>>127487112>Fo real though, they could have exploited Zaun against Piltover instead, rather than trying to invade Ionia which is a continent away.ionia is huge and, judging from its lush forests, rich in resources like farmland
piltover is pretty much a tiny rock that they boop 3 times to get trade goods
no real point in exerting influence over it, they are already one of the few places that openly trades with them to begin with
and no real point in invading either, since the hexgates would shut down and cease to work without the very unique expertise required to run them, jayce would kill a hundred children before he lets the company die
so the status quo benefits them the most
