Its actually kind of crazy to think about how massive the League universe is beyond Arcane. Like you can tell full novels worth of stories without even touching on the characters from that show.
It is and it isn't. Since it started League was basically a map and a couple of locations/factions with probably less than a page of lore each. There was some lore to basically cement how the game is played and why it is there from a lore standpoint. That lore you can find within the unofficial League wiki (they keep practically everything). It wasn't until late-2014 did Riot announce plans to completely overhaul/re-work the lore of League of Legends. This was probably the first step into their future plans to expand the League lore and universe out into more mediums. To date they have made Legends of Runeterra (a card game similar to Hearthstone) as well as Valorant (a hero-shooter very much like CS:GO). They of course made Arcane as an animated series, and they announced back in 2016 they have an MMO in the works. And of course the Ruined King game (an RPG similar in format to Battle-Chasers). The first actual move in terms of story-driven lore was back in 2015, where they made a "Burning Tides". It was an in-game event which spanned four weeks which unfolded a story of the shifting of power within Bilgewater. It was basically playing League games to gain specific points to unlock small pieces of the story (the story in its entirety was later released at event's end). And on top of many Bilgewater champion getting more piratey-themed skines, one of them had a completely reworked classic model and skin as part of the story. The next real step didn't get taken until mid-2020, with the Spirit Blossoms event. This one more highlighted the mystic lands of Ionia, and added less of a larger story but more of a path with dialogue with several characters. Like before, you played League games to gain points in order to progress across a static map. But this time there was more of a concise direction, making it similar to many novella-styled games which acted like interactive books. And of course several Ionian champions received Spirit Blossom skins and some got differently themed skin. And they took another stab at it last year with the Sentinels of Light event. And while this event provided the most concise lore point (basically the why and how to the Shadow Isles) it also turned out to be very disappointing for players. While all champions involved got either Sentinel skin or a Ruined skin, ultimate the story felt rushed and cobbled together. None of the champions had any real thematic connection to each other outside being recruited by Lucian and Senna, and even the cinematic didn't exactly add up to the story at the end. You'd notice going back more than a few Sentinels were missing in the final cinematic, like Olaf and Rengar. Largely the playerbase felt too much time was spent for not enough reward, and it as a whole felt incomplete. And then ARCANE happened, and from the looks of it changed everything. It looked to be a runaway and unexpected success, even by Riot's predictions. And while Arcane is claimed to not be canon (the studio who produced had their writers go through the League universe portal) you can bet Riot will likely make it canon later. But now season 2 is in the works, Riot's further expanding the League lore through both their universe portal, their upcoming MMO, and other still unveiled projects, it's look pretty good. As for the question for what could be next for Arcane once the Piltover/Zaun thing wraps up? And while that could be years from now, right now my best guess would be Bilgewater. Presently it is one of the two most fleshed-out regions, and Ionia would... Need more work. Ionia had something of an incident pre-retconn, and the bits of lore we have been given that incident is still intact. The problem is that incident was predicated on events which have been erased (as we know). That could be a little trickier to parse out later, but Bilgewater has more potential right now. For one, PIRATES! The region is essentially an archipelago of islands, with the main city of Bilgewater sitting on the largest one. From what can be seen the place is a pirate haven and smuggler's den, who happens to be ruled by whoever has the strongest crew at the time. It has the feel less than a nation, with it seemingly dependent on either trade or piracy to provide goods and non-fish-cased food. But the REAL hook here is, "What is someone wanted more?" What if one champion decided they wanted Bilgewater to be more? To be its own nation? That could spark the other nations to respond, because the only thing worse than a pirate's den is an ORGANIZED pirate's den. Piracy and raiding provides a perfect opportunity to showcase other regions of Runeterra without having to invest as much into it. Like a "teaser" of the other lands, but who knows?
@@gabelous5049 That's not completely true. LoL had a pretty in depth lore back when it was first released. Basically after the last Rune War the League of Legends was established to mediate the differences between nations to prevent war. Representatives from each nation (Champions) would meet at the LoL, allow themselves to be controlled by the Summoners to fight in the ring (the game). In other words the game was actually Canon and you were the summoner. Back then the main source of lore was the Journal of Justice and the Champion interviews. They completely retconned the system in 2011/2012 however because the framework restricted the development of the lore and by extension the game. For a period of time there was very little lore that was Canon and that included the champion bios, most of which were slowly rewritten. You can still see vestiges of the original lore ingame such as referrences to "Summoner" or even the game itself. The current lore also reuses elements of the old lore heavily.
The hole on Viego's chest was made by Isolde. When Viego resurrected her, she was in such a state of shock and not herself that Isolde grabbed Viego's sword and stabbed him in the chest. Because of that, the Blessed Isles became the Shadow Isles.
I thought it became the Shadow Isles because Viego tried to revive a dead body and not because she stabbed him. (Haven't finished watching Ruined King yet though so idk. And no, I can't play it.)
The "She's still in there" line talks about Shyvanna (the dragon lady) being possessed by Viego. She is a loyal soldier of Demacia but she is shunned by most Demacians because she is half dragon. Viego used her pain of being discriminated to control her.
@@atlust2105 it’s sad:/ also justified with how Sylas is, as a mage, but there are mages like lux who are genuinely good. (She freed sylas but she genuinely thought to be doing a good thing I think, not too familiar with lore)
Necrit is pretty great. Tenebrix also delves into the lore if you want another view point. Both are pretty knowledgeable but have different ways of presenting. Necrit will full on read u the lore and gives you places to branch out to. Where tenebrix kinda lays it out flat and provides critique
Pyke is awsome he was left to drown came back from the depths of the abyss and hunts those who betrayed (he has a list of names) but after he kills them the list just adds more names and it messes with his memory
so glad you guys got all the videos in order, its such a big part of the lore and really is an amazing set piece for the whole world of runeterra since it involves literally everyone from all over the world.
I think they missed the "A night at the Inn" cinematic which concludes the whole story. And storty to what happened to thresh after Viego been defeated.
@@CarlieAndAnge If you guys want to see some of the Cinematics explained, I suggest you go through Tenebrix's reactions. After she goes through the cinematic she breaks it down from the perspective of someone who is deep into League's Lore.
You guys have great personalities, and are extremely enjoyable on screen, very genuine and authentic. Love watching you two get so interested in League!
Senna being freed was INSANE. A lot of lore in league has been retcond but when this animation came out it was CRAZY Now senna is free but with the help of isolde which is viegos queen
I also wanted to talk briefly about Noxus and Demacia. When Darius is fighting Samira, there was a comment about how Darius was supposed to be kind of a bad guy. When the game was first made, Noxus and Demacia were a very clear cut good versus evil. Like Gondor versus Mordor. As the lore has become more complex the two nations have become much more nuanced. These days, Noxus is a warlike, tough meritocracy. Sure life there can be harsh, but anyone of any station can gain rank and prestige by demonstrating skill or strength. When they conquer a nation, everyone (even the soldiers who fought against Noxus) is offered full citizenship in Noxus or the option to depart and find a new home. The law in Noxus is absolute, and applies to everyone. There are also hints in dialog and some of the teasers that the leader of Noxus, Jericho Swain, is trying to unite as many nations as he can before... something bad happens. (Ex: "Would they still struggle to survive if they could see what is to come?") Demacia, on the other hand, is a wonderful fantasy Utopia. Unless you're a mage. For most people, Demacia is a paradise. The lower classes are treated well, the upper classes are held to a high code of conduct, they deal peacefully with (most) other countries, education and artisanal training is widespread, and life is good. If you're a mage, however, Demacia is a brutal apartheid state. Mages, regardless of their actions, are treated like subhumans at best, monsters at worst. There are signs of change however: Garen's sister Lux Crownguard, Shyvana the half-dragon (the dragon in the cinematic), the mute musician-mage Sona, and the angel Kayle are all characters that have gained varying degrees of acceptance in Demacia. So yeah, it's a little more nuanced than Demacia Good, Noxus Bad.
It's also worth noting that the biggest reason Demacia hates magic is because of the devestation it caused during the Rune Wars. Except because of this paranoia, it willfully ignores its own history when it comes to Magic making most if not all who impose the anti-magic law, hypocrites. Garen for example, when Swain hints in his dialogue about him hating magic but being blind to the magic he carries into every battle he goes to. Lux might be more powerful but Garen definitely has innate magical abilities that manifests differently. Even their protector statue, Galio is ONLY powered by magic. He only comes alive when there's a boat load of magic power near him, and Lux is said to be powerful enough to actually awaken Galio by herself. Which is why she's his only friend. Poppy also is a magical being and yet is completely accepted in Demacia. She's literally one of the inspirations for the founding of Demacia. She's also carrying a magically imbued hammer, basically Demacian Mjölnir, that was once owned by the the founder of Demacia himself. She was told it belongs to and could only be used by a Hero of Demacia, and without knowing it could be her, so she's lived for centuries looking for but not finding a suitabale candidate. Even the Jarvans weren't worthy of the hammer. As for Noxus, this is hella tricky because of the existence of the Black Rose. Initially, Riot said they ruled Noxus openly, then disappeared and the Triumvirate came except the Black Rose was still manipulating things behind the scenes. Not sure if this got retconned but apparently, the new lore says thay Mordekaiser has had something to do with the formation of the Empire. Which is supposedly where the "strength is what matters and with it, you can take anything" national creed came from. They used to conquer stuff to show their strength and to generally just be dicks towards their closest neighbor but following their massive defeat in Ionia, they apprently stopped. Now i have no real clue as to what Jericho is doing and what for but they seem to be going back to their roots. After being corrupted by weakness from the nobles houses that started after the disappearances of Darkwill and Du Coutaeu, they regained control after Darius and Jericho took over. Except i no longer have any idea who the third seat of the Triumvirate is, because there's no way in hell it could be Katarina and it can't be Talon either. There's just too many factors and people that are similtaneously in play in Noxus that it's generally hard to know what their true alignment or agenda is at any given moment.
