this isn't about gameplay tho, it's strictly about lore and the possibilities they have with it (unless ofc it'ss about a new champ with a crappy kit and they are like "we kill him off and his replacement has a refined aka updated version of his predecessors kit")

I'm simply mentioning a possibility Riot has to make lore more interesting.

Sure people would be mad, but look at Gangplank. I wasn't happy with the whole GP gets reworked just to die and then come back different AGAIN thing. I would have preferred Captain GP as the regular one and I still think crippled GP looks way over the top....

What I want to say is... they CAN do it if they want to, and as long as it doesn't interfere wth Gameplay, we barely have any right to complain...I mean, they can always make it such a big announcement so nobody would be thrown off if a change, drastic as this, would happen
