So i saw a lot of posts but none had a poll in it, so i said ''Yeah, why not, lets make a poll for this''.

Aside from that my thoughts on the matter are these. Varus new story is bad for 2 reasons:

  1. It completely changes the story of an old-school LoL character
  2. And most important: It tries to ''mess'' with kinda sensitive things just to draw attention and make the game more popular. And i believe this is wrong

Sadly the forums are like less than 1% of the playerbase so a poll here ends up meaning very little.

Regarding updating old lore: I figure it's their game, they can do that if they want. Varus's old lore felt pretty generic to me, to the point where I'm surprised that so many feel like it was something sacred and not to be altered. A badass loses his family and makes a deal with the devil to avenge them? That's pretty common stuff.

Regarding the gay angle: It's an update of the times, not "messing" with something "sensitive". It's okay to be gay, and the sooner games/shows/films etc. make it normal for some of their characters to be gay, the sooner real people can stop being bullied in school or forced to deny who they are. It holds positive value, and I really don't see a problem with it unless you're actively trying to avoid homosexuality in your life.

Plus, I really liked the video.

I made a poll!

Also I feel like you should have an option for people who are on the fence. Like, my answer to this poll of yours would actually be "sort of" because I had problems with some of the story and motivations that were stripped away from the lore when it got replaced by this new lore.

Objectively I like the new lore, but I'm disappointed that the ethical complexity was taken out of it.
