Now that I think about it, these new plants could be great for world building.

These plants give us a look into not just the flora of Runeterra, but the possibilities to how they are used.

Take a look at Honeyfruit. Already we can see a fruit that's probably a common ingredient for pies, juice, and other things you can make with fruits that I don't know because I'm lacking in this area of knowledge.

Then we have blast cones, which could be weapinized or be the basis of early hand held explosives in Runeterra!

Not sure what Scryer's bloom could be used for, but I'm sure it has potential!

Something's wrong when my first thought for Scryer's Bloom is suspicious spouses hiding them on their partner, so they can be tracked when they go a-wandering!

Probably better to imagine Scryer's Bloom as being like a light source for difficult situations - seeing through terrible smog in Zaun, or being handed out to a search party looking for a missing child in the forest.

(Also, do want a Honeyfruitcake recipe. Or a Honeyfruit cider. Or Honeyfruit jam. Honeyfruit candy? Or Honeyfruit almost anything.)

I can just imagine a honeyfruit harvest festival every year in the demacian countryside.

Ezreal Oh boy this is going to be good! Ekko I told you this was the best idea ever. toilet flushes sounds of running water Caitlyn hums Hey this one's out of soap. Caitlyn moves over Thanks. Caitlyn leaves Ekko ... Ezreal That was severely underwhelming.

I'm surprised to see Ezreal there, but he always seemed like the adventurous 'try anything once' type to me.

He's too busy kissing Shyvanna's leg to be fooling around like that.

Your first thought for Scryer's Bloom is more interesting. Similar "spells" that were just a bunch of herbs and other ingredients were quite common in the early modern era, which is arguably the most similar time period to Runeterra.

She can riposte anything that effects her, except turret shots

I know, i only asked because, on ascension when Xerath spawns he knocks up everyone, Fiora Cannot Riposte that.

Why the hell do I need to carry so much Scryer's Bloom, Leona? Um, because I want to make sure that my best friend always has a light even when the sun isn't out? Still I think it's a bit too much- wait, I'm your best friend? Well for some reason, Pantheon is now sort of...

Say Pantheon, do you remember when we fought at- WRAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!! (has no personality whatsoever) ...nevermind.

The only other Targonian champion that I might potentially get along with is... er...

Say, Leona? Hm? (smiles... a bit too nicely) How is that Pantheon boy doing? You talk to him, don't you? Uhhhhh...

Let's just say he makes things awkward. And don't get me started on...

Diana, your ways are not- ILOVEYOU! I MEAN... YOU ARE A FALSE PROPHET, YOU HAVE NOT SEEN WHAT I HAVE... EVEN IF IT ISN'T GOLDEN AND LACKS LOVELY RADIANT HAIR!

...isn't there someone else associated with Targon? ...I guess?

... ... ...so if those balls are suns, then- BOOP!

Well, considering his ego is probably a galaxy in and of itself, it's kind of hard to even associate with him. So the closest thing to a best friend you have is an undead conqueror from another faction who spends way too much time finding inventive ways to screw with a certain summoner?

I F$%#ING KNEW IT!

Leona Pretty much. That's sad. You're sad. Leona I know... I still say this is too much Scryer's Bloom. Leona (punches him in the shoulder) You just go and do... whatever it is Mordekaisers do. (grumbles about overprotective mortals as he walks off) You had better not be using this to spy on me! Leona Of course not! (waits for him to walk off, then begins to write in a book) Step 29 to creating Solaire of Astora... check!

I didn't have online capabilities when going through dark souls 1, so I had to grind pve to save Solaire.

Scryer bloom looks so romantic, like I imagine say... Blitzcrank just chilling in a field, he picks up one but his super big hands accidentally blow it out, causing the whole field to blow out creating a beautiful display

Kled Man WalkingOct 13, 20164 votes

since potions/elixirs are canonically a thing that exist, i'm sure the alchemists of runeterra have a field day with the plants

i could imagine people putting crushed blast cone leaves in the elixir of bloodlust, putting honeyfruit juice into the elixir of iron (and adding in the peel for a little extra kick), and sprinkling scryer's bloom into boiling water that you cook up elixirs of sorcery with.

just a thought

Tesla EffectOct 13, 20163 votes

We need more lore about flora and fauna (specifically flora, since fauna was already kinda expanded to a degree due to the need to have Monster camps in-game, as well as some animals mentioned in lore). In terms of world building, these two elements are a must.

Mokuto BunshiOct 13, 20162 votes

I think Ivern did this personally. My theory: Riot said he was close to finishing his story unlike many other champions. I think he freed a lot of the buffs (hence why the raptors got replaced) and started teaching people to use the jungle plants for their buffs instead like in his lore.

I would eat the little Blast Cone bulbs like popcorn.

Honeyfruit + Gangplank Orange juice = my smoothie of choice.

Scryer's Bloom would be used as a flare in case of danger, or to scout a cave/forest to see how deep/dark it is.

RalanrOct 13, 20163 votes

But would Veigar let others corrupt what will one day be his? I'm generally curious if Veigar would allow the void to take claim of any part of Valoran.

A Superb VillainOct 13, 20169 votes

#[LORE MODE ACTIVATE]

Honestly, no, not at all. Veigar's biggest traits are egotism and megalomania, and declaring Valoran as his own is a claim of exclusive ownership. Veigar is very much a case of himself vs everything else, including other evil powers. It is not just a matter of Veigar seeking dominance while the Void desires consumption, which are naturally conflicting goals since you can't rule over a world that no longer exists, but The Tiny Master of Evil viewing anyone that might deprive him of his conquests as undermining his authority.

Veigar is proud, despite his lack of recognizable accomplishments, selfish, and immature. There is no compromise with The Tiny Master of Evil; you are either in his way or under his boot.
