Just had an idea. I seriously doubt that Riot is getting better about VO, hate to doubt them, but besides Ashe and Lee Sin (which they did by "necessity") they aren't known for bringing in voice actors to update unless they need them for something else, usually a Legendary skin. Now we know that they probably only got Lucian updated because he's also a champion in Legends of Runeterra. Does this mean that: Garen, Elise, Zed, Shen, Karma, Braum, Darius, Draven, Katarina, Jinx (Also in Arcane!), Tryndamere and Fiora could be getting voice updates maybe?

I think that is the result of a little discrepancy in the lore. The Void have been re-characterized as a long dormant threat slowly leaking back into the world. Nobody should really know what they are at this point BESIDES the Frostguard and people living near Icathia, but when Tarics' unit is killed by Voidborn as he's taking a walk IN THE MIDDLE OF VALORAN WHERE VOID-SPAWN SHOULDN'T BE, he not only knows what they are, but also upon Ascension makes destroying the Void his main mission. Like huh?

They don't seem to have a named entity as a god, but a lot of them do revere "The Great Spirit of Ionia" whether this is an individual entity or a catch-all title for all of the spirits in Ionia, or a handy way to refer to their philosophy isn't clear. It's a living part of their land and they do not outright "worship" it, but they do strive to maintain balance with the Great Spirit of Ionia and the land itself rewards them with food and shelter.

Yes you're right Shen and Zed are in their late 30ies / early 40ies

I don't mean why in the STORY. I mean why from a writing standpoint was that decision even made.

I feel like this comic is gonna jump around a lot timewise. If its' gonna bring us to current day. Hopefully a bit past this point in the story https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_GB/story/jhin-color-story/ as this is ALSO written by Odin and now he can pick up this narrative thread with Zed and Shen working together to find Jhin in the present day. 1. Zeds Origin, training with Kinkou and his initial rivalry with Shen at the start of his life 2. The YEARS long Hunt for Jhin, with lots of character development from Kusho, Shen and Zed as Khin is the trial that makes them who they are today 3. Encountering Shadow Magic, his banishment, raising his shadow disciples and taking the Kinkou monastery back. Again this took Zed YEARS 4. The Noxian War, Finding and training Kayn, Clashing with Vastaya, Kinkou and pretty much any other Ionian who gets in his way. The War was 15 years long! 5. The Present Day and a Zed and Shen potential team up to catch Jhin Compared to Ashe and Lux which were much more contained stories thats' a LOT of ground to cover

I always thought that The Ruined King wasn't going to be important to the lore and had zero chance to be a champion, his purpose is to serve as a tragic figure that started the Ruination and as Lucians' dark mirror because they both go to some extremes to save the ones they love. The Ruined King doesn't really need to be more than that. Now that Senna name dropped him at the end of the bio and confirmed he is still relevant its' clear that he is gonna have some future in the lore at the least and maybe might even be part of the game at some point. I don't hate that Senna is back and has her physical form its' just the execution that was cheesy. This whole "infected with life" thing is cheesy, it has no basis in any established rules that we have been presented with so far and feels so very fanfic. Like the writers are so desperate to bring back Senna in this idealized form that they'll do it at any cost to the logic of the Universe, which was starting to settle for once now that we know how all the pieces of the Universe fit together. Asspulls like this late in the game is going to get harder and harder to do believably than they were in 2017 when we didn't even know what the Void, Darkin Celestials and etc really were and Riot were just teasing stuff. They could still have Senna in the game, it's just that there were better ways to do it. What if she was just an amalgamation of all the souls in the lantern, but Sennas' body formed the vessel for all these souls because she was the only one who stayed strong in the lantern and was known as the "Shepard of lost Souls" who stayed strong when everyone else wanted to break? To Lucian this is still his wife, but in reality it's more than one entity. This explanation still preserves the big conflict between Senna and Lucian that's obviously taking form here. Lucian is gonna need to accept that the Senna he got back is not the same one that went into the lantern and while their future hunt for the Ruined King represents a physical journey, at the same time the reassessment of their relationship will form an emotional one. You can still have that with a much less cheesy "chosen one" trope that Senna has permeating through her bio. While a bit too convenient even having Yorick bring back/purify Senna somehow with the Waters of Life is less of an asspull because at least we've known about the waters' properties for some time now. There's just a lot wrong with it. Why does the Black Mist have to have such a hard on for her? How the hell can you have a soul of powerful "life"... life seems to me like more of a binary quality to have lol. Alive things usually having pulses and undead things not... How do you get MORE ALIVE? Good diet and exercise? Why does this all feel like a big metaphor for the Ruined King (The Black Mist) chasing after his queen (the soul Senna found). Maybe the color story will provide context, but I'm skeptical.

