For the sake of diversity - Parenthood

Varus his lore was changed. He was, however, the only champion in the league who officially had a lover and a child.
The change just does not feel right at all and diversity has been killed for variety, instead of just introducing it in a new champion.

I think that we can agree that the drive of being a parent is a normal one and many of us can identify with having a loved one, as well as a kid. So why exactly do we not a champion who is a parent according to the lore despite already having over 100 heroes...

Correct me if I am wrong, but after this Varus lore rework, I can not think of any champion who has been confirmed in his / her lore to be a parent.

Edit: As another user has pointed out. Kassadin is a parent, not wrong at all but she got sacrificed by Malzahar to summon the void. He basically threw her into the void. Who do we now have expect Kass? Why is it so wron to be a parent in league and maybe have a normal kind of relationship with the still alive and there kid too

Good one and I am going, to be honest, that I completely forgot, that Malzahar sacrificed his daughter to summon the void. His daughter is also unfortunately lost and who do we have expect Kass?

I just don´t think that it is bad to be a parent in the league. We should have a bit more and also have one, who does have a rather normal relationship instead of that significant other being maybe dead

True, but they are also "teens" and maybe not what he is looking for.

Some are teens, but many are not. I don´t remember who it was from Riot who answered about the age of the champs in Askfm but the only champions to be under 21 are Lux and Annie.

Darius is probably his 40s. Camille, for example, is even in her 80s!

I'll help Morgana and Kayle to become mothers.

Sadly there seems to be a secret war on the traditional family in society. If we got anything new as a parent champion it would likely be a single mother just because that is one said of the narrative that gets pushed and accepted.

But yeah it would be nice, even if it was something as cliche as fighting to provide money for food I'd like that.

"Kids, pack your shit. Your deadbeat dad's coming over to pick you up for the weekend. And don't forget to bring your (unmarried)Step-Dad and me a beer before you go."

At least Riot let's allows people to escape and even play as a Gay Archer if they want to be...

"Traditional family", lol.

Does not have to be in a traditional family way even if traditions nowadays are still way more relevant than many people think. Can also be a single mother who feeds her kid, or a parent and child fighting together with magical powers. Really many possible options.
