New visual update: Every kill Darius gets extends his cape's length

Ally: why you build Dead Man's Plate first? Darius: *to make my cape look longer*

The animation technique mixing 3D characters and 2D Effects, plus de matte painting resemble, is so beautiful It literally made me cry, thinking in all the hard work putted into this animation and the satisfaction it brought to all the team involved. It truly is a modern Master Piece.

I like how zed is depicted as the vilain here but in fact he’s just trying to protect his land against the invadors like half of the Ionian champs

Animators: T-t-the cape should be long enough now right? Riot: Remember, your families...

Riot: "We made videos and songs." Also Riot: "Occationally we make games"

ARCANE exposed me to all these LOL Cinematics/Songs and man they all hit so good. This is my first time watching this one and the artistic way the video was done along with the glorious song has me playing this on repeat all this morning! The vocals/song here takes me to another place!

The fact that Darius is the actual villain here makes this more chilling

0:53 An entire team failing to stop Darius from reaching the backline, sounds about right.

I'm still amazed by the artistic style of this video.

Can we just appreciate how riot makes masterpiece on every cinematics

league: has good lore and an actual story ml: has a boxer fighting demons

*Darius:* Hey Demacians, I know we're enemies and everything but me and the bois are gonna invade Ionia to annoy Zed, wanna join us?

Literally, every frame of this video can be a wallpaper

1:52 When you finally get a hold of person who kept you pushed under the tower first half of the game

Breathe - Legends of Runeterra Lyrics, Letra: Verse I hear the sound, echoes beneath Angels and skylines meet And I’m straining to reach The light on the surface Light on the other side Pre-Chorus I feel the pages turning I see the candle burning down Before my eyes, before my wild eyes I feel you holding me Tighter, I cannot see When will we finally breathe? Chorus Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Post-Chorus Ah-ah, ah-ah, ooh Ah-ah, ah-ah, ooh Pre-Chorus I feel the pages turning I see the candle burning down Before my eyes, before my wild eyes And I feel you holding me Tighter, I cannot see When will we finally breathe? Chorus Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Outro Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe

Darius has been getting the protagonist treatment lately

Riot is music producer company. Trust me

Those 2 kids could be a solid champion one day... i love the dinamic of them together

This smooth "breathe" Killin me

Zed: I have an army Noxus: We have a fed Darius

Zed: 15 shadows, jumps around everywhere, can become invulnerable Alpha Chad Darius: Has an axe

For a guy who uses shadows and has a reputation of being extremely dangerous and deadly is somehow not the bad guy. Dude practically carries ionia (he should be 2nd if Master Yi didn't yoda in his lore)

Those 2 kids have to become 2 ranged marksman, so they can both go dragon lane together

Darius must've been in a hurry that he mistook a red carpet for a cape.

Marketing they made for this card game is top notch!

I love this game and watching that hurts a lot, those were great moments. I hope they find a solution so that the game doesn't end for good. Thanks to all the artists and developers who worked on it, you guys are incredible.

Moonton: write it down, write it down

Jonathan: So what's the first lesson of using hamon? Zeppeli:

since LoR came out, Darius is giving off more and more Guts from Berserk vibes

For this 3 years of the game I just want to say thank you to all the people hating worked on it. It’s been an honour to play the game, having fun and grinding in the ranked and also chilling in the path of the champions. Maybe not the greatest game of all time but for me it was one of the greatest game I played in my life. I will not be sad for the fact they will slow the game down and probably we will not see new champions, but I will smile remembering how this game gave me so many good moments. Thanks to all the rioter that worked on it I really hope this is not the end and the game will have the opportunity to shine again in the future.

1:50 These 2 can actually be an insane design for a champion. Basically a brother and sister playing together Switching between eachother. Imagine if basically willump could ride nunu and swap around using different spells Similar to how say Elise swaps forms but instead its these 2 kids. And swap back and forth. That could be how they work. They seem to have some abilities sorta teased. That would be an insane champ design to see. Unique and interesting.

Darius' stylist: How long did you want your cape to be? Darius: Yes of course

The blend of CG, cell shading and traditional animation is gorgeous.

JUST MAKE A MOVIE ALREADY PLEASEEEE RIOT GAMESS UR ANIMATIONS ARE GOD TIER

Watching this now hurts.

God Riot’s animation and music department’s back’s must hurt from carrying the entire company

Zed:*Just doing his job protecting ionia* Riot: We'll make him look like the villain and make darius the protag

"Witness true power." - Darius

2:34 I simply love his smile on this scene. Shows his eagerness for battles, fights and challenges.

