Some lore if you're curious: Theater: the masked character is Jhin, he's a legendary serial killer who treats his killings as art. His "performances" have been causing trouble for a powerful merchant family in the city of Piltover, so they send their enforcer Camille to apprehend him. However, Jhin anticipated Camille was coming, so he laid out a trap in advance. The story is explored more in the Zed comic. Arena: The character in the stands is Draven, he runs most of the fight pits in the Noxian Empire. He's overseeing a fight involving another character, Riven, who had betrayed Noxus after witnessing them unleash chemical weapons. Riven intrigues him, so he throws her runic blade down into the arena and faces her himself. The setup for this story occurred in the Sisterhood of War trilogy of short stories. Village: The character with the knives is Irelia, she was a resistance leader and figurehead in the previous Noxian invasion of Ionia. She's defending this village from a returning Noxian army, but is overpowered by their undead general, Sion. At the last moment, Irelia is saved by Karma, Ionia's spiritual leader. Also arriving are several other notable Ionians, including Akali, an assassin, Yasuo, a disgraced swordsman, and Kennen, a prominent figure in the Kinkou Order. They successfully rally the villagers and manage to push back Sion's army. The events leading up to this story are unknown, but it's likely they will be explored following the release of the spinoff game "Ruined King: A League of Legends Story."
Thanks for all the background character info! And Jhin looks like a serial killer that would consider it “performance art” 😡 out of all the characters, he had such a creepy vibe to him 🙈
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames There's a reason why Jhin is one of the game's most popular champions. No champion in the game has quite nailed their lore, cinematics, AND gameplay the way he has. I play him fairly regularly and even his quotes send chills up my spine: "I never hurt anyone... It's the performance that kills." Damn, that's a quote...
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I think the creepiest part about him is: you dont know what he looks like. He always wears a mask and we've been told that he might look very average and normal, which kinda of reflects real life killers.. its crazy.
Riot's animation teams very much understand the phrase 'every frame a painting.' Plus their ability to cram an amazing amount of storytelling into very brief time frame.
What other games do they make besides LoL. We are going to react to warriors next week but if there are other franchises with cool trailers we’d be down to add them to our list if they haven’t already been suggested 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames They don't have any other games that have a lot of cinematics. But they do have quite a few music videos and trailers. I'm a big fan of K\DA's videos. In particular: The Baddest, I'll Show You, Popstars, More, and Villain (in order of least to most impressive animation, but not release order). They also have Drum Go Dum, but that's more of a dance video and not an animation.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Riot has some animations from other games like Valorant and Legends of Runeterra (LOR shares the same IP with League though)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I'd suggest checking out Blizzard's trailers specifically their World of Warcraft and Starcraft, as them and Riot are the best videogame creators with amazing trailers.
riot doesnt do their own cinematics, they dont have an in game animation team. all of their cinematics, this included, was made by digic pictures, they also made a lot of other cinematics for other games. and the more 2d looking ones was made by fortiche productions. the only game developer i know that has an in house cinematic department is blizzard
Ok, so this one is going to be long. Anyways the man at the piano is named Jhin. He’s a murderer that believes killing is an art. The girl that as metal legs is named Camille. When Jhin started shooting at Camille he was intentionally missing because he was guiding her to where he wanted her to be killed. This observation was not mine, I read it in the comments of the original video. Just wanted to let you guys know.
A fun and awesome fact about the big dude with an axe. His name is Sion, he's basically an undead Juggernaut. In the last battle he fought as a human, he lead an army against a Demacian army which is lead by it's king Jarvan the I. While both armies were retreating, he got so mad at the fact he didn't get to kill the king that he straight up turned back and chase the king's army alone, the dude is such a god damn UNIT that he literally plowed through Jarvan the I's army, tanking HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of cuts and slashes. But despite all of that he still had enough strength to not only reach the king, but also proceeds to ripped off the crown and choke the king to death WITH ONE HAND. If you guys look at him again, you'll notice that he has a metal object attached to his bottom jaw. That metal object is in fact the crown that he ripped off from the head of King Jarvan the I. He is my favourite character in all of League. If this doesn't make people think he's a badass, I don't know what will!
