@Riot Will we get anything new about Darkins in the near future?

With the bilgewater event being over, I thought if we would get something new about the Darkins, maybe the next champ having something to do with that. So is there anything about the Darkins in sight in the near future?

EDIT: Apparently someone already made a post about Darkins a day ago, but I will still ask maybe for a Rioter to answer.

A less cringeworthy name would be good.

I hope I'm not the only one tired of seeing the word cringe

Actually, I think you might be. Who is annoyed by the word cringe? It's not even that commonly used. This is like Eminem being annoyed by the word "predominantly". But alright, just for you: Pretentious, silly, stupid, facepalm-inducing, nauseating....pick one you like, I just went with the one whose meaning most properly conveyed my emotion.

Seriously. 'Darkin' sounds like something I made up when I was ten.

I know, right? All that's missing is that Darkin Deathknights with a dreadful, dark destiny and the title "Darth" existed and we could hire Rob Liefeld to do the artwork.

Azir was released in the Shurima thingy. Tahm Kench came before the Bilgewater event and he is somewhat known/important there.

Soo, with the "Juggernaut updates" I'd say the next champion is one (juggernaut), and yes it could be a Darkin.

Juggernaut updates aren't a lore event like Shurima or Bilgewater, though. You're definitely reaching here

I agree. Darkin is probably one of the worst fantasy names I've seen since the evil clone of Luke Skywalker being named Luuke.

Next champ is an ADC Darkin relating to Varus. (Gave Varus his bow)

Darkins are actually weapons. Like the actual weapons. (Aatrox's sword is aatrox.) They find worthy people and slowly turn them into their new host when their current host is nearing it's limit. (Varus and Trynda). Uhhh, what else do you need to know?

Um what. Next champ is named Rah'Tuul. (Unless pushed back like Dragon) He's an ADC and is the one who gave Varus his bow. This isn't mentioned in a video that's a year old? Also he never says anything about the Darkins being the actual weapons.. D-did you read my comment?

Next champ is named Rah'Tuul. (Unless pushed back like Dragon) --> That was fake, that statement already like 3 months old.

I'm talking about these two videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_bM_xrNAh0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ75ChovsJM

In the Darkin video he says (at 2:25) that th Darkins may actually be spirits living inside the weapons and possessing the wielders of those weapons.

sooo, u do know that darkin doesn't exist anymore, and that's beacus no more intitute of war, and as well no more league univers. So they are not called darkin anymore, they are nothing but creatures

You realize his lore was never tied to the League or the Institute, right? He's a being who shows up and turns the tides of war simply by showing up and choosing a side. No mention of the no longer cannon world. Sure, Riot could change it, but it's fine as is.
