@Riot Why ARE Karthus and Soraka Rivals?

When you think about it, it doesn't really make sense tbh. Despite the fact that their motifs completely contradict each other. I mean, there are some other rivalries that might make less sense (Volibear and Zilean as an example), they still have a LITTLE bit of story to it (yes, it's in a "buff" in game, but STILL)

  1. There hasn't been any actual indication lore-wise that Karthus and Soraka actually know each other, or that they've even met.

  2. Neither character has any lines for each other, and considering Karthus is the one who had gotten a update the soonest (comparatively speaking), I find that rather odd.

  3. despite them as "Rivals", both Soraka and Karthus have skins that match (Reaper), and lol have you SEEN Karthus and Soraka work together in a match? things get fuuuuuuun :P

Basically what I'm saying is that it doesn't make much sense that thematically, Soraka and Karthus are rivals beside the fact that their ults completely contradict each other. Should Soraka get a VU herself (I guess it's a possibility), and I'm not saying that she and Karthus can't be rivals, but can we at least get some explanation for it?

Doesn't it make complete sense because one wants to restore all life and another wants to kill all life, and they both have a global ultimate to do that which cancel each other out.

....just because they have contradictory ults don't mean they are enemies. I'm pretty sure there are cases with characters with complete opposite powers that are friends. Just sayin :P

One is a preacher of death the other is a guardian of life. It's not only their powers and ult that contradict each other they also have contrasting morals and goals.

They don't just have opposite powers, they have opposite beliefs and motifs.

Contradictory ults, that's not what he said. He said contradictory motifs.

She had one in 2012 (VU) and 2014 (VGU)...and it's you know 2016. Still looks good :P
