We are all horrible monsters and here is why:

So, I was thinking the other day, (see obsessing over league) and my brain wandered to dragon. This majestic beast of a buff farm spawns on the rift with the sole purpose of being slain. Again. And again. And again. It has no ability to communicate, does not attack unless attacked, and is anchored to one place on the rift.

So what? It's just a monster, who cares.

Is it? IS IT REALLY?

Given Shyvana's backstory we know for a fact that dragons on Runeterra are sentient. So what about "just a monster" then? I then realized that this leaves us with a cold reality: A sentient creature has been enslaved on the rift only to be killed and res'd repeatedly in the selfish pursuit of power. You monster. With any luck it was some sort of draconic war criminal and deserves this fate. In which case we have continued its torture until it's mind broke and it became feral. Either that or given the draconian nature of dragons, (deal with it) it could have been born "defective" and abandoned by other dragons, leading us to take advantage of it's weakness for our own gains.

Sleep tight kiddos!

In the old lore, the dragon wasnt really there it was just a summoned construct made from the essence of a dragon, like how Baron is actually just a small portion of the real Barons power channeled from a single scale.

In the new "lore" the champions just like to kill dragons and dragons just really like that one pit and keep coming to it because "lol why should story and gameplay interact?"

So what was Shyvana doing when she met Jarvan? From that story I wouldn't say the dragons of Runeterra are typically known for their kindness. I would actually say that it is far more typical for these dragons to be cruel to beings they see as "less" than themselves. Seeing as how Demacia hunts them down (as evidenced by Jarvan's hunting party) I would be willing to say these "majestic" creatures have a reputation for evil acts.

So yes, I would call the one on SR a monster, but not because of it's physical form. It and it's kin that are seen flying in the background of the new SR are quite likely worthy of a swift death.

If you think about it that way, lux was forced into the league, and she like every other champion fights and dies multiple times on the league daily. Idk how champions, especially ones like annie are able to handle this.