If she herself was a Mageseeker then I would 100% believe that Riot would intend to put her in the game. It would give her a unique niche and would allow Riot to try their hand at making another anti-mage character something they failed to do with Kassadin so long ago. Problem is she isn't. She's a woman with armor, I imagine she has a sword and she doesn't have any unique gameplay opportunities surrounding her. In 2019 League every champ released has to have a unique visual or gameplay hook because so few come out nowadays... A Mageseeker devoted entirely to hunting down Sylas by any means necessary and truly hates mages is something missing from the roster. Garen is softening his prejudice of mages. They were quick to mention that the leader of such an organization is Tiannas' husband in the comics... if you know what I'm suggesting.

Top 10 champs: {{champion:50}} {{champion:101}} {{champion:432}} {{champion:41}} {{champion:161}} {{champion:78}} {{champion:43}} {{champion:240}} {{champion:89}} {{champion:163}} Unfortunately the only champs that seem to click with me are ones that Riot never makes skins for. Aurelion Sol was higher before Balance butchered him and even he doesn't get skins. Did jump on that Leona Legendary when it came out last year. That skin is amazing.

And even cooler idea is to click and flick the skin wheel to get that satisfying spinning motion. Would have added functionality of letting players pick a random skin if you don't know what you want.

What? No... Some of you shippers must be a bit tone-deaf to come up with this stuff, I swear.

All of those champs are tier 2 VGU worthy. So maybe by the 20th anniversary of League?

It can go three ways: 1. Literally 3 or 4 diverse voices (Gender, age and pitch) speaking at the exact same intonation at the exact same time. Eh. Not the best. 2. What you described... Several different voices SHIFTING into one another not in sync. Much better. 3. Several different voices speaking in different TONES. Calm, Violent, Distraught, Sinister, Deranged. Kinda like Sigma in his Overwatch trailer, if he had more than one voice. P.S. I just realized that some birds can mimic speech. Prolly not crows I know but its' a fantasy game... What if Fiddlestick as a demon is just recording the last words of his victims and then playing them back like a freaky Polly-wants-a-cracker stereotype. That would be AMAZING. Not having his demon speak like Evelynn, Nocturne and Tahm Kench would make him seem so much more... inhuman. Ofc whether Fiddlesticks is still a demon at all is up for debate because him and Nocturne are really infringing on each others theme right now. Like two other champs I know...{{champion:555}} {{champion:111}}

Someone pls upload ALL the card art from this game. This one and MANY MANY MORE (100+?) are not available for download and it's making me crazy... (Also that sick region art from the card building deck select screen with Lux sitting in her hometown and the Noxian army in formation omfg I NEED IT)

Based on the fact that sixmorevodka concepted Ahri to put her in the game I guess they intended to put her in. https://cdn1.sixmorevodka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/08000240/AHRI.jpg?webp=0 She's definetly up there in terms of marketing the game as well, but I think Kat, Ahri and Yasuo are tier 2 marketing champs. They aren't AS ubiquitous in marketing as the other six.

No

I think that counts too. Well it is a music group so the champs actually have to be able to rap...and fit the subculture, which I'm not sure mummy boy and hentai extra make the cut.

My point is that we are the minority. The game appeals to a massive market and every thing is filtered through that. Making Kai'Sa, Sylas, Neeko and Senna look like hardened survivors will not please as many people through caving to small nitpicks. 90% of League players won't even read Sennas' bio. People like looking at other attractive people. That's just the reality, look at Instagram. There's a marketing impetus to make every character more appealing and there are layers to the design process that strip away outliers and pull a concept closer to the center. Look at the first concepts for Kai'Sa, Qiyana and Neeko to see what I mean. Novel ideas get stripped away because they represent more risk than they're worth. I just don't find it interesting to talk about it because we all know WHY Riot does it, but still feel the need to bring it up. It's tired and it'll never change, so whats the point. Senna having makeup does so much, just not for us.

I think all the clues have been given to us this whole time. The only real mystery is what was this traumatic event that tore Vi and Jinx apart, causing Jinxs' psychotic break and Vis' long term memory loss. Zaun is very much inspired by FF7s' Midgar and in that story something very similar happens to Cloud, where a traumatic event (Zacks' Death) + the work of an evil scientist and their chemical experiments (Hojo and the Mako poisoning) lead to Cloud having a mental breakdown (like Jinx and Vi) that makes him block out the trauma of the past and construct a new identity (Zacks' identity) I'm not saying Riot is gonna rip off FF7, but the pieces are all in place to do so...

I don't think Teemo belongs in Zaun or will be associated in Zaun in any other way besides his poison (Which he used to get from Kumungu anyways in the old lore so it's nbd) This is just a case of Riot trying to get a more marketable champion into the game. Teemo is one of the faces of League of Legends: One of the big six The Big Six ({{champion:103}} {{champion:81}} {{champion:13}} {{champion:99}} {{champion:17}} {{champion:222}} ) If you look at League of Legends marketing materials ALMOST NONE do not feature at least one champion from this list. Rather than having Jinx and some other champion that new players to the game won't recognize New Player: who the f are these guys??? ({{champion:6}} {{champion:154}} {{champion:27}} {{champion:29}} ) tl;dr : They shoehorned Teemo in Zaun for mass market appeal on the games' launch.

