Bro, the cinematic from this year (2023) everyone hated. Not only was there no communication from Riot about when the new season was starting, but they dropped this out of no where, called it a day and that was it. Now, if you want more amazing videos from Riot: K/DA (K D A) - Popstars, Drum go Dumb, I'll Show You, Villain, The Baddest and More - These are based off the skin line that came out for these champions and created an alternate world. Pentakill - Mortal Reminder - another skin line announcement True Damage - Giants - another skin line announcement You Really Got Me cinematic - the trailer for Wild Rift, the mobile version of League of Legends

Also, quick rundown of each cinematic plus champion intro in order of appearance: 2009 - game trailer, these are some of the original champions release with the game, some of them have had visual reworks since this trailer - Annie (pre-rework), Master Yi, Nunu & Willump, Original Cast Line up. 2013 - first real cinematic we got - Twisted Fate, Fiddlesticks (pre rework), Ryze, Nocturne, Katarina (red head) and Garen, Tryndamere, Annie (post rework), Baron Nashor (Baron is not a playable character, but an entity on the map you can kill to gain a temporary buff) 2014 - everyones favourite original cinematic and is basically a 3D representation of a typical 5v5 on Summoners Rift (the map name) - Ahri (fox) and Leona, Katarina, Darius, Draven (Darius little brother), Zyra, (left to right group shot) Rengar - Graves - Ahri - Jax, Nautilus (big tanky boi) 2018 - this is the first world building cinematic we get about Ryze cahsing down the world Runes Stones in order to put them somewhere safe and out of reach. These rune stones are extremely powerful and beholders are easily corrupted by them - Ryze, Miss Fortune (Sarah Jane Fortune - Pirate), Nasus (egyptian style good boi), Sona (mute songstress), Trundle (big troll). The last creature we see with Ryze is believed to be a Watcher, one of the all powerful beings that watch the world of Runeterra, they're not good, but not quite bad either, but there is one that went bad (Vel'Koz) 2018 - mini trailer for some new champions that were released (you can also check out Champion trailers and Tales of Runeterra cinematics if you want more lore and world building) - Yasuo, Taliyah (Stone weaver), Ekko (dude, btw), Blitzcrank, Miss Fortune, Lucian, Thresh 2019 - arguably one of the best cinematics imo, but 2022 was phenomenal in graphic animation - Jhin (serial killer), Draven, Irelia, Camille, Riven, Sion (charging at Irelia), Karma (provided a shield for Irelia), Akali (ninja), Yasuo, Kennen (he's a creature called a Yordle, and Yordles are notorious for causing havoc where ever they go) 2020 - this one caused a wee bit of an uproar due to the lore of Demacia (the city you see in the first opening). Demacia has a law banning all mages, prohibiting all maguic and requiring the execution of mages found in the kingdom. Lux, the blonde you see, is Garens little sister, and they're fighting Sylas, a mage who was exiled from Demacia and cmae back to start a civil war and free the mages. Sylas used Lux to gain access to the city. Realistically, Lux would have been executed for doing this AND being a mage herself, but good ol' nepotism means she gets to live - Garen, Lux, Random goons, Ezreal (blond boi), Sylas (chains dude - he summons a sword, because his ingame ultimate ability is to steal other champion ultimates and use them), Caitlyn, Vi (Violet, but she'll tell you it stands for Violence), Kai'sa (purple lady), Urgot (crab dude), Galio (big statue dude). 2021 - this cinematic started the Ruination event that happened for the game. There were extra story lines, in game things to get and skins. It also introduced a champion release, Viego - Lucian, Senna (they are married)(Senna has a piece of Isolde's soul, Viego's queen who died long ago and was reincarnated), Viego, Samira, Darius, Karma, Poppy (Yordle), Vayne. 2022 - This cinematic is honestly the best in terms of visual detail, plus leads into the next event League had for its players, i was also the first time Rek'sai and Ornn showed up in a video and people went nuts - Ornn (God of the Forge), Sejuani (Riding Bristle, her drüvask boar), Taliyah, Kai'sa, Pantheon, Olaf, Voidlings (monster looking things in the desert - non playable), The Ursine (followers of Volibear, a god brought into being by his followers - non playable), Leona, the big beam that threw Pantheon off Mount Targon is believed to have come from Aurelion Sol (star forger and creator of the universe - he created Runeterra, but was then tricked and trapped into servitude by the watchers, he hates the world he created), Rek'sai (the original Mother of the Void) 2023 - basically a 3D flyover of Summoners Rift, the map you play on. This one is mostly disappointing because everyone was hoping for a another champion showcase like they'd done in previous years. We still don't understand what riot was trying to achieve with this one as past years have added lore, character backstory, or introduced new champions and parts of Runeterra or events that were coming up. This one has a few weapons in Baron pit, but apart from that, there's not really anything to it. It was released without warning while the player base was waiting for the new season to start, and sparked possibly the biggest uproar I've seen from a community that actually had an impact on the company. Riot has announced they'll be more transparent about everything they hope to achieve in the coming year and so far they haven't let us down. It's allowed them to communicate with the player base more, given us a heads up if a patch is coming out late, and explained why they've needed to drop certain projects and work on others. You can also look up a lot of champion lore on their website, and as of today (31/03/23), there's 163 Champions available to play, with the latest release being Milio (loosely based off latina culture).

