Now THERE is a question.

Isn't it more that they are attracted to certain societies that fit their personality, not mimicing? Else Kled wouldn't be moaning about how modern day Noxans aren't real Noxans.

It would also mean that any Yordle still in the city would be mimicing Yordle society that that just doesn't make sense.

Clearly he grew up in a house with a Yasuo main.

Evil.

Also keep in mind that Veigar does not live among humans.

he was imprisoned and went insane

I actually never noticed that before. His lore says he was imprisoned in Noxus. So let's say he is mimicking the black rose part of noxua.

Most likely Noxus.

He has an ideal that strength triumphs all and has great ambitions of conquer and bringing nations to their knees. Seems very likely derived from a Noxian ideal, even if he doesn't live in Noxus.

Well, if during his imprisonment by Noxus he was inside the Immortal Bastion, there was a giant bird daemon there until Swain took over. A magical creature like a Yordle might make a special kind of treat for it to torment. That’d explain the mental shift as his soul had been getting consumed slowly and imprinted on by an true darkness until he got out.

Question: If he controls celestial magic such as dark mater and planer rifts, does that put him up there in power with Aurelion Sol, the Void and Mt. Targon?

His lore said he was imprisoned so most likely he's mimicking he's jailers most likely because they were cruel and evil. One of his abilities is basically a cage.

Evil and the thirst for more and more power

He was kept in isolation. Locked up. Drove him insane.

What if Veigar's "imprinting" pre-dates Noxus and is actually derived from Mordekaiser's rule?

Btw your list is missing Corki, who, just like Teemo, Tristana and Rumble, is more connected to Bandle City than the rest of the world.

I believe that Teemo and Trist are purely influenced by Bandle City, since I don't think they have any other connection with another place. The same, I think, goes for Rumble but I don't really know his lore.

"If Yordles Mimic the Society They Grow Up Around..."

Where does it say that? I wasn't aware.

He's mimicking the Void. Just look how purple he is

YiffMeImAFurry3/16/2018, 2:22:46 PM1 votes

What does teemo mimic? He's OK outside of combat but is a stone cold killer inside of a combat situation. Where'd that come from?

Lucky Moniker3/16/2018, 6:17:01 PM1 votes

Himself. Isn’t the lore that he was captured and left in solitary confinement for years?

ltmetal3/16/2018, 8:24:45 PM1 votes

The void, right?
