@@silas5086 Swain its my favorite champion on the region, I used to play him a lot back in S9 (I miss the ROA. I miss it a lot) and I actually didn't put him as an example becsuse my comlent was getting too big already, glad someone added him in the threat tho
I always like big ass empire with military focus, and emphasis on strength and power like Noxus. It feels poetic that something so seemingly flawed can stand for so long and be an ultimate threat, spoken in fear and respect.
From what i remember the faceless is the rogues guild of noxus as a whole, theyre the faceless cuz everyone within the clan represents it - they have no one leader. I think at meetings they would send a different member every time, hence faceless, no one face can represent them (Also if their face got out their power would dwindle since you know, rogues)
Swain is my favorite Noxian by far, he rose through the ranks off his own merit and willpower, he became crippled, dominated a demon through his own willpower, rose up AGAIN and overthrew the leader.
Hadn't see any of the prior videos but I've played the game for a long time and just now am realizing just how much champions from a shared nation are similar not only to the region's core but also each other, in terms gameplay patterns and ideals. Actually pretty cool, especially looking at Riven who has the mobility and flow of an Ionian but the brute strength and oppression of a Noxian.
A nation of badasses. A noxian enchanter would fear his enemies , get inside their heads and control their movements to their doom. He could also steal enemy buffs or stats and apply them to your team
There's a Hero in Overwatch called Moira and her design + kit is something I can definitely see as a "Noxian Enchanter": A healer that deals continuous damage to enemies by stealing their life essence to charge up her heals. And a morally ambiguous scientist as well.
hell yes noxus, swain, vlad, darius. are some of the champs that made me play the game and the filosfy is very motivationol. all heeel noxus, all heel the trifarix.
itd be cool to see a minivideo like this on halfa champions especially when they arent yordles Sona as a Demacian from Ionia, Karthus is a Shadow Isles ghost from Noxus, Kayn is an Ionian from Noxus, Caitlyn is a Piltovan from Ionia, Sett is an Ionian/Noxus actual half breed, Taric is a Targon aspect from Demacia, Cassiopia is a Noxian cursed in Shurima, Urgot is a Zaun experiment born from Noxus, Samira is a Noxian from Shurima, Xin is like triple having fought in Noxian arenas born in Ionia but allied with Demacia, and then the yordles of course itd be interesting if the little extra bits of lore reflect into gameplay
Obviously I’m simplifying. While Darius and The Faceless hold obvious power the interactions between Darius and Swain clearly show who’s holding the cards in the Empire
So a reverse enchanter support? That would actually be really cool. Maybe give them a sort of reverse spell sheild you throw on an enemy that blocks the next friendly ability they would recieve like a heal, or zilean speed boost
@@Yarharsuperpirate Or as it's R a type curse that reverses every buff they would get. Speed boosts slow instead, Damage decreases, Heals (including Lifesteal) becomes tick damage over time, shealds deal that amount true damage, resurrectings always kill you short after. (Kinda op though)
Demcia: Discrimination against mages Shurima: War of ascended brewing plus mummy Reksai children Targon:Climb mountain fail die Piltover& Zaun: Segregation of rich and poor Ionia: Whatever the hell their problem Gigachad Noxus: Prove yourself
@@kman511 well mostly I say the isolation of the region if found out there is a world out there beside Ixtal and they were lied too there will be mass hysteria
Here's some fun details! Rell defies Noxian design philosophy because she's rebelling against the nations rule. Riven has all the nations strengths and no weaknesses, which is a subtle reference to the fact that she has connections to Ionia.
Her gameplay kinda shows the noxian in her though. She's a very aggressive tank that has to deal damage to heal her allies. Her W only gives her move speed towards enemy champions. She only gets her Barrier shield after jumping in to the battle also slowing her down so you don't really use it to block pokes, she really has to fight.