I can't stop smiling when I watch these cinematics, seeing my favourite characters do their thing is just amazing. The game on the other hand, makes me wanna cry sometimes.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I should note - there is two called “warriors” from Riot - the 2014 one they did a collab with imagine dragons, and is more of a music video, where as Warriors 2020 is more of a cinematic style with music, like this one was
Bethany @ 4:01 : "Awww" Kennen (little purple charachter) : "Lemme just light this up real quick" Just letting you guys know, that is/was everyone's first reaction to Kennen. Mine as well. That scene is what made me want to play him in game. And it is now my favorite 5 seconds of any trailer they (LoL) have.
Haha. Might be too long for us to keep up our energy and enthusiasm, but longer compilations like 20-40 minutes aren’t out of question. Warriors is next stop on our journey 😃
the guy with the mask hid the gun behind his back , in the movie you see he shot 3 times and kept the fourth one because in the game and story , the fourth ammo is the most powerful shot of all .
Inside the universe, genders have not diference of strenght. Also there no have nothing about talking that. Thats why its so incredible. Im always watch and always i get emocioned about it.
The Ending Encounter at the End in the Theater was between Jhin (the phantom of the opera like guy) and Camille (Cyborg with scissor feet).The thing with Jhin is everything is a performance and at the end when he bows it is because it was actually the finale (Jhins mechanic in game is he has 4 shots) and when he bowed he had only used 3 of the 4. So it is hinted that Luring Camille in at the end was the finale with the 4th shot.
Fun fact: Jhin has 4 shots in his gun. this are 4 because Jhin has also 4 letters. If you look precise you see in the trailer he shots 3 times, and bows to camille with the last shot in his gun. Man this dude is a genius in some kind. I always get goosebumps in this scene, because for him its like the "final" of his "show". His Charackter is scaring and poetic at the same time thats what I like most about him. He is a serial killer yeah but damn this dude has some deep quotes ingame! He is like Goethe or Schiller as seriel killer! I Enjoy your reactions quite much because your talk afterwards! Keep on the good work guys :)
So glad to find your channel just as you're starting your journey with LoL reactions! I've been invested in the game for a decade and it never gets old experiencing it all vicariously through fresh eyes
Welcome! 🥳🥳 so glad the league of legends community has been enjoying our first dive into the series and joining our little community. Warriors will be next stop on our LoL journey ☺️
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes! League has such a vast universe to explore, and Riot Games sure do a great job expanding it and creating trailers, MV's and a lot of other things for it. I strongly recommend you the MV's, the music Riot produces is simply amazing, and also they don't have copyright! And a great time coming into the League universe, as they just confirmed today that Arcane, the first ever League show, is coming to Netflix, this Fall!
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Not only, there's even the video with the interactions with other characters: ruclips.net/video/1AIQXqTHWmA/видео.html&t. He's special cause not only he knows everybody's fears, but when he kills someone he remembers (and say) their last words. It's so cool! To watch! (P.S.: keep up the great work, love you guys!)
I absolutely love the man in the mask Jhin I play him a ton in the game. I would recommend checking out some of his quotes the voice actor did an absolutely fantastic job delivering his lines. You get a great look into his twisted mind. In some he almost shows remorse "I swear each performance will be the last, but I lie every time" in others his obsessive nature "perfection isnt good enough" others are simple but the delivery gives them such impact " when they find you they will cry" you can tell he knows what he is doing is wrong to a degree he just thinks that "art is worth the pain". "The trigger on a loaded weapon... it whispers for us to act." -why his gun's name is whisper.
Have heard Jhin is fascinating character! Another mine someone said of his WS something like ‘I don’t kill people, it’s the performance that does’ not exact quote but it was along those lines . Looking forward to seeing more of him 😎
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Unfortunately as of now this is the only cinematic he is in. Cant complain too much because he was the major antagonist in one of the short comic series (zed) and got his own short story.
a touch of lore the comments didn't mention, Sion's lower jaw is the crown of King Jarvan III, his son and successor Jarvan IV is a playable character in league. The little "Pikachu" dude is Kennen, he's a Yordle, just like Tristana/Corki/Lulu/Teemo from the video you watched where they get captured by Graves. Also, if you want to play some league I can teach you, I've been playing it for what feels like an eternity.
