Mel was taught balance (the fox and wolf) but chose peace and was exiled | Zed was taught balance but chose violence and was exiled

Mel was gifted with light | Zed embraced the shadows

Mels mother played a key part in starting the Ionian invasion | Zeds adoptive father led the largest resistance organization after leaving the Kinkou

Mel killed her mother, who had lost herself in her mission | Zed killed his adoptive father, who had lost himself in his mission

Mel had golden tattoos etched into her skin that are symbolic of protection and her power | Zed etched his skin with black ichor, presenting as the source and a symbol of his power

Mels powers are rooted in being an empath (as stated by Leblanc) | Zeds use of shadow ichor amplifies his worst emotions (as stated by Shen in the ZED comic)

Both are part of warring factions in the middle of inner turmoil.

Both are leaders in their respective environments: Mel, the matriarch of House Madarda, and Zed, the Master of the Order of Shadows.

Mel believes in peace talks and diplomacy, contrary to Noxus's violent expansionist culture. Zed believes Ionians should shed their strict outlooks on pacifism and recognize violence is needed and action comes first.

Leblanc killed Mel's brother, causing Mel's family to spiral downwards | Leblanc incited Darkwill to invade Ionia, pushing the final button that would lead to Zeds abandonment of the Kinkou and the stable familial relationship he had with Kusho and Shen.

They are practically two sides of the same coin

also a not so important fact, both have 3 letter names with an e in the middle

and they both share a black, grey, gold, and red color palette

Syndra- Imprisoned by Ionia's spirit against her will for thousands of years

Yunara- Self-imposed isolation in the spirit realm for thousands of years

Yone- Yanked from the spirit realm to roam Ionia as a hybrid demon hunter until he solved his own demon problem

The negative energy Syndra releases has to be like a lighthouse for Azakana and other demons, and Yone and Yunara follow the trail of demons straight to her.

They all have unique interactions with the spirit world.

Yone is probably like walking PTSD for Yunara(her voice line for Yone and that Darkin followers wore "oni masks" as their signature)

Syndra has to be a flashbang for the type of people Yone finds haunted

Yunara has a unique perspective that could help form a connection with Syndra.

Merch leaked showing very blurred designs for K/DA's return as well as confirmation that HEARTSTEEL will be returning as well with new skins.

We are getting Jean Grey as an Avenger before the concept of the X-men even exist in their main timeline

This will surely spark civil discussion

Our last skin was chosen by Faker and came out September 10th 2025.

11 months ago.

The last skin Riots skins team gave Yone of their own free will was Masked Justice on February 20th 2025.

18 months ago.

We are almost a year without a skin, and almost 2 years without a riot skin team skin, despite Yone being considered a popular champion.

So either Yone magically is not popular anymore sales wise, or we are getting something big.

What comes out first, the MMO or the next animated show?

On top of being the current Black Panther in his timeline, he has a very advanced form of lighting generation and manipulation as his mutant power.

The character currently exists on Earths -10943 and -555326

Talon might also be depending on if you think Katarina is in her late 20's or early 30's

But still, only 3/4 male late teen/young adult champions in the entire games history makes you wonder why they avoided that age group.
