Lore personalities are really interesting

Like, some lore in game isn't the same is how a champ is seen in game.

For example, Irelia. Everyone kinda hates her in game, but in lore, she hates fighting, hates murder, and doesn't want to lead. Shes kinda being forced to lead by everyone else.

We have karma, who to those who don't know her lore is essentially the avatar, being the most violent reincarnation of karma.

We got Darius whose an orphan who grew up on the streets, and with grit and determination, went up through the ranks by sheer force, power, and willpower.... and was forced to kill his childhood friend/lover in service and loyalty to noxus.

We have Bard, who literally stops people from genociding other people.

Its interesting and fun

Uhm how does Bards VO differ from his personality lore? It's not like he talks in his lore at all anyway, he just appears out of nowhere, does something that will save the day eventually and then vanishes without a trace.

He never talks to anyone and his mind is completely alien to ours, just like he is ingame.

And in general I feel like there is a difference between "personality in the lore is different" and "the VO has to talk and mention everything about the character".

I mean none of darius quotes really contradict his lore and they are still pretty fitting, as Darius is a general of Noxus, who is loyal to Swain(even if they are equals in terms of political standing) and who wants to expand the noxian territory and make it a place where the strong can flourish. Just because he doesn't break out into a monologue about how he was an orphan or how he lost his loved one, doesn't mean that his personality is different.

Blitzcrank In the lore, this guy is a friendly every-day hero, trying to make Zaun as safe as possible for it's citizens. In the game, he is constantly talking about ending humanity and how he wants to crush your bones. Also, he is feared as the literal grab of death. He is the personification of doom, meanwhile has no ability whatsoever to aid his teammates, except dragging an enemy in certain death once in a whle.

the excessive rewriting just killed my interest.

Cries in Syndra's lack of defined personality

jinx mains would be in shambles if they actually read the lore.

I mean Darius didn't kill Quilletta, he did watch her die, but he killed his commanding officer because he was too much of a coward to get shit done.

It comes up on the last page of Blood of Noxus

Invetia killed Quilletta and Darius was just like "Wah why she have to die" "For Noxus" Darius "Ah shit you right guess Noxus>Love"

Honestly I really hope he gets a VO update with the same voice actor to better portray his state of mind and all the loss he's had to endure over the years

Lux too, in the game she looks dumb but her story is so deep.