The part where the pianist was playing and start to blast all with his traps and the female with white hair start jumping around he fire 3 shots, his character has a weapon that can have up to 4 bullets and the 4° one is always the strongest , so that's why he do a little bow as to praise camille for playing her role in his hands before he shots her
What I always find odd is, while, yes, Jhin does only fire 3 shots on screen, his motion seems to imply, that he fired his first shot offscreen, otherwise I would find it odd why he would do the lever action spin with Whisper (3:43) before even having fired a single shot. It would make more sense, if he had his last round in the chamber when he bows, but from the animation, it just doesn't look like that's the case to me.
@@remor698 Toying with his next 'masterpiece' maybe? Giving her hope for that fleeting moment before he fires...kinda like when someone thinks they're out of his ultimate's range and BAM! (I play alot of Jhin, lol)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I'm guessing you didn't understand it? Jhin is a maskman with a gun with only 4 bullets, 4th bullet deals more damage/crit. He's also a perfectionist (lore) who does everything with style. Hence the bowdown while pointing his gun( on his shoulder) directly towards Camille.
Oh nice. No we did not know that but love learning all this stuff out. At first character seemed out of place but knowing more of backstory makes him bad ass 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames he is also a serial killer obsessed with the number , while Camille (the cyborg lady) is like a 60 year old women who is an agent who makes sure the city runs smoothly
The MOOOOOOOOOOOOST exciting thing in this video for me is that the masked shooter you see in the teather (Jhin), has an OCD for the number 4 in everything. His gun can only shoot 4 times before reloading, AND his 4th bullet is way more deadly than the rest. The thing is that in this video, if you count, he only shot 3 times, and when he bowed to the girl with the Blade Legs (Camile) he hid his gun in his back holding the 4th bullet. Meaning something will DEFINITELY Happen there
Happy days, some more reactors, who get to watch the glory of the world of Runeterra in action. Don't mind me, while I quickly try to summarize who all of the legends, that appear in this one, are. In order of appearance, we have: Jhin, the Virtuoso (my personal favorite of the bunch, even though they're all amazing): A masked, psycopathic serial killer, who believes his murder to be a form of art, using exceptionally powerful hextech (magic technology) weaponry to make the final moment of his victims as beautiful as he can imagine and he can imagine a lot, considering his uncanny ability to legitimately set up an entire murderous performance for each of his murders. Also, has an obsession with the number 4 for some reason, hence why literally every piece of his gear has something 4 related to it (traps explode after 4 seconds, gun has 4 shots and the 4th is most powerful, has a shoulder-mounted grenade launcher, the projectile of which bounces 4 times before exploding). In fact, there is soo much 4 related stuff to him, that it would be too much to list here, so moving on... Draven, the Glorious Executioner (the madlad with the knack for spinny stuff): King of the fight pits, he wields a pair of spinning, double-bladed "axes" (look more like beefy swords to me, but I won't argue with him about it) and is outright addicted to the spectacle of a good fight and having the cheering crowd echo his name around the arena. Perhaps a little overconfident, but the man has the skill to be just that arrogant. Irelia, the Blade Dancer: The leader of the resistance against that massive army, she is fighting against in her part of the cinematic. Though she apparently got her position less on the basis of leadership skill and more due to the fact, that she was one of the few really skillful people, who would actively take a stand against the invaders and not just sit by to let nature take its course (in her land, many believe, that nature will find its balance on its own and deemed interfering with a nation's worth of soldiers coming in to wreck everything in sight, to be going against nature). Camille, the Steel Shadow (the authoratative lady with the blade legs): Leader of what is effectively a private police force, operating in a not quite legal fashion. Yet another perfectionist, she just went ahead and got herself augmented big time to maintain whatever sort of order she deems correct with as precise and efficient a use of force as possible. Though it may now also be debatable, if she is even human anymore or just a cold machine. Riven, the Exile (the chained up brawler lady): The result of what happens, when you have an ambitious soldier rise up through the ranks and then send them to tear up an entirely peaceful nation, which barely even fights back, even when provoked. Of course, she abandoned that army and is now more or less on her own with only that broken runic sword of hers to remind her of the past, she has to reforge. Though, she now has quite a bit more to boot than just the skills worthy of a general and a