When you realize that the only reason why Aatrox screams so much is because he is terrified of not being heard, the only reason he kills is out of pure despair and in search of the slightest grim of hope that maybe someone can destroy him and his blade, and when you realize that the reason why he has so many quotes in the 3rd person is because he's afraid of being alone... such a sad character, From The strongest Hero That has been born, to a Betrayed Madman who has lost hope even in death, carried now only by his former pride...Also the thing about the “Fight or be forgotten” line is… Old Aatrox told this to his enemies. New Aatrox tells this to himself. If he stop fighting, he reverts into prison… In the dark, hungry, unable to breath, unable to scream… Just a sword, buried and… Forgotten.
@@firstofficer296 nop, It just means that he believes that if he ends all life the his will end too, or that at some point he will find an enemy strong enough to actually kill him, alltho if he could ever get close to Zoe to stab her (unlikely) he'd probably kill the aspect of twilight and the verse would be phucked anyway😅
Varus. V-A-R-U-S. There was supposed to be an A and then another A. There was a memo, Varus, there was a memo... I chose a blade, the most noble of all weapons, you I seriously do not understand. Were you trapped in the gardening-section? We all agreed on the double a-thing Varus. The double a-thing?
Some of his lines really hit different! You can tell he despises what he has become. For Rhaast tho.. it's something else haha, seems like he's enjoying the carnage. And there's a lot of banter between the 2 in the voicelines! 😂
The scythe joke at the end was an obvious reference to Rhaast lol. I was surprised they didn't cover it with the other interactions but the guy put them in the end with the bloopers haha.
@@yareyaredaz3522 Indeed they do! In Kayn's Odyssey skin, one of their lines implies Rhaast has been alone on a backwater planet for untold millenias. It's a unique dynamic and why I love the champion this much!
As a Aatrox main, I hear these quotes in game every game all game and they still give me shivers, he is just the best voiced character and he is so fun to play
The Darkin lore is indeed interesting. I don't know all of it myself but most League community members know that they were once Ascended God Warriors of Shurima. Their ascended bodies made them very resistant to anything, but their minds got corrupted by fighting the Void, so now they seek to destroy and corrupt (at least Aatrox and Rhasst do, prob same for Varus, or should I say, Vaarus xD).
I don’t know if this is still true, but Varus is a special case. Because he was merged with the two hunters, their personalities warped him somewhat. Aatrox and Rhaast possess their wielder and their personality remains separate from their host, but Varus tried to possess two, so their personalities could fight back together much better, leaving the three all tangled up. So instead of one possessing one, it’s three merged together. I believe. I could be totally wrong though! 😂
@@FizzyWM We don't know yet if Rhaast dominates Kayn! I'm a Blue Kayn main after all hehe ;) But yeah makes sense for Varus, the part where he took in disciples with bows was shocking.
Great reaction Little side notes to aatrox voice lines. The reason he often yells is because he was trapped in this empty prison, where he was isolated so long. That never anyone replied to him, so he started screaming in hope he might scream loud enough that his voice might get heard at any point. And he often talk in third person about himself, or the flesh. Because he feels like he already died when he lost his glories status as a god warrior and got trapped. So he feels so disconnected from himself, it’s almost like he’s trying to convince himself he is some else just overlooking this creature that’s called aatrox, since he can’t stand the shame of his downfall. And he can’t take the thought, that he accually could have fallen so deep. Also don’t forget that even if aatrox builds a pile of corpses which he forms to look like his old body. Or as close as he gets with it. His conciseness is still within the sword, so if he sais move flesh move. He is accually commading the flesh made body like a vehicle or tool while still being captured inside the sword. With the only difference of having his senses like seeing hearing and feeling the outside world through the flesh he controls. Also the reason why he yells I am immortal, and I can’t die. Or cut justice of me is often so misunderstood. He’s not mocking his foes, he is pissed that no one he ever met is capable of killing him. Since he only wants his suffering to end and die. But he can’t since he’s cursed with immortality. So the inability of anyone being able to kill him drives him mad and pisses him off.
Yes, thank you for reacting 🙏. You got it spot on when you said he's like a fallen angel/fallen god. That's why I enjoy his character so much. I can't wait to see more league reactions from you. Keep up the good work 🫡
@@StopMeOh#Fandom Darkin MEMBERS page Certainly some of them were killed during Twilight of the Gods, mostly those who didn't have Double aa, but also some survived Naganeka or Valeeva. The Riot MMO uses Legends of Runeterra as its world-builder, it's been confirmed. 😊💙🤩
Two things always give me goosebumps, knowing that every single time he says "I can't die" "I'm immortal", it's not a threat or a way of boasting, he says it with pain and sadness. The second part is when he mentions Phanteon, which is basically how he saw himself in the past, a noble warrior who fights for his brothers... Then he was betrayed...
The most terrifying and sad ones to me are the ones where he speaks in third person. It’s as if he doesn’t WANT to do this, as if he’s remembering his once noble and heroic self who stood as a guardian against the Void. It sounds like he’s FORCING himself into believing armageddon is what he wants. The pain and desperation in his voice during those ones is so powerful. Aatrox is one of the most tragic and heart wrenching characters in the history of gaming.
Aatrox is a self-fulfilling prophecy. He wants to die because he's afraid he'll be left alone since he is pretty much immortal. But if he kills every living thing then he also ends up being alone fulfilling his fear.
As far as Aatrox has fallen, it is still not too late for him, perhaps. Varus was just as hate-filled as him, but the presence of Valmar and Kai chilled him out a lot, so as long as Aatrox can find a pair of star-crossed lovers and turn them into his body, he'll be fine. It's so simple it's brilliant, I can't wait to spam Riot with my fan fiction, they will have to listen! Seriously, though, I do love how sad Aatrox actually is - him and Joraal, from Legends of Runeterra, might be the only Darkin that are as damaged as the stories about them tell us.
Varus wasn't even close to being as angry and full of hatred as Aatrox. Aatrox *instantly* consumed whoever picked him up. Varus was fused into two dudes and was calmed down a bit by them. Aatrox used to be a general whereas Varus was... a nobody as far as we know. Just a soldier among others like Naafiri, Rhaast, etc. Aatrox's only equal is Xolaani and she's the one who came up with the blood magic they all use as Darkins.
I think the only chance Aatrox has at any kind of redemption is if one of the cosmic horrors from the void comes into the real world threatening to end existence itself. Aatrox would attack such a creature without hesitation because he wants to be set free from existence, and in a way of bringing his story full circle he might drive the creature back into the void before his destruction and thus buy enough time for the void to be sealed again. The question would be if he has a self realization before his destruction and for a brief moment recaptures the glory of his original purpose.
