So... Who is holding back the imprisoned champions?

So as we all know, Summoners and the Institute of War no longer exist, however there are some champions being imprisoned in there by summoners, which begs the question. Who is holding them all back from doing whatever they want to do?

Said Champions are:

These champions were held back from causing mayhem because the Summoners interfered, but now that they don't exist, what or who is preventing them now? I think with the Ascension update they fixed Renekton (don't quote me on that) but that still leaves 5 other evils mucking about. Any guesses?

Technically, Brand is dead...Killed by the Demacian forces.

No one is quite sure how Brand found his way to Valoran, but he began his predations at once. Overcome by Demacian forces, he was given a choice: fight within the confines of the League or die. Naturally, he chose to use his destructive powers in the League, for now...

Because without the league:

The cool thing about the game and the lore being separate is that certain characters can actually be dead canonically because you are really only playing as the Legend of that character, not as them specifically.

I like to think of the game as you playing the character in their most quintessential moment in their life, not living out some story line or whatever.

The league isn't for legends, it's for making legends.

Narrative bullshit is how Runeterra still exists.

There's no other explanation besides everyone has plot armor and the world itself is plot armored so badly not even Mecha Malphite can drill through it.

The hell are you talking about?

Mecha Malphite? Well then, let's go get Super Galaxy Rumble. His drill is the drill that pierces the plot armor!

I believe a Red post a while back said that they're uncaged now, just sort of rampaging about the world.

They aren't hold back,but obviously they can't rampage around without getting killed by the other champs.

Fiddlesticks wasn't really imprisoned was he? I mean, all he did was stand in the East Wing of the IoW waiting for something to come.

Sneak DogDec 20, 20141 votes

Kassadin is holding back Cho/Kog. Fiddlesticks is only the harbinger of doom, not doom itself. Nocturne is happily living in dreamland.

Duke AnaxDec 23, 20141 votes

Part of the reaso, they changed the lore this way, was so that they don't have to imprison those characters anymore.

They can have them defeated in the lore, but still appear in the game.

BLU MedicDec 27, 20141 votes

Well, Malzahar would be looking after Kog'Maw. Nocturne would probably never have gotten caught inside a nexus and would have continued roaming the edge of people's minds, perhaps in a far-away village or at a temple or something. Fiddlesticks could remain in his tower, it's just the location of the tower would change (perhaps part of Noxus's capital or something?). Brand and Cho'Gath though, I'm not sure. Having Brand killed by the Demacians simply doesn't work and turning Cho'Gath into nothing more than a hungry animal (like Kha, Kog and Rek) would be absolutely awful.

GreenLoreDec 27, 20141 votes

I'd say Brand most likely never got caught,but is now smart enough to not just start incinerating every village he comes across,but knows that it is better for him to remain under the radar.

Cho'gath needs a complete lore rework,so he could be anything,but I would really like it if they kept him more intelligent,which could mean that he'll join up with Malzahar to demonstrate the power of the void.

BLU MedicDec 27, 20141 votes

You could have most of the formerly captured champions remaining under the radar.

If they make Cho'Gath anything like Rek'Sai, I will throw on my Cho'Gath costume, head to Riot's HQ and eat the lot of them.

Isn't Fiddle's entire story that he was called accidentally into the IoW by a Summoner trying to call an extraplanar creature? Since summoners and the IoW no longer exist, one could debate that Fiddlesticks was never made/called at all. In his new lore they'll probably just make him from the Shadow Isles or some crap, and say he's a scarecrow from a spooky island there that guards haunted corn.

Well, if they were to reboot Fiddle's lore, I'd think that if they were to replace his location it wouldn't be the Shadow Isles, that's a place of the undead, not a magical scarecrow. So where would he be relocated? Well let's look at the map of Valoran shall we?

If I were to take a guess, I'd pick the Voodoo Lands for the ideal relocation, as it makes more sense and it would give that area another champion besides Annie

WaffinsDec 31, 20141 votes

welp there goes three of his quotes. All referring to the summoner/4th wall breakage that wouldn't make sense without a entity such as summoners.

AbrakaDoodleDec 27, 20141 votes

I'f the summoner don't rxist then why are people fighting on the fields of justice? Idk about the new lore, will someone please explain something to me?
