One of my favorite things about Kled: On every characters lore page it lists their "Allies" and "Enemies" usually 2-3 each. Kled on the other hand has EVERY character in the game as his "Enemy", including himself. The only "Ally" listed, is Skaarl.
If I were to describe Kled using one of his own quotes I'd use this one: "What was that? Oh, I should go for the decakill? Uh, if you say so." The man is so unhinged that he is willing to kill not only the enemy team, but also his own team... himself included.
Honestly all of his quotes are master tier and representative of his personnality: -"Holy **** where are we?! Guess we'll have to kill our way out !* -"What? Run straight under the tower?" -"Yes, a sane man would run, but i ain't the running type !" -"I'm gonna MURDER YOU TO *DEATH*"
Fun fact: his lizard mouth is supposedly immortal, but it is such a scaredycat it always runs away from battle. Kled, being the madlad that he is, does not give a crap and kicks ass until his lizard comes back.
Ah yes, one of my favorites, The Cantankerous Cavalier, The Great Hussar, The High General Marshal Sergeant, The Mountain Admiral, Lord Colonel Major Centurion, Rear Forward Brigadier, Admiral Forward Admiral, Major, Sir Admiral, Major Lieutenant, Sergeant Commodore, Sergeant General, Colonel Kled.
I’d love to see you react to Kled’s Demacian mirror-opposite Poppy’s theme. It is often said that Yordles represent the highest intensity stereotypes of the region they dwell in. For Kled he represents all of the stereotypes linked to Noxus. Loud, violent, brash, and takes everything for himself .
Other yordle themes include: Gnar from the Freljord and Vex from the Shadow Isles. Lulu also has her own theme. Kennen, Fizz and all the others don't have themes unfortunately
@@chrishaven1489 Kennen is the most Ionian, what do you mean? Fizz is true, even if you could argue him somewhat being tied to Bilgewater and Veigar is mostly parody of Mordekaiser.
@@mikhaelgribkov4117 Kennen and Fizz don't have themes, as in musical themes. If you ask Marco to listen to Kennen and Fizz's themes, he's not gonna find anything because they don't exist
Kled is the character I played when I TRULY wanted to just have fun. He is the embodiment of "Balls to the wall" do what tf you want when you want and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Him and Illaoi the Kraken Priestess hold a special place in my heart alongside Jhin and Pyke. "Mushrooms are healthy! Once you get past the madness and paranoia!" "“Were you just talking, or was it the voices again?” "“I keep hallucinating that you can talk.” Skaarl growls "Nahhh, I'm sure it'll pass."
@@Giedyfive honestly the tentacles are secondary, but yes. I just like that she's build like a brick shed house and her philosophy is "do what makes you happy, follow your desires and push anyone who stands in your way of that.
His lore ties up to his gameplay so well. In game, when you take too much damage, Skaarl runs away and the way to recover it is to literally go into the enemy and strike him nonstop. Skaarl won't come back if you run away.
I saw someone say this in another video. Kled theme is devided in two main instruments, one represents Kled, the other his mount. Then at 2:31 they split up and you can only hear kled's part. It stills sounds playfull, but lonely as well. 3:05 is the mount running back to him and finnaly at 3:41 they reunite and both instruments sincronize
I really like Kled, take some of his voicelines: (for context, Skaarl is his mount, Kled likes to talk with her, and they are inseparable... until they are not; Kled talking *can* also be some paranoid post-war aftermath) "This land was made for me - and me alone." "Holy sh**, where are we?". Skaarl growls. "Guess we'll have to kill our way out!" "I hate to advocate violence and insanity, but it's worked for me." "Were you just talking, or was it the voices again?" "Mushrooms are healthy! Once you get used to the madness and paranoia." "I keep hallucinating that you can talk." Skaarl growls. "Nah, I'm sure it'll pass." "Of course I'm paranoid! You tried to kill me yesterday!"* "I fight better when I've had my... medicine." "I don't have trouble communicating. Words is just treacherous bastards." "Oh, we find 'em, tie 'em up, then they's like a piñata full of meat." "Damnit Skaarl, d'you hide my mushroom juice again?" "Get back here you-!" Kled curses. "I ain't never forgiving you, you flea-bitten-!" Kled curses. Kled curses. "I'll take 'em alone!" "Dang nabbit, I love this lizard!" "Yeehaw! I knew you couldn't quit me, Skaarl!"