Pantheon, Aatrox and Aurelion Sol, the three beings that were wronged by the celestials. Funny enough, Aatrox is linked to Pantheon, (you can even see him on the background of pantheon's splashart), and Pantheon linked to Aurelion Sol. If I remember correctly, the only 3 people Aatrox sees worthy of using as vessels, are Tryndamere, Pantheon and Jax. Aatrox slaughtered a whole squad of Tryndamere kinsmen, and left him to die. Pantheon once managed to cut Aatrox's sword hand, sealing him into the blade again, a random person would later find Aatrox's blade and become the vessel, and now Aatrox uses the blood magic to make a flesh gauntlet to protect his hand. Also, it would be cool to later expand on the champions, reading the wiki article of that champion (the "character" article, because the other article only has stats of the champion ingame, not lore related stuff), specially the trivia and relations sections at the bottom, they have cool info.
once a darkin have a glimpse of a consciousness of its hosts and dominated it, it's over. IT'S NOT being separated to its prison but if the hosts die. You see in his trailer that he can control his blade freely without the flesh touching it how come people being confused by it heck it's even in his dance and recall that even without holding his weapon he do not go back being sealed
a little bit of lore, he was a god warrior of an empire that fought against whats basically the outer gods of lovecraft, and after the war he was left with mental scars, but nothing happened except that his empire fell and he was left without porpuse so he became not a god warrior but a darkin, he fought wars and battle his kin for years until another empire used magic to trapped him because he couldn't be killed since he represents a concept of the universe and killing him would erase this concept so they trapped him in his sword, and he described as the worst thing you can imagine, here is how he describes it: "My limbs and muscles refuse to move. I cannot breath. I am choking. The pressure builds. The stillness spreads to my chest and limbs. I want to scream, to tear at my face, to wail-but I am trapped. I cannot move. I cannot move...Darkness" so after a mortal found him and he corrupt him he was able to transform him into a imperfect copy of what he was but mortals can't contain his power so he must kill and absorb more mortals so he isn't put in the sword again, he also describes that as trading a cage for a bigger one plus he is disgusted by what he has become, and his whole idea is that if he kills everything then he will finally die,
his being has been trapped in the sword he cant breathe or live the way he once did hes constantly suffering under suffocation his only hope is death life has literally been stolen
To explain... Aatrox kinda respects Tryndamere and thinks he would be the perfect vessel, so that is why he taunts him and wishes to fight him so that he can try to posses his body, the only one he thinks would be strong enough not to die only moments later. Your reaction was great as always
His character is one of a man that reached greatness, fought for his kingdom with honor and lived among gods ... then tricked into becoming a monster. He hates his own existence but is unable to end it cursed to ever exist in this state. His own anger with him self turned to the world. Secretly he just fights everything and everyone hoping he will one day die. He doesnt hate life he hates him self and he can do nothing about it. he is left alone with no purpose. Truly a great character and definitely a tragic one
Recently found this, honestly love this, I am a huge advocate for the lore of this game and Aatrox is a piece of poetic misery that deserves to be put on a pedestal. I highly recommend finding videos that for example show off who he is specifically talking to, or in what situation, for example ""Do I resemble you, abomination?" is when he meets a Void champion (specifically monster) for the first time! I also highly recommend a content creator called "Necrit" who is even the Loremaster in the ruined king game, because he is the person everybody goes to if they want to know anything about any piece of league of legends lore, their champions, their stories, their hurts, and theories. Amazing content! Will surely watch more! Nevermind I just started your kindred video and you said that- Still a great video tho! Would love to see you react to Yorick and Illaoi!
When he says "I know it was you, trickster!", he's talking about the Aspect of Twilight, Zoe. She's one of the strongest Targon characters, because the Twilight is known as "the Herald of the Change" and even can handle Aurelion Sol (creator of Runeterra). During the Darkin War, Myisha, the other Aspect of Twilight (short explanation, every Targon god chose an "Aspect", a mortal that will be fueled with divine powers, but they change through eras), went to Shurima to teach the mortals how they could seal the Darkins, so Aatrox sees Zoe (the "dusk" counterpart of the Twilight) as the responsible of his suffiering. I really like Zoe's lore/personality (no clue she's my main ingame), because most of time she's just a cheerful kid, but her countless eras of life and knowlodge make her sound like a real god whenever she decides to take her job as the announcer of the cosmos seriously. Sorry I got quite excited typing 😅
Aatrox was one of the mightiest, holiest, most just and truest warriors to have ever lived. The lore spoke of how the war against the Void had corrupted him and his army but never spoke of how did it happened
ok now a bit of lore dump xD trickster, Aatrox mentioning is aspect of dawn (now Zoe, back in time Maisha - or something like that,she is responsible for creating darkins in the first place indirectly as she taught humans how to create ascended) she is responsible for capturing darkins - Maisha taught humans how to craft weapons that can hold essens of darkins and how to capture them; now darkins need living host to do anything, they literally destroys souls of a host and take over body, then change body to be closer how they looked in they best days via blood magic created by Xolani (also darkin) Aatrox is one of the most powerful of darkins if not the most (as he actually killed a literal god of war - aspect of war Pantheon); he stabbed host of the aspect so hard that aspect died Aatrox ultimate goal is to die himself, ulucky for him he is too powerful to just die, also darkin weapons are indestructible so he thinks if he destroys world somehow it also "free" him
Outside lore, he mention so much the immortality, resurrection and not die in genereal cuz his main trait in game was about coming back to life after he dies. (with time that got changed tho) also he calls Tryndamere his creation cuz he made him so mad and angry that he ignored death (tldr). And again, in game, Tryndamere main resource is rage and the untimate ability is about becoming invulnerable to death for a few seconds
13:29 hes referring to the Void here, as he had stand against it once, he now questions if he had been destined to become just like them, to destroy reality
In ancient Shurima, long before the desert sands swallowed the empire, the warrior, Aatrox found himself standing in front of the divine sun disc. Blessed by the power of the sun itself Aatrox became an Ascended with angel-like wings and armor that shone like the golden light of dawn, with the power of a thousand constellations. He was a noble defender of Shurima, the vanguard of every conflict, so true and just, that the other god-warriors stood by his side, and ten thousand mortals of Shurima marched behind him. When Setaka, the Ascended warrior-queen called for his help against the rebels of Icathia, Aatrox answered without hesitation. However, no one predicted the extent of the horrors, the grinding annihilation of all life it encountered, that the Icathian rebels, consumed by The Void would unleash. After many years of desperate battle, after battle, after battle, Aatrox and his brethren sealed the largest rifts shut, and found themselves triumphant over The Void. Though they were victorious, the surviving Ascended, the self described Sunborn, found themselves forever changed by the terrors of The Void, and self infliction of blood magic. Though Shurima triumphed, they all had lost something in their victory… even the noble Aatrox. And in time, Shurima fell, as all nations are doomed to. Without anything to defend, or the threat of The Void to fight against, the noble Sunborn began to clash with one another. Mortals fleeing this destructive conflict came to know them by a new mocking name: The Darkin. Fearing that the fallen Ascended were as much of a threat to the world as The Void, the Targonians, enlightened by the Aspect of Twilight, and the newly reborn Aspect of War united thousands to fight against the corrupted Sunborn. In the end, The Targonians pulled Aatrox into the blade he wielded, and forever bound his immortal essence to it, doomed to endless life. The prison sealed him in suffocating, eternal darkness, robbing him even of the ability to perish. He could not see, hear or feel, he was doomed to endure endless choking, as he could not breathe in, or out. For centuries he was trapped with only his mind intact, a war against himself so alien, brutal and terrifying that even gods would crumble under the mental drain. He strained against the hellish confinement, until some nameless mortal was foolish enough to wield the blade. Aatrox seized upon the opportunity, and took over their body, only to realize, he was deformed, only a fraction of his once noble self. The warrior, who appeared as a divine sunlight, now took shape as an unholy, dark avatar. Aatrox searched runeterra desperately, for a way to return to his previous form.. but it was all in vain. In time, he realized that he will never be released of this hellish cage. The flesh he stole, shaped crudely, began to feel like a mockery of his former glory, a cage only slightly larger than the sword. The heavenly powers Aatrox once wielded, have vanished, with all memory. Raging against this injustice Aatrox arrived at a conclusion. If he could not destroy the blade, or return to his once noble self, then he would embrace oblivion instead, and now he clings to a blind hope: if he could not die, he will drive existence into one last apocalyptic battle, where everything, and EVERYTHING would be destroyed… then maybe he and the blade will cease to exist.
