What if the host wanted the Darkin to use their body as a vessel to do good and consented to let the darkin take over about half of their body so that they could use some of the Darkin superhuman abilities. Opens up a lot of interesting character interaction because it takes a lot of trust to allow that.

Such a cool skinline. More unique skin lines please Riot or more lore friendly "alternate fantasy" skinlines. What if scenarios for champions. What if scenarios like a Kegan skin for Brand or "Ivern the Cruel" or pre-Caged Darkin (what did Aatrox, Rhaast and Varus look like as Ascended?)
Lay off on the futuristic skins for a while because League is becoming over saturated with them. Also final complaint Launch skins for Sylas and Neeko were both pulling double duty as event skins. I think that cheapens the launch skin for me as they tend to be very unique just look at Pyke, Kai'sa, Zoe and Ornns

Nothing was really "retconned" the bios were just shortened to a more strict word limit AND some storytelling was removed to make them more expository which is the point of the bio.
Lux still met Galio but that's a separate STORY from the BIO which should be about her solely but in it's current incarnation would have to jump from being about Garen and Galio to then being about the Illuminators and finally Sylas. It's Luxs' bio not Demacias' bio

If you ever do consider doing it, try to make it as a filter that can be enabled because it might mess with the clean aesthetic and the "scale of the map" if it's always turned on.

"Real world medicinal realism" is already an aspect of Runeterra. The Freljord is matriarchal because childbirth in such a frigid landscape is so daunting which is why the children come first and men serve the Warmother. It's explicitly stated that the Frostguard have so much influence over the tribes because they provide magical healing in their shamans that dramatically reduces the risks involved in childbirth. Of course Demacia doesn't use this magic and you think it wouldn't effect them when it clearly has effected the culture of another region????

I would say that's due to League of Legends (the game) having a lot going on at that time in general. Aatrox, Akali and Nunu released back to back to back with the Odyssey event getting shoved in there as well. My question is will this rate of lore activity continue regardless of there being a lot of launches going on the game. Sometimes it feels like the game is holding back stuff that we may be ready to see for some time now (cough Bandle City cough)

When they VU Caitlyn she could fill that niche. She's supposed to be a detective in the story. Her character in general is all over the place. Not just the wacky clothes, but she's a cop (Warden or whatever in the lore), but she's also a detective in her own time and she's a sniper which doesn't fit either of those fantasies. These three things aren't really linked. They should just rewrite her from the ground up and try to do something different without hurting Vi too much with the blow back

The only thing they could do to humanize him without making him schlocky is play off the fact that he is the bad guy who LOST.
Depict him before his fall as cruel but arrogant like a teenager that thinks themselves infallible or unkillable and then LeBlancs' betrayal wakes him up from that. Think about it, when the people of Valoran banded together and when they rose up against him, he went out and tried to 1 v 9 them because he knew he could just come back to life, laughing as they pierced him with blades and threw him on a pyre, ignorant of the fact Leblanc could turn on him. Knowing that he could have foresaw this turn of events if he just was more aware, Current day Mordekaiser is still evil and cruel, but doesn't do it to stroke his ego like he would before. He's cold, calculating and more efficient now ({{champion:50}} Much like his counterpart who usurped his previous empire). Mordekaiser is the bad guy who is capable of learning from his errors and he isn't going to make the same mistake twice when he returns for Noxus.
He can be like a reverse Aatrox. Instead of falling from grace and falling further Mordekaiser pulls himself up.
Riot characterizes their characters in a way that good and evil don't matter because motivations are more complex and their is more under the surface. IMO making him pure evil just cuz would be just as bad as trying to make Morde a good guy (Which would just be confusing) because now they're just playing safe with the character by making him "Muhahahahah" because that's what players expect. Don't deliver exactly what players expect that's boring, identify the range of what makes sense from player expectation and then push it in an interesting direction that's just a little different.

He's still going to be an evil warlord that subjucated tribes in Valoran. Noxus lore surrounding the Immortal Bastion, {{champion:7}} lore and more recently {{champion:45}} updated lore will root him in that.

That's wrong. On Reddit during the Aatrox AMA it was stated the Ascended are more powerful because the ritual they use takes more celestial power direct from the source than an Aspect allows his host to have

I disagree mainly on the back that people are assuming that Atreus was the focus of Pantheons' story because he is important and NOT considering that he might only exist so Riot doesn't have to write about Pantheon himself and be forced to reveal details that they may not be ready to reveal about Targon Prime.
I think Atreus is a writing construct intended to obfuscate what Pantheon is really about. Nothing more.
I find the more interesting parts of Pantheon to be about his disdain for individuality and how his methods of preying on the mind puts him in parallel with the Void. They're cut from the same cloth because they use the same methods to spread their influence. Which leads the audience to ask who should we actually be afraid of? Targon or The Void.

Targon: Celestials and Aspects, Solari ({{champion:89}} ), Rakkor ({{champion:80}} ) and Lunari ({{champion:131}} ). Targon is more complicated because religion is at the core of the region

Targon probably assisted Shurima in defeating the Void after the Fall of Icathia. It's at that time that Pantheon and Aatrox probably got to know each other. Later on Pantheon spearheaded the effort to unite mortals in defeating the Darkin after the Fall of Shurima and they started fighting each other.
Also Aatrox was probably aware that Pantheon wasn't mortal much in the same way he knows about the Aspect of Twilight not being mortal
