Cocky, edgy, doing everything "not by the book" and killing noxians

This is the level of thought I expect from the community.

How in the hell is Kled edgy? He's more like a crazy cartoon character. That's like call Yosemite Sam edgy.

Its funny that 2 of those are Noxians

Well, let's see... Akali finds the discipline and balance of the Kinkou too restraining since there's plenty of wrong in the world, and "upholding balance" doesn't quite cut it, so she strikes out on her own to be a vigilante ninja and protect Ionia her own way.

Irelia is less of "not by the book" and more of "old tradition lost to new circumstances". The old, peaceful ways of Ionia made them fairly easy prey for Noxus, and when Irelia took a stand, it wasn't just to say "I don't like how we do things now, let's kill some Noxians", it was more to call into question "Look, peace is great and all, but we're kinda getting our asses handed to us. Kinda gotta fight back here."

Kayn...I mean, clearly, he seems to go by a book. He follows the doctrine of the Order of Shadow pretty damn well, and he's driven by his aspirations to show Zed his worth, and Noxus his wrath.

And Kled......Is he actually considered as edgy? And what book does he have to go by? It's his land, and these damn Noxians are squatting where they don't belong.

Plus, I don't think Irelia counts as edgy, unless I'm somehow missing something from her lore and quotes.

he was betrayed by noxus and started killing their chem-barons in zaun.

Pretty much every champ in this game is cocky, they have good reason to be.

How the heck are Irelia and Kled edgy?

The entire conflict in Ionia is LITERALLY 'do we kill the Noxians or hold onto our traditions', of course there's a lot of Ionian champions that wanna kill Noxians and plenty that don't go by the book (ie tradition). And Kled kills Noxus' enemies a LOT more than other Noxians.

KLED IS A LOYAL NOXIAN!!!! he literally fought in the noxian army during the invasion of Ionia!!
