Talk:Soraka/Background/@comment-11154984-20130622083137

I'm a fan of the new lore, being a new player and fairly unfamiliar with the old lore. Reading both hers and WW's, they both seem pretty plausible to me - he was a hunter. You know, like a wolf? He needed to trap his pray, and like many predators, deception was a brutally effective tool of choice, tailored to the weakness of the prey.

In the old lore, I didn't really understand WHY he was a werewolf, like her curse just picked a random affliction out of a hat. Now he has a backstory that suits his appearance. As for Soraka, both seem sorta iffy, but the old one was waaaaaay too deus ex for me. "I decided that I wanted super powerful star magic. So I found some! But now it's gone because I needed to use it..." - nutshell. Now she's shifted from more of a marvel-esque background to a DC one - she was just a regular starchild, one of many, nothing special, but she broke the rules and was forced to leave. 200x more believable and less contrived.
