We know that Aurelion Sol refers to alien threats in one of his voicelines which I don't think are void creatures. "The depths of space crawl with terrible entities. Pray they ignore this world." Also with the retcon of Darkin no longer being alien invaders I thought having more champs that come from other worlds might be fun. Also if you think it's impossible then remember that Aurelion Sol is technically an alien.
Lewanor9 votesI don't want that to happens to be honest. We already have Shurima plot, Freljord Plot, Shadow Isles plot etc. you get me, then this is only the 1/6 of the Runeterra. I hope they remain within the world itself
Chromatic Eagle4 votesCan always use aliens to explore the rest of the world.
Lanceworks1 votesI mean the "Alien Plot" already exists with Targon.
Lewanor1 votesEh, we don't know what they are to be honest. They are beyond to be called as aliens imo. When I think of "alien" I think of old Taric and Malphite. Strong beings that literally was living another planet.
HydrexWolfy1 votesI'm pretty sure we know that the Targonians are Demi-Gods who watch over Runeterra. I wouldn't consider them aliens tbh
He4rtkiller7 votesA Sol is not the only "alien" we have. Bard is an "alien" too. Zoe, Leona, Diana, Tarik and Pantheon are arguably at least part alien as well.
Wrathof3007 votesRiot had previously stated that they aren't going to be exploring other worlds.
The closest we may get are celestial beings similar to 
or 
. They aren't aliens from another world, rather something closer to spirits from a higher realm that oversees the stars and Runeterra and possibly other worlds, 
may even end up being considered a celestial himself.
Riot has made this whole thing confusing with Targon having an interstellar empire, but then stating that Runeterra is big enough for them to tell all of their stories without exploring other worlds.
Interestingly enough 's story was extremely well done and I'd like to hope that Targon will be shifted in line with this newer concept of celestials going forward.
mrmeddyman3 votesTargon can have an interstellar empire, but we don't have to go into detail about it for it to be within the scope of Runeterran storytelling. If anything Riot lore-dumping Targon interstellar Empire would dispel the mystery surrounding Targon and make it uninteresting
Wrathof3002 votesAs I stated the Targon lore has left me confused at this point, I myself am unsure whether I want the interstellar empire aspect of it to stay or go.
From the 'Avenger viewpoint', when you have 140+ champs and have only explored 1/6 of Runeterra, it makes sense that Targon's empire would go unexplored. The Vastaya and Darkin updates are proof that there is room for these other and newer races in Runeterra's history, without the need for other planets to be involved. However, from the 'Thor viewpoint', these are champs exclusive to Targon, it makes no sense that you have this potentially enormous background behind these characters and never make use of it. Yes, "Asgard" and "Midgard" are the main focal points however the other realms can be used to produce an array of characters and plot available for story telling. Whereas from the 'Avenger' point of view Targon's interstellar empire is just a plot device to explain why entities like Sol and Bard aren't on Runeterra 24/7.
Soraka on the other hand introduced the idea of celestial beings that oversee Runeterra and gave a reasonable explanation for why a celestial being like Soraka would concern herself with the mortal races of Runeterra. A concept of celestials much more in line with Riot's statement to keep the stories Runeterrra focused (and what I was actually hoping we'd eventually get from the Targonians). So I am really happy how Soraka's lore turned out and her connection to Targon but I have no clue what to expect from Targonians themselves going forward, this is due to the lack of info we have on them.
This is why Targon Prime, the beings that captured Sol and the ones in charge of said interstellar empire, should be fleshed out, and I disagree that doing so would result in the region becoming uninteresting. Mystery should be as a result of ambiguity not solely as a result of a lack of information. Sorry for the long read, I'm really just hoping Riot knows what they're doing.
14daysuspensionk4 votesWell... There is a very alien look alike champion that is long forgotten simply becuase they were cancelled.

The Highest Noon3 votesI'd like an alien champion. And I have just the design in mind, too! Cosmic waifu let's gooooo! https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/110/images/36188-2-1379482394.jpg
Arakadia1 votesI know your being kinda jokey, but honestly I'd prefer something that actually looks alien. Like it developed and evolved on another planet. Hell, if you go just beneath the surface of Earth's waves you will see some vastly different things due to how environment effects evolution. Something that originates from another planet should be very different at least and unrecognizable as life at best.
It would just be more interesting than another alien like Soraka who looks very human like for an alien. (Yes I know Soraka has reason to look human, its just if your going to make a character whose theme is they are totally not from Runeterra, they shouldn't look anything like what you'd find on Runeterra. We already have Soraka for "alien taking on Runeterran form".)
The Highest Noon1 votesI get what you're saying, but we already have Voidspawn lol and they're pretty alien. And I know they're just skins, but the Dark Star skins might just be what you're talking about. Those designs are pretty alien too. The first step in creating an alien line of champions is figuring out how they factor into the lore and the world.
Arakadia1 votesI do agree, but even the Voidspawn looks very 'earthly' in the sense that they could totally originate from Runeterra as just weird purple bugs.
These designs for the Void are much more alien than something like Kha'zix. Unfortunately something this alien and detailed doesn't very well translate into League gameplay, but it is pretty cool and possibly applicable in something outside of League as a moba.
The Highest Noon1 votesThat link doesnt' work :o
The Highest Noon1 votesAh, I see it now. While I do think that design's more "alien", it's also in no way shape nor form a League of Legends character design lol
Ionian Vulpix3 votesTaric and Malphite were originally pulled over from another world. So were Kayle and Morgana.

And Nasus, Renekton, and Anivia if memory serves.

Vlada Cut2 votesOr that was just a refference to the old Darkin role which was updated and so ahould that line.
Aσtsuke2 votes_ "The depths of space crawl with terrible entities. Pray they ignore this world."_
To me, that line was always referring to the Dark Star, especially the latter. There's also the fact that Sol isn't the only one of his kind and he has sisters if I recall correctly.

Dark Star isn't canon, even though a lot of people take that line as referencing it. But Event Horizon is explicitly an entire other universe.
Phieldworker1 votesMaybe they can be his siblings. Swain does have a line where he says “what is this about...siblings”
mrmeddyman2 votesThat was revealed to be a reference to the development process surrounding A Sol not a tease of any sort
"From the Aurelion Sol Q&A:
We toyed with the idea very early on that Aurelion Sol had "sisters" out in the cosmos, with their own unique talents. Aurelion's was stars whereas "gravity" or "dark matter" would be another's. This idea became what's known as an "artifact" during the development process, in which it means it fell away from being part of the champ's story. Regardless, there is only one star-forging dragon. There are other celestial entities, but whether or not they are dragons has yet to be seen. Most likely, though, not."
