What region do you want to see get their lore updated next?

Forhonor321·May 14, 2017·2 votes·894 views

So far, we've gotten a fairly large number of region updates + the champs associated with them. Bilgewater, Shurima, Mt. Targon, Piltover/Zaun, the Shadow Isles, and the latest being Demacia with the Galio update. Now that leaves the remaining: Noxus, Freljord, Bandle City, the Void, and Ionina (which you can argue got a tiny bit updated with the Vastaya put into it) to be updated. And just a pretty straight foward question: which one would you like to see updated next? Me personally, as much as I would love to see the Void get more clarity and insight on it or the Freljord to see where they take the lore and champs like Sej and Liss with, I'd like to see Noxus get updated and see what they can do, mostly because some of my favorite champs are from there and because I want to see if they can try and not make them seem like the straight up evil nation like in the old lore.

Bandle City because I want yordles to make sense so I don't have to keep explaining them to people.

Explain them to me Kappa

No but for real explain them maybe I missed something new about Yordles

Providing you've kept up to date with yordle stuff there's nothing new to report at present.

Bandle, because we literally know nothing about that place... at least we had small updates for places like Ionia, Freljord and Noxus with the lore f the Vastaya, Shen, Jhin, Zed, the whole Freljord Event, Kled and Sion.

The last champion released from Bandle was Lulu (Or Rumble, since she was expelled from Bandle) if we consider that Kled is Noxian and Gnar from the jungle. Heck, even the updated lore of Tristana happens in Ionia (as far as i remember) instead of Bandle.

Noxus. Mainly because I want an updated Sion background lore that tells us more about the man Sion was.

Cause that can make his current state more tragic and I fucking love that kind of tragedy.

Honestly, of the remaining groups Noxus is the only one I'm remotely interested in. And that's because I have hope that I'll be reading some neat political intrigue run by Swain and Leblanc.

RalanrMay 14, 20172 votes

Imo political intrigue is less interesting when all the important players (champions) are on the same side.

And yes, I know Katarina is against Swain (at least I hope she still is). But she's not the kind of person (as far as we know) to actively engage in politics.

Cassiopeia seems more likely to do that and I don't think she's going to many public political meetings these days.

Warlord DienekesMay 14, 20171 votes

It depends on how the story is constructed. Take A Clash of Kings, for example. Most of the political intrigue parts are just in Tyrion's point of view and it's the best part of the book. Sure, Sansa is kind of still there, but she more just had intrigue happen at her. So long as there are enemies to play against it doesn't matter if the main characters are on the same side.

Though, personally, I am of the opinion eventually Swain and Leblanc will have a split in their interests. And I admit I'm looking forward to that more than watching them centralize their political power, as I'm guessing their introductory lore will have them do. Gotta set up the status quo (Swain and Leblanc as allies) before you can break it.

And of course the other side of Noxus is a good war story. And I love good martial violence as much, if not more, than the next guy.

Yes but the enemies usually tend to have someone that's an important player eventually. And since the important players in league lore are often the champions, it draws much less drama or risk if Swain isn't competing against another champion politically.

True and I am interested to see how their political relationship evolves. Judging by the resurrection of Sion, they could be on...interesting terms.

Warlord DienekesMay 16, 20172 votes

True, but on the other hand Tyrion had to get through a full book dealing with Cersei, Littlefinger, and Joffrey. Swain and Leblanc's new lores really will only have to be 2 color texts that are each about a chapter's worth of words. I think it's fine to show them gain their power with a throw-away antagonist for them to defeat.

RalanrMay 16, 20172 votes

A throwaway antagonist is fine as long as they acknowledge there are many more pieces on the chessboard left.

The Void desperately needs a lore update ever since the retcons to the League no longer existing and all of the other regions have already been fairly updated. Icathia is becoming more prominent, and is still highly unexplained. The void currently is just "big purple bugs".

SickAntoMay 14, 20172 votes

Freljord, but i'm sure(like others) the next update is Noxus with Urgot's rework. Then, i desire Freljord is the next after Noxus. I love this region and Ashe is my favorite character(with Diana), want know what realy happened at Frostheld, with her mother, the relation of others champs and if the marriage remain ONLY political and not romance. I want know more too who the hell is Serylda, respect the others two sisters, we don't have any information of her.

Noxus. From the hints we've gotten, it seems like the 'superpower' faction that all the others need to deal with in some way. I think that a lot of lore questions pertaining to recent history could fall into place once we know more about Noxus. Also, hoping for a cool collection of war-mason maps.

NoctkazakuMay 14, 20171 votes

In the Noxus update that I suspect will be coming with Urgot's rework I would like to see Darius and Draven's lore updated. I think Katarina and Talon's lore could also be updated, if they are doing a Noxus lore update with Urgot's rework.

GrievousFetusMay 14, 20171 votes

I just hope Urgot's update is explained in universe via the lore. Galio and Warwick were simply retconned outright, meanwhile GP's rework was explained via his supposed death and the sinking of his ship, and pre- and post- rework GP both at one point existed in the lore canonically instead of old GP being retconned out of existence.

Urgot is a cyborg half machine abomination, if anything he'd be the easiest to have his rework explained from an in-universe perspective via Noxian High Command outfitting him with new machinery, literally upgrading him.

Eternal791May 14, 20171 votes

Not sure cause we may be getting a new champion (as a rioter has said) before Urgot. Otherwise I'd bet on Noxus.

GreenLoreMay 14, 20171 votes

Personally I'd like to see a freljord update.

I want to know a bit more about how Udyr and Volibear joined the winters claw and whats the situation with ashe and tryndamere.

Though I think Noxus has currently the best chance to get a lore update since Urgots rework is the next VGU(but then again Urgot isn't exactly a central noxus champ)

ReisenTheDosMay 14, 20171 votes

Personally, even though I would love to see updates on my favorite champs with already updated lore, I like to see Bandle City get that lore update.

IamHuuVanMay 14, 20171 votes

lol Demacia doesn't have a new champion for so long, anyway, I vote for the Void

Chromatic EagleMay 15, 20171 votes

Ionia, since this whole Noxian invasion thing is a vague mess imo since the removal of the league. Granted, now we have an idea as to why Noxus invaded, and why Demacia didn't help. All we're missing is how the Ionians repelled Noxus.
