Will there ever be a big Void event?

Zeanix··69 votes·2,805 views

The Void is probably still one of the biggest mysteries out there in League lore. Hell, we haven't got a new void champ in 3 years with Rek'Sai being released. It would be amazing if there was a big event and a PvE game mode where you have to fight void hordes. I hope new void content will be released soon and I hope it's something big.

I think I have the right

Vel'Koz brings the Void back into mainstream. Vel'Koz is life. Vel'Koz is disintegration. Tentacles out for Vel'koz.

BREAKING NEWS! NEW LEAKED INFORMATION!

Vel Koz is the Swain of the Void.

They will likely do a lore update just like they gave us other faction updates in the last year(so it will likely not be a full event like Bilgewater,but just a bunch of lore updates with a story).

And so far it looks like Riot updates the lores of a faction whenever a champ of said faction gets an update( Galio Yorick Warwick ) or sometimes when we get a new champ of said faction( Taliyah and Camille ) (and in the case of Targon,we got both with AurelionSol &Taric)

But from what we know,none of the void champs are currently high on the update list(Urgot and Eve will be next and there wasn't a single void champ among the Tier1-candidates),so our only hope for getting a void update this year would be if they released a void champion

EDIT:I forgot cho'gath,but I think he is such a large scope project that we won't see him anytime soon

i think they could do something with varus. if i remember correctly, they didnt say exactly what the "power" he was guarding was. and the void has been known to corrupt people before (Malzahar ) so im thinking that varus was really guarding a gate of some sort to the void. that may have oppened accidentaly or just randomly, and must be guarded lest people get ahold of the voids immense magical energy

I actually like this. Currently, Void creatures are very often connected to Shurima in design simultaneously because the connection is near it (that is, as far as I understand it, though only Rek'Sai has it more explicit). Making more gates (while trying not to overdo it) would bring interesting opportunities such as Frostvoid creature or Spiritvoid creatures.

isn't icathia somewhere in shurima too? i remember that name from kog's lore if i'm not mistaken. i think that place has something to do with both kog and malz.

Lintu Puck1 votes

yup, Icathia (at least originally, not sure about in current lore) was within the Shuriman region.

GreenLore1 votes

Well there are voidgates on Targon too,so I think it would make sense for us to get a targonian void creature.

TigerMama Gemgem1 votes

Varus' old lore seemed to suggest it was power that was more related to the Darkin than Void, but either way a good idea.

Toa of Death1 votes

I believe it'll come alongside a Cho'Gath VGU. He seems like the perfect candidate to do a Void event/lore update around.

ModKnightsKemplar1 votes

He'll be a bit, I reckon. I don't think he's on the tier 1 list, and he recently got worked on, too.

Nvm he totally is. Maybe so.

GreenLore1 votes

Yeah forgot about him. However he will likely be the biggest VGU of them all,because he has lots of skins(inclduing 2 legendary ones) and they said that he'll likely get an evolving model with his VGU. So I doubt that cho'gath will get his VGU before 2019

I do hope that a void champ will be released at sometime this year or next. It would also be nice timing to update some of the models of the void champs at the moment. Some, like Cho'gath do require a visual/gameplay update while others like Kha, Kog and Mal are probably fine.

From the lore release/update standpoint, it feels like they are hinting at the void all over the place, most notably with Targon. I think they are saving the Void for last, so we still have quite a few regions to go through before we get there - Noxus, Ionia, Bandle city/yordles, maybe a return to the Frelijord and the frozen watchers, Ithica (might be rolled into the void update since its related)

From a gamemode point, it is possible that we get a void-related gamemode if things work out. I'm imagining black market brawlers returned, but void themed (summon void minions, new void items, etc) It's unlikely, but riot has been known to get various teams working on the same theme and getting things turned out at the same time.

A final event that is the Void, The portal opens world wide, Each and every faction fight for survival and unleash their hidden potential and in the end, The only survivor remaining is Aurelion Sol until Teemo comes out of his stealth and throws a mushroom at his face exploding for 9000 damage.

Inevitably, given the reason you've presented in your first sentence. As for how big remains to be seen, though I suspect it won't be nearly so large that Riot would create a new gamemode for it.

My prediction is, taking into account Riot's typical modus operandi, the event will come with a new champion, some skins, and possibly a unique login distinct from any champion. Updated lores where appropriate, to a point; Riot doesn't like doing too many stories at a single time.

I sincerely doubt the event would actually explore The Void proper, since it is a very inaccessible location to pretty much everyone from Runeterra, and even the Voidborn do not seem capable of returning to it once they have left.

Keep your non-euclidean appendages crossed.

I kinda do like the fact that it's an unanswered place and not much information is given to it. But Riot kinda had something big prepared for it when Malzahar and Kog'Maw came. It died down when they did a complete overhaul with lore. As for an event, I would like so when they explore the void, it would create more questions as well as answering some big ones.

Karakot3 votes

I think they leave it like this on purpose. It allows our minds to create images of the creatures in the void that intrigue us because we truly don't know much about it/

Malzahar summons the Voidborn and Viktor gives them an upgrade

The Void is probably my most anticipated lore update. I main Cho'Gath and I think his VGU will be shipped alongside a Void event.

They did hint at a "Great Void War" with the new Vastaya stuff. Since the Vastaya stuff will only update a handful of Ionian champs, making it not a full update, I would expect the next true update will be Noxus (cause Demacia and everything). After that, I don't see them investing in Ionia again this year, so I'd think it would ether be Bandle City or the Void. They could go the Darkin route as another Vastaya like update (considering there are so few of them) but in the end I think the Void is very likely to show up before the year is out.

ModKnightsKemplar1 votes

I'm sure there will be eventually.

Randomonium1 votes

I have a something that they'll be building up to for a while. My guess is Noxus, Ionia and Bandle City lore is going to come first. I agree though, the Void needs to be a massive event with a PvE game mode.

Jax is the last Icathian and is essentially looking for someone worthy to help him cleanse it, aka the void if you read into his updated lore a bit. So I guess technically he's lumped in with those characters too.

On another note, a pve mode would be amazing.
