We need more Icathia champions

GrReaper96·Sep 3, 2017·7 votes·1,076 views

Honestly we already have plenty of champions from Demacia, Noxus, Ionia, Bandle City, Frelyord and Shadow Isle I was gonna list each champion of those 6 regions but gave up as there were too many.

Meanwhile, in Icathia, we have Yep, just 3 champs.
Seriously Icathia is a huge untapped potential in the lore of Runeterra. The last tidbit we got was Jax lore update which wasn't even much anyways. Even adding a clear connection between existing Void creatures (especially ) and Icathia would be great. Although having another humanoid Void corrupted Champion would be uber cool. Please Rito, make Icathia great again.

Icathia is an ancient city lost in the sands of Shurima, it's just a place, there is no people anymore for long time ago, today it's just a gate between the void and Runeterra, It would be nice to see a new linked champion from there, but it's not really needed.

Kassadin is not confirmed to come from Icathia, he just discovered this place, and Malzahar is from Shurima (Look his lore), he took Kassadin's daughter into the void, and did a sacrifice, now she is trapped in there. That's why Kassadin fights against the void and is corrupted today.

Jax is the only confirmed character coming from Icathia.

We just need a lore update about this place and Jax at least

Btw I think we've better should have a new champion from the Kumungu Jungles, we only have 2 champions from there ( Zyra and Nidalee )

Yeah... all the champions from Icathia ARE from Shurima as well.

Aren't all of the Void champs technically Icathian? It's the biggest source of the Void in Runeterra iirc

Comparing Icathia to Demacia, Noxus and so on is kinda odd, since it isn't really considered a faction in this game.

If you want to compare something to them, you should go with all void related champions. Which includes Jax Kassadin Khazix KogMaw Malzahar RekSai Velkoz Chogath That looks way better, doesn't it?

Compared to other factions with small champion pools: Bilgewater: Illaoi Graves Gangplank Nautilus MissFortune TahmKench TwistedFate

Piltover: Camille Caitlyn Ezreal Heimerdinger Jayce Orianna Ziggs

Mount Targon: AurelionSol Diana Leona Pantheon Taric

It fits in line. Not saying we couldn't use another champion from the void, the last one we got was Rek'Sai and that was quite some time ago. But there are other factions with the same size of a champion pool and therefore deserve more champions just as well.

Soraka is an Ionian champion m8

Chembaron YamadaSep 3, 20172 votes

Right, overlooked that. Even if I don't know if this will be true in the future. Her lore is outdated, especially after Warwicks VGU and I kinda expect Soraka to get a new lore making her part of the Mount Targon champion pool.

She probably will be from Mount Targon, but it is likely that they keep the whole 'banished celestial' theme, so she ends up back in Ionia after her lore update anyways.

While Icathia is the biggest Void gate, there are other Void gates explicitly stated in Runeterras lore, like Mount Targon, and recently, the depths of the Ocean. Since Void beings are from another dimension, tying them to a single city just feels weird. Plus Void champions and Void corrupted champion have a different feeling to them. Sure Jax in no way feels similar to like Chogath .

All in all i pretty much just want another human-void champion. Hopefully Jax update will introduce someone else, like Ornn and Volibear

Don't forget Zilean Zilean , He's been rewritten as an Icathian a while ago. If they write about Icathia though, they need something to do with the Void too, since this is the major opening to the Void world. Plus how do you have a full-scale war between Void and Runeterra without a single champ dying?

Zilean was not supposed to come from Urtistan ?

I'd say not only some love for Kumungu, but more about the Great Barrier before that. We know there are Minotaur tribes there, but what else lives on the border with the dangerous Rune War scarred lands?

Icathia is a city that evidently went some kind of disaster that I'd bet not many people survived. I wouldn't mind another champ from Icathia aside from Jax (that's probably the only way we'll get Icathia lore), but Icathians should be extremely rare. There shouldn't be as many legends from an ancient, nuked city as from a currently thriving country.

There is the possibility that the Icathian "incident" is something entirely different from what I imagine, and maybe there are still many Icathians.
