Riot, dont do Bilgewater like you did Shurima.

My guess is that you are just gonna cram as many unnesesary champions into this event, completely changing their lore. We don't need to see any changes to every water-related champion. I just wanna see Gangplank and MissFortune, and possibly Nautilus . Don't get me wrong, I would love to see more story on Fizz, but if you put him into the event, he would just get most of his lore watered down like Skarner

Well, y'know, why keep any interesting details about Fizz when you can retcon him into random beach murloc encounter #125?

I hope they learned from their mistakes with the Shurima event and won't replace the lores of champs with their short versions if they aren't able to give us the full version.

Aside from that I think we'll see a few storys revolving around some champs from bg,I think Graves &TwistedFate are gonna be in the middle point,considering that there are a bunch of summoner icons about them and they even get 2 skins where they are partners(maybe they even show the 2 before tf betrayed graves?) Gangplank &MissFortune are likely to get some focus too,because they both get VUs and maybe even Tahm Kench(I doubt that his release is so close to the event by accident)

Nautilus &Fizz are the least likely to get any attention out of the BG champs,but who knows?

I dunno though who they could cram into BG,I mean the only champ who could kinda fit BG that isn't already related to that place is Nami and from the tidbits we got since she was released(like the aram-shopkeeper quote) it is safe to say that her search for the moonstone will remain.

Tahm Kench taunt offers Nami the moonstone, and offers Fizz a way back to his people.

Dude, you are trying to talk to the narrative here. The guys which have never listened to our feedback or wishes and think they can do no wrong. You are wasting words on them.

Hope is the mother of all idiots (no offense). And after hoping about a year for new lore or no more retcons, i lost any of this so called "hope".

While I can get behind champs being involved with an event,I agree that completely rewriting their lore just so they can be a part of the faction for ONE event is unnecessary.

Really its apart of one faction "forever", as the goal was consolidation and unification with known groups.

Well,as long as they don't LIMIT those champs' stories to said faction,they I guess that is also fine.Champs should be able to travel to other places across Valoran if their stories permit such a thing.While champs like MissFortune & Garen would have their stories centered around their respective factions,champs like TwistedFate & Ezreal should able to travel to other regions of the world.

Plus this consolidation should only happen to champs it would make sense for.We shouldn't pull another Trundle or Skarner & randomly place Nidalee in Demacia.Some champs should remain independent or tied to a lesser known region/factions.In the real world,there are people who live outside of the populated areas,this should be the case in Valoran too.

Skarner Malphite Taric should be a minor faction.

EDIT: to be honest Nidalee's parents were researchers from somewhere who died in the jungle, they could be Demacian, or even Piltovian.

Interesting contrast if Nidalee were to meet more of her family.

I disagree. Anyone who has ties with bilgewater, should be fully explained in this soon to be event. Why? It makes up for the lack of content we didnt see in the past months/Year(s) Fizz arrived on Bilgewater first so why not have em?

It needs Gangplank, MissFortune, Graves, and TwistedFate. All others aren't as necessary, but Nautilus and Tahm could be good.

A Miss Fortune2 votes

I want to see more of MissFortune story and how she actually became a renown Bounty Hunter and her ultimate goals for Bilgewater. I also want to know why Gangplank himself too wants to raise Bilgewater from some weak, polluted nation. It's interesting to see how they both want to make Bilgewater a strong nation. It would be nice to see something like what happened in the Harrowing, those two forcing themselves under a truce to unite and save Bilgewater from an enormous army. It would show that despite Miss Fortune and Gangplank's huge differences, that they both in the end want Bilgewater to be strong. I also liked how Nautilus made an appearence in the Harrowing to defend Bilgewater. Maybe he was defending where his old home was or something?

Seeing Graves and TwistedFate stories and how they really unfold would be nice too. There's not a whole lot. Basically they were conmen, some guy in a city far-far-away manipulated them and now they hate each other. Graves is an outlaw, Twisted Fate is some guy with magic card things. They have potential for a really interesting story.

Fizz and {{Tahm Kench Icon Here}} both are from Bilgewater, but they seem so random. I think Fizz needs a better story than. "A shark attacked a village, Fizz 1v1'ed the Shark. He's k with the Bilgewater citizens now.". I also want to see Tahm being more than just a Twisted Fate/Graves story 2.0. Where he's essentially a conman gone catfish.

But we dont even have the graves to this story. Beyond that he is a demon, and could have some relation to Shaco, or Aatrox.

That theory is based on body proportions. But it's disproven because that suit can't be skintight(I mean if you can see the Heavy's rather thick sleeve cut-off Pyro's suit should be no different), so proportions are off. And the whole pyroland thing still proves nothing. There are goggles which simulate what one sees while drunk, high, etc. You must be one of the guys who believes Rosalina Unmasked.

No I haven't, since I find most of Game Theory to be wildly uninteresting, sub-par content.

To be honest, I find it hard to believe that the Bilgewater event would crap that many champions into it since there are so few champions that actually associate with Bilgewater in some form, and less that actually reside there.

Gangplank, Miss Fortune, Fizz and maybe Nautilus are largely the only permanent residents of Bilgewater in terms of champions playable in the game right now, and two of them were fairly recent releases while the other two are getting upgrades with the Bilgewater event.

Graves is the only other champion with any association to Bilgewater, but a good part of his lore is spent outside of it.

Fizz and Nautilus are 4 and 3 years old respectively. Hard to believe, I too remember when they were first released and considered them "new champs".

MF is 5 years old while GP is 6. LoL itself is only 6 years old (GP was one of the champions available when it launched out of closed beta), so I wouldn't call things 3 and especially 4 years old as "fairly recent."

Don't be silly, is unnecesary, Bilgewater has ENOUGH champions.

Graves TwistedFate Nami MissFortune Nautilus Fizz Gangplank And Tahm Kench

EVEN if some champion is mentioned like Evelynn i doubt it will change his aliance with Shadow isles (wich is not totally confirmed...)

And still if they want they can reference the harrowin, so...
