EDIT: Turns out Qiyana is not fit to rule at all. Ashe moves on to face the winner of tomorrow's contest. (34 to 11 votes)

~~ An energetic welcome to my friends~~

Good Morning NA, and Good Afternoon EU!

Just when I thought these polls were getting really close, the last one proved me wrong. I don't mind though, because it means Turmoil advances into the next round.

#####Two ways to rule the world, so similar at times

Today, we have Ashe and Qiyana fight against each other with their color stories. Both are young women wanting to lead their people, but how they try to accomplish it is vastly different. In the first story, Ashe, Warmother of the Avarosans, initiates their harvest festival and then visits the crowd, sharing food, drink, and tales of hunts past. Her resolve is tested when raiders from the Snow Followers arrive, but she walks The Harder Path. She must. In the second story, Qiyana visits her sister, the new ruler of Tikras. Of course, since she is only her sister, not Qiyana, she's not Fit to Rule. The next day, Tikras is found by the outlanders. What a shame.

Ashe, only because i hate Qiyana with a burning passion. I swear to god shes just a Bratty teenager who thinks that she can do better than her parents when it comes to ruling her country. She equtes natural talent in one area with being better than everyone else at another. Mark my words, if she ever gets control of the country, she will start a war with piltover, and then get smashed into the ground by hextech. Not to mention that Piltover has an aliance with Demacia, so she'd be even more screwed. Yep, she is another female champ who i absolutly despise. Join the club with MissFortune Camille Zoe Fiora Evelynn Akali. So yeah, Not the biggest fan of Ashe (More on Sejuani's side when it comes to the civil war) but my loathing of Qiyana Outweighs that.

Qiyana is an example of the rise of a dictator with an inflated ego

Before this contest, hadn't read ashe's story, and though Qiyana's story did a really good job as potraying her as a powerful brat. But damn, ashe's story conveys far more emotion than qiyana's. Ashe actually struggles with containing her emotion, and its honestly quite refreshing to see.

Qiyana's story isn't bad: its just Ashe's story is far better

Despite the fact that I'm impressed that Ashe is actually dressed better than normal I find the whole "I will be strong because I MUST BE STRONG" pretty overused I feel like despite how much hate Qiyana gets as a character the story does a better job of building her story and the story of Ixtal.
