Demacia needs heroes

The last Demacian champion release was Lucian back in 2013 (nearly five years ago), not counting the VGUs of Poppy and Galio who were already on the roster. I know Ionia is a popular faction, but other regions deserve new champs too, and the Demacian lore update makes it ripe for expansion -- perhaps even in the form of a villain to shake things up?

Bandle City is another area that hasn’t seen new releases in a long while, but at least there was Kled in late 2016. It’s just a bit sad to see some factions go without new characters for so long in spite of their potential. I mean there are a ton of archetypes that could be interesting within Demacia in particular — a high-ranking political official who uses dark magic in secret while punishing mages, or a fair maiden who uses the sacred fruit and waters of her grove to heal the injured, or a medieval dragon knight who rides atop the legendary ebony wyverns. Honestly, I think Demacia has a lot of untapped potential and I hope there’ll be someone new waiting for us in 2018.

What Demacia needs is a VILLAIN

Obligatory "champions not heroes".

And the major problem with the lore right now (as I see it) is that nothing can really advance properly until everything is properly updated and brought into the post-League lore. Which IS happening, but it's happening very slowly.

Riot likes their pseudo-asia too much, be prepared for more.

Just to be correct: Kled is Noxian.

It is true that Demacia didn't get a new champion for quite a while and I can agree that the region could use another one in the next time. But at least Demacia has a good number of champions overall. I think that Riot should focus on fleshing out regions with a small champion pool for the next time as a priority.

At least we get a new Bilgewater champion soon, but we could still use more champs from Mount Targon, Piltover, Bandle City, Shadow Isles.... And please, take a break from Ionia for at least like 2 years.... that region is really really crowded and got 3 new champions just in the last year....

Seems we are heading back to Bilgewater with the newest champ.
