Doesn't really make sense with his new lore, gotta get rid of it.
Really don't like this new direction, regardless of presentation. A lore update shouldn't utterly eradicate the old character. You tried that the last time with Trundle/Udyr, and people are still mad.
Baron Von Bangin29 votesHim grabbing holding his locket and looking up to the sky remembering better times was such beautiful touch of an idle animation.
Shame they gotta delete it.
Like they did Varus.
OurLestrade13 votesThere's been this awkward push to make everything link together in the new lore even at the expense of story. Them forcing the whole Darkin thing's been a gripe for a while, I've never really seen the reason why so many people want to know about the whole 5 Darkin thing when by doing that it just undermines the uniqueness of the first guy. Hell, new Varus is just a discount version of Kayn/Rhaast without the eye-rolling self awareness.
iLBGAMing8 votesI agree with the removal of the locket but I don't mind the direction of this tbh. Coming from a guy who mains him.
NakedGranny7 votesI think his new lore is much more compelling.
The old lore felt like such a tacky pulp trope that I've seen a million times before.
And Riot's roster does seriously need more diversity - and not just for political correctness points.
I have to wonder now about all those rumors since LeBlanc's release about her being trans...
FPS P1 xSolusGod4 votesOh god please no, NO! JUST NO!
NakedGranny2 votesWould she lie?
Lying is, like, ninety.... five percent of what she does.
Are you... certain?

Nintendo 3DS3 votesMaybe the locket belongs to Varus the darkin. Its a reminder of his race. Turns out Darkin were more civilised creatures than we thought, and this one is no different than "old, human" Varus. He misses his darkin family from centuries ago and the necklace is a memory of them.
I am hoping so so much. I refuse to let go old Varus honestly, erasing a whole character is wrong, plain and simple.
Arkhan3 votesACTUALLY!!!!
The Locket could be his sister? At the end of the Varus lore, Varus (the darkin) asked in the air, 'Sister, where are you?'
Female Darkin inbound. And it would tie it in pretty good.

A smart way to see it and would not make the locket completely irrelevant. Although I would be surprised if the Darkin´s could have normal/human emotional relationships