The title sure fits Kled, the most Noxian champ of all Noxian champs. All land is his, he gets what he wants, and he's very aggressive when it comes to fighting. I'm so excited because of him lol
When you mentioned the three ruling parts of noxus, it made me remember that there are these cards in runeterra based on that; might, which has a statue of darius on it, vision, which has swain as the statue, and guile, which has leblanc representing it. Lor sometimes doesn't see eye to eye with lol lore sometimes, but it's clear she's involved somehow, she always is.
i mean, she does occasionaly send assasins after swain, but he just takes it as entertainment, thats why he leaves her be even though he knows everything
I'm so glad we got a Noxus episode quickly. These guys are by far my favorite region. Fantastic video but I would have liked to see more discussion about half Noxian champions like Kayn, Xin Zhao, and Sett and how the Noxian themes are explored there.
@@herbertn.oafallas3565 because they'll spend time on politic bs rather than facing the real problem and most of them sees Noxus bad dudes. Noxus has its flaws but compare to other countries Noxus is pretty efficient country when Swain took over.
10:33 i know it was talking about Noxian champs but as i was watching this part i just noticed that blue ranged unit not getting fear at all! I’m wondering if he’s a big fan of Darius or was much braver than other minions.
As a proud Swain main I’m quite excited for this video. My favorite, very edgy but surprisingly complicated region is finally getting some love (And yup, I’m as excited for the Swain mini-rework as everyone else is)
@@WildSquirtle2 he's about to get changed that basically change how he's played. He's going to be a drain tank more or less. I already know how to play the new Swain just because I played Swain so much (M7/850k).
tbh it looks like they are trying to move him to a more of a solo laner role with those buffs. now swain support doesnt really work if you cant hit your e and lets be realistic a swain support without his root is useless
A noxian enchanter would be really cool. Imagine something like a debuff where it does nothing when first applied, but requires you to deal a certain amount of damage in a time period or you get hit by a really bad damage debuff for an extended period of time or something. It fits the noxian “prove your worth” theme really well
One thing I thought of if we're designing a prove your worth themed enchanter is an enchanter that heals you for a flat amount then gives you grey health that scales based on how much damage you have dealt. If you don't deal any damage at all within the set time period, you dont get the bonus heal
You mentioned that Rell had the only team utility in Noxus, this is even more important as she is the rebellious teen of the reigon. She is almost Anti Noxus
I'm sorry but this title cracks me up, makes me think that if your champ isn't Noxian they aren't playing to win xD Edit: Old title was something like "Noxus: Where Champions Play to Win" or something like that
I'm a bit excited for the take on SI champions. One common theme I've noticed from them is them simply not letting you escape them in some way, whether it be chasing you down (Kalista, Hecarim, Viego), Locking you down (Maokai, Thresh, Yorick), or outright killing you when you thought you escaped (Karthus)
I think this points out something interesting about rell. She rebelled so her kit counters many noxian Champs with decent mobility as a tank huge cc and peel tools but still maintains the aggressive playstyle
Amazing video bro :D However, more than shelfish i would say noxian philosophy would be more about being independant (both in lore and in game, since for instance, what noxian empire values from the people is that they are independant enough to contribute at their way with the collective interests). Also, technically, mordekaiser isnt noxian, indeed is the main enemy of noxus xD mordekaiser was the creator of the inmortal bastion, also he was the former boss of leblanc in the past, and he even captured spiritual entities as Veigar or Raum, the demon of secrets that for now is under swain's commands to make himself stronger. Leblanc betrayed him and now he is in the infraworld waiting to come back, and from that day, noxus was born. To make you figure it, if noxus was in transformers universe, swain and leblanc would be something like optimus prime and megatron.. and then we have mordekaiser, who would be unicron :p
Noxus go in sooo hard on this right here, straight up BANGER! He aint like all them oppas who just be usin that AUTHENTICVIEWS jawnt to glow up like SLim Jesus dun did
Okay, since when was Mordekaiser and Elise classified as Noxus based champs? Last I recalled, they were Shadow Isles since Morde's an undead revenant in a massive suit of armor and Elise is a cult leader and head priestess. Confusion aside, Noxus definitely have a lot of "I will pummel you and you'll like it" champions.
