Yasuo's Story

From all the lore in League of Legends, Yasuo's lore has to be the one I find the most interesting. It is clearly left open to debate but I think Yasuo's lore has a lot of potential to be a long story line in the LoL franchise. It's suggested that Riven killed his elder through what Yasuo says when she uses her ult, other abilities, etc. I really want to see Rito do something with this lore and turn it into a cool event like we saw in the bilgewater event where it completely changed the lore and had a character killed. Leave a comment with what you think.

If they do an Ionia event thing it might come up. They won't do a full-on lore event for an interaction between two champions.

Or hell, maybe they will. Who knows what narrative is trying to do right now.

There is one big hole in "Riven killed the Elder".

She doesn't actually use any wind techniques. Yes, one of them has "wind" in the name, but it's actually energy(Ki) wave.

Overall I think his story won't progress until they released at least one more champion who could be the potential killer. It does make the story much more interesting when there are 2 suspects.

I would love to see an Ionia themed event on the scale of Bilgewater. Yasuo is a pretty popular champion right now, so i'm sure other people wouldn't mind seeing him get some lore spotlight time along with other characters like Yi, Shen, Zed etc and non Ionians like Riven. Perhaps this hypothetical lore event could be split between Ionia and Noxus, building up the lore for both of those regions.

I think one of the interesting things about the "mystery" of who killed the elder Yasuo was tasked with guarding is in one of Yasuo's lines upon seeing Riven's wind slash.

"Who taught you that?!"

It's sort of implied that perhaps Riven could be the killer. All of her lore has her slogging through some pretty heavy violence in Ionia so there's a perfectly good chance that she DID kill the elder in question. But even Yasuo himself leaves it open. Where did Riven learn her wind technique? Was it self taught? Or did it come from another Noxian wind user who perpetrated the massacre that left Yasuo's reputation in ruin?

I think that's the perfect topic for some more big lore events, finished off by a new champion reveal. Also maybe a Bloodmoon Yasuo skin. If possible.
