What's the Black Rose?

​@@dalekrenegade2596kinda like the Iluminatis of Runeterra ahah It's Noxus' spies network who pulls the strings in the shadow

​​@@dalekrenegade2596 Basically the Illuminati of Runeterra. They're a secret society capable of pulling strings and influencing every part of Runeterra, except Icathia and Ixtal, due to the void problem of the former and the seclusion of the latter. I don't think they're also within Targon due to the nature of Targon itself. It's a harsh environment, and I don't think any of the Black Rose are suicidal enough to scale it. That aside, they also scour the world, seeking magical artifacts and potential weapons, as preparation for a grim disaster; Mordekaiser's return. Because with his return, he will also bring his army alongside him. He managed to conquer Runeterra twice, once during his life and another after his initial return.

@@dalekrenegade2596 Basically, Lebancs hidden organization that semi controls Noxus. The "Trifecta" (The 3 ACTUAL rulers of Noxus) doesn't stand for it, but its been in effect so long, that it's hard to break The Black Roses grasp. (This is a summary off the top of my memory, but i hope that helps!)

@@JuiceReloaded What do they have to do with lore commitment?

ok so im not crazy

That quote can also be interpreted as 2 different beings mentioned, though. E.g: Troy, Karlo, names don’t matter! Action does.

But i admit it was a really strong hint, they changed plans later

Names don't matter, but Akshan does

@@gmoburrito6090 That's exactly what I thought it was, I thought she referred to her own nickname first, then her god's name

I think it's a 2D flat animation, rather than a 3D render, in this case? So not even that.

ME: downloads Nagakbouros file Nagakabouros: you pc isnt staying in motion.......UNWORTHY Nagakbouros file: *x100 in size......fries CPU*

That or like a flat, backless, wall. like what all games do with terrain.

​@@dormaintaylor8159 Ah yes, the Zip. Bomb

@@BaronVonScrub That can be the case too, the animation was really smooth tho, that's a lot of sprites hahhahaha

Gangplank is literally gangplank though, thats why he survived it, look at his lore and his kit, he's also pirate themed, so he stays in motion, takes his punches, and deals untenable damage to his opponents in reaction.

Special super animation if we land this on Gangplank?

Gangplank was able to not get his brain fried by Nagakabouros because his orange probably negated that effect

Well, I guess this is how Nagakaborous tests you, and obviously Gangplank passed

clearly he was deemed worthy of life by Nagakabouros

that sounds great on the paper but what i learned from experience, in reality the way to counter illaoi is not by staying in motionq but by standing your ground as if you are denying the Nagakaboros concept. 4 out of 5 times when i play Illaoi on top i have harder time winning against more aggresive players that engage me every time i E them instead of running.

Fair enough, but I still think most champions have a hard time winning if they aren't actively dodging her skillshots, especially when going in after she lands E

​@@frankcayseron8637 Tbf they can "be in motion" by standing their ground and being aggressive. If they're good enough to dodge your slams while also fighting you that is. Before ult at least

@@ajhintleman215 of course it goes without saying that illaoi opponent will always try to dodge E, but in case they dont i fought many champions that instead of insinctively trying to get out of range and break E's effect they go full aggro mode like D&D barbarian going for reckless attack. Chogath would Q you as one your E lands you are stuck in animation for a second and his silence stops you from slamming. Darius if caught in your E would rather get in melee range and pull you hoping his bleed out DPS your tentacles, even quinn would rather blind you and prock her passive before flying away. To be fair this also goes to other person's comment that even though standing your ground it seem they are still in motion so i guess i AM somewhat wrong in my initial statement :D

@@frankcayseron8637 Playing Cho'gath against Illaoi when she E's you is just a dmg check. "can I deal more dmg to her than she does to my soul? and deny her from destroying it?", then back to farming. Just be in front of her instead of the side, so the wall tentacles don't hit you

God forbid if riot made an 1h long video

@@dankmemes8254 Why do you think they haven't?

​@@dankmemes8254 Riot releases a 1 hour video Necrit: Creates his own cinematic universe out of it

Yea i think she was infected by life instead of the other way around causing her to turn green instead of void purple.

It sounds cool, but it goes against the entirety of the watcher's lore Their whole thing is that they WANT to kill reality because it's an annoying light that woke them up

@@northernalpine4350 *the majority want to kill reality* Maybe you have the one Watcher who saw the value and enjoyed the chaos reality brought.

@@beholder99 That one vegan dood of thr group

@@northernalpine4350 individuals in the watchers group can have different opinions and she could have broken some time in the past to be part of and be changed by creation instead of changing it to fit her.

well... sleeping/resting seems to be the opposite of action and motion

I agree 100%. When he says about watchers was the first thing that came to mynd and would makes sense because of the size and Secrets of this thing. League has the problem from have to many big things without explanation.

​​@@Braxtonkaibut the watchers only wanted that because is the only thing they knew. Imagine something like Nagakabouros dont agree with them and go to earth and start powering people to fight agaisnt the watchers to keep that reality alive... And the theme "motion" from her its a theme agaisnt what the watchers wanted that is only sleep

Damn that would be really cool. The story can go so many ways from here. Maybe the buhru tribe where the predecessors of an ancient freljord tribe, and the Nagakaborous , a watcher, basically followed them, curious, over centuries, and maybe at some point decided to be Nagakaborous . Maybe she was from the same realm as the watcher's (the void) but it was the watchers that invaded and Nagakaborous was one of the last of its native kind, half corrupted by their void-ish infection causing her to grow tentacles. Maybe Nagakaborous managed to escape Lissandra's eyes by hiding in the sea, never leaving. And slowly spread her influence to one day take over runeterra biding her time until the watchers finally return as per Lissandras quotes.

This is a great theory

Felt cute might shatter the lands later

​@@dankmemes8254Mazdamundi moment.

GP survived it when he "died" for 2 weeks

@@Razeki27 He survived the spiritual test, not an encounter with the Goddess

​@@rianeduardo2244it's spirit that gets to meet the god, not champ themselves

It is just fighting game lore... which is basically anime lore... Except for Mortal Kombat/injustice fighting games don't have a "kill only animation". In the case of MK... everything is a kill animation even if the character is still alive.

N'zoth Shhh.... don't tell anyone...

Nothing his oranges cannot fix

You have Bard, Targon, and Asol above and Nagaka and Buhuru below, and Fiddle, Ashlash, Morde and the Other 10 (Fiddle included) In-between, and Lastly the Watchers beyond. Sounds fair and balanced to me.

haha, not many here seem to play fighting games or be interested in the genre, but i was wondering the same thing while watching 🤣 i'm curious to get to try it

2 late won't be the 4th character

Sadge

I guess the chanps mentioned here total 8-12% of the Champs so you right.

Nah she is not depressed as zato-1/eddie

i think we can rule out skarner and cho, skarner may be big but he is contained to the size of ixtal. aurelion sol could be a contender, after all you've got to be inmense to casually create and hold galaxies in your palms lol, nagakaboros, i don't know, i wonder if it's measurable, or if we could only measure the size of whichever avatar she is using at that point in time. We don't truuuly know if that wall of eyes is an actual physical being that is nagakaboros, or if it's merely a partial/temporary manifestation of her in the physical world, or even a vision.