The kid with "gravity manipulation" is Ekko. He was in Arcane. The badass guy with chains is Sylas. A new game about him will be released soon called The Mageseeker. It's like a rogue-like I think?? FYI: Just because you haven't seen some of the characters in past cinematics, doesn't mean they're new. There are some characters who are old af but have never been in a cinematic ever. Btw, LoL has a TON more cinematics & music videos. Some are for skins. WAIT WHY DID THE COMPILATION ADD THE CRAPPY 2023 ONE???? 😭 NOOO WHYYY
@therren9981 Жыл бұрын
It was sort of debunked about Mageseeker being a Rogue-Like (I assume you watched Necrit's first reaction to it, he retracted his guess of it being a rogue-like once the website for it opened up, it may have been from an interview done at the same time as the website opening up, all I remember is Necrit saying he was wrong about it being a Rogue-Like). If you haven't seen anything about it recently, I very much recommend checking out the website. It has a lot of cool screenshots (Morgana being part of the story is going to be nuts if she's written anything like in the lore), shows more info about what we'll be doing as Sylas, even has links to the different Champions you'll find throughout the game.

There are some things in the cinematics that you cannot do in the game. But overwhelming part of the moves and attack those characters are using are in the game too. To if you play the game and you know those abilities - you get double the fun. Also that mage 2018 cinematic was all about - that's Ryze. He's hands down the most powerful Mage on all of Runeterra. He is ABSURDLY op lore-wise. It's just that he doesn't like to use all that power because he fears he will become obsessed with it. His master became like that and used something called the World Runes to end all conflict. But that triggered the cataclysm called the Rune Wars. Rune Wars is what they show in Ryze's memories in this cinematic once the World Rune starts tempting him. Ryze knows, how dangerous World Runes are. They can destroy entire continents easily. Ryze thinks that absolutely nobody has the right to use the World Runes, no matter the circumstances. That's why he travels all around Runeterra, collecting World Runes and hiding them away in the Petricite Forest in Demacia, where World Runes' magic is severely weakened. That huge tree you see in the begining? That's part of Petricite Forest. The fact that Ryze can even use magic there speaks volumes of how absurdly op he really is. Any other mage would be powerless with all that petricite around. Because petricite is a mineral in Demacia that suppresses magic. You actually use World Runes in the game in the new runes system. Masteries now no longer exist. And you no longer have to buy the runes. The words Ryze says: "Some say I hold too much power. Others say I can't be trusted. Maybe they're right. But the only power I truly have is the strength to let it go." Those words refer to the simple fact that Ryze is the only person on entire Runeterra that held a World Rune (many World Runes in fact) in his/her hand and didn't use it. No other person in Runeterra is that mentally strong. You could say Ryze is the main character of League of Legends. He's really the glue holding the world together. If not for him - Runeterra would be destroyed by the World Runes long time ago.

