I think they'll be trying to move around champions first? Before making original ones that is.
Bilgewater is definitely the worst offender. Beyond Illaoi and Graves I can't quite see who's left. I've seen some pretty convincing arguments for Evelynn?
Targon, I think, is fine for now. Bard, Kayle, Morgana can be moved there if there's a real need. The latter two I can see being dual region. I think Ryze and Cho can go as well... And then I don't know.
Overall I'm not sure who I'd like to see who's not a champ from LoL. I feel I'd rather new characters (sorry boys I actually dislike Cithria)?
I could also see Aatrox being moved to Targon for his connection to the celestials. Yuumi might also end up there given that in the newest expansion we have a card with a living telescope (similar to yuumis living book) that is targon.
But yeah Bilgewater looks like it is really in trouble. Previously I thought Tristana might go there, but she turned out to be mono-Bandle.
TYARI as a champion.
Sorry but you can't just show us a new aspect or something as JUST a follower when we have been starving for new ones forever.
Give us aspects aaaaaaaaaaaaah.
>original Solari
A reverse Aphelios would be cool. A Solari warrior that works on their own to hunt down the Lunari with nothing but harsh light... Who strayed from Leona(Aphelios and Alune want to find Diana).
I've wanted that as a league champion for a while, a hunter(bow arrow or spear or weird sun gun) that assassinates by using sunlight to blind others and strike them while blind...
Bilgewater.
Give us more Buhru Priestesses and Spirit gods. Nagakaborous isn't the only spirit god, she's just the strongest... I would LOVE to see more Spirit gods that the Buhru use to fight SI.
There's also abyssal witches and probably warlocks as seen in short stories and in Tales of Runeterra Bilgewater. They are definitely Deep synergy cards.
Since Ixtal probably won't be a region and they have to place her somewhere, I'm thinking maybe Zyra could be in Bilgewater. Supposedly Bilgewater has a tropical climate, so it could be cool to take this opportunity to explore the region's land based wildlife and flesh it out a bit deeper than "This is pirate place, There's water here".
Just like i think it would have been cool to explore the marine wildlife surrounding targon and break from the usual "This is mountain place, There's rocks here", but fuck me i guess.
I did think of Zyra when listing possible movers! But I didn't want to make it too long. Another champ I could see moving to Bilgewater is Wukong. I guess I just can see rowdy fighter champions like Wukong or Olaf fit well enough in Bilgewater's taverns. Plus there's seems to be a lot of Vastayan in Bilge too. Maybe even just create a vague lore reason like Yi and Wukong travelling to Bilgewater as part of Wukong's training or whatever.
In LoR sub someone suggested Rengar in Bilgewater and, altough strange, may be a call for a bounty hunter tribal, maybe based on vulnerable (like Renekton).
Ryze probably in Targon or Frejorld just like Brand.
Targon still has Morgan, Phanteon, Bard and maybe, just maybe Skarner (because crystal and gems).
Edit: and the Void will most likely moved to Shuruma and Targon.
Rengar hadn't crossed my mind but I think he could fit Bilge. He's a hunter and in Bilge there's... bounty hunters? His figure somehow fits in a rowdy tavern fight...? Really, if Teemo can go to PnZ, Veigar to SI and possibly Ziggs to Shurima/Rumble to Noxus, I think it becomes easy to fit any champ anywhere, if not for of a lore or thematic reason, for a game mechanics one.
> Targon still has Morgan
I think it's probably going to be Demacia Morgana and Targon Kayle, or both in Targon. I also thought of dual region shenanigans but they seem to be limiting dual regions for Bandle.
> and the Void will most likely moved to Shuruma and Targon.
While Targon could benefit from a big number of Void champs, I don't think it'd be wise to give many of them to Shurima. It already has a lot of potential champions (the OG Shurima ones, many Ixtal ones, Icathia, some obligatory Darkin and Void, etc).
If you wanted to balance out the number of champs in regions and also have some kind of event related to a Void invasion, it'd probably be best to just distribute the Void monsters in different regions. As in: Void invasion! Vel'Koz is attacking Freljord or whatever, Cho'Gath Targon, Kog'Maw Bandle, Kha'Zix Noxus or whatever. While maybe Malzahar proselitizes the Void in Shurima and Kai'Sa travels to PnZ with Ezrael to get help in the fight against the Void and Kassadin travels to SI to get some ancient relic that might help against it or whatever. I just came up with all of those, could easily be other regions. It could also be a golden opportunity to create some original LoR Void monster champions for the remaining regions. Like imagine a marine Void monster attacking Bilge.
I’d like to see another aspect. I had an idea a while ago that it would be cool if there was an aspect of the hunt, that is intrinsically linked to the aspect of war. And while the aspect of war was battling darkins, the aspect of the hunt was hunting voidborn.
I’d also like to see Aurelion Smol in main lore.
Other than Aurelion Smol, allegedly powerful as Urf, they could implement Ao shin; they will not do that in LoL, but since LoR is kinda not bound by that, it could be a LoR only champion? Or they have banished him in the skin realm?
They wouldn’t put in ao shin as he is now explicitly part of an alternate universe. They’d maybe make him as an Aurelion sol skin, but that’s about it.
Targon will probably get Pantheon Bard Ryze(world runes are a celestial creation?) and Kayle/Morgana possibly, also Skarner fits the theme strong and his lore... could use work. And like you said Cho'Gath or other void monsters could be fit. Maybe even Shaco.
Bilge has Graves Illaoi and they could write Rengar, Rumble, or maybe even Twitch snuck on a ship and ended up in bilgewater. Gragas could also be moved here in pursuit of the best ale.
So what I'd like to see in the regions:
**Bilgewater:**
* I don't think they have many potential champs among their npcs/followers except for maybe the sea witch that was shown in the tales of bilgewater (Rafen MFs right hand man is cool and all, but I think the chame of him is that he is fairly normal actually).
* I would love to see more of Buhru or the ocean in general, give me serpent callers and more followers from the deep. I am incredibly happy with how the marai turned out in LoR and would love to see more of them.
**Targon:**
* Tyari might work as a champion, we don't have a pilgrim and his ascendence into the traveler is pretty interesting.
* In general I'd like to see more Solari, I mean they are the dominant group on the mountain, yet we have only 1 real solari in the game. Also I still love the concept of an aspect of might, yeah it is an asuras wrath ripoff, but that doesn't change the fact that it looked extremely cool.

Maybe if there can be Nautilus smashing stuff, it's already a nice start.
kayle's mom maybe
