Riot, you’ve been cock-teasing us with Void lore for about two years now.

First, you update Taric and make it so that the Void is basically his arch nemesis since it killed his friends and is basically the antithesis of everything he stands for.

Next, you have something in the Void in Aurelion Sol’s color story laughing at him.

Ryze’s rework showed us that his master used two world runes to open a Void portal in Icathia.

Then, there was that special interaction with Taliyah and Kassadin, basically saying she wants to join in the fight.

A while later, we got the Universe page that told us that Jax was Icathian.

After that, there was mention of the Great Void War during the Demacia event that came with Galio’s update.

Then we got brief mention of the Void in that journal during the Vastaya event that came with Xayah and Rakan.

A little while later, we got possible reference to the Void in Nami’s comic.

With Swain’s release, we’re reasonably certain that Kassadin’s daughter is alive.

And now THIS.

I swear, if this ends up another misunderstanding like those times people thought Shen and Aurelion Sol were getting skins, I am going to be pissed beyond all reasonable belief.

Please tell me in the comments if I’ve missed something.

Its actually a teaser for the new champ that comes from the Purple Mist, an old cousin of the Black Mist, but turns undeads into living beings instead of turning living creatures into undead ones.

"the girl who came back".

Omg give me void-infected-but-still-maintain-human-features Kassadin daughters !

That's such a good twist on lore, i really love the direction this game is taking so far. Its like Swain litteraly opened all the possible doors for the lore to get strong.

I mean, a ruined landscape and the color purple only bring void champs into my head. Purple is their color. And that landscape, while it doesn't look natural, doesn't look like something any human would ever make. I'm wondering if it's some sort of void corruption warping the landscape. Remember that Swain referred to it as some sort of network that's learning to be alive, maybe Void creatures bring new worlds into their network when they take over.

Even if this isn't a Void character, I'm 99% sure we'll see one this year. The last time we got a Void champion was Rek'Sai... who was right after our last new Shadow Isles champ as well if you don't include the Yorick update. That was years ago at this point, and with the Void being one of the few regions not to receive a lore update I think the time is nigh, especially since they've been getting teased heavily for a long time now.

I'm hyped as fuck for this champion as well. Going deep into enemy territory? Is this gonna be a Kindred passive situation where camps are marked? A Bard situation where little bits of power you can receive will pop in the jungle? Something else entirely? What else could they possibly throw in the jungle without it being a shitshow like Skarner spires?

ADC is my least played role but I love both Xayah and Jhin, and Kindred is my favorite champion of all time allowing me to play an ADC-like character who is also in my favorite role, the jungle, and has a game warping ultimate and incredible power fantasy if you get all of your marks. Here's hoping the next ADC is awesome.

A purple hell opening up. Yeah rest assure dude, it's the void.

You sure its not a teaser for a new skin? Earth cracking up and filled with void glow. Earth twisting and spiralling.

Seem more like a Void Taliya skin teaser to me.

That Nami comic wasn't a "possible" reference. Holy hell dude, I'd hate to see what hard facts you need for what you consider an "actual" reference. I mean come on, the Marai dude was in a hell hole glowing purple, and he was withered and had 3 glowing purple eyes in his head, just like Malzahar. If that's just a "possible" reference to you, then wow.
