It has been a long time since there were no new Demacian and Noxian champions.

was the last Noxian champion, and that was more than 3 years ago. does not count since he is not a new champion, he is a remake from an old champion.

The last Demacian champion released was but he doesn't feel like a Demacian champion. He is only really related to Demacia due to the fact that rioters said he was born there. He doesn't even have quotes associated to Demacia. Also, he was released 2 years ago.

Although Riot doesn't release new Demacian and Noxian champions (I want to know why) they have been reworking lots of old Demacian and Noxian champions, we saw that recently with Fiora, Garen, and Darius. And Sion last year.

Sion is basically a new champion. He got his own login screen.

Yeah, we've definitely had a bit of a drought on Noxus and Demacia. I don't think it was intentional to avoid them, but more of us trying to fill in gaps (they're still pretty well-represented overall), which led us to other areas of the world.

That said, I personally think we're long overdue, and I've been beating that drum around the champ pit a lot as we've been kicking off our next batch. There's a lot of excitement to do characters that will add some depth to both Demacia and Noxus, but it's a matter of finding the right place. I really hope we get a new one from each of those factions before the end of ~~the~~ next year, and I'm pushing for it where I can!

EDIT: end of next year, not this one (sadly). Thanks Ralanr!

Not to insult your work ethic, but I really doubt that a new champion from Demacia and a new champion from Noxus can be released or announced before the end of the year. If that does happen, then that's amazing as holy hell.

[slayer-pantheon-thumbs] I look forward to the expansion either way!

Haha, I meant end of next year. I'll edit that - thanks for catching!

That's a kick to the balls.

Maybe the new champ can be part of a love/hate triangle with Katarina and Garen

RalanrNov 15, 20154 votes

Maybe their parents?

Actually I would love to have at least Katarina's side of the relationship delved into more.

OH, i would love to see a champion who is the parent of another

In brink of hope, I'm still waiting for a Frozen Watcher. New item called as Eye of the Watchers makes me more excited because it means you guys didn't forget them, or did you?

Rather than just a champ from either faction,I would prefer to get more lore in general on them,especially in Post-Retcon Runeterra.Most of the lore for both factions is from the IOW days,so it's hard to tell what survived the retcon (beside the obvious stuff of course).

Can we get a big Noxus patch please like how we had a big bilgewater patch? new skins (maybe reworks please :D) for Talon Katarina Vladimir Swain

and a nice big juicy lore update on par with fortune and shadows?

WTF happened to Kat's dad? expand more or Talon and Katarina's relationship (is Kat protective of him or is it the other way around?) What about Swain? how is he going to bring those blasted Demacian buffoons to their knees? can we get a Lore update for Vlad? What about the Fleshing? What about Morgana? Maybe add some Noxian flavor text to Items like item 3123 and item 3075 ?

RIOT PLS

DEMACIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I think they're just trying to flesh out other parts of the world. Noxus and Demacia are probably (aside from Bilgewater post-Burning Tides/Shadow and Fortune) the most "steady" parts of the world, they have a pretty obvious theme and lots of champs within that theme.

About 1/4th of the map (Although that map is no longer canon, IIRC) is unused. No Tempest Flats, barely any Voodoo Lands (Annie kinda, but she doesn't represent the area much), no Howling Marsh since the first Karthus retcon. They've got a lot of space to do stuff in if they want.

Well its not like they are the only city states that didn't get a new champ for quite a while. I mean Piltovers last champ is who was released even before quinn and lucian Targons last champion is Diana ,who was released before VI(not that targon has many champions to begin with) Bandle Citys last champion is Lulu,who isn't even a 6300-champ anymore And well the last real bilgewater champ was Nautilus who was released even before lulu,but this is going to change with Illaoi.(tahm kench is related to bilgewater,but isn't really tied to a single city state)