busted sword (which can reform itself into its complete form magically and is actually more used like a medium weighted short sword rather than a beefy greatsword), as she has picked up some ki related abilities on her journey to redemption. Sion, the Undead Juggernaut (the humanoid bulldozer with a furnace stomach): A war hero so mighty, the higher ups of his army decided to make him serve even after his death, though now considerably less human and more a weaponized brute, a machine of war, which runs on the souls of friends and foe alike. Karma, the Enlightened One (shielding lady with the jade crystals floating behind her): An ancient soul, reincarnated countless times across the ages. She seeks to bring harmony and balance to her people and give guidance wherever possible, though she knows that peace is a costly endeavor. Akali, the Rogue Assassin (masked ninja lady, wielding dagger, kama and smoke bombs): Formerly trained by an order of ninja-style warriors, who uphold balance, she has abandoned them to use her training against an obviously malicious and destructive foe, when they thought it best to let nature balance itself out. Yasuo, the Unforgiven (the samurai with the gigantic bun): Tragic backstory is tragic, this guy was falsely accused of murder and found himself forced to subsequently kill his own brother in self defence. Technically, all the world has forgiven him at this point, but he has yet to forgive himself. Oh well, at least he has the ability to wield and be guided by the wind with terrifyingly powerful results... like, say, casually whipping up a freaking tornado. Kennen, the Heart of the Tempest (little, tiny, purple cloaked bundle of lightning and fur): This little ninja is a yordle, a mysterious species of little folk. They seem cute, they seem harmless, but dear lord never underestimate a yordle! This particular one has learned to master the art of tossing around shurikens... and also harness electricity to the point of generating what is undoubtedly a freaking nuke! Quite the colorful cast of characters, but would you be surprised, if I told you, that we barely scratched the surface here? To be precise, there are an incredible total of 155 champions, each with their own backstory (though some may be more interesting than others) and then we haven't even begun to talk about the world of Runeterra itself. Seriously, the amount of lore there is to discover, that basically plays no part in League of Legends itself, is quite impressive.
Excellent. Not surprised there is such a rich story with how much the fans love it. Thanks for sharing all of this and making us a little more informed as we dive in to LoL. 😃
It is a PC game, it has 10 year already. Soon will be a release of an animated serie about the World of League. Actually there is where we all are gonna understand more of the story.
League of Legends started on PC, and you can still play it there, but it is also now available in mobile form as "League of Legends: Wild Rift" on mobile devices. There is also a very cool digital card game set in the same universe called "Legends of Runeterra" (Runeterra is the name of the LoL world) which is on PC and mobile. I would also highly recommend watching all the other League cinematics, as they're all very well done. You may also enjoy checking out the "Champion Spotlight" videos, which give more insight into each character's story and gameplay style.
Thanks for all this info! We have a good list of LoL cinematics to react to. Warriors will be next stop on our journey but add the Champions Spotlight to our list as well 😎
Hm, interesting, very interesting, i don’t know and haven’t seen much of League of Legends either, so i guess, i will be watching and learning with you.
League of legends Cinematics and fights between each champions ends up in fair situation so it's make more sense(no one die here 😊) ..love your reactions keep it up ❤️ league of legends 🤗
The League of Legends Trailers are amazing and I would definitely recommended watching a lot, if not all, of the trailers. Just to keep in mind is that the franchise uses a realm that uses a vast of technology and magic, which might seems why it's confusing. Their is magic, weapons, and steampunk like technology. The game is on PC but it did came out with a mobile version as well. If I would recommend which trailer to look at next would be the LoL Warriors 2020 trailer and LoL New Dawn. But of course, all of the trailers are awesome and some even focuses on a certain character instead of a whole bunch. Love your videos and keep it up! :)
Thanks so much! We have Warriors on our list and is the most requested LoL trailer so we will do that one next in the franchise. Hadn’t had New Dawn recommended yet so thanks for letting us know about that one 😃
The context of this video is the story that is happening in the lore universe of League of Legends. At the moment, already a war between two nations, Noxus and Ionia, the girl with the flying blades is the character Irelia, who is defending Ionia from an attack by a platoon of Noxus and attacked by Sion, the big guy. This is just a remnant of the whole complex history that is being built in this war, you can see a lot more on the Universe website.
