Are there any champions you play purely because of their Lore?

I started out LOL playing and main Jax, even though I am god awful with him. I just love his lore, and I love his redacted lore, and I love his kit because it makes sense lore wise.

I'm also going to start playing Viktor, because that biography and story combo is awesome.

For me its Kled. If it werent for his mad ramblings and conversations with Skaarl I probably wouldnt play him.

Kindred

I just love the dialogue between Lamb and Wolf in game. Especially that story they tell when they die ig.

AurelionSol

As well, just beautiful voice lines. Riot did a great job in making Aurelion Sol who he is.

Kindred.

Holy s#@$, Kindred. Like, she's not the worst champion but she's been out of meta for a long time and it's really hard to make her effective.

But their lore is just... just beautiful. Every time Lamb tells Wolf that story about their origin, I just smile. I love their aesthetic, I love kiting camps, I love that once you hit 14 stacks you're basically a god, I love playing the grim reaper, I love how they play off of each other... Kindred is just great.

It's the main reason why I'm into Rengar.

I'm a sucker for brutal, primal hunters, especially ones who take trophies. I main an SV Hunter in WoW (So glad they made them melee), Farcry Primal is one of my favorite games, the Predator movies are some of my favorite of all time, etc.

Mine would be Swain. I definitely don't play Swain because of his gameplay; it's okay just there are others way more fun to play. No, it's actually due to the significance this character has should have on the lore. Sadly his current Bio is nothing much other than mysterious and riddled with plot holes, which are great for theorists but absolutely shit for continuity.

I want the fan theory that Swain is a puppet to his bird Beatrice to finally be proved or disproved.

Poppy. I use to only do Support/JG, but Poppy's "A Hero's Calling" comic stole my heart.

Her being considered support or Top-tier was just happened to have been a good bonus.

X_X But god. That first nerf had me lose every game until I realized I had no auto-reset. Lol

Kindred I wouldn't have even touched them if it wasn't for their lore and their vo

AurelionSol im really bad with him but his voice is just too good to not play on occasion, i got to lv 5 1st day he was out and did good but after the nerfs when he was 1st released i just progressively did worse on him

I'd say Vladimir, Aatrox, Diana, Yasuo, Zed, and Varus. So yes, most of my usual champions are because of that.

Ivern Got him to level 7 in like 2-3 days, back when he first came out and nearly everyone was complete garbage with him. Damn, I miss being called a god at a champion item 3070
