Can we have next Shurima arc in the same way as Burning Tides?

Burning Tides was told by many perspectives.

Each character had their part. Each part was told by different eyes. It was a really satisfying way to show every character and have their moment.

As Bloodline was told by mostly Nasus and kinda Taliyah, we just saw Xerath as a complete monster... Yeah I know he is, and what ever he does will not ever redeem what he had done. But it is more than just killing for fun, or killing for revenge. His actions should have a relative complexity more than this. Xerath was never shown to be sadistic but Nasus narrates him as sadistic. Is he really? Do we know what he thinks?

Unbound was an unbelivably good story in that case. We know his feelings, thoughts, fuel to his actions, regrets... More than "lmao how they burn, funny".

I hope Riot shows Xerath in a way that he is relatable character even as a villain, even if he is going to continue his story to the end as a complete villain. (Which should have its own topic, but I'm more in side of he regrets his actions even if he is not gonna have redemption.)

I want this, but done for every region.

Probably they are gonna pull off a redemption with Xerath fighthing the Void or some shit. Which tbh I wouldn't mind.

I wouldnt mind this at all, but I would really hate it if they just made Sivir go ahead and agree to being everything Azir wants her to be. I know they want her to be the bad person who gets reeled in by having a new father figure yadda yadda. But I dont think it would be very satisfying to be honest. There are multiple other routes they can take with her that I like, but I would be pretty dissapointed if she just took the mantle of Shuriman regality.

Let's start it with brolaf being himself.

Part of me wants the Shurima event to have Sivir getting disabled for a few days and coming back ascended.

Didn’t riot argue against stories like that due to the time they had to put in? Might be confusing that with the game mode.

I'd like for another Void arc. I'm a bit confused as to what the less advanced voidborn like Cho'gath and Kog'maw are up to in Runeterra.

There already was an event like this in 2014 - not exactly Burning Tides scale but very close. I would preffer some other region to get any attention... Like Noxus, it's the biggest faction in this period of time in lore and the only thing they got was a weak ass comics (don't get me wrong, I loved it, but compare it to Burning Tides, that's lame af)... Also when Noxus gets anything, it's more like Darius getting stuff, not Noxus... If I should choose any other faction, definetely not Ionia or Zaun because they are also promoted af - and even though I dislike most of Piltover's content, they should be in second place here (just don't make it Vi/Jinx and Ezreal centrist, we are also fed up with those)... Freljord also had their event and Shadow Isles were kinda part of the Burning Tides, but getting dove deeper there would be very much acceptable. And then there's Void, is there even that much content to make here? (Intentionally ignoring Demacia.)

So, in conclusion, Shurima is one of the last regions that should be getting an event now. I would love it, Azir is my second most played champ, but doing it would be just horribly unfair.

Xerath rework anyone? :V

I just want Progress Day/Bloodlines to show up in Champion pages like Burning Tides does. They're only on the Region pages.
