The Bilgewater event last year was friggen amazing. I love everything from the interactive quests for icons to Black Market Brawlers with my favorite thing being the new music and Gangplank announcer. Just incredible. I would love to see the Void get a similar event. Malzahar, Vel'koz or Kassadin could be the announcer even. The Lore was awesome too, and i would love to see how a Void Invasion of sorts would be handled
I'm honestly hoping it turns out that there's more to the Void than 'no, they're totally not Tyranids from another plane of existence'.
The Will that Sol felt was obviously intelligent. So are the Voidborn. Intelligent things don't just go around destroying stuff for kicks and giggles. They have reason for what they do. Something motivates them. So here's a completely random concept based in part on Cho's selection quote.
"Death will not be the end for you. I have seen to it. For eternity, you are mine."
Imagine for a moment that the Void is a place wholly alien to the structured universe of Runeterra. We already know that Voidlings don't react quite right to physical forces they don't really 'get'. Sol told us as much. So let's take that a step further. In the Void, physical law does not exist in any way we could relate to. There are no external physical constants. There is only Will. What is 'real' becomes a plastic, flowing thing shaped by the Wills that inhabit the Void. These Wills consume, but nothing ever really dies. They're just drawn into the purpose of the stronger Will.
What would such beings see in a world like Runeterra?
"Such... hideous creatures..."
They would see a world calcified in form. Seared by burning light and suffocated by smothering law. A place where the pitiless, merciless march of unyielding physical reality destroys Wills. A place where Wills cease to be, where their rotted, festering remains are gorged upon by Nagaboros and vomited back out as mockeries scoured of the minds that once were. A place where things perish and cease to be. A place where Wills wither under the tyranny of unfeeling rules that serve only to perpetuate an endless cycle of purposeless suffering.
If any of the Wills that dwell in the Void are capable of feeling anything like empathy, how could they allow such a hideous, existentially terrifying place to continue existing when it's within the realm of their ability to end it?
And end it they will.
In the only way they know how.
"Om nom nom nom nom!"
Most likely i'd say, not sure when or how but we're gonna definitely see a Void inspired event. Probably the Void invasion of Valoran, many new or reworked champs tend to include at least a notice about Voidlings and Voidspawns. We also have Aurelion's short story which hints at a possible Void god or supreme Void entity opposed to him that he fought in the past. So yeah, we're probably gonna see a Void event one day. Next Event? Hard to say, but definitely in the making.
I agree the Void is incredibly cool but it's probably gonna be after the Shurima and Noxus events.
In general I think despite how awesome it is, the Void is very hard to write about. While Noxus/Shurima are full of human intrigue and politics and whatnot, the Void has, in total, 2 humans and the rest is monsters.
The best that could be done will be straight Lovecraft fanfiction, because this is what the Void lore originally is. Unless, of course, other factions are involved.
an ally has been slain
: Your ally has not evolved past avoiding pain
double kill
: Two of your allies have lost knowledge
an enemy has been slain
: Your ally is superior to the enemy
enemy turret destroyed
: We have learned how to destroy a turret.
I wouldn't make Kassadin the announcer. Imagine hearing heavy breathing like Darth Vader during all your games..
man a void event would be so damn trippy
i would expect them to release a new champ with this but who could it be? a new creature ' type? or perhaps kassadins daughter taken as sacrafice into the void and turned into a monster?
another thing being they would really have to explain what the void is? what it looks like? is there some sort of system there or is it just a jungle of monsters? what shade of purple is it? there would have to be a lot of explaining needed especially if its gonna be described only through short stories
i can also see the void event being the very last thing that is somewhat of an "endgame" for all these other lore events happening most of them have had some sort of mention of the void so perhaps some final confrontation will happen that involves it
regardless i not only hope we get one but i expect one :3
Hopefully they'll kill Malzahar
Yeah... I mean all the void lore apart from Malzahar and Kassadin so far is: "A wild <champion> appears!"
I think it'd be interesting if there was an event where Malzahar is trying to open a gateway to the void to allow more powerful beings to enter and Kassadin is trying to stop him.
Announcer
crackle crackle crackle
I want Rek'sai to be the commentator
It won't come until 
is fixed
and that might take some time [zombie-brand-facepalm]
Yea We've had Bilgewater, Shurima (Ascension), Frejlord, but not Piltover or Yordletown (sorry forgot what it was called xD) Noxas, Void, and Demacia, or Ionia, and Targon and Zaun... so chances are kinda high, higher because of Taliya coming out soon... Sorry if I just butchered all the spellings xD