the girl with the white hair fighting in the arena is called Riven, she is a noxian woman who was kicked out of the army and was captured eventually to fight in the gladiators ring of Draven, he is the buff guy sitting on the sort of throne over the arena. He threw in Rivens runic blade to enter the arena himself because he thought Riven could give him the challenge he is longing for. He is actually that good of a fighter that he is actually bored because noone dares to challenge him, comparable to Saitama from One Punch Man
Some explication from the video here Noxus is inspired in the Roman empire, they are conquering and have stadium of gladiators in the video. Ionia or Jonia are the defender in the video, this region is based on Japan feudal
Yep he is a Yordle but if you look his unmasked version, he is looks like a racoon. one esports player named Nuguri(from FPX-China Team) made Kennen into a Racoon-like skin in light blue & white clothes for Damwon(because he was came from there and after the World Finals, he transferred in another team~ basically like a NBA team thingy)
This got rec'd on my feed, apparently that's how most of the League players got here lmao. There are a LOT of cinematics for League and cover different sort of events, but you can find everything I mention in the League channel's Cinematics playlist. This will be a long comment, bear with me! Saw mentions of Kin of the Stained Blade, this is a long video but the ending of this ties into a couple other cinematics. The "Ruined King: A League of Legends Story" announcement trailer takes place right after Kin of the Stained Blade's storyline. There is a lot of lore involved, which can be daunting for people unfamiliar with League, but the two Senna cinematics (Dark Passage, Shadow's Embrace), followed by the Ruination cinematic will add more to this particular storyline. The Tales of Runeterra cinematics! There are a few of these for some of the major regions in the League universe. The Call of the Mountain and Empires of the Ascended trailers for the Legends of Runeterra game are also more region specific cinematics that give you a feel for the world, and they're very pretty to look at, especially the Call of the Mountain one. If you want more music cinematics, the big ones are the K/DA videos. League has three fictional bands: K/DA (pop styled group), True Damage (hip hop group) and Pentakill (metal group). They all have music videos, Pentakill has "Mortal Reminder" and True Damage has "Giants." K/DA has several, their biggest being their "POP/STARS" debut, then "MORE." There's also "THE BADDEST" (lyric video), "VILLAIN", "I'LL SHOW YOU" (concept videos), and "DRUM GO DUM" (concept dance video). Pentakill has two albums if they're your style. I personally like all three bands but the K/DA is more well known. An addition the the above, "Get Jinxed!" music video is another good one. Not tied to any bands, but very fun cinematic and good song. A personal favourite of mine is "Light and Shadow," it's very beautifully animated. It's part of League's Star Guardian alternate universe, with "Burning Bright" and "A New Horizon" preceding it. The latter two are short trailers and the three videos won't give you enough information to tell you what's going on but they have nice sequences. Other miscellaneous suggestions, the "Welcome Aboard" Odyssey cinematic, "You Really Got Me" Wild Rift trailer, and "Xayah and Rakan: Wild Magic" There is a ton of content to take in but the League community will help you understand whatever you choose to watch, have fun and enjoy!
Amazing! Thanks so much for all this info and glad you found us as we just start our LoL journey. We had some of these recs in our growing LoL list but just double checking for the Star Guardian series the trailer order goes Burning Bright, New Horizon and Shadow trailer?
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames That's right! Burning Bright was the introduction to Star Guardians and is about Lux (the pink haired girl) and her team. A New Horizon follows up with Ahri (fox girl). I definitely will not explain too much at the moment until you view them yourselves, but I think it may be helpful to point out ahead of time that each Star Guardian has a gem, and the gems Ahri holds at the start of this cinematic have a connection with the characters featured in Light and Shadow. It won't completely piece the story together for you but might give you some additional clues to work with.
You have now started your journey into league of legends! You can’t stop now! You need to see all of their cinematic and music videos now! I will say while you don’t have to play the game they make some of the best if not the best cinematic and musical content in the industry. It does help that League of Legends is the most played game in the world too so they have a lot of revenue to make these amazing things! You should definitely check out “warriors 2020” “the climb” and before you look at “Ruination” you need to watch “Sennas Embrace” first. But be warned they have like 100 of these amazing videos so if you do their stuff just be prepared to have a lot of content to cover!
