Yes, I was aware they already are, but I though it's better to just list them all anyways.

I placed them there because their original lores are ridicilous, they just appear out of nowhere because magic. Those champs also need visual upgrades.

Malphite is a rock so it would fit to have him born in desert environment. Taric needs visual update badly and he is a rival of Malphite and friend of Skarner so it makes sense to put him there. Shurima is full of ancient forbidden magic, totally the best place to harbor Ryze.

Mount Targon is also really close to Shurima so they might throw them in too. It would be interesting to have spartans go against voidlings. Alistar's birthplace is also near Mount Targon. Riot might also integrate Icathia to Shurima too as Malzahar and Kassadin are from there and Vel'Koz is the one who destroyed Zilean's home.
