**1.) Why is Varus called Varus but isn't totally a Darkin?
**
- Varus IS 100% Darkin... Are you paying attention? All that's really changed is that he is now vengeance incarnate instead of some sad daddy obsessed with revenge.
**2.) Why can Kayn be fully possessed by Rhaast, but is still called Kayn in game?
**
- Aatrox already won and has complete control and then Varus has mostly controlled his vessel, but not entirely... Kayn, however, is a special case. Raast has not even come close to gaining full control over Kayn. They are currently in a toggle for power and no victor is decided.
**3.) Why turn a straight man with a tragic story into 2 homosexuals? **
- First off, Varus was turned into a Darkin... The gays simply explain how the Darkin came to be reborn. No matter how you slice it, his old lore isn't nearly as cohesive or engaging as the update. If anything, I should be asking you what makes the old Varus stand out from anyone else affected by the Ionian war? In addition to that, the old lore has multiple domino effects that downplay other aspects of runeterra. It was, objectively, outdated.
**4.) Wouldn't they deserve their own story rather than hijacking (retconning) an existing one?
**
- There are two gay characters, but the story isn't really about them. It's about how this Darkin is reborn on Runetera and they show how much it really takes to really be considered a vessel suitable enough for a demon.
5.) Why is it Varus and not Vaarus?
6.) Again, I love that video, and I would love this lore, if it didn't erase Varus' lore.
- Countless champions have had lore changes... Janna went from a mage in Zaun to a demi goddess and Nautlis is now, basically, a lochness monster... Like, nobody complained about any of this. Varus got one patch of popularity and was basically forgotten since now... But now, everyone suddenly thinks old varus is better? Really? Why isn't anyone upset that this grief stricken man is a demonic Darkin that embodies vengeance? Why do they care more about the fact that he happened to take the essence of 2 gay men? Ask yourself that for a second.
**7.) Also, this means that either Varus will never look like the other Darkins or his Visual Update won't match this video.
**
- Who can say that for sure? It's highly likely that Varus will get a visual update...