For the voice lines around 13:30 this is probably why someone recommended a specific Channel for voice lines. For this one Aatrox is most likely reacting to an encounter with undead or void creature, so he's reflecting.
The thing is he doesnt want to kill everyone for the fun of it or for revenge. He just came to the conclusion that as an immortal god-like being only way he could "die" would be by destroying the entire world and bringing it to an end.
Pozdrowienia z polski, książki w tle zdradziły :) Poza tym trafiłem tu przez algorytm youtuba bo gram głównie Aatroxem i ciekawie się słuchało pierwszych wrażeń osoby na teksty Aatroxa. Pozdrawiam :)
i dont really see anyone mention it so ill just leave this here : "I KNOW IT WAS YOU TRICKSTER! YOU GAVE THEM THE TOOLS TO TRAP ME" is referring to none other than the champion zoe aka if not wrong the aspect of twilight but she is not a pure aspect like she was not born into the world as an aspect and somehow became the aspect cause of exposure to some dimension for long and she actually gave the mortals the knowledge and magic they needed to seal the gods or darkins now into the weapons thus making them immortal they legit do not die but are sentenced to eternal suffering or being fully aware but not heard..so a new purpose was found
I'm very curious to see if they ever add an interaction between Aatrox and Azir. Will the now Ascended Emperor be able to restore the Darkin to their former glory?
I like your reaction, u seemed very terrified by him. :D I recomendt to listen to Aurelion Sol, Fiddlesticks and Mordekaiser, those voicelines are absolut killer, if u do fiddlestick, that distorted voice. The voiceactor is not using any tools to do them, it is seriously just his mouth and that is just scary. :D
aatrox special interaktions are very nice to react also .. its aatrox ingame interactions with other champions. Pantheons and kindred are very good choicec .. i also recommend kayn, he wields a darkin weapon a scythe .. kayn has 3 sets of voicelines... one where he interacts with the darkin rhaast and both are fighting over control of kayns body.. midgame the player can chose who will win and take controll so there are for each path one more set of voicelines depending on Rhaast taking over or kayn subdue the darkin and becoming more powerfull. If ur looking for cinematic i would recommend "Thresh Unbound: A Night at the Inn"
A bit of a Sour taste recommendation is Sion: his voicelines are not as popular as Aatrox or others and often forgotten but In my opinion they are very good and there are definitely some bangers in there.

Aatrox was an ascended warrior like nasus renek azir and Xerath. but when shurima fell lots of ascended fell into darkness without purpose hence falling prey to the darkin
When he says "resurection , an endless cycle of life. a dead bird." He s refering to Azir the emperor of Shurima that died thousands years ago then resurrected and ascended into said bird , a falcon. When that line is played he either meets Azir in game or kills him. The tragic fall of Shurima began because the emperor Azir was betrayed and died.
@@Tur33233 no check it out again. It's only directed to Anivia and also they used to kill spirit gods for breakfast that's why there's a few in Shurima lol
"i must congratulate you, obviously your parents don't have any reason to" Damn u Aatrox. Why must u hurt me too?! I'm only watching here in yourtube 😭
Aatrox story is simple. He used to be a respected commander of the strongest army in the world at the time: the Shuriman army of Ascended God-Warriors. After Shurima fell, the various Ascendeds fought for power to the point of risking of destroying Runeterra (the planet). The Aspect of Twilight chose to seal the Darkins (some of the Ascendeds who used blood magic to empower themselves and fight amongst each other) to avoid the end of the world. She sealed most of them in a single weapon (Sivir's Chalicar) and taught the people how to seal the remaining ones in other weapons. Aatrox was sealed in a sword and for several millenia, he suffocated but couldn't die. Now, his goal is to destroy all of reality in hope that if everything is destroyed, perhaps he will finally get to die. This is what it means when he references "oblivion".
After many tries, aatrox only hope is that if he can destroy EVERYTHING (Mortals, Gods, existence, heavens, dreams, meaning, time, etc...) he will finally end too. His unic purpouse is die.
13:30 the dead bird comment is in response to anivia, and the abomination one is for vel'koz. 16:13 he doesn't like anyone, but tryndamere was someone he tried to make a vessel out of, so he killed everyone he cared for.. 16:49 zoe. Aatrox's ingame lines in response to other champions is basically all insults. that last congratulations comment is in response to someone showing their mastery thingy. that is an insult to players themselves.
If you liked aatrox voicelines you should check out his interactions in legends of runeterra, there is so much lore in there plus another cinematic of him.
Do you mean the reveal trailer for LoR? Else please send the link to the cinematic. I will see if we can find enough for another Aatrox reaction then..👍 The interactions are great, but not enough for a new reaction imo.🤷🏼♂️
if you do "The Call" I highky recomment to follow up with "All That Will Ever Be | Bel'Veth Cinematic - League of Legends" since it is lore wise following upr "The Call" cinematic. Also if you do voicelines I also highly recommend to check out the champion themes. These themes encapsulate the character and sometimes the lore in their music themes. League composes all of them by their own music department - and a lot of them are real masterpieces. :) I am not sure if I recommended that already but there is a whole documantary on the League music : "Frequencies - The Music of League of Legends".
The Call playlist of course includes Bel'Veth as well. You shouldn't have to wait too long for it. 😉 Thanks for recommending the music documentary . Totally missed that. Now it is on the list for once we reach KDA.👍
Aatrox is the embodiment of rage and the reason of Tryndamere ultimate and reason to fight. at his peak power he killed one of the gods of runateera, he killed the aspect of war, after that, zoe gave the knowledge of how to imprison him and reducehis power, that's why he hate her so much, to me he is one of best characters on LOl, plus the actor put so much into it.
TLDR version of why the darkin "are weapons".... When they were warring against each other (Aatrox and his Darkin brothers vs Xolaani). They caused so much Havoc that the aspects had to get involved. The aspect of Twilight (The one before Zoe) gave humans the knowledge to trap them. So the Darkin were then trapped inside indestructible weapons and now require a host to take form. That basically nerfed slightly since Aatrox already proved they're still capable of killing gods. While being in this form they cannot use blood magic like they did in their prime. Example.... The Darkin could morph their bodies in any way they wanted. They could make armor and weapons from their body using blood. In their current sealed form, they would require blood of others to most of the things they were once able to. Hence why Aatrox set out on a killing spree to grow in size.
