Big tiddy eldritch horror gf 😍 but for real, we really need new monster champs.

[@okidoxb4846]

as long as the main focus on their visuals is not being hot, it should be fine. Monsters especially Void monsters are hard to give continual lore development to bc they struggle to be more than base monsters (I have hope for Kha'zix becoming a mirror MHU insert and more Vel stories tho!) Its simply easier to deal with the void if its thru the mind of something that isn't 100% void. But since Malz has given himself over to the Void, and Kass is not impacted by the void rn due to his tools, (and Kai'sa...has issues) We need a proper void-related thing that can be a proper character. If the management team LETS the writers pull off a monster who is an actual character that would be great tho.

[@misterrhombus]

[@tuachixiong5232]

So I went and read the story to get the facts for myself, and here's what I think. 1) In the Frejlord, the Frejlordians, like Necrit said are most likely going to band together to fight the void. This is because Meir had the vision of the Old watchers, who initially went through the portal that Lissandra made and froze them there along with the rest of the Yetis, breaking out and continuing with what they were originally going to do, which is consume the Frejlord. 2) I think the new void champ might've been the thing responsible for the complete destrutcion of Icathia, as in that story, Icathia was entirely consumed when they released the void initially. One reason why it may not have been noticed is because those who go near the hole that was icathia are consumed by the visions of the Watchers and become void cultists. And after consuming Icathia there was nothing left for it to consume so it had no ability to be born yet, until the moment when Malzahar became consumed by the visions from the Watchers. He then became their strongest Zealot and continued its feast from where it left off. 3) If the void is set up to have its own event, and I'm pretty sure it's already in the process since the first void champion, the very first place that it would be happening would be in Shurima, and then moving on to Frejlord, at almost the exact time. I think this because in Vel Koz's story and bio, the Watchers where first thinking of consuming Runeterra from the Frejlord. They only moved on to other entry points, after Lissandra betrayed them, and froze some of them under the Hollowing Abyss. And in the Destruction of Icathia story, the Icathians opened a portal into the Void unleashing many of its horrors into Runeterra, which led to its destruction and consumption by the void. And of course, from the ghost shopkeeper in the Hollowing Abyss map, he gives out many lore bits about how some of the void creatures and watchers were able to get into the Frejlord, but due to there being a small number of them, were pushed down into the Abyss, where they supposedly died. But the frozen bodies of the other Watchers are still there, they are simply frozen and waiting. And although most skins don't really offer a lot in lore, the Frozen watcher skin from Vel Koz, has the little lore bit, that the watchers will eventually break out of their ice prision, find Lissandra, and attack her for what she'd done, as in Lissandra's biok she initially made a deal with the Watchers, only to betray them. EDIT: I went back to read Bard's stropy and now its just confirmed something to me. The Chimes that Bard collects have purpose more than just summoning meeps to him. It allows him to grow his cosmic power, so that he can push back the Void. In both Bard's bio and his new story, it drops little hints and lore bits about why Bard, a cosmic caretaker, came down to Runeterra. -One; Many cosmic objects found their way onto the planet, and Bard is returning them to their rightful places among the stars, as was shown in Bard's cinematic video. -Two; Bard noticed that there was a "music" that played with the population of the planet, but there was a slight corrupted note among the "world chorus" as pointed out in the Bard story. And the ones that noticed this corrupted note were the meeps, who are living manifestations of energy and expresses this enbodiment, through their "song". -Third; In the story, Bard sends the meeps out to collect "chimes" which, as told by the story teller, are to be used to stich up the cracks created by the "song" of the void. AKA, chimes are being used by Bard to fight against the corruption of the void. -Fourth; In Bard's bio, the Void, and in turn the Watchers, will eventually be able to force its way into Runeterra. And Bard will have to make the decision to fight with Runeterra, or maybe leave it to be consumed. After all, the Void isn't only fixed on Runeterra, as one last time in Bard's bio, "He can see a great conflict approaching-one fought not in any single realm, but in all." *EDIT:* Now I'm wondering fi the Void event will be before Morde's event, or after it. After all, Mordekaiser himself is preparing to invade Runeterra from the Afterlife, with his undead army of spirits, who have been consumed by his power over the dead. TLDR; I'm really excited about where Riot is planning to go with their lore and world.

[@Thraser999]

The voidling you mention that consumed Icathia might well have been Cho-gath imo...

I wonder if Malzahar is actually dead, and his body is just a vessel the void is using since they use words as emaciated and rigor mortis to describe him.

[@yakm9557]

I don't think he's dead because he can still see the future but the void completely controlling him I do see.

