What Champs do you want to hear more about?
Hi guys,
I wanted to jump in and ask which Champions (or regions, events, storylines, etc related to their backgrounds) you reaaaaally want to see / learn more about.
As Jaredan and others have mentioned in other threads, in addition to ongoing new Champ / ChamUp support we're currently focused on developing things like world building, longer storylines, R+D, etc. Nevertheless, going back and developing the stories and backgrounds of the characters we all love – and fixing things that are just broken from a narrative point of view – is really important to us. The stories for many champs need some love, and we want you guys to have a voice in helping us determine where we need to focus our attention.
A couple caveats to set expectations:
-
This isn't a promise to drop everything and focus on fleshing out your favorite champ's background (at least not yet) straight away. Having said that, if there are some clear favorites among players around the world, then we’d like that to factor into our decision-making process.
-
Please don’t offer up specific story ideas – legally, we just can’t use them (the same reason I don’t read fan-fic – it’s a can of worms from a legal POV).
-
Also, I can't promise exactly when or how we’ll be able to deliver on this stuff. Despite the best intentions, we've burned ourselves before by making overzealous promises, so we’d rather not go down that route.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Cheers!
even? What's the deal?
These two? What's going on in the void? Are these guys constantly at war? Does Malzahar want to try to get 
as an ally? Is that a thing he can do? What about Kassadin? Is he looking for allies in the major city-states? What is his relationship with them like? What of these "inhibitors" that 
once spoke of?
How is she doing on her quest? Has she met any other champions yet? Did she already know any of them? Does she go around healing those that she can while in search for the stone?
What is she scheming? What happened to the last LeBlanc? Is she currently working with 
on anything? Working against him?
Where does she sit? Is she seeking out powerful allies? Powerful rivals with which to test her power? Complete solitude? Is she trying to crush towns?
How's the doc doing? Does TF need a full reboot on lore? What's going on with 
? Does he spend all of his time looking for TF? Do they have playful banter when they meet? Does he even really want to kill TF, anymore? Does he just chase him out of principle?
Is Fiora looking for people to duel? How will she get her family's honor back? Does she have a plan? Does she simply want to take on other swordsmen?
I'm guessing this will have to wait for his long-off Update, but what's Taric's deal? Still from another world? Still a protector of the weak? Is he friends with 
and 
? Are they foes?
Does Sona do anything? Does she float along the countryside healing the sick with her music? Defending the weak? Does she just sit in Demacia and write music all day? How does she interact with others? She can't speak to them, she must do something.
Is he just a big old boogey man? can he have growth as a character? or is he just spooky tales? Does he still search for the douchebags that left him? How can he find them?
These guys need some love badly. What are they without the IoW?
and 
(We need to dive deeper into that part of the world! Also so many loose ends - like, no ends at all)
and the Nerf-Bat
can be associated with it too, now, since he's a minotaur? :3
and 
? What is the Harrowing? How did 
end up there?
up to?
The Ruined King.
or 
, tell me he isn't being written as a Satudray-morning cartoon villain. I want my possibly insane, genuinely interested in improving humanity, transhuman scientist who has become so disconnected from humanity he has difficulty understanding what would be in mankind's best interest.

is a being of the stars. But now she kinda isn't any more, but she doesn't care. Is her only task now to heal wounded people? Is she allied to Ionia or is this just her residence, where she shares her Enlightment in the Placidium?
: What is Yi up to? His storyline seems kinda finished. Does he just want to train students in the art of Wuju? Will he fight alongside Irelia for Ionia? Even if he doesn't search for vengeance any more? Does he feel with Varus who has a similiar story or does he judge him?
: What happened to Irelia's Brother? Is she grateful because Soraka brought her back to life? Did her father really died of a strange, mysterious, neverseen illness? (sounds like an idea of old riot, new riot would take the chance and make it a political murder or something)
has a very underwhelming lore regarding the fact that she is the Duchess of Ionia, her title being "the Enlightend one" (seemingly the best thing you can be called in Ionia since everyone is searching for enlightment ), that she is the leader and figurhead of the rebellion, that she can summon the symbol of Ionia (the twin dragons) and that she is also kind of the supreme elder. In her lore she kinda just protects a small village by killing one single person (her old lore was more impressive, how she stopped the noxian soldiers with the power of words and her charisma). Was she a regular young girl, with strong bindings towards the spirit world, before Noxus attacked? How did she get to be the Duchess of Ionia? By summoning the twin dragons? Why are the twin dragons the symbol of Ionia? Did they had an important role in the past and then vanished into the ghost/spirit world? Did the people of Ionia knew that they existed or was it kind of a fairytale?
: Even if portayed as bad, Varus kinda is good. He has such a big potential. Does he support the elders and will fight along Irelia and the other fighters of Ionia or does he have not enough time for burocracy and strategical thinking? Makes sense to me that he is allied with Yasuo . Apparently, Riven is also Varus' rival and him and Yasuo both want to kill the one that is responsible for killing the ones they wanted to protect.
What happened to the Pit of Pallas? This storyline also kinda is underwhelming. The elders feared that the corruption of the pit could swallow the whole island. So... Varus was kinda the only one guarding the pit? What happened when he had to sleep? Did he ever leave the temple or was that forbidden? When he needed power for revenge, the pit consumed him, and now he is super strong? Was his former power not enough, already being one of Ionias best warriors (why did peaceful Ionia even had warriors back then)? And then the pit gave him power in exchange for lifetime? Now the pit, one of the biggest threats doesn't have a guardian anymore? In my opinion Varus' story has to be changed, or the Pit has to get more important, because right now it seems like the Pit of Pallas is just there for the sake of the story of everyones favourite homoerotic, and doesn't get any attention from the other Ionians even though it is a huge threat.
. She came out at least over a year ago, and while she's had skins and other things released for her, her lore is probably the weakest I've seen. Hell even Evelynn is tied to the shadow isles in some way as well to a few other champions, which is something. Zyra comes from some place called the Zumungu Jungle(which I only know cause I went to look it up before posting about it). Like, what's the Zumungu Jungle? Is it still relevant, since in the lore it says that everything in it was dying? Do other champs have come/gone to there? And then there's the lore itself. A flower that was dying and took over some random sorceress that happened to be walking by, then goes out to explore. That's it. There's no reason for her given to join the league, no connection to any other champ(which, I think, but not entirely sure of, but think that most other champions at least have connection to AT LEAST One other champion(Save maybe Rammus, which, given I haven't seen too many others post about him, is probably someone who needs their lore expanded on). I understand you guys are looking to promote the popular champions, but in all honesty, if a champion is unpopular for some reason then perhaps they're the ones that need the most help so that they can be loved like the rest. Even Evelynn, who's lore is pretty week, is loved because it's still interesting enough for people to want to get behind. I've yet to see anyone say the same for Zyra, and that's a problem that I feel should be adressed.
– His original goal was to end the world in fire how do you think an entity like that will act without the confines of the league to stop him.
, 
, 
and 
– Each of these champions on their own is more than capable of being able to cause mass destruction with few problems. Without the league to occupy their time these void born terrors would be destroying things left and right.