Elise is (or was anyway considering how she is now) a noblewoman of Noxus. Mordekaiser's the weird thing that the Black Rose has locked up in their basement
Elise is a noble of noxus and while she is a faithfull of vilemaw she is most of the time noxian, mordekaiser on the other hand founded noxus and is sealed in the immortal bastion by the noxians too that opose him
@@gelidus3828 Yeah, Elise follows a similar fashion to Vladimir, as both are aristocrats with a lot of influence on Noxus society as well as being the masters of their respective cults. Regarding Mordekaiser, I think that he is not currently (not physically at least) on the Immortal Bastion, but Swain has voice lines about visions of a being followed by an army of souls that can conquer the whole of Runaterra. It also seems that the Black Rose knows about this, as they have tried and somewhat accomplished with Rell to create a countermeasure against Morde, not without taking it's price in blood from the subjects of their experiments, which has led to Rell seeking revenge against them.
Personally I don’t mind these characters being so heavily aggressive. Some characters are a balance of offense and defense. Some are very defensive like shen or galio. The game needs the noxians. Blitzcrank just needs a hook to do his job no matter if he goes 0/12/4. True to their design, you can never count out a noxian
@@moremoneyplease6838 nah i didn't, i was just pointing out that blitzcrank wasn't a good example noxian straightforwardness because he isn't noxian in the first place
A fed Kled facetanked my Miss Fortune ultimate and lived. I have never seen anyone survive it. I was baffled. It took three of us to kill him. Also for someone as squishy as Katarina she feels like a raid boss to take down when played by a main.
I feel like noxian champs are fine. They have clear weaknesses you can exploit most of the time. The issue is when you need to rely on your team for help. LoL, for a team game, requires you to play for yourself in ranked until you hit ranks like plat or diamond
The new Swain rework makes it so that Swain cannot use the CC of allies to pull opponents, he can only pull those who have been hit by his returning E. Hence, even that little semblance of team help he needed is now gone.
Renata Glasc’s kit and personality would be PERFECT for a Noxian enchanter. She’s manipulative and opportunistic which would allow her to thrive in Noxus, lore-wise. Her usage of toxins to revive allies and make enemies fight each other, would make sense given that Noxus has a lot of mages. And specifically for her revive, Noxus is confirmed to have mages who revive the dead (thanks to Sion’s followers in Legends of Runeterra). I think it would be hard to design a Noxian enchanter who can stand apart from Renata Glasc.
Her revive could even be reflavoured as she being from the grey legion, Noxus' necromancers that use Vladimir's hemomancy to reanimate corpses like Sion.
Sion is my favorite tank to play for that specific reason. He doesn't feel forced into the same hole as every other tank. You need a full CC tank who can crush teamfights, you got it. But do you need a splipush champ who can take turrets. You got that too. You need more damage so he goes a juggernaut build and becomes terrifying to 1 vs 1. You got it. He can do alot where most full tanks can only do 1 thing.
@@Betroid isn’t that most assassins? That’s kassadin right there but instead of the snowballing he just has to get lvls Kay is more gold depend and kass is lvls there really isn’t much of a difference between them but kassadin has mana and actual cds until lvl ong higher and getting AH
I like that all Noxian champions (with the exception of mages Vladimir, Cassiopeia and somehow Swain) are extremely strong in the early game. Their offensive game style is introduced not only by unstoppable snowball but also with the tools to snowball by killing your opponent by level 2 or 3. Le Blanc, Kled, Katarina, Talon, Darius, Draven, Elise, even Rell - they are demonically powerful from the very beginning, which means players HAVE TO play aggressively to win the game (exactly what Vars says). Can't say that I like playing as or against Noxians, but I truly appreciate this similarity in their design.
I feel like the exceptions are more true especially since the removal of RoA. As Swain I would harass people until I got it, then instantly became a full blown battlemage
disagree with the point of selfish, least not entire agree to it Yes they are very lack of cc, lack of jungle option, meaning lack of picks, prios, and macros and objective controls. which ironically makes Sion the zombie, the slave to be the must pick during my globetrotter challenge grind, quite Noxus... But Noxus champs are actually very warlord, battle or bloodthirsty, their champs all excile on 1v2 or large scale skirmishes, even they lack of cc....due to their champs have strength on durability, lifesteal or region, and most importantly large scale AOEs, very battle themed abilities due to that nature, I wouldnt call them selfish entire, but I do get your point of them being selfish cause their abilities are all very self centered. If comparing Demacia army to Noxus, Demacia is more baout wombocombo, work together, Noxus is all about stat check and all in, very brutal and rush in. (I would call void the most selfish region, it was a hard time during the grind, due to their theme and abilities are full of consume and scale, they got ZERO early game and control and prio which makes Malz a must pick and Kass should always be avoided)
my experience during the grind, simliar to Demacia Galio is a must have, a good jungler to Noxus( they also lack of options) is also a must have, due to the region almost must require a flat and solid early game, if they cannot stat check you, the mid game will be very hard.
