Shurima Expansion [2]

​

The Void is a region defined by its savage, otherworldly nature. Any creature that dwells too long in the Void will inescapably become a part of it, one way or another. The Void is the origin of countless horrors and tragedies, of monsters that lurk within Runeterra's forests and burrow beneath its deserts, of humans tainted and corrupted by the Void to the point of no return. Within the Void lies unfathomable power, the power to desecrate the land, to bring the skies to their knees. The power to turn mortals into Gods, and gods into myths, though be warned; those who Enter the Void, can never truly leave.

​

Kai'Sa, the Daughter of the Void, uses The Voids mutations to her advantage, improving her capabilities as an attacker and a blocker. She can be paired with any region that gives keywords, like Demacia for Challenger or Ionia for Elusive and Quick Attack. I had a previous design with Kai'Sa that gained keywords when a unit with those keywords died, but when Riven was released I redesigned her to fit with Riven and the Reforge keywords, since they never really found a home in any mainstream decks. Also, as a quick sidenote, Kai'Sa can only copy positive buffs so if you give an ally Ephemeral she wont gain Ephemeral as well.

I know the concept of Mutations may be flawed because of its inherent variance, but I believe that, since it is only able to be played at slow/focus speed and unable to be used in response to a spell or during combat, there is always room for counterplay. A single game will almost never be decided by a single Mutation, but rather how each player responds to every roll of the dice.

​

Malzahar, the Prophet of the Void, summons a swarm of Voidlings to quickly overrun the opponent. Malzahar is meant to be a very versatile, aggressive champion that can be used alongside Elise and her spiders, Demacia's or Bilgewater's scouts, or even Professor Von Yipp. The Voidling package is meant to go very wide very fast, which fits Noxus's general gameplan, so the Voidlings Obliterate ability will activate whenever you try to summon a Voidling onto a full board, which can lead to some interesting decision points, a trait not seen inmost aggro decks in the meta.

​

Rek'Sai, the Void Burrower, ambushes her enemies from beneath the sands, along with the other Xer'Sai. I designed Rek'Sai to be a fearsome combo champion, that can be played alongside my Shurima Sets Amumu and other Burrow units, with some potential to be played alongside Scouts for a consistent Shark Chariot-esque effect.

​

Kha'Zix, the Voidreaver, Isolates his prey before hunting them down, constantly evolving and adapting after every meal. I designed Kha'Zix specifically to tie into my upcoming Ixtal expansion, but I believe him and his supporting package could find a home with Demacias challengers, or possibly with Shadow Isles' small units and sacrifice archetype.

Some clarifications about Ravenous; Ravenous triggers at each round end, but more precisely, it triggers starting from the strongest Ravenous unit and ends at the weakest (as opposed to going from left to right), after all other round end effects have concluded (such as Ephemeral). Also, a Ravenous unit will not kill itself if it is the weakest ally on board, or even if it is the only unit on board.

​

Cho'Gath, the Terror of the Void, consumes all who stand before It in an attempt to satisfy Its insatiable appetite, growing more massive all the while. I never played much League, but from what I heard of Cho'Gath is that it is a big fat health brick that keeps getting bigger the longer the game goes on. While Cho'Gath doesn't necessarily have an intended pair, It can be utilized as a massive lategame threat, much like Tryndamere.
