Like come ON sesriously? Varus was always just that generic cliche bow man with a backstory of a good guy harnessing "dark" power to kill bad guys. This could literally be any shonen anime lmao.
SO the lore went from that to him being a demon that fused with 2 separate beings to CREATE Varus. That is so much more interesting, regardless if the two beings are gay or not.

Then this whole discussion about every lore change is irrelevant :3
redniwediS2 votesNot really. Writing quality, story elements and ideas, and the like can be described fairly objectively.
Vekkna1 votesAllow me to demonstrate:
Pretty much all of League's old lore is shallow, trite, and amateurish. The updated lore is generally an improvement across the board. That includes Varus.
redniwediS1 votesI wouldn't say across the board, but there have been a great many improvements.

Quepha3 votesNot pretending. A character who chose Duty over Family and then regrets his choice is a sad tale of emotional reality conflicting with romantic ideology.
