***** yea Nasus is narrating Azir's story

yeş

The piltover/Zaun story isn't over yet

they will eventually, because those hextech crystals originate from shurima

would much rather see ionia vs noxus. shurima is so random

Not before noxus

Daniel Scarpaci Look up "Azir Voice" on youtube. Then tell me that's Azir.

Daniel Scarpaci Ooh, rekt!

Daniel Scarpaci Wrong. look up the first video. When Renekton comes out of the Tomb he says "The brother, i loved and locked away" -> Nasus.

Daniel Scarpaci You, are some form of idiot.

Lol he deleted his stupid comment XD

Don't forget how long it is to write the story and stuff for it. They're basically rebooting the lore. A process that takes a lot of time and creativity. People are just never satisfied. Nobody gets that these don't take a week to make. They take a very long time over a very elaborate process.. :/

DorkATex They are rebooting the lore in a way that will ultimately no sense because of the way the game is constructed. "Oh yeah, uh they come back to life (for no reason) repeatedly when on top of this mountain place called Dingus's Rift, and they also can use these two abilities I just made up called Flash and Ignite because GOD WILLS IT." Removing summoners means you basically have DotA without the ANCIENTS, which is how DotA explains everything (The Ancients are gods trapped in orbs). And unless Riot wants to deal with the backlash they either have to steal that concept or just bullshit their way through it and do 2x as much work as before rather than just leaving League of Legends as a way of getting action heroes to fight and settle political disputes. In short, they took the League, and now we just have some Legends fighting in the middle of buttfucking nowhere for no reason. RIOT showing its competence as always.

***** So fucking true. This fairytale has no sense now.

***** Who said they were removing summoners from the lore?

Ketamine Riot themselves

Wow, nice

thats was cool i love everything omg

PLS PLS PLS MAKE AN MOVIE !!

anime would be the best thing

no movie, a series, a series of every tale of every champion and then then make a movie. i would pay for it a thousand times..

Mike Litoris 5 powerful maybe 6

those lights and him becoming a bird was some all powerful force "ascending" him, so he's like a demi-god

lost lanius In fact, they are seen as demigod characters by normal people due to their immense power. Lore based, ascendants are one of the most powerful races in the league universe, only compared to the original iceborn (not Ashe or sejuani, but yes lissandra) and the frozen watchers. But even being an extremely powerful creature, ascendants like azir or nasus are surpassed by xerath.

werta600 Good theory but why would Xerath be stronger? He stole his ascension and his body was mutilated as a result. He is probably just as strong but the power that would normally go to the body instead amplified his arcane power maybe. In the old lore he and Brand and possibly Anivia was clearly the most powerful in LoL, but now Xerath's "prison" is an armor, part of him. That's what he looks like, he wouldn't be more powerful if he "broke out" because the armor is part of him in this lore.

Mike Litoris But not enough powerful to defeat xerath :DDDD

so TRUE

+spongeyspikes09 Not that hard for me though

Seth Valencia any tips?

+spongeyspikes09 just farm.. dont engage in early game just poke. in clash, just stay behind your 2nd skill and 1st can reach the enemy dont dive in :)

So easy play bruh, squishy at the beginning.. but make sure you dodge those range attacks and your jg constantly ganks so you can farm. Dont use your mana so fast just use W and leave it there around the minions. When you are enged near your turret by combat, use ult faci g turret and push him to your turrt. if not mear your turret, push him away from you amd go opposite direction. You are fucked by teleporting people. Like Zed, Yi, that Flower lady that blinks at you.. anyone. You will certainly die from Teemo.

@@sn4ke16 Ohh so true. I missed that.

Every single Ascended is a legitimate world-class threat on his/her own. The main reason why Targon had to intervene to stop Darkin Wars.

Necrit made a video about what would happen if Azir didn't die and apparently Azir would've united the ascended because without him dying, the rest of the ascended wouldn't have become Darkin therefore preventing the Darkin wars and so Azir would've taken over Runeterra for a period of time. If i remember correctly, eventually either the Freljord gods or Mordekaiser or someone else stops his advance.

@@DragonCaptain I really wish that happened...

They have one advantage: strategic brain power.

Play more video games.

Not trying to put down Riot or anything, but Blizzard's cinematics are way out of this world when compared to any of these. There's just no competition.

+Alvis Nguyen What in the actual fuck are you talking about bro? What makes her a fake ass copy?

+SydneyStreets aatrox puts his hand in her....