Darkin fan/main here. Aatrox in lore vs in game is so sad. Lore: An immortal Darkin who builds up his body with the corpses of his enemies In game: Removed his revive, has a low HP pool, glorified Assassin (can't even call him a bruiser or tank 😭 ) (quick explanation, they removed Aatrox from the game, re-added him but with a rework and then they downgraded him I think about 8 times including getting rid of his revive which is strange since that's his whole *THING* . aka not dying)
@@StopMeOh Yep! Right arm, back of wrist. Kinda hard to see it cause It's black and it's right in the middle of a bunch of others! Got it like a week after I first heard his voicelines. I also have "I refused to fade" (reference to Mordekaiser) on my other wrist, and "We're already drowning, all we gotta do is open our mouths and let the water in" (Reference to Pyke) on my ribcage! I'm a MASSIVE fan of voice acting so I got alot of words on me from different things ;)
aatrox is actually the blade the demonic visage is holding.should the body die, aatrox will survive until someone new picks up the sword and aatrox will corrupt/control them twisting them into a new host. the darkin are actually the shurimen ascended(demi-gods) who were corrupted by the watchers in the void.
Aatrox is like Mordekaiser to destroy and kill everything but if he was more intelligent he would go to Ikacia jump to Voidrift and it would tear him apart there. Rhaast is fine, but it is clear that eventually Kayn will suppress him and Rhaast will be just a Scythe. Well, at least he can get together with Akali. 🤩 But my favorites of the Darkin living now are Xolaani, Varus Valeeva, Naafiri and Horazi.
@@bigbywolf5031 Um, Guardians in the Void are more powerful than anything in Celestial - Targon Prime/Runeterra. If his sword fell from the rift into the Void, it would be destroyed along with the watchers themselves. Something similar to Malzahar and Belvet, but she destroys people and things and then reshapes them in her own vision.
If is someone more interested you should watched Necrit Twilight of Gods story video and others Riot MMO videos like Raid and Bosses and Legendary loot
TLDR about his story: he was human turn into a god-ish by the celestial(and shurima sundish) sent into was again the void BUT Aatrox the General of God Warrior and his allies got corrupted by it energy becoming "The Darkin" (alot more happen then that let just stop it here) the celestial abandon him and all his brethren what end up happen is all the Darkin was seal inside there own weapon. and the most curse-ful this of them all is they are alive they can't breath, can't scream (can't hear too i think) they can only sense thing around them... like an endless prison of nothingness. ONLY and ONLY when someone touch their weapon they can dominate that person (or creature) to take over and rise again. so all the darkin are the weapon their holding take over the host and use their body to turn back against the world...in hope that IF they destroy existent it self they might be free(die). at least that is Aatrox logic. as their General he even more upset that not only him but his friends and allies got betrayal as well.
Uh I feel a resonance with aatrox that I dont like. (No, not about the murders). But feeling trapped in a flesh I feel disgusted. Sometimes I do wish everything would go silent, because I might not be inmortal, but I cant kill myself, fear is too strong. And so i feel trapped in a body, in a mind. I feel no longer my own
If you are an Arcane fan, you must know that Piltover and Zaun are a representation of our actual society , but... out of there, in other regions of runaterra, its other world, ghosts, demons, gods, etc etc, its almost funny, that Piltover and Zaun are the most "normal" places in runaterra, normal... for us...
aatrox is the best rework riot has ever done, ( a rework is when a champ gets changed, his abilities, his look even his lore sometimes) and aatrox was a boring and bad designed champ until they created another different champ more jacked, more tanky like he should be and most important, he's more fun now, yes it's abou taste but ppl who prefer to right click instead of pressing a button to deal massive dmg whitting with that big sword, are just those whomiss how easy old aatrox was
When you realize that the only reason why Aatrox screams so much is because he is terrified of not being heard, the only reason he kills is out of pure despair and in search of the slightest grim of hope that maybe someone can destroy him and his blade, and when you realize that the reason why he has so many quotes in the 3rd person is because he's afraid of being alone... such a sad character, From The strongest Hero That has been born, to a Betrayed Madman who has lost hope even in death, carried now only by his former pride...Also the thing about the “Fight or be forgotten” line is… Old Aatrox told this to his enemies. New Aatrox tells this to himself. If he stop fighting, he reverts into prison… In the dark, hungry, unable to breath, unable to scream… Just a sword, buried and… Forgotten.
😭
I have seen this comment from somewhere else
There are like hundreds of Vids about about Aatrox and there is about a hundred of times I see your comment😂😂😂
@@craiglaurenceleonidas7501 I personally love this character and i dont mind if anyone else copy my comment…Its about sharing the good information.
Aatrox is like Lucifer, the best of one to be the mad of all
"I'm not your* enemy.... I am THE ENEMY" The most badass line in any piece of writing ever made in the history of humanity.
I dont know "I must congratulate you, obviously your parents never had reason to." is pretty savage lol
"pick a god and start praying" goes pretty crazy
"I am not your enemy..." but close enough
''PATIENCE AATROX PATIENCE , YOUR FREEDOM WILL COME."
dont forget when mike said ill fuck you till you love me
Pantheon would be a good followup. His story is tied with Aatrox directly.
Agreed, as much as I want to see Kayn, Pantheon's VL are something else.
Pantheon voicelines are soon to come.👍 Let's say we just wait until he hears the call...
How many times must I die, before I learn to live
As an Aatrox main I always get giddy whenever there is an enemy Pantheon just so I can year Aatrox yell "PANTHEON! I SEE YOU!"
@@WillGlacier When Aatrox sees Quinn: A BIRD?! YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT ME WITH A BARD? FINE. COME!!
"I am not your enemy, I am THE enemy!" is the same level as "I have no enemies" in terms of such pure badassery.
Only that one is born out of peace and life, the other excels in war and death
He's literally saying "I'm the enemy of every living being in the world." ...
No it means he is powerful he can't even kill himself
@@firstofficer296 nop, It just means that he believes that if he ends all life the his will end too, or that at some point he will find an enemy strong enough to actually kill him, alltho if he could ever get close to Zoe to stab her (unlikely) he'd probably kill the aspect of twilight and the verse would be phucked anyway😅
On the last bit, while Aatrox is a very serious character, his voice lines making fun of other Darkins are great

I chose a blade, the most noble of all weapons, you I seriously do not understand. Were you trapped in the gardening-section?
We all agreed on the double a-thing Varus. The double a-thing?
@@lucykitsune4619 his comic lines are some that I just love to listen to
11:23
"He's like a fallen god"
And Aatrox took that personally. VERY personally
Some of his lines really hit different! You can tell he despises what he has become. For Rhaast tho.. it's something else haha, seems like he's enjoying the carnage. And there's a lot of banter between the 2 in the voicelines! 😂
The scythe joke at the end was an obvious reference to Rhaast lol. I was surprised they didn't cover it with the other interactions but the guy put them in the end with the bloopers haha.
Rhaast basically found a friend in Kayn in a weird way. Most darking were and are completely alone for ages. No wonder most went insane
@@yareyaredaz3522 Indeed they do! In Kayn's Odyssey skin, one of their lines implies Rhaast has been alone on a backwater planet for untold millenias. It's a unique dynamic and why I love the champion this much!
