BWAAAAAAAAAAAA-

No, this isn't a BWAH thread [Bitch, Whine And Hate].

I noticed that with recent champions, Riot's been leaning further in the direction of including... well, legends. Characters that may or may not actually exist in the story's world, and their background description is mythological. It started with Braum, and then you had Bard, Rek'Sai, Kalista, Tahm Kench, and now whatever the hell the new champion is, and there were hints of this with Mordekaiser, Thresh, Hecarim, Aatrox, Nocturne, Brand, Fiddlesticks, Ahri, Elise, Zyra, Lulu and Yorick.

It's a lot better than stealing champions from other worlds to fight battles for you. Kayle Morgana Nasus Renekton Malphite Taric

Anyone remember how old Master Yi is?

I don't like it, really. I think most of them really do need to be grounded in something close to reality for the mythological lores to hold their impact.

To be technical, Nasus and Renekton got worked back into the standard lore, rather than being otherworldly creatures, or galactic overlords or whatever else they were.
