Love in League of Legends' Storytelling

Dreamspitter·Nov 11, 2015·34 votes·5,904 views

How many couples are there in League of Legends, just counting champions? How many are there if you consider Champions & secondary characters? What do you want to see happen with these couples over the course of their stories?

#Confirmed x > (though it was only a one sided crush) x (Teased for ages but...will it go anywhere in a future lore event?) x (They're married but...could be political?) x > > (Love Triangle) x widowed x widowed

#Popular/Rumored

x (A number of people like this couple for some reason) x x (I mean, Vi affectionately calls her "cupcake", the two are partners there's innuendo here... heck it's basically official if GArena sales count.) x

Quinn x JarvanIV is vaguely implied, too. Evelynn x TwistedFate WAS a thing.

Quinn/J4 is more implied than Shyvana/J4 if I recall correctly.

kile147Nov 12, 20158 votes

I seem to remember it being Quinn > JarvanIV < Shyvana . I mean he's a prince so neither is really a good match politically.

I want more friend-shipping.

Braum & Lissandra : Friends on opposite sides of a war no-one but they remember.

Veigar & Lulu : Lonely together, friends forever.

Nautilus & Nami : I just like the idea of these two helping one another in their individual quests.

Bard & Kindred : I bet Magical Journey makes for some really exciting chases.

Heimerdinger & Ziggs : A weird inversion of Holmes and Watson.

Azir & Nasus : Nasus has been around for a long time while Azir has only recently been resurrected; he seems like the right guy to council the Emperor of the Sands through his grief.

In this thread you can see my comments that include there is no champion who you can say it is totally straight, gay or bi. Because Riot said they dont wanna announce champion's sexuality, but when it came up for ascendeds, who don't drink, eat, sleep, have generally unliving things and supernatural powers, probably they're asexual.

A Superb VillainNov 12, 20154 votes

I was not talking about anything sexual. Immortality does not preclude friendship. Nasus was an Ascendant well before Azir, and I believe his experiences could assist the Emperor in acclimating to his current state, not to mention explaining all the changes that had occurred during the millennia between Azir's death and resurrection.

We talk about love in this thread, that's why I understood you wrong. Sorry then.

Altough it's not a friendship, but rather simply boss and assistant, but it's still something

Rengar & Khazix

They LOVE to hate each other.

shouldn't the yordle love triangle be more like: Rumble > Tristana < Teemo

as teemo is implied to have a crush on tristana,but tristana is implied to have friendzoned both teemo and rumble.

To be fair, it was never implied that Teemo had a crush on her... or vice versa, those are rumors told by other yordles, not him.

If we compare the special interactions of Teemo, Rumble and Tristana (Including Legendary skins), we can see that Teemo has no special feelings for her... in other hand, its obvious that Rumble has a crush on Trist.

And about Trist... she knows about the crush of Rumble and seems like teasing him due that.

Okay I've got the exact lines now. When taunting Garen: "You live by a code that'll never let you get what you want. Let me take you to her." When taunting Katarina: "Don't starve your heart, child! Let me deliver you to him."

There is also Graves x Twisted Fate rumour if we're going to have homosexual relationships.

Spizzle9000Nov 12, 20157 votes

Ehhhhhh. I'm pretty sure they're both too cynical and badass for romance or real relationships. If anything I'd think Graves would be interested in the new champion, Illaoi. TF would probably prefer MF. Like, Twisted Fortune or Miss Fate? Every single time someone abbreviates their names to initials they're shipping them.

Lol what? What do you assume? Every gay person is femine? And for what Graves would be interested on Illaoi? Is that because he is bear type man? Dude, physical apperance is nothing to sexuality. A person who looks extremely manly can be gay as well as a femine dude can be crazy about women.

Also If I remember right again, they said they don't want to announce champion's sexuality truely. They can be bisexual, gay, or totally straight. There is no champion who talks about its sexuality, they don't give one single hint about it. So, Graves x Twisted Fate is possible.

Spizzle9000Nov 12, 20154 votes

What did I ever say about femininity?

Why Illaoi? Because they're both tough, rather fearless, and seem to enjoy fighting. Also Graves seems rather careless and headstrong, and I believe many of Illaoi's lines speak of relying on instinct, which Graves seems to do, rather than intellect. I didn't explain anything about why I figured that was more likely imo, but now I have. Happy?

I'm quite aware there are extremely manly men who are gay and rather feminine men who are straight. Again, when did I bring up masculinity or femininity? Some might call me rather feminine and I'm straight.

Of course they don't. There would be too much controversy and stuff. Plus they want people to be able to speculate.

Things that you said about Illaoi x Graves can be said for Gangplank x Graves too? Isn't? I dont think Graves is gay neither, just there is possibility that can be rumored for every champion, but it is higher for Graves than a lot champion.

There is also difference between being and looking extremely manly. Of course a man who just thinks about girls (manly thing) is not going to end on being gay.

Spizzle9000Nov 12, 20154 votes

Valid point, although I think the whole tying Graves to a cannon and trying to drown him might make it have a rocky start xD

Just like how Riot tied all of the Institute of War and League of Legends related lore to a cannon and sank it :'(

Edit: seriously though, I'm enjoying this conversation. It's intriguing, and unlike many on the boards, you aren't just calling me a "downie" or a "fegit" and you're actually being mature, sophisticated, and kind about this. Thank you. It is a breath of fresh air.
