What if LeBlanc killed the elder Yasuo was protecting?

Per the title.

LeBlanc doesn't have wind magic. But lying is, like, 95% of what she does. And she's presumably duped people before.

Kill the elder, replace it with a body that seems like it was killed by a wind technique. People blame Yasuo, Yasuo kills a lot of people to defend his honor, an organization of Ionians suffers heavy losses.

Sure there's the suggestion of Ao Shin, and Yasuo thinks Riven did it(despite her being in infantry and not really assassinating). But what about the simple answer of 'LeBlanc THE DECEIVER tricked everyone'?

Karma did it because the elder was molesting children. That's my head cannon anyway.

But why would she kill the elder? She wasn't apart of the war.

I dont think so. Replicating simple cuts, its easy. Replicating a technique that only a few people over valoran know? That is hard. If not impossible. Also, the body that was found was the elders and noone elses. And the elder did DIE from something, if she would kill the elder i think people would notice the diference of wounds.

What if Yasuo's just a lying arsewhole who actually killed him?

I don't care if it's true or not but it's what I chose to believe.

Honestly,I see little reason for Leblanc to do that. I mean why would she go to such great lenghts just to get yasuo accused?I doubt that Yasuo was so well known in Noxus that they needed some sort of scheme to get rid of him.

Hmm. Maybe. The elder could have had knowledge of the black rose and was killed for it, with the attack being a cover up. And let's frame Yasuo and boom nobody expects a thing

I find that it is a possibility. Going be the Riven theory, she could technically have done it, but she does not have relation to the wind, other then her ulti. So if you read up on her lore - "So exceptional was her passion that the High Command recognized her with a black stone rune sword forged and enchanted with Noxian sorcery." - it states that the Noxian High Command (Leblanc and Swain, could be presumed) presented her with the sword she uses. So, if Lb and Swain enchanted her sword, the amount of tomfoolery they could pull off is quite large.

Plottwist: LeBlanc IS the Elder.

Why shouldn't it be Riven?

Seems too convoluted. She had no way of knowing Yasuo's reactions. Hell, I'd be surprised if she even knew who Yasuo was. Especially for Leblanc, it seems too chancy. She's the kind of person that likes to maintain absolute control over what happens.

It would make sense it was LB. As she has killed many powerful people. Jarvan IV for example is really dead and you are playing as LB pretending to be Jarvan IV.

It was Riven. His elder was killed by a triple sword strike from a wind blade. That was why everyone thought it was him. But Yasuo knows who really did it.

Requiemsfire11/19/2016, 12:38:10 PM1 votes

What would the motivation be though for Leblanc to do that? I mean Yasuo isn't a high ranking political figure nor an asset, he has no real bearing on the war effort despite his heroics.
