Being from somewhere and having that same place be the centerpiece for your story are different things.
Taric went from being a Demacian soldier to becoming an Aspect of Targon, and his views and alliances shifted accordingly, he identifies as an Aspect of Targon who must protect the world from the Void rather than as a disgraced Demacian soldier who was basically exiled from his homeland.
Cassie went to Shurima as a Noxian and left Shurima as a Noxian, her views didn't change and her story still lies in Noxus rather than Shurima, much like how Taliyah's story lies in Shurima despite her Ionian adventure clearly being a defining chapter of her life.
