Let's discuss updating the lores of some other Noxians
What directions would you like to see Talon, Katarina, and Draven go?
What directions would you like to see Talon, Katarina, and Draven go?
: I want Talon, along with Katarina and Cassiopeia, to investigate the disappearance of General du Couteau and learn of covert plans to undermine Swain and the Black Rose. This would lead to the du Coueau family being targeted by Black Rose assassins and the beginning of a game of shadows between the Noxian champs.
: Kat's actually has a day job, so would be spending a lot of her time away from Noxus performing assassination missions. I look forward to her meeting Garen, because unlike some of the old-lore pairings (looking at you Ezreal) I think there is a lot of story potential for how these two characters would interact with each other.
I also have headcanon that Kat once infiltrated the Order of Shadows, to gather intelligence in preparation for the Ionian invasion. While undercover, she perfected her assassin skills training under Zed and Akali. Not sure if this is actually possibly with the lore timeline though.
: I want Draven to absolutely not care about anything at all, besides his own reputation. Lots of champs have complex stories, and I think it's important that there are a few simpler characters. Draven didn't need a secret agenda or a complicated motive to become a fan favourite character, so while it would be good to have more Draven lore, his story doesn't need to change much from what is already there.
If Riot gives a hint at Katarina's and Garen's relationship (which they might not. They didn't for Garen) then I'd like to see what she sees in him. I feel we mainly get his perspective.
Draven and Kata have plenty of personality and fans among the Riot team, so I'm sure their stories will be good.
Talon, on the other hand, is little more than the original edgelord/"Definitely Not Ezio" and I hope his character is explored further.
Talon's past more fleshed out and described. Was he just an orphan or maybe he ran away from home or maybe he has a family but likes killing people more so he only visits on Christmas and pays taxes or something. His relationship with Katarina, Cassiopeia, General Du Couteau and mostly Quinn. I want to learn more about General Du Couteau although I hope it doesn't encompass too much of Talon's stories unless Du Couteau is really important to Talon.
Also want to see more of Katarina's and Cassiopeia's childhood and how General Du Couteau was with them. It is weird how both Katarina's and Cassiopeia's stories don't mention the disappearance with General Du Couteau (I'm thinking this is just because no one wrote about it cause Rito stories was really bad back than) so I hope Riot really fills us in on what is happening.
Katarina herself seems like a pretty patriotic Noxian and likes Noxus and stuff due to her voice lines so I imagine with a lore update she will still be all Noxian. So I imagine she'll mostly be in the military and stuff like Darius and living up to her family name with her stabbing skills.
Quinn is my main but I took Talon as a second because I just like Quinn so much. I know pretty much everything about Quinn as I do know Talon and am very interested in his own stories. Mostly I just want to see what their relationship is about. If it's romantic I really don't care too much but it would be a thing I guess but not really and kinda weird and kinda lame. Because the sibling theory got kicked out I'm just waiting forever for reasons to why they're related.
As for Draven, Draaaaaaven. I see him as still a narcissicist and possible extremely popular with the higher class of Noxus because he is high class to himself. I think this would create an interesting dynamic with Darius because he doesn't like that. Draven would not defend his high class amigos if he had them (cause he is really only about himself) but if Darius imposed on his life style I'm not too sure. However I think there's a deep bond between the two because Darius was Draven's guardian for a long time. I don't remember when Darius went into military but yeah. It'd be interesting if Draven ended up being a sort of model for Noxus military like Kled except he is mostly all fabulous and stuff.
Oh, I have a lot wishes, which won't get fullfilled 'cause I'm a hypocrite.
The most important thing - I really need more Black Rose lore. Honest, I really wish that the BR is incredible big and inscrutable and basically controls all Noxus. It should be an underground organisation who has his spies and members all over Runeterra. Tbh, I have the headcanon, that the Black Rose shows big interest about the Order of Shadow.
An organisation who use leaders and states as chess pieces and has access to more black magic and important information than it should be even possible.
LeBlanc and Vladimir have heavy ties with the Black Rose, but I'm also curious about Swain releationship with them.
For Swain I wish to read about a master mind, who can turn every battle to his favor. Also, I NEED to know which kind of releationship he has with LeBlanc. I don't care if they are lovers, rivals and temporal allies, I have high hopes and expectations about their dynamic. For me, this both are the most important for the Noxus Update.
For Darius I hope they don't make him just Swain puppet, but that he is still a person who stands for the true Noxian ideal. Darius shouldn't be interested in power for himself, so he has no interest to rule Noxus. He helps Swain to take control over Noxus, 'cause he really believes he's the best man for the job. However, I could imagine he isn't happy with all things that Swain is doing...
For Katarina, Cassiopeia & Talon I really need more information about their family and most important General Du Couteau. Also, please, keep the Katarina/Garen romance as far as possible from me. It is just an awful ship. Talon's loyality should also only belong to the Du Couteau, not Noxus. Personally, I would enjoy if he is color text had some interaction with Quinn, however this won't happen and this is probably better anyway.
I don't care about Draven, I hate narcist, so no ideas that they can do with him.
