* The Worldender expansion doesn't shy away from revealing that every Darkin, sans Xolaani, would ''gladly'' welcome [[CessationOfExistence oblivion]] if it were at all possible, and that the war they start is basically a protracted mass-SuicideByCop, [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds hoping that by creating a war on such apocalyptic scales]], forces [[GodzillaThreshold beyond mortal ken will be unleashed against them]] - exactly the kind of powers they hope can actually ''end'' them.
* Joraal is a darkin with tragedy surrounding him like all the others, but between his "weapon" being his Aegis and his voicelines, his existence is that much more tragic: He stood against the Void for countless years, using his NighInvulnerability to defend others, and to this day the Aegis containing him is is barely scratched because what broke in the end wasn't his shield or armor, but his ''[[ShellShockedVeteran mind]]''. Even in his dormant state, flavor text reveals that those who can hear his voice don't hear the tempting voices of the other darkin yearning for hosts, they hear a voice that's past the DespairEventHorizon and practically sobbing BrokenTears.
-->'''Joraal's flavor text:''' A mighty Ascended tactician known as the Aegis of Eternity, Joraal seemed impervious to attack, even for the immortal god-warriors of Shurima. But the war against the Void raged on, and as resilient as Joraal's body was, it was his mind that broke. And ''how'' it broke.

* The story of [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Jun,_the_Prodigy_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Jun, the Prodigy]], is simply ''cruel''. One of Master Yi's beloved apprentices, [[BrokenAce she was already doubtful of her ability to fight for Ionia]], which tragically came to a head during Kayn's attack on the Wuju temple, where she was left bloodied and wounded. In her vulnerable desperation, she ended up becoming tempted by [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/The_Darkin_Bloodletters_(Legends_of_Runeterra) the Darkin Xolaani]] -- [[TemptingFate promising her the power and immortality]] -- and in accepting her power, [[DemonicPossession Jun was entirely hijacked]]. Yi sounds ''really'' shaken to see his student perish in the way she does.

* [[CainAndAbel Nasus and Renekton]] exist in the game, and as expected, virtually all interactions between them are either bittersweet or just outright heartbreaking. For the first time, it also shows a possibility that beyond [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight Nasus trying to save his brother from his own madness]], ''[[AxCrazy Renekton]]'' may truly have love for Nasus after all... and that's when he's killed while on the same side.

* Ekko's a lot more upbeat than the mostly serious version of him seen in ''League of Legends'', but [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness this sharply drops whenever he interacts with Vi or Jinx]]. Especially with ''WesternAnimation/Arcane'' clearing up [[DarkAndTroubledPast what happened to them in the past]], it really hurts hearing how shaken and mournful he is seeing them in their current states.
