Lissandra's story impact on rest of the Freljord Champions

So i was one of the people who were not in favor of the Lissandra changes, but that's just how i am, i have a hard time letting things go (I'm sorry Ryze). however i'm over it. so it's time to embrace the new changes.

One thing i noticed and it was mentioned by Riot as well is that many people forget, the events of the three sisters are now pre-retcon. that changes a few things. Ashe and Sejuani are no longer just descendants of Iceborn. they are both iceborn. and it seems like Iceborn itself is changed in some ways. it can be inherited from parents, most likely mother's side. the way i see it, Iceborns are rare but not as rare as they use to be. Something around 1 in 20 in winterclaw, and 1 in 5000 in Avarosan, and almost everyone in Frostguard!

However this raises number of questions about the sheer numbers of each clan. does this mean Avarosan have so many people over Winterclaw? or that Iceborns are simply rare among Avarosan?

Lissandra's story, alongside these changes, are most likely going to have a chain reaction in Sejuani and Ashe's lore. and i believe we are going to see heavy impact from Lissandra's story on Anivia as well. as an ancient and powerful Freljordian guardian it is unlikely, she is not aware of what happened in the past. that makes her part in Lissandra's plans very interesting.

So if you are a fan of Ashe and Sejuani, you better prepare yourself for possibly, massive changes in the story of these Ladies. one thing that is in critical need of clarification is Ashe's bow! what happened to Avarosa, makes the appearance of the bow in Ashe's hand questionable. and any further speculations from our side can only be based on her current lore which is bound to be changed. it is possible that Lissandra had something to do with it as she wants Ashe and Sej at each other's throat.
Unless the bow is no longer special and is just a regular true ice bow. nobody seen this bow before right?! nobody knows how it looks like! As we know, more Freljord and Iceborn stories are coming, in "different forms media" as stated by riot. so i look forward for a comic or another cinematic and such sooner or later. i just hope we do not see too many disappointed fans.

They take out old gold stuff that everybody liked , to prepare for some unknown void future stuff that is unsure to be good or not ... if the game goes down its the writers fault i swear

In a world where things like Watchers and A Sol exist I don't see how current Ashe and Sejuani fit in the "Champion" standards. I think you are right when you say that they will get some big changes, hopefully for the better.

Now that you mention the Avarosa's bow, I remembered that Swain has a quote when he collects Ashe's soul fragment: "She claimed it was the Frost Queens grave. They believed her" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaGaqTW6QPQ at 0:32), which possibly means that Riot has probably been planning for this for quite a while, and that most likely the bow Ashe wields is not Avarosa's.