In short, both Demacia and Noxus are bad places, Demacia is a prejudiced and hypocritical hierarchy, and Noxus a nation of oppression against the weakest who invade and conquer even peaceful and balanced places like Ionia, is practically Evil Vs Evil
@@sthepcorms6747 Not exactly, Demacia accepts mages, but there are rules and laws, and if broken, the person will be judged, as proof of this, Demacia accept magical beings and mages from other countries in Demacia, in the demacian army itself there are magical species like Vestayas, so as long as they obey the rules and laws, mages live well. The problem was that with Sylas' revolt, things got worse and now magic and mages are really hated, they are now treated badly and one slightest mistake and they are fucked.
I really hope they include Bilgewater, Captain Miss Fortune, or just anything to do with pirates in season two of Arcane. Love me some pirates! Keep up the great videos!
It's just a wish of mine especially after playing Ruined King. Riot is sitting on a cash cow with Arcane. I'm sure they will do other spin-off series. Bilgewater given an Arcane-like treatment
I believe they will have to. Bilgewater has that frog demon in it. And fighting demons and demonic possession is the only way I can see for them to save Jinx. My guess is that the mine that Undercity works in is actually a portal to an Abyssal plane. Someone in Piltover summoned/opened the portal. It explains why there is such a difference between Piltover and Undercity, where the little demons that plague the undercity shores of the river between the cities come from, and the plants that shimmer comes from. Some connection to the Void and Void creatures. Demons suppressing compassion, inflicting depression and jealousy, fermenting suspicion and corruption, in order to harvest negative emotional energy among both populations. Meanwhile the summoner/opener experiences untold success and comfort at the expense of everyone else. Anyway, just some thoughts.
@@redtornado1337 That's not how Zaun is different from Piltover at all. In fact, Zaun is under the protection of a goddess(or at least I think she is a goddess).
They should react to the the music videos of the music that was featured in one of the videos they reacted in this video. - Rise -Phoenix - Legends Never Die -Take Over I know some of these are more player centric but I would still love for them to react to these.
Aaaye. I'd say all world's vids. I think there's a problem with 1 or 2 of the songs early on though. copyright or something. I think it's the first version of Warriors and 1 other.
The story was good , cinematics were awesome , Ruination and Sentinel skins are beautiful but sadly , the event in game was trash.... They spent so much time on what's around that they forgot to just a create a good game mode for this event , it was really repeatitive et to be honest kinda boring ! But at least RIOT admitted it , they appologized and promised to do better in their future lore realted events and I think it's a very honest and good reaction !
I started following your channel recently, I'm Brazilian and I really enjoy the videos, keep bringing content from league of legends and other games or animes please ❤❤
Something you just missed, after Lucian's team defeated Viego, Thresh showed himself in front Lucian to claim what he asked for the information he provided to defeat Viego. Senna didn't know about it but still thresh claimed a soul and now Thresh is reincarnated as a man you watched some cinematic before. This story only brings the real villian.
You can always just read the comics!! They're on Riot's lore page, Sentinels of Light, the name is the same. Also, Viego wasn't good before, he was useless, he didn't want to be king but he was the only option and so they crowned him for lack of another option. Then he got Isolde and ignored everything but her, then lost her and destroyed everything in a fit of rage. He was basically an indolent adolescent that didn't give a shit about anyone, I still can't explain to myself how Isolde ended up loving him.
Ruined King IMO is alot of fun and completely different from LoL, It also has difficulty settings and you can set it to very easy if you just want to enjoy the story. Highly recommend it
39:17 it's because this person is originally a League of Legends Champion : Shyvana. This whole story "Sentinels of light" story includes special skins for existent characters. Shodow Iles skins and Sentinels skins. Shyvana is among those who got a Shadow Iles skin, among with Draven, Karma, Pantheon and Miss Fortune. All these guys are originally good guys, that got possessed by Viego
And also they're already have a mini novel and three comics partnered by marvel the story is about ashe, lux and zed.. I think you can find them at league of legends website
Its so nice watching you two discuss league lore. You're pretty spot on :) another lore youtuber you might wanna check out is Tenebrix. Definitely subbing to watch more of your stuff!
Ruined King is most definitely a worthwile game to play! I highly, highly, highly recommend it. Another thing to add. I, as well as many other lore nerds, are so frustrated with Riot. The Ruination event was a big event, and they dropped the ball so hard. Hence, Ruined King is kind of the "canon" ending in my eyes. So much better written and executed. Good video, as always! Funny as well!
9:12 Serah Fortune, Miss Fortune, Captain Fortune after the Bilgewater event a few years back when she killed Gangplank and assumed captain of the city. Yes Ruined King is fun, if you like turn based RPGs like Final Fantasy, they did some interesting mechanics that make it unique and interesting. Bit confusing at first, but really interesting.
you said you loved the music when you were reacting to the ruined king launch trailer, actually it's a remix, i don't know if u watched it already but the song is called "rise" and the cinematic, as usual, is incredible (y)
I know I'm late and this was probably mentioned, but there's been an item in the game called blade of the ruined king like pretty much since the start of the game, and a lot of items change names or just get completely removed, this is one that has stayed mostly intact so when we saw viego was the ruined king that was like a lot of hype we didn't even know was building up lmao. Just for some context
wow you did a really great work with this video, even made me kind of not hate too much the ruination event hahaha that event is the worst thing made by riot sadly. But awesome work reacting to everything, I loved it! thank you very much!
Fun fact: Ruination got a lot of bad reviews from players for not being lore accurate. If not being accurate is that good, imagine how it would be when it is
If you didn’t notice the scene where Darius gets turned by veigo is the area where mel from arcane painted on her wall. The giant building with the twin towers is called the immortal bastion it’s a main landmark of noxius.
Actually Viego is on Pentakill band, he appears in the interactive live concert of pentakill's new album you haven't watched yet, even he sings in a couple of badass songs.
Idk if anyone's said it but the reason why there aren't cinematics for a lot of the recap stuff is because the even had a little interactive story type game for the Ruination event. So that's why there's no cinematics or in depth videos for those portions in the recaps.
Like before watching, this here is the trust I put on you guys jaja After watching: I watched another reaction of this "series", and I felt like something was left behind, same with this one, but now I know it was the Akshan trailer the one that was missing. It's called Akshan, the rogue sentinel, it has more like in-game stuff than others, but still would be of help to know who he is.
Ruined King is a really good game! You don't have to even know anything about League to play it. Probably my favorite game I played last year, would highly recommend.
it isnt a mytery how Isolde (Viegos Wife) died. the story went as following: Viego was not a good King towards his people, he was young and had no interesst in ruling, his only interesst was his Love, Isolde. One day an assasin went to kill Viego, by poisining him, but instead poisend Isolde. no medecin could cure this poisen. So Viego sents on of his closest Offizers, Kalista , to serach for a cure. She found a lake guarded by monks, lake filled with live and very strong magic, basically the core of life and magic of this country. When she (kalista) went back to report, Isolde was already dead, desperat and broken Viego still toke Isoldes Body to the lake, and while the guarding monks tried to stop him, they were killed by Hecarim and since kalista tried to convince viego to stop, she got stabbed by hecarim (Hecarim is that shadow horse u see, and kalista has an own cinemaic). Betrayed, kalista swore vengence. Viego put Isolds body in the lade and for a brief moment she came to life, but was deforming, out of shock and horroe Isolde took the sword from viego and stabbed him right through his heart (literally a broken heart) Viego fell and the lake got corrupted by isolds and Viegos dead bodies and the powerful magic of that lake got corrupt. In that very moment the magic spread across the bless iles corrupting every living thing and the blessed isles became the shadow isles. In that very Moment Viego came back to life as the ruind King and Isold died instantly and her Soul broke and Spread to some objects of her former life, and into Senna and Gwen(the puppet). Senna has basically 2 souls, her own and a part of Isolds, Gwen has a part of isoldes souls which made that puppet come to life and the rest of the sould remain on objects. Btw. That triangly shapped hole in viegos chest is where he got stabbed through and the mist is basically comming out of it. the MIst, as viego discibs it, is the broken heart and sadness of Isolds death. i recommend u to read the story urself or watch some expaination by necrit. it is a nice story and u might see many similarities between lucian getting back his wife from dead and viego trying to od the same thing. unfortunaly Riot did disappoint the lore fans with this, since they missed many oppertunities. hope that helped understnad the story more

your reactions are the best guys. I watched a lot of reactions but your are best so far cuz u keep digging into the lore which really gives me a smile. Hope u have a good day and cant wait another videos!
The name of Veigo's wife is Isolde, she was a seamstress and her soul was split into pieces which were are scattered around the region. Veigo is collecting them in order to bring her back. One piece is in Senna, another in Gwen.
I found your channel a few days ago and I love your reactions and how you connect with the story, I believe a lot of lore on the ruination and viego is given in the Ruined King game.
I'm not sure if you guys have watched the star gaurdian ones yet but i'd loveee to see you guys watch them, they're a skinline based in a seperate timeline simular to kda. It has ahri, jinx, lulu, miss fortune, lux and many other characters you will recognise and the music in the most recent one is so beautiful!
The story actually tries to show 2 sides of ''love''. Viego+İsolde vs Luci+Senna. Both Viego and Luci lost their waifus. And they both want them back for any cost.
