What Should the Next Champion Be or From?

Alright everyone it's the JellyMAN_ (Theme Song blasting in the background)_....no seriously hi everyone whats going today I am here to talk about Champions, not concepts exactly but about where we would like to see the Next Champion to come from. So far we are mainly getting the majorty of Champions from the following locations or at the very least have a connection to this location: Demcia Noxus Piltover Freljord Void Shadow Iles Just to be clear i'm not upset about mainly getting Champions from these locations or at least having some connection to them, but I would like to see Champions to come from places we never seen or hear of, not only do I think this would allow the developers to in-rich their LORE by introducing new places & show the people from their who can have the potential to be a Champion.

The Voodoo Lands I maybe wrong about this but as far as I know we only have 1 Champion who is from the Voodoo Lands & that would be our little pyromania with the bear & that would be Annie. So the Voodoo lands is suppose to be a place where witches, cultist & other practitioners of "dark magic" are living and are continue doing what they do, my only question is why are we not getting anymore of these type of people as playable Champions? I mean Riot should have a ton of ideas for these guys for example:

.a witch that uses a black cauldron to do most of spells, this could be translated into a Mid-Lane Mage that has to balance in using not only her regular mana bar but maybe her own cauldron's own resource & she can switch between her own spells which focus on DPS and the cauldrons own dark powers for Crowed Control or for Crippling De-Buffs & Buffs.

.or how about a cultist that could be a Summoner like a mixture of in the sense of summoning beings of his faith & have them fight for him & in having 1 Ability that can use the summoned being in some way or have better control of the summoned beings. as his summons are pushing lanes he could be a Health Based Mage that uses % usage of his HP to Heal his Summons or perform rituals for Crowed Control to help his Summons in fighting enemy Champions or aid in scaling team fights.

Plague Jungle Me personally I would LOVE to see some more feral animal or tribal themed Champions, & so far from the Plague Jungles & Kumungu we have: Nidalee & Zyra. I mean come on its a unexplored jungle hold untold wealth of material to make Champions that can have so much variety in terms of design & theme. We can have monster bugs, rapid animals, living plants or maybe even some savage tribe member that wondered into the Institute of War & now is turned into a Champion:

.the Tribal Savage concept could be either a very stealthy ambush Assassin or brutal Fighter that can inflict fear into enemies making a total badass in 1-on-1 duels, while having minimal effectiveness in team fights, now since this savage probably isn't a tuned to magic he could have a special resource unique to him that can help in either surviving fights or means of enhancing his Abilities to give them additional effects or something like that.

Ionia Ionia has just has much Champions as the other well-know areas of Valron, but to me I sort of forget them or they don't make as much as impresition on me, also I can't remember who was the latest Champion to come from Ionia. this Location is just me nit-picking at a small little thing that's just bugging me.

Shurima with the introduction of Azir & the relation he has with Sivir being his remaining blood relative _(if i'm off the mark on this I do apologize) _ I honestly thought Riot was gonna do a few more Champion who came from Shurima that has something do with his revival into the world & his plan to revive his lost kingdom....but that didn't happen which bumped me out a little bit. I know we got RekSai but view her as a Void Champion who just lives in Shurima as a elite wildlife, I would love to some more Champions be brought to lost city to make it seem more interesting to study up on.

.Riot could make Azir go around Shurima recruiting people to help restore his lost kingdom & maybe make some of those hired hands his elite warriors or right hand men to help bring Shurima under his rule. he could also possiablly tame wild spirits or summon ancient beings of Shurima for the same cause, I actually made such a Champion Concept here is the link if you want to look at it: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/9bWFoHYe-champion-concept-shuraako-the-howling-winds-of-shurima

Yordal Land (or Bandle City) I...ABSOLUTELY...LOVE....YORDAL'S XD! they are so cute & very unique, there tiny furry mad genius, warriors or some funny cave creatures & they are my favorite faction aside from the Void. As far as the latest &/or most recent member of my favorite furry munchkins that would be Gnar, as for what came afterwords we got a Tristana rework & i think we're gonna get a Poppy rework. I'm pretty sure there is some Rioter that wants to add 1 or 2 new-blood Yordal's.

Pantheon: Has my home really been forgotten? Leona: I think so. Targon doesn't seem interesting anymore. Would be nice to have another champion from there. Maybe someone else I can have conversations with besides you and the person who wants me dead. Diana: I SHALL DESTROY YOU! Leona sighs. Pantheon weeps. Diana Luner rushes

Voodoo Lands. I am honestly surprised that within the 127 champions they have released, only Annie has come from it.

I'm honestly surprised after all these years,the only info we have on the Voodoo Lands come from Annie's lore.Hell,even Annie herself is lacking in lore.She just got her background lore.This is unfortunate for a champ who been in the game since the beta.No JOJ cameo,no league judgement,she has very little. I would like to learn more about both Annie & the Voodoo Lands.

I would too. The voodoo lands is a place where two powerful magic users set up a community. Why and how intrigues me.

Though I'd prefer Targon first. Then anywhere is fine.

{quoted} Why and how intrigues me.

Part of that is explained in Annie's lore,mostly the "Wny".

In the time shortly before~~ the League~~, there were those within the sinister city-state of Noxus who did not agree with the evils perpetrated by the Noxian High Command. The High Command had just put down a coup attempt from the self-proclaimed Crown Prince Raschallion, and a crack down on any form of dissent against the new government was underway. These political and social outcasts, known as the Gray Order, sought to leave their neighbors in peace as they pursued dark arcane knowledge. The leaders of this outcast society were a married couple: Gregori Hastur, the Gray Warlock, and his wife Amoline, the Shadow Witch. Together they led an exodus of magicians and other intelligentsia from Noxus, resettling their followers beyond the Great Barrier to the northern reaches of the unforgiving Voodoo Lands. Though survival was a challenge at times, the Gray Order's colony managed to thrive in a land where so many others would have failed.

Basically,a group of Noxians left Noxus to peacefully pursue dark arcane knowledge.They pretty much settled in the VL & the leaders of this group had a baby name Annie.Still doesn't answer the "How" part of your intrigue though.

Now all this is lore that could potentially be changed.

I don't care where they come from, I just want a champion that's light-hearted like Braum or any of the yordles. Kindred, Tahm, Ekko, so on, they're just so serious and/or dark.

The biggest question concerning it is the translation of its champ select quote is the champion saying sermon or lesson either way the more likely solution is Ionia which is the most spiritual fraction

They say either "sermon", or "lecture" but it could be metaphorical I'm not sure.

That aside it's not the only faction that has religion.
