@Riot: How often will you be using sex as a plot device?

Miss Fortune's had many lovers in her career, Ahri's a gumiho (so it's a given with her), there's no end to the rumors between Garen and Katarina, and it was even hinted that Illaoi probably slept with Gangplank at least once. As such, we know Riot's not afraid to get a bit raunchy when needed.

But will these "raunchy references" be more common in lore, or will they be rare? For instance, will Janna have a bit more promiscuity in her background, or is that too dirty?

No need for explicit lemon scenes, but some subtle innuendo will definitely suffice.

If anything, they seem to be toning down/removing what's already there.

"How could I love only one man? They break too easily." - Illaoi

? Really Ive read Miss Fortune's lore, and it doesn't say anything about her having lovers. And from Garen's lore it doesn't say they where lovers, just that Garen has kind of a crush on her, totally platonic

Any plot device is good as long as you make sure you don't overuse it. If sex is part of their character then it's ok but some times even that is overused to the point where you will get more aroused from watching something sick then this. just because some characters bares a lot of skin doesn't mean that they are more promiscuous. Nakedness ≠ hornyness. Personally = Hornyness. why. because even someone that is conservatively dressed who flirts a lot can be a total slut. I.E Cersei in Game of Thrones.

Well, She and Nidalee dated with Summoner Bob before the retcon.

Rather than using sex as a whole plot device, I'd like to see characters and relationships fleshed. However, if it fits the story, I hope Riot doesn't shy away from delving into such scenes. If their audience is mature enough to handle descriptions of someone's intestines being shot out by Graves, I think they're mature enough to deal with this themes of sex and sexuality.

Just to be clear, I don't mean smut, I mean developing actual relationship. Ex) If Riot wants to develop a romantic relationship between two characters (cough Diana/Leona) they shouldn't feel shy about fleshing it out so that we get a better understanding of the characters' essence.

Yeah I am fed up with all the "Lorbies" pushing their own assumptions onto Kat and Garen.

They didn't do it. They have no intention on doing it, and they should never do it!

No romance at all between those two, just a cautious respect of the efficiency at which their nemesis performs their tasks.

Do you guys ever consider anything besides romance and sex? MY GODS MAN ITS A GAME ABOUT KILLING!!! Can't we just love that?!?!
