What regions do you want new champions to come from?

Looking at the Universe page, there's over a dozen Ionian champions. Understandable because it's a melting pot of magic, creatures, and martial arts. Noxus is around a dozen, for similar but human focused reasons. Targon by contrast, only has 5. Personally, I'd love to see more void champs.

Personally, I always love any champs that are from either the Void or Shurima. Icathia too.

Arakadia5 votes

Urtisan, Void, or Icathia for sure. Freljord next probably.

From a new region.

Yes, a new Region or continent, or another realm entierly.

A lot of the main cliches of fantasy biomes and hostile environments have all been pre established into Runettera already. From egyptian/ middle eastern deserts; blistering cold northlands; Mt. Olympus; agrarian farmlands; undead zones and Yordle land.

Any ideas or examples of other unique region/s that could be introduced?

Volcano land. Wild west based nation(could be close to Bilgewater,as TF looks like he got his clothes from there) Aztec/Maya based nation.

You have accurately read my mind.

I had this idea recently of a very dead and dormant volcano. This volcano would be unnaturally large compared to most (not in competition with Mt. T obviously). Eons since the site had it's very last eruption and most of the lava contained within have cooled. Myths and rumors that unbound magic has allowed flora to grow within the cavernous insides. Areas have been excavated/hollowed out for livable purposes... And I'll stop there, as this is getting into concepts and creations territory.

We can have spirit world as a new region in the future. They are going deeper at it.

Whyte Lyon1 votes

Well the World Building team will really need to put their thinking caps on. As another dedicated ghostly region is still too similar, even if the obvious is that one is inherently evil compared to the other.

Also the regions site only has what it has because for each location there are at least 5 champs already associated. So if Riot were to ever intro a new region a bunch of champs would need to be pre established first. Hence no Urtistan or Kumungu region pages. Plus we dont have any champs from the spirit realm at all.

Personally I would put my money on all the demons in League getting their own region if anything. However maybe the demons of League come from the spirit realm too?

Fasmodey2 votes

They do? I mean they confirmed demons come from spirit world since they are evil spirits. Not all spirits are evil though. That's why we can't call it Hell.

GreenLore2 votes

TahmKench is a demon and demons were confirmed to be spirits

Also Kindred and Bard are spirits as well.

Though in the end,the spirit realm doesn't seem to be a real place,but more like a different layer of existence.

Yeah I should have thought more about what I was saying. As soon as I posted it I knew i was wrong.

No worries. <3

A floating kingdom could either be on floating islands or they live in the clouds. But what I am suggesting doesn't have to be something completely new, it could just be a nation that is not a part of valoran. Kalista's and Hecarim's old nation maybe?

GreenLore1 votes

That sounds pretty interesting actually. If Morgana and Kayle remained physical beings,then that could be their nation.

Wrathof3001 votes

Thats my theory of what they will do with them, hell even if this is not the route rito takes with Kayle and Morg. We may still see it when they explore the sky tribes of the Vastaya.

I'd love an assassin champion from Demacia. Someone who either doesn't abide by standard Demacian conventions, or adheres to its codes very strictly, ensuring his/her enemies' deaths are swift and painless. Maybe a religious assassin who follows the Light/Veiled Lady.

Irelia Bot1 votes

But... Quinn is an assassin from Demacia.

Valor Bot1 votes

In terms of gameplay, not quite. She's got the high burst, target selection, and gap-closing ability of an assassin, but lacks the pivotal escape tool that distinguishes assassins from other classes such as skirmishers and divers.

In any case, the Demacian assassin I'd like to see is more puritanical/holy in theme than the rugged/survivalist Quinn. Someone who dual-wields and is decked out in all white and gold, kind of like Cosmic Reaver Kassadin.

Guardian's Sea, or the Sea in general, there are what, 3? And one is just a changed man. I'd like to see another Marai, male one. If people think he won't be individual enough because we already have Nami well we just had 2 bird people come out and there are enough humans. Plus don him in full armour and make him melee and done.

Also, someone from off world but connected to Targon, that'll help the Targon numbers.

Warlord Dienekes3 votes

I'd still like a Targon champ entirely unrelated to that damn space empire.

Other than that, I don't know. More soldiers from Demacia and Noxus are always good. We still have room for the drill sergeant, a commander who actually plays like a commander, Demacian cavalry, and a frontline commoner infantry (as opposed to the more knightly elite guys we always get), maybe a pikeman. That'd be neat.

Noxus, we need more Noxus champs

I would like to see where ever the PROJECT world is integrated into Runeterra and then see some champions from there.

GreenLore2 votes

They are from an alternate universe,so there'll be likely never a champion from there.

The Voodoo lands (Annie)

Alternatively another Ascended from Shurima.

Noctkazaku1 votes

I'm a bit biased in that all of my favorite champs are from Noxus so of course I would like more to come from there, but the Void is the other region I would like to see more champs from.

Friendly Ram1 votes

shadow island would be my fav for a new champ.

Arcus Diabolus1 votes

Maybe some other other worldly champ, like maybe someone from Kayle and Morgana's home world.

Support Boyyy1 votes

I would like a champ from either Noxus or the Shaow Isles, preferably a mage/support champ.

Stars Shaper1 votes

I really would like to see some1 of the Radiant Order from Demacia or another Targon related champion (maybe an actual Targonian would be cool).

Shurima, Shadow Isles and Void.

For me, the Void and Shadow Isles.

Piltover and Zaun, I am really into that steampunk stuff. Shadow Isles and Void are interesting too. Bilgewater... can be good.

Mt. Targon I can't really stand the champs from there. xD But I have to admit that region deserves something new... so few champs....

I would like to see Kumungu, Rune Terra's 'spirit realm' and the Voodoo Lands (if it still exists in new lore) expanded into a fully fleshed-out official factions. Each region would offer a ton of new champion, lore, narrative and setting potential. You could introduce something like a new Aztec, Indian or Mayan-inspired civilization for Kumungu, make the Voodo Lands a hotspot for new and existing champions dealing in dark magic, and turn the vague spirit realm into the 'home' of spiritual or magic-based beings like the demons or Yordles (Bandle City now exists in some kind of pocket dimension that can only be accessed through a magic portal, after all.)

And if Aurelion Sol, Bard, the Void, the new Targonian lore and the new Dark Star skin line could be buildup for something more - then maybe Riot's planning on implementing a universal "cosmos" faction for champions that aren't native to Rune Terra? Seeing other aliens besides voidborn or even eldritch-terror space horrors as could make for amazing and creative champion additions to the roster.

In regards to existing factions - Targon, Bilgewater and Piltover's champ pools are still a little small and definitely need more additions.

And when it comes to factions that are overdue for a new champion, then the Void and the Freljord are overdue. Same with Demacia and the Shadow Isles if you don't count champion VGUs.