Noxus is 100% out for themselves, but also they are shockingly noble in their twisted way. Because part of Noxus' goal is to prepare and stop Mordekaiser they are willing to conquer or invite anyone who has the skills and abilities they need for the upcoming war. If you are capable you are welcome in Noxus. This does lead to terrible things for anyone who doesn't fit this idea, but its still neat. Most war-focused fantasy nations would just steamroll any outsiders and be all about their inherent superiority *cough demacia cough*, but Noxus incorporates other nations because they want to be the best and they acknowledge other places have done things better.
Can't talk about Noxian concepts/ideology without bringing up Urgot, especially considering he is a Noxian. When you play him you basically listen to him speak the Noxian Gospel all game.
Do Targon next, I'm thinking it could be interesting, they're all about the elusiveness and variety of the stars, and yet its home to many of the game's most straightforward champions. (ex pantheon, leona, diana). We would really like an explanation of how that is translated in the rift!
If you think about it, Noxians help the team by not helping you kill the enemy. Rather they do it themselves. Like their kits are meant to do be self sufficient. For example, Katarina can TP and absolutely kill a team in 0.5 seconds. Trust me I main her.
I think attitude wise the closest champ we have to a Noxian enchanter would be Renata. She definately has a very selfish persona, everything she does has to make profit and be about herself if that makes sense. If her kit was more like Pyke's, with zero ally utility and all damage and self utility, she would deffo fit the Noxian vibe.

It feels poetic that something so seemingly flawed can stand for so long and be an ultimate threat, spoken in fear and respect.
From what i remember the faceless is the rogues guild of noxus as a whole, theyre the faceless cuz everyone within the clan represents it - they have no one leader.
I think at meetings they would send a different member every time, hence faceless, no one face can represent them (Also if their face got out their power would dwindle since you know, rogues)
Swain is my favorite Noxian by far, he rose through the ranks off his own merit and willpower, he became crippled, dominated a demon through his own willpower, rose up AGAIN and overthrew the leader.
Wait what?? He made a demon his bitch through willpower?! That’s hardcore!

Hadn't see any of the prior videos but I've played the game for a long time and just now am realizing just how much champions from a shared nation are similar not only to the region's core but also each other, in terms gameplay patterns and ideals. Actually pretty cool, especially looking at Riven who has the mobility and flow of an Ionian but the brute strength and oppression of a Noxian.
A nation of badasses.
A noxian enchanter would fear his enemies , get inside their heads and control their movements to their doom. He could also steal enemy buffs or stats and apply them to your team
YEEAAAHH!
Best series and I'm a Swain Main.
High five bro!
Selfish? Listen to me olive oil, I was out looking for the little girl every single day!
loved the editing this video, I like the roses turning into champs
There's a Hero in Overwatch called Moira and her design + kit is something I can definitely see as a "Noxian Enchanter": A healer that deals continuous damage to enemies by stealing their life essence to charge up her heals. And a morally ambiguous scientist as well.
Bad or not, Noxus is definitely the most badass out all of them

Rell defies Noxian design philosophy because she's rebelling against the nations rule.
Riven has all the nations strengths and no weaknesses, which is a subtle reference to the fact that she has connections to Ionia.
Her attack range and ability ranges are short
@@dominicguye8058 she has more than enough mobility to make up for it
It's funny how she takes about fighting alone and barely trusting anyone and yet she relies teammates the most
Her gameplay kinda shows the noxian in her though. She's a very aggressive tank that has to deal damage to heal her allies. Her W only gives her move speed towards enemy champions. She only gets her Barrier shield after jumping in to the battle also slowing her down so you don't really use it to block pokes, she really has to fight.
@@Spellbook if only she was a good champion, she'll get a rework in a few years and maybe she'll be a real girl.