All scenes actually end in a tie Jhin actually has his last and most powerfull shot still ready in his gun to see in the red glowing mark. Draven actually enjoying himself that he found in RIven a challenge and she is. The last in Ionia Sion is still not defeated even after this massive blow from Kennen.
Hello, first time here and enjoyed your reaction... League of Legends is free to play PC game, they also released mobile version for this game recently. There is so many other cool cinematics for this game and also really good music videos with different music genres. So if you are interrested there is plenty of content for you. PS: I'm sorry for my poor english.
Welcome! Glad to have you join us. 🥳😃 And your English is good. Nobody speaks perfectly on the internet, even those speaking English all their lives. We are definitely interested in more league of legends content. 🤓
I love your reactions! They are fresh and I hope you are reacting to more cinematics and trailers and even the music videos of League of Legends (LoL) - they are all really recommendable and well put together (even though you started with the newest ones and go back ^^ but please keep the dates in mind- e.g. The champion in the arena here in "Awakening" is "Draven", who looks bored there and is the same as in "A New Dawn"(2013) - this alone shows the developement of animation style, quality and detail). League came a long way and it is very interesting to see how they evolved over the years with the quality of animation and also their concepts (cinematics with epic music - no dialogue, cinematics with story elements and dialogue, animated music videos, bringing up a virtual music group with original music) - so they even release an animation series called "Arcane" this fall on netflix ! They just stirr up the gaming industry with new concepts and ideas and that's so much fun about league and keeps the community hooked and hyped for this long :) Just for the fun: this is the very first teaser trailer of LoL when it was still in BETA Mode - here you can see how they started - a lot more rough (and less budget) than what you see today but you can already see that they have a good sense of concept and music use League of Legends Official Teaser Trailer (2009) ruclips.net/video/RprbAMOPsH0/видео.html and here the very first serious game cinematic after game release (2010) ruclips.net/video/IzMnCv_lPxI/видео.html and they know how to make fun (outtakes from this trailer XD ) ruclips.net/video/E6CRamuAkXc/видео.html
Nice. Thanks for dropping the links and giving us some more background on the growth and development of LoL over the years. We heard about Netflix show and hope to check it out when it’s released 😎
The cute little thing is kennen, welcome to the league of legends. Go to netflix a series is finally anounce, from there you will see jinx and vi, another characters from the lore taking on the mainstream.
Love that a Netflix series is coming out for it. And Kennen is such a tiny little bad ass! Looking forward to checking out more of the cinematic trailers and finding out more about the lore from the fans 😃
A very good game with understanding, helpful and not at all toxic playrbase! Recommend it to anyone who just wants to connect with other ppl and show kindness and empathy to others!
The music on this is awesome. It started being a pc game only 5v5. Genre = MOBA. It’s the most popular competitive esports game in the world. Prize money for the world champions is over USD1m. But they are developing a MMO. And they also have a card game set in the world.
Its really cool, not only because nice animations and fights. They pin point the nature of characters. And its kinda funny sometimes. Yasuo does tornado to the creeps in side lanes and doesnt care about teamfights. Sion runs straight out and dies.(the big guy) Skilled Riven owns almost every 1v1(the girl with sword and arena) Kennen comes flashy into fight to end it(the little guy) Camille is really good in chasing high dps or dmg carries, but Jhin is too badass and smart to get caught that easily(the guy with piano). Draven always too overconfident(boss in the arena) And for some who know the lore maybe(I dont know it)
You should read into the league of legends lore, there is enough story line to fill a few books. League of Legends is not only a game but a whole different world.
Erm if it hasn't been said b4 but the LoL music videos are in a genre all in their own and there is 6 years worth both music videos and actually live shows as well for the opening ceremonies for the LoL world championships so you got a load to go through
Wow LEAGUE OF LEGENDS!!! thank you for this 😌 pls react for more of their cinematic trailer, I'm telling you they're all dope!!! One of my favorite is the Annie's origin, the art work of that one is really unique.
dunno if you will see this comment but one guy have done a gorgeous cinematics of DCS named "DCS World fan movie IV" by Adrián Caparzo and he used the song of this cinematics and you need to see this and i'm sure you will love it!
