Absolutely every single piece of Demacian lore or character backgrounds are about how they hate magic. It's boring and generic, they have become the "They're actually the real bad guys!!!" stereotype. It's just as bad as when they were the generic good guys.

Can we possibly, maybe, just a little bit, have some lore about Demacia that isn't about magic? Or is the kingdoms lore so one-dimensional now that we can't have any other interesting facts about it that doesn't revolve around magic?

Once the blatant favoritism for Bilgewater and Noxus ends... maybe.

Yeah, Riot is pushing this plot thread a bit much.

... I mean, Poppy isn’t related to mages at all.

The communist vs capitalist angle makes no sense for Demacia heh. I mean, they didn’t even just go for pure mage oppressed but they went for a weird communist political angle which is way more fitting for a character from Zaun because Piltover was always about that elitist merchants and keeping the poor down. When I watched Sylas’s trailer I was like are you sure this is not a Zaun champion?

But there will be a deeper meaning to Demacia because the welathy there are also magically gifted so there will be more in depth stories coming imo.. And there isnt actually wrong with them having such a stance even tho it seems unreasonable but sometimes fear of something may be unreasonable to the outsider looking in but not to the insider looking out (especially out into the magical world outside of demacias borders)