Okay so I don't 6hink there is a cinematic for the prequel of how the Blessed Isles turned into the Shadow Isles but I shall try to explain it the best I could. So Viego and Isolde fell in love but here's what the cinematics don't tell you; they didn't tell you that Viego became a King at a very young age so his decisions were more impulsive and since he married Isolde at that young age, he focused his world on his Queen and not his Kingdom. Due to this fact, many wanted Viego dead so one lunch ago, Viego was eating with Isolde and with other ' guests ' but one of the guests was actually an assassin who, instead of killing Viego, kills Isolde. Viego becomes so depressed that he had his Queen in a room where he stays with her grave alone while she gets Kalista, his trusted soldier of sorts but there is a side drama here. See Kalista was entrusted to look for a cure around the world for Isolde, this task was given by Viego but Kalista was framed by Hecarim. Hecarim was the centaur you keep seeing and he was the head of Viego's army who is also the reason for Kalista's death but lemme get back to Kalista. So Kalista finds the cure in the Blessed Isles. The blessed Isles had waters that could bring the dead back but also had dangerous magical artifacts. The blade of the kings is an artifact(as I remember?? Not really sure). So Kalista told Viego despite the Blessed Isles people to only trust their knowledge and magic to Kalista and Viego went. Viego carried Isolde to the waters but what awaited him was an Isolde in panic so much so that she stabbed Viego, killing him and starting the Ruination. The Ruinatioon corrupted everyone except those who either have the waters of the Blessed Isles or Isolde's soul fragments. The Blessed Isles turned into the Shadow isles once Isolde stabbed Viego with the blade of the kings that now is known as the blade of the ruined king. So even Viego got corrupted by the Ruination, he does not remember that Isolde was the one who killed him. He ONLY remembers that he loves his wife and he needs his wife back and he will do everything in his power to bring her back, not expecting the outcome that Isolde didn't want to be brought back.
So The Shadow Isles and the Ruined King that ruled them is something that has existed in League lore for a VERY long time, but as a mysterious and ominous figure. The end of the announcement trailer for the Ruined King game when Viego is revealed is the first time ANYONE had seen what the Ruined King himself actually looks like. Viego joined the actual League of Legends game soon after.
Let me try to add some other details. There are some side histories on LOL website that add info to the Ruination event. You already saw from the Aladdin vibes guy Akshan telling Isolde died, well she was actually killed by a kingdom enemy. Then, Viego was in such a pain that he became the ruined king after many crazy magic stuff trying to have back his wife. MANY MANY MAAAANY years later, a young Senna was playing near the beach and the dark mist reach and touch her. (Long story short) Isolde “feels” Senna and put part of her soul inside her. Senna knows that something (or a voice) guide her but it was until she grow up and became part of the sentinels, she realized what it was Isolde, also because she was tortured by Tresh inside the lamp. Senna and Lucian is one of the “goal” couples of LOL according to the fans. Because of Senna, Lucian became a sentinel. Senna helped Lucian when he was in pain, and he felt in love, then a beautiful love story. Now, Senna is a support and Lucian a ADC in game. Basically this two roles go together in the same line. The cinematics show Senna’s abilities as support when she shots Lucian to shield him (in game the shot heals). Also in game, Senna absorbs the dark souls, so she become stronger. Now , Gwen… she is an actual living doll. When Isolde dived her soul, she putted one on the doll and became alive. Not sure if outside the game she is a real human being, but in game when she dies, she became a doll again. Isolde made her as part of his hobbies. The giant magic scissors are Isolde’s scissors. Now, the idols universe. Senna is part of True Damage, and when she sings on the MV you can see a giant version of her gun. Viego is part of Pentakill but you didn’t saw him on the other video because he joined them until the last album (August 2021). He is a guitarist. Olaf (the guy with two axes) is also part of the group. Side note: sorry if I cannot explain myself, English is not my first language. 😅
Part 2 Thresh was a psychopath before he was turned in what he calls his "Best Self". He took Sienna's soul during an altercation with her & her husband Lucian were fighting back the black mist as Sentinels. He took her not only to torture her but to torture Lucian as he knew that would be worse then killing him. But Sienna with the help of the fragment of the Queen's soul, learned to harness the power that was attracting the Black Mist to her & the Queen. Forging a new weapon & breaking out when Lucian injected some light into the lantern. Unfortunately Veigo tracks down the fragment & wants to take it from her. The Azakana which you were pronouncing right, was a different Azakana. Taliyah is the name of the Eartbender you see in the Climb trailer. She is Shuriman & will have a big roll in The Call trailer when you watch it. Blitzcrank is the robot's name. Miss Fortune in the Climb trailer is being tested by Illoai & Nagakabouros whose tentacles you see. In the Ruination trailer while Veigo is forcefully trying to rip the shard of his Queen from Sienna's chest. You see the Black Mist erupt from spiritual weak points all across Runeterra. In Noxus Darrius & Samira (Bounty Hunter & 😍). Everyone is good from their view points by the way. In Demacia Poppy (Yordle) & Vain (the evil b*tch with the crossbow, I'll explain later.) In Ionia Karma actually overpowered the corruption due to her basically being the vessel for the Great Spirit of Ionia. The symbol at the end is that of Sentinels. In-game the Ruination event fell apart. Do to the Pandemic & Riots rush to keep the deadlines without proofreading their work it was just bad. The new Sentinels of light we got didn't make sense & let explain. In-game we got Sentinel skins for: Olaf Vain Pyke Graves Diana Riven Irellia And a new character & Sentinel in Akshan but most of them lore wise didn't make sense & the lore from the event didn't fix it. You literally had like 3 different lore points between the Ruination game, League, and the event's interactive storyboard. So I'll leave it there but I'll do one last comment on the secondary characters later. But seriously f#ck Vain or Vayne however you spell her name. Necrit or Tenebrix will tell you why. Necrit is nicer about it then Tenebrix, but she's more real about it. I recommend a watch through.
Loving the reaction even if the whole Ruination event was bad... (Still mad that Pantheon got possessed by Viego when he has amazing willpower. Riot trying to sell skins smh.)
Really appreciate your content, happy to have stumbled upon your channel during the league reactions. Definitely got a new sub here. Riot is insane, so many details, connections, stories & crazy production (and somehow they still keep it true to the actual video game!!!). Too much talent in this company.
8:42 Oh, it's remix of RISE (Worlds' song 2018) 9:32 I'll say it like a meme: "My name is Sarah Fortune, but everybody calls me Miss Fortune" :) 15:38 It's creatures called Vastaya. "The Vastaya are chimeric creatures of Runeterra whose lineage contains both human blood and the spiritual magic of a pre-human race." Conditionally we can say that this is a mix of human and animal. There are only 7 of them in the league of legends universe. The most interesting of them is Ahri [foxlike], Xayah and Rakan [birdlikes] (the last two are lovers; there is an interesting cinematic about them, which is called "Wild magic") 18:16 It's Taliyah, The Stoneweaver, nomadic mage from Shurima Also u can see her in "The Call" video, which was written about in the pinned comment :) 18:40 It's Blitzcrank, The great steam golem. There is a teaser to this robot in the Arcane, in the scene of the discussion of the work on hextech between Viktor and Jayce (in the already destroyed house of the second). Maybe he will appear in the second season, who knows ;) 31:53 Her name is Samira. Mercenary. Fleeing the war-ravaged Shurima as a child, she found her calling in Noxus. 36:24 It's Shyvana, The half-dragon. "Shyvana is a creature with pure elemental magic blazing in her heart. Though she most often appears humanoid, she can take her true form when necessary-that of a fearsome dragon, incinerating her foes with fiery breath. Having saved the life of the crown prince Jarvan IV [which is present in the game], Shyvana now serves uneasily in his royal guard, struggling to find acceptance among the suspicious people of Demacia." 45:10 His name is Graves. 45:39 Actually one of the seven Vastaya featured in the game. His name is Rengar [lionlike], The Pridestarker. "Rengar is a ferocious vastayan trophy hunter who lives for the thrill of tracking down and killing dangerous creatures. Stalks his prey neither for food nor glory, but for the sheer beauty of the pursuit."
I’m half a year late but if u guys haven’t seen by now, the LoL champion “Kalista”’s lore perfectly explains the backstory to the ruination and how Isolde died. They just came out with a book about her story called “Ruination”. They have an animated trailer for the book as well that perfectly explains what caused the ruination so you can watch that without having to read anything!