Watching you try to comprehend the insanity of Kled (and his theme) was hilarious. It's unfortunate you did him before you started listening to voice lines, and if you have a list somewhere of champions to go back and listen to their voice lines, he should definitely be on it. He easily has some of the most hilarious, random, and entertaining voice lines in the game.
It's absolutely mind-blowing to me how accurately he was able to describe Kled's character based on the sound track alone - this absolute maniacal looney toones character happens to be one of my personal favorites, so it's really cool to see him analyzed like this! great content
Kled has some of the weirdest lore (or lack of lore?) ever. He's just a violent, unintentionally goofy, very psychotic dude hanging out with his lizard pal and chasing people off his turf. He isn't really connected to many other characters - he simply is, and I love that about him. Kled is a perfect example of a character with no overall significance to the larger events of the world that still stands out. Yes he participated in many battles, but he doesn't really have any higher aspirations or motives. But none of that matters because he has so much swagger and attitude that you love him anyway.
Kled is a parody of Noxus. That's what Riot want the yordles to be now, parodies of the region they live in. I think Kled is the only one that was built entirely around that, as he's the last yordle to have been added to the game.
@@Oscar97o perhaps a better way to describe than *_'being a parody'_* would be to *_'embody their region'_* - Kled embodies the aggressive militaristic essence of the early barbaric noxii-tribe and what would become the expansionist noxian nation - where as someone like Heimerdinger embodies the ingenuity and inventiveness of the early piltovan tribes that would later on become the cultural mecca - nation of piltover
Yeah I didn't really even think about the possibility of you reacting to the voice lines for each champion until this one. There's a channel that generally posts all the interactions and voice lines called Skin Spotlights. There's always a lot of voice lines, but they do a great job portraying the personalities of the characters. Just food for thought lol
First time I saw Kled, I thought he was a pirate lol. The instruments of the song represents Kled and his lizard Skaarl- the brass represents Kled (the "serious" ornery guy who likes to fight) and the strings represents Skaarl (who is a coward). Even when the two personalities are very contrasting, they were able to work as a team and Kled still loves Skaarl even when she kept running away from him. His overall theme is what makes me love to play Kled. Best champ 200/10.
I would recommend to you the "This is War" Series made by Falconshield. They are musicially very well made. Its basically a rap battle between the characters and the new one that just came out had the perfect Kled impression. You can find some more League lore in there and also have a musical experience!
kled is such a fun character, on the old league of legends wiki there was always a section that mentioned allies and enemies, so ionians had noxians as an enemy and fellow ionians as allies etc, Kleds page however listed EVERY champion including himself as an enemy and just his lizard skaarl as his ally. then there was a story where kled was on an adventure but skaarl farted too much so kled left and attempted to talk to a snake about pie crusts, it turned out the snake wasnt actually a snake but the shadow of a rock, so he then proceeded to kill an entire noxian invasion army (his own people) which he succeeded in after skaarl came back. this guy is amazing
So I don’t know if anyones said this but I like how his music ties in with his character. The strong brass with the strings together have a playful energy about it. Which in game the two of them together are just that, playful, but brash. And when one of the instruments cut out, which I’d like to think is skaarl that joy is also gone which leaves only kled who no longer has anything remotely resembling fun. Kleds voice lines just from him goofing around murdering people to him literally screeching yelling, and occasionally calling out for skaarl. Also that whistle sounds a lot like an WW1 infantry whistle signaling soldiers to charge from the trenches
It’s actually a banjo. It’s to give it that country bumpkin vibe, gives you the image of an old man in the deep south hunker down in his cabin, eyes wide and weirdly focused, what kind of guy that the second you step on his property he busts out with the biggest gun he has, spewing gibberish about some nondescript war he was a part of
Kled is just one of those characters where everything about them fits perfectly. Also, if you want a challenge, I'd recommend reacting to Nilah's theme - there's a discrepancy between the music and her lore, but once you get it, it makes so much sense.
