I assume Riot is torpedoing the Lux/Ezreal ship due to her specific quote toward him

"Are we supposed to be... dating, or something? We've never even talked."

Can't make the pairing work, Jaredan?

EDIT: Confirmed, it's specific to Ezreal. https://youtu.be/DtFrbd4Z_MI

So there still a chance? Ezreal XTaric

Chances are for those who don't understand the way of the world, the way of beauty. In our hearts Taric and Ezreal always will and always have been a pair. It is just the way the world is, for if it isn't so then how could the world be beautiful?

Remember, Beauty in all things. Just because you cannot see the wonder that dwells within something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It is easy to love something because, because it is beautiful, or wonderful, or awe inspiring. True love is in the despite. Loving something despite it's flaws. Being willing to put aside differences, to look past the ugly side and see the gem inside.

That is something we too often forget. It is the lesson I learned from Taric, because playing him has truly shaped me over the years. I used to be dark and cynical, and a part of the still dwells within me. However due to Taric I can now look on all things and attempt to look past their flaws to find the beauty within. It is the reason I haven't given up on this community or the people in it, and if I can look past the shadows at the heart of League players to try and help them and appreciate the beauty within then who is to question my mentor's ability to see beauty at the heart of Ezreal?

It's not what Taric sees in him. It's what he wants to put in him. [slayer-jinx-wink]

i dont think so because whats worse than having a line that disproves it is how they gave taric 0 lines towards ezreal at all LOL

As a member of the anime community: canon isn't enough to stop a ship.

That's why they used a torpedo.

A ship cannot be destroyed by any means.

It can only run out of fuel.

This line didn't make sense to me because Ez and Lux are listed as friends on their champion pages. Which means her new VO retcons. x.x

darkdill8 votes

I imagine that once Lux gets her new lore, her connection with Ezreal will be removed.

Gonna be honest: I've had a pretty shitty past few weeks, but the moment I heard that line my day brightened.

Well Ezreal got retconned away from Demacia to Piltover, so it doesn't really make sense for them to be a canon couple.

darkdill17 votes

Wasn't he always from Piltover, and just studied for a time in Demacia?

Limrick1 votes

I think he was associated with Demacia in the old lore, but now he has nothing to do with it at all.

Baron Von Bangin7 votes

He was not. Always Piltover.

Tattersall1 votes

He was always Piltover, but he had friends everywhere. He got around quite a bit.

he was always from Piltover. but since he traveled and explored so much he had encounters with people from both Demacia and Noxus, who are the major kingdoms.

I'm pretty sure the best part was, "Kat and Garen sitting in a tree". Nah, I'm jk.

I got a hell of a good laugh hearing that. Im not against it but god i was imaging people's reactions.

This just means Riot cares about their lore, and don't just follow random, idiotic fandom shippings.

Lintu Puck4 votes

despite the fact it was riot themselves that started the ship (intentional or not)

Sandrahy2 votes

Well this fan art happened once: http://i.imgur.com/m7myr8w.jpg

and then Riot was like: "We ship it" http://i.imgur.com/KdF1aoX.png

EROTIC RAID BOSS3 votes

It never made much sense particularly after they revamped the lore (and it was always prettttttty dumb wasn't it?)

but yeah they live very very far from each other and prob wouldn't ever meet. same goes for taric and ezreal!

midnight oil243 votes

You get it. I applaud you. Few others get the problems with hte ship.

Yep. It's a sad world where people downvote you for not having the same ship as them.

but what about this?

https://leaguefactions.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/ezreal-lux-sketch.jpg

is it merely just a dream!?

midnight oil241 votes

Probably. Not to mention, they're not above changing the lore suddenly. Ekko now has parents, when he didn't before. And he was released post-retcon. No reason why they're obligated to keep that ship.

Sandrahy1 votes

I'm just sitting here like thinking: wait.. what? Ekko? I haven't been 100% up to date with the new zaun/piltover lore update, I only read a bit of them...

Tbh, I don't blame them for changing lore, and it IS a drawing. It might still be somewhat canon that Ez has a crush on Lux, but Lux is like: you wot m8?

Like she IS from a really wealthy family. So.. oh and, you do realize some champions do have sassy quotes to an enemy of x champ but a compliment/positive attitude towards the allied version.

Tahm to allied ahri - http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/a8/TahmKench.tauntAhri02.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20150624151221 ("I am enthralled by your class and refinement - I must offer you a token of my admirations.") To enemy - http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/7/76/TahmKench.tauntAhri01.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20150624151220 ("You're as modest as a freshly-paid courtesan.")

So... maybe this is also just a talk of a "no I don't like you because you are on the other team" moment. (Sort of like a passive way of tilting someone) [slayer-jinx-wink]

midnight oil241 votes

Usually, those taunts get to be more mean if there's also an ally quote. Taliyah, for example, even towards an enemy ekko, will talk about how she's got a crush on him.

So I think they only do that when there's also an ally taunt.

In addition, I don't really think that it works out, because a noblewoman wouldn't be seeing some explorer. And before you say that they could be doing it in secret, remember that this is Demacia. Where nothing seems to escape the government's sight.

Sandrahy1 votes

Well.. Garen has a crush on Kat... Then again, she is actually a noble woman... But she is Noxian.. dun dun duuun, forbidden love -- Garen and Kat, siting in a tree.... and you better only be holding hands or I'm telling >:C .. ######I wonder who she will tell....

But that won't mean Ez can't have a crush... Or it's just riots quirky way of saying "They are characters in a game that can't really talk to each other" lol But I do agree that riot is probably trying to sink the ship.

midnight oil242 votes

And I'm totally happy with them trying to sink the ship.

Sandrahy1 votes

I just realized all those people who draws fan art and stuff...

Stalker/Overly attached Ezreal incoming .. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Riot could say they're siblings and people would still say they're perfect together.
