@@CaioHenrique-or1ng Ryze needs to draw cards to try to get more world runes. That's why when you use his Realm Warp he draws cards but discards any that aren't a spell. I'm pretty sure making Ryze be alone was intentional.
A Profound Truth itself can't be corrupted. It can be taught by a broken flawed man. This doesn't keep the lesson from being true & perfect. The lesson cant be corrupted. Only misrepresented.
my only disappointment with rune shards is that we dont have a shard that mentions lissandra’s sacrifice like it was a pretty big event in runeterra’s history
That happend at the beginning of Runeterra. If he can go past in time that far, thats crazy. If he knew about the Watchers, he would try to help Lissandra keep them imprisoned and not just let her do awfull stuff to keep Runeterra safe.
I think Ryze was actually friends with Kayle's mother, since both of them were "working" during the rune wars. And since Kayle met her mother in the celestial realm, she probably heard stories about Ryze.
@@Silenteric the other little angels have some hive mind thing going on with Mehira, maybe Kayle has her memories or something. Like the sun and moon lesbians gained some knowledge about the old days of solari and lunari after they acended. (I'm pretty sure at least Diana gained something like this).
Ryze: "The plan... is in motion. My blue EQuine followers shall portal here soon to defeat the darkin, although amongst all of the outcomes I've seen, only 40% lead me to a right path." Kayle: "Gramps, did you take your medication?"
@@Ajehy Runeterra was left a barren wasteland after Shurima's return. The battle between the ascendant emperor Azir and the betrayer Xerath had reduced the world to nothing. In the rubble, one woman stood, her mind broken. She had witnessed things that would break a normal human's mind. But, due to the magic within her, she found another escape. She began casting illusions all around her, people were walking the streets once again, buildings stood tall, the pride of the old lands returning. Then she found her purpose..she would *not* die alone. She would have a purpose, even a fake one.
I like that Ryze doesnt have supporting cards, i am not a fan of how LoR gives followers to all champions and most of the time it does feel weird like with Gwen, Kaisa, Bard. If the champion can have allies then it makes sense, Darius, Garen, etc... but i prefer for "solo" champions to have related cards that tell a story and not firectly follow them, such as Jhin with his followers being actually victims of a planned performance or Annie with other students of the conservatory.
Yeah, sometimes the folowers are really creative and fitting but sometimes they feel odd or even took away from the champions they supposed to connect to, like in my opinion Eve really did't needed them or the entire point of Jayce caracter was that he is kinda unberabel but in all of his cards he is geting along with pepole. (I think his cards just made Jayce look kinda boring tbh.)
At least in Gwen and Kai'sa's followers they are not really followers. They are a group they found recently. In Kai'Sa's case its people she met that don't trust her and probably don't even survive the fall of Bel'veth.
I like that Ryze is probably the only person in the whole world who can understand and somewhat forgive Viego. Could've been great to hear his thoughts out during the Ruination, and maybe even forge a potential redemption arc for the Ruined King. But, for that to happen, you need to reason with Viego, and Viego is not capable of listening to any voice, arguments and reasoning other than his own.
there are many that tried to save Viego in the book and he still went on and did what he wanted, what happened was deserved and I do not feel that i deserves redemption tbh. Would love to know however what would had happened to him if his queen was still alive.
@@zcaptaiin I’m curious about, how far gone Viego goes because in LoL the Ruination was totally a Circus with clown and joking characters so yeah i want to know
hopefully viego comes back "soon" since they teased that the chains are weakening. please let the man have a redemption arc or just have him become a actual RUINED king
@@davidguglielmo1177 The issue we have here is that Ruination itself is 1000 years (my bad, corrected) + it had many open spots/questions as to what some characters will be doing or were doing etc. Hopefully we get a second book at some point.
Absolutely incredible performance. In league, Ryze comes across as a goofy lanky character exclusively played by people who will ult the entire team into the enemy fountain. But here he seems like such a badass and powerful hero with a unique challenge only he can overcome.
Kayle's lore reveals that Mihira was chosen as the Aspect of Justice during the Rune Wars. Most likely Ryze and Kayle became acquainted with each other during this period, especially with Ryze hiding the World Runes beneath Demacia.
My headcanon for Ryze and Kayle being friends is that they’re both some of the original champions from 2009, I could be wrong but it would be nice little throwback
In the original and the very 1st LoL cinematic trailer in a 5v5 match, Kayle was about to be beat by Nasus only to saved by Ryze, and then Ryze gave Kayle her helmet back and then face Nasus team. In other words their interaction in LoR is a reference to the old cinematics.
