i found the kayn tweet. i like the implication that the eastern part of the noxian empire is central asia coded, be it because it's always been like that, or if it was ever ( or still is ) part of ionia and it's something noxus acquired through conquest and expansion; because runeterra takes a lot of heavy inspiration from our world and geography ( as many fantasy elements do, because where else could it come from, you know. as we all know, fantasy geography and politics are very much inspired from real life things ).
but given michael and odin wrote him to be half white and half asian ( i choose to not say hapa here because i want to say hapa is exclusive for hawaiians, similarly as hafu is like for half japanese folk ), geographically it makes sense.
anyways i'm yapping and no one cares but my point is that ethnic representation in league of legends is actually so important to me and i will be very loud about any champion but sivir reminded me of this tweet too because like wdym people are using indian actresses for an egyptian character's face claim. yikes! when i say soo la voo this is not what i mean!