Same reason Sylas has a P90X body from a diet of rats while shackled up for several years. It's a mainstream game, it appeals to a mainstream audience. That will NEVER change.

If the former, he probably likes her, if the latter, he probably hates her for rejecting it.

I think an ability on the kit, like the ult will reveal what this means exactly.

Swain and Fiddlesticks have always been connected in my eyes just because of their use of foreboding birds. T?hen Swain straight up became a demon hybrid man, which is what Fiddle was as well. Can't not have something between them

Ekko, Yasuo, Akali, Senna and....? Honestly the inclusion of Yasuo and Akali makes this SO disapointing. ESPECIALLY throwing Akali in another band.... lemme guess she leaves KD/A or something.

Also on the sixmorevodka site all the card art pieces are not available. From what I can tell there are 60 or so missing from the site. Most of them are spell effects that aren't full 1920x1080 art pieces, but there are some units missing like Rimefang Wolf, Avarosan Trapper or Stalking Wolf. Basically all the not as interesting ones, but still makes me sad...

Journal Log 214: It's been a whole patch cycle, the new High Noon skins have made their debut on the League Display Client. I tell myself to be strong, that help is on the way, that our benevolent benefactors at Riot would never abandon us. In truth, behind the veil, my spirit is breaking and I am full of doubt. I fear I do not have the strength for the trials ahead. Teemo, give me strength.

Lunari champs name is Aphelios. Voyboy leaked it by accident. Aphelios is a cosmological term for when an object is the furthest point in its' orbit from the sun or something like that which thematically fits a devoted Lunari.

No armor, no savagery, no broken swords on his back. I would be a sucker for the eldritch voli too, not minding the more safe approach, but boi, this one is about the safest, most uninteresting version they've come up with to date. Don't forget the cool lightning scar concept... yeah. This one has not too much going for it. I would be happy with a more traditional Volibear over the demonic lore approach, but he's got to have some kind of battle-damage on him to sell the vision. Even if as a spirit-god he could just assume a perfect form why would he. He's supposed to embody a return to nature, a bestial primal way of life where the weak aren't catered to. He should have weapons impaled in him, self-inflicted lightning scars, some kind of twisted anatomy so he can show everyone "look at all the shit I survived and those trials have made me strong" That's the core of his value system right? So he should wear it proudly.

Pretty much how a lot of champions lose their spark nowadays. The initial concept is new, fresh, exciting and then Riot designs by committee until something more bland gets shat out by pandering to mainstream culture and market focus tests. All the edges cut off to avoid risks, the concept loses all of its' teeth and aims to make everyone content at the cost of failing to wow anybody {{champion:145}} {{champion:518}} {{champion:145}} {{champion:518}} {{champion:145}} {{champion:518}} {{champion:145}} {{champion:518}}....{{champion:246}}

They don't feel Shuriman at all in design. They do a little and I think that's the majority are clearly from Northern Shurima look at all the Noxian influence in their clothes the dark armor and weapons with only a little bit of their traditional garb. The woman and the boy to her right are more traditional Shurimans. I think they are a rebellion group fighting Noxus. The Burning Fist. That and you can see where the obvious name comes from as they all have burns running up their hands and forearms. Burns that look to be self-inflicted, like Assassins' Creed members chopping off their ring fingers before Ezio. The few tattoos the men have are remnicent of overly sized henna tattoos which are Arabic, but mostly used by women in the real world. I think they're the most interesting for sure, but they clearly belong to a specific group yet to be announced by Riot which is why they look so unique.

while I agree with you one region having more champions than another doesn't really mean it's being explored more or better. Not only that but champs don't have to be born in a place to belong to that region. It's about allegiances. The Order of the Sentinels is the Order Senna belongs to and they're Demacian so she is too

Been following that guy on ArtStation for a while now after I saw his take on Kai'Sa. Been lowkey hoping he'll take a try at Skarner, a champ with criminally low fan art dedicated to him.

This isn't all of it either. While most of the cards were designed at sixmorevodka from going through streams and screenshots of people who have access to the game I'd say that a few of the cards were done in house by Riot or by a different studio because they aren't available on sixmores' site. And that means more concept art. If any Rioters know who is responsible for the few cards that haven't been made available please leave a comment.

Senna will hit live servers in November is why. There is literally no time for another champion to make it through two PBE cycles. The Big release you speak of isn't always chamions. Novembers' big release is Senna and then December is pre-season which is big enough in its' self