Short character naming : Guy with 2 pistols : Lucian, Sentinel of Light, went on a mission to rescue his wife Senna. Lady with huge canon : Senna, Sentinel of Light, got sucked into Thresh's lantern and was trapped in there until she was saved by Lucian, they're now on a mission to recruit more sentinels and stop Viego. Samurai : Yasuo, exiled after being framed for the death of his master Fox Lady : Ahri, doesn't really have a plot IIRC, she just wants to seduce people and take their soul, although she feels guilty about it. I think she wants to find a way stay alive without having to do that? Guy with the knife and mask : Pyke, former pirate, was betrayed by his crew/didn't get help from them and drowned, got revived by an evil god and is now taking revenge on everyone that's on his list. Although he's just insane at this point and thinks everyone is on that list, and if they aren't he'll make up a reason for them to be on there. Guy with the shotgun : Graves, bilgewater criminal, partner in crime of Twisted Fate, nothing more to it. Pirate Lady : Sarah Fortune, pirate captain, her guns were made by her parents for a young sailor(at the time, now he's the most feared pirate captain) named Gangplank, who used said guns to kill Sarahs parents. Lady that carries a skull(the muscular one in the ruined king announcement trailer) : Illaoi, high priestess of a great sea serpent god named Nagakabouros, she's the one that saved Gangplank from death by putting him through a trial if he's worthy enough to continue living. Lady with Crossbow : Vayne, parents got killed by monsters, she's now obsessed with killing monsters. Lady that transforms into a Dragon : Shyvana, crossbreed of dragon and human, trusted by the King of Demacia after they fought side-by-side. But since she's technically not fully human, Vayne hates her with all her heart and the only reason she doesn't kill her is because Shyvana is very close to the king. Little furball(Yordle) with a hammer : Poppy, yordle with a big hammer that she inherrited from her master, set out to find the next hero that is worthy to wield said hammer, not knowing it's herself. Lady that fights the mist alone on the circle platform : Karma, spiritual leader of Ionia, incarnation of the will of Ionia. Guy with big axe : Darius, noxian general. Lady with sword and gun : Samira, former slave, but due to noxus's mentality of "The strong will rise, the weak will die", she managed to climb out of slavedom and is now a mercenary for hire. Guy with the pistol / grappling hook : Akshan, sentinel of light, his gun is a relic called the Absolver. It revives people if the gun kills the dead peoples killer. And since Isolde is technically the reason why Senna died (She died due to Isolde's soul leaving her body), Akshan revived Senna by destroying Isolde. Guy with the spear at the end : Pantheon, demi-god of mount targon, will NOT use his powers if fighting against someone that he deems unworthy. (The reason why he's the bad guy here : Viego/The Black Mist has the ability to mind-control people and serve Viego. Pantheon and Shyvana fell victim to that. (And others that weren't shown to be corrupted in the cinematic like, Draven, Karma and Miss Fortune, there were also some Sentinels that weren't shown in the cinematic : Irelia, Diana, Riven and Rengar) Lady with giant scissors : Gwen, a doll made by Isolde, came to life after absorbing part of her soul and helps the Sentinels stop Viego, since she's basically a fragment of Isolde's personality and as we saw Isolde doesn't want Viego to do what he's doing. Skeleton with chainscythe&lantern : Thresh, warden of souls on the shadow isles, plotting ,and through the victory of the sentinels succeeding, in overthrowing Viego and be free to do whatever he wants. Guy that tries to kill literally everything to bring back his queen : Viego, former prince of Camavor (The place they entered through the portal in the last cinematic), lost his love Isolde, revived her on the blessed isles, succeeded, things took a 180° turn real quick as Isolde refused to let that happen, struck Viego with his own sword (Hence the hole in his chest) and therefor just half-finishing the ritual, so Isolde, instead of getting revived, got split into many pieces. One is inside Senna, one is inside Gwen(a doll Isolde made, as she was a seamstress, came to life after absorbing a part of Isoldes soul) and the rest is in different objects around the world. There's entire books worth of story about each of those characters, but that's the general gist of things on how they came to be where they're at now.
I love how in the game Lucian can easily dodge Thresh' hooks just like in the cinematic. Senna isn't bad when she's freed. Her gun protects allies (shields and heals them in game) and only affects enemies.
Imo, the best way to truly understand Viego, is watching the intro to the Ruined King game. Don'r wanna spoile it, but his face as he does what he does, and as Isolde does what she does, gives me chills every single time.
Hey guys, if you want visual explanation of exacly how the ruination originated, check the "Ruined King (game) Opening Cinematic ". In the 3 min video, you will see why the black mist comes from Viego's hole in his chest and how it came to be.
It really amazes me how you can keep up with the names. I mean, it's easy for league players, but for people coming from arcane, it's really impressive! Love your reactions btw
You probably know by know that thresh traps the souls of his victims in his lantern. Now after I don't know how long Lucian freed Senna from the lamp. yes, like you said Lucian and Senna were husband and wife. There has always been that bit of lore in the game putting in that rivalry between Lucian and Thresh and now they actually said "lets make Lucian's wife a new character in the game and bring her out of that lamp"
If you're into turn based RPG and the league lore, then the ruined king game is definitly greaty! You get a ton of cool interactions between characters, it's lovely
Ahh, The Ruination. I'm so torn on this event, and there is a LOT to say about it. On the one hand, I love that they went ambitious with such a large scale event, focused around the release of the single player Ruined King game (which by the way is fantastic, but sadly got delayed which sort of threw off parts of the narrative for the rest of the event). On the other hand, the event itself took such a massive dump on Runeterra lore, which wouldn't be apparent to those watching these for the first time. A lot of this story was told in the LoL client as a visual novel (these are the bits you see as catchups with Akshan), where you teleported all over the world to recruit new sentinels. A neat idea, but their choices for which champions were included was baffling, many of them were just there to give the odd one liner, or would act completely out of character. Meanwhile there are champions such as Yorick (You will have seen his Pentakill skin in Mortal Reminder), who's lore is entirely based around the ruined king, who were either on screen for 30 seconds, or omitted entirely. As others have mentioned, Necrit's Ruining the Ruination video probably explains the problems best. Still though, they've said that despite the poor reception, they're not done trying massive events like this so I'm hopeful!
"But Ahri(was 👌)... She's technically an Animal, that might be wrong of me. I might lay off." I'm fucking crying! 😂😂 I get u bro, Ahri was Waifu especially when I read that Doujin of Ahri and WW... 👀
Btw just as a reminder, ''Thresh Unbound: A Night at the Inn'' video happen after that ruination event. You watched that video at your TALES OF RUNETERRA video. That's where Thresh became like human form. He plan something but we don't know yet. He might be main villain after what happen Viego. I really liked your LOL reaction videos. I watched them all and you guys my favorite lol reaction channel. And i found this channeI because i'm in love with Runeterra universe. It's my favorite fantastic universe. There are too much good story and characters. U can check runeterra website for all (comics, storys etc.) or you can check Necrit's channel at least.
Daddy Necrit is the go-to man. I watch him 2yrs now. Some people called him daddy coz it was like "Daddy, tell me a story." League of legends lore is so broad yet beautiful. Like Viego's love.. it's so pure then became poisonous to him and made him corrupted.
If you want to fully understand league universe(s) watch this 12min video. Explains a lot, and where to get more info. th-cam.com/video/RnVCYgwdcDw/w-d-xo.html
It’s important to say that “THE RUINED KING” is a stand-alone game made by riot, with the league characters and lore, and “THE RUINATION” is the event in the game “league of legends”.
yone and Viego are my two main, and they are undoubtingly sickest champs they have made, I mean yes Viego is a bad guy, but he became bad after these people are becoming the barrier between him and his queen, and that blue thing was her Queen, I mean if she would've handed him his queen, none of this would've happened and she knew she was dead and it was supposed to be that way and she explained it to him all about that, in the end, anyway. This is why I chose viego to play, he was loyal (a little over the top) for his love, not everyone is like that
Noxian People aren't "bad people". They just live with the right of the strongest. They 've a lot of honor for people, who are not weak and hide themselves behind other people. :)
i love the girl version of "rise," but i do prefer the mako version. his voice is soooo great. (there's a music vid for it).. i love your LoL cinematics reactions, btw. i'm not a gamer but i'm a fan of riot's art & music choices.
Where’s The Call reaction??? HA! we asked before any of you did! 😆
We’ll get to it soon guys! ❤️
Where's the call reaction
😁
XD
Some are saying that "The Call" is going to be a big event to.
War is comming ...
I actually like that you take your time tbh. Great reaction once again.
Its actually kind of crazy to think about how massive the League universe is beyond Arcane. Like you can tell full novels worth of stories without even touching on the characters from that show.
It’s crazy! And we love it 😍
Heck, ot goes even further, they have made stories, great stories at that, in which no champion even appears, all just inhabitants of the world.
It is and it isn't. Since it started League was basically a map and a couple of locations/factions with probably less than a page of lore each. There was some lore to basically cement how the game is played and why it is there from a lore standpoint. That lore you can find within the unofficial League wiki (they keep practically everything). It wasn't until late-2014 did Riot announce plans to completely overhaul/re-work the lore of League of Legends. This was probably the first step into their future plans to expand the League lore and universe out into more mediums. To date they have made Legends of Runeterra (a card game similar to Hearthstone) as well as Valorant (a hero-shooter very much like CS:GO). They of course made Arcane as an animated series, and they announced back in 2016 they have an MMO in the works. And of course the Ruined King game (an RPG similar in format to Battle-Chasers).
The first actual move in terms of story-driven lore was back in 2015, where they made a "Burning Tides". It was an in-game event which spanned four weeks which unfolded a story of the shifting of power within Bilgewater. It was basically playing League games to gain specific points to unlock small pieces of the story (the story in its entirety was later released at event's end). And on top of many Bilgewater champion getting more piratey-themed skines, one of them had a completely reworked classic model and skin as part of the story.
The next real step didn't get taken until mid-2020, with the Spirit Blossoms event. This one more highlighted the mystic lands of Ionia, and added less of a larger story but more of a path with dialogue with several characters. Like before, you played League games to gain points in order to progress across a static map. But this time there was more of a concise direction, making it similar to many novella-styled games which acted like interactive books. And of course several Ionian champions received Spirit Blossom skins and some got differently themed skin.
And they took another stab at it last year with the Sentinels of Light event. And while this event provided the most concise lore point (basically the why and how to the Shadow Isles) it also turned out to be very disappointing for players. While all champions involved got either Sentinel skin or a Ruined skin, ultimate the story felt rushed and cobbled together. None of the champions had any real thematic connection to each other outside being recruited by Lucian and Senna, and even the cinematic didn't exactly add up to the story at the end. You'd notice going back more than a few Sentinels were missing in the final cinematic, like Olaf and Rengar. Largely the playerbase felt too much time was spent for not enough reward, and it as a whole felt incomplete.
And then ARCANE happened, and from the looks of it changed everything. It looked to be a runaway and unexpected success, even by Riot's predictions. And while Arcane is claimed to not be canon (the studio who produced had their writers go through the League universe portal) you can bet Riot will likely make it canon later. But now season 2 is in the works, Riot's further expanding the League lore through both their universe portal, their upcoming MMO, and other still unveiled projects, it's look pretty good.
