Revisit the Ionian-Noxian War
One of the hallmark stories of League of Legends was the war between Noxus and Ionia. The implications of the battles won reverberated throughout the lore, and so many characters have their background in the war. The thing is, things have changed. There is no Institute of War anymore. Battles may still be fought on the Rift, but their importance is unclear, and their effect on the lore seems to lack any connection. There are so many story lines to weave together. From Lee Sin, Master Yi, Karma, and Irelia rising to become great warriors and leaders, to the impact of the celestial forces made by Bard and Soraka, the rise of the Kinkou Order with Kennen, Shen, and Akali, the fall of the order at the hands of Zed, the corruption of Varus, the ascendance of Syndra, the training of Wukong in the ways of Wuju, the subduing of Udyr's primal rage, and the dishonoring of Yasuo. Even the effects on the Noxians are palpable: Riven revoking her allegiance to Noxus in hopes of finding a way to bring Noxus back into power, Swain's grand schemes that led to the start of the war, with his lapdog Darius, and Singed's villainy being realized in his ruthless use of chemical warfare. The story has such a large and profound impact on Runeterra, and now that much of what was carried out within the war no longer has that glue that was the Institute of War, we are left with a smattering of stories with no real cohesive means to an ending. Thus, I ask for a revisiting of the main story of the war. Maybe it continues to this day, maybe it ends at some point. The potential for this being the next long-term story arc, like Burning Tides + 2015 Harrowing, goes on and on. A whole years worth of story could be told about this war, maybe even more. Either way, I would be personally excited about a new story, and new twists on the Ionian-Noxian War.
lore expanded for the longest time now. There are so many questions in his lore left unanswered.
What exactly was the Runestone that made him?
Is he still from the Plegas Jungles and if he is, how did he manage to reach an Island on the other end of the continent without meeting ONE human?
If there is no League of legends, how does Master Yi convince Wukong to learn Wuju in the first place?
Wouldn't he just constantly be wondering around for stronger opponents, technically making him independent rather than aligned with Ionia?
Why is he friends with Ahri?
Does he have any kind of interaction with/ knowledge of the other Ionian champs?
Are they even aware of his existence?
who are these talking monkeys that created him from the Runestone?
, forever training in Wuju and never having any significant impact to the lore. Always being overshadowed By Yi and Wukong's Journey to the West counterpart.
This would be a great chance to make Wukong into his own character within the lore.
actually participated in that war,I mean he is like the combination of noxus and zaun,so he is pretty much the ultimate enemy for the ionians and I think he would fit nicely as a long range artillery cannon bombing ionians to death with his chemical weapons.
is my favorite so giving you all my upvotes
