The Watchers are back, so is Mordekaiser. The Shadow Isles are growing bolder by the day. Demacia and Noxus are at each other's throats. Targon is in turmoil. The Darkin have woken up. The World Runes are resurfacing. Ionia is in the midst of a full on rebellion against Noxus. Aurelion Sol is angry af. Freljord is in the midst of a tribal war. Shurima has just risen, along with both Azir and Xerath, so that's not going to end well. Demons are running wild. All that plus the ever looming threat of the Void is a recipe for disaster.

Bear in mind the runeterra we know is only a portion of the full planet. There could be similar or even worse things happening on other continents

Alright, let take bets. Who or What is going to end Runeterra 1st? Winner get 10,000 RP & a kiss from the last champ they played.

My bet is Teemo.

Actually, Noxus is at all the other nation's throat (lol good luck invading Shurima now Noxus missed their chance)

Eh, I’m not worried.

The Watchers are not back. They made a decent crack in the True Ice at the bottom of the Howling Abyss. The Frostguard are handling it well, sending inspection teams to all True Ice sites, and no doubt will ask Lissandra to repair any damaged ones.

Targon is doing just fine. Their job is fighting the Void if it returns and, unless Leona is nutty enough to fight Diana with hungry maws scraping against the temple gates, they are perfectly ready to do it.

Demacia and Noxus are separated by countless border states, and Noxus has recently curtailed its foreign adventures. It would have to wage a lengthy campaign of battles and sieges, only to wage another, against a fresh, well-trained, and well-equipped army, fighting on its own territory for the survival of its state. And that’s if the Demacian don’t help the border states.

The World Runes are locked in Ryze’s vault in the most secure facility on Runeterra. He’s only one left to secure.

Aurelian Sol is a danger only in the long run, if the Targonians don’t notice the degradation of his crown or, simply, set him free.

The Freljord is in a brush war, which the Winter’s Claw lacks the supplies to escalate.

Remember that Taliyah will likely fight against Xerath, if not for Azir, and seems able to confront him alone in The Climb.

Demons have been running wild for all of Runeterra’s history.

The Void is only as dangerous as it’s allowed to be. Any substatial invasion would be detected quickly, and the cooperation of Targon with regional powers would lead to a swift answer.

Karthus is a problem only if he has enough corpses and the navy to move them.

Runeterra’s doing just fine, and will continue to do just fine unless something goes horribly wrong on a cataclysmic scale.

Riot doesnt want conflict to happen that is why it will always be the same old boring runeterra with a bunch of threats but no actual danger! Look Lore wise your right about all of them but and it would be extremely exciting for the watchers to return or even Mordekaiser but that is never happening.... Riot will never release the watchers because that would actively change the lore and it the fans would be overexcited instead they choose to keep everything stale,like always!

you sure you aren't talking about the current state of the game?

or should we add armor plating to runeterra too?

With any luck, the impending apocalypses will all cancel each other out.

Not the mention whatever the hell is happening under the waters.
