How does each champion's gameplay fit in with their story in your opinion?

I'm a little biased but for me Katarina fits so well with her lore. She betrayed her orders and snuck into the enemy camp to kill their commander, but his death just rallied the enemy troops, and the second-in-command led a charge into her father's army encampment and cost them so many casualties.

In game her playstyle fits so well. The true mark of a Katarina player is when you're flanking behind the enemy team and your team is spam pinging:

You betray your team's orders: fall back, caution, caution, fall back, caution, danger, danger!

TRIPLE KILL

Enemies are mi- Enemies ar- Ene- En- Enemies are m- Enemies are missing????????????

Then your team is like "sweet lets fight!" and the fed Jax kills them 1v4 while you're recalling.

Most champions in game line up with how they are in the lore. If you look at, say, aurelion sol's lore he dashes through the sky like a shooting star (something like his E) If you look at Iverns lore, he creates brushes and also roots one of the hunters in place to talk to her Lot of the times champions have one or more abilities explained in their lore, which is nice.

Xerath
In lore: overpowered Nasus and Renekton 1v2 In game: dies to whatever manages to get close Although in the Taliyah/Sivir story he is close to in-game: people don't fight him, they scream, run, dodge whatever magic is falling from the sky and eventually either die or run away

Lux has a ton of offensive potential but uses her magic to protect people.

Evelynn's W reflect's everything about her lore. When hit with charm, the enemy walks to you hopelessly. Then you pounce.

Jhin's shots should have different visual effects, but only to the person playing him. Similarly, when he kills someone, it should leave something behind until they respawn as well, again only visible to the person playing him.
This is because, canonly, Jhin's bullets have many different effects. To him, blood becomes rose petals, smoke becomes butterflies, limbs turn gold. The body twists and contorts to fit his sadistic vision. But, in the game, we see none of that. We only get his lotus trap spawning when he kills someone. I'd love to see rose petals or butterflies when I shoot someone, and see a tree or something grow from their corpse.
Jhin's lotus traps are more like glorified bear traps, as was seen in Awaken.
I'm not sure if this was something they came up with for Awaken or if its always been canon, but I understand why this isn't in the game. Caitlyn and Jinx both have traps that root people in place, and having his traps be a slow instead help him stand out.
Jhin really shouldn't be able to run like he does in-game in that outfit.
Its a tight bodysuit, and the mass accelerator/armor is cumbersome. The mask is tight an covers everything besides his left eye. He can't breath, nor can he really see(especially if his vision was already shitty). Depending on how well adapted he is to having no depth perception, he's probably walking into shit /tripping/dizzy constantly. Trust me, I wore the mask for 2 days. Pain in the ass.
Not really gameplay related, but he should use his cane in his no boots walk animation.
He does use Whisper's barrel as a cane in the lore to "announce his presence," and I'm so sad he doesn't do this in-game.

Warwick is sorta makes sense in how his abilities are in his lore.

His passive is based on how Warwick regenerates his body which was shown in the story where Singed was turning Warwick into the beast.

His Q is literally just him biting which is what he does. His W is similar with him going savage but he should just go auto pilot and start attacking any living thing near him since he just goes on a rampage the moment he smells blood.

His E with the fear when he howls makes sense since everything fears Warwick making him somewhat of a boogeyman or something for criminals to fear and since they dont know his name hes referred to as the Howler.

His ult is just him jumping his which can be shown in the cinematic at the end of the video
