New Universe Topics - Noxus, Freljord, Bandle City, and any new Champs or Relaunched Champs

So as we all know, RITO is doing an overhaul to League lore with Universe. That said, I can't help but feel the new delicious lore isn't being made fast enough. We've gotten a lot of interesting stories to listen too, and many champs have been remade to be much more interesting,Poppy Warwick Galio , but there are still topics that haven't been discussed yet. I want to start this discussion to see what you guys think of these topics and how they will be changed OR how they can be changed.

Noxus - The sworn enemy of Demacia, and faction of memorable warriors, such as Darius Katarina Kled , and our upcoming relaunch Urgot . But with the relaunch we havent really got a concrete idea of what Noxus is TRULY like. We still get the idea that it's a country that focuses on conquest, that it's everyone for themselves there, and the only the strongest should rule is their ideal. When compared to Demacia, however, that's all they got. Demacia was made to be smaller, more "elite", prejudice towards magic, and even possessing weaponry that is deadly to magic. Now what else can we say about Noxus that can make them see more real at the moment? Also, concerning UrgotUrgot do you think he will remain in Noxus, or will he become a full Zaunite? What new Noxus Champions do you think can be added to the mythos?

Freljord - The Freljord, the frozen wastelands where survival is even harder than in Noxus. Years ago, the war between the three sisters was underway, but now we aren't entirely sure of what's going on. We need a status update of what's going on up there. Also I feel we are in desperate need for a new Freljord champ. Personally I think the new champ should be of the Frostguard, because at the moment it's just poor LissandraLissandra and TrundleTrundle all by themselves. I actually have a concept in mind of a sort of Ice Giant Tank champion. He comes across as covered in Black Ice, wielding a large True Ice Sword, braving a snowstorm like it's nothing. I don't have any gameplay in mind right now, but I find the champ idea to be pretty cool. I think League could use some Frost Giants, maybe even connect the creatures in some way to the watchers. Profess any idea if you got any. Also, I don't think this is news, but NunuNunu definitely needs an update.

Bandle City - Finally the hometown of our fuzzy little buddies, Bandle City. With the lore relaunch Yordles have become more fae like and mysterious. As interesting as that is, when reading stories about them, like hearing how Tristana is apparently an old woman, that makes it confusing. I want us to get a lore about WHAT Bandle City really is now. If you got any ideas, then please speak.

Kumungu Jungle - The Kumungu Jungle has potential, being Zyra'sZyra birthplace and the origin of Nidalee'sNidalee abilities. Considering the introduction of the Vastaya, I feel there is new possibilities for new champs and lore. Please share your opinions on this idea.

The Glade - This magical place hasn't been mentioned since LuluLulu and that just won't do. We need an update to LuluLulu because of the lore update, an update to the Glade in the story, and a new champ from the Glade. I actually have an idea for a Mid Lane Mage from the Glade. He would be a young boy who was born in the time of the Rune wars. He would eventually find his way into the Glade, where he would many years learning vast knowledge and magic. He would leave the Glade, a man in his mid forties maybe, and arrive to a world where Magic and people have become disconnected. He makes it his life mission to restore the balance between the two.

The Void - Essentially the Great Antagonist force of League of Legends. I feel an update would be needed for this lore as well. At the very least a new Void champ perhaps aligned with Kassadin would be cool.

Please post all your opinions as soon as you can, let the stories and ideas fly!

For Noxus in my oppinion it is the region with the greatest potential. I mean Demacia was next to nothing before it's update, but riot really naild it anyway :D Noxus just have so many oppertunitys to make it so awesome.

I agree that they should give a champion to the Frostguard. A icegiant sounds awesome (not only because I love tanks top xD) and if it is conected to the watchers it could have like one big frozen eye, like a cyclops. Or another troll champ.

Keep in mind that for the most part the lore updates are coming in bundles, rather than one large update to the entire line or single updates to individual characters. The Vastaya were updated all at once, Demacia had several champions update, Bilgewater had an entire event and a half dedicated to its lore, etc etc. Noxus is likely the next one, so we'll get to see some real concrete stuff on what's going on in their borders.

Tristana isn't an old woman, unless she wants them to know that she is a yordle people will mistake for and old woman due to her "yordle disguise magic". Poppy is seen as a tall monster hunter by her fellow Demacians, she even ended up chasing her own legends because she thought they were talking about someone else. I think, not 100% on this one, Kled appears as an old man to his fellow Noxians. Our best bet of learning more about the Void before it's update, (which pretty everyone assumes is going to be last), would be through Targon and Shurima, of all the regions they have had the most interactions with the Void. Currently the roster of champions that are aware that the void is coming/ or that it even exists are: AurelionSol Pantheon Taric Leona Diana Kassadin Jax Rengar Nasus and Fiora if Jax recriuts her. On the side of the Void we have Malzahar Chogath RekSai Velkoz KogMaw and Khazix.

We'll likely get more news on Noxus when Urgot's VGU comes out if he stays to Noxus and not Zaun. Otherwise, sure, we could probably use some news on Noxus. Bandle City is a whole nother thing though. It's basically now this mysterious city in the forest where yordles live, which are now like immortal spirits of nature that take a liking to certain ideologies for each of them. I doubt we will learn much about it for a little while at least, especially since, to be honest, there aren't many yordle champions that need a big rework. Unless the next champion or champion after Urgot's VGU is a yordle from there, I don't think we will get much news on Bandle City.

I doubt the Glade is going to stick around once Lulu is updated. Reason? All Yordles are Fae now.

Lulu's lore is from a time when Bandle City was a literal city, with a fixed location (and for some reason a spaceship). But now Bandle City is a magical realm with no definite location where the laws of physics are optional. In short, it is everything the Glade is supposed to be. (There's a description of Bandle City on Universe btw, even though there are no canon stories set there yet).

There is actually nothing special about Lulu anymore. She seems to be the closest champion there is to a "normal" Yordle, but I expect this to change once her lore is updated. There needs to be something about Lulu that makes her worthy of being a champion, but visiting the Glade no longer makes sense as that reason.

As for Pix, maybe Bandle City is full of faeries? It wouldn't be too out of place.

And I'm still hoping that all of this Vastaya stuff isn't in place of a real Ionia update. The Kinkou are really sad right now. We haven't gotten an Ionia icon yet, though, so hopefully there is still an Ionia event in the future.

I don't like Katarina or Urgot. I'm hoping for Swain, Darius, and LeBlanc to all get lore in the Noxus event.

I still think Trundle's lore was better before he was a Freljordian. But that relied on the Institute of War too much, I guess.

I'm not sure where the yordle lore is going to go, what with them being spirits now instead of furry creatures. We'll have to wait on the Bandle City event, and when we get it, I hope Veigar's one of the focuses.

I doubt the Kumungu Jungle is very interesting. Wukong used to be from there but isn't now, so Riot's moving away from the direction of making the Kumungu Jungle a "faction". It's just a place that some annoying people can have ties to.

The Glade is in a similar spot, except that even fewer people are connected to it at all. And why should they be? I thought that the writers actually could have used Lulu's Glade in that Ahri story with the creepy witch, but instead Ahri went to a different glade. Or maybe that creepy witch was Lulu and Ahri just didn't recognize her.

If we get more Void lore, I want more Icathia lore also.

Freljord already got its story event in 2013 and it was the first state to get an event. It might get more updates later but the priority goes to Noxus, Ionia, Bandle City and Void which didn't get an event at all