Kled is the "High Major Commodore of the First Legion Third Multiplication Double Admiral Artillery Vanguard Company". (Official title, you can see it when charging a game sometimes XD, even tho he has many many MANY more aliases.)
Swain or Evelynn next would be great, its always awesome to see you pretty much nail the character within the first minute of listening to the theme lol
I'm glad to see that Kled, the High Major Commodore of the First Legion Third Multiplication Double Admiral Artillery Vanguard Company is getting some love from ya! Keep up the great work!
fun fact about kleds splash art: he's holding a short crossbow bolt that he snapped with one hand, after catching it out of the air while standing on the back of a distracted lizard. fun fact about kleds kit, one of his attacks is a bear trap tied to a rope that he throws at people to keep them from running away.
Oh how much I wished you would react to his voice lines, honestly best league has to offer! Maybe you could look at them in the future or on a live stream? Would love to see it!👀 Anyway, great video as always!
Also suggestion wise: Cytus 2 has a series of tracks CHAOS, V and II which start as electronic and slowly lapse into classical for story reasons. It'd be really fascinating to see what you think about those trio of tracks without any context of the game's grand sci-fi story of musicians and AI.
"And I'm Kled, Lord Major Admiral of the Second Legion's forward artillery-cavalry multiplication.” I may not like to play against kled, but I cannot deny that I love the character and idea
From what I remember from the Kled theme, it does a bit of what Pantheon's theme does The first part is Kled and Skarrl together, starting a fight. In the middle, the strings leave, and then there's only the tuba, signifying that Skarrl has run away. Then there's a bit where the tuba builds and some other instruments join, and then Skarrl returns!
Kled taught me how to love Melee champions. I've always played ranged mages in League but when Kled came out he was easy and fun enough for me to learn that melee champions can be nice to play too!
Kled has some of the goofiest and wackiest voice lines in all of league of legends. I don't even play the character but I love em. My favorite quote is when you spawn in at the beginning of a game and kled shouts, "HOLY SHIT, WHERE ARE WE."
The only ingame-swearing champ... I love him His playstyle is basically: Go in and die, but take someone/ multiple people with you OR even kill the entire enemy team
Kled has one of, if not the most voicelines of all characters in the game. And all of it is a grumpy southern redneck with his shotgun, long-axe, and dementia, high off mushroom juice screaming at the youngins to 'git off of his property' or grousing at his immortal, indestructible lizard steed for being spooked at it's own shadow and running away from the battle that Kled is definitely justified in starting...
I'd recommend you give the champion voice lines a listen as well. Every champion with a theme has a video with all of his voice lines and they are FANTASTIC. They're probably the best characterization you can find as they give a more personal insight into who the character is, their fears and their background. I suggest you have a look at Pantheons lines as they are just purely inspiring and emotional, but all of the characters you've seen so far have great ones. As a dedicated league player and music enthusiast I gotta say I LOVE this content. Definitely keep doing these videos, there are so many awesome champion themes you have yet to experience but to name some of my favorites: Irelia, Yone, Taliyah, Nunu.
I love how you get his vibe just from the first minute or so. I always thought his theme always feels slightly off kilter? But also having that slight bit of humor mixed with a dangerous element. His character is one of the most interesting in League being from a magical race that takes on aspects of places they land in, the Yordles. However, he’s gone a tad bit extreme and gone completely off his rocker. His voice lines are absolute gold. Could you tell he was supposed to be from Noxus?
In the game Kled's passive is that his lizard (Skarll's the name) always runs away when it's heatlh is depleted. Kled then has to fight alone to gain courage meter, to get Skarll back and often turn the tides of the fight to his advantage. It's almost always better to just never run away from the fight you got yourself into. 3:04 I think that the slow part before this build-up is the moment Skarll flees, leaving Kled alone, then the build-up itself is growing anger and madness untill the beat drops and Kled goes into the enemy horde, cursing and yelling. Finally in the last part of the song, banjo represents Skarll coming back to help. I freaking love this character, it's insane how you could execute such a simple, goofy concept in such great way. For me the big part is also the Polish VA, who did much better job (I feel) at being old man maniac-murderer, high on shrooms lunatic XD. Thank you, for the reaction, Marco!
