Direction of Kassadin’s New Lore

So, one of the last batches of short bio updates included Kassadin. He used to be a scholar who fell into the Void and allowed the Void into him so he could survive and fight to prevent the world’s end. His recent update is a man who’s daughter was taken by the Void (throwback to the JoJ, I learned) and he went to save her, only to be corrupted and running out of time as the corruption takes him.

So my question is, why change it and make him similar to the old Varus, just without him willigly taking the dark power? His lore, as with a few others, had little to do with the League of Legends and so did not need any real retconning. And since it is being changed, what bigger plans are there for him?

As I felt with some other lore changes, I don’t like where this is heading. I was drawn to this character who did what he had to in order to survive, and then committed himself to stopping the Void. Why do we not have more people dedicated to this outside the Aspects, and why retcon one of the few?

Now he’s...Void Liam Neeson? His daughter was taken and now his only purpose is to save her? Don’t get me wrong, I can understand that drive, but it’s such a huge change in dynamic for a character who’s previous lore did actually fit into a bigger narrative.

So what will Kassadin be now? An isolated story about him trying to free his daughter? Compelling, but not why I personnaly was drawn to him. So what will it be?

And for those who liked his previous lore, what drew you into liking him?

P.S. i’m not looking forward to the result of “Wait and See” again..