"Goodbye, Kayn! Reaping will commence... now!" bro is clearly enjoying himself.
@@goldenarmour7975 Indeed, a bit sad that 6 months later she hasn't covered him yet, but I shall wait my turn. 🙂
As a Aatrox main, I hear these quotes in game every game all game and they still give me shivers, he is just the best voiced character and he is so fun to play
Pyke is also expertly voiced. both of his legendry's are superb
teleporting to a baron or drake fight is the start to a raid boss, its crazy
He's so cool I wish I liked playing him, just feels to awkward to me lol
If you don't shout his voicelines irl when u ult, are you even playing Aatrox?
The Darkin lore is indeed interesting. I don't know all of it myself but most League community members know that they were once Ascended God Warriors of Shurima. Their ascended bodies made them very resistant to anything, but their minds got corrupted by fighting the Void, so now they seek to destroy and corrupt (at least Aatrox and Rhasst do, prob same for Varus, or should I say, Vaarus xD).
I don’t know if this is still true, but Varus is a special case. Because he was merged with the two hunters, their personalities warped him somewhat. Aatrox and Rhaast possess their wielder and their personality remains separate from their host, but Varus tried to possess two, so their personalities could fight back together much better, leaving the three all tangled up. So instead of one possessing one, it’s three merged together. I believe. I could be totally wrong though! 😂
@@FizzyWM We don't know yet if Rhaast dominates Kayn! I'm a Blue Kayn main after all hehe ;)
But yeah makes sense for Varus, the part where he took in disciples with bows was shocking.
@@CZ2_DeltaRiot hints that canonically Rhaast will win eventually (Legends of Runeterra)
@@weles4254 I mean it's not really fair to compare a Darkin to a talented orphan haha. Let us blue Kayn enjoyers dream 😙
@@CZ2_Deltai'm just a simple lore freak xD so just saying
Great reaction
Little side notes to aatrox voice lines.
The reason he often yells is because he was trapped in this empty prison, where he was isolated so long.
That never anyone replied to him, so he started screaming in hope he might scream loud enough that his voice might get heard at any point.
And he often talk in third person about himself, or the flesh.
Because he feels like he already died when he lost his glories status as a god warrior and got trapped.
So he feels so disconnected from himself, it’s almost like he’s trying to convince himself he is some else just overlooking this creature that’s called aatrox, since he can’t stand the shame of his downfall.
And he can’t take the thought, that he accually could have fallen so deep.
Also don’t forget that even if aatrox builds a pile of corpses which he forms to look like his old body. Or as close as he gets with it.
His conciseness is still within the sword, so if he sais move flesh move. He is accually commading the flesh made body like a vehicle or tool while still being captured inside the sword.
With the only difference of having his senses like seeing hearing and feeling the outside world through the flesh he controls.
Also the reason why he yells I am immortal, and I can’t die. Or cut justice of me is often so misunderstood.
He’s not mocking his foes, he is pissed that no one he ever met is capable of killing him. Since he only wants his suffering to end and die.
But he can’t since he’s cursed with immortality.
So the inability of anyone being able to kill him drives him mad and pisses him off.
Yes, thank you for reacting 🙏. You got it spot on when you said he's like a fallen angel/fallen god. That's why I enjoy his character so much. I can't wait to see more league reactions from you. Keep up the good work 🫡

Certainly some of them were killed during Twilight of the Gods, mostly those who didn't have Double aa, but also some survived Naganeka or Valeeva.
The Riot MMO uses Legends of Runeterra as its world-builder, it's been confirmed. 😊💙🤩
Two things always give me goosebumps, knowing that every single time he says "I can't die" "I'm immortal", it's not a threat or a way of boasting, he says it with pain and sadness.
The second part is when he mentions Phanteon, which is basically how he saw himself in the past, a noble warrior who fights for his brothers... Then he was betrayed...
The most terrifying and sad ones to me are the ones where he speaks in third person. It’s as if he doesn’t WANT to do this, as if he’s remembering his once noble and heroic self who stood as a guardian against the Void. It sounds like he’s FORCING himself into believing armageddon is what he wants. The pain and desperation in his voice during those ones is so powerful. Aatrox is one of the most tragic and heart wrenching characters in the history of gaming.
Aatrox is a self-fulfilling prophecy. He wants to die because he's afraid he'll be left alone since he is pretty much immortal. But if he kills every living thing then he also ends up being alone fulfilling his fear.
“You think you can kill me? NOTHING-CAN-KILL-ME”
Taunting every existing creature to try to kill him so he can be freed.
As far as Aatrox has fallen, it is still not too late for him, perhaps. Varus was just as hate-filled as him, but the presence of Valmar and Kai chilled him out a lot, so as long as Aatrox can find a pair of star-crossed lovers and turn them into his body, he'll be fine. It's so simple it's brilliant, I can't wait to spam Riot with my fan fiction, they will have to listen!
Seriously, though, I do love how sad Aatrox actually is - him and Joraal, from Legends of Runeterra, might be the only Darkin that are as damaged as the stories about them tell us.
Varus wasn't even close to being as angry and full of hatred as Aatrox. Aatrox *instantly* consumed whoever picked him up. Varus was fused into two dudes and was calmed down a bit by them. Aatrox used to be a general whereas Varus was... a nobody as far as we know. Just a soldier among others like Naafiri, Rhaast, etc. Aatrox's only equal is Xolaani and she's the one who came up with the blood magic they all use as Darkins.
I think the only chance Aatrox has at any kind of redemption is if one of the cosmic horrors from the void comes into the real world threatening to end existence itself. Aatrox would attack such a creature without hesitation because he wants to be set free from existence, and in a way of bringing his story full circle he might drive the creature back into the void before his destruction and thus buy enough time for the void to be sealed again. The question would be if he has a self realization before his destruction and for a brief moment recaptures the glory of his original purpose.
"I think this is beyond therapy"😂😂
Pantheon, Aatrox and Aurelion Sol, the three beings that were wronged by the celestials.
Funny enough, Aatrox is linked to Pantheon, (you can even see him on the background of pantheon's splashart), and Pantheon linked to Aurelion Sol.
If I remember correctly, the only 3 people Aatrox sees worthy of using as vessels, are Tryndamere, Pantheon and Jax. Aatrox slaughtered a whole squad of Tryndamere kinsmen, and left him to die. Pantheon once managed to cut Aatrox's sword hand, sealing him into the blade again, a random person would later find Aatrox's blade and become the vessel, and now Aatrox uses the blood magic to make a flesh gauntlet to protect his hand.
