I wouldn't mind some more romance/flirting between characters

Even if it won't happen between my personal ships.

It looks like the story of this game, in terms of characters' relationships, is going on like the flirtatious/loving part doens't even exist if not for characters that have it because gameplay (Xayah and Rakan) or representation (Val and Kai while not even being champions). An exception to this is Lucian, I'm not putting in Trynda and Ashe because except the information of them being married there is nothing showing any side of their relationship (unless I missed some Lore, in which case I'd be glad of being shown).

This is also a product of a bigger issue that Rioters also talked about: "We don't even know which champions lived in the same period of time or have met" with due exceptions here too.

That said, I think that adding some romance/flirting (that doesn't have to end with the involved champions becoming a couple) outside of ingame taunts/jokes would be a plus.

Edit: I'm talking mostly about interactions outside the game, like in stories and Lore events.

Yeah I think so too, unless it becomes overwhelming and every character has a love interest.

ALSO, If love and sexuality can be observed and told, do it. But not every character needs to be Xayah and Rakan, as there are many relationship types. Some of them are far less romantic and much more friendly, some of them are complicated.

One type relationship becomes redundant.

Kat and Garen need some banter between each other, passive agressive flirtation.

Ahri naturally needs numerous flirt remarks towards numerous champions.

Urgot : mmmh, Let me smash?

Evelynn : Sucks teeth transitioning to a long uncertain sigh I don't know man, even I have a shred of morality.

Urgot: Please, I need sum fuk

I would love a creepy Chemtech augmented woman from Zaun fangirling over Urgot as one of his cult.

Swain and Irelia should make up.

I would simply like some of the earlier champs getting visual updates where needed, and basically every one of them getting audio updates.

I love playing as Poppy, Galio, etc., listening to everything they have to say on everything, and then I go back to someone else and... silence...

But maybe that's just me.

Hasn’t this been pretty steadily increasing for awhile? The lovebirds being the obvious example. But we also got Urgot flirting with Camille. Swain with Leblanc. Zoe with Ez. Ornn with his hammer.

TBH id like to see more of it. I think players really like the relationships behind characters because its gives a deeper personality to a champions lore. I think the roughest part for riot would implementing them in a way that isnt forced plus Riot would have LGBTQ champions or would at least like to as they have stated in interviews which can be tricky to implement in a way that isn't forced TBH the best example of how to do this properly would be like Blizzard did with Tracer where they didnt really make it a big deal it was just part of her character and there was no need for a "big reveal" or explanation. (mini rant oops) :3

I think they are trying with the newer champions to add that side to their characters more often. They said they don't really want to put existing characters in relationships i think they like leaving them to the imagination though they might add some in the lore updates to existing fan ships. But i wouldn't be surprised if more champions start showing up with this stuff added into their lore.

Thats all knowledge i have on stuff like this from riot atm.

Even out of the relationship side of stuff i would really love it if champions interacted with eachother more out of game and in their lore. Like for example Jinx Vi and Caitlyn All interact and have a story together. I think more things like this would be really fun.

I mean it would do no harm, but I think we are pretty well covered on that front already. Do Kata and Garen need ingame Voicelines ? Of course. Should Ez and Lux have some flirty banter? Would make sense. Do I need Quinn to comment on how Jarvan is totally ripped ? I mean....not really Do Akali and Shen need a romance ? no thanks Do I want to see Gragas drunkenly hit on Ashe ? hell no

Point is small little things like Illaoi and GP having had a thing, or the Garen/Kata relationship are fun, but you can make it weird or excessive really fast. I feel what we have right now is perfectly fine. If future champions make sense in that regard I hope they go for it and create a cool paring. But please dont overdo it.

They said it was a possibility that champs don't exist at the same time and it was only said by one Rioter