(Before watching) This is gonna be hard. Kled is such a weird personality. And I love it! I hope you get to hear is insane voice lines! (After watching) Oh, you got some of his parts during the music session, but he is so odd, that the videos still threw you off a bit. Too bad you didn't hear much of his voice lines. I mean, just look how he introduces himself: "I am Kled! High Major Commodore of the First Legion Third Multiplication Double Admiral Artillery Vanguard Company! You will respect my authority!"
Unrelated to LoL but I wonder if you know of the game Omori. It also has a pretty good OST. If you ever want to check it out, I recommend the songs "Omori" (this one ends abruptly because the other song "Omori - Alter" is supposed to play right after, you can choose to listen to that one if you want) and "The Last Duet" which is the main theme. Another nice game is GRIS. Beautiful game with beautiful music. The songs I recommend would be "Gris part 1" (the first song of the game when you start it), "Unagi", & "Gris part 2" (the second-to-last song of the game). The entire soundtrack is very relaxing.
Kled is one of the only champs that I definitely think you need to listen to his voice lines. His character is made so much more when you get to hear what he sounds like
This was an interesting analysis! I've played a bit of him in the game but haven't really listened to his theme in depth. It's interesting cause they actually incorporate a lot of his theme song into his gameplay which not a lot of champions have that.
Would love to hear your take on the theme of Reneta Glasc The Chem Baroness at some point as it is one of, if not my favourite League theme. Great video again
One thing you need to know about Yordles (Kled Specie) is that they are the embodiment of their surrounding. Like the goblin folklore, the enviroment shapes them. Noxus is a warmonger society, strenth above all, conquering and expanding. Kled is a comically exaggerated version of that.
I think this is one of the few times that you should check the complete champion spotlight, cause his bio translates really well into his ingame abilities
You should really listen to voicelines for some of these characters from the "Skin Spotlights" channel. You will be able to understand some of the lore around the character as well as some good characterazation. Especially Kled, he has some of the best voicelines in the entire damn game. Especially as he screams at the top of his lungs.
There is also an interpretation of Kled's tale in the lore - where in he killed many noxian military ranks, stole their uniform and got their title thinking if Kled kills this solier, I have this soldier's title
To add on to the insanity of kled theres a bunch of fun facts on his wiki, one which includes the fact that Skarrl his mount's species is actually importal but both kled and skarrl are too dumb to realize that and skarrl is just to much of a chicken
My favorite part of Kled is that even the in game ability names are insane. His ultimate is named, and I swear this is real, CHAAAAAAAARGE!!! It is a running joke that any time a caster says it during a professional broadcast they have to scream it at the top of their lungs or it was pronounced incorrectly.
Great video as always! It's always fun to listen to someone experiencing for the first time the thing you love. If i can make suggestion i recommend listening to Rell`s theme from Leage. Its one of my favorite champions and pieses of music from this game. Im curious about your take on it.
It's just a guess but in my opinion that "scream" in 3:56 is supposed to be something that sounds more like a howl, like something animalistic since this is the part of the ost that shows us Kled - as legends about him say - in a way that tells us he is great warrior and general, someone dangerous so in this part the "howling" sound would be a symbol of a ferocious beast his mount is (not in reality of course) that is why I think it's supposed to be something like big scary lizard's hissing or roaring
This is such a nice serie, I've listened to these themes countless of times, listening to it with your analyze further made me like the music of league more! could you do Urgot, the Dreadnaught next?
Amumu would be a great one you could listen to, his music video is great. Varus is my favorite champ, his login theme is skewed a little because they changed his lore. Also great music video. Last recommendation is seeing what you think of Kayn.
