Hey dude sorry, since story has been conjoined with art and sound, no one actually talks about theories and lore any more. I wish more people would join your discussion. But my guess would be an Ionian

Well we can change that. Theories and lore are half of the fun in Narrative.

Insanity Song4 votes

Agreed man Theories help a lot with the enjoyment of games like just picturing something like seeing hecarim fighting tryndmere picture how amazing it would be and look

Insanity Song4 votes

It would have to be somebody easy to be corrupted like maybe Fizz he's not to serious and maybe nuatalius because he's only driven by revenge

Kadavik2 votes

Nautilus is a great one. I feel like another good one would be Viktor. Kind of like a Mechromancer scenario. Now that would be awesome.

He's probably a little purple. He did drown afterall.

Teemo. Not so much getting corrupted by the black mist, but more like absorbing its power to wreak havoc and devastation on the world.

Kadavik5 votes

Oh God. What have we created...

Syndra? She has a massive amount of power, the lust for power could be corrupted by the Black Mist and she could be twisted by it.

Kadavik3 votes

I feel like she's too protective of her own powers to be corrupted if it makes any sense. She would probably feel like she can already acomplish anything the black mist can offer her without its help.

UomoAfide3 votes

Everything except escaping death, you should consider that the incredible amount of power wielded by Syndra could also be affecting her body in a bad way. Theorising that the use of power accelerate the decay rate and her aging you could understand why she might be tempted by the promise of eternal (un)life.

Kadavik2 votes

Dang never thought of it that way.

UomoAfide2 votes

That's just my theorycrafting, but i think it could be a plausible way for her to become part of the Black Mist Super Duper Living Beings Reaping Annual Party

I'd say Renekton. He's already consumed by anger and can't think straight. All he needs is a little temptation for more power and you have SoulStealer Renekton. The breif description could be this: Renekton tempted by the offerings the Black Mist have allowed it to consume him and make him what it promised to be, stronger. And stronger he is. Renekton was once half mortal and half god but now the mortal part is removed replaced by something darker....something ancient.. Renekton has moved passed emotions and is no longer powered by anger and fury but now by souls and hunger. And even though he doesn't have his quest for revenge on his mind anymore, he wonders how strong could a demigod's soul make him?

I believe Renekton is a vastly powerful entity for Black Mist. Even a human with a strong will can overwhelm the Black Mist, aka human Karthus. Renekton should be immune to Black Mist.

GreenLore2 votes

Karthus didn't overwhelm the black mist,he merely accepted it.

Fasmodey2 votes

Karthus didn't overwhelm the black mist,he merely accepted it.

And he didn't lose his free mind. Which means he overwhelmed. It doesn't matter if you wanna die or don't, I believe.

His will was too strong.

GreenLore3 votes

Well afterwards he did decide that he must go on a crusade to give everyone the "gift" of undeath.

And in general it looks like the mist leaves the personalities of its victims mostly intact anyway,I mean Hecarim and Thresh were like evil before they were turned into undeads and Kalista only seems to loose her selfawareness because she keeps absorbing the souls of others.

Annie .. because 10 skins are just not enough.

Kadavik4 votes

Now that would be unBEARable.

This really inFLAMEs my spirit.

ANNIE more puns? ANNIEbody?

UomoAfide1 votes

Isn't this getting a little TEDDYous?

Ryzing2Diamond3 votes

Logic would say that Ryze would be a very easy candidate for corruption, since he's on a quest for knowledge, and the shadow isles are filled with unknown magics. The problem? He's actually really powerful in the lore. Like.... Really powerful. He would be the scariest to be corrupted for sure.

Kadavik1 votes

Imagine Karthus' necromancy alongside Ryze's pure arcane potential. Too spooky 4 me.

KoggyStyle3 votes

Morgana seems legit.

Ebonmaw Dragon3 votes

Mordekaiser ... Yes... him...

Because he is one of the few undead that havent been corrupted by the Black Mist, yet... but it doesnt mean that he wont be affected in the future.

Kadavik2 votes

Didn't he have control over it?

Ebonmaw Dragon5 votes

Didn't he have control over it?

If he had full control over the Black Mist, Runterra would be in an eternal harrowing already.

Bârd1 votes

Morde controls the mist, but he doesn't yet have the power to spread it across the land eternally.

Should he remain unchecked, he would eventually gain enough power to do so, but not yet.

If you consider the underworld / soul reaver / soul stealer skin lines to be champs who have been corrupted by the black mist, then TF, Wukong, Draven, and a few others have already fallen. Who would make a good addition to those skin lines might make for a more interesting discussion (or even the creation of a new skin line for this idea, similar to void fizz being a void corrupted version of fizz)

Kadavik1 votes

I'm talking from a lore perspective so anyone outside those skin lines could be a candidate as well. I don't want to focus too much on the skins aspect and more on the concept itself.

Friendly Ram2 votes

I feel that xerath or azir would be good picks.

Kadavik1 votes

Kind of like a curse of the mummy scenario?

Friendly Ram2 votes

Never seen it. Just saw gravelord azir and xerath is a being of pure energy so thought they would fit.

BirdOfTheBlazes2 votes

I personally feel that Trundle would be corrupted by the black mist, he doesn't seem to care about anything but power. I mean seriously... what else does he care about?

Meep Man2 votes

Lucian has the highest chances of being corrupted since he basically lives among the dead and he was only able to overcome Thresh with the help of he tortured souls in his lantern, which I doubt Thresh will let happen again

Kadavik1 votes

Maybe he would accept the Black Mist if he found out it was the only way to free Senna. Now THAT is interesting.

Witch of Babylon2 votes

Idk I'd like to see Soraka get corrupted

Kadavik1 votes

Man that is interesting. How do you think it would affect her powers?

Varus Vindicator2 votes

Varus X Soraka ship intensifies!

Varus: "Did someone say corruption?"

Jesus Christ Varus get out of the State Senate. You do this every time I swear.

Varus Vindicator2 votes

Hey, it aint my fault they're such easy targets.

Horidas2 votes

Rengar or Khazix (though death blossum is close enough)

I'm probably pretty biased because I'm a kha'zix main first, rengar second, but eh. I'd love to see what'd happen to void creature corrupted by the mist, if possible. I kind of feel Rengar could get a skin a bit like gravelord azir or gatekeeper galio almost.

TenshouSNK1 votes

Guys, I have a question about Thresh. Does he have souls in his lantern the pre-date the institute of war or the summoners rift?

Kadavik1 votes

I would love to anwer you question. Could you please clarify?
