Okay, I honestly expected that this page would be full of ragers about the latest relore of Varus but... DAMN! This is a lot smaller than I expected.

On a lighthearted note, I'm actually plesantly surprised Riot made that leap. I actually expected them to follow suit since Blizzarf revealed Tracer to be lezby (Which stinks because I wanted it to be Reaper. You didn't hear that from me). But while I'm happy, I'm actually kinda pissed off beucase they chose Varus. Why the helll not make a new gay Champion? (But I have no problem if they let Ezreal and Taric out of the closet. You didn't hear that from me) Someone who's dealing with the same real issues as LGBT suffer in the real world but who's still badass enough to help a society that shuns him? Eh, eh? Doesn't that make it a whole lot better? Besides, who the hell cares about Varus anyway? Is he even in the meta?

On a critical note, I'm raging with the new lore and the freakling comic made me angrier. I was like, "WHOA! Their love story was a lot smoother than I imagined. That's like so many flags raised at once. They've gone home and introduces his lover to his family. It went smoothly. Ionia's pretty open-minded, eh? Accepts gay couples faster than they could accept chimeric people who've they been starving of magic? Oh, there it is. He's warned of impending doom by the same bitch who tells him the freaking well has some sort of restorative power! KILL THAT WHORE! Walks out with all the grace of a teenager with hormones, angst and rebel attitude. Cue in the Noxians. Oh, look, his lover's stabbed. Didn't see that one coming. Good one, Riot. He went full-on rage mode like any toxic gamer in LoL. Yadda, yadda, yadda... He leaps to the well with his lover. Gets possessed, gets remade. Bitch went full-on yandere. *skips* DAFUQ IS THIS?! HIS FREAKING FAMILY'S STILL ALIVE?! HOW MANY FREAKING PEOPLE DID NOXUS SEND?! TEN?!"

Where's the substance? Where's the pull? I would've accepted it if Val lost both his lover and his family to make the whole Arrow of Vengeance work. I find myself pitying the damn Darkin in this. It would be a better twist as Val's hate makes him more susceptible to the Darkin's advances, all the whiile this make's Kai's compassionate voice weaker and weaker as he sought out vengeance. Until the day that Kai is no longer there at all, Val gets corrupted, loses himself entirely and the Darkin wins and takes over fully. But nnnoooooooooooo... Val gets to be an yandere and he gets to see his mother in the end and promises a heartfelt vow of redemption that filled me with cringe.
