I really love the Yasuo action we have been given lately, from figures to lore.

So I want to address a few things about the recent lore, not in a negative way, but feedback;

A) Yasuo's aloof character fits him well. There one minute, gone like the wind the next. Keep more of that about the character.

B) How the elder died needs to be told. They describe him in the passage as being able to turn the tides of the war in favor of Ionia, but he gets killed by a wind technique, which he is a master of? Seems off.

C) Why does Yasuo approach RIven? He is an outcast and wanted, but approaches a random person in the village?

D) Why did Yone want to kill Yasuo? He is the only one who accepted Yasuo, but then drops him and tries to kill him without wanting to talk? That doesn't fit the characters at all.

D) Please keep Yasuo's face similar to how it was in the cinematic. a young good looking Japanese man. In some of the art he looks 50+.

I'll have to reread the lore and check the next part, but this was just some quick thoughts.

Most if all suggestions are too late when it comes to being made. Especially for (I'm just assuming a 3 part) lore piece on Yasuo and Riven.

With that said, by the way it looks.

"What happened to the Elder"

That is the current court hearing. They still believe Yasuo is the cause, and Riven will most likely be portrayed as a co-conspirator.

Why does he approach Riven?

She is Noxian, and they are approaching her as well. For him, she is not the random stranger. He appears to know more of what's going on than Riven at the moment.

Why did Yone try to kill Yasuo?

Because Yasuo is considered guilty, and either Yone abandons everyone to join Yasuo to clear his seemingly undoubted guilt in blind faith and trust of his half-brother...or assume Yasuo is the murderer that caused the death of not only the elder but of SO MANY people in the village due to the elder's absence. Yone never abandoned Yasuo. To his understanding, Yasuo abandoned him.

About C)

Yasuo likely knows about Rivens wind technique and thats why he approached her,he likely hoped to get some information about her before the authorities take her away.

A.) I agree, makes me want to see more on how he taught Taliyah when she was still in Ionia.

B.) Since Riven did it, perhaps he wasn't expecting her to have a wind technique of her own, and i would imagine her technique is vastly different from any Ionian one.

C.) Well every Ionian in that village knows about Yasuo sure, but Riven isn't an Ionian. So he was probably curious about her. (Plus he seems to know it was her)

D.) HONOR! But seriously he thought along with everyone else that Yasuo was the killer. So, while he may not have wanted to hunt him down, he was bound by the honor of the school and the elders to hunt him down. Even in Yasuo's new comic entry on his Universe page, it says, "Trapped between love and duty, the men raised their weapons." Gives it a very somber tone. :(

D2.) YES! Please keep him younger, i mean he's not that old to begin with.

Agree with D2 a lot. In the cinematic Yasuo looks are blatantly asian eastern inspired but in some of his art he doesnt. It's cool seeing a champion look Japanese.
