Congrats, Riot. You finally released a black champion who's human, and seemed to have balanced him fairly well. So...why'd you botch the story?

Yeah, I get it that nothing sells an action hero like a sweet revenge plot but was it really necessary to fridge another woman in the name of that? Come on guys, this isn't mid-90's comics. We've grown past that kind of cheap storytelling.

Overall good, but gotta work on those plot transitions.

I had no idea using revenge as a theme for a character's background was bad storytelling.

Revenge isn't. Continuing a tradition of fridging nameless women, to motivate male protagonists, is poor storytelling.

Sir you must be mistaken. This is mobafire.com. If you'd like to get in contact with Riot you probably want to access them via www.riotgames.com. Under the contact info section there should be a player support section in which you can give your feedback
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!

to be fair the theme of "refrigerator women" is a really annoying trend (and kind of a cop-out) and i understand why OP is pissed

a League of Legends champion lore is really ****ty?!? well color me surprised

who would have known the creators of such things as an armadillo that magically gets spikes and fights to figure out why, and a caterpillar with legs following another champion for no reason would have such bad story telling
Thanks to TheNamelessBard for the signature

there are over 100 champions, each with Lore and back story to help the player get behind the motivations. the fact that The team botched one lore out of this many is a real testament to the story telling these writers are putting out.

yes I feel that Lucian's motivation betrays his mannerisms and how he acts as a whole. a rewrite of the lore can help fix this (like maybe meeting Vayne, giving him solace that he isn't alone in his hunt).

I was a little dissappointed in other lores in the past, mostly with rewrites like Shyvanna losing her dad. I liked it better that he disappeared, giving a feeling of hope that they would meet again. and Katarina getting her scar in some random fight rather than when she first met and fought Garen.

It is what it is though. I can't like everyting Riot does, but I still like them as a whole.
