Which In Lore Relationship Do You Want Explored?

As the title says, which in lore relationship would you like to see explored and better shown?

While there are many that have remained canon, or borderline canon, such as Garen and Katarina, and then there are some that have been completely, if not totally retconned, such as Lux and Ezreal, with their expanded universe, there's a lot that Riot could put further depth in. Something that first came to mind when I asked myself this question was Cassiopeia and her relationship with her sister. Cassiopeia is a bit lacking in the lore department, and it's still unclear whether or not Katarina even knows her sister even survived her trip from Shurima, or that she's aware Cassiopeia has been magically altered. While this is something I'd like to see explained, my first pick actually goes to Janna and her relationship with Viktor.

Janna, awhile ago, had her lore updated, transforming her into an ancient goddess of the seas, that eventually came to be the guardian of Zaun, and is even somewhat worshipped in Piltover. Side note, she has a short story called "Deep Breath" which is about a boy, long story short, I highly recommend reading it. Anyway, now with Janna's new lore, how does she view Viktor? Does she believe him completely evil for his less than ethical behavior, or does she still see hope in him, see him as the what might have been the best of Zaun had he not become obsessed with his "Glorious Evolution"? On the other hand, how does Viktor view Janna. As man who seeks to help humanity, in his own, again, less than ethical way, does he view her as a hindrance, only hurting the people more with her unpredictable help, or does he view her in a better light? Lets not forget that Viktor was a born and raised in Zaun, so he is no doubt aware of her existence.

So, what relationship do you want further explored?

Ashe /Tryndamere Is it love or just a political marriage? If it's just a political one then do they date others? Ashe/Taric and Tryn/Vi? Tell us.

I have a couple. In no particular order:

  1. Irelia and Akali - similar ideals I think, could be interesting
  2. Caitlyn and Vi - we've never seen the partners together on a full mission
  3. Leona and Diana - what happens when they finally meet
  4. Lux and Galio - I want Galio to be her best friend/ big brother (besides Garen)
  5. Swain and Draven/ Darius/ Leblanc - Swain's relation to the brothers seems cool, and what's up with him and LB?
  6. Yi and Wukong - I don't know why I love these two so much, they're just fun
  7. Xayah and Rakan - I wanna see Rakan make Xayah less edgy so I feel more justified in liking her
  8. Swain and Alyssa val-Lokan - I love this character so much, please just let her keep being relevant. Swain's apprentice, loyal follower, idc, just bring her back please

With the reworked Aatrox his corruption of Tryndamere is no longer to be considered canon, i feel, but it was one i always wanted to see develop

Taliyah and Azir

From the throne of the Shuriman empire, Azir issued decrees that shook its foundations and built a civilization to rival the gods. But when a young tribal stoneweaver and her flock of inspired folk demand democracy, will he make the ultimate reform?

Ekko and Blitzcrank

Much like Lux or Nunu, this youngster with magical powers finds a friendly ‘monster’ who embodies the spirit of his region. From snagging friends off dangerous ledges to playing power-fist ball, imagine the adventures that these two might enjoy!

Jayce and Caitlyn

They are two of Piltover’s brightest and most prominent minds. One is a hextech engineer and reluctant hero; the other, a brave detective and famous markswoman. Surely, they must have heard of each other...

Darius and Garen. I want a story of them on the field of battle or smting where none of them falls and they just proceed to annihilate their surroundings while dueling,

Caitlyn and Vi, really hope Cait gets a rework one day alongside interactions with Vi so I can stop hating her for being such a bland character.

I want this meeting to happen ---> Kaisa Taric.

As far as personal relationship and character thematics go, this has a huge potential:

  • Kai'sa finds some1 that can see through her voidling carapace and whose love for life will help her ease her own condition and solitude.
  • Taric on the other hand finds a precious ally that he cannot save from the Void and its hunger as it would basically mean to kill her.

Aatrox Kayn Varus especially when they were ascended. There's not much we know about Rhaast.

The friendship between Ahri and MonkeyKing . If the new champ is really the woman from Ahri's story as theorized it's possible we may get some info on this.

Azir with Renekton and Nasus currently. Also what they think of the Darkin.

Zoe Taric Pantheon Leona Diana Granted I'm not up-to-date on all their lore I'd love to know what the Aspects think of one another and their hosts and how they interact.