The Blacksmith is basically a god who only makes weapons during times of great calamity. The alien Samus looking girl was a human who had been trapped in the void a dimension of darkness and corruption she survived and returned to runeterra the world that league takes place in. She willingly got retrapped in the void to prevent destruction in runeterra. Runeterra has several nations with their own timelines and characters all taking place at the same time the lore is really expansive. Arcane takes place in piltover a progressive and technologically advanced society and Zaun a city under piltover where the residents are laborers and not as wealthy as piltover they have a lot of struggles that will be explored in Arcane.

That card champion named twisted fate is really fun, he gets 3 different types of cards that each do a different things. Ryze, the purple mage is trying to get the book which contains runes (a very strong part of magic) away from nocturne, the darkness fog dude because he swore to never let an evil person get a hold of any rune because the results could literally tear the world apart and he's dedicated hid life to it The reason they are all fighting(aside from the game aspect of pick a champ and duke it out) is because in the realm of runeterra(the planet, sort of, idk) there are wars between the different kingdoms and then there are simple outlaws and criminals, eg. The red haired girl with the daggers is called katarina and she fights for the kingdom noxus(the sort of bad guys of the universe) and the one she fought with the sword that could summon swords from the sky called garen fights for demacia(a kingdom at war with noxus. Btw that blue crystal they were fighting over is called a nexus which is what you have to destroy to win the game

If you were following the Riot News on Twitter or at least Necrit on KZfaq, you'd know that 2022 was a rough year for Riot because so many employees left, they moved a couple people from various teams around because of it, and had to make new teams from scratch. Despite that, they still delivered a new year cinematic. They tried something new and the community made it crystal clear that they *hated* it. We already know that next year will have a cinematic similar to Awaken or The Call because of this.