After reading Zed comic and watching this video, it made me realize that zed is a man of honor and will do everything for Ionia even if it makes him the bad guy. Truly wonderful story

Breathe, Rise, Awaken - Riot knows how to wake you up in the morning !

i like how zed is being treated like a bad guy even tho he just want to save ionia

Animation and games aside, can we just talk about how soul redeeming this song is???

Animators: How many animation videos you want for Legends of Runeterra? Riot: Yes.

Didnt feel like breathing, but after watching this vido...it doesn't seem too bad

Bro you see this beautiful animation and song,and you think,what they will do next,then we have season 13 animation

i was crying because of how beautiful this masterpiece is.

Man my boi Zed is just fighting everyone in every new cinematic...

Rito just made their own "Avengers Assemble" moment right there

What I love about this game the most is how much it has added to Runeterra - the world of League of Legends. It's not just about those champions duking it out. It's also about the common people, the street kids as well as the regular soldiers and about the magnificent places of this world.

2:47 omfg this scene

Zed: "i have an army" Darius: "i am an army"

У меня прям слезы текут от этой песни и анимации, настолько душевно и чувственно нарисовано, спето,сыгранно... замечательно

Just started getting into league. I love how many different art styles and directions they have

That Rookie carrying the Zaun girl on his shoulders is running as fast as the soldiers around him and he should be *feared*

Automatic breathing disabled, thanks Rito

2:48 "Cap?... hey Cap, to your left..."

you know the video is good when every single frame of the video can be setted up as background

Gonna give it to Rito though, they've done the impossible: A card game that is both fun and not pay to win (so far)

I love how when the skull shit happened darius just ran straight into it. Like, "I ain't no bitch".

Zeds entry through the smoke is 🔥🔥🔥

This song reminded me to breathe. Thank you so much! I feel so alive now

The song was produced independently by Fluerie like three years ago. This is a Remix if you were wondering 😉

No one: Darius' cape: _"infinity and beyond"_

2:52 this part really hit different

Please make another one of these, updated with the new champs. I really love the music and art style it's so good! Keep up the good work everyone, the game is wonderful!

What animation styles you want in the Runeterra series? Rito: Yes..

Noob Darius should've used his Q when all of those shadow clones were surrounding him

Nobody talks about how this song used in this trailer is really good. At first, i was like yea its okay, but right now i frikin love it :D

My eyes got burned by that "Pacquito Trailer"..

2:02 awww thats cute. Rather than closing the bomb he closed her.☺️

In reality: Darius: Imma get ur ass. Zed: LoL. *Will of Ionia* Bye.

Come here to clean my eyes after Watch the "NEW" Fuckito Cinematic

I still tear up when I watch this out of love for the creativity, beautiful animation, and lovely song.

Zed: Doth mother know you wear-eth her drapes ?

You gotta remember that despite Zed looking like the "bad guy", he chose his path because he wanted to protect his home from Noxian invaders, and Darius is, well, a Noxian.

As someone who has never played league of legends or runeterra, this is such a beautiful piece of art. The stylistic choices made are amazing, how could anyone just not appreciate this.

Coming back to this a year down the line, riot- yall are amazing!

This video reminded me to breathe. Thanks

911 Operator: What is your emergency? Darius: I'm tangled in my cape and suffocating! Operator: *plays this song*

This song gives me such chills.. I can’t stop listening… And the animation itself is absolutely breathtaking!

This trailer literally makes me cry tears of pure joy. It’s GORGEOUS and the music is so perfect it’s something out of a dream.

Came here to heal my eyes from that "New" cinematic trailer of Paquito.

Why do I feel like crying after every single League of Legends cinematic

People who've been clapped by Darius having a PTSD moment:

"How long do you want Darius's cape to be?" "Yes"

I don't want to die without having seen a riot movie

Me: trying to forget for a few minutes that there is a pandemic that mostly manifests in respiratory problems Riot: *breeeeaaaatheeeee*

I’m not crying, it’s just raining near my eyes

Giving me chills 1 year later.

That demacian charge though, with Cithria, that was a golden intense moment. and that music to back it up i can see why we shed a tear. beauty

Producer: "So, how long should Darius' cape be?" *Riot: "Yes"*

To think MLBB actually tried to remake this masterpiece, hats off to this Riot's original

Me knowing nothing about the LoR but I'm just absolutely blown away by this art style. Wish we saw more cinematics in this style.

after this, i really need a total war: Runeterra

Typical Bronze Zed wasting all his cooldowns on a Darius when theres two adc's right next to him. smh.

I can never get over the animation of this video. It’s so well done and magical, it fits the song and League of Legends!

I've seen all riot cinematics and this one is among the most powerful ones for me, i also really love the 2022 lunar revel, bard and ryze's edit: and omg 'the call' is such a beautiful song as well
