The one thing I don't understand about LoL is Yasuo's lore. He is my main champion, but his lore is such a mystery. There are a lot of theories saying who is actually the killer, but I don't know who the killer actually is. Can the community give me some of your ideas on Yasuo's lore?
: It's time for you to pay for what you did!
: I didn't kill the elder, I was too busy attacking a village.
: If it wasn't you, then who was it?!?
: How the hell should I know? He was already dead of a heart attack.
Meanwhile:
: What the hell am I being charge $300 for?
: That's between me and my client.

A lot of things point to Riven as the suspected killer because when she q's around the enemy yasuo, you can hear yasuo comment something like "Wait....That technique..." or "Those are some pretty swift strikes" and part of Riven's ult is the WIND SLASH which is connected to yasuo's elder since he was killed from a wind technique. Another theory is that Riot is trying to foreshadow a new champion. Those are my theories.
I think none of the actual Champions are the killer. The main suspect may be Riven, but I just think it would be too obvious.
Although there's a theory that Riven was the Noxian invader that killed Yasuo's elder, and that they have special interactions in-game like 'You cant run from your past riven, trust me, I've tried' or 'That wind technique.. Huh..'
I do not think that Riven is the elders killer for several reasons, I'm not going to go into full detail but in rivens lore it states that her longsword was given to her as a reward of being a higher-up in the Noxian military, and because she was able to wield such a giant sword that is twice her size, it states that the sword was infused with wind magic, and that is why she is able to use her ultimate 'windslash'.
She then later faked her death when singed turned on her, and her men during the Ionian invasion, as he was melting her men, she escaped and then, presumed dead, went to find a new life. She said she agrees with Noxus, but not the methods of how they're doing it, so it implies she is going to independently work on her own for the good of noxus, kind of like Talon.
When Yasuo's elder was killed, it was stated that he was killed with a wind technique, a technique that only one person has ever mastered in a whole generation, implying that wind techniques are hard and complicated skills to learn, master, and perform. Why would it be so easily accessible by a magic infused sword.
Additionally, Rivens sword was infused with wind magic, Yasuo's killer was killed with a wind technique, meaning that she couldn't of been the killer, as it was a technique that killed her, and Rivens sword is infused with wind magic.
That leaves the question about who actually killed Yasuo's elder? Is it an already made champion? Will it be a future champion in league? This theory really intrigues me in so many ways, there's also a bunch of other awesome league theories like 'Is zed nocturne?' or 'Is LeBlanc Jarvan IV?'
Man, lore really does interest me, anyways, that's my thoughts on that, peace!![slayer-jinx-catface]
its possible that riven killed the elder since she does know a wind technique.but then again he might have died to an assassin who also uses wind as a weapon think about it maybe riot could make an assassin ninja champion that uses wind.
Thing is, the sword was specially tailored to her and no one else. Why would the sword work for anyone else but her?
Boo yasuo Boo
Riven is basically the killer. Her ultimate after the first cast is called "Wind Slash" which is what was used to kill the elder, setting blame on poor Yasuo.