The title sure fits Kled, the most Noxian champ of all Noxian champs. All land is his, he gets what he wants, and he's very aggressive when it comes to fighting. I'm so excited because of him lol

Jericho Swain is such a fantastic name. Always loved his character, too. Noxian through and through.
When you mentioned the three ruling parts of noxus, it made me remember that there are these cards in runeterra based on that; might, which has a statue of darius on it, vision, which has swain as the statue, and guile, which has leblanc representing it. Lor sometimes doesn't see eye to eye with lol lore sometimes, but it's clear she's involved somehow, she always is.
Regarding that card, it was confirmed that there was a miscommunication between the different departments, and her being the statue is a mistake.

Isn't the leader representing guile Vlad?
I'm so glad we got a Noxus episode quickly. These guys are by far my favorite region. Fantastic video but I would have liked to see more discussion about half Noxian champions like Kayn, Xin Zhao, and Sett and how the Noxian themes are explored there.

A noxian enchanter would be really cool.
Imagine something like a debuff where it does nothing when first applied, but requires you to deal a certain amount of damage in a time period or you get hit by a really bad damage debuff for an extended period of time or something. It fits the noxian “prove your worth” theme really well
One thing I thought of if we're designing a prove your worth themed enchanter is an enchanter that heals you for a flat amount then gives you grey health that scales based on how much damage you have dealt. If you don't deal any damage at all within the set time period, you dont get the bonus heal
@@lester4532 that’s a really cool idea for a noxian enchanter as well.

* Darius places a ward *
"There! Don't say I'm not a team player."
Can't wait ! I've been looking forward to noxian champs ever since you started this series
I'm a bit excited for the take on SI champions. One common theme I've noticed from them is them simply not letting you escape them in some way, whether it be chasing you down (Kalista, Hecarim, Viego), Locking you down (Maokai, Thresh, Yorick), or outright killing you when you thought you escaped (Karthus)
The land where every single champion is based:
I just can't hate Noxus bro
Its half and half for me, i love some like Darius, Elise, Cassiopeia, Talon, Rell but i can't stand others like Draven, Mordekaiser or Katarina
the feeling using noxians to deafeat ionians :
I used the stones to destroy the stones
I think this points out something interesting about rell. She rebelled so her kit counters many noxian Champs with decent mobility as a tank huge cc and peel tools but still maintains the aggressive playstyle
Right that makes sense for her thematic
Amazing video bro :D
However, more than shelfish i would say noxian philosophy would be more about being independant (both in lore and in game, since for instance, what noxian empire values from the people is that they are independant enough to contribute at their way with the collective interests).
Also, technically, mordekaiser isnt noxian, indeed is the main enemy of noxus xD
mordekaiser was the creator of the inmortal bastion, also he was the former boss of leblanc in the past, and he even captured spiritual entities as Veigar or Raum, the demon of secrets that for now is under swain's commands to make himself stronger.
Leblanc betrayed him and now he is in the infraworld waiting to come back, and from that day, noxus was born.
To make you figure it, if noxus was in transformers universe, swain and leblanc would be something like optimus prime and megatron.. and then we have mordekaiser, who would be unicron :p
Noxus go in sooo hard on this right here, straight up BANGER! He aint like all them oppas who just be usin that AUTHENTICVIEWS jawnt to glow up like SLim Jesus dun did
Im impressed HOW in depth the games design is with their factions, woulda never noticed the small details like you, and i thank you for it
irellia needs "time" to stack her passive . Never laugh so hard in my entire life
A 6-0 darius will still get gunned down in the streets by A 9-0 caitlyn with a janna next to her
Okay, since when was Mordekaiser and Elise classified as Noxus based champs? Last I recalled, they were Shadow Isles since Morde's an undead revenant in a massive suit of armor and Elise is a cult leader and head priestess.
Confusion aside, Noxus definitely have a lot of "I will pummel you and you'll like it" champions.
Elise is (or was anyway considering how she is now) a noblewoman of Noxus. Mordekaiser's the weird thing that the Black Rose has locked up in their basement
Elise is a noble of noxus and while she is a faithfull of vilemaw she is most of the time noxian, mordekaiser on the other hand founded noxus and is sealed in the immortal bastion by the noxians too that opose him
@@gelidus3828 Yeah, Elise follows a similar fashion to Vladimir, as both are aristocrats with a lot of influence on Noxus society as well as being the masters of their respective cults.
