This is not a complain post. I am not complaining. ( we got another darkin, finally! )

But I would personally like to see new champions from other regions. Feel like the latest ones all come from ionia. I wonder will there be any new demacian champions? Or yordles? I really did like kleds lore a lot , so I am bias for more yordles, but I feel like lore wise, a lot of the interesting stuff revolves around inoia. I do hope we get to explore a lot more of mount targon's lore with , or frejord

It would be nice to deviate from Ionia a lot. Of the last 6 champions released (Taliyah, Kled, Ivern, Camille, Xayah, Rakan) a whopping 4 of them are heavily tied to Ionia. Taliyah lives there annoying Yasuo after she flees Shurima. Ivern tried to kill a tree there and became Tom Bombadill. Xayah and Rakan live there and hate Zed. Hell, if we shift back even further before Taliyah, we hit Aurelion Sol and then Jhin, making the last 5/8 champions with heavy ties to Ionia. It's only been the reworks, Aurelion, Kled, and Camille that have not had any relations to the continent. This is beginning to get a bit old.

yep we will get to that and i'm glad they released another ionian champ because the ionian lore is left open with many champs not have a lore update

And then the zaunite/Noxian urgot is next. I think we need a new Noxian, void, and Demacian (not rework)

I'd really love a new Demacian champion. I know Poppy and Taric were VGU'd fairly recently, but they don't feel relevant or core to the faction in any significant way. A proper Assassin champ for Demacia would be cool; unless that's what Riot plans to rework Quinn into, which would be alright with me since she was supposed to be the Demacian Assassin from the start anyway.

I wouldn't expect anything else on Targon until around Pantheon 's rework or if Soraka 's new lore has anything we have yet to learn about.

We need a new Yordle. Preferably a female melee yordle.

I fucking hate Kled more than anything lore wise.

A champion that feels like complete parody without having any seriousness combined with non-amplying features to me.

Kled is the least loved champion among last 20 ones by me.

His gameplay is cancer, lore is a joke.

Though of course we need champions like this as because I agree on Riot's diversity purpose since not every champion is gonna be appealing on everyone, but I hope they make it super rare in next champion releases.

I think the next champion would be Shuriman Baccai. Cause, I think, that was mentioned for the reason recently.
