Will there be any more "raunchy moments" in lore?

darkdill·Oct 12, 2014·7 votes·2,709 views

Remember when Sivir got busted for public drunkenness in Demacia or how Janna had several private photos of her leaked? (JoJ stuff, IIRC)

Are there any plans for more suggestive/pervy moments in lore, or is that too "unclassy"?

EDIT: For some context, I don't mean any actual sex between characters. I mean something like Fizz jumping off his troll-pole and landing face-first in Miss Fortune's cleavage. Or Tristana catching Teemo peeping at the ladies at a hot spring.

I'm not sure if this "TerraRising" guy is trolling or not... he is arguing that Ahri, a character that is well established as being highly sexualized, recognized as such by Riot themselves, is actually a pseudo mormon that does NOT have sex and instead attempts to convince people with pamphlets and objective philosophy....

This isn't even mentioning the fact that Ahri's entire schtick has always been that she takes it like a champ (Voice, dialogue, lore, etc.) Yep, TerraRising is a troll (or a very unintelligent individual)

Personally id rather them not. Champions are warriors who fight for a cause. I want to know their struggles to achieve said cause etc. I don't want to know why a customer only gave janna 2.00 a minute or why Gragas got drunk at a bar and punched a guy, this isnt Guiding LIght or some freaking soap opera thats been on television for the past 30 years. Leave the pointless drama and love stuff out of it. Especially these days, id rather just not know.

I dont think you understand. I want to know their struggles, the effects of their actions, why blank hates blank , who caused what, why does ___ want this and what do they gain from it etc.

I find this discussion a bit pointless, it's like asking if Disney would ever make a movie of the first night of the honeymoon of Cinderella. I don't mind at all "raunchyness", but League of Legends is teen rated, we always knew, you can't expect them to go past certain lines. At most we will get what we got up until now, some champions being more flirty than others, but I would expect no more than this. To be honest, the recent trend seems to be a desexualization of the content.

Besides, I think TerraRising has made a good point with his/her analysis.

It boils down to how Narrative wants to portray Ahri, or any other female champion, in the game's story. Do they place more value in the half-fox/half-demon who turns more human as she seduces and eats more human men or do they value the seductive half-demon assassin that can destroy you with a single blown kiss?

Surely some of Ahri's escapades end up hilariously sexy, right?

Actually, the real question would be "Why does Riot's Narrative team need to create a softcore porn story about Ahri?" If that's the sort of story you want, go read some fan fiction.

Because Ahri was presented as a being who had sex and ended up killing people. So thus, they see some sexcapades abound with her. will they specifically be sexy? Nah. Will some be? Yep.

sigh Where in Ahri's background does it say she had sex with her victims before killing and consuming their "life essences?"

I'll answer that: The background lore for Ahri merely says that she "seduced" her victims. That doesn't necessarily mean that she went all the way with Helmet Bro, et al. "Seduce" could also mean that she lowered their defenses with her body and her abilities before killing and absorbing their souls.

For instance, you can be "seduced" into lowering your guard and leaving a club with a hot girl (or guy if that's what you're into) before getting mugged by the seducer's crew. You got "seduced" and got no fun out of it.

darkdillOct 12, 20143 votes

And seducing someone doesn't involve being sexy... how?

TerraRisingOct 12, 20143 votes

That's only one way of seducing someone. One can also be seduced with convincing words (from a politician) or with the promise of a reward (money, power, food, etc.) for betraying a trust.

The reverse question is "Can you be 'sexy' without actually having sex with someone?" If you've ever been enticed by an ad with a good looking person or stared at an attractive person walking down a street, you know the answer is "yes."

darkdillOct 12, 20143 votes

So wait, Ahri seduces people with sales pitches and not her impossibly low neckline?

And BTW, if you're trying to just say "STFU", do so already. Stop beating around the bush.

TerraRisingOct 12, 20144 votes

It's possible. It's also possible that she can appear to some Helmet Bro walking near a forest, run away while the horny guy chases her, then she pounces and kills the dude when he's exhausted. You know, like some animals (or assassins) do.

The point is that you seem to be hung up on the "sex" bit and you want Narrative to confirm it for you. You'd honestly be better off expecting Riot to make an Evelynn story that involves her dancing a horizontal tango with one of her victims than getting one about Ahri (Not that the Evelynn story will be happening either.)

And BTW, if you're trying to just say "STFU", do so already. Stop beating around the bush.

It's not for me to say that. Also, I'm trying to see how determined you are with this whole "Rito must make Ahri pr0n for me" notion. If you want to stop responding to me, that's on you.

Quote from LolWiki and confirmed in client:

However, though she appeared human, she knew that in truth the transformation was incomplete. A cunning creature, she adapted herself to the customs of human society and used her profound gift of beauty to attract unsuspecting men. She could consume their life essences when they were under the spell of her seductive charms.** Feeding on their desires brought her closer to her dream, but as she took more lives, a strange sense of regret began to well within her

If you're going to tell me that it didn't involve sex at some point in time, then I have nothing else to say. Can seduced not necessarily involve sex? Sure. I agree with that.

