Riot, not every champ has to be the embodiment of something that relates to them.

Zyra's place holder lore, states she's the "Wrath of Nature" instead of ancient plant that got a second chance at life. Honestly....why do most of your recent lore mentions a champion being the embodiment of their nation/culture/emotion. The fact that you refer to Kalista as the embodiment of vengeance kinda urks me. Kalista was human, and now she's a spector. Calling her that makes her seem like some sort of god or demigod.

Even if it's a few people in Zaun, why does Jinx have people believe that she's the physical embodiment of Zaun's wrath/revenge. This is seen with a few other champions too. And tbh, the trend is growing dull. It kinda gives me the feeling they aren't their own person any more. The moment some one gets determined with a strong sense of something, they become and avatar of it, instead of just being them.

I am inclined to think Evelynn is the embodiment of lust enacting it's wrath upon mortals for sinning.

Evelynn is a demon that feeds on the suffering of humans.

Kalista is a spirit, she’s kinda like a myth or maybe some sort of devil.

Jinx being any sort of embodiment is just something some people in Piltover believe.

Zyra is being upgraded, and we don’t know what her new origins will be so they may be the same as last time.

But Kalista was human....they don't simply go from spirit to demi god by some magic trick. Everything you said I know, but i feel it's uneeded to state they are the embodiment/avatar of something when they are clearly on a lower scale... And it was some Zaun people that believe that.

Thing is, Riot gives you like 3 different back stories based on what some people of Runeterra might think they stories are, Such as Jinx case. And leave it to the players to figure out. I just think the embodiment part is unnecessary, It makes them more than just mere Legends or folk lore.

Well it’s kinda Kalista’s whole niche. She was betrayed in life, and in i death she has transcended her humanity to provide eternal revenge.

I really don’t see what the issue is with any of these characters

I hope Zyra would become the incarnation of wrath itself, a demon that spreads its deadly vines and spines...

I think it's interesting, since she has the same lore scheme as Evelynn, "born of a sorcerous catastrophe".
