This Changes Everything Emote
"I thought maybe you could love me like you used to. Even though I'm... different. But you changed too. So, here's to the new us."

In Dev Update - Champs, Lore & More, Laura 'poisonpixxi' DeYoung, Head of IP Creative for Riot Games, elaborated on their new approach to narrative cohesiveness by ironing out any inconsistencies that have sprung up over the years.

This article contains information that conflicts with this new narrative and will most likely be changed/moved in the following year(s).

▶️  "A city, choking in the Chem-Barons' grasp."
Urgot Urgot
Separator

The Chem-Barons of Zaun Crest icon Zaun are a group of brutal crime lords who each control a portion of the undercity. A loose criminal alliance of landlords, factory owners, mob bosses, and business tycoons, the chem-barons use their deep pockets and hired muscle to keep the denizens of Zaun in line and prevent the undercity from devolving into chaos. While this pact between the barons has given their researchers and inventors the leeway to push the bounds of their experiments at an accelerated rate, it has also caused the city to be run more like a corrupt corporate business than a fair society of law and order.
