The Factions' current roster sizes.

(This does not completely reflect what's listed on the official site.) Do you think an effort should be made with future releases to make the size of each faction more equal? Kumungu and Targon are the smallest, Kumungu barely being a faction, it being made up of independent champions. 10 champions are independent; should any of those be incorporated into a faction to some extent, do you think?

Ionia - - - - - - - - - -15 Demacia - - - - - - 13 Freljord - - - - - - - 12 Bandle City - - - -10 Noxus - - - - - - - - 10 Zaun - - - - - - - - - 10 Shadow Isles - - 9 Shurima - - - - - - -9 Bilgewater - - - - -8 The Void - - - - - - 7 Piltover - - - - - - - 6 Targon - - - - - - - -4 Kumungu - - - - - -3 - Barely a faction. Independent - - 10

( put in Targon; put in Freljord; put in Bilgewater; put in Zaun; put in Piltover) Edit: Moved Wukong to Ionia.

I would say MonkeyKing shouldn't be classified as a Kumungu champion because of his relationship with MasterYi . He's pretty much a resident Ionian at this point. I feel like they might end up retconning out Wukong even coming from the Plague Jungles but that's just me. Either way I wouldn't put him there.

Alistar I agree with; greek minotaurs being linked to the greek place in League? Sounds about right.

Udyr 's already aligned with the Winter's Claw in Freljord and was born in Freljord, so while he's been an ally of Ionia there should be no doubts by now that he's a Freljordian.

Nami I agree with this one to; even though she's not from Bilgewater a lot of her story will likely take place there, given the nature of the place.

Urgot is still Noxian imo, he just got a little help staying alive from some Zaun techmaturgy. The dude is, and likely will continue to remain Noxian.

Zilean kinda doesn't make any sense really. The dude's from Urtistan so it'd make more sense saying he's Shuriman, considering Urtistan's likely located in the Shurima Desert, or even just independent.

Also I went and checked the lol champion pages for Panth, Diana and Leona because I wondered if they had Targon listed as a region or if they were independent. They do have Targon listed thank god, I thought they didn't!

Did you count Sona as ionian or demacian?Sure she was born in Ionia,but she now lives in demacia(and appearantly grew up there) or did you count Bard as ionian?

I think independent champs are ok as long as they still have their place in the lore(unlike Ryze who has currently no point of origin,no known place to live and we don't know anything about him)

Those placements for zilean and udyr make no sense, udyr shouild be in kumungu and zil should be unaffiliated

So is Annie considered a independent or a Noxian? Since her family & the Gray Order left Noxus years before she was born in her lore,I imagine she's an independent.Though,I don't know how much of this is canon now since she have been starved of narrative love for years (all she got is her bio).

So Trying to put the champs to their respective factions: Ionia(15): Ahri Akali Irelia Jax Karma Kennen LeeSin MasterYi Shen Soraka Syndra Varus MonkeyKing Yasuo Zed

Demacia(13): Fiora Galio Garen JarvanIV Kayle Lucian Lux Quinn Shyvana Sona Taric Vayne XinZhao (I assume you counted kayle and Taric to demacia based on the official site and counted poppy as a bandle champ)

Freljord(12): Avarosan(6): Anivia Ashe Braum Gragas Nunu Tryndamere Winters claw(4): Sejuani Olaf Volibear Udyr Frostguard(2): Lissandra Trundle

Bandle City(10) Corki Heimerdinger Gnar Lulu Poppy Rumble Teemo Tristana Veigar Ziggs

Noxus(10) Darius Draven Katarina Leblanc Morgana Riven Sion Swain Talon Vladimir (I assume you counted Cassio towards shurima)

Zaun(10) Blitzcrank DrMundo Ekko Jinx Singed Twitch Urgot Viktor Warwick Zac

Shadow Isles(9) Elise Evelynn Hecarim Kalista Karthus Maokai Mordekaiser Thresh Yorick

Shuirma(9) Amumu Azir Cassiopeia Nasus Rammus Renekton Sivir Skarner Xerath

Bilgewater(8) Fizz Gangplank Graves MissFortune Nami Nautilus TahmKench TwistedFate

Void(7) Chogath Kassadin Khazix KogMaw Malzahar RekSai Velkoz

Piltover(6) Caitlyn Ezreal Jayce Orianna Zilean

Targon(4) Alistar Diana Leona Pantheon

Kumungu(3) Nidalee Rengar Zyra

Others(10) Aatrox Annie Bard Fiddlesticks Janna Malphite Nocturne Ryze Shaco

Personally I'd say that Poppy would fit more with Demacia and urgot&Cassiopeia more with Noxus,I mean Poppy now works for demacia if I'm not mistaken and even though Urgot&Cassiopeia gained their powers elsewhere and their stories play at a different location doesn't mean they aren't noxians.(otherwise we could also count Kha'Zix as a kumungu champ and Rek'sai as a shurima champ,the 2 have no real connection to the void anymore,except from originating from the void)

As for putting the others into factions: I think Malphite would fit into the Targon faction(because Targon is a mountain and Malphite is a rock...),Janna could be still counted towards zaun,even if she doesn't live there anymore(I mean riven is also counted as a noxian even if she left that place) and Brand could be seen as being from the freljord,because he was frozen in there and its implied that he has a connection to lissandra.

FYI Heimerdinger and Ziggs are both in Piltover, so you should boost that up to 8 instead of 6.
