Riot I think I may be speaking for a lot of people right now:

I would absolutely LOVE another lore event. Something that even the community could possibly effect, that will directly influence Runeterra.

Another war? Void invasion? UGH!!!! Riot please. We want this.

I rarely talk, but right now I freaking agree with you ! I want to see some evolutions like Gangplank, some lore, some skin, VO uptade, whatever. I just want to feel that the lore is progressing !

I just want another Void creature champion. Kaisai was such a let down.

Kids these days will never relive the glory and majesty of Burning Tides. It's a shame it was so difficult for Riot to put together.

Maybe not a Giant war like event that effects many champions since they said they will do the big ones once ALL of the champions are set up Fiddlesticks cough Soraka etc.

The best one Riot could do would be past wars that have occurred on Runeterra. Imagine getting to experience the Darkin war in full detail, getting to side with specific Ascended as Factions and complete missions and get rewards as your faction becomes more Darkin, and end the event with the Darkin being sealed by the Targonians. A full event without Riot having to commit to significant changes to the lore.

Similarly Mordekaiser, if for his rework they release a game mode where you have to defeat basically a "Doombots Morde" and his armies, and we get to experience stories of Morde's full tyranny. Again a major event without having significant effect on the lore, because these were conflicts already solved.

One thing I'd love to see from League that was great in another game is the idea of picking a side and playing in a game mode where you represent that side. Now I'm pulling this from a very different game, Neopets (haha [not a joke {its fair to laugh though}]). In Neopets, you could select one of two sides and be queued to battle against people on the other side. For example, in league if there was a war between Demacia and Noxus, then you would battle alongside Demacians vs. Noxus enemies.

It would be relatively simple for Riot to do this. First they should have players select between Demacia and Noxus. Lets say Summoner 1 selects Demacia. Next Riot should set up a special queue/game mode that matches Demacians together on Team 1 and Noxians on Team 2; if you selected Demacia then all your teammates also selected Demacia and vice versa for Noxus. Finally, they should restrict the champions for the Demacians to Demacian champions and their allies, ie Garen JarvanIV Lux Quinn Sona (Note: this is a sample team, not a conclusive list). Likewise, Noxus champ pool should be limited to their champions and allies such as Darius Talon Swain Urgot Draven .

Notably, this could present meta issues (or force meta innovation!) due to the limited champ selection for either side. One way to remedy this is to add lore explaining recruiting of champs from other regions for Noxus (ie Graves being recruited to Noxus as a mercenary, Olaf being recruited to Noxus on promise of help gaining back something in Freljord, etc).

Lastly, the wins and losses should be shown statically and people should be able to see their team's progress.

This would be an excellent way to combine competition with the lore and advance Riot's product. Further, they could release skin lines in tandem with the event that promotes the war that is perhaps automatically present on the champs during the war but purchasable at the end. The side that wins the war could be granted special chromas to those skins so long as they purchase those skins during the war.

Also: Riot I'm in law school, feel free to hire me.

I don't think it should be the Void. The Void should be a big thing on its own and I feel like events like Burning Tides need to be more region based and the Void is something that should effect the whole world of Runeterra.

We usually have a lore event once a year or so, which is pretty good. This years "lore event" was just Ryze update where they focused less on new stuff and more on updating old stuff, which was kinda needed. We'll get another one next year.

A war? You do understand that wars take years and multiple engagements to come to a conclusion?

I mean in the world of Runeterra, a full blown out war would impact EVERYONE. That kind of an event would simply shake the foundations that the current revamped lore is based on.

I mean yeah, i'd like an event too but the scale can't be ridiculously huge as Riot propably isn't prepared to multitask this hard for a single event and keep doing everything else at the same time.

hey, what if rito decided to do a fortnite? gee gee, this game is going to get overrun by 8 year old squeakers.

I dont mind them doing large lore events like this and would love for them to do these but 1st they need to give everyone a starting place and like motivation in runeterra because we still have champs that havent been updated yet. Then we need the story to actually progress to build up to this war. It's no fun if once a year we just have this large scale event with a short story to give us the basics of why this war is happening, or a large info dump. And the last thing is I don't want these events to just turn into a popularity contest and this is probably the hardest part to actually implement, I want it to have some form of strategy to it whether it be something as basic as fire emblem heroes multiplier system (with ways to communicate between the teams and there being ways for each language to understand each other). And then I want the difficulty of each side to match the story.

Ie. Darius's group is under siege and they have to last against all of demacia and for some reason Ionia together until Noxus can send reinforcements. Each side shouldn't be at a neutral position whoever chooses to be on the side with Darius should be playing at a heavy disadvantage because that's what it's like in the story right now.

Umm, Gangplank died before because of MissFortune , So i would love to see something that we the players could control, just in a "not super dark" way.

The thing is Riot doesnt want war... And we the players do... There has never actually been concrete conflict in runeterra( as of live, on servers events)! Riot doesnt want to bring conflict to an end to even to a start ever and its so frustrating! Id love to see Lissandra in war but wont happen... Or I dlove to see the watchers return or break free or similar
