Gangplank "As unpredictable as he is brutal, the self-appointed reaver king known as Gangplank rules Bilgewater through a mix of fear, violence, and cunning. Where he goes, death and ruin follow, and such is his infamy and reputation that the merest sight of his black sails on the horizon causes panic among even the hardiest crew."


Graves "Malcolm Graves is a wanted man in every realm, city-state, and empire he has visited. Tough, strong-willed, and above all, relentless, through his life of crime he has amassed (then invariably lost) a small fortune."


Twisted Fate "Twisted Fate is an infamous card sharp and swindler who has gambled and charmed his way across much of the known world, earning the enmity and admiration of the rich and foolish alike. He rarely takes things seriously, greeting each day with a mocking smile and an insouciant swagger. In every possible way, Twisted Fate always has an ace up his sleeve."

I kinda wanna put a buffer here and be like "Guys we know these aren't permanent. We should've expected these. Those of you who didn't are silly." But I feel like everyone gets it now.

Interesting they decided to not mention the beef between TF and Graves, but I suppose the (then invariably lost) part is supposed to be the hook to make you ask "Well how did he lose it?"

If what Jaredan hinted at before actually happens,then we may finally see the new bio format he talked about.We'll likely know once the Bilgewater event happens later this month.

I sure hope so! At the very least the fact that Tahm Kench's champion page was put up the day he came out AND has fully champ relations section filled out means there must've been SOMETHING fixed with the tech issues, at least as far as I can see.

I think its because they wanted to focus on them individually.

The problem with champions mentioning their rivalry/friendships in their lores causes them to be defined by that other champion. Just look at Viktor and Jayce. Viktor is generally seen as his own character,as the machine herald,who wants to replace flesh with machines for his glorious evolution. Jayce on the other hand is generally seen as Viktors archenemy,he is mostly remembered as the dude who ran into viktors lab and wrecked his stuff,he isn't seen as his own character,but more as a side character of Viktors story.

Yeah Jayce, Graves have the problem of being built specifically as a rival to an already existing character, which burns them hard. You don't think about either of them without first thinking of Viktor and TF, which is something I'd imagine Riot wants to change. As they said they want a bunch of super heroes before they go and make the avengers or however that analogy went.

When I think of Jayce, even with lore in mind, I just think of that smug $#*^%#& with the hammer cannon. He doesn't really bring up associations with Viktor until I really start to think on him.

But yeah, Graves for me will always be that guy with the awesome shotgun that got boned by TF.

And now the official lore doesnt mention Graves' relationship with Twisted Fate.

Literally the most important aspect of his character isnt mentioned in the officisl lore.

I think that's the point, and the whole reason why they don't make new champion stuff relating to old champions. When we think of Graves we only think of him getting betrayed by TF. They want us to care more about Graves as a whole rather than him being a side-note in the life of TF.

To be fair, we also cared about his cigar.

They're still longer than I expected. I figured they'd look something like this.

Gangplank: Gangplank is a pirate who eats oranges. Graves: Graves is an outlaw with a gun. Twisted Fate: Twisted Fate was a stunt double for Gambit in the last X-men movie.

They are pathetic. But since they are short bios their shortness doesnt effect me. They are what they are, long lore now pls.

Also MF is somehow not on this list, or Fizz, or Nautilus. I may see those short bios for them as well, but Ill care more when actual longer lores pop up. These are nothing to be precise.
