Realistically, what do you think is the best case scenario for the Sylas game in terms of story, REALISTICALLY?
The BEST case scenario, I think, is that it will focus on his abuse at the hands of the Mageseekers, and his own mounting realization at what's being done to him. It'll focus on his disillusionment and mounting misery and what he's being made to do, and will depict the Mageseekers fully as, y'know, the eugenicist Magic Gestapo that they are.
I doubt it'll have the stones to condemn Demacia as a nation outright, nor its government. And I fear that it won't be able to resist pulling the "few bad apples" shit with the Mageseekers also. Like, there will be some typical Good Cops™ among them who are sympathetic and nice, and gosh don't you know some of these mages are scary and dangerous, maybe having some kind of magic police to control them is very important and good actually, maybe we shouldn't condemn the whole Mageseeker organization urble burble slurp slurp oh my god these boots taste so GOOD
Honestly, so long as they just manage to avoid the antisemitic tropes around persecuting minorities over the practise of magic, I'll breathe a sigh of relief, but Riot is a neoliberal capitalist American company and it shows in their creative output. Centrism is their default state of being, and they've already shown a proclivity for both-sides'ing the Demacia storyline, so if they pull a Dragon Age here I will not be surprised.
