I don't want to stand with Sylas. When is Riot going to stop propping mages up as good or even decent people when they are anything but?
Why am I not given the choice to stand against him? I will not be participating in this morally wrong event.
No, it's not a bias towards mages, it's a bias towards anarchists, warmongers, vigilante, rebels, and radical/extremists.
It's not just Riot, a great deal of writers possess this bias, because it's what sells, because many among the audience members are shallow and egoistical edge-lords who don't know how to do things properly and their only solution that they reach for FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE when it comes to anything remotely complicated is "destruction". And so writers cater to this demand.
It sucks, but what can you do?
.....
This isn't to say Riot never managed to write good stories that make good use of a conviction for something grand and a well-purposed use of strength, I mean we at least have Yorick to show for it (and is it a coincidence that the champ is so unpopular and so low on the priority list he is virtually forgotten from skin releases? Who knows), but many do fall into the really "meh" category of just shamelessly catering to edge-lords.
You are such a baby damn.
But magic users are
Mage -stic.
Sylas is the Magneto of Runeterra.
The comparison only work when considering Demacia, as unlike the 616 Earth where mutants are generally feared because of people like Magneto all over the world, there is an entire nation just across the way which would welcome you with open arms as long as you prove your power/worth (Noxus).
What we lack is an Xavier to counter him.
All Mages are good people?
Xerath? Veigar? Elise? Eve? LeBlanc? Morg?
I agree.
At least add an option to stand against him.
I think that is the point of this whole Sylas thing. He is not a revolutionary nor a strategist he is just mad and angry and is leading all other mages into distruction and terror.
But Sylas isn't a mage