I love these videos, you should listen to the Rell theme, its my favourite and a bit different from the others as its one of the only champion themes to include lyrics
One of my favorite things about Kled: On every characters lore page it lists their "Allies" and "Enemies" usually 2-3 each. Kled on the other hand has EVERY character in the game as his "Enemy", including himself. The only "Ally" listed, is Skaarl.
I just imagined kleed geting a phd in rocket science, so he can invent first ever rocket in runnetera to beat aspects ass.
Have they kept that updated over the years?
@@Talguy21 not really
Is the site still up?
@@sharksu. it is, yes, not sure whether kled's enemy list remains tho
"Kled shouldn't be as good as he is at doing things" I don't think anything would describe him better than this
Fr the best description
Also “Kled has an attitude.” Truer words were never spoken
If I were to describe Kled using one of his own quotes I'd use this one:
"What was that? Oh, I should go for the decakill? Uh, if you say so."
The man is so unhinged that he is willing to kill not only the enemy team, but also his own team... himself included.

-"I'm gonna MURDER YOU TO *DEATH*"
Finally the High Major Commodore of the First Legion Third Multiplication Double Admiral Artillery Vanguard Company
"HOLY SH&*$ WHERE ARE WE??"
"THE BADGERS COMMAND YOUR DEATH!!!"
“Klee… who hurt you?”
- Yone.
"I'LL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE AN HALLUCINATION!"
Fun fact: his lizard mouth is supposedly immortal, but it is such a scaredycat it always runs away from battle. Kled, being the madlad that he is, does not give a crap and kicks ass until his lizard comes back.
I think they only die of old age, but yeah, they are immortal and impervious to physical attacks.
@@jjrjunior2382so opposite to a yordle. Yordles dont age but can get killed by injury
@@tofferooni4972 They cant be killed by injury. They are spirits, upon death they return to the spirit world

I wish he listened to the voice lines, this specific one is special
Also suggestion wise: Cytus 2 has a series of tracks CHAOS, V and II which start as electronic and slowly lapse into classical for story reasons.
It'd be really fascinating to see what you think about those trio of tracks without any context of the game's grand sci-fi story of musicians and AI.
"And I'm Kled, Lord Major Admiral of the Second Legion's forward artillery-cavalry multiplication.”
I may not like to play against kled, but I cannot deny that I love the character and idea
From what I remember from the Kled theme, it does a bit of what Pantheon's theme does
The first part is Kled and Skarrl together, starting a fight. In the middle, the strings leave, and then there's only the tuba, signifying that Skarrl has run away. Then there's a bit where the tuba builds and some other instruments join, and then Skarrl returns!
Kled taught me how to love Melee champions. I've always played ranged mages in League but when Kled came out he was easy and fun enough for me to learn that melee champions can be nice to play too!
Kled has some of the goofiest and wackiest voice lines in all of league of legends. I don't even play the character but I love em. My favorite quote is when you spawn in at the beginning of a game and kled shouts, "HOLY SHIT, WHERE ARE WE."
Kled gaming
The only ingame-swearing champ... I love him
His playstyle is basically: Go in and die, but take someone/ multiple people with you OR even kill the entire enemy team
Kled has one of, if not the most voicelines of all characters in the game. And all of it is a grumpy southern redneck with his shotgun, long-axe, and dementia, high off mushroom juice screaming at the youngins to 'git off of his property' or grousing at his immortal, indestructible lizard steed for being spooked at it's own shadow and running away from the battle that Kled is definitely justified in starting...
I'd recommend you give the champion voice lines a listen as well. Every champion with a theme has a video with all of his voice lines and they are FANTASTIC. They're probably the best characterization you can find as they give a more personal insight into who the character is, their fears and their background. I suggest you have a look at Pantheons lines as they are just purely inspiring and emotional, but all of the characters you've seen so far have great ones.
As a dedicated league player and music enthusiast I gotta say I LOVE this content. Definitely keep doing these videos, there are so many awesome champion themes you have yet to experience but to name some of my favorites: Irelia, Yone, Taliyah, Nunu.
I wonder what you'll think about Mordekaiser, The Iron Revenant. I'll be waiting for the day to come. Then keep it for eternity.
I love how you get his vibe just from the first minute or so.
