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.

Yeah I've read that forum before, reason i included him was not because of him being pure noxian, but only that he we lead up to the pure noxian when the update comes

Oh, I just got ur point my bad though. You meant Urgot could be spearhead of part 1 of Noxus relaunch led by those whom labeled as Pure Noxian? Good Idea though.

Anyway, some of them could also be related to part 2 or The Black Rose episode, especially Darius . As we all know Darius serves as right hand of Swain but he might has his true agenda in his mind.

I see your point and I'm still not convinced. I'm sorry but for me Darius has not given off the sinister, insidious secret order vibe. He is 100% hack and slash , take no prisoners , balls of steel noxian. To me he is as much a hand of noxus to swain as Sion was to darkwill: the great soldier that can inspire great fear and relentless courage in his troops, the symbol of noxian strength and perseverance. All in all noxus' poster boy. Im not saying that there is not more to Darius but his character and personality to me screams an extreme patriarch who personifies the best( or worst if you ask other nations) qualities of noxus. His relationship with Swain to me has always been a brains and brawn combo. With Darius as his right manSwain is able to project a physical dominating presence that noxians revere and deter any opposition while his own cunning and tactical genius makes him a formidable player in the political and shadow games of the noxian court. Swain may share something's with Darius but not everything and they have shown to not always see eye to eye as Darius deeply disapproved Sions reanimation. So yah that's how I see Darius , whatever the riot team decides we'll just have to wait and see. At this point while I really, really , really really want to see a noxus two parter But if not I'll be satisfied with a rework for Evelynn.Can't wait for the 4th vgu announcement next week

Solid point though. I just want to point out that they would likely add Darius to Swain part since they are so related. What I talked about Darius above was just an example.

I'm still thinking Evelynn has a good chance to be next after Galio but not as high as most ppl thinking.

We shouldn't wait for the next ChampUp blog longer than next Wednesday.

When you word it like that I guess Darius could go with the black rose group And lord I hope we see that blog on Wednesday or earlier And you know I never thought of they do Evelynn so that they have time between to do a possible Urgot Swain two parter

What? Urgot working for Professor Stanwick? That doesn't make senes, cause one, he still works for Noxus, and two Stanwick is from Piltover who wants nothing to do with Noxus. If anything, I feel like Stanwick would be working for Urgot (likely by force).

Xodiathe4bdn11 votes

I'd say it was more like professor stanwick was commissioned by Swain to fix Urgot likely based off of stanwicks (false) achievement on Blitzcrank. When he gets his relaunch, if he is anything like he is now. Then the masters of the piltover university are idiots for thinking he did Blitzcrank
