Any Platonic Relationships in the League?

Of course, we know some of the champs are romantically involved. Rumble has an unrequited crush on Tristana, RiotRansom is of the opinion that Jarvan and Quinn are a couple, and Lux and Ez have something going on between them.

But are there any champs who got a platonic relationship going? Anything that isn't strictly romantic, or even romantic at all? That sort of resonance between two people fascinates me, and I don't see it often enough I think in stories.

Galio and Poppy. Pantheon and Leona (Although there MAY be a romance there, there is also a supposed former one between Leona and Diana). The Kinkou Order - Shen, Akali, and Kennen. Zac and Twitch are also listed to be friends. Master Yi is Wukong's teacher. Tristana and Teemo. Braum acts as a friend to Tryndamere and Gragas.

Garen & JarvanIV are good friends Rammus & Blitzcrank are also known to be friends(though we don't have much info on that one) While & Caitlyn are partners,they also seem to be good friends. LeeSin & Udyr seem to be friends as lee sin helped udyr to control his spirits.

There are multiple others listed on the official site,but most of them currently don't have any lore behind them.

Ezreal and Taric, if they ever meet in this horrible post retcon wasteland. As platonic as can be.

Ahri and Wukong are probably Kindred spirits of sorts, and are friends by the fact no one else is like them, and both need support. I can see Wukong being Ahri's crazy brother

Blitzcrank X Orianna

Nautilus X Nami

Just two of my favorite personal pairings....

teemo and tristana?

What i gathered from a lot of sources is this.

Rumble Has a crush on Tristana But she does not respond to his advances.

Shyvana Has a crush on JarvanIV But He does not know that or notice that.

Garen With Lux Possible, because lux might have found new love after her being sent to the academy against her will and Garen helping her.

Ezreal Possibly has a crush on Lux As shown many times in splash arts and simmilar things.

Garen In love with Katarina Riot has showed this in our faces many times.

Leona Possibly has a relationship with Pantheon Friends from childhood possibly went deeper.

Ashe Is the wife of Tryndamere And while their marriage was a bit political i still think they feel something for eachother.

At least my opinion and some other people opinion.

personally, i think Sona and Teemo are friends....

i think she plays beautiful music to him out in the garden, and he just sits quietly and cries.... neither one of them speak about it

Nobody has mentioned this, but don't Evelynn and TwistedFate have matching skins. Is there something there?

Also, as for platonic friends, you have Amumu and Annie (pretty sure).

Aren't Ashe and Tryndamere married or something?

I'm inclined to believe teemo and trist are romantic. Also I don't believe trynd and ashe are purely political, also given the fact a rioter posted a while back confirming my suspicion in said topic. That + the facts that trynd is in her queen of hearts skin and their confirmed compatible... I don't think in any world they aren't romantically involved

Dragon root word in your name, yikes, need to bow away into another direction. Seriously, the power Dragons can throw, yikes again! Hope you are not the sort of Dragon to blow out all of the lights.?

OK though, I can carry item 3751

Game on! Will look out for you if I should see you.

I'm pretty sure the romantic interest between Tristana and Teemo was purely speculation due to them being the first Yordles to show up. They are friends, but I don't think there's any romance between them.

Lux and Ez have something going on between them.

Pantheon/Leona i think are just close friends.

What about Gnar ? Gnar and Lulu maybe?

Would Morgana make friends with Varus , simply for her to try and acquire the most magical items maybe many of the Champions own? I thought Morgana was a magic items collector, as also people could be an item in her collection of magic?

Strictly Platonic ones? Well I suppose JarvanIV and Shyvana have that kind of relationship, considering they're likely not romantically involved (even though I ship 'em) but still consider each other as friends. Katarina and Talon could maybe have something like this, but I feel like their relationship is more of a mutual respect more than any kind of endearing friendship.

Gah it's actually hard to discern because even within city states the bonds between champions aren't always the strongest. I guess Tristana and Teemo could be a platonic thing if there in fact isn't any romance involved, but I dunno.