I think telling the lore through videos like these helps players get more of a feel of what the champion is like other than through gameplay. Personally i think this video made me a whole lot more interested in Azir. Idk how to describe it but Azir just looks and seems more epic after this video. And damn Shurima looks so awesome!

Xerath failed his ascencion

It was explained that in the Q&A that Xerath is actually a failed ascended, and that more of his lore would be revealed later. Hopefully, his in-depth retcon will make him out to be more than just a basic power hungry vilain...

In Azir case, he turned into bird, due to now Shurima (and Runeterra aswell) facing a new dire threat (Xerath and Renekton being released). For Xerath case, they weren't in danger at that time and thus the Ascension of his did not turn him into an animal like the other. This would've happen to Azir as well if he took it instead of Xerath.

Them 3 are animal 'cause they're from Egyptian Mythology, they're Anubis (Nasus), a Crocodile God that i can't remember what's his name (Renekton) and Ra (Azir, that is was he's the emperor). Xerath's just a complement, or maybe Riot was thinking about a powerful priest or mage, but I don't think so.

yo how have you been after 6 years

lmao

He got animated now

he always was a bird man. Same that Nasus and Renekton always were as they are. They are modeled after Egyptian gods, there never was a time "before he became a bird"

TheInferno3210 ..What? But when he was receiving the power he was human with a Jamaican hair...

TheInferno3210 ...Not sure if this is a troll, but I'll play along. All Ascended characters used to be regular humans (this includes Nasus and Renekton as of their lore change). If you look closely at from 2:00 until the ritual is done, he clearly has a human form (although it's shadowed for some weird reason).

TheInferno3210 Wrong. All were men in the new lore. Then when they ascended they gained animalistic attributes. Except Xerath who went into magus overdrive.

I'd imagine that's kinda like what she would look like in real life, just a little bit more muscular.

Its not Sivir tho, Its Azir who ascended for saving Sivir.

Nebi Mekonnen Gotta do it for the keedz. Having a crippling addiction to booze is cruel.

you know whats funny to me, my summoner name is shinanaghins and you have shenanigans in your name

hbarkus 'Tis a magical word in all manners of spelling, friend!

i would pay all the money for that

*throws money at screen* NOTHING IS HAPPENING

That would be awersome. But not just only for Shurima, Demacia, Noxus Etc etc all major city states could have a summoners rift.

if you want to modify your map you can go on yurixy works that's what i did and now my summoners' rift is has sunset beach theme i love it , so much sand

It'd be pretty sweet if every match had a random theme, but look at how long it's taking them to release the new map coming out (Though I'm pretty sure it's just gonna be at the change of seasons) I think if every time you play, the map generated was randomly one of five themed maps, that'd be badass. I have some specific ideas: Freljord theme (Lots of ice and poros! Just decoration of course), Demacia vs Noxus (I think this is what they tried to go for with the default?), Bandle City (Little yordle constructs in the jungle), Shadow Isles and Void (Basically just a creepy ass map like the Twisted Treeline), Piltover vs Zaun (With ridiculous machinery everywhere, with one side being steampunk and the other side being Zaun-ish evil science and such) This would be REALLY AMBITIOUS to say the least. Each map would have to 'work' in terms of abilities being easily seen and champs being differentiated etc., each jungle creep would have to be different aside from Dragon and Baron (Probably), they'd have to make the team colors Red v Blue regardless of theme and make it work to some degree, and every corner needs to look visibly accurate to where you can walk, while being identical to each other theme's paths. It'd be a crap ton of work but it'd look badass with a lot of payoff.

IKR!!!!!!!!! the nerve of riot!!!!!!!!!

"You think your daughter is safe (Sivir), I will find her, I WILL FIND HER!!" - Xerath

jeez, i just posted the exact same thing, before checking the comments XD

FIGHTIN AROUND THE WORLD

Sivir was gonna get Ascension, but it was a mistake, so the sun revived Azir and gifted him the power of ascension.

He will seek revenge against Xerath who already joined Fields of Justice.

Zeljko Nikolic Nah he will just sit with Xerath,and drink tea, LOL OFC he will beat the shit out of Xerath xD

you can say that about any game with a multiplayer by that logic -.-

You do realize that Riot stated that in the ACTUAL lore , the league doesn't exist right?

League of legends is a game which solves problems to avoid war is what i have heard. Example: 1 country wants to take over another instead of attacking that country they are going to the fields of justice.

