Why I think a Ionia Event would be unfair :/

Darius Strada·Dec 28, 2015·4 votes·1,249 views

One thing.We all (most of us) like Ionia because it's where the ninjas and samurais and cool stuff comes from.Who doesn't love , or ? But Ionia has the biggest cast of champions: (I think I got them all) and through their back story we know a lot of Ionia, same gos to Shadow Isles since we have the Black Mist every year and to Demacia, Noxus(although Noxus looks like in a brink of a civil war),Piltover and Zaun.That's why I think the Events should go to the places that barely(or not at all) have a story like they did with Shurima and Bilgewater and hopefully, in my opinion, Mount Targon(confirmed), Icathia or Kumungu Jungle should have the next event.

What do you think?

Definitely would love to see an event around Bandle City. We hardly know about this mysterious place, and with Poppy's lore - there seems to be a lot about the Yordles that we really don't know much about in general.

Because we already have a lot yordles(same with Ionia)

But Yordles do need a lore expansion.

After Targon (I'm biased obviously).

I'm hoping for an eventual Bandle City event, but that's just because of my love for Yordles. I say as I sit next to my Gnar plushie

This event will probably include at least the ninja (that is plural), Syndra (connected to Zed), the new champ (Jihn/Deadeye?), Garen, Vi, and Sona.

I honestly don't mind if Ionia get some lore love.Remember,we don't know if there's an Ionia event or not.For all we know,it could just be a teaser for a new champ.

Anyway,I figure it's going to be loving of the size the Shadow Isle got back around Harrowing.Where the SI got an update history when Hecarim Kalista Karthus Mordekaiser & Thresh got their updated lore.It wasn't the full scale event Bilgewater got with skins,a gamemode,a map skin for ARAM,2 VUs (one with an update VO....twice!),1 rework,summoner icons,3 logins,a whole bunch of art,lore galore & freaking Burning Tides.

Ionia can get some lore love,but I want the next full scale lore-based event to be for Targon. Leona Sun is Love! Diana Moon for Life! Pantheon Cakes for all!

Damn straight. We can peak into Ionia, as long as we get our Targon even before an Ionia event.

Overall I think that almost every nation could need an event(except for Bilgewater,Shadow isles,shurima(who still need the full lores) and freljord).

Even Noxus,Demacia and ionia aren't that well defined compared to those above. I mean we currently don't know how Ionia managed to win the war.

However I agree that nations like mt.targon and so on need it een more,they are barely defined at all and thus could use such an event much better.

RalanrDec 28, 20152 votes

I think Ionia would need multiple events to do it justice. At least the kinkou order needs a separate event.

GreenLoreDec 28, 20152 votes

Yeah that is true. There is also the growing dissatisfaction within Ionia of those who think the old traditions are only a hindrance to Ionia. I mean Varus took in the corruption he was meant to protect for revenge, Syndra broke her limits(and her teacher...) and Zed mastered the secrets of the box

Karma also broke the pacifistic traditions of her home,but tries to get the best out of both ways.

Balance.

If anything, Karma is the best representation of change in Ionia.

I still think she'd be a great Teacher for Syndra.

SukishooDec 28, 20153 votes

I'd loooooooooove Mount Targon, but we need more than just 3 champions from there first item 3070

RalanrDec 28, 20152 votes

It's because there are only 3 champions that it needs an update (plus Taric is going to be from there in his rework). It needs expanding upon.

At the very least it needs more solid foundations. Pretty sure most people only know about the Lunari and Solari conflict in Targon. Rakkor was first damn it!

GenoXxDec 28, 20153 votes

Again as I said....Ionia is the most hurt after the retcon........If an event were to happen it's to go ahead and patch that up...

Lovely PantsDec 28, 20152 votes

Barely any place in Runeterra has a cohesive story going on with it yet. Honestly, out of personal preference I'd rather hit up some of the bigger city-states first and spend some time anchoring the core of the political conflict which had defined much of LoL's lore prior to ripping out any semblance of a backbone to the current conflict between nations with the removal of the League itself.

Wait........didnt Udyr get moved to Freljord?

RalanrDec 28, 20151 votes

I mean, he learned Kung-fu in Ionia.

FasmodeyDec 28, 20151 votes

Lee Sin and Udyr weren't from Ionia in original lore as I know. And a lot of them are old champions.

ZT XperimentorDec 28, 20151 votes

Not to mention there's plenty of champions without allegiance to any particular nation; like bard & maokai.

VaralessiaDec 28, 20151 votes

Ionia got fuckled with the lore retcon, suddenly half their champions lore was suddenly up in the air as the resolution to the war was entirely reliant on the League's intervention, and we don't really know a ridiculous amount about Ionia, especially with the depth Riot has set with stuff like the Shadow Isles, and now that their one event no longer has a proper resolution it's unfair to go "Well they have the most champions, that must mean they have the most in depth lore"

RalanrDec 28, 20151 votes

The event decided who won right? They could just still be fighting.