Kayle Morgana and the ascended/darkin. Guess we'll see more when they are updated.

Nautilus and anybody lol.

Shen Jhin Zed and the students Akali Kayn . We'v got a bit of them already but I wouldn't complain if we got more. They really struck gold with the interaction of the former 3 imo.

Anivia Ornn Volibear and the Seal Sister.I'm surprised she's not mentioned more often on the boards. I hope she becomes a champion like her siblings but any introduction to her would be appreciated.

Amumu and anyone. I think there's so much potential to flesh him out. And even though most or all interactions would probably end badly (for Amumu at least) I think a sad champion is really compelling. Really looking forward to the a VGU.

Chogath and Malphite . Will get updated lore when their time for VGU comes. I don't think they have any interaction so far but I personally hope they're rivals as I imagine Malph is the only one big enough to take on a fully grown Cho. There's also a nice contrast with the Void being somewhat organic and the Runeterran monolith being made of rock. Galio might actually be big enough to have a place in this battle too hmm.

Fiddlesticks and anyone. I'm biased but from the old lore at least he seemed on another level compared to the other demons. I hope his updated lore and possible interaction with Shaco/Tahm/Eve/Noc etc he maintains that scale of doom and mystery.

Skarner and Rammus just cause I think it'd be cool and they're both strange beings from the desert.

Ah the question said In-Lore. Hope it's okay I included some hypothetical ones in there.

Mordekaiser and all the Shadow Isles/ghoulish champs. Maybe in 2019 with his update.

Apart from everything that's already been said on this thread, I'd like to see Azir, Nasus and any of the Darkin interact with each other. Who supports Azir in rebuilding Shurima? Do some Darkin still respect Nasus and Azir? Who would be willing to serve Azir again? How would Nasus react to seeing familiar faces again?

AurelionSol and the Aspects of Targon, I'd like to see the story of Aurelion's imprisonment told from an Aspect's point of view. As well how Aspects interact with each other, Aurelion's story suggests they were in conflict with each other. The Solari view the Lunari as heretics and even Zoe states herself that she tends to get in Pantheon's way.


Targon and Shurima, specifically Pantheon and Aatrox, Aatrox calls Panth "betrayer" however, Aatrox's lore doesn't expand enough on his encounter with Panth, I think that too is a story worth telling. Perhaps Aatrox was helping the Targonians stop the other Darkin similar to Ta'anari? Perhaps Aatrox was also an embodiment of war, and felt betrayed that the heavens would send another Aspect of War to end him?

Azir Xerath

Their human life as a story would be cool. Would prefer it from Xerath's perspective if such thing would be exlusive to only one side.

Graves TwistedFate

How did they meet? What were they like in their youth?

I think we definitely need more lore on this set of siblings: Katarina Cassiopeia Talon Katarina and Cassiopeia are blood relatives, while Talon is their adopted brother that their father took in under his tutelage. There's been virtually NO LORE WHATSOEVER regarding this family as all of Katarina's lore regards her early days and her mission that got her scar; Cassiopeia's lore is only about her betrayal of Sivir and fall from the public eye; and Talon's lore is just about him being a good assassin who got adopted. There is nothing at all in the lore that discusses them as a family or their family dynamics, and considering the elder Du Couteau's massive presence in the shift of power in Noxus, it's a really weird oversight to have nothing about them as a family.

Personally, Sona and Lux.

There's potential here for quite a bit, and I really want to see something with the two

Ezreal Lux because theres been uears of them teasing it and Ezreal is confirmed to have interactions with her in his new VO.

Garen Katarina because theyre the Romeo and Juliet of LoL and i want their rivalry/romance to get some expansion and return to pre Darius days where Garens rival was Kat not his own literal mirror on the enemy team.

Veigar Lulu because it would be adorable af.

Annie Nunu not actually in a shipping way like the other 3 but in a Annie could really use a fucking friend and Nunu is very friendly. Also, they both have massive protective monsters.

Jinx Vi we need confirmation or denial on these twos relationship as sisters. Also wtf was with the Warwick update hinting that he's their father rito please.

Soraka Syndra because Soraka knows shit about Syndra and I need to know what she knows.

Quinn Talon because theyre hinted to be twins and i need to hear the whole fucking story please omg.

Fiora and Jax As of right now in lore Riot has a potential story line for these two set up, and it seems really interesting. Thats what im waiting for Riot to expand upon.
