Can this year's "Lore Patch" be about the Mount Targon scene?

darkdill··10 votes·1,122 views

Last year we had Shurima, but this year I want to see things happening in Leona's stretch of the woods. There's not enough going on there. Heck, we don't even know if Leona's actually gone out looking for Diana or is staying at home repairing the damage!

EDIT: Downvoted why?

Mt. Targon needs a more defined identity,for sure. All we know about it is:

  • It's a mountain around the center of Valoran (don't know if it will stay this way due to a lack of an UPDATED MAP).Also,it's apparently the highest mountain in Valoran.
  • It's (assuming) main tribe are the Rakkor,a tribe of war-loving,Spartan copies.
  • Then we have a portion of the Rakkor that forms the Solari tribe,a tribe of who gave up war-loving to become sun worshipers.
  • And finally there's the Lunari tribe,that's a bunch of moon worshipers.

That's it. Not much a of a single identity that defines Mt. Targon.Yes,the 3 champs from there have a strong identity,but the region is lacking. Look at some of the other regions.Demacia's main identity is justice & honor,Noxus's main identity is survival of the fittest,Ionia's main identity is balance & so forth.Mt. Targon needs something that ties it's champs together while giving it an identity in Valoran.What that identity should be is an important question? To answer this question,we should understand the core concepts of Mt. Targon & it's champs.We wouldn't want the new identity to negatively affect or change the core aspects of Pantheon Leona Diana & Mt. Targon got no core aspects to affect.

Jarderan has stated that the old map of Valoran is no longer canon so who knows where Mount Targon is now, maybe it is actually south from Shurima as seen on the pendant. Anything is possible. Look at Bilgewater, Freljord, Shadow Isles, and Piltover, they got new looks and geographical locations and shapes. So the Visual appearance of a location will most definitely gonna be changed, that im sure of.

I dont know how much a skin preview will matter in this case, but the Dragonslayer ones showcased a village that could potentially be Mount Targon related. It has similar Greek like architecture you would find if it was somewhere in the Mountainous region.

Also them writing. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140706041048/leagueoflegends/images/f/f6/Dragonslayer_01.png

Some of your posts do actually earn downvotes, so someone probably came along and didn't bother to read what you wrote before deciding. I'll gladly upvote for Mount Targon though.

Yeah, I know. This was one of those that was innocent enough, though, so it's probably just a hater.

While I'd like a whole Mount Targon thing I feel like Targon's not the only place that needs fleshed out or just needs an event to kinda adjust things for the new Runeterra. Ionia, Bilgewater and Bandle City come to mind as primary candidates.

I would be behind you, but I don't trust Narrative. Gut feeling says some awesome champs would be utterly gutted.

I think Targon could need some more champs before it gets an event like this. I mean currently we have only 3 champs from the place and all 3 belong to different groups.

So an event would most likely introduce a new champ(most likely a member of the rakkor or the solari),but this new champ would most likely only connect to 1 or 2 other champs,which isn't really much compared to the effect that Azir(who is connected to Xerath,Sivir,Cassiopeia,Nasus&Renekton) and Lissandra(who is connected to Ashe,sejuani,Anivia,Trundle,Udyr and most likely Brand too) had on other champs.

Alistar Targon sits in the middle of the Great Barrier

Malphite I wouldn't be surprised if "Targon" means "Monolith" in Rakkori

Anivia Is Freljords elemental guardian.

Malphite can be Mount Targons elemental guardian.

that would be still only 5 champs for that one area. Compare that to Shurima or the freljord who had ~10 champions.

"these massive retcons" have already happened, they just don't have any actual fucking content out to replace the old yet it's retarded.

unless you meant riot randomly shoehorning champions into other places (like trundle suddenly being from the freljord for example) in which case NVM.

Yeah, that. My bad.

Let's be honest,there's not much to retcon from Mt. Targon anyway.So with Targon,there would be no massive retcon.

For the last 2 major faction events, the controversial retcons didn't come from the region itself but from the random champs they decided to retcon into the area to fill it out. It'd probably be worse that Mt. Targon is such a sparse region, means to make it an exciting event they'll need to retcon more champs into the area.

That is an important point.Looking at Trundle for Freljord & Skarner & Cassiopeia for Shurima as the biggest examples of this point.

Well,Riot would ideally hold off on doing a Targon event until there are some champs with Targon invovlement.

There is also the tactic Riot can take where they use non-champion characters to supplement the cast during the Targon event.Afterall,the lore doesn't have to only feature or be about the champs.That would make the world very uninteresting.I'm talking about important NPCs with an involvment in the story or have a relationship(s) with a champ(s). This way,Riot doesn't have to randomly retcon unrelated champs just to add to the cast of said event.