[@tuachixiong5232]

I think he may be decaying, or at least is slowly being consumed by the void. Like when his mind was consumed by the void, his body started the consumption process that the void typically does, but because he is overflowing with void energy, as he is *THE* void prophet, his decay/void consumption might be slowed. Idk. just my thoughts on it.

I based it on the ruined king games structure, Jax and Zilean work together, Zilean keeps the Void corruption at bay while Jax travels the world trying to find the strongest warriors. So it's like Jax is the main character and collects the strongest champions he can find and brings them back to Icathia. And along the way they encounter various Void champions and gain aid from Kassadin and Kai'sa as they try and stop Malzahar from strengthening the Void Rifts. My initial list of champs that Jax picks: Ekko (Zilean sees potential in Ekko) Tristana (The best Bandle Gunner) Tryndamere (He wants to go to Shurima to learn more about the Watchers and maybe find Aatrox) Leona (She wants to protect Targon since its next to Shurima, and look for Diana after Ruination) Taliyah (She wants to protect her home) Qiyana (Ixtal is super close to Icathia and figures this will grant her favor from her people) Sion (Swain sends Sion to protect Noxian colonizers in Shurima) Samira (Same reason as above) Shen (Senses the Void corruption and wants to cleanse it) Rumble (There because Tristana is there) Fiora (Only one that best Jax in a duel)

[@Ope-que]

Azir may join in the fray as icathia is his background.

[@nickolausanker4571]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Jax beat Fiora, but she was the only one that stood a chance against him in a duel

[@jackmartin3420]

@@nickolausanker4571 I don't know specifically, this was more of just preliminary ideas. Maybe for a fun interaction they keep score of who won rounds of dueling.

[@Pizzar0ni]

It was never implied that Fiora beat Jax or could even come close, Jax just stated that she wasnt a noob like the others he fought.

On the image you can actually see the shape referred to in the story multiple times and it kinda looks spider-y or like cho gath from the front , so maybe this is a tease of his VGU? Or maybe we get a void spider, which would make sense, as fart as we know, it will be a jungler, and multiple eyes have been mentioned in this story several times

I'm waiting for the reveal of this new void champion to somehow be wearing nothing but a bikini and is somehow Kai'sa's cousin or something

[@Patanegn]

Looking at that new art with Malzahar, I can't help but think that the sky kind of resembles a silhouette of some sort a humanoid raising his arms up as if yelling "Noooo!" at the sky. Also, some stars sort of look like braille or maybe some sort of code (I thought morse code at first, but I see no dashes). This could be giving clues as to who that next Void champ might be. Some of those dots look really deliberate and like they were added in later. Maybe if there is like puzzle solving community for League, they already noticed this.

[@nullkyanite1889]

I just really hope its a void brawler not another void assassin we already have enough of those

[@bartagame_3070]

We once had a Void Brawler **Sad Pre Rework Rek'Sai Noises**

[@AT7outof10]

I thought there was a twist, where Malz had future sight because the void gave it to him, and was so corruptive it spread that power to his past self. That might be a bit too trippy though.

[@dave2.077]

that would be pretty cool though. he can see the future because that reality is just everything the void has consumed in a different parallel universe but malz can connect with that destroyed information.

[@Sevenernine]

Maybe we'll see a malzahar rework with it. It's not that he's bad or anything, his kit just hasn't ever felt the same since htey reworked him. They said they wouldn't make him a minion mancer, and that's exactly what they did, more or less. There's a lot of cool mechanics he could have to bring him a little more in line with the modern play. The coolest thing I'd like to see on him is the ability to drag Q sort of like viktor, and literally treat each beam as its own damage instance, and if you land both on a target(s) maybe you get a slow or a stun, or the minions teleport to them or something. He used to be my main and I still love him as a champ, I just think he could be a little less binary.

[@marsimane259]

this story also possibly confirmed that shimmer is void originated. The thing about the eyes of the cultists glowing purple and their faces having purple vains poking outward or what it said :o

[@RedMonk66]

what if it's a reworked cho'gath lore? just a thought since it was mentioned it got bigger and bigger and that could "she" could be related to hm maybe?

Knowing how the Void works, and seeing that Malzahar mainly yeeted humans to the hole and is a "she" I wouldn't have much hope about the Champion monstrosity.

[@Waxotoo]

i had an idea for an queen bee/wasp for a new voidchampion...could be a midlaner or even a support(we didnt get a real support from the void),she could launch bees/wasp that follow the enemy and attach to them(they could be attacked before it there is a bit of counterplay) and then they could suck the life,apply toxine or even control the movement of the enemy for a second, it could even be what malzahar is been controlled by.