This is gonna be a serious wall of text, but here's some context/info about all of the cinematics. So, in order, for some context, the first cinematic was for the original release, and wasn't much of a cinematic really. The second, "A Twist of Fate" showed several random battles between characters, which is in line with what happnes in game. Tobias "Twisted Fate" Fate, the gambit looking guy vs. pre-rework Fiddlesticks, who went from a cartoony 'posessed scarecrow' to an actually terrifying monster. Lots of lore there, but the "Terror in Demacia" video is worth watching if you want to get an idea of the rework. Then there's Ryze, the blue/purple guy who you see several times. He is, lore wise, sort of the main character for League. More on him when I get to his cinematic. He's fighting Nocturn, a shadowy nightmare demon. Then it goes to Katarina, the redheaded assassin woman, vs. Garen, big paladin looking guy with the sword you see a couple times. Tryndamere, who was the only character depicted with one of the in-game cosmetics for that video, is the big berserker looking guy that gets stabbed. Then Annie, the little girl with fire powers who summons the flaming bear. At the end, Baron Nashor, a neutral 'boss' enemy in the game, appears. In game, the team that lands the final blow on him gets a big buff. After that there's "A New Dawn" which is actually a fully set up team vs. team fight in the style of the game. You played it before you said, so I won't go into too much detail about lanes other than to say it's set up as Darius(Big Axe Man) vs. Jax(weird multi eyed mask with the lantern for a weapon) as the top laners Nautilus(Big Armored Diving Suit guy) vs. Rengar(Cat Man) as Junglers. Katarina(Assasin lady again) vs. Ahri(9 tailed fox lady) in the middle lane Draven(spinning axes with the silly mustache) vs. Graves(Cigar smoker with the double barrel) as the bottom laners/Attack Damage Carries(known as AD/C) Zyra(Poison Ivy ripoff) vs. Leona(Fiery sword and shield lady) as supports. In the years since, after some reworks, Nautilus is usually a support now, and Graves a jungler. The big blue glowy thing at the end is the Nexus. Both teams have them, and the team that destroys the enemies first, wins. After that cinematic, they become much more lore focused, starting with "Call to Power". Ryze, the purple man, is an ancient Rune Mage from back during the Rune War, which fucked up most of the planet. The world runes(basically League of Legends infinity stones) are what he's collecting. They're the sources of power that shaped their planet(Runeterra) from back at the beginning of their world, basically, and are too powerful to trust anybody with, so he's hiding them. Most of the video is him having a flashback, first to the Rune Wars where you can see the destruction that happened, then to his adventures looking for that one in particular where he runs into other champions from the game. Miss Fortune(redhead doublefisting pistols), Nasus(anubis knockoff), Sona(floating blue haired woman with the magic instrument), and Trundle(the big ice troll that yelled at him). It isn't confirmed but the thing towards the end of the flashback with the giant eye and tentacles is likely a Void creature. Long story there, but basically they existed before existence and are really annoyed at existence for, well, existing, because it's loud and they don't like it. Want to end everything. After that is "The Climb", which shows various characters doing stuff related to their lore, but it doesn't get into the nitty gritty. Yasuo(flute playing guy with the wind sword) is on the run for a crime he didn't commit. Hard to say what exactly is the context for all the arrows, but it shows off his wind powers nicely. Then Taliyah(brunette with the rock powers) who is being attacked by something unknown. Ekko, one of the characters you can see in Arcane, who has time powers, and Blitzcrank, robot with an extendable grabby hand. They're fighting some thugs in Zaun, the place they're from. Miss Fortune again who seems to be dealing with a sea monster, possibly an avatar of Nagakabouros, the "Goddess of Motion" who has tentacles and such. Lot of lore there. After her is Lucien, a Sentinal of Light. He's in the Shadow Isles going after Thresh, skeleton man it shows at the end, because he trapped Luciens wife Senna in his soul lantern. After that, "Awaken." Starts with Jhin, the masked guy, who is a serial killer from Ionia(SE Asian inspired place), who is currently in Piltover(more stuff you'd learn more about watching Arcane. Serioulsy, highly recommended) causing problems for Camille, glowy eyed woman with the knife legs and Attack on Titan manuever gear. She attempts to apprehend him, but he gets away. Irelia, the young woman in the red who has floating knives, is defending her country of Ionia from invaders, who are from Noxus, the place where Katarina, Darius, and Draven(all from previous stuff) are from. She fights Sion(big ass mf with the red glowing stomach), once a great Noxian warrior resurrected to use as, basically, a battering ram for their armies. She gets help from Karma(actual name is Darha but she's possesed by the literal spirit of Ionia), the lady who shielded her with the green magic, Akali, ninja assassin with the flips who smoke bombed Sions face, Yasuo again, showing off more wind powers, and Kennen, little electric rat ninja. Then there's Riven, the white haired gladiator woman. She fought in Ionia for Noxus but defected because they were doing really awful shit there and full on betrayed her and her unit. Noxus found her cause her sword, the big one Draven(that's who the mustache man watching the fights is) tossed her, is super powerful and they wanted her and it back since she was such a good soldier before. She's in Dravens arena where he puts on executions disguised as gladiatorial matches, basically, and he hops in to fight her himself cause that's his schtick with 'big name' executions. (part 1)
@Iamthecrazyone Жыл бұрын