The day Shaco gets into LOR, the world will rumble. Either they make a really good lore explaining his origins and story, or they put him with 2/3 cards and call it a day, dooming shaco to never being known. As a expansion pack, i feel he should come with fiddlesticks and neeko, and they would introduce a clon mechanic
I think his sudden hesitation and the question "should he?" is pertaining to him wondering if humanity is really worth saving or should be better off dead because of the constant threat they're causing in Runterra.
i really loved the fact that even ryze who is as powerful and wise ... cant judge viego actions.... he did fk up things and some really really bad mistakes.... but like he said who can judged a broken man with good intentions
I love how his unleveled version is questioning, asking "why" and "is it worth it?" Then when he levels up he understands, sees the humanity in each mistake and strives to work to make it better.
Maybe Ryze met Kayle some time before she ascended and worked with her occasionally, or Kayle, while searching for her mother in the celestial realm, occasionally had to come down to Runeterra for something and worked with Ryze during those times. I'm just throwing ideas.
Man I really hope after season 2 of Arcane, the next 2 seasons are about Ryze. There's so much potential in his story, and they said that Arcane is going to cover other Runeterran stories, 2 seasons at a time.
"We crave control, break our backs for it" Is an irony about how people are in control already with their spines, but would break them inadvertently to get more control while losing themselves and becoming disabled
I am interested how would they implement her, and i know she would be broken but since i gave up on hope that riot will at least try to balance the game i am all for it
The answer to the interaction with Kayle was mentioned in the previous video too. It is a reference to an old LoL cinematic where ryze saves kayle from morgana and nasus
I'm so grateful for this channel, because I'm one of the people that plays League but not LoR, but know how much of the lore (which I enjoy) I miss out on playing League.
The more I read about Viego the more I am convinced that the love he always talks about, was loving the idea of him and Isolde together. In a way his love did bring all this but it was the narcisistic love he had for what other people represented to him. I liked the book a lot.
In the book it was explained in Isolde's diary. He loved her deeply, as writters and others (fck Gwen) says, but in time he started treated her like a divine being. I think it's because of his child traumas so his obsession becomes understandable.
@@crisendeep178 understandable doesn't mean justified, and no I am sorry throwing your traumas into other people is not understandable. Being a bad person doesn't make him a bad character in this case quite the oposite is the interesting thing about Viego.
@@catelyntully9494 Everyone has biases, what are you even talking about? Everyone carries and drags both old and new problems into relationships. Yes, what he did was really bad, but like Ryze said, no one is completely innocent.
I really hope they do something with Ryze's story. I remember back in the day, he seemed like such an awesome character. Roaming the world, secretly keeping the end of the world at bay by stashing away the world runes. But now with the void, the darkiin, celestial dragons, Mordekaiser (genuinely one of the biggest threats to Runeterra, for those who don't know), the greater demons, and so much more, he just sounded like an idiot for a while. He has so many quotes where he's like "If only they knew the danger the world is in" and what such, but here he is focusing on the world runes, while all these extradimensional threats from every which direction? Newer stories have at least shown us that he's aware of these other existential issues, but they only makes it weirder that he's so concerned about the world runes. I mean, The Rune Wars just seem so inconsequential compared to all the other shit that's happening. Idk I just hope they can once again make him feel like a wise old mage who is so powerful that he can just about keep the world from dying, but even then it's only just barely and with great cost to his own life.
probably cuz it's easier for ryze to do so than trying to take on all those extradimensional threats on his own. said threats although are world threatening, usually some force of runeterra would try to stop em like kayle's celestials on the new darkin war, and if that wasn't enough, at least him joining the fray later would ward them off. leaving some world rune unattended could lead to even more hectic problems in the already problematic runeterra, since many a times did some power-hungry idiot would use the runes for themselves, leading to in-fightings and conflict among runeterrans. runeterra would be even more vulnerable to said outer threats in these times, and this all coulda be prevented simply with ryze stashing them away, one less problem absolved. and with ryze being ryze, retrieving the world runes would be a piece of cake compared to actively trying to stop the many threats here, more value for less an effort(for ryze)
Slight spoiler for the Ruination book, so proceed at your own discretion: The Ruination was the result of ONE World Rune getting into contact with Viego and Sanctity. What happened during the rune wars was very likely just a fraction of the world rune powers unleashed. On that note, it's also my headcanon that this shattered world rune Ryze is employing here is the one that was stored at the Blessed Isles prior to the Ruination. Would be cool if it had actually shattered upon Viego getting impaled onto it. (The book does mention the rune going dark)
the friendship between kayle and ryze might also be a nod from the original Welcome to League of Legends trailer (ryze was in kayle's side/team). yes, its an old media and not canon but its interesting to see them being friends in the canon universe now
Maybe I'm wrong but I find that implication that you playing the world rune cards in game is Ryze isn't ryze using them to fight but instead using them reflecting on humanity and whether or not he should help or not very interesting. So before he levels up he's doubtful and pessimistic but after level up he makes his decision to forgive the flaws of runterra and sound more determined. So rather than getting more powerful (in a narrative sense) over the course of the game , he's just making up his mind and once he does the game is won. Which sorta implies how powerful ryze is or maybe it's just a metaphor.