I always thought his theme always feels slightly off kilter? But also having that slight bit of humor mixed with a dangerous element.
His character is one of the most interesting in League being from a magical race that takes on aspects of places they land in, the Yordles. However, he’s gone a tad bit extreme and gone completely off his rocker. His voice lines are absolute gold. Could you tell he was supposed to be from Noxus?
Rough around the edges is a very mild way to put it, clinicly insane is more what he is.
Never played this champ for once in my life but he definitely has one of the best themes
In the game Kled's passive is that his lizard (Skarll's the name) always runs away when it's heatlh is depleted. Kled then has to fight alone to gain courage meter, to get Skarll back and often turn the tides of the fight to his advantage. It's almost always better to just never run away from the fight you got yourself into.
3:04 I think that the slow part before this build-up is the moment Skarll flees, leaving Kled alone, then the build-up itself is growing anger and madness untill the beat drops and Kled goes into the enemy horde, cursing and yelling. Finally in the last part of the song, banjo represents Skarll coming back to help.
I freaking love this character, it's insane how you could execute such a simple, goofy concept in such great way. For me the big part is also the Polish VA, who did much better job (I feel) at being old man maniac-murderer, high on shrooms lunatic XD. Thank you, for the reaction, Marco!
Nothing is more fun then charging to the back line and giving them a warm noxian welcome (or die trying but hey that is part of the job as Kled).
(Before watching) This is gonna be hard. Kled is such a weird personality. And I love it! I hope you get to hear is insane voice lines!
(After watching) Oh, you got some of his parts during the music session, but he is so odd, that the videos still threw you off a bit. Too bad you didn't hear much of his voice lines. I mean, just look how he introduces himself: "I am Kled! High Major Commodore of the First Legion Third Multiplication Double Admiral Artillery Vanguard Company! You will respect my authority!"
I absolutely love this champion xD Also, his voice lines are literally the best in the game, don't even @me
Lol, i just listened about his theme yesterday and was wondering if you was going to make a video about it. What a nice coincidence
Unrelated to LoL but I wonder if you know of the game Omori. It also has a pretty good OST. If you ever want to check it out, I recommend the songs "Omori" (this one ends abruptly because the other song "Omori - Alter" is supposed to play right after, you can choose to listen to that one if you want) and "The Last Duet" which is the main theme.
Another nice game is GRIS. Beautiful game with beautiful music. The songs I recommend would be "Gris part 1" (the first song of the game when you start it), "Unagi", & "Gris part 2" (the second-to-last song of the game). The entire soundtrack is very relaxing.
Kled is one of the only champs that I definitely think you need to listen to his voice lines. His character is made so much more when you get to hear what he sounds like
This was an interesting analysis! I've played a bit of him in the game but haven't really listened to his theme in depth. It's interesting cause they actually incorporate a lot of his theme song into his gameplay which not a lot of champions have that.
Would love to hear your take on the theme of Reneta Glasc The Chem Baroness at some point as it is one of, if not my favourite League theme. Great video again
One thing you need to know about Yordles (Kled Specie) is that they are the embodiment of their surrounding. Like the goblin folklore, the enviroment shapes them. Noxus is a warmonger society, strenth above all, conquering and expanding. Kled is a comically exaggerated version of that.
You have to hear his voice lines. Just the most unhinged insanity
You finding Skaarl (the lizard) in the music was amazing HAHAHAHA Nice guessing and excellent video as always.
I think this is one of the few times that you should check the complete champion spotlight, cause his bio translates really well into his ingame abilities
kled is the epitome of "I don't know what I'm doing and you can't stop me"
4:00 it’s an Aztec Death Whistle for those wondering.
If you want some more light hearted thems, I really recomend braum, definitely one of the best
You either have a ptsd attack or become a frontliner as an ADC whenever Kled ults, you either die, or kill something.
NO PRISIONEEEERS
You should really listen to voicelines for some of these characters from the "Skin Spotlights" channel. You will be able to understand some of the lore around the character as well as some good characterazation. Especially Kled, he has some of the best voicelines in the entire damn game. Especially as he screams at the top of his lungs.