To be fair the game already had lore, Riot just never decided to capitalize on it, and are scrapping it for different lore now

I'd honestly say League has surpassed the likes of Warcraft and Diablo franchises, and it's got a much bigger player base world wide than Starcraft or WoW. The latter 3 are all at the top of their respective genres, but I'd say overall League is actually at a higher height than anything Blizzard's released at this point.

Thejewishpeople gotta agree. wow is the pinnacle of mmo genres as is starcraft for the rts genre. and league sits ontop of its throne as the pinnacle of the moba genre. However its seat isnt as secured as wow's (whos only real competition is guild wars 2 but theyre not even close) or starcrafts as i believe dota 2 is a close 2nd. i dont mention diablo since i believe PoE (path of exile) surpassed it in terms of arpg.

Gamewise, I agree. Lorewise, WoW will be hard to beat cause they are doing some Tolkien level lore in there.

Thejewishpeople Not really. LoL hasn't become a religion to the Korean ppl like Starcraft is right now rofl.. And that won't really change anytime soon considering LoL is no where near Starcraft's mechanical skill and all that APM shenanigans which Koreans jizz all over for. On a serious note, Dota is at an odd competition with LoL, considering LoL playerbase is drastically larger than Dota, but at the same time drastically smaller with resources when it comes to the competitive scene. LoL: 8.5 millions players w/ a 2 million prizepool, Dota: Around 1.2 million players w/ an average of 12 million prizepool. Because of that, Dota is currently and has more potential to draw in more pro players and attention. So unless LoL somehow uses its larger player base to expand the competitive scene, its going to fall behind eventually.

Trust in my vision

you need not follow but you must witness

shurima lives in me

i will return shurima to greatness

The name Azir will once again crack the skies

How did I know I'd see this comment somewhere?

hes got it now lol

Stijn Broekhuis mean*

Look at all these chickens!

Idk if Azir would be available in URF unless they disabled half of his passive. Since there's 80% CDR in URF, and he and his soldiers gain attack speed with his CDR percentage, he'd be ridiculously op. I haven't played with him so idk if the soldier storage in his w decreases as it levels, but a base recharge of 11 seconds, activated soldiers lasting 9 seconds, and storing up to two seems pretty good already. Actually it seems like his entire kit is broken for URF.

DemonLord Odin lololol u make my day XD

DeviltoGeorgia34 But you gotta say it would be fun as hell if you wait with like 10 soldiers in a brush and some poor guy decides to walk nearby...

Sivir does have a Wonder Woman skin and so does Shen.

Greco Dagoy Wonder Woman Shen I think you should reword that.

***** the same reason i think of Ice climbers when i see either nunu or frostfire annie

Greco Dagoy Shen has a Wonder Woman skin?

***** I think that was intentional

:o i dont even play sivir but that'd be pretty cool

Sivir ultimate skin comfirmed.

yes please

Mashiro Shiina SAKURASOU NO PET KANOJOOOOOOOOOO

I hate to spoil the fun but it alreadt exists, its sivir the warrior princess...

Just like we saw more Freljord champions after Lissandras release?

I think it's pretty much the same with what they did with Freljord when they released Lissandra,so there'll most likely be more Shurima in the not-too-distant future

Nasus, Sivir and Azir

***** Kind of left out Renekton, Nasus' brother, along with Xerath, Rammus, and Skarner. Cassiopeia, Amumu, and Ezreal also have ties to Shurima in their lore, though they are not from the place.

Aiken Umholtz Dude I just fucking play the game, I don't read the books and their little bios xD

agreed!

agreed. a photobook explaining all the champions thus far and their stories connecting to each other would be great

The problem is that they might change the lore as they release new champions, just like they did with Azir.

Arghul The King Appearently you have never heard of EUW.....

Arghul The King That don't happen on EUW :'(

Arghul The King Then EUW should have 1000000 RP per player..

they gave you 400 free rp when you hit level 3. so there's your one time.

Get a job, hippie.

I stand with Shurima. I’m an Azir main

I agree *0*

Raymond Liu +1

the new jedi master

Maybe something happens the the next episode xD

DareSoldier600 There is no next episode. It clearly says *Part 2 of 2* if you have eyes.

Cuz he said that she betrayed him in one of his taunts. Sivir helped Cass although she didn't know what was happening.

DareSoldier600 part 2 of 2

Only when they are enemies on different sides. Btw, the taunts infer their relationship.

how weird lol I just rewatched that movie 2 days ago, spoiler the 2nd one scks!

