin were an own, alien race with bloodmagic. Now they changed it so Darkin are corrupted Ascended... corrupted by the void, which is now also the big bad evil the Ascended were supposed to fight against. Just like Mount Targon is also fighting the void. And now also suddenly the Freljord with Lissandra standing against the watchers.... which are now the overlords of the void? Oh and by the way, the void is also leaking in the ocean, so we need Nami to be another champion to fight the void.

Aaaaaand soooo ooooon. Let some regions have their own, individual stories without forcing some world enveloping connection, please.

Well I rly don't see wtf Ryze would have to do with Piltover. Still don't understand why they named it Arcane tho. Arcane is a term used for ancient magic in Runeterra. SO HOW DOES THAT FIT WITH PILTOVER WHO'S EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE?

The story is clearly focused on Piltover and its denizens, so throwing in someone who's so deeply invested in the deeper lore of the world itself doesn't really fit the tone of what they advertised.
