I'm hoping said Demacia update will include Lux .

We have no idea. If current trends are anything to go by, then there's a good chance we could get a Demacia update, but Demacia also has the second highest amount of champions for an individual nation, meaning a few might end up being skipped over.

Say it ain't so, Sharjo

What if they skip over Quinn?

What if they skip over Sona?!

Not the Boobie Miku! Please don't skip over the Boobie Miku!

Boobie Miku's supremely better than little miss magic pants over there.

The hope is they don't skip over anyone, but there's no guarantees.

Breaking it down it looks something like this:

Only two champions from Demacia have their lore up to current standards: Poppy and Fiora. As such there are ten remaining Demacians and they all need work.

Of those ten, one is guaranteed to get his lore updated in the near future: Galio, putting the number of Demacians needing work to nine.

Of those nine, two could feasibly be sidelined because what they've got works ok in the current setting with little need for change: Quinn and Lucian, who were made in a time where the IoW was being phased out in a major way, but it wasn't on full course yet. This leaves us with seven champions:

Garen JarvanIV Lux Shyvana Sona Vayne XinZhao

That's within reason for a regional update I'd say, since if Galio is the catalyst for a Demacia update, that'd make eight if only the seven above were updated, which puts it on par with the Zaun update.

Now of course that's just one way of thinking about it, so don't lose hope! Nothing's confirmed until the day comes and we actually know who's gonna be included in a supposed Demacia update, if one even is coming with Galio or not.

...

But if they did skip over Sona I'd cry. Just putting that out there.

Honestly I think it'll be hard to predict who gets left out. I mean Singed is pretty much one of the most iconic and important Zaun champs and one that is directly connected to Warwick,so it is really surprising that he was left out. But then again maybe they left him out,because the warwick update gave him a small story as well.

Aye I getcha, I mean hell I just went with the approach of "Ok if there was a physical limit on how many champions could be worked on, which would be ok to leave out" but I know that's not gonna be how the process works.

I do think Sona is from Ionia but she lives in Demacia so i guess she's Demacian now

Sharjo1 votes

Ionian birth, adopted in to Demacian nobility as of her current lore. She's officially counted as Demacian by Universe, which I put as being pretty solid.

I would imagine these champions be the ones to be chosen for the update GarenJarvanIVLuxQuinnShyvanaSonaXinZhao And because of their work in shadow isles and noxus respectively I would imagine that LucianVayne be the ones to be sidelined. And Quinnis way to vague to be 'ok' and Vayne is just another version of Lucian with not as much to tell But as you say we'll just have to wait and see Hopefully next month

I think it might be worthy to mention that Xin Zhao was listed as a VGU candidate.

Sharjo2 votes

Yes but Rammus, Mordekaiser and Pantheon are all VGU candidates who got their lore updated as part of an event, so anything goes with Xin.

Ravenhale1 votes

I'm just thinking that they might do something like what they did with Evelynn. Give him a color story but hold back on an updated bio.

Sharjo3 votes

Evelynn's more of a special case though because RIot's never known what the hell she is. Xin Zhao on the other hand has a very clear backstory.

If Galilo is tied to Sion, then I'd say that J4 is inevitable. Garen and Luc are likely, and Vayne needs one since I think they're going to turn her into a traveler like Ryze but with hunting.

Am I the only one that could see Sona being retconned to Ionia?

VisionOfNoxus1 votes

Yeah it is possible with Jhin being the one that hates her and wants her dead. Would make sense that they make it so they're both from Ionia.

Lanceworks1 votes

I mean, her current lore already has her being born in Ionia, she was just adopted by a Demacian family.

I hope Garen gets some tweaks. He looks like a dumb Actionfigure and most of his skins have this "mainstream" "soldier-head". No real beard, no mighty helmet...

For Galio an idea:

He could be maybe an old sculpture from the Shadow Isles, brought by some demacian researchers to Demacia. He woke up to life, and now protects the palace and the innocent of Demacia.

But thats just one simple idea.

I wonder if the current updated demacian icon will be the one released for the demacian update or if we'll get one that's better If that's even possible I mean look at this I'm so getting this icon if it's released http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/04/Demacia_Crest.png/revision/latest?cb=20161117052357

Garen Vayne are prob gonna be my favorite if it does get updated. Mostly for the Garen and Katarina thing and Vayne because she's just cool.

Urgot is confirmed for the next VGU so what if, they push all the way from Demacia to Noxus in this order. Galio demacian lore update, new demacian champ, new noxian champ, Urgot and noxian lore update.

Xodiathe4bdn11 votes

That's What people think will happen like what they did with piltover and Zaun So why not demacia and noxus seeing as they are neighbors
