What does Kench and Illaoi have in common?

You all did a really good job giving Illaoi a coherent religion in the limiting context of the voiceover! I like how the religion feels like something that really could have developed in an environment full of hostile sea monsters and shifting tides, where complacency is vulnerability.

One question regarding the voiceovers. It seems like Tahm Kench should certainly have a taunt for Illaoi. Of course, he came out first, but if at the point you all were working on his VO, it was known that Illaoi would be a Bilgewater priestess, why not record a couple taunts for her that would be activated when (or if, in case of very late-stage iceboxing) Illaoi is released? Or for Gangplank's rework — surely he should have lines for someone as significant to him as Illaoi? Something similar would have been great for Azir, emperor of Shurima, and Rek'sai, the terror of regions formerly part of the empire.

So if Katarina made a deal with Kench to get to garen...would that be unhealthy?

Well, one thing they have in common is i worked on both ;) And they are meant to show two sides of bilgewater's magic.

But Tahm is about unhealthy hungers, repetitive vices, and addictions. He's about not being able to control yourself.

Illaoi does have a view of good and evil-- it's just not in line with judeo-christian beliefs. She's not really a hedonist, as she believes even extreme pain should be endured if it leads you towards your new desires and growth. She's about change. Thus Illaoi doesn't care if you drink, gamble, and sleep around... but if that's all you want to do- then you're stagnating. -- and that's her view of sin.

One thing I am bothered with Illaoi is how little she seems to value life or basic human rights. Paraphrasing: "If I hate something, I destroy it. If I want something, I take it". What if that thing she dislikes is someone's lifework, or the expensive tool they need to feed their kids? If she sees a man being arrested unjustly would she just kill the arresters to set the person free, even if they didn't know and were just doing their job? And if she likes something that someone else needs to survive, or if she likes... someone that doesn't like her back, let's put it that way. Would she just take it? Take... them because they're weaker or can't "move" and "adapt" fast enough? And in the minigame that served as her visuak debut, did the men come to her to be tested, or did she use the aftermath of the Black Mist to go around "testing" people in a way that to anyone else would seem like ritualistic homicide?

and a lot, i mean a lot of rule 34

But there's only so much you can realistically do, isn't there? How can someone constantly be changing?
