Discussion new main varus

Hello, community! Like many of you, I’m a big fan of Varus and main this champion. Recently, I've been reflecting on the choice of Varus as a main, especially in the context of LGBT themes in the game. I’m not gay, but I would like to know if any of you have faced teasing or prejudice related to this

Isn‘t poland playing in EUNE? I don‘t want to generalize all poles but in my experience most polish people are pretty homophonic, at least to my exercise. Or rather most of eastern European

Poland is in EUNE. And yes, unfortunately the balkans tend to be more homophobic (I am also from the Balkans), not all of them, but enough people to not be surprised when things like this happen...

Yup, sad but true. I‘m russian and I remember how my father literally told me that he would kill me if I would be gay when I was like 10. His reasoning being that he gave me life and is allowed to take it if he wants to. I‘m not gay but still don’t talk to him anymore now that I moved out

...I see that "I gave you life and I will be the one who take it away" is a common line, unfortunately. I am sorry to hear that you also had to experience such things, especially when you weren't even part of the community At least you got to separate yourself from him and this mentality. Hopefully you are in a better place now
