I really love all the big faction updates BUT

When are we going to get to the folks who don't have reasons to exist in the game space anymore since their previous lore was retconned with the removal of the League of Legends?

Jax, Morgana, Kayle, Fiddlesticks and Malphite are all floating in the story-less void that has been around for what, a year or so now?

I know the prevailing process is to give folks new stories with updates but none of these folks are anywhere near the update list (tbh they are all fairly decent candidates for at least visual updates imo, different rant tho) and it would be great for these folks to have decent reasons to exist again.

Jax isn't far away from the update list. He's an eggplant that thwacks things to death with a stick. He's been cited as being feast or famine, with a severely outdated kit design that relies too heavily on jacking his AS through the roof and really doing nothing but make him a ball of stats who basically makes enemies stat check against him to determine if they'll win. He's just like Irelia, and Riot has said that she is someone they are eyeballing due to similar issues.

The universe site at least changed their lores to not include the institute of war anymore. Sure in some cases you can be pretty sure that its still just a placeholder,but its at least something.

Jax has a new short-story that ties him to Icathia, and thus makes him an enemy of the Void.

Fiddlesticks has one too; he perpetually slaughters wanderers, bandits, and mercenaries that spend the night in his field. He presumably is related to the same source as Nocturne and Shaco (Listed as related champions).

Malphite, we know, must be some sort of giant elemental. A rioter commented that, in lore, he's literally the size of a mountain.

Morgana and Kayle will likely be VU'd together, and get proper updates then.

I'm hoping they elaborated on the Darkin backstory that's been hinted at forever

I hate to burst your bubble but there isnt any new Darkin lore. But the good news is Riot had confirmed there is Aatrox lore heavily in the works.

The only reason I can think as to why they haven't expanded his lore sooner is because of the Piltover/Zaun lore update that's going on ATM.

If they're going to make Jax more skill based then Xin Zhao shouldn't exist.
