It can be said that this is the first couple officially confirmed to have been in a relationship.

2. Graves and Twisted Fate
Before Leona and Diana were confirmed to be a couple, Graves and Twisted Fate themselves, when they first debuted, were themselves “father” who wrote their own plot that hinted at being a couple, not just a mere couple. just a companion. However, because there has not been any official confirmation from Riot Games, gamers only see the Graves TF boat as simply a boat rowed by fans. However, in June 2022 Riot Games decided to confirm the relationship of these two characters and the event that year created a wave of noise for a while with heated controversies breaking out in the community. copper.
3. Vi and Caitlyn
As the next couple confirmed by Riot Games themselves, but not in June but through the once-popular Arcane blockbuster. The couple themselves have had a lot of gamers ‘rowing’ for a long time because of their interesting interactions in the game, but it was only when Arcane came out that the relationship of these two characters became real. mode is confirmed. In addition, on Valentine’s Day this year, League of Legends has also officially launched the Lover skin line with the two main characters Vi and Caitlyn, and Amumu is just a male assistant.

In the short story that just came out, K’Sante mentioned a character called The Archer and was introduced as his ex-boyfriend. Due to personal reasons that K’Sante and this character broke up, K’Sante is currently on his own path with his own personal goals.

In case you don’t know, a polyamorous relationship is a relationship in which more than two people are involved. The people involved in this relationship all have special feelings for all the rest and all have the consent of the partners before entering this relationship. Today, some states in the US and some countries have recognized polyamorous relationships as a legal relationship and people in the relationship can register their marriage to each other.
6. Neeko
Since Neeko hasn’t debuted yet, there has been a lot of vague information about this girl being a lesbian. However, Riot Games has not yet had any officially confirmed information about this champion’s sexual orientation, so so far that information has only been seen as an information passed between fans. In addition, Neeko once lived with Nidalee and these two generals also had very interesting interactions on the Justice League.
7. Rell
Rell is said to be a bisexual, based on the lines that this general utters every time he meets or encounters a champion on the Arena of Justice. Specifically, Rell used to be extremely confused and shy when confronting Leona, Seraphine, Ekko and Sett. This shows that Rell herself can be attractive to both men and women so many gamers have dimly guessed that she belongs to the LGBTQ+ community very early on.
8. Taric
Perhaps Taric was one of the monuments representing the LGBTQ+ community very early on, but the image of this general was not very happy when he returned to Vietnam. Except for a part of the gaming community who see this general as an LGBT character, most fan pages or gamers mention Taric as well as the general’s sexual orientation with a rather joking tone, represents a gay character with a stereotypical ‘effeminate, feminine’ disposition.
There have been many rumors about Taric having feelings for Malzahar but these rumors have never been officially confirmed by Riot Games themselves. Currently, Taric’s appearance in LoL’s Pride Month 2023 image can only help us identify this champion in the LGBTQ+ community, but cannot label this character with any specific sexual orientation.
