I'd like to know who designs the character backgrounds for LoL champs. Some of these characters look like they've been designed by a focus group attempting to target every nerd in existence.

Take Ezreal, for example, he's basically some combination of a Final Fantasy and DBZ character. His backdrop is a "boy who goes exploring", this is every anime-thing ever rolled into one champ.

Tristana is even scarier. Her backstory is literally the backstory one of my friends in college had for her LARP group (replace gunner with archer and megling with half-elf and you're there). They even got the lesbian part right.


Yeah and who doesnt like boobs? ^^

Tristana is a lesbian? o.O


Read the backstory part with Teemo. This eerily resembles people I know from college.

To be fair, the part with Teemo has been retconned like 4 different times since the champions came out. IIRC at one point the story was that they were in a relationship, but Teemo threw a hissy fit and dumped her when she got accepted into the League and he didn't.


The fact that these backstories change/get updated/retconned is complete news to me. The current one for Tristana is definitely written to appeal to this lesbian LARPer demographic (I can vouch that such a group is large enough to warrant it). LARPers, or more generally just role players, have a number of character archtypes that appear at those kinds of events, and Riot has similar generic every-heros for the more common ones (Trist, Riven, Poppy). I'm not much of a lore nerd, but so many of these backstories seem way too aimed at people I know for me to stop reading right now.

E: Surprise party fiddle is the best skin. So many people buying it only to then immediately go 1/10 with fiddle every game.


But Teemo's a dude.

Also they really like to have sibling pairs. Currently up to one set of brothers, one set of sisters, one set of brother and sister, with 1 more to come (apparently Irelia has a brother)

I thought katarina/cassiopeia were siblings too. So that'd be 2 sets of sisters.

Kat and cassiopia are sisters? Thats news to me.

They also like the "arch enemy" pairs

ie
kat vs garen
swain vs jarman
graves vs twisted fate
gangplank vs miss fortune
renekton vs nasus (again)

That's why Gabe Newell's "Action RTS" term is probably better.


Wouldn't RTS - micro battle be more appropriate?

And not in any way in a relationship with Tristana in the current backstory. Their relationship was retconned out of existence according to a poster earlier in the thread (have no idea if this is true).

Apparently he knew girls with short hair and small breasts who like to shoot stuff from college. =P
