Why aren't Lucian and Vayne friends?

I always wondered why is it that the two most similar champs not friends?

Vayne and Lucian are both Demacian monster hunting ADCs whom have lost their loved ones to the things they now hunt, Vayne hunts presumably evil mages, and Lucian hunts the undead, which overlaps with the mages seeing as how undead are created from foul dark magic, and many are evil mages themselves.

Despite this they have no interaction with each other both lore wise and in game.

EDIT: The only slight interraction they have is they share a skin line; heartseeker.

I was expecting a "I smell black magicks" joke

They probably haven't run into each other yet. Valoran is a big place.

Vayne's too edgy to have friends.

I'd love to have hot chocolate with Lucian though.

or Lucian's hot chocolate

Because she hates black magic.

Sukishoo1/20/2017, 7:49:08 PM4 votes

I ship Vayne with Lucian... I have problems...

I could make so many questionable jokes, but I'll save that for later.

Vayne most likely questions Lucian's sanity, since he seems quite obsessed with killing Thresh and all, and that's bad for business.

Other than that...Black mageeks

Vayne and Lucian don't know each others in League I guess , and even it might be the case Vayne hunt alone . She have no ally in her track and she don't want it.Vayne

Because they're both moody antisocial monster hunters. They would make an amazing team, but I don't think Lucian would be able to get over himself enough to work with another (especially a strong woman, hits too close to home), and Vayne would not have time for his angst.

Maybe there could be potential lore for them to interact in maybe a Demacian monster-hunting task force. I'm hoping we get a Demacia event with Galio's rework and a Demacian new champion.

They're both antisocial fucks...

While they do both pursue the same style of enemies (aka black magic style monsters) it doesn't necessarily mean they agree.

A really quick example that comes to mind that is rather popular is bleach's shinigami vs the quincy. Hunting targets are identical, but bitter rivals because of their beliefs on how to defeat them/treat them.

I guess no one watched the heartseeker quinn and lucian interaction recalls to know who actually is interested in lucian lawl

vayne seems like she'd rather stay confined to urban environments (since she's basically batman), whereas lucian goes out and hunts across valoran (as seen in shadow and fortune), so there's a reason they haven't met

Batman and the Punisher fly solo, that's why.