***** Yay for Atlantis With Sand~

Narrator is actually Nasus (Curator of the Sands), an Ascended like Azir.

they kind of did the freljord already but i wanna see the shadow isles :D

sefeloth shadow isles are terrifying. If its undead, creepy or lucian then its from the shadow isles.

sefeloth Or bilgewater.

Aaron Mushinski i know! i love that stuff c:

The Gamer's Den that'd be pretty cool

human form.*

azir had dreads so is ... black

Azir was a human before he ascended, then what about nasus and renekton? they need a human skin too!

azir has the galactic skin just like nasus already, renekton y no have dis rito pls.

hcn15fin renekon has a galactic skin. which all three make me happy just because....stargate

Azir doesn't have anything to do with Demacia or Noxus lol.He only cares about Shurima.

He only cares of raising shurima from the sand and now of sivir as well. If any of the other factions pose a threat to that goal he will use deathly force but if they dont he will leave them alone.

Well atleast it is not like dota, the bloody creater of that world is fighting there, also there is a demon who is feared by other demons. That stuff is insane.

I think in the end the cinematic shows what Shurima used to be like before it got destroyed; so the image in the end looks like the memory or the dream of the emperor correct me if I'm wrong :)

wellcho0 actually good point...it looks much more sense rather then out of no where you got thousands of troops and bird guy turns to be greatest ruler...

Yes. Same with Xerath, but his ritual went a bit sour, hence the "giant ball of energy with coffin shards" look.

These "terrible lore changes" aren't really changes. Sivir mentions the trip to Shurima in her lore (with Cassiopea) and Renekton blames Nasus for being sealed in his lore. I can't think of any changes, they're just added to the current lore.

You also can't really say that yet as they announced the lore reboot just a few weeks before the Shurima role out. Plus Worlds is coming up. They'll announce where its going in the off season I'm sure. Just be patient.

Man, actually talking humanoid animals are pretty normal. They do not have to be humans.

agreed!

or animated series

animated series is better i don't know about a movie

An animated movie?

or at least a mini series of all the champs like a 15 minute video for every champ.

It takes way longer to make a new map than to make such a video (Although the difference is between: Tons of work and fucking lot of tons of work ^^). Also the Part of Riot's team who is in charge for the map(s) is currently working on the graphical update.

Boy you sure don't know how dev teams word, do you? Here's a hint: The team that does all these fancy animations isn't the same team that makes maps.

To make a map it would take them A LOT more time than to make the narration, besides the sands on dominion make it look like Shurima.... well sort of xD

I feel like you're all missing the fact that it's a bonus game mode. Why should ascension have a new map when none of the others do. Also why would they spend all that time on a mode that comes and goes with low frequency. The OP is just whiny and needs to grow up.

Make a new map for a gamemode that's probably only going to be around for a week? Seems like a waste of time to me.

I...don't think you understand what it means to actually redo an entire game map....

The map is done though, theyre just fixing bugs n' stuff so it works fine when its available . Probably coming after the Worlds so about november or december (preseason 5). BTW doing a whole map is a lot harder than those animations. Hope I helped.

I prefer the current map, new one looks bad

Dewillough ur mom looks bad

Drekenz We all look bad! D:

riot is not a poor little unexperienced company anymore. this is nothing special and they killed ALL THE LORE for this...still good?

Lukas M. To be serious, who really cares for the lore? It's nice to have and it's good that riot puts some effort into it, but it's not really nessecery besides to establish characters

Lukas M. What? Lets be honest, ever since the shutdown of JoJ the old lore was dead, if anything this is a good thing.

Totally agree you with you RandomTacklez , really looking forward to see what Rito has in store for us! Lukas M. They didn't kill all the lore just for this 2-part animation y'know?

They reshaped xeraths personality this is just as bad if not worse as what they did to viktor. Oh well atleast it took like 3 champs to bring xerath down.

trynda is in an animation

Yi is also in an animation...

>mundo >trynda >fiora >yi >OVER POWERED champions lol.

Yi too

***** yes.

LOL I also thought he was gonna be evil xD now I REALLY like him X3

Yea me too but the real evil dude is Xerath

Riot said that although he is a dictator, he is quite benevolant. His downfall was his Hubris (which he still has), but he wants nothing more than prosperity and greatness for his PEOPLE. His intentions are good hearted.

Andrew C Which is a shame because Xerath's old lore was actually interesting and somewhat unique.
