League of Legends developer Riot Games released a whole lore story about its new champion, Neeko, today. The developer outlined Neeko’s history and how she got to where she is now. But there’s a piece of lore missing from her official story: She’s the game’s second gay champion. Fans have noticed that Neeko “seems to” like female champions more than male champions in her in-game quotes. Senior narrative writer Matt Dunn confirmed that Neeko is interested more in women, because she “identifies as a lesbian.”