As for the question for what could be next for Arcane once the Piltover/Zaun thing wraps up? And while that could be years from now, right now my best guess would be Bilgewater. Presently it is one of the two most fleshed-out regions, and Ionia would... Need more work. Ionia had something of an incident pre-retconn, and the bits of lore we have been given that incident is still intact. The problem is that incident was predicated on events which have been erased (as we know). That could be a little trickier to parse out later, but Bilgewater has more potential right now. For one, PIRATES! The region is essentially an archipelago of islands, with the main city of Bilgewater sitting on the largest one. From what can be seen the place is a pirate haven and smuggler's den, who happens to be ruled by whoever has the strongest crew at the time. It has the feel less than a nation, with it seemingly dependent on either trade or piracy to provide goods and non-fish-cased food. But the REAL hook here is, "What is someone wanted more?" What if one champion decided they wanted Bilgewater to be more? To be its own nation? That could spark the other nations to respond, because the only thing worse than a pirate's den is an ORGANIZED pirate's den. Piracy and raiding provides a perfect opportunity to showcase other regions of Runeterra without having to invest as much into it. Like a "teaser" of the other lands, but who knows?
@@gabelous5049 That's not completely true. LoL had a pretty in depth lore back when it was first released. Basically after the last Rune War the League of Legends was established to mediate the differences between nations to prevent war. Representatives from each nation (Champions) would meet at the LoL, allow themselves to be controlled by the Summoners to fight in the ring (the game). In other words the game was actually Canon and you were the summoner.
Back then the main source of lore was the Journal of Justice and the Champion interviews. They completely retconned the system in 2011/2012 however because the framework restricted the development of the lore and by extension the game. For a period of time there was very little lore that was Canon and that included the champion bios, most of which were slowly rewritten. You can still see vestiges of the original lore ingame such as referrences to "Summoner" or even the game itself. The current lore also reuses elements of the old lore heavily.
@@gabelous5049 Also some agents(champs) from Valorant plays LoL and some are also Arcane fans

The hole on Viego's chest was made by Isolde. When Viego resurrected her, she was in such a state of shock and not herself that Isolde grabbed Viego's sword and stabbed him in the chest. Because of that, the Blessed Isles became the Shadow Isles.
Oh dang….
@@CarlieAndAnge there is a cinimatic showing how he turned and what happened to the shadow ilse
@@kingdrogo6124 it’s the opening cinematic to the ruined king game right?
@@chainsawboy2388 yep
I thought it became the Shadow Isles because Viego tried to revive a dead body and not because she stabbed him. (Haven't finished watching Ruined King yet though so idk. And no, I can't play it.)

That robot that Ekko is with is Blitzcrank, Viktor made him to help out the people in Zaun with chemical spills and more
The "She's still in there" line talks about Shyvanna (the dragon lady) being possessed by Viego. She is a loyal soldier of Demacia but she is shunned by most Demacians because she is half dragon. Viego used her pain of being discriminated to control her.
Oh damn! That’s so sad:( I assume it’s because dragons are born with magic potential so demacians don’t like them?
@@skyicy7383 I think so
@@atlust2105 it’s sad:/ also justified with how Sylas is, as a mage, but there are mages like lux who are genuinely good. (She freed sylas but she genuinely thought to be doing a good thing I think, not too familiar with lore)
Necrit is pretty great. Tenebrix also delves into the lore if you want another view point. Both are pretty knowledgeable but have different ways of presenting. Necrit will full on read u the lore and gives you places to branch out to. Where tenebrix kinda lays it out flat and provides critique
YESS THIS
Yeah u right I love how Necrit is more restrained while Tenebrix is more emotional, this is actually the synergy of two of them
And just add TBSkyen in case you want to know how the visuals are done. These 3 cover pretty everything interesting in a video 😃👍
Just be aware that Necrit definitely keeps his biases out of his videos more than Tenebrix.
Well this might be usefull for them to but if you want there history animated you can watch Dave c he creates animated lore of league characters
Pyke is awsome he was left to drown came back from the depths of the abyss and hunts those who betrayed (he has a list of names) but after he kills them the list just adds more names and it messes with his memory
Pyke is awesome!
so glad you guys got all the videos in order, its such a big part of the lore and really is an amazing set piece for the whole world of runeterra since it involves literally everyone from all over the world.
Yep, our amazing Patreon member really came through with that! Otherwise we woulda been lost trying to order these ourselves 😅
I just hope Riot reboots the Ruination at some point. Its so awful...
I think they missed the "A night at the Inn" cinematic which concludes the whole story. And storty to what happened to thresh after Viego been defeated.
@@stifnoxii8591 they watched it already in another video
@@CarlieAndAnge If you guys want to see some of the Cinematics explained, I suggest you go through Tenebrix's reactions. After she goes through the cinematic she breaks it down from the perspective of someone who is deep into League's Lore.
You guys have great personalities, and are extremely enjoyable on screen, very genuine and authentic. Love watching you two get so interested in League!
Wow thanks heaps! We’re enjoying the videos heaps. And interacting with everyone is great as well 😊
Senna being freed was INSANE. A lot of lore in league has been retcond but when this animation came out it was CRAZY Now senna is free but with the help of isolde which is viegos queen
I also wanted to talk briefly about Noxus and Demacia. When Darius is fighting Samira, there was a comment about how Darius was supposed to be kind of a bad guy. When the game was first made, Noxus and Demacia were a very clear cut good versus evil. Like Gondor versus Mordor. As the lore has become more complex the two nations have become much more nuanced.
These days, Noxus is a warlike, tough meritocracy. Sure life there can be harsh, but anyone of any station can gain rank and prestige by demonstrating skill or strength. When they conquer a nation, everyone (even the soldiers who fought against Noxus) is offered full citizenship in Noxus or the option to depart and find a new home. The law in Noxus is absolute, and applies to everyone. There are also hints in dialog and some of the teasers that the leader of Noxus, Jericho Swain, is trying to unite as many nations as he can before... something bad happens. (Ex: "Would they still struggle to survive if they could see what is to come?")
Demacia, on the other hand, is a wonderful fantasy Utopia. Unless you're a mage. For most people, Demacia is a paradise. The lower classes are treated well, the upper classes are held to a high code of conduct, they deal peacefully with (most) other countries, education and artisanal training is widespread, and life is good. If you're a mage, however, Demacia is a brutal apartheid state. Mages, regardless of their actions, are treated like subhumans at best, monsters at worst. There are signs of change however: Garen's sister Lux Crownguard, Shyvana the half-dragon (the dragon in the cinematic), the mute musician-mage Sona, and the angel Kayle are all characters that have gained varying degrees of acceptance in Demacia.
So yeah, it's a little more nuanced than Demacia Good, Noxus Bad.
It's also worth noting that the biggest reason Demacia hates magic is because of the devestation it caused during the Rune Wars. Except because of this paranoia, it willfully ignores its own history when it comes to Magic making most if not all who impose the anti-magic law, hypocrites. Garen for example, when Swain hints in his dialogue about him hating magic but being blind to the magic he carries into every battle he goes to. Lux might be more powerful but Garen definitely has innate magical abilities that manifests differently.
Even their protector statue, Galio is ONLY powered by magic. He only comes alive when there's a boat load of magic power near him, and Lux is said to be powerful enough to actually awaken Galio by herself. Which is why she's his only friend.
Poppy also is a magical being and yet is completely accepted in Demacia. She's literally one of the inspirations for the founding of Demacia. She's also carrying a magically imbued hammer, basically Demacian Mjölnir, that was once owned by the the founder of Demacia himself. She was told it belongs to and could only be used by a Hero of Demacia, and without knowing it could be her, so she's lived for centuries looking for but not finding a suitabale candidate. Even the Jarvans weren't worthy of the hammer.
As for Noxus, this is hella tricky because of the existence of the Black Rose. Initially, Riot said they ruled Noxus openly, then disappeared and the Triumvirate came except the Black Rose was still manipulating things behind the scenes. Not sure if this got retconned but apparently, the new lore says thay Mordekaiser has had something to do with the formation of the Empire. Which is supposedly where the "strength is what matters and with it, you can take anything" national creed came from. They used to conquer stuff to show their strength and to generally just be dicks towards their closest neighbor but following their massive defeat in Ionia, they apprently stopped. Now i have no real clue as to what Jericho is doing and what for but they seem to be going back to their roots. After being corrupted by weakness from the nobles houses that started after the disappearances of Darkwill and Du Coutaeu, they regained control after Darius and Jericho took over. Except i no longer have any idea who the third seat of the Triumvirate is, because there's no way in hell it could be Katarina and it can't be Talon either. There's just too many factors and people that are similtaneously in play in Noxus that it's generally hard to know what their true alignment or agenda is at any given moment.
In short, both Demacia and Noxus are bad places, Demacia is a prejudiced and hypocritical hierarchy, and Noxus a nation of oppression against the weakest who invade and conquer even peaceful and balanced places like Ionia, is practically Evil Vs Evil
@@sthepcorms6747 Not exactly, Demacia accepts mages, but there are rules and laws, and if broken, the person will be judged, as proof of this, Demacia accept magical beings and mages from other countries in Demacia, in the demacian army itself there are magical species like Vestayas, so as long as they obey the rules and laws, mages live well. The problem was that with Sylas' revolt, things got worse and now magic and mages are really hated, they are now treated badly and one slightest mistake and they are fucked.
13:56 it's funny that you say "the strut", as it is literally Miss Fortune's passive ability in League of Legends :D

Yep, we’ll have that on the channel soon hopefully!
@@CarlieAndAnge 😊 I'm looking forward to it
@@CarlieAndAnge Just so you know, A New Dawn is not lore. It's a cool cinematic, but not canon at all.
