Relationships in League!

TL;DR: I want more lore about the romances in League.

I feel like there is some unwritten rule that video games and intimate relationships are like oil and water (Mass Effect and Dragon Age excluded). For whatever reason, there is a lack of people who are in love with each other in good video games. Whether this follows the social stigma of nerds/geeks not being adept in the realm of relationships, or if it is just a coincidence, I think that it's high time we saw something more in our video games, and I thought, "Why not start here, within League's lore?" So, Rioters, get your romantic sides moving. I want to hear more about the love lives of the champions, even if their love lives don't necessarily have a true relationship. I want to hear about Lux and Ezreal. Is their relationship nothing more than a high school popular kids relationship, because they are the two cutest in their circles? Or is it a deeper relationship than that, based on a series of events that led the two together? I want to hear about Ashe and Tryndamere. Is their relationship based on politics: for the betterment of the Freljord, they are dating; or do the two of them actually care about each other deeply? Is it more of a relationship where Ashe is practically royalty, and Tryndamere is the bad boy who stole her heart? I want to hear about the possible relationship between Vi and Caitlyn. Is the community making too much out of Vi's Debonair skin and her personality, or are we truly looking at the first ever lesbian relationship on League? If they are lesbian, is that something that is accepted in Piltoverian society, or is it something the two of them have to stay in the dark about for fear of public ridicule? What about the love-hate relationship between Garen and Katarina? Could the most loyal soldier of Demacia find a certain deadly beauty in the renowned assassin of Noxus? Is it nothing more than admiration of skill between two great soldiers, or are Katarina and Garen League's star-crossed lovers? What about the relationship between Rumble and Tristana? We all know that Rumble is infatuated with Tristana, but does she ever return the feeling? Is Rumble just a hopeless romantic, or might there be something beyond that for the two yordles?

I can't think of any more examples at this point, but I think that if you even just answered these, that would be awesome.


I didn't realize I'd get this big of a discussion going. I am glad I could peak the interest of fellow players! Now if only I could start getting people in real life to be this interested...

Ahri is a seductress. AsheTryndamere married. TwistedFate Evelynn used to be dating. Lucian was married. Cassiopeia charmer. Janna for only 2.95 a minute, she'll leave you breathless. Katarina Garen "secret" lovers. Lux Ezreal in a relationship. Taric is jealous. Nidalee don't you know it's mating season? Veigar Lulu that tasted purple! Shyvana is in love with JarvanIV whose feelings are unknown. Tristana Teemo are in a relationship. Rumble likes Tristana, and is jealous. Caitlyn Vi some form of lesbian relationship going on behind the scenes.

Leona Diana and Ironstylus.

Yasuo xRiven Will always be my favorite. There is so much rich story between these two characters that it's hard not to get interested.

Relationships are seriously complex subjects. For now, I find it more imperative that Riot's narrative team form the foundations of a champion's lore before moving on to more delicate topics.

Besides, I would much rather broach the subject of psychological torment.

This one wasn't a more serious lore relationship, but I found Annie & Amumu super cute in Prom Queen Annie and Almost Prom King Amumu :3

Also, are there any other champions that have love lives outside of the League? It seems weird that we have, what, 124 champions, and we don't have any that are married or otherwise committed.
