Excuse my shortness as I've already typed three long replies to each comment, then realizing that I wasn't signed in.

Trundle was perfectly fine and could have been used in another update, but they wanted a quick-fix for a Lissandra ally (which could have been essentially any of those champions). They got lazy and reworked things weird, such as the peaceful Volibear siding with the destructive Sejuani instead of the peaceful Ashe. Trundle was new and exciting, using his curse to attack you, but then they just made him ice. They have enough ice champions. Real creative, Riot.

Kayle and Morgana really don't fit as far as their backstories go. They came from another world where everyone is immortal and they fight a war. So how is this war won? Also they make mention of a confrontation between the sisters as potentially being the last. But they're immortal. All they have to do is make a small tweak and say that Kayle came from this other region beyond the Shadow Isles, where her sister and some other traitors were banished. Or maybe the previously uncorrupted Shadow Isles had people that saw justice and fled the coming corruption. The people live longer, tapped previously unfound magic which allowed for a greater sustain of life, Kayle was the best at it (thus her ultimate). The problems would then be solved. Hell, the altars could have been parents of the sisters, tying in even more lore of the Isles' past. The point is that this other world has to be left untouched because of the war, so they can't do anything with it. It's disjointed from League lore. They couldn't do anything with the other trolls of Trundle's backstory, because they were just normal trolls. Nothing special about them. Thus his rework.

As for Evelynn, Thresh could have taken Evelynn and corrupted her, making a dual bait for Lucian in the League of Legends. What gets me, however, is that he can't claim Lucian's soul while there, and the work he already did in breaking Lucian could be undone if Lucian were to destroy him even once. The only thing that could bring Lucian down further would be an accident in the League or the constant struggle against his enemy that never seemed to die. Unless he doesn't yet know that Evelynn is his beloved. That would come as quite the shock.

Regardless, they could do another major update that incorporates Kayle, Morgana, Lucian, Vayne, Thresh, Evelynn, and Vayne all into one storyline and get even more out of it.