Ruined King is very fun! and kinda difficult lmao. But an absolute lore heaven for people like me and the art is GORGEOUS 😄
The game can be difficult, but there is a "Story Mode" which allows you to skip all the combat encounters and just view the story progressing.
Yes, definitely a game that anyone can play if you just want to enjoy the story and puzzles
I really hope they include Bilgewater, Captain Miss Fortune, or just anything to do with pirates in season two of Arcane. Love me some pirates! Keep up the great videos!
I doubt Bilgewater will be revealed anytime soon. It might get teased but I think Noxus is more likely.
It's just a wish of mine especially after playing Ruined King. Riot is sitting on a cash cow with Arcane. I'm sure they will do other spin-off series. Bilgewater given an Arcane-like treatment
I believe they will have to. Bilgewater has that frog demon in it. And fighting demons and demonic possession is the only way I can see for them to save Jinx. My guess is that the mine that Undercity works in is actually a portal to an Abyssal plane. Someone in Piltover summoned/opened the portal. It explains why there is such a difference between Piltover and Undercity, where the little demons that plague the undercity shores of the river between the cities come from, and the plants that shimmer comes from. Some connection to the Void and Void creatures. Demons suppressing compassion, inflicting depression and jealousy, fermenting suspicion and corruption, in order to harvest negative emotional energy among both populations. Meanwhile the summoner/opener experiences untold success and comfort at the expense of everyone else. Anyway, just some thoughts.
@@redtornado1337 That's not how Zaun is different from Piltover at all. In fact, Zaun is under the protection of a goddess(or at least I think she is a goddess).
They should react to the the music videos of the music that was featured in one of the videos they reacted in this video.

Aaaye. I'd say all world's vids. I think there's a problem with 1 or 2 of the songs early on though. copyright or something. I think it's the first version of Warriors and 1 other.
I don’t have a lot of knowledge but I highly recommended the Game “Ruined King: A league of legends story” it is a banger and the writing is so good.
The story was good , cinematics were awesome , Ruination and Sentinel skins are beautiful but sadly , the event in game was trash....
They spent so much time on what's around that they forgot to just a create a good game mode for this event , it was really repeatitive et to be honest kinda boring !
But at least RIOT admitted it , they appologized and promised to do better in their future lore realted events and I think it's a very honest and good reaction !
I started following your channel recently, I'm Brazilian and I really enjoy the videos, keep bringing content from league of legends and other games or animes please ❤❤

If you guys want something more "Arcane related" you guys should react to the 2021 World's Opening Ceremony :)
Nooo, everything related to the World Cup should be in chronological order
@@Blink-fq7ph 2020 world Cup stays out of this
Something you just missed, after Lucian's team defeated Viego, Thresh showed himself in front Lucian to claim what he asked for the information he provided to defeat Viego. Senna didn't know about it but still thresh claimed a soul and now Thresh is reincarnated as a man you watched some cinematic before. This story only brings the real villian.
You can always just read the comics!! They're on Riot's lore page, Sentinels of Light, the name is the same.
Also, Viego wasn't good before, he was useless, he didn't want to be king but he was the only option and so they crowned him for lack of another option. Then he got Isolde and ignored everything but her, then lost her and destroyed everything in a fit of rage. He was basically an indolent adolescent that didn't give a shit about anyone, I still can't explain to myself how Isolde ended up loving him.
yo its so much fun watching ppl new to the riot world, really appreciate it ! keep up the good work ! much luv
8:40 song it's called Rise is one of the best songs, Worlds championship video.
Oh great! We’ll get to the worlds championship videos soon 😊
Ruined King IMO is alot of fun and completely different from LoL, It also has difficulty settings and you can set it to very easy if you just want to enjoy the story. Highly recommend it
39:17 it's because this person is originally a League of Legends Champion : Shyvana.
This whole story "Sentinels of light" story includes special skins for existent characters. Shodow Iles skins and Sentinels skins.
Shyvana is among those who got a Shadow Iles skin, among with Draven, Karma, Pantheon and Miss Fortune.
All these guys are originally good guys, that got possessed by Viego
And also they're already have a mini novel and three comics partnered by marvel the story is about ashe, lux and zed.. I think you can find them at league of legends website
Its so nice watching you two discuss league lore. You're pretty spot on :) another lore youtuber you might wanna check out is Tenebrix.
Definitely subbing to watch more of your stuff!
Ruined King is most definitely a worthwile game to play! I highly, highly, highly recommend it. Another thing to add. I, as well as many other lore nerds, are so frustrated with Riot. The Ruination event was a big event, and they dropped the ball so hard. Hence, Ruined King is kind of the "canon" ending in my eyes. So much better written and executed. Good video, as always! Funny as well!
9:12 Serah Fortune, Miss Fortune, Captain Fortune after the Bilgewater event a few years back when she killed Gangplank and assumed captain of the city.
Yes Ruined King is fun, if you like turn based RPGs like Final Fantasy, they did some interesting mechanics that make it unique and interesting. Bit confusing at first, but really interesting.
There are some comic books done as well, and Akshan has a trailer out there as well it is just an introduction, but it is out there.
you said you loved the music when you were reacting to the ruined king launch trailer, actually it's a remix, i don't know if u watched it already but the song is called "rise" and the cinematic, as usual, is incredible (y)
"She made a doll that looks like Jinx" had me dying! Dude you are obsessed and I love that xD
Something that I really miss here is the opening cinematic to Ruined King, it actually answers a couple questions.
I know I'm late and this was probably mentioned, but there's been an item in the game called blade of the ruined king like pretty much since the start of the game, and a lot of items change names or just get completely removed, this is one that has stayed mostly intact so when we saw viego was the ruined king that was like a lot of hype we didn't even know was building up lmao. Just for some context
wow you did a really great work with this video, even made me kind of not hate too much the ruination event hahaha that event is the worst thing made by riot sadly. But awesome work reacting to everything, I loved it! thank you very much!
Fun fact: Ruination got a lot of bad reviews from players for not being lore accurate. If not being accurate is that good, imagine how it would be when it is
Please watch Ruined king game cut scenes and cinematics. Its literally the best League of legends lore out there
If you didn’t notice the scene where Darius gets turned by veigo is the area where mel from arcane painted on her wall. The giant building with the twin towers is called the immortal bastion it’s a main landmark of noxius.
Actually Viego is on Pentakill band, he appears in the interactive live concert of pentakill's new album you haven't watched yet, even he sings in a couple of badass songs.
Nearly 1 hour long, now THIS is what I love to see from you guys 💙 and ofc all of your reactions haha
Idk if anyone's said it but the reason why there aren't cinematics for a lot of the recap stuff is because the even had a little interactive story type game for the Ruination event. So that's why there's no cinematics or in depth videos for those portions in the recaps.
Makes sense! Thanks for clarifying 😊
Like before watching, this here is the trust I put on you guys jaja
After watching: I watched another reaction of this "series", and I felt like something was left behind, same with this one, but now I know it was the Akshan trailer the one that was missing.
It's called Akshan, the rogue sentinel, it has more like in-game stuff than others, but still would be of help to know who he is.
You guys are my favorite reactors. Keep up the good work!
Ruined King is a really good game! You don't have to even know anything about League to play it. Probably my favorite game I played last year, would highly recommend.
it isnt a mytery how Isolde (Viegos Wife) died. the story went as following:
Viego was not a good King towards his people, he was young and had no interesst in ruling, his only interesst was his Love, Isolde.
One day an assasin went to kill Viego, by poisining him, but instead poisend Isolde. no medecin could cure this poisen. So Viego sents on of his closest Offizers, Kalista , to serach for a cure. She found a lake guarded by monks, lake filled with live and very strong magic, basically the core of life and magic of this country. When she (kalista) went back to report, Isolde was already dead, desperat and broken Viego still toke Isoldes Body to the lake, and while the guarding monks tried to stop him, they were killed by Hecarim and since kalista tried to convince viego to stop, she got stabbed by hecarim (Hecarim is that shadow horse u see, and kalista has an own cinemaic). Betrayed, kalista swore vengence.
Viego put Isolds body in the lade and for a brief moment she came to life, but was deforming, out of shock and horroe Isolde took the sword from viego and stabbed him right through his heart (literally a broken heart) Viego fell and the lake got corrupted by isolds and Viegos dead bodies and the powerful magic of that lake got corrupt. In that very moment the magic spread across the bless iles corrupting every living thing and the blessed isles became the shadow isles.
In that very Moment Viego came back to life as the ruind King and Isold died instantly and her Soul broke and Spread to some objects of her former life, and into Senna and Gwen(the puppet). Senna has basically 2 souls, her own and a part of Isolds, Gwen has a part of isoldes souls which made that puppet come to life and the rest of the sould remain on objects.
Btw. That triangly shapped hole in viegos chest is where he got stabbed through and the mist is basically comming out of it. the MIst, as viego discibs it, is the broken heart and sadness of Isolds death.
i recommend u to read the story urself or watch some expaination by necrit.
it is a nice story and u might see many similarities between lucian getting back his wife from dead and viego trying to od the same thing. unfortunaly Riot did disappoint the lore fans with this, since they missed many oppertunities.
hope that helped understnad the story more
Real name is Sara Fortune AKA Miss Fortune later in lore known as Captain Fortune. Robot it is Blitzcrank Viktor's creation by the way.
Ahhhh okay great! Thanks for clarifying 😊

You guys just made my day! So happy to see you upload more League stuff! Always puts me into a hype mood :D
YESSSS, I've been waiting for thiss.
i low key feel bad, he was just a man too deeply in love
your reactions are the best guys. I watched a lot of reactions but your are best so far cuz u
keep digging into the lore which really gives me a smile. Hope u have a good day and cant wait another videos!
