Runeterra keeps getting smaller.
I feel like all the champ lore from new champ to rework seems to exist to tie them to other characters and the few established regions/factions in the lore. It seems like they are content making Runeterra smaller for the sake of clarity. This is clear in that even a oddball champ like Ivern is connected to the Freljord.
Even with the release of Xayah and Rakan, it seemed to be a new race named the Vastaya, however it was not a case of addition but rather a subtraction. Strange beings such as Ahri and Rengar were now given the context of belonging to the same race instead of being some unique or rare race.
I don't think this is entirely bad, connections are important. but can we have some champions/updates that indroduce NEW races and even regions? Champions with martial professions never heard of, stories that don't tie to anybody currently? There are such more subtle connections we can make between characters. Perhaps the next champion is spoken of in voice lines, they could be a myth. The point is: a large world filled with mystery. High fantasy!
Anyway, just my two cents. Thanks for reading! [vlad-salute]
