Warwick update and Soraka Lore

So I'm a little upset on the update, and really confused Lore wise. In Soraka's lore she's the one who cursed WW into being a wolf, but in WW's lore it's like nah Singed worked on him. But this makes Soraka's lore irrelevant, the reason she's 'not as powerful as she was, was because after saving WW from a bait he lured into because of the dead wife incident, why does it seem like Riot is ignoring Soraka altogether now? If WW is getting updated, give Soraka mana healing back or something lol. Just a Soraka main here complaining, ignore me rito <3

One word. RETCON. I'm sure Soraka's lore will change at some point too.

In Soraka's current lore, Warwick had tracked her into giving up her immortality. He tried to kill her so he could obtain her heart and complete the potion his friend, Singed was making for him. He ends up drinking the potion anyway and that's what turns him into a wolf. (Of course the purpose of him trying to kill her was entirely in Warwick's old lore but that's beside the point). The one op is thinking of was the first and second rendition of their lore. What Soraka has currently is the third rendition, and that was changed long ago when she had a major rework.

Warwick and Soraka have both been tied very closely together through all iterations of their lore, and it feel really wrong for their lore to suddenly have such a huge divide. Especially considering the fact that they gave Singed some sort of lore update, as he was also a character hugely tied to Warwick. So please, I would love if we could get an update on Soraka's lore asap.

As yet Warwicks past is "dark and mysterious", so Soraka being involved in his life is still a possibility. I would like for him to have been the cunning and cruel manhunter – not just some mere cutthroat – who used his wits to deceive a celestial; and on the same page for Soraka to still be literally too good for this world. Whether she fell in love with the man Warwick pretended to be or just felt incredible pity for him, in the end her kindness proved to be her downfall, just like Warwicks cruelty for him.

Maybe Sorakas curse was more metaphorical and she damned him to be seen by the people like the monster he tried to hide. Not as literal monster, but as a bad person; potentially enough for Singed to (turn on his old friend and disciple and) be inspired to turn Warwick into a real beast.

I always liked the duality Warwick and Soraka represented together. Both pure kindness and cunning cruelty turned out to be their respective downfall and both Warwick and Soraka ended up transformed as a result of their mistake.

As always, we can't say for sure what the lore will have in store for us, so I won't judge Warwicks story until then. I just hope it doesn't turn out hollow; with or without Soraka.

I don't remember soraka cursing WW. In the lore WW tried to hunt soraka but failed, so he went back home and took the magic potion that turned him into a werewolf. Now I don't remember if Soraka cursed him to have bad luck or something, but I believe that it didn't happen.
