Contrasted to Piltover, Zaun is a city of survivors and grit, where citizens adapt to the harsh conditions through ingenuity and pushing ethical boundaries in dangerous and chaotic streets. Though it is ruled by crime lords and gangs, it's a place of resilience and creativity as the residents have learned to be resourceful and driven by necessity, creating many inventions that the over city often exploits.
FAVE CHAMPIONS
Who are the staff cheering for? Check out our staff's fave characters.
Caitlyn
Caitlyn shows a great strength of will and understanding, something many of the Piltover residents seem to lack. She is caring and compassionate, and attempts to make changes for the good. I loved watching her character learn, adapt, and change through the season. Her relationship with Vi is fun to watch as both characters grow and take on the world together.

Vi
She goes through so much but is still such a badass and you just want to root for her. Her relationships with Jinx and Cailtyn push and pull her in different directions and ultimately challenge her to draw a line in the sand and take a side. I'm very excited to see how her decisions in season one affect those relationships in season two.