Also, it would be cool to later expand on the champions, reading the wiki article of that champion (the "character" article, because the other article only has stats of the champion ingame, not lore related stuff), specially the trivia and relations sections at the bottom, they have cool info.
once a darkin have a glimpse of a consciousness of its hosts and dominated it, it's over. IT'S NOT being separated to its prison but if the hosts die. You see in his trailer that he can control his blade freely without the flesh touching it how come people being confused by it heck it's even in his dance and recall that even without holding his weapon he do not go back being sealed
a little bit of lore, he was a god warrior of an empire that fought against whats basically the outer gods of lovecraft, and after the war he was left with mental scars, but nothing happened except that his empire fell and he was left without porpuse so he became not a god warrior but a darkin, he fought wars and battle his kin for years until another empire used magic to trapped him because he couldn't be killed since he represents a concept of the universe and killing him would erase this concept so they trapped him in his sword, and he described as the worst thing you can imagine, here is how he describes it: "My limbs and muscles refuse to move. I cannot breath. I am choking. The pressure builds. The stillness spreads to my chest and limbs. I want to scream, to tear at my face, to wail-but I am trapped. I cannot move. I cannot move...Darkness" so after a mortal found him and he corrupt him he was able to transform him into a imperfect copy of what he was but mortals can't contain his power so he must kill and absorb more mortals so he isn't put in the sword again, he also describes that as trading a cage for a bigger one plus he is disgusted by what he has become, and his whole idea is that if he kills everything then he will finally die,
his being has been trapped in the sword he cant breathe or live the way he once did hes constantly suffering under suffocation his only hope is death life has literally been stolen
i just now realized that the one who is talking was the sword all along
To explain... Aatrox kinda respects Tryndamere and thinks he would be the perfect vessel, so that is why he taunts him and wishes to fight him so that he can try to posses his body, the only one he thinks would be strong enough not to die only moments later. Your reaction was great as always
He has the same thoughts towards Jax
no Jax is the only one he respected as a vessel. Aatrox fueling Tryndamere's rage to make his mind fragile and only think of him as a slave
@@andretarrobal1964 hence the “kinda” since he didn’t kill him but let him live grooming the perfect vessel
@@SkrappyQ Unrelated but jax is also the enemy Fiora longs for. And since he seems so special I like to think he's also the hero Poppy is waiting for.
His character is one of a man that reached greatness, fought for his kingdom with honor and lived among gods ... then tricked into becoming a monster. He hates his own existence but is unable to end it cursed to ever exist in this state. His own anger with him self turned to the world. Secretly he just fights everything and everyone hoping he will one day die. He doesnt hate life he hates him self and he can do nothing about it. he is left alone with no purpose. Truly a great character and definitely a tragic one
Recently found this, honestly love this, I am a huge advocate for the lore of this game and Aatrox is a piece of poetic misery that deserves to be put on a pedestal.
I highly recommend finding videos that for example show off who he is specifically talking to, or in what situation, for example ""Do I resemble you, abomination?" is when he meets a Void champion (specifically monster) for the first time!
I also highly recommend a content creator called "Necrit" who is even the Loremaster in the ruined king game, because he is the person everybody goes to if they want to know anything about any piece of league of legends lore, their champions, their stories, their hurts, and theories.
Amazing content! Will surely watch more!
Nevermind I just started your kindred video and you said that-
Still a great video tho! Would love to see you react to Yorick and Illaoi!
Thanks a lot :)
When he says "I know it was you, trickster!", he's talking about the Aspect of Twilight, Zoe. She's one of the strongest Targon characters, because the Twilight is known as "the Herald of the Change" and even can handle Aurelion Sol (creator of Runeterra).
During the Darkin War, Myisha, the other Aspect of Twilight (short explanation, every Targon god chose an "Aspect", a mortal that will be fueled with divine powers, but they change through eras), went to Shurima to teach the mortals how they could seal the Darkins, so Aatrox sees Zoe (the "dusk" counterpart of the Twilight) as the responsible of his suffiering.
I really like Zoe's lore/personality (no clue she's my main ingame), because most of time she's just a cheerful kid, but her countless eras of life and knowlodge make her sound like a real god whenever she decides to take her job as the announcer of the cosmos seriously.
Sorry I got quite excited typing 😅
Zoe wasn't the Aspect of Change when Aatrox was tricked or when Asol was captured. Zoe is a newer host
yeah dropping this guy on piltover would be a quick way to turn arcane into a post apocalypse series
Aatrox was one of the mightiest, holiest, most just and truest warriors to have ever lived. The lore spoke of how the war against the Void had corrupted him and his army but never spoke of how did it happened
Aatrox wants to destroy everything in the hope that when there is nothing he also ceases to exist
i told you it is beautiful like dark poetry its one of the best voice lines in league props to the voice actor
ok now a bit of lore dump xD
trickster, Aatrox mentioning is aspect of dawn (now Zoe, back in time Maisha - or something like that,she is responsible for creating darkins in the first place indirectly as she taught humans how to create ascended) she is responsible for capturing darkins - Maisha taught humans how to craft weapons that can hold essens of darkins and how to capture them;
now darkins need living host to do anything, they literally destroys souls of a host and take over body, then change body to be closer how they looked in they best days via blood magic created by Xolani (also darkin)
Aatrox is one of the most powerful of darkins if not the most (as he actually killed a literal god of war - aspect of war Pantheon); he stabbed host of the aspect so hard that aspect died
Aatrox ultimate goal is to die himself, ulucky for him he is too powerful to just die, also darkin weapons are indestructible so he thinks if he destroys world somehow it also "free" him
Small correction: Aspect of Twilight ;)
Outside lore, he mention so much the immortality, resurrection and not die in genereal cuz his main trait in game was about coming back to life after he dies. (with time that got changed tho)
also he calls Tryndamere his creation cuz he made him so mad and angry that he ignored death (tldr). And again, in game, Tryndamere main resource is rage and the untimate ability is about becoming invulnerable to death for a few seconds
13:29 hes referring to the Void here, as he had stand against it once, he now questions if he had been destined to become just like them, to destroy reality
its so cool that now that everything is the same thing as canon, Aatrox could be in Arcane season 2 since he definetely is in the world
In ancient Shurima, long before the desert sands swallowed the empire, the warrior, Aatrox found himself standing in front of the divine sun disc. Blessed by the power of the sun itself Aatrox became an Ascended with angel-like wings and armor that shone like the golden light of dawn, with the power of a thousand constellations. He was a noble defender of Shurima, the vanguard of every conflict, so true and just, that the other god-warriors stood by his side, and ten thousand mortals of Shurima marched behind him. When Setaka, the Ascended warrior-queen called for his help against the rebels of Icathia, Aatrox answered without hesitation.
However, no one predicted the extent of the horrors, the grinding annihilation of all life it encountered, that the Icathian rebels, consumed by The Void would unleash.
After many years of desperate battle, after battle, after battle, Aatrox and his brethren sealed the largest rifts shut, and found themselves triumphant over The Void.
Though they were victorious, the surviving Ascended, the self described Sunborn, found themselves forever changed by the terrors of The Void, and self infliction of blood magic. Though Shurima triumphed, they all had lost something in their victory… even the noble Aatrox.
And in time, Shurima fell, as all nations are doomed to.
Without anything to defend, or the threat of The Void to fight against, the noble Sunborn began to clash with one another. Mortals fleeing this destructive conflict came to know them by a new mocking name: The Darkin.
Fearing that the fallen Ascended were as much of a threat to the world as The Void, the Targonians, enlightened by the Aspect of Twilight, and the newly reborn Aspect of War united thousands to fight against the corrupted Sunborn.
In the end, The Targonians pulled Aatrox into the blade he wielded, and forever bound his immortal essence to it, doomed to endless life.