Regarding Mordekaiser, I think that he is not currently (not physically at least) on the Immortal Bastion, but Swain has voice lines about visions of a being followed by an army of souls that can conquer the whole of Runaterra. It also seems that the Black Rose knows about this, as they have tried and somewhat accomplished with Rell to create a countermeasure against Morde, not without taking it's price in blood from the subjects of their experiments, which has led to Rell seeking revenge against them.
Swain is selfless, he could play mid, but he play bot because he like to have 2x chances of cc in lane.
Personally I don’t mind these characters being so heavily aggressive. Some characters are a balance of offense and defense. Some are very defensive like shen or galio. The game needs the noxians. Blitzcrank just needs a hook to do his job no matter if he goes 0/12/4. True to their design, you can never count out a noxian
blitzcrank isnt noxian though?
@@marlbororainbow4240 you missed the point dude
@@moremoneyplease6838 nah i didn't, i was just pointing out that blitzcrank wasn't a good example noxian straightforwardness because he isn't noxian in the first place
You did NOT just give Swain the Renata treatment in your thumbnail... his special arm is his left one. Come on.
A fed Kled facetanked my Miss Fortune ultimate and lived. I have never seen anyone survive it. I was baffled. It took three of us to kill him. Also for someone as squishy as Katarina she feels like a raid boss to take down when played by a main.
Riot nerfed amor kled so hes easier to kill now.
I feel like noxian champs are fine. They have clear weaknesses you can exploit most of the time. The issue is when you need to rely on your team for help. LoL, for a team game, requires you to play for yourself in ranked until you hit ranks like plat or diamond
I am so excited for Swain rework!
Interesting parallel to sions damaging shield in Ivern, who was a noxian general.
Noxus, Demacia and Piltover are by far my favorite regions, i'm loving these videos can't wait for more

10:43 "Facing them alone is almost suicide" Mordekaiser R 🤡
Mordekaiser is noxus
@@lmaoquan9534 ik thats half the point
My highest mastery on a Noxian champ is Draven at 14k. Guess that says a lot about me as a player if the title is true.
I would imagine a noxian enchanter would steal stats from the enemy and give them to an ally or lifesteal but it gives the hp to an ally instead.
The new Swain rework makes it so that Swain cannot use the CC of allies to pull opponents, he can only pull those who have been hit by his returning E. Hence, even that little semblance of team help he needed is now gone.
He still puts a bunch of pressure on the map with his W, which quite often is a deciding factor for winning the fight for your team.
Kled is not selfish.
His ulti brings friends to punch people, so kind
Noxus>Demacia
Renata Glasc’s kit and personality would be PERFECT for a Noxian enchanter.
She’s manipulative and opportunistic which would allow her to thrive in Noxus, lore-wise.
Her usage of toxins to revive allies and make enemies fight each other, would make sense given that Noxus has a lot of mages. And specifically for her revive, Noxus is confirmed to have mages who revive the dead (thanks to Sion’s followers in Legends of Runeterra).
I think it would be hard to design a Noxian enchanter who can stand apart from Renata Glasc.
If Renata Glasc had blood magic instead of chemtech.
Don't think Demacia's genocide of mages makes them a "peaceful" society really xD
Renata feels similar to what a noxian enchanter would be
Her revive could even be reflavoured as she being from the grey legion, Noxus' necromancers that use Vladimir's hemomancy to reanimate corpses like Sion.
You meant the land of the insanity
Insanity? Noxus just knows what it wants and it does not care about your moral standards if they do not align.
Dude what an awesome video. I really love how you shed light on Noxus being a land of opportunity despite how cruel it looks. Great job!
8:36 Swain passive, Kled ult is team based utility
Sion is my favorite tank to play for that specific reason. He doesn't feel forced into the same hole as every other tank. You need a full CC tank who can crush teamfights, you got it. But do you need a splipush champ who can take turrets. You got that too. You need more damage so he goes a juggernaut build and becomes terrifying to 1 vs 1. You got it. He can do alot where most full tanks can only do 1 thing.