There is also an interpretation of Kled's tale in the lore - where in he killed many noxian military ranks, stole their uniform and got their title thinking if Kled kills this solier, I have this soldier's title
"As kled, you just go IN" - nickiboy 2023 - vid talking about season 6
as a kled main, yes, i go IN and probably die with someone besides me
Kled was one of the first champions to have released with the F bomb in his official voicelines when he released if i remember correctly
your first thoughts on him was exactlly what it feels like to go against Kled xD
To add on to the insanity of kled theres a bunch of fun facts on his wiki, one which includes the fact that Skarrl his mount's species is actually importal but both kled and skarrl are too dumb to realize that and skarrl is just to much of a chicken
I recommend watching (listening to) Kled´s voice lines in game.
They are fantastic.
"I am Kled! High Major Commodore of the First Legion Third Multiplication Double Admiral Artillery Vanguard Company! You will respect my authority!"
The Kled title is: Lord Major Admiral of the Second Legion’s forward artillery-cavalry multiplication xD
Kled has that "angry farmer with a shotgun" vibe on him
I'd like to suggest The Curse of the Sad Mummy, Amumu Music Video. That one is beautiful and tragic and just hits all the right buttons.
Kled is best described as a Loony Tunes character that somehow ended up in League of Legends.
as i wrote time to time... you should listen also to voicelines for champs, add so much deep to the character...
Irelia's theme always gives me chills, i would love to see you react to that. Another league of legends champion
There is no backing up when you play Kled. When you go for it you just GO FOR IT!
Can we do Irelia? I really love her music and think it's one of the best Riot has made. Her general thematic is also suuper cool
I Love how his face was like: "wtf did I just watch?"
My favorite part of Kled is that even the in game ability names are insane. His ultimate is named, and I swear this is real, CHAAAAAAAARGE!!! It is a running joke that any time a caster says it during a professional broadcast they have to scream it at the top of their lungs or it was pronounced incorrectly.
Great video as always! It's always fun to listen to someone experiencing for the first time the thing you love. If i can make suggestion i recommend listening to Rell`s theme from Leage. Its one of my favorite champions and pieses of music from this game. Im curious about your take on it.
Kled just feels like a tf2 character. I fucking love him.
Kled's just that character who just really hates everyone equally and would be chaotic neutral
It's just a guess but in my opinion that "scream" in 3:56 is supposed to be something that sounds more like a howl, like something animalistic since this is the part of the ost that shows us Kled - as legends about him say - in a way that tells us he is great warrior and general, someone dangerous so in this part the "howling" sound would be a symbol of a ferocious beast his mount is (not in reality of course) that is why I think it's supposed to be something like big scary lizard's hissing or roaring
The brave and bold brass
The unhinged bayou banjo
And the dumbass horn
Kled is HILARIOUS!
Nunu and Willump next?
Just filmed them but not next
You should do ivern!! his backstory is very tricky so I think it would be interesting to see what you can gather :)
Ah yes.. the best concept for a character in anything ever…
I’ve never clicked faster
This is such a nice serie, I've listened to these themes countless of times, listening to it with your analyze further made me like the music of league more! could you do Urgot, the Dreadnaught next?
Yup! Not next but he's on my list
Your face when music started was like "WTF?"
you should hear his voice lines even not knowing the game at all they are pretty funny
Amumu would be a great one you could listen to, his music video is great. Varus is my favorite champ, his login theme is skewed a little because they changed his lore. Also great music video. Last recommendation is seeing what you think of Kayn.
Yeah Kled is literally League’s Florida man. He has a pet lizard, and anything that rushes his front lawn gets shot
Kled is great, mostly a comedic relief character with a twinge of tragic when you realize that he has dementia.
I love these videos, you should listen to the Rell theme, its my favourite and a bit different from the others as its one of the only champion themes to include lyrics
shit... you did his voice pretty good from music alone! yarrr!
In fairness. The barbarians were at the border of his land, and more of his land.
OH NOOO, he's hittin all the jackpot yet again~!! xD
As expected from this guy~
