Sappy?
Or at the very least Fan-Fiction-y?
How TF was going on about trying to save Graves and all that junk kind of had me like:

Not sure what they're trying to push with TF and Graves but I'd imagine that it, if it was following the old lore of the characters, would have involved a lot of mutual interests working for the better of them both with a metaphorical twist of the knife in the back to one of them at the end.

This sounds like a lot of spy movies I used to watch back in the day, except one of them is usually a femme fatale.
Oh god someone in HQ is a shipper.

Well, TF and Graves WERE con-artists.
I'd think it only natural that con-artists would use their wit against each other.
Radnar the bold4 votesThey built it up and then it felt like everything happend in an instant.
Like Act one, slowly building up to TF and Graves fight (good, but a little slow) Act two, graves chasing TF as GPs men surround them (very slow) Act Three TF and graves get back togther and MF kills GP(Lets tie everything up really fast and explain things in one sentence)
Legacy of Xion4 votesGP's death was so random. Like just everything explodes. It wasn't handled well in my opinion.
SaltyToplaneGoat2 votesYa really should read MF's updated lore page...
Legacy of Xion1 votesI did.
Still didn't feel as built up as it should have.

Still a better love story than Twilight.
Blade of Justic3 votesStill a better love story than Twilight.
Fair enough. I just couldn't read their parts of the story in the 3rd act without thinking "Where's the kiss scene already?"
IcyPepper1 votesTo be fair, Riot does have to toe the line with things not considered universally "welcome" as BS as some of us find it.
I mean, Graves can't even have a cigar. We're highly unlikely to see Caitlyn and Vi's glorious wedding with Diana and Leona catching the flowers afterwards the romance we're all waiting for.
Champions have been implied to swing the other way from time to time (or maybe we players just read into it too much!). Maybe some Rioter wanted a kiss scene, but had to follow the rules, so they made it sappy. And come on, TF and Graves had seen some shipping in the past before, we all know someone in the lore department is a crafty bastard.
Vistha Kai2 votesThat's so obsolete.
Now it's "still better love story than 50 Shades of Grey".
IcyPepper1 votesWasn't that originally a fanfiction of Twilight tho?
Guess it makes sense then...
Vistha Kai1 votesIt was heavily based on Twilight, yes.
OverpoweredSoap2 votesAs much as I liked it, I must admit it felt at least a little bit fan fiction-ish.
GreenLore1 votesWhile it did feel a bit fan-fictionish,I think it was an overall neat development and made TF a more likeable character.
Merxamers1 votesI like that they've advanced the lore of these characters a bit. The whole 'vengeance' thing TF and Graves shared was kinda like a prologue, and now we've had an actual chapter in their story. Was it a little sappy? Maybe, but I thought it was satisfying enough.
The Chuckler1 votesI thought it was a decent play on the characters. If you have a character with the same lore for eons, sometimes to the point of being completely outdated and not even fitting with the rest of the lores (
), having an update/advance in the lore is quite interesting. MF's lore was still dragging on to see what happens, as well as TF and Graves. I like what they did, makes the lores actually a bit lively.
Only Play Darius1 votesThey never got real time to talk. And when they did run into eachother, they were both armed and ready to kill. It was only when they were disarmed and chained together for certain death that Graves actually calmed his mind enough to hear TF's explanation. Once Graves reasoned out what TF told him, he forgave him, especially after TF got set free yet risked his life to come and save Graves. It was well written.
