When you can't trust even a Rioter...

When Kayn was released a thread was opened on Reddit where you could ask from Kayn's creators. Someone asked them if Kayn has a crush on Zed. One of them answered: "Yes" Simply yes. Without a smiley. Please if someone has the link or the screenshot send it, because I just can't find it... it was on the boards too...

And this is where the point of the topic begins... the community recieved this information well. http://i.imgur.com/1lxJp6p.jpg They were happy there is a gay champion who looks nothing like stereotipycal and his character is not about "being gay". This could have been a very good point! There are already a lot of fan art about Kayn and Zed. Like this: https://68.media.tumblr.com/13b3865c1c9db597ad246f97ddf9fb85/tumblr_osbtdthVTC1rvcde5o1_500.jpg

But... in a random post on the boards another Rioter admitted today that this person was just messing around... http://i.imgur.com/aEFfaen.jpg Source: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/OKt6ivtW-personality-types-and-new-champs-that-you-want-to-see-in-lol-comment-suggestions

If you are a Rioter please at least respect the players with being honest... And if you are being sarcastic at least write a smiley... Yes, we took this seriously because we respect Rioters and we believe their words! I am very disappointed...

I mean, as others have said, there's more than just romantic crushes. There are also things like adoration crushes and whatnot.

And besides, just because they said he's not into Zed doesn't automatically mean he's not gay. It's a valuable life lesson.

I think everyone at riot at this point has a completely different view on everything about this game, right down to the lore.

How do you know REAV3 wasn't messing around, but yeah it would help for them to indicate it when it isn't clearly a joke.

Kayn having a crush on Zed is a retcon we can all get behind imo
