Rito, I'm REALLY missing the OLD lore, with CONTINUITY between the game and lore. Still, what you guys wrote is pretty awesome. Easily the best writing to come out of the story department!

"Oh, I understood you perfectly, but I don't think I agree about there being a problem. We're fully comfortable telling stories with our champions in ways that don't disturb gameplay. If we chose to resolve the Rengar / Kha'Zix conflict, even with one or both dying, I can imagine a number of methods we could use that wouldn't involve messing with which champions are available to pick in the game."

Certainly that quotation comes from the dark period between the death of the JoJ and today, but the idea of killing off a character while keeping them playable in the game is by no means a new one.
