Are you guys seeing a ton of DH Karthus? It seems insanely popular on OCE at the moment.

Karthus will constantly stack DH throughout the game due to the nature of his kit, even if he's not doing well, so his R turns into an unavoidable half health nuke for a lot of champs. It helps that double mage botlanes are making a comeback due to most ADCs, with the exception of Lucian/Draven/Kai'Sa, being total dogshit.

it is pretty funny if youre gay and confused to why riot's best idea for gay (male) representation is two dudes and a bow fused into a mediocre adc.

Hmm I always assumed this thread was doing a weird comedy bit or at the very least exaggerating in some way whenever Varus's rewritten backstory would come up but this last round prompted me to actually go read it and huh, he actually is two gay guys and an evil bow. That is some wild poo poo

They've been pussyfooting around a relationship between Diana and Leona for years and randomly decided "hmm let's retcon the guy with a wife and kid and turn him into a gay couple"

The reasoning is because nobody was invested in the wife or kid because he didn't mention it in-game like Lucian does. New Varus doesn't mention he's two guys either. I can't even tell you the names of either guy.

I can still go even further than that, who is even aware that Kassadin is Kai'Sa's father

No, Kindred is the world's personification of death that got lonely and cut himself in half. They're spirits so I don't think they can actually have gender but Lamb is one half and referred to as "she" generally while Wolf is the other half and referred to as "he."

I recommend actually reading their fluff; they are a very good personification of death, I think. Lamb takes those that stoically accept their death and don't try to avoid it. Her way out is the calmer, less painful one. Wolf goes after those that try to run or resist and he brutally rips them apart.

From a gameplay standpoint you really play Lamb who can summon Wolf with abilities.

AFAIK Leona/Diana has always been a fanbase thing + Diana being a lesbian according to her designer. It's never been said Leona isn't straight (and in fact it probably makes for a stronger theme for Diana if she is). Doesn't take away from Varus being a really silly way to do a gay champion tho

neeko is as close as they've come to doing a queer character right: character queer, so what

varus was almost certainly "we'll let you release some fiction tangentially mentioning queerness but we're not going to support it in the game in case there's significant blowback"

She's good as one of the few remaining hyperscalers that doesn't get absolutely clobbered past midgame due to her ability to build Banshee's/Zhonya's without a loss in effectiveness. A major part of the issue with non-early ADCs is that defensive itemization is severely limited, especially if you're dependent on crit, which makes you highly vulnerable to divers unless your team is built around keeping you alive. Kai'Sa has the ability to play around that a lot better with R and Banshee's/Zhonya's compared to her contemporaries, since she spikes surprisingly hard off of only Stormrazor + Guinsoo's.
