Lore For Ignored Champions

MasterDClone·7/5/2018, 5:44:44 AM·2 votes·4,303 views

I just want if and when these champions below will get a lore update to involve them more into the current runeterra lore. I saw a few months ago that there was a google doc with a bunch of lore updates planned and i have seen of few of them live such as and but was really wondering when the next ones would be hit if hit at all.

: I feel like this champion could have some of the most interesting lore changes because he is a shadow and you could turn him into a demon that craves a different emotion similar to Evelyn and lust.

: This champion need some kind of lore change to explain why he is how he is. I would love to see this champion incorporated into one of the factions if possible.

: I main this champion and am sad to see that he has such a bland lore, and would love to see his lore update expanded upon so that he has more depth as a champion because the current one feels like a place holder for something bigger. What i would like to see from him are some interactions with other champions and maybe a reveal on who the person behind the mask is.

: This champion desperately needs an update both visually and thematically(i wouldn't be against a GU either). His lore doesn't make a lot of sense with the current story lines, no cohesion what so ever and for such a unique champion to go to waste would be a shame, i am sure that we could shape him into icathian lore and as maybe a barrier against the void?.

Along with some of these Sona is also shockingly ignored when it comes to lore. Especially considering how many potential connections she has to champions both in Demacia and Ionia

Singed Twitch These were left out in the Zaun lore update, so we really could use some new information. Especially since we know now that Twitch' goal is to kill all humans with poison.

About the champions you mentioned: Nocturne Shaco Fiddlesticks these are all tier 1 for a VGU, their lore is just a placeholder for the time being and I highly doubt that they will expand on it before they got their VGU, since it kinda would be wasted effort. They would have to retcon the lore probably again.

Necrit had a cool theory where he connected Shaco to being the Ruined Kings' sons' possessed mannequin but I can't find it anymore

I think the reason why those 4 are ignored is because they are all pretty high on the VGU list(granted Malphite wasn't part of the Tier 1 candidates,but I wouldn't be surprised if he makes the jump to Tier 1 eventually).

So Riot is likely keeping a low profile for these champs,so that they have more freedom when making a VGU for them.

EDIT: Also Evelynn doesn't feed on lust,she feeds on pain.She just needs to get "touched with desire" before she can actually hurt someone,so she needs to evoke lust in others.

Talks about not ignoring champions and.... ignores Zyra

Which had nothing more than her release outdated story since 2012 until now, she is one of the most ignored characters in term of lore, Riot don't even know where she's from except to be in a jungle... Duhh

It's the complete void since her "updated" bio months ago, she had no story, she was...Just there..

We don't talk about her much but even with a new skin and decent splashs, she's just out of place thematically alon with Nidalee , both come from the same place, the Kumungu Jungles, which is not even canon anymore but damn... Do something Riot !

Ignored? What do you mean by that? Nocturne was the main enemy of Lux in her new lore, Fiddlesticks got a Short Story about him and Shaco... well, he got a lore update that mentions his origin.

The only one of that list without actual lore at all, is Malphite.

The edgelord in me wants Nocturne to become the prime source of the Order of the Shadow's power.

I feel like this champion could have some of the most interesting lore changes because he is a shadow and you could turn him into a demon that craves a different emotion similar to Evelyn and lust.

Maybe have him feed off of fear?

We have Evelynn with lust and Tahm Kench with gluttony, so fear sounds fine to me.

I know it sounds cliché, but it works with the character and his voicelines.

This champion need some kind of lore change to explain why he is how he is. I would love to see this champion incorporated into one of the factions if possible.

If I have to guess, I'm pretty sure the Shadow Isles were involved in some way in his resurrection. Maybe the crows who came to his corpse were corrupted by the Black Mist?

If I have to guess which region he's from, probably Demacia. They're known to have a lot of peasants and farms here and there and have a strong sense of justice and that would explain why he was forced to starve in his own fields.

I main this champion and am sad to see that he has such a bland lore, and would love to see his lore update expanded upon so that he has more depth as a champion because the current one feels like a place holder for something bigger. What i would like to see from him are some interactions with other champions and maybe a reveal on who the person behind the mask is.

He actually got his lore updated recently.

As far as I know, he isn't a person anymore. He was apparently a marionette for a prince, but has since been "corrupted by dark magic" and gone insane from lack of his charge.

This champion desperately needs an update both visually and thematically(i wouldn't be against a GU either). His lore doesn't make a lot of sense with the current story lines, no cohesion what so ever and for such a unique champion to go to waste would be a shame, i am sure that we could shape him into icathian lore and as maybe a barrier against the void?.

Malphite being created by the Icathians sounds interesting to me.

I'd be for it if his new lore becomes that.
