Can everyone stop talking about Varus being gay
Because if you dislike the new lore compared to the original that's honestly not even an issue that's even on the radar significantly.
Varus as a character had fundamental aspects of his personality as a champion change. He went from a single man who was doomed to die defending a corrupted temple and choosing to corrupt himself in a final vow to his honorable duty of defending it and keeping the evil contained within inside of him and choosing to take vengeance in his last breath. Now this easily could've been done by changing the corruption to a Darkin and preserving the character, but that's not what happened. New Varus is a monster, he seeks vengeance for his people but its entirely indiscriminate against the mortals and there's no semblance for peace. He's the dominating force and Val and Kai are two voices that sometimes change his decisions, but it went from Varus defending himself in a final honorable act to wanting vengeance for a war that's centuries old and slaying innocents to sate his bloodlust.
I get he had a wife and child when you look at the details of the old lore, but they weren't developed. Maybe they could've had the polish of the new comics and been good but really these are minor players in this champion. The Darkin human relationship that determines the personality of the champion is what is important, and Varus has changed on a fundamental basis from being vengeful defending his land, to just wanting to slaughter mortals using an old war as an excuse.
Like even if you really care about that wife and child for some reason, constantly bringing it up is creating this dumb strawman that's easily perpetuated that "OH YOU ONLY HATE IT BECAUSE ITS GAY" and I have a feeling Riot will probably be factoring that into our feedback.
