Black and white characters

So i 've seen alot of drama around lore changes affecting viktor through jayce which is tbh deserved. However i just noticed that Cait and a warden fought a Lunatic chem researcher and i'm afraid they might be referring to singed I never saw singed as a complete lunatic, different morals sure.

Also is it just me or is Zaun just depicted as the fucked up slums of piltover? I loved Zaun as it pretty much was the rapture of runeterra. But it seems like you want to make Character Black and white.

As jinx and Singed are my favorite champs by far i'm afraid you might just turn both of them into mindless lunatics for the sake of having a Bad guy.

now i'm not 100% sure it'll be him considering how Zaun is now Filled with lunatics. But please Keep your characters gray when possible and give the Viktor mains something back because holy shit, The whole story is just sucking jayce's dick while he acts like an asshole while defending the world from the Lunatic Viktor. tldr: Please don't make certain characters that were fairly neutral total assholes. the way it's going now i'm expecting singed to be a lunatic who experiments on everyone he can get his hands on and jinx will just be a serial killer terrorrist (even though you guys stated she only kills if it looks like it'll be fun/a spectacle, the guy sitting on fireworks example).

Ps: This is how i see singed, if you do see him as a lunatic good for you.

Singed is definitely black n white evil tho, maybe not jinx she might be the result of shimmer abuse and severe mental health issues.

Singed on the other hand killed thousands of ionian and his own allies with gas bombs in rivens lore (and thats pretty evil)

Just because a character is clearly in the wrong or evil doesnt mean they're badly written it means the overall narative has a clear understanding of its theme. You wouldnt consider the Joker a bad character because you cant sympathize with his actions would you?

I dunno how you get this idea. I mean in the new Piltover lore we see that Zaun gets treated pretty badly by piltover,it looks far more like a victim of the circumstances than outright evil. If anything it was originally depicted in a far more sinister light,since it pretty much started as "evil Piltover" with champs like Singed DrMundo and Warwick being easily among the most evil champions of the early days.

In the new lore they do show some good sides of Zaun here and there,with Orianna meeting a group that volunteered to help the victims of an accident or Camille and the ill girl getting helped by the glorious evolved.

I always thought of singed as that villain who really enjoyed his line of work. Crazy, yes, lunatic, no. While I do like the heroes and definite villains, it's always a nice feeling of playing someone who has very questionable morals like Ahri and Dr. Mundo.

I never saw singed as a complete lunatic

Then you saw him wrong my friend, lol.

Singed isn't as out of this world insane as Dr. Mundo, but he's a callous and cruel monster.

I mean, it said in his lore that he named his Insanity Potion after his patron.......

so he's probably crazy but in this demented sort of "if this is the limit, how much can I push it" thing

Yeah, i hope they will keep Singed pretty gray. I've always seen him as the crazy scientist/alchemist who just want to try new things. He is just driven by the will to invent new mixture. But he doesn't really care about their effect, or if he cares, it's just in a scientific aspect.

He is more interested by the research and the discovery than by the goal of these.

He represent the spirit of ( Old ) Zaun : Science unchecked, without limits may it be moral or physical.

This type of character is interesting because their classification depends on our own moral compass.

Haven't read singes lore but from what I hear, he's maybe not a lunatic, but most definitely evil. Jinx on the other hand, there's no denying she's a lunatic. I mean, that's why I love her so much.
