EDIT: Adaptation wins with 28 to 25 votes. #####~~ Death in 0.01 seconds wtf Rito~~

I didn't plan for it to turn out like this, but it's kinda neat today features the color stories of two different assassins. I'm sure you died to both (or all three?) of them already. Luckily, their lore is a lot more interesting than their counterplay. Specifically, I chose these stories because of their different POVs.

#####Will you get caught in the past or move into the future?

Today, we look at the color stories of Katarina and Kha'Zix. In the first story, Message on a Blade's Edge, we are allowed to look into Katarina's thoughts while she completes a mission for the Trifarix. Always calculating, considering different options, planning ahead but fighting in the moment. The second story, Adaptation, is told through the perspective of Rengar, who fights an otherworldly beast. While he stops to think about his past, what he did, what they did to him, it only gets stronger and evolves. It went forward, when he only looked back.

Here's the only story that we hear his words. Here's where Katarina brokes her promise. What happened Katarina? You'd do anything to regain his favor... What happened between Katarina? Why did you turn against him? Following his teachings, hearing his voice in your head... Just to throw them all away. What did Swain tell you? So many questions.

Du Couteau will be whole again. If it gets moving for once... and FOR ALL!

Oof this one's close.

My vote goes to Adaptation. I liked the whole "reality rejects them" thing on Voidborn. Don't have much to say, I liked both stories, they do their jobs as color stories... Tomorrow's gonna be a hard one :(

My son's story was so good, i hope it wins ! Kha'zix is bastard but he's MY bastard .

I went for Kat's because the story about her was from her perspective. I like having Voidborn content, but I was a little bummed that Kha'Zix's story was being told by someone who wasn't Kha'Zix. Vel'Koz got a phenomenal story recently where we briefly got to see how he thought. I was hoping for something similar with Kha'Zix.

Vote goes to the Katarina story because Yichao killed it <3

Katarina > Rengar + Khazix

I think that the other story has more on it, but I like Katarina too much to not vote for her.

We need more stories of her, Riot. [katarina-love]