The prison sealed him in suffocating, eternal darkness, robbing him even of the ability to perish. He could not see, hear or feel, he was doomed to endure endless choking, as he could not breathe in, or out. For centuries he was trapped with only his mind intact, a war against himself so alien, brutal and terrifying that even gods would crumble under the mental drain. He strained against the hellish confinement, until some nameless mortal was foolish enough to wield the blade. Aatrox seized upon the opportunity, and took over their body, only to realize, he was deformed, only a fraction of his once noble self. The warrior, who appeared as a divine sunlight, now took shape as an unholy, dark avatar.
Aatrox searched runeterra desperately, for a way to return to his previous form.. but it was all in vain. In time, he realized that he will never be released of this hellish cage. The flesh he stole, shaped crudely, began to feel like a mockery of his former glory, a cage only slightly larger than the sword. The heavenly powers Aatrox once wielded, have vanished, with all memory.
Raging against this injustice Aatrox arrived at a conclusion. If he could not destroy the blade, or return to his once noble self, then he would embrace oblivion instead, and now he clings to a blind hope: if he could not die, he will drive existence into one last apocalyptic battle, where everything, and EVERYTHING would be destroyed… then maybe he and the blade will cease to exist.
basically aside from his hatred and vengeance he thinks that if he kill everything, life would cease to exist and he would be able to die
For the voice lines around 13:30 this is probably why someone recommended a specific Channel for voice lines. For this one Aatrox is most likely reacting to an encounter with undead or void creature, so he's reflecting.
The thing is he doesnt want to kill everyone for the fun of it or for revenge. He just came to the conclusion that as an immortal god-like being only way he could "die" would be by destroying the entire world and bringing it to an end.
fun fact there is one soldier aatrox gives his respects to. He is the champion called Pantheon. they have met XD
You have to see the images of Aatrox fighting Xolaani, Kayle and Ryze. Totally dope.
I don't know who is more depressed, Amumu or Aatrox
Aww
yo Varus new voice lines dropped recently he is on a similar level as Aatrox (he is a darkin too, but his body is of two hunters valmar and kai)
Pozdrowienia z polski, książki w tle zdradziły :)
Poza tym trafiłem tu przez algorytm youtuba bo gram głównie Aatroxem i ciekawie się słuchało pierwszych wrażeń osoby na teksty Aatroxa. Pozdrawiam :)
i dont really see anyone mention it so ill just leave this here : "I KNOW IT WAS YOU TRICKSTER! YOU GAVE THEM THE TOOLS TO TRAP ME" is referring to none other than the champion zoe aka if not wrong the aspect of twilight but she is not a pure aspect like she was not born into the world as an aspect and somehow became the aspect cause of exposure to some dimension for long and she actually gave the mortals the knowledge and magic they needed to seal the gods or darkins now into the weapons thus making them immortal they legit do not die but are sentenced to eternal suffering or being fully aware but not heard..so a new purpose was found
I'm very curious to see if they ever add an interaction between Aatrox and Azir. Will the now Ascended Emperor be able to restore the Darkin to their former glory?
lol actually cant believe i got a bit peeved when you went to stop the video you hovered your cursor over the pause button
For more interactions I would recommend his Legends of Runeterra interactions voice lines. They add a lot more depth and lore context!
His story with Tryndamere is that hes the one that gave him his undying rage, Aatrox wants to eventually take him as a host.
I like your reaction, u seemed very terrified by him. :D
I recomendt to listen to Aurelion Sol, Fiddlesticks and Mordekaiser, those voicelines are absolut killer, if u do fiddlestick, that distorted voice. The voiceactor is not using any tools to do them, it is seriously just his mouth and that is just scary. :D
Hahah yeah I was wait until I post Fiddlesticks this weekend xDD
You can’t watch Aatrox voice lines without checking out Aatrox/Pantheon interaction voice lines
Aatrox needs a hug
aatrox special interaktions are very nice to react also .. its aatrox ingame interactions with other champions. Pantheons and kindred are very good choicec ..
i also recommend kayn, he wields a darkin weapon a scythe .. kayn has 3 sets of voicelines... one where he interacts with the darkin rhaast and both are fighting over control of kayns body.. midgame the player can chose who will win and take controll so there are for each path one more set of voicelines depending on Rhaast taking over or kayn subdue the darkin and becoming more powerfull.
If ur looking for cinematic i would recommend "Thresh Unbound: A Night at the Inn"
11:20 was a perfectly timed response xD
Stop Me Oh Amazing Video Today!!😎🙏❤️
14:40 you can really feel how frustrated he is over this fact
A bit of a Sour taste recommendation is Sion: his voicelines are not as popular as Aatrox or others and often forgotten but In my opinion they are very good and there are definitely some bangers in there.

Aatrox was an ascended warrior like nasus renek azir and Xerath. but when shurima fell lots of ascended fell into darkness without purpose hence falling prey to the darkin
Aatrox: a darkin who had a very bad day and decided to make that everybody's problem.
When he says "resurection , an endless cycle of life. a dead bird."
He s refering to Azir the emperor of Shurima that died thousands years ago then resurrected and ascended into said bird , a falcon. When that line is played he either meets Azir in game or kills him. The tragic fall of Shurima began because the emperor Azir was betrayed and died.

"i must congratulate you, obviously your parents don't have any reason to"
Damn u Aatrox. Why must u hurt me too?! I'm only watching here in yourtube 😭
Aatrox story is simple. He used to be a respected commander of the strongest army in the world at the time: the Shuriman army of Ascended God-Warriors. After Shurima fell, the various Ascendeds fought for power to the point of risking of destroying Runeterra (the planet). The Aspect of Twilight chose to seal the Darkins (some of the Ascendeds who used blood magic to empower themselves and fight amongst each other) to avoid the end of the world. She sealed most of them in a single weapon (Sivir's Chalicar) and taught the people how to seal the remaining ones in other weapons. Aatrox was sealed in a sword and for several millenia, he suffocated but couldn't die. Now, his goal is to destroy all of reality in hope that if everything is destroyed, perhaps he will finally get to die. This is what it means when he references "oblivion".
You should do a Pantheon's voicelines and also his trailer video reaction please!! That is like his rival and they are quite opposites
Coming!
After many tries, aatrox only hope is that if he can destroy EVERYTHING (Mortals, Gods, existence, heavens, dreams, meaning, time, etc...) he will finally end too. His unic purpouse is die.
13:30 the dead bird comment is in response to anivia, and the abomination one is for vel'koz.
16:13 he doesn't like anyone, but tryndamere was someone he tried to make a vessel out of, so he killed everyone he cared for..
16:49 zoe.
Aatrox's ingame lines in response to other champions is basically all insults. that last congratulations comment is in response to someone showing their mastery thingy. that is an insult to players themselves.
If you liked aatrox voicelines you should check out his interactions in legends of runeterra, there is so much lore in there plus another cinematic of him.
Do you mean the reveal trailer for LoR? Else please send the link to the cinematic. I will see if we can find enough for another Aatrox reaction then..👍 The interactions are great, but not enough for a new reaction imo.🤷🏼♂️
I love aatrox, best character in game . FIGHT OR BE FORGOTTEN
if you do "The Call" I highky recomment to follow up with "All That Will Ever Be | Bel'Veth Cinematic - League of Legends" since it is lore wise following upr "The Call" cinematic.