It's not selfish if you win 1v9, you give free LP to your coattail passengers. Hehe hehehehe!
I love how the swain mini-rework help embody noxus more
I mean, demacia is nazi germany just shiny, so apart from void i font feel like any region should be counted as an antagonistic region.
My mind: Noxus doesn't have a support champion.
Riot: Here's Rell
Me: Oh no... Anyways.
Swain is played suport quite a lot
By my logic, ANYTHING with a hard CC can be played Support, and the easier to land, the better.
@@TheTruestZero anything with cc, poke or enchanters.

Oh this is probably why Noxus is among my top 3 regions from Runeterra alongside Targon and Shurima, bastards are selfish in game and lorewise.
I like that all Noxian champions (with the exception of mages Vladimir, Cassiopeia and somehow Swain) are extremely strong in the early game. Their offensive game style is introduced not only by unstoppable snowball but also with the tools to snowball by killing your opponent by level 2 or 3. Le Blanc, Kled, Katarina, Talon, Darius, Draven, Elise, even Rell - they are demonically powerful from the very beginning, which means players HAVE TO play aggressively to win the game (exactly what Vars says).
Can't say that I like playing as or against Noxians, but I truly appreciate this similarity in their design.
I feel like the exceptions are more true especially since the removal of RoA. As Swain I would harass people until I got it, then instantly became a full blown battlemage
Katarinas early game is actually really weak unless you get a kill in a skirmish and get resets
disagree with the point of selfish, least not entire agree to it
Yes they are very lack of cc, lack of jungle option, meaning lack of picks, prios, and macros and objective controls. which ironically makes Sion the zombie, the slave to be the must pick during my globetrotter challenge grind, quite Noxus...
But Noxus champs are actually very warlord, battle or bloodthirsty, their champs all excile on 1v2 or large scale skirmishes, even they lack of cc....due to their champs have strength on durability, lifesteal or region, and most importantly large scale AOEs, very battle themed abilities
due to that nature, I wouldnt call them selfish entire, but I do get your point of them being selfish cause their abilities are all very self centered.
If comparing Demacia army to Noxus, Demacia is more baout wombocombo, work together, Noxus is all about stat check and all in, very brutal and rush in.
(I would call void the most selfish region, it was a hard time during the grind, due to their theme and abilities are full of consume and scale, they got ZERO early game and control and prio which makes Malz a must pick and Kass should always be avoided)
my experience during the grind, simliar to Demacia Galio is a must have, a good jungler to Noxus( they also lack of options) is also a must have, due to the region almost must require a flat and solid early game, if they cannot stat check you, the mid game will be very hard.
Noxus is 100% out for themselves, but also they are shockingly noble in their twisted way. Because part of Noxus' goal is to prepare and stop Mordekaiser they are willing to conquer or invite anyone who has the skills and abilities they need for the upcoming war. If you are capable you are welcome in Noxus. This does lead to terrible things for anyone who doesn't fit this idea, but its still neat. Most war-focused fantasy nations would just steamroll any outsiders and be all about their inherent superiority *cough demacia cough*, but Noxus incorporates other nations because they want to be the best and they acknowledge other places have done things better.
I think it would be interesting to hear about the nation of survival, Freljord next
Swain selfish? Nonsense, He's daddy material and we all know it ;)
Can't talk about Noxian concepts/ideology without bringing up Urgot, especially considering he is a Noxian.
When you play him you basically listen to him speak the Noxian Gospel all game.
Do Targon next, I'm thinking it could be interesting, they're all about the elusiveness and variety of the stars, and yet its home to many of the game's most straightforward champions. (ex pantheon, leona, diana). We would really like an explanation of how that is translated in the rift!
If you think about it, Noxians help the team by not helping you kill the enemy. Rather they do it themselves. Like their kits are meant to do be self sufficient. For example, Katarina can TP and absolutely kill a team in 0.5 seconds. Trust me I main her.
I think attitude wise the closest champ we have to a Noxian enchanter would be Renata. She definately has a very selfish persona, everything she does has to make profit and be about herself if that makes sense. If her kit was more like Pyke's, with zero ally utility and all damage and self utility, she would deffo fit the Noxian vibe.
