How do you feel about them basically making her apart of a race of furries? (Bipedal animals, not humans with animal ears and tails)
here's the lore if you haven't read it yet.

TricolorStar4 votesAhri was really bland before tbh. I love it, but she was obviously a thinly-veiled Kitsune/Kumiho that was pandering towards an even more obvious demographic. Although her story was neat, it was very 1-dimensional.
Now she's part of a race that exists in the League universe, her story has opportunities for change and growth, and she's less of a 1-D "fox spirit" character. I like it.
Silly Neeko3 votesI feel it adds a bit more uniqueness than just "she was a fox. She found a dieing wizard and became mostly human after stealing their magic. She eats the souls of..... Charmed.... People to keep her appearance...."
This gives a better reasoning of WHY, she is a part of a race that actually evolved into that, rather than just some weird mishap that happened that makes her seem more like shes that female Terminator that transformed into a woman as a happy turn of events for the police officer before he died.
Shes obviously still a seductress of Ionia same as normal, but it could add a bit of depth to her original lore though as well..... She could be the animalistic shapeshifter that helped start that new tribe due to her being lonely all by herself. She was changed from a fox into a fox lady afterall, so perhaps she was one of the "people" that was running when she found a shapeshifting mage and then found a way to pass it along to the other animals, thus being the reason why they have more characteristics of animals rather than humans? Seeing as they were very offended if the bonding was just magical or if there was a more physical aspect...... Perhaps it is not just that its a rather crude question to ask..... But to help gaurd their deep secret of how they came into being and to help protect their beautiful but deadly maiden so as to not have people seeking her out to pester her and asking for some of the magic as well...... However it may be transfered.
Just some possible ideas that might make you a bit more open to the new lore.
MavenSong2 votesVastaya have a range of looks depending how "pure" thier blood is. While more pure ones are probably bipedal animals, ones with moderate puritiy seem to be able to transform between, while lesser purty lack this, but probably still keep some animal traits. Thats what ive seem to pull from this. Feel free to correct me.

To me this just kinda well....took away what made her SO unique to the world of league, she stood out because she was one-of-a-kind, now she's just....another everyday thing for them.

I've written a pretty extensive post on this topic. The Ahri you know and love is certainly not gone, just put in a position to interact with other champions as opposed to being in her own little world.
Requiemsfire2 votesYes because having a fox tail, fox ears and whiskers made her unique somehow as opposed to being apart of a race of Chimera's.
Popstar Ahri2 votesI dispise the new lore
It would had been better if she was independent, and innocent along. I don't want her to have rivals, since 99% of league champs have rivals
GreenLore4 votesNo one says that she has rivals,just because she is part of a race. And she was never innocent in her lore,it was always about her being evil at first and then becoming good eventually.
TheHappyReaperz1 votesHow is she a part of a race of furries?
Glîtchy1 votesHow is she a part of a race of furries?
The others who are supposedly the same race look like Bipedal animals (furries), anymore explanation needed?
TheHappyReaperz1 votes"an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online."
That's a furry. The Vastaya are Chimeras.
MavenSong1 votesNot all Vastaya, they are a range of animals, chimeras just one of.
Silly Neeko1 votesNot all Vastaya, they are a range of animals, chimeras just one of.
Chimera is simply a mix of multiple animals.... The most renowned is the three headed beast of lion, snake, and eagle.
Thus, head of an otter, but body of a seal........ Etc. Multiple animals in one form.

I'd like to point out that if you google "furries" without safe search, it'll fuck you up so bad.
Thing is, many if not everyone associates bipedal animals with term "furry"
Meliodäs1 votesThis new Ahri's lore is utter trash. It makes her look common while she's certainly the only one 9 tailed Fox. Old lore makes her unique to LoL universe. Again, riot destroys LoL and it's universe even more.. EDIT Riot fucked Ahri as character few times before by changing voice actors(pre2015 was way better) and also her splashart(current one is superbad). Can Riot finally stop making that many mistakes and actually listen to players?
