Voidborn Champions and the Seven (Five, currently) Deadly Sins

So a thing I recently noticed about the Void champions we have is that they seem to represent one of the seven deadly sins in their lore. For instance:

= Wrath due to his reveling in the fear of others and mayhem he causes = Gluttony due to his insatiable hunger and theme around the want for food = Envy due to his need for evolution, seeing something he likes and eating it in order to have it = Lust (Or Greed, depending on what happens in the future) due to his vigorous lust for knowledge = Pride since she is a queen of the Xer'Sai, as well as how she simply seeks to defend her territory in Shurima.

All that are left are Greed and Sloth, so I'm hoping to expect two more Void champions in the future representing these two sins.

NO.

STOP IT.

THERE IS NO CONNECTION TO THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS.

STOP. I'M SORRY BUT THIS GETS REAL OLD REAL QUICK.

ALSO PRIDE FOR REK'SAI? REALLY?

The problem is that you can almost apply any kind of sin to any of them.

I mean wrath would be perfectly fitting for rek'sai(like seriously she even has a fury bar),Vel'koz can also be seen as pride since he saw his fellow void-creatures as lower beings,Kha'zix could also be pride since he wants to be at the one at the top and his thirst for evolution can also be seen as greed/lust(envy is more about making others miserable just so that you feel better) and pretty much all can be related to gluttony since every champion from the void has a lot to do with consumption(cho eats to grow,kog because of hunger,Kha to evolve,Rek'sai has an attack that relates to her hunger and vel'koz basically consumes things with his lasers to get some knowledge)

I hate to be this way because you probably simply don't know how common of a discussion this is, but Sharjo is absolutely right.

The info listed here are all confirmed by RIOT.

Voidborn seem to have a hunger that they must satisfy.

Cho'Gath revels in fear and mayhem and depravity. Kha'Zix craves biological perfection. Kog'Maw simply wants food, albeit endlessly. Rek'Sai hunts those who cross her domain relentlessly. Vel'Koz seeks omniscience.

Based on the name, I wouldn't be surprised if Rek'Sai came from the void. But where in her lore does it say that? I've only seen her as some haunter of the Shurima desert.
