What I hope to see in the Noxus LU for each character

https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/e9/Noxus_Crest.png/revision/latest?cb=20161117055949 Now that Swain has since been confirmed to be the next VGU after Evelynn, many speculate and predict on every aspect they hope to see in his vgu.

I however am more curious to see the broader perspective of swains vgu: the great noxian lore update.

As we all guessed( and correctly so) that Warwick and Galio would herald the updates of Zaun and Demacia respectively, it would not be a BIG assumption to make that swain will bring about the update of noxus. I mean come on he's the bloody grand general for heavens sake, if that's not a good headway then I don't know what is

So Continuing with the trend of the demacian update, With at least 6 champions ( excl swain) chosen that are the most noxian.

Darius: I hope to see Darius being a major representation of Noxus ideals and a true believer of the 'noxian dream' however as with Noxus, Darius may see himself unknowingly loosing site of his strong ideals and trying to hide his doubts that breaking away at his seemingly unshakable presence

Draven: in all honesty I don't want much change in dravens character. His extreme narcissism and attention seeking has always made him hilarious. Sure writers can go all psychological and say the attention seeking is to hide a lonely and afraid individual... yada yada yada but all in all he must keep the aspects that we all know and love about DRAVEN

Katarina: I can not say for sure what I want more out of her besides a polishing up and fleshing out of her current lore and the narrative team getting rid of the only plot point people seem to interested in ( 👎🏿 KatarinaxGaren)

Talon: it will be tough giving talon good distinguishable plot from Kat since she is A) likely to be more decorated assassin, B) also seeking answers on her fathers whereabouts but maybe his past can be more deeply looked at.

Vladimir: I really hope for a very dark , terrible and detailed tale for this champion even compared to the 100 other champions with dark mysterious tales. The hemomancer must make my blood curdle 😱

Leblanc: her lore along swains will undoubtedly shrouded in mystery with deep ties the black rose. I expect to see her to be deeply involved in the organizations schemes by pulling the strings of various key figures within and outside of Noxus. The deceiver forever shrouded

Lastly from Swain I just what 4 things

  1. Why the Cane
  2. What's Up with the bird
  3. Please keep that Darth sidious theme ( deceptively old and frail but unbelievable powerful)
  4. more details on his connection with the vastaya

I don't remember where, but it's been said that Katarina 's lore will focus more on her family. As a contrast to Darius, I'd like her lore to focus on living up to a legacy, rather than building one; Darius is very much the bottom-up ideal for Noxus, but Kat could represent the top-down (for lack of a better term coming to me. Her lore before the Institute was retconned wouldn't need to be altered much; she made a mistake that shamed her but made up for it quickly.

As for Garen x Katarina , I don't want either of them to START with that connection; I would like to see them develop one over the course of a few stories. I realize this pairing is a little controversial, but it's been hinted at in so many places throughout the lore (even post-retcon) that I feel it's gonna be a thing.

Draven 's lore might need to cover his relationship with Darius or the fact that Urgot was the executioner before him, but Draven's personality needs no updates.

Talon 's actually in a very interesting position; he's the only one of the major Noxus champions (unless I miss my mark) that is a willing servant. Darius, Draven, Cassiopeia, Swain, Leblanc... we have a ton of characters who are independents trying to make their own way in Noxus. A lore update that covers an entire faction should cover as many facets of that society as possible. This could be a chance to look at how a servant of a great house would see the noble family he's attached to, and the city he lives in. It's perfectly possible that Talon only cares about Noxus insofar as it helps House DeCouteau.

Vladimir ... Honestly I never gave 2 s$#@s about this guy. Do whatever you want with him.

Leblanc and Swain have the potential to play off of each other like no other characters in the lore. I always got the impression that each was trying to outwit the other at all times and both were fully aware of it. Like two chessmasters, they enjoy matching wits but both know one of them is going to take the king eventually. Having two clever beings who build their identities on tactics and deceit is ripe for possibilities for development. They'd make jabs at each other, but it'd be clear they respect each other more than any of "those young whippersnappers who don't know how good they got it."

I only disagree with one thing. I think they should flesh out the relationship between Kat and Garen. It's a way we can see two people with different ways of life connecting. it shouldn't be fleshed out when Kat gets her Lore pass, though. It should be done when both characters have their personalities defined.

As for Swain's cane, his current lore states that he broke his leg horribly to where the bone was sticking out, so he walked into the medical tent or whatever and (badassly) had it pushed back into place, then asked for a cane. I think they should keep this. Or, they could use it to reinforce your third one, as Tyrant Swain suggests(Tyrant doesn't hobble, he picks that shit up and power walks).

They should turn Draven into Deadpool of League. This doesn't mean he can't have complex characterization because Deadpool does himself depending on the writer but the fact that Riot described Draven as a 4th wall breaking showman reminded me of Deadpool.

And most importantly... Cassiopeia: is she bald under that headdress?

Anyone besides me think a contentious and enjoyable matching of blades and skill leading to a begrudging attraction would make more sense between the mortal enemies of Darius and Fiora?

I actually had an idea when it came Talon is that he is a henchman for Swain, who is job is too basically take anybody who opposes Swain's rule, i came particularly from two things

First off the drapes swon im the teaser image resembles alot like Talon's cape and Second off all, Talon is also used to call a bird's feet
