You know, riot could take Lucian vs Thresh and let it determine who Senna is

So riot seems gearing up for a legendary story fight of Lucian vs Thresh for the fate of Senna. So right now it seems all but certain to the boards that Senna is going to be the next champ released. What riot could do if they really wanted to is to put stakes into the fight. If lucian wins, we get a canon human Senna who goes back to hunting the shadow isles with her hubby. However if thresh wins, riot could make her a shadow isles specter of some kind in canon and stage 2 of the lucian story means he now has to hunt down both thresh and his wife who is now using her skills to take down humans and bolster the ranks of the shadow isles.

Do you guys think riot would do an event that could have implications for both the story and a released champ's design?

Event would be fun but that would require event on early stage of champion development to not waste resources on creating both versions (unless they would make second a legendary/ultimate skin). She is already 'finished' and waiting to be unleashed on pbe.

Senna DIED, we cant have "canon human Senna" since that would contradict the lore of the Ruined King.

So, I think Riot isn't doing the whole "players determine fates of lore events" thing anymore. They did it with Ionia/Noxus way back when (Ionia won, hence Ionian boots of lucidity), but ever since then, I think Riot has just been creating the lore, albeit at a glacial pace.

To be honest I don't think this would be a good idea and not just because it'd basically require riot to give Senna a release skin that basically has a whole voice over on its own, but its more from a design-standpoint.

Pretty much any champ is supposed to unique in several ways, their core-theme should stand out from all other champs and of course its always a plus if a champ has a unique personality, gameplay, story and design.

And what would make a rescued Senna really make all that different from Lucian? She'd be basically Lucian 2.0 in both story and theme. Not to mention that Lucian keeping her gun would feel weird if she was rescued.

Meanwhile a corrupted Senna has more going for her. As the corruption would make her stand out from Lucian, would put her into a much more interesting position in the story and would make Lucians story more interesting than "gotta kill thresh out of revenge".

So yeah corrupted Senna just feels like a much more interesting concept than regular Senna.
