http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/04/Demacia_Crest.png/revision/latest?cb=20161117052357 http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/e9/Noxus_Crest.png/revision/latest?cb=20161117055949 With the update of piltover and zaun drawn to a close we now look to the updates of the two superpowers of valoran: Demacia and noxus With each region updated some champions are unaltered and left behind when the regional reboot comes in. it can be for a number of reasons such as VGU listing/satisfied lore/small affiliation etc. With the VGU of Galio coming soon and Urgot to follow after, there can be speculation as to how many champions will be included in the lore update. between 5-8 champions can be updated at a time but i'll be optimistic and list the eight i believe will be updated for Demacia.

These 8 are the champions with the strongest ties to Demacia and have not yet been updated with an extended bio and story, though as we saw with Ekko, champions with extended bios and stories like Fiora Poppy cant be ruled out for the update, but again I'm being optimistic this is not the case. GalioGarenJarvanIVLuxQuinnShyvanaSonaXinZhao because of their efforts in shadow isles and noxus respectively I would imagine that LucianVayne be the ones to be excluded in demacias update

Noxus is a bit ore tricky. There is a possibility noxus's update might be a two parter as it has two champions high on the VGU list: Urgot Swain . Though this is purely speculation, it would however be a nice way to tell the full lore of noxus and make sure all champions get the loreUp treatment. The two groups are 'pure' noxians: noxians that personify the empires values of strength, and the black rose noxians: part of the dark order controlling the empire, spearheaded by the update of Swain. Until we get the confirmation riot said they would give us sometime next week, on who comes after Galio ( with Urgot already being leaked) this is still wishfil thinking. Pure noxians:Urgot Darius Draven Katarina Talon Black rose noxians:Swain Vladimir Leblanc Though I still can't rule out on having Sion taking a spot in the update, Kled not so much the champions that have a good chance of being left out due to there high connections in shurima and ionia respectively are:Cassiopeia Riven

Once we have gotten confirmation on who the 4th or possible 5th VGU are, then i can begin speculation on the two regions that most certainly updated next year: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/0d/Freljord_crest.png/revision/latest?cb=20161117021436 http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/ae/Ionia_Crest.png/revision/latest?cb=20161117020756

If they announce Swain's VGU along with Urgot I will lose my mind.

I imagine that Noxus might get their lore update in 2 parts. The first for Urgot and the second for Swain.

I agree with most of your argument but only 1 point I disagree with you is that Urgot as Pure Noxian.

Yeah, Urgot is Noxian by birth but he also has a strong tie with Zaun. He was given his ugly body by Zaun's scientist and he is now, From his current bio, working for Prof. Stanwick. That's why Reav3 think of Urgot as more hybrid champ.

"While Urgot is technically Noxian, he has strong ties with Zaun" stated Reav3 from http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/champions-skins/champion-update/state-champion-update

That's why I come up with an idea that Urgot should be spearhead of Noxus relaunch introduction while Swain will take the main part of it.
