Do we really expect more than just one dimensional characters out of Riot? I like the actual lore of the game but when it comes to characters it's like they just go to a cliche generator. There's not really anything wrong with that, a cliche done well is still a good character, but when they're done bad, it's extra bad.

Bard and Tahm were extremely cool, something out of this world that really went against what you expect out of a League champion. Bard's lore sucks. It can literally be summarized as "who knows what the fuck Bard is", but the character itself is interesting enough that you can overlook it, and Tahm is just a badass with his quotes and silk smooth voice and hat.

Kindred was kind of better than most, with the interesting talks they'd have during death and overall feel of the character, not to mention that story about them actually invested me in their characters. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/good-death.

Nasus is also pretty cool, with questioning his own actions and the fate of shurima.

Still, while I can name a few examples, it pales in comparison to the number of characters that have absolutely no depth to them. It's honestly a problem that I think should be adressed and wouldn't take any time at all to do. Like, just have someone write small little stories, that are cannon, that depict the other sides of characters. So for example, have Ahri comfort a child that's sitting all alone, or Graves buy Yasuo a drink, or maybe have Sejuania grow attached to someone that she eventually gives up for their own good. Little scenes like that could go a long way toward character building.

I just want more lore to not just the world but the characters, and it's cool to see them trying new things. I may not of liked Illaoi's character but damn if it wasn't awesome to see all the tentacles.

I wish Udyr said that.