(part 2, I told you it'd be a huge wall of text) Then there's "Warriors" which uses an alternate version of the same named song Imagine Dragons made in collaboration with League some years prior. In it there's Luxanna "Lux" Crownguard, Garen's(big paladin guy from before) little sister, and Garen. They're from Demacia, and because of the Rune Wars, Demacia hates mages. Lux is a mage but hides her powers. The badass chain guy is Sylas, who was imprisoned as a child because he was a mage, but eventually broke out and is leading a rebellion against the corrupt leaders of Demacia who kidnap, poison, and lock up children just cause they were born with magic. It's a whole thing, which is explained more in the Mageseeker game that's come out recently. This shows a conflict with Sylas, his rebellion, and the Demacians defending that garrison at the Northern border. Then there's Ezreal, the blond guy with the attitude, who's a self titled adventurer. Goes around looking for artifacts and such. He finds the Tear of the Goddess, and taking it releases the seal that kept all those little void creatures locked up and is saved by Kai'Sa, lady in the purple alien suit, is from Shurima(think magical Egypt) and her village fell into a void rift when she was young. The void is very present in Shurima. She managed to survive by bonding with a void creature, which she now wears like a Symbiote suit, and she goes around fighting the Void where she can. Then there's Vi and Caitlyn. Caitlyn is the Sheriff of Piltover and an excellent sniper, and Vi is her partner and GF, who is an excellent hand to hand fighter/boxer and uses those big ass guantlets(Atlas Guantlets) to amplify her hits. They stop Urgot(Crime boss/cult leader who turned himself into a heavliy armed crab man) from escaping when his cultists try to break him out. Then there's "Ruination" which was supposed to be a big lore event season, but it was handled kinda poorly, but that's why that one was a bit out of place in the middle of the others. Still well done. Lucien and Senna are on their way somewhere when black mist from the Shadow Isles(spooky island full of undead after an event known as the ruination happened) appears. The guy they fight in the mist is Viego, the undead king of Camavor. He went to the blessed isles to save his wifes life, failed, and caused the ruination that turned it into the Shadow Isles. He's looking for the pieces of his wifes soul, one if which is inside Senna, to again attempt to bring her back. He can possess others(his in game power lets him turn into any enemy that he kills or helps kill for a short time) You see Darius again, this time with Samira(flippy lady with the sword and gun and eyepatch), a daredevil mercenary working for Noxus. Karma again(fighting alone in some kind of mediation garden), Poppy(yordle, which is a small magical race of, like, gremlin faires basically) who lives in Demacia and has a magical giant hammer(and yes, she is a playable character). She and Vayne(sunglasses and crossbows), who is super prejudiced against magic folk to a psychotic degree, lore wise(she killed her mentor/mother figure without hesitation because she used magic to save Vaynes life), work together to fight off the ghouls. Sadly, Darius and Poppy ended up not included in the event, as well as several other characters who's story should have had them heavily involved, but that's all part of the poor handling thing. Then there's "The Call". Starts showing Ornn, who is like a bipedal Ram, Forge/Hearth God of the Freljord(Northern lands with viking types), starting work on a weapon, which he vowed never to make again. It's meant to be forshadowing for some future stuff where the world is threatened and his weapons are needed, etc. The finished weapon at the end, though hard to tell, appears to be one of the in-game items you can purchase called Infinity Edge. Then there's Sejuani, badass warlord woman riding her boar, Bristle. She's leading her clan into the territory of the Ursine, the bear people, to get a magical pot that Ornn made which can keep her tribe fed and alive through a really harsh winter. The Ursine are twisted creatures made into the image of The Volibear(the sillhouette that appears with the lightning), God of Storms and Ornns vicious brother. She has Olaf with her, another champion, who is cursed by a prophesy that he'll die a peaceful death of old age. For his people, that's the worst possible outcome, and so he throws himself into fight after fight, joining Sejuani because she's a warmonger and so is always ending up in fights, to try and find a battle to die in. Lore wise, he's basically immortal because of it, which is hilariously the last thing he wants. Then there's Taliyah again, and Kai'Sa again. They ran into eachother while Taliyah was trying to find a safe place for her people. Kai'Sa saved them from some void monsters. The place Taliyah thought was safe is the ruined town you see them in. They get attacked by Xer'sai, and their mother(the big one) Rek'sai. Kai'Sa goes back to the Void she'd escaped to draw Rek'Sai and her brood away from Taliyah and her people. Then there's Pantheon(aka Mantheon, barrel chested spartan with the spear). He's from Mt. Targon, basically like Olympus. His real name is Atreus, and when he was younger, he reached the summit in order to gain power from the gods to fight off bandits and barbarians that were killing his people. Instead, the God of War known as Pantheon possessed him and used his body. Pantheon bit off more than he could chew against, basically a demon, named Aatrox(lot of lore there, this has already gotten too long). Pantheon died, but Atreus was still alive and spat in Aatrox's face while impaled on his blade. Still retains the power of Pantheon, but he's big on humanity and has a grudge against the gods, seeing them as assholes who play with mortal lives(he's not entirely wrong in this setting), and so he's going back to the summit, but he's stopped by Solari, sun god worshipping warriors. Their leader, and the woman empowered by the aspect(god) of the sun, Leona, who was in "A New Dawn" steps up to stop him, at which point he gets blasted off the mountain by a shooting star. There are a couple things that could have done it, but the likeliest source is Aurelion Sol(giant space dragon that creates stars and who was tricked by the gods of Mt. Targon and basically enslaved by them, but he's been breaking free bit by bit since the old God of War held his yolk so to speak and is now dead). Atreus had been having some confidence issues(stuff left over from the awful Ruination event actually) but at the end he gets his shit together and draws on Pantheons power again to blast off to go and face the Gods. Not much to say about the last one. There were internal issues which they didn't tell anybody about and so slapped together that lame shit and passed it off as a season cinematic. Just a high def version of Summoners Rift(the main battleground for League matches) with a voiceover reading off champion voicelines in a way that makes it vaguely poetic. Pretty bad start to the year, for most fans. They've at least been more communicative with the player base since, but when you look at all the previous stuff, and then this year we got that? Pretty disappointing. Anyway, if you actually read all that, cool, if not also cool, but hopefully you at least scroll to the bottom so I can once again endorse trying out Mageseeker(hack and slash action roguelike), Ruined King(turn based rpg), Convergence(metroidvania-esque platformer), Legends of Runeterra(card game), and also, watch Arcane. It stands on its own, very well done story, animation, everything, and it has a lot of info about Piltover and Zaun within the League universe as a nice cherry on top.

