While Hwei is a far more virtuous and compassionate guy than Jhin, it's clear that his sense of empathy and emotional understanding collides very poorly with the trauma he's endured -- with how tired and wistful much of his dialogue is, it's clear the poor guy really needs a hug.

* Veigar is a massive WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds. A yordle who wanted to learn celestial magic, he joined a band of Noxian mages, only for them all to be slaughtered by Mordekaiser when he began his conquest. He was then imprisoned in solitude (said to be a FateWorseThanDeath for yordles), cursed to be unable to return to Bandle City, and finally forced to perform dark magic for Mordekaiser for centuries until it warped his body and mind. Even when Mordekaiser was defeated, Veigar had forgotten too much of his former self to fully escape. [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Veigar His character profile]] claims he craves safety and freedom, but only remembers evil and so tries to gain the respect of others by becoming an evil warlock.

%%* There are several ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' champions that get in on this, but special mention should be made of Amumu the Sad Mummy. He wakes up with no memory of his previous life other than that he missed his parents, and even after joining the League, he can't make friends because of a curse on him that makes him give off an aura of palpaple depression. And then there's his kit in the fields of justice. He gives hugs to people, he cries when they run away, he gets angry when they try to hurt him, and his curse, which he has no control over; passively lowers their magic resist and freezes them in place. He's not fighting at all. He's just trying to make friends and it's causing people around him to die! Makes you just want to hug the poor kid...

* Yasuo grew up desperate to prove himself to those who thought he was worthless. When his GlorySeeker tendencies got the better of him one night and he abandoned his elder, he was MisBlamed when the man was found dead. He ran, killing those who came after him. Years later, he cleared his name, but the weight of what he had done was so great that he couldn't forgive himself, and when no one he'd wronged would grant him [[DeathEqualsRedemption a redeeming death]], he left Ionia entirely. He is last seen heading for Bilgewater with Ahri, with slim hope of finding any more purpose or happiness there.

Commenting out Skarner's entry until someone rewrites it in a way that actually explains his backstory.
Added DiffLines:
* Amumu. The poor little guy's ''cursed'' to a lonely existence due to his TouchOfDeath, yet he continues to wander Runeterra in search for kinship. No wonder he's called the "''Sad'' Mummy".
* Yorick's entire family is long dead, all traces of his life are long gone, and he's been trying to finally pass on for hundreds of years to no avail. His backstory just makes you feel incredibly sorry for the poor guy.
** Made even worse by the reason Yorick can't pass on - he left no heirs, and as such his family name has been forgotten. [[FridgeBrilliance This is why one of his movement quotes is "You will remember Yorick Mori."]]
** His rework somehow cranks this UpToEleven; the last surviving monk of a religious order that was all but wiped out when a certain fateful accident struck the Blessed Isles, Yorick now spends his existence fighting the monsters of the Shadow Isles in the hopes of cleansing his home of this evil, with only his summoned undead and various spirits for company.
%%* Skarner. In his judgement you will just feel sorry for the guy.
* Riven deserves a mention. After what she went through leading up to her exile from Noxus, it's hard not to see why she left and went on the path to atonement.
* Yasuo, for similar reasons as Riven's. Even after the true cause of his Elder's death comes to light and reveals that 1. Yas had nothing to do with it, and 2. it was no assassination, just an accident, he walks away ''broken'', convinced he's the real guilty party because he wasn't there to prevent the accident.
* Nautilus. Being left for dead sucks. Being left for dead while being dragged down by some kind of sea monster sucks more. Waking up on the friggin' ocean floor to find that you've been totally abandoned and that your suit has fused to your skin sucks even more than that. Making your way to land and finding that not only is your mind going, but that there are ''absolute zero traces of your existence'' really, really sucks. Poor dude.
