A good example of Riot Logic and why Ionia won against Noxus
It's very simple, we've all seen how gamebreakingly overpowered and toxic Yasuo is, and considering his power on release... it's safe to say this is why Noxus lost its' war against Ionia and why Riot can't be trusted.
In Yasuos lore, it says.
> Once a brilliant pupil at a renowned Ionian sword school, Yasuo was the only student in a generation to master the legendary wind technique. Many believed he was destined to become a great hero. However, his fate was changed forever when Noxus invaded. Yasuo was charged with guarding an Ionian Elder, but, foolishly believing his blade alone could make the difference, left his post to join the fray. By the time he returned, the Elder had been slain.
TLDR:
> Yasuo was charged with guarding an Ionian Elder, but, foolishly believing his blade alone could make the difference, left his post to join the fray.
Riots poor balancing lost Noxus the war against Ionia. GG.
Also Ionia over-reacted, you'd think they'd be grateful.
