Could Vayne's upcoming encounter with Evelynn make her bats canon?

Blood Magicks··15 votes·1,492 views

This is some solid tinfoil here but we all know Vayne has a bats particle effect when she tumbles. This isn't exactly explained by her lore as Vayne is strictly non-magical and bats are almost always a sign of the occult.

We also know Evelynn killed her parents and is currently being hunted by the Night Hunter.

But what if, upon encountering a source of evil as potent as Eve, Vayne gets tainted in a way that sends bloodthirsty spirits and dark creatures after her?

Perhaps it isn't even a Berserk-like brand that draws adversarial entities. Maybe it completes the "he who fights monsters" trope and Vayne is now somewhat enhanced by the touch of magic, which explains her superhuman speed and bullshit damage. Maybe she is forced to live with the minor change and only utilises it further in the pursuit of her foes.

What do you think?

EDIT: yes I know her entire deal is Batman Helsing but that's not a valid in-world explanation, is it?

Its an interesting way to plan it, although i'm not sure if Riot will change her Lore again so soon just to add this little detail.

For me the bats have always been canon, she uses them to find her prey in the dark by their echolocation, and when she tumbles the poor bats are finally free from that maniac's pockets.

Zed gets new stories every patch but my waifu can't have more character development? Rito???

Wasn't Vlad your waifu?

nevertheless, the thing about Zed is that he keeps getting people that is related to him, and even then, it isn't a direct story change as big as "she now has awesome dark powers cause she saw Eve" But more like personality changes that are regarded by other characters

Why take Vayne as Waifu when Vlad is far better as Husbando AND as Waifu? I just can't understand it

Yep, thats how low Vayne's lvl is for me in the Waifu material. Even Vlad beats her as waifu

Hey, just because you don't fall for edgy mentally ill women doesn't mean they're not worth obsessing over.

I think it's because she's supposed to be League's Batman.

In universe explanation: she's a night hunter and goes after monsters who often live in caves. Bats are nocturnal and live in caves.

I always figured she had bats up her sleeves.

I don't think she's strictly non-magical, she just seems to hate dark magic.

Im pretty sure its a batman reference nothing more than that.

I don't think Vayne should have magic, just as how she is as a character and how they built her up with her Bio and short story. But I don't see why they need to explain the bats, she was originally designed as a batman like character (though I am pretty sure she has changed more into a "punisher" like character now) and no one questions why he has bats. He just does, so why not her aswell?