My theory is that Ryze spent some time in young Damacia while Kayle and Morgana still openly resided there (before their falling out), where Kayle and him presumably became friends
I Just don't understand why Aatrox's appearance is like that in Ryze's vision. This demonic appearance is what he looks like when he tries to mimic the Divine appearance he used to have before being trapped
These visions are not really those moments. Viego in this card stays alone with Isolde's corpse, but in real there was Thresh and it was happened underground.
How much i would love too se a Ryze rework which actually centers the theme of him connected to the world runes, perhaps he could be able to find them or buy them and then he would get some sort o new ability or something; at the moment he is just some random mage who runs really fast.
Well based on all the lore in this event and previous lore, i think we can all agree that the soutern lands of Runeterra really seem to be good at screwing things up for themselves and others
When Rune Wars was happening. Many people all around in runeterra is hiding. Such as how kayle and morgana was send to Petricite Forest what was known as Demacia by their parents to protect them. Perhaps... They meet Ryze then thousand years ago...
It's a damn shame because Shaco looks really freaking cool if only Riot would just do something with him. Like Jinx is like the harley quinn of Leauge of Legends they can make Shaco a demon version of The Joker or something else. If only Riot would just give shaco a chance and do something with him.
My idea of the world runes is that they aren't LITERALLY a corruptive and manipulative force. It's just that people no matter how pure their intentions end up abusing the power and becoming evil due to absolute power getting to their heads Even the kindest ruler may turn tyrant if he believes it is the right thing e.g. protect my people from these enemies can turn into kill these people before they can threaten my people
I think the order of you reading the cards might have been off. At least with Ryze and Delve. I think the order of reading is Ryze Level 1 > Delve > Ryze Level 2. Since I think the "Should he?" In delve is him asking if he should save Runeterra, of which after looking into the past a few times (and playing three World Runes), he decides that even though they may be stupid, he should save them. Answering his question in Delve.
Necrit I have a question which is an important one. Why Ryze skin is blue when he is young in the shard of betrayal? Didn't his Bio mention that he was turned that color because of the magic he sustained through out the years searching for runes and so on. but yet he is blue even when he is young before the moment he takes the lead of the runes after killing Tyrus. does that mean they retconned the lore by the ruination book? Because there is a skin in the game called young Ryze and he is not blue.
I feel like the shard of madness can't be from the first darkin war, but has to be from the current one starting in the new darkin cards (even though its just a what if scenario) since it looks like in this vision the darkin are already fused with their weapons, which happens after the darkin war, right? i mean, you can see the "heart" part in aatrox weapon
I would Love to watch a series Just about the Story of ryze from his childhood to now His adventures and Encounters spread over some episodes I mean he has so much to Tell and Show and could be a perfect Chance to do runterra worldbuilding If Riot wants to establish a League universe for TV and Cinema
I love how in Legenda of Runeterra, for Ryze to win the match with the world runes, he must be completely alone at the end
While i would love to belive that's the reason and not a thing that just happened by accident, they also made the shard of violence draw... So... Yeah i don't know how intentional that is but it cool anyways

How much i would love too se a Ryze rework which actually centers the theme of him connected to the world runes, perhaps he could be able to find them or buy them and then he would get some sort o new ability or something; at the moment he is just some random mage who runs really fast.
Love that Ryze is still the pseudo-protag of Runeterra
Well based on all the lore in this event and previous lore, i think we can all agree that the soutern lands of Runeterra really seem to be good at screwing things up for themselves and others
LoL is putting out so little lore that this youtube channel has become the biggest advertisement for Legends of Runeterra.
When Rune Wars was happening. Many people all around in runeterra is hiding. Such as how kayle and morgana was send to Petricite Forest what was known as Demacia by their parents to protect them. Perhaps... They meet Ryze then thousand years ago...
