Please stop shipping Rengar with Nidalee.

So since Nidalee is my main, I obviously know her lore very well, but since I also have interest in lore itself, I know Rengars lore aswell. And, according to her lore, the Kiilash (Rengars tribe), killed her mother, so obviously she wants to defend her family from any threat especially him, as she is the leader after her mother died. Why would ANYONE be in love with someone whos family killed their mother? I might have gotten a few things wrong here considering Rengar grew up mostly withous his tribe but still, this shipping makes no sense to me. Plus Nidalee is a half cougar and Rengar is a, idk, I guess he's a Kiilash, not sure what exact species that is though. Anything that I said was false I will gladly allowe you to correct me on in the comments.

People can ship who they want to ship that is a fictional character and all ships are valid. If you don't like the ship block those shippers. Your opinion on why this shouldn't be ship is poorly supported.

People ship this because it has a Romeo/Juliet vibe or because it reeks of a potential redemption and personal growth on Rengar's part in the sense he is not his father and therefore he shouldn't have to pay for his mistakes.

A person is not their parent and you clearly have not seen how many victims of murdered families fall for the murders. It's a decent number of people to the point there are quite a few studies on this phenomenon.

Or you could just say that he's an asshole and isn't worthy of Nidalee. Simple is best sometimes.

People don't care for actual lore reasoning, they will ship for totally random reasons.

They just see "Nidalee turns into a cat.... Rengar is a cat.... obviously they love each other". Wouldn't be surprised if some people would start shipping Yuumi with Rengar, too, at some point.

People also ship stuff like Taric x Ezreal, Jhin x Jinx (disgusting), Caitlyn x Jayce (disgusting), Bitzcrank x Orianna (I actually like that one), Camille x Urgot, Warwick x Soraka and maaaaaaany more without any base on lore. They just ship what they feel like fits together.


Long story short: Ships are random, always have been, always will be. Let people enjoy this stuff, there is no way in hell this will actually lead to something.

Fan ships are cancer and usually the result of one single rich kid commissioning many artists to draw their ship to make it seem like it's a thing, just ignore them and hope Rito never puts them into the game.

Hmmm ok can I ship Shen and Akali? She left because they were on the rocks and went to find her own way, but Shen still misses her, and eventually destiny will bring them back together.

OF course, I'm just making all this up, but that's part of the fun of shipping right? :)