I'll be honest, I don't give a shit about League of Legends the game. However, I _love_ the world that Riot has built for their games, and just how... vibrant it all is. Their cinematics are phenomenal, and... honestly, they're way more of a media company that makes outstanding animations/music videos, and one of the best animated shows of all time that just... happens to also make a few games.

23:50 to give you some lore the guy with the chains who looks evil is Sylas and he was unjustly imprisoned imprisoned because he was a "peasent" and they blamed him so he wants to make justice and create a society without kings and queens. In fact in game this ability that he has 24:51 is called KingSlayer.

I hated League back then. I always viewed it as an easier and inferior version of DOTA. I then tried it. I played it a lot ever since. I hate it more than I hated it back then... anyways, time for some soloq

I'm guessing when they started heavily investing in their cinematics coincides with when they began working on their MMO, I used to think it was just due to increased popularity, but the focus on lore and various settingzs combined with the time required to craft an mmo seeming to coincide with the trailer quality improvements, it seems likely.

What i like about Ryze lore, the blue guy from 16:36, is that he can destroy the world but choose not to do so and what you saw in this cinematic is how the world would turn out if he uses the world rune wrong

@Lusius88797 ай бұрын
the issue with League Of Legends, is that there are 2 League Of Legends. Firstly, we have the actual game of League Of Legends. But then we have basically everything else (cinematics, music, side-games, book, lore, etc). Hating the actual game is understandable, but then you look at everything else League Of Legends has produced and it's just... it's so fucking good. Which makes it even more confusing, seeing how garbage playing the actual game can be