I highly recommend Ruined King Intro cinematic.You will learn more about Viego and His Queen.And also you will see Viego's Absolute Love to his Queen.
The name of Veigo's wife is Isolde, she was a seamstress and her soul was split into pieces which were are scattered around the region. Veigo is collecting them in order to bring her back. One piece is in Senna, another in Gwen.
Sarah Fortune, commonly referred to as Miss Fortune is the enemy of Captain Gangplank
I found your channel a few days ago and I love your reactions and how you connect with the story, I believe a lot of lore on the ruination and viego is given in the Ruined King game.
I'm not sure if you guys have watched the star gaurdian ones yet but i'd loveee to see you guys watch them, they're a skinline based in a seperate timeline simular to kda. It has ahri, jinx, lulu, miss fortune, lux and many other characters you will recognise and the music in the most recent one is so beautiful!
Yep, we’ll be watching them soon 😊
The story actually tries to show 2 sides of ''love''.
Viego+İsolde vs Luci+Senna.
Both Viego and Luci lost their waifus. And they both want them back for any cost.
Did you seriously just un ironically substitute waifus for wives
Okay so I don't 6hink there is a cinematic for the prequel of how the Blessed Isles turned into the Shadow Isles but I shall try to explain it the best I could. So Viego and Isolde fell in love but here's what the cinematics don't tell you; they didn't tell you that Viego became a King at a very young age so his decisions were more impulsive and since he married Isolde at that young age, he focused his world on his Queen and not his Kingdom. Due to this fact, many wanted Viego dead so one lunch ago, Viego was eating with Isolde and with other ' guests ' but one of the guests was actually an assassin who, instead of killing Viego, kills Isolde. Viego becomes so depressed that he had his Queen in a room where he stays with her grave alone while she gets Kalista, his trusted soldier of sorts but there is a side drama here.
See Kalista was entrusted to look for a cure around the world for Isolde, this task was given by Viego but Kalista was framed by Hecarim. Hecarim was the centaur you keep seeing and he was the head of Viego's army who is also the reason for Kalista's death but lemme get back to Kalista. So Kalista finds the cure in the Blessed Isles. The blessed Isles had waters that could bring the dead back but also had dangerous magical artifacts. The blade of the kings is an artifact(as I remember?? Not really sure). So Kalista told Viego despite the Blessed Isles people to only trust their knowledge and magic to Kalista and Viego went. Viego carried Isolde to the waters but what awaited him was an Isolde in panic so much so that she stabbed Viego, killing him and starting the Ruination. The Ruinatioon corrupted everyone except those who either have the waters of the Blessed Isles or Isolde's soul fragments. The Blessed Isles turned into the Shadow isles once Isolde stabbed Viego with the blade of the kings that now is known as the blade of the ruined king. So even Viego got corrupted by the Ruination, he does not remember that Isolde was the one who killed him. He ONLY remembers that he loves his wife and he needs his wife back and he will do everything in his power to bring her back, not expecting the outcome that Isolde didn't want to be brought back.
i love this rabbit hole you guys have fallen into LOL can’t wait for more
Plenty more to come!
So The Shadow Isles and the Ruined King that ruled them is something that has existed in League lore for a VERY long time, but as a mysterious and ominous figure. The end of the announcement trailer for the Ruined King game when Viego is revealed is the first time ANYONE had seen what the Ruined King himself actually looks like. Viego joined the actual League of Legends game soon after.
Pyke is definitely one of my favorite characters in the league universe
Let me try to add some other details. There are some side histories on LOL website that add info to the Ruination event. You already saw from the Aladdin vibes guy Akshan telling Isolde died, well she was actually killed by a kingdom enemy. Then, Viego was in such a pain that he became the ruined king after many crazy magic stuff trying to have back his wife. MANY MANY MAAAANY years later, a young Senna was playing near the beach and the dark mist reach and touch her. (Long story short) Isolde “feels” Senna and put part of her soul inside her. Senna knows that something (or a voice) guide her but it was until she grow up and became part of the sentinels, she realized what it was Isolde, also because she was tortured by Tresh inside the lamp. Senna and Lucian is one of the “goal” couples of LOL according to the fans. Because of Senna, Lucian became a sentinel. Senna helped Lucian when he was in pain, and he felt in love, then a beautiful love story. Now, Senna is a support and Lucian a ADC in game. Basically this two roles go together in the same line. The cinematics show Senna’s abilities as support when she shots Lucian to shield him (in game the shot heals). Also in game, Senna absorbs the dark souls, so she become stronger. Now , Gwen… she is an actual living doll. When Isolde dived her soul, she putted one on the doll and became alive. Not sure if outside the game she is a real human being, but in game when she dies, she became a doll again. Isolde made her as part of his hobbies. The giant magic scissors are Isolde’s scissors.
Now, the idols universe. Senna is part of True Damage, and when she sings on the MV you can see a giant version of her gun. Viego is part of Pentakill but you didn’t saw him on the other video because he joined them until the last album (August 2021). He is a guitarist. Olaf (the guy with two axes) is also part of the group.
Side note: sorry if I cannot explain myself, English is not my first language. 😅
if you love league lore, just enjoy it from the cinematic, or game other than league itself, never enter the game, once you in, you'll never quit
🤣
i heard this was a messy event-
but everyone forgot all of it after the Arcane event released.
Part 2
Thresh was a psychopath before he was turned in what he calls his "Best Self". He took Sienna's soul during an altercation with her & her husband Lucian were fighting back the black mist as Sentinels.
He took her not only to torture her but to torture Lucian as he knew that would be worse then killing him.
But Sienna with the help of the fragment of the Queen's soul, learned to harness the power that was attracting the Black Mist to her & the Queen.
Forging a new weapon & breaking out when Lucian injected some light into the lantern.
Unfortunately Veigo tracks down the fragment & wants to take it from her.
The Azakana which you were pronouncing right, was a different Azakana.
Taliyah is the name of the Eartbender you see in the Climb trailer. She is Shuriman & will have a big roll in The Call trailer when you watch it.
Blitzcrank is the robot's name.
Miss Fortune in the Climb trailer is being tested by Illoai & Nagakabouros whose tentacles you see.
In the Ruination trailer while Veigo is forcefully trying to rip the shard of his Queen from Sienna's chest. You see the Black Mist erupt from spiritual weak points all across Runeterra.
In Noxus Darrius & Samira (Bounty Hunter & 😍). Everyone is good from their view points by the way.
In Demacia Poppy (Yordle) & Vain (the evil b*tch with the crossbow, I'll explain later.)
In Ionia Karma actually overpowered the corruption due to her basically being the vessel for the Great Spirit of Ionia.
The symbol at the end is that of Sentinels.
In-game the Ruination event fell apart. Do to the Pandemic & Riots rush to keep the deadlines without proofreading their work it was just bad.
The new Sentinels of light we got didn't make sense & let explain.
In-game we got Sentinel skins for:
Olaf
Vain
Pyke
Graves
Diana
Riven
Irellia
And a new character & Sentinel in Akshan but most of them lore wise didn't make sense & the lore from the event didn't fix it. You literally had like 3 different lore points between the Ruination game, League, and the event's interactive storyboard.
So I'll leave it there but I'll do one last comment on the secondary characters later. But seriously f#ck Vain or Vayne however you spell her name.
Necrit or Tenebrix will tell you why. Necrit is nicer about it then Tenebrix, but she's more real about it. I recommend a watch through.
Loving the reaction even if the whole Ruination event was bad... (Still mad that Pantheon got possessed by Viego when he has amazing willpower. Riot trying to sell skins smh.)
Really appreciate your content, happy to have stumbled upon your channel during the league reactions. Definitely got a new sub here. Riot is insane, so many details, connections, stories & crazy production (and somehow they still keep it true to the actual video game!!!). Too much talent in this company.
Yes agreed! And thanks so much 😊
8:42
Oh, it's remix of RISE (Worlds' song 2018)
9:32
I'll say it like a meme:
"My name is Sarah Fortune, but everybody calls me Miss Fortune" :)
15:38
It's creatures called Vastaya.
"The Vastaya are chimeric creatures of Runeterra whose lineage contains both human blood and the spiritual magic of a pre-human race."
Conditionally we can say that this is a mix of human and animal.
There are only 7 of them in the league of legends universe.
The most interesting of them is Ahri [foxlike], Xayah and Rakan [birdlikes] (the last two are lovers; there is an interesting cinematic about them, which is called "Wild magic")
18:16
It's Taliyah, The Stoneweaver, nomadic mage from Shurima
Also u can see her in "The Call" video, which was written about in the pinned comment :)
18:40
It's Blitzcrank, The great steam golem.
There is a teaser to this robot in the Arcane, in the scene of the discussion of the work on hextech between Viktor and Jayce (in the already destroyed house of the second).
Maybe he will appear in the second season, who knows ;)
31:53
Her name is Samira.
Mercenary. Fleeing the war-ravaged Shurima as a child, she found her calling in Noxus.
36:24
It's Shyvana, The half-dragon.
"Shyvana is a creature with pure elemental magic blazing in her heart. Though she most often appears humanoid, she can take her true form when necessary-that of a fearsome dragon, incinerating her foes with fiery breath. Having saved the life of the crown prince Jarvan IV [which is present in the game], Shyvana now serves uneasily in his royal guard, struggling to find acceptance among the suspicious people of Demacia."
45:10
His name is Graves.
45:39
Actually one of the seven Vastaya featured in the game.
His name is Rengar [lionlike], The Pridestarker.
"Rengar is a ferocious vastayan trophy hunter who lives for the thrill of tracking down and killing dangerous creatures. Stalks his prey neither for food nor glory, but for the sheer beauty of the pursuit."
Thanks!