We see all comments.. maybe not all replies though. However we have added this one to our list not too long ago. Gonna be a bit probably before we get to it though 🙃🙏
I liked the duo dinamic, also the hunger for female represantation. LoL cinematics is famous for being more representative than most games. For more female power, you should definitely yes definitely check out "Warriors 2020" cinematic. The first openly "gay character" (I won't explain the quotation marks because of spoilers) has his own cinematic called "Varus: As We Fall". There are also a lot of music videos, where the ingame characters are made musical artists. There are three groups made of characters: Pentakill, a metal band that has already two albums; True Damage, a hip-hop group made completely out of non-white characters; and the most famous one is a k-pop female group named K/DA. All these band names have ingame significance. Also, League of Legends is a game produced by Riot. You can find other cinematics for other Riot games that share the same characters/world than those of League. And to end this: some cinematics are attached to each other and are better when seen in order. There are these particular ones that were highly anticipated for YEARS: they are about a demon hunter known as Lucian, the Purifier, seeking vengeance on the spectre that killed his wife (Senna) and collected her soul. This is told throughout one teaser and two cinematics: 1. Senna - Dark Passage; 2. The Climb; 3. Senna - Shadow's Embrace. After all that, the two can be seen together in "The Ruination", facing the continuous advance of the shadows they fight against.
Thanks for all this info! We love it. However we were told that it went The Climb, Dark Passage Senna Shadows Embrace and Ruinations so just double checking that Dark Passage is before the climb 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It was a mistake by the person. An honest one. But the ending scene of The Climb flows directly into Senna: Shadows Embrace. The confusion is made because The Climb takes us back to other champions in other story lines before delivering us back to Lucian and his fight against Thresh. But the correct sequence of videos is indeed Dark Passage; The Climb; Shadow's Embrace.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes this is correct -I would also recomment to make one reaction video with you watching all three trailers in order :) "the climb" is a cinematic with epic music and showcasting abilities and interactions of different champions (like a traditional LoL cinematic is like) but driving into the story direction and ending of Lucian ... ... "Senna: Shadows Embrace" continues this with still no dialogue but only showcasting with gestures and visual story telling some of the lore of Lucian and Senna in order to highlight the introduction of the new champion Senna (support champion but can also be played as a damage dealing adc) being Lucians (is also a damage dealing adc) wife... ...the "Ruination" (last cinematic video) continues with the story of the shadows embrace and leads to the interwined story of the new introduced champion and "evil source" Viego. This video has dialogue and feels more like an ingame cinematic like you know from WoW for example and has an open ending about the upcoming events. [a very rough nut in a shell explanation: Viego is an (arrogant) fallen king from 1000 years ago and possessed by wrath because he lost the love of his wife (after she fell victim to an assassination attempt that should originally kill Viego) and after rescuing her she stabbed him with his own sword and unfolded with this act the upcoming ruination]. remark: As you asked about console gaming - they release a game for PS4 and PS5 "Ruined King" which will be most likely heavily related to this part of the League story here is a trailer for this ruclips.net/video/2dGtbBZgDDA/видео.html
also idk if anyone said this already but the little series "tales of runeterra" is good for watching just cool little shorts about some of the characters from this world
Some lore if you're curious:
Theater: the masked character is Jhin, he's a legendary serial killer who treats his killings as art. His "performances" have been causing trouble for a powerful merchant family in the city of Piltover, so they send their enforcer Camille to apprehend him. However, Jhin anticipated Camille was coming, so he laid out a trap in advance. The story is explored more in the Zed comic.
Arena: The character in the stands is Draven, he runs most of the fight pits in the Noxian Empire. He's overseeing a fight involving another character, Riven, who had betrayed Noxus after witnessing them unleash chemical weapons. Riven intrigues him, so he throws her runic blade down into the arena and faces her himself. The setup for this story occurred in the Sisterhood of War trilogy of short stories.
