@Riot: About Miss Fortune

Dear Riot, I know you like to keep things on secret, but I'd like to know one thing about our buxom bounty/pirate hunter, if you don't mind spilling the beans.

Her lore says that she's only hunting pirates, which if we see by Gangplank's example, pirates are bad news. Within this, we get the idea that she's one of the more noble Bilgewater characters. However, during the Noxus vs Ionia battle, she's depicted as throwing her lot to Noxus. My closest understanding is that Noxus has easier access and connection with Bilgewater, and she can't be picky as a Bounty Hunter about her jobs. But still, this does depict her in a rather negative light, seeing that Ionia in this case is usually touted as the 'good guys'. Not to mention, in both the Crystal Scar promo video, she is depicted to be on the side of the bad guys (with Cassiopeia, Swain, Mordekaiser, and one more guy I forgot), and in the banner art you used in the old forum, she is, once again, aligning with the bad guys (this time, Katarina, Renekton, Fiddlesticks, and again, I forgot the other one).

My question is... are you going to at least keep the more noble aspects of Miss Fortune, or are you just going to make her someone as amoral as the rest of the Bilgewater people? And are we going to get one event where MF might instead side with the good guys to make a point about the dual morality she has being a bounty hunter (AKA if there is a bounty amongst the bad guys, she'll fight for the good guys to claim the bounty)?

Thanks. MF has always been one of my favorite characters and I'd like to see more about her beyond the "FANSERVICE" stuffs (but while keeping it!).

Overall I'd say MF isn't the most moral person,but that she does have her standards or may just hate pirates. A bit like Sivir,who had no moral objections to the noxus/Ionia-war,but is still the good guy...eeerh girl in the shurima-video.

I wonder if anyone realizes that when we ask questions about lore, Riot has absolutely no clue beyond what has already been written.

I wouldn't put too much stock into the whole "MF runs with the bad guys" thing. Someone has to be "allies" with Noxus other than Zaun, and it sure as heck ain't gonna be Demacia, Ionia, or Piltover. Besides, it seems like MF is trying to change things up in Bilgewater, not go with the status quo, and the status quo Bilgewater would probably run with Noxus.

First of all, the Crystal Scar cinematic is fan-made, so you can't really use that as an indicator.

Second, MF has never ben the honorable or noble type. She just hunt pirates because she happens to be good at it and it pays the bills. I could definetely see her getting along with sevaral Noxian champions like Katarina.

What you have to remember though, is that Noxus aren't always "bad guys", because League's universe is not as black and white as you seem to want to make it. Just because MF isn't the stereotypical "good guy", doesn't mean she's a "bad guy" either.