I’m half a year late but if u guys haven’t seen by now, the LoL champion “Kalista”’s lore perfectly explains the backstory to the ruination and how Isolde died. They just came out with a book about her story called “Ruination”. They have an animated trailer for the book as well that perfectly explains what caused the ruination so you can watch that without having to read anything!
I absolutely loved this video, thank you for reacting to the full story!!!
Short character naming :
Guy with 2 pistols : Lucian, Sentinel of Light, went on a mission to rescue his wife Senna.
Lady with huge canon : Senna, Sentinel of Light, got sucked into Thresh's lantern and was trapped in there until she was saved by Lucian, they're now on a mission to recruit more sentinels and stop Viego.
Samurai : Yasuo, exiled after being framed for the death of his master
Fox Lady : Ahri, doesn't really have a plot IIRC, she just wants to seduce people and take their soul, although she feels guilty about it. I think she
wants to find a way stay alive without having to do that?
Guy with the knife and mask : Pyke, former pirate, was betrayed by his crew/didn't get help from them and drowned, got revived by an evil god and is now taking revenge on everyone that's on his list. Although he's just insane at this point and thinks everyone is on that list, and if they aren't he'll make up a reason for them to be on there.
Guy with the shotgun : Graves, bilgewater criminal, partner in crime of Twisted Fate, nothing more to it.
Pirate Lady : Sarah Fortune, pirate captain, her guns were made by her parents for a young sailor(at the time, now he's the most feared pirate captain) named Gangplank, who used said guns to kill Sarahs parents.
Lady that carries a skull(the muscular one in the ruined king announcement trailer) : Illaoi, high priestess of a great sea serpent god named Nagakabouros, she's the one that saved Gangplank from death by putting him through a trial if he's worthy enough to continue living.
Lady with Crossbow : Vayne, parents got killed by monsters, she's now obsessed with killing monsters.
Lady that transforms into a Dragon : Shyvana, crossbreed of dragon and human, trusted by the King of Demacia after they fought side-by-side. But since she's technically not fully human, Vayne hates her with all her heart and the only reason she doesn't kill her is because Shyvana is very close to the king.
Little furball(Yordle) with a hammer : Poppy, yordle with a big hammer that she inherrited from her master, set out to find the next hero that is worthy to wield said hammer, not knowing it's herself.
Lady that fights the mist alone on the circle platform : Karma, spiritual leader of Ionia, incarnation of the will of Ionia.
Guy with big axe : Darius, noxian general.
Lady with sword and gun : Samira, former slave, but due to noxus's mentality of "The strong will rise, the weak will die", she managed to climb out of slavedom and is now a mercenary for hire.
Guy with the pistol / grappling hook : Akshan, sentinel of light, his gun is a relic called the Absolver. It revives people if the gun kills the dead peoples killer. And since Isolde is technically the reason why Senna died (She died due to Isolde's soul leaving her body), Akshan revived
Senna by destroying Isolde.
Guy with the spear at the end : Pantheon, demi-god of mount targon, will NOT use his powers if fighting against someone that he deems unworthy. (The reason why he's the bad guy here : Viego/The Black Mist has the ability to mind-control people and serve Viego. Pantheon and Shyvana fell victim to that. (And others that weren't shown to be corrupted in the cinematic like, Draven, Karma and Miss Fortune, there were also some Sentinels that weren't shown in the cinematic : Irelia, Diana, Riven and Rengar)
Lady with giant scissors : Gwen, a doll made by Isolde, came to life after absorbing part of her soul and helps the Sentinels stop Viego, since she's basically a fragment of Isolde's personality and as we saw Isolde doesn't want Viego to do what he's doing.
Skeleton with chainscythe&lantern : Thresh, warden of souls on the shadow isles, plotting ,and through the victory of the sentinels succeeding, in overthrowing Viego and be free to do whatever he wants.
Guy that tries to kill literally everything to bring back his queen : Viego, former prince of Camavor (The place they entered through the portal in the last cinematic), lost his love Isolde, revived her on the blessed isles, succeeded, things took a 180° turn real quick as Isolde refused to let that happen, struck Viego with his own sword (Hence the hole in his chest) and therefor just half-finishing the ritual, so Isolde, instead of getting revived, got split into many pieces. One is inside Senna, one is inside Gwen(a doll Isolde made, as she was a seamstress, came to life after absorbing a part of Isoldes soul) and the rest is in different objects around the world.
There's entire books worth of story about each of those characters, but that's the general gist of things on how they came to be where they're at now.
I love how in the game Lucian can easily dodge Thresh' hooks just like in the cinematic. Senna isn't bad when she's freed. Her gun protects allies (shields and heals them in game) and only affects enemies.
Imo, the best way to truly understand Viego, is watching the intro to the Ruined King game. Don'r wanna spoile it, but his face as he does what he does, and as Isolde does what she does, gives me chills every single time.
Gwen was indeed Isolde's doll that came to life with the help of a part of Isolde's soul, and Viego seeks those parts to resurrect Isolde once again
처음에는 한국영상 때문에 찾아보고 나중에는 좋은 드라마 영화 소개해주셔서 감사합니다..
Hey guys, if you want visual explanation of exacly how the ruination originated, check the "Ruined King (game) Opening Cinematic ". In the 3 min video, you will see why the black mist comes from Viego's hole in his chest and how it came to be.
42:10 people that were lore-experts were simlarly confused about many things LOL
It really amazes me how you can keep up with the names. I mean, it's easy for league players, but for people coming from arcane, it's really impressive! Love your reactions btw
Thanks so much! We sometimes struggle with the names but we’re getting there 😅
You probably know by know that thresh traps the souls of his victims in his lantern. Now after I don't know how long Lucian freed Senna from the lamp. yes, like you said Lucian and Senna were husband and wife. There has always been that bit of lore in the game putting in that rivalry between Lucian and Thresh and now they actually said "lets make Lucian's wife a new character in the game and bring her out of that lamp"
If you're into turn based RPG and the league lore, then the ruined king game is definitly greaty! You get a ton of cool interactions between characters, it's lovely
Love you reactions I hope you have wonderful day
You too!! ❤️
And yes you can play senna and Lucian together in league of legends. Lucian ADC and Senna support.
OMG!! 55mins, I am going to love it! Watching it right now
Ahh, The Ruination. I'm so torn on this event, and there is a LOT to say about it. On the one hand, I love that they went ambitious with such a large scale event, focused around the release of the single player Ruined King game (which by the way is fantastic, but sadly got delayed which sort of threw off parts of the narrative for the rest of the event). On the other hand, the event itself took such a massive dump on Runeterra lore, which wouldn't be apparent to those watching these for the first time. A lot of this story was told in the LoL client as a visual novel (these are the bits you see as catchups with Akshan), where you teleported all over the world to recruit new sentinels. A neat idea, but their choices for which champions were included was baffling, many of them were just there to give the odd one liner, or would act completely out of character. Meanwhile there are champions such as Yorick (You will have seen his Pentakill skin in Mortal Reminder), who's lore is entirely based around the ruined king, who were either on screen for 30 seconds, or omitted entirely. As others have mentioned, Necrit's Ruining the Ruination video probably explains the problems best.
Still though, they've said that despite the poor reception, they're not done trying massive events like this so I'm hopeful!
"But Ahri(was 👌)... She's technically an Animal, that might be wrong of me. I might lay off."
I'm fucking crying! 😂😂
I get u bro, Ahri was Waifu especially when I read that Doujin of Ahri and WW... 👀
😍
Btw just as a reminder, ''Thresh Unbound: A Night at the Inn'' video happen after that ruination event.
You watched that video at your TALES OF RUNETERRA video. That's where Thresh became like human form. He plan something but we don't know yet.
He might be main villain after what happen Viego.
I really liked your LOL reaction videos. I watched them all and you guys my favorite lol reaction channel.
And i found this channeI because i'm in love with Runeterra universe. It's my favorite fantastic universe.
There are too much good story and characters. U can check runeterra website for all (comics, storys etc.) or you can check Necrit's channel at least.
Thanks so much! ❤️
Daddy Necrit is the go-to man. I watch him 2yrs now. Some people called him daddy coz it was like "Daddy, tell me a story." League of legends lore is so broad yet beautiful. Like Viego's love.. it's so pure then became poisonous to him and made him corrupted.
Letsgo! Do The Cold already though!
🤣
If you want to fully understand league universe(s) watch this 12min video. Explains a lot, and where to get more info. th-cam.com/video/RnVCYgwdcDw/w-d-xo.html
It’s important to say that “THE RUINED KING” is a stand-alone game made by riot, with the league characters and lore, and “THE RUINATION” is the event in the game “league of legends”.
The name of the robot is Blitzcrank. And yes check Necrit, there are a lot of videos to see but you will understand everything. Good video btw
yone and Viego are my two main, and they are undoubtingly sickest champs they have made, I mean yes Viego is a bad guy, but he became bad after these people are becoming the barrier between him and his queen,
and that blue thing was her Queen, I mean if she would've handed him his queen, none of this would've happened and she knew she was dead and it was supposed to be that way and she explained it to him all about that, in the end, anyway. This is why I chose viego to play, he was loyal (a little over the top) for his love, not everyone is like that
They’re pretty cool ngl
Noxian People aren't "bad people". They just live with the right of the strongest. They 've a lot of honor for people, who are not weak and hide themselves behind other people. :)
getting home from nightshift to a reaction video is so blessed ty always guys.
The robot's name is Grabshock
Love watching you guys react to league of legends, its always an insta click. Sometimes roll a joint with it to haha
😅❤️
i love the girl version of "rise," but i do prefer the mako version. his voice is soooo great. (there's a music vid for it).. i love your LoL cinematics reactions, btw. i'm not a gamer but i'm a fan of riot's art & music choices.