But if you honestly think she seduces them to a room and consumed their life essences before sex every. Single. Time. Then honestly I will concede you are more stubborn then me, and I'm too stubborn to ever admit that normally.

darkdillOct 12, 20142 votes

This. Ahri's definitely gotten laid at some point. Riot doesn't need to write any R-rated material, but perhaps they can write the occasional boob joke. XD

GenoXxOct 12, 20142 votes

For the sake of little kids playing this game, im sure Riot is careful to not hint any sexual activity. Ahri never had sex with any one. I would deduce this for u but, I would feel like I am arguing with kids. Only thing Ahri did was, hang by some dark alley, throw her charm spell, her prey would follow her, then she would take his life essence. How do you possibly think that ahri had sex with anyone while they were under the spell of her seductive charms? You are just adding the possibility, the truth is she didn't and Terra is right.

TerraRisingOct 12, 20144 votes

The way you and the Yousosmart were acting, you both seem to be under the notion that full on sex was the only way Ahri could get her "life essences." I was trying to demonstrate otherwise.

However, the point of the original post was to ask if there would be any official "naughty" stories involving their female champions. Quote:

Are there any plans for more suggestive/pervy moments in lore, or is that too "unclassy"?

If you two think Riot is going to release an official story that shows Ahri fully seducing a victim (lucky Helmet Bro) to the point of sex before killing them, you guys are dreaming.

That sort of thing, when it reaches the conservative parents, conservative media and politically driven religious figures, would undo all the good Riot's been trying to do over the past five years. As the biggest game in the world, this makes them the prime target for political nonsense that other companies just don't have to worry about.

League is in a bad enough position with some of their champs. Eve, Akali, Katarina, Caitlyn, Zyra, Gragas, Graves, etc. They all exhibit traits (questionable behavior, bad habits, really inappropriate attire choices, etc) that make conservatives (and liberals to some extent) go apes###. Not to mention skins like Executioner Mundo, who is clad in what looks like S&M gear.

Add to all that an official story of their fox-demon screwing her victims before absorbing their souls/life essences and you'd have no end in the trouble Riot would get from both sides of the political spectrum. It also wouldn't matter that a character like Mad Moxxi in Borderlands has been with more men and women than a nerd convention. Since League is the world's biggest game, they're going to be the target.

Also of importance: There are a significant number of League players who are under the age of 18. Even if the majority of those player's parents don't care about mplied sex involving the game's champions, they certainly aren't going to defend Riot when the s### hits the fan.

And they would invite all this trouble on themselves to satisfy the fantasies of a handful of lore fans? You guys are dreaming.

But if you honestly think she seduces them to a room and consumed their life essences before sex every. Single. Time. Then honestly I will concede you are more stubborn then me, and I'm too stubborn to ever admit that normally.

Like I said earlier: If you want a story where Ahri fully seduces a victim before killing and absorbing their life essences, you can go to the fan fiction section. There won't be an official story like that from Riot, ever.

Also, I'm still around after three years of bulls### from Narrative. I'm pretty stubborn, myself.

You break the lore. Its already been confirmed that Ahri is developing morality and a consciousness so she doesn't do that anymore. She doesn't. Period. Thats why she went to the IoW....

The one opening I can see for your foxy sexy time is that the Institute, which promised Ahri humanity in exchange for her involvement with the league, is now poof-gone.

But.

Its much truer to Ahri's character that she could just begin a quest seeking out mages in Runeterra who could provide her with an alternative solution. If in the previous lore she sacrificed her privacy and many other freedoms in order to achieve true humanity without stealing souls, journeying around Valoran seems like a much better deal. Especially now that the champions are supposed to be wandering badasses, it all makes sense.

So yeah, I could see some softcore, but come on its already out there, just not official, I'd say stick to that. I'm afraid to say I can't see Ahri indulge in any raunchy activities....

....But that's just Ahri. There are many more couples who might develop as the LoL storyline grows (Which I expect it to do). If its raunchy or not, thats up to the authors. Its possible, but don't count on it.

CriomhthannOct 14, 20141 votes

There is some commentary on Ahri being made, but I don't think many of the people commenting are familiar with her lore.

Technically speaking, Ahri's lore only states that she used her (not by any means, insignificant) attractiveness as a lure, but doesn't state that she fucked any person that she lured.

She was interested in their spirits or life forces, not their dingers. She didn't kill people by having sex with them either (it would inappropriate, though interesting, to see how that translated to her combat prowess), she made them believe that they were going to get lucky and then killed them when they were alone using her other spells.

It's not incorrect to say that she stopped doing so according to old lore. Her entire motivation for going to the IoW was that her transformation also gave her a more human sense of morality, and seducing and killing people was starting to take its toll.

The more people she killed, the more human she became. The more human she became, the more her human sense of morality grew. The more her human sense of morality grew, the more horrifying it became to kill people.

She went to the IoW and joined the League under the promise that they would discover a way to complete her transformation without causing more harm (and thus, offending her new found sense of morality).

Of course, since the Old Lore is no longer Lore, she might as well be Garen's great aunt, twice removed. Until the lore team gets its shit together, pretty much anything goes.
