Hey Riot I just read the story of Riven and Yasuo and I really like it. Hope you do more stories for other champs in the war likeMasterYi wen he was the only one alive. But their is one thing bothering me. In the story Riven is now living in Ionia but in the universe she is still Noxian so can you please change her Rigion. And wen you guys do the Next champ for Ionia make Ann Ionian name for him/her.

Answer by WAAARGHbobo to a similar question:

Riven still represents the best of what Noxus is and could be. Currently she is being tempered and reforged by Ionia.

You can source that all you want, but that's a bullshit comment that completely contradicts the way they've handled other ex-patriots in the game. Riven HATES Noxus. Her former homeland broke her when they subjected her to horrors in the war. She's also an orphan who only had the military to call home in Noxus. With her being betrayed by the military, she's got no reason WHATSOEVER to go back to Noxus. She is learning to live the Ionian way, in flow and harmony with things, rather than the Noxian way of "I WIN, I GET THE COOKIE!" We distinctly see this in the story, when she actively suppresses her urges and military training to stick to the Ionian laws and ideals. She may have started with Noxian ideals, but those are gone now and being replaced by the more peaceful Ionian ideals.

That and, in honesty, I'm American. Going to Japan and living there for the rest of my life as a citizen doesn't make me full on Japanese. I'd still be considered American irregardless.

Then Xin Zhao should not be listed as a Demacian, since he was an Ionia by birth. Same of Sona.

Faction placement in League is not the same as citizenship or cultural belonging. One is alliegence, and the other is complete social and behavioral change. Big difference that some Rioters have not figured out when they use the term "faction" badly in the context of their replies to "Riven being Ionian faction".

Irregardless isn’t a word.

If you become a citizen of Japan, you are Japanese. Japanese means you are a citizen of Japan, just like being an American means you are a citizen of the USA. You won't be a native Japanese person, but you will still be Japanese. We may use these words to define race and origin in some aspects, but they have a dual nature when talking about citizenship.

Born a Noxian, but is an Ionian now (she is part of that faction now, as in she now works for the benefit of Ionia and not Noxus).