Also if you do voicelines I also highly recommend to check out the champion themes. These themes encapsulate the character and sometimes the lore in their music themes. League composes all of them by their own music department - and a lot of them are real masterpieces. :) I am not sure if I recommended that already but there is a whole documantary on the League music : "Frequencies - The Music of League of Legends".
The Call playlist of course includes Bel'Veth as well. You shouldn't have to wait too long for it. 😉 Thanks for recommending the music documentary . Totally missed that. Now it is on the list for once we reach KDA.👍
@@masterofpuppets7586 really? Tha's so cool! I am so glad to hear that and look forward to the reaction :)
Aatrox is the embodiment of rage and the reason of Tryndamere ultimate and reason to fight.
at his peak power he killed one of the gods of runateera, he killed the aspect of war, after that, zoe gave the knowledge of how to imprison him and reducehis power, that's why he hate her so much, to me he is one of best characters on LOl, plus the actor put so much into it.
TLDR version of why the darkin "are weapons"....
When they were warring against each other (Aatrox and his Darkin brothers vs Xolaani). They caused so much Havoc that the aspects had to get involved. The aspect of Twilight (The one before Zoe) gave humans the knowledge to trap them. So the Darkin were then trapped inside indestructible weapons and now require a host to take form.
That basically nerfed slightly since Aatrox already proved they're still capable of killing gods.
While being in this form they cannot use blood magic like they did in their prime.
Example....
The Darkin could morph their bodies in any way they wanted. They could make armor and weapons from their body using blood.
In their current sealed form, they would require blood of others to most of the things they were once able to.
Hence why Aatrox set out on a killing spree to grow in size.
Did the quote "I am not your enemy! I am THE enemy!" appear? Because I don't remember it appearing here
Yeah I remember it! I think I joked "I am the one who knocks" then xD

Lore: An immortal Darkin who builds up his body with the corpses of his enemies
In game: Removed his revive, has a low HP pool, glorified Assassin (can't even call him a bruiser or tank 😭 )
(quick explanation, they removed Aatrox from the game, re-added him but with a rework and then they downgraded him I think about 8 times including getting rid of his revive which is strange since that's his whole *THING* . aka not dying)

Wow really? So cool
@@StopMeOh Yep! Right arm, back of wrist. Kinda hard to see it cause It's black and it's right in the middle of a bunch of others! Got it like a week after I first heard his voicelines.

I'm a MASSIVE fan of voice acting so I got alot of words on me from different things ;)
@@avian9033 that's amazing haha
aatrox is actually the blade the demonic visage is holding.should the body die, aatrox will survive until someone new picks up the sword and aatrox will corrupt/control them twisting them into a new host. the darkin are actually the shurimen ascended(demi-gods) who were corrupted by the watchers in the void.
Aatrox is like Mordekaiser to destroy and kill everything but if he was more intelligent he would go to Ikacia jump to Voidrift and it would tear him apart there.
Rhaast is fine, but it is clear that eventually Kayn will suppress him and Rhaast will be just a Scythe. Well, at least he can get together with Akali. 🤩
But my favorites of the Darkin living now are Xolaani, Varus Valeeva, Naafiri and Horazi.
It wouldnt kill him, nor destroy his blade. Only asol apparently has power to destroy his sword. It would only make him trapped 4ever in void.
@@bigbywolf5031 Um, Guardians in the Void are more powerful than anything in Celestial - Targon Prime/Runeterra. If his sword fell from the rift into the Void, it would be destroyed along with the watchers themselves.
Something similar to Malzahar and Belvet, but she destroys people and things and then reshapes them in her own vision.
Can't wait for you to react to Pantheon's voicelines from Just Another Nobody. Great continuation from Aatrox. Keep up the good work!
If is someone more interested you should watched Necrit Twilight of Gods story video and others Riot MMO videos like Raid and Bosses and Legendary loot

TLDR about his story: he was human turn into a god-ish by the celestial(and shurima sundish) sent into was again the void BUT Aatrox the General of God Warrior and his allies got corrupted by it energy becoming "The Darkin" (alot more happen then that let just stop it here) the celestial abandon him and all his brethren what end up happen is all the Darkin was seal inside there own weapon.
and the most curse-ful this of them all is they are alive they can't breath, can't scream (can't hear too i think) they can only sense thing around them... like an endless prison of nothingness. ONLY and ONLY when someone touch their weapon they can dominate that person (or creature) to take over and rise again.
so all the darkin are the weapon their holding take over the host and use their body to turn back against the world...in hope that IF they destroy existent it self they might be free(die). at least that is Aatrox logic. as their General he even more upset that not only him but his friends and allies got betrayal as well.
15:00 is the part you are looking for thank me later
My fav quote is "Suffer as I suffer"
Kindred voice line also hit different highly recommended
I'm waiting for a video where you watch Pantheon lines
Aatrox is lit me.
look at his lore its so sad and one can understand in in some ways, or why he is saying those things
But Theres one missing:"Fight or be FORGOTTEN"
4:28 Amazing actor indeed 🙂Venom or a ME Collector voice it reminds me of. Thanks so much Ola🥰
Ohhh that is such an accurate comparison!! Thanks Tex 💜
what you say in 12:33 is appliable to all league of legends players btw
Uh I feel a resonance with aatrox that I dont like. (No, not about the murders). But feeling trapped in a flesh I feel disgusted. Sometimes I do wish everything would go silent, because I might not be inmortal, but I cant kill myself, fear is too strong. And so i feel trapped in a body, in a mind. I feel no longer my own
is that a zerocalcare comics ?!
Oh yeah, Tear Along the Dotted lines hit me in a major way! Then got the comic that was released here, also watched the latest story
im from roma just like zero, i think its kinda hard for a person that doesnt't live here to get all the quotes , but i do love that you enjoy it
I shall refer to her reaction as the dark pog😮😂
Imagine a Show about this Guy?
Would be fantastic
@@StopMeOh heh, yeah, i guess.
By the way, how often do you check/Reply to Comments, especially for older Videos?
@@johanstenfelt1206 regularly :) I see new comments always, saw yours too! Not always read them straight away.
@@StopMeOh I see, fair enough.
If you are an Arcane fan, you must know that Piltover and Zaun are a representation of our actual society , but... out of there, in other regions of runaterra, its other world, ghosts, demons, gods, etc etc, its almost funny, that Piltover and Zaun are the most "normal" places in runaterra, normal... for us...
Haha yeah pretty ironic for real
Aatrox has such nice lines i love it.. XD
aatrox is the best rework riot has ever done, ( a rework is when a champ gets changed, his abilities, his look even his lore sometimes) and aatrox was a boring and bad designed champ until they created another different champ more jacked, more tanky like he should be and most important, he's more fun now, yes it's abou taste but ppl who prefer to right click instead of pressing a button to deal massive dmg whitting with that big sword, are just those whomiss how easy old aatrox was
i still wonder why u didnt react to warwick voice lines
Aatrox ❤
FIGHT ... OR BE FORGOTTEN