To be fair, “the aspect of twilight” seems to truly love aurelion… even if she thinks of him as a dog.
i LVOE ryze not only is he my third highest played champion but also i love his lore
i would just like to mention that riot was talking about a darkin dagger for League of Legends but wasnt really mentioned in Legends of Runetera.
Ryze and Kayle became a friend after they won a league game, talk a lot in discord, and here we are
Ryze is literally the superman of Runeterra. Gotta love this man
Ryze is the good Thanos ,The sustainer ,The keeper of balance on runeterra.
It's a damn shame because Shaco looks really freaking cool if only Riot would just do something with him. Like Jinx is like the harley quinn of Leauge of Legends they can make Shaco a demon version of The Joker or something else. If only Riot would just give shaco a chance and do something with him.
Man how i wish shaco to be added in LoR so he can have a proper lore
In Ruination it is said that Ryze is about 20 years old but in "shard of betrayal" he looks much younger to me
It's hilarious how everything outside of the Shadow Isles is at partially Azir's fault
the interactions are great love it, his voice is so badass also
ryze alway one of my favorite character and now i love him even morrrrreeeeee
the "Should he" line means if he really wanted to save Runeterra and its people.
16:06 War... War never changes.
i feel like ryze is a cautionary tale about the depths of desperation
18:40 speaking about shacco isnt it fun that the random frog from neeko's teaser has more lore than shacco
kayle and ryze being old friends could be a reference to the first cinematic trailer for league
About the cinematic at the beginning of the season....
My idea of the world runes is that they aren't LITERALLY a corruptive and manipulative force. It's just that people no matter how pure their intentions end up abusing the power and becoming evil due to absolute power getting to their heads
Even the kindest ruler may turn tyrant if he believes it is the right thing e.g. protect my people from these enemies can turn into kill these people before they can threaten my people
yeah we get that big cinematic :DDDDDD
If I recall one of his interactions mentioned that he is the one who is destined to use the world runes
9:16 no I think that was just generally what happened.
I like that you used the censored version of Kayle xD
Ryze is the Loki of Runeterra
The last rune ryze found is Shard of Hope then he became a Tired Hero to HERO
Damn
I think the order of you reading the cards might have been off. At least with Ryze and Delve. I think the order of reading is Ryze Level 1 > Delve > Ryze Level 2.
Since I think the "Should he?" In delve is him asking if he should save Runeterra, of which after looking into the past a few times (and playing three World Runes), he decides that even though they may be stupid, he should save them. Answering his question in Delve.
Violence, betrayal, reverence, hope, madness
I would love if at some point Ryze would need to use the power of multiple world runes and becomes an abomination, loosing his mind.
He's Nozdormu mixed with Algalon/The Titans ;)
Love the lore breakdowns, Necrit, but I just got to tell you... You've got some "holes" in those festive pants.
Necrit I have a question which is an important one.
Why Ryze skin is blue when he is young in the shard of betrayal? Didn't his Bio mention that he was turned that color because of the magic he sustained through out the years searching for runes and so on. but yet he is blue even when he is young before the moment he takes the lead of the runes after killing Tyrus. does that mean they retconned the lore by the ruination book? Because there is a skin in the game called young Ryze and he is not blue.
Ryze: War, war never changes.
Shaco was in every cinematic, just in his Q
I feel like the shard of madness can't be from the first darkin war, but has to be from the current one starting in the new darkin cards (even though its just a what if scenario) since it looks like in this vision the darkin are already fused with their weapons, which happens after the darkin war, right? i mean, you can see the "heart" part in aatrox weapon
The Darkin primarily look the way they do due to blood magic contorting and changing their bodies
One of my favorite champions on the whole LoL universe, tied with Jax.
Can't wait for Brand to have interactions with him.
Necrit! You're great! Keep being great!
Ryze.

I love Ryze so much, fav league character, I wish he got some respect in LoL but hopefully we get to see him often in the MMO
ngl i would be more hyped for a 10 sec video for ryze then a 10 min for shaco
ryze a real rygga for this fr
Hmm crazy thought, but what if we get to see the celestial who hid the world runes in the future thanks to LoR's exclusive champs like norra!
I would Love to watch a series Just about the Story of ryze from his childhood to now
His adventures and Encounters spread over some episodes
I mean he has so much to Tell and Show and could be a perfect Chance to do runterra worldbuilding If Riot wants to establish a League universe for TV and Cinema
I HAVE A THEORY.....
I THINK RYZE KNOWS ABOUT OUR WORLD EVERY CHANGE IN LOL HE KNOWS IT MAYBE RIGHT.....
Now i wonder.
What if there is an aspect of time?