Village: The character with the knives is Irelia, she was a resistance leader and figurehead in the previous Noxian invasion of Ionia. She's defending this village from a returning Noxian army, but is overpowered by their undead general, Sion. At the last moment, Irelia is saved by Karma, Ionia's spiritual leader. Also arriving are several other notable Ionians, including Akali, an assassin, Yasuo, a disgraced swordsman, and Kennen, a prominent figure in the Kinkou Order. They successfully rally the villagers and manage to push back Sion's army. The events leading up to this story are unknown, but it's likely they will be explored following the release of the spinoff game "Ruined King: A League of Legends Story."
Thanks for all the background character info! And Jhin looks like a serial killer that would consider it “performance art” 😡 out of all the characters, he had such a creepy vibe to him 🙈
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames There's a reason why Jhin is one of the game's most popular champions. No champion in the game has quite nailed their lore, cinematics, AND gameplay the way he has. I play him fairly regularly and even his quotes send chills up my spine: "I never hurt anyone... It's the performance that kills." Damn, that's a quote...
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I think the creepiest part about him is: you dont know what he looks like.
He always wears a mask and we've been told that he might look very average and normal, which kinda of reflects real life killers.. its crazy.
i noticed riven seems to be enjoying the fight a little with draven, she has a little smile after headbutting him
@@Gruber122
Or maybe it’s just the satisfaction of getting to headbutt Draven
Folks,they have entered the cinematic well of Riot
😁😁🤟🤟
Rabbit hole*
Awesome! Would love to see more League of Legends reactions!
Up
Seems like you are not alone. So more will be coming 😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yesssss!! i'll subs then 😃
Guys pls reaction on league of legends cinématique 2020
Riot's animation teams very much understand the phrase 'every frame a painting.' Plus their ability to cram an amazing amount of storytelling into very brief time frame.
What other games do they make besides LoL. We are going to react to warriors next week but if there are other franchises with cool trailers we’d be down to add them to our list if they haven’t already been suggested 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames They don't have any other games that have a lot of cinematics. But they do have quite a few music videos and trailers. I'm a big fan of K\DA's videos. In particular: The Baddest, I'll Show You, Popstars, More, and Villain (in order of least to most impressive animation, but not release order). They also have Drum Go Dum, but that's more of a dance video and not an animation.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Riot has some animations from other games like Valorant and Legends of Runeterra (LOR shares the same IP with League though)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I'd suggest checking out Blizzard's trailers specifically their World of Warcraft and Starcraft, as them and Riot are the best videogame creators with amazing trailers.
riot doesnt do their own cinematics, they dont have an in game animation team. all of their cinematics, this included, was made by digic pictures, they also made a lot of other cinematics for other games. and the more 2d looking ones was made by fortiche productions. the only game developer i know that has an in house cinematic department is blizzard
Ok, so this one is going to be long. Anyways the man at the piano is named Jhin. He’s a murderer that believes killing is an art. The girl that as metal legs is named Camille. When Jhin started shooting at Camille he was intentionally missing because he was guiding her to where he wanted her to be killed. This observation was not mine, I read it in the comments of the original video. Just wanted to let you guys know.
In the game Jhin is also know as The Virtuoso
Thanks for letting us know 😀
A fun and awesome fact about the big dude with an axe. His name is Sion, he's basically an undead Juggernaut. In the last battle he fought as a human, he lead an army against a Demacian army which is lead by it's king Jarvan the I. While both armies were retreating, he got so mad at the fact he didn't get to kill the king that he straight up turned back and chase the king's army alone, the dude is such a god damn UNIT that he literally plowed through Jarvan the I's army, tanking HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of cuts and slashes. But despite all of that he still had enough strength to not only reach the king, but also proceeds to ripped off the crown and choke the king to death WITH ONE HAND.
If you guys look at him again, you'll notice that he has a metal object attached to his bottom jaw. That metal object is in fact the crown that he ripped off from the head of King Jarvan the I.
He is my favourite character in all of League. If this doesn't make people think he's a badass, I don't know what will!
Damn. Undead juggernaut is a badass title 😁😎🤟
Oh you guys definitely need to watch some more league of legends cinematics!
We will. Already got a separate list going of LoL recommendations 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames serch a playlist of the world championship cinematics and pick one, all of there are awesome
I can't stop smiling when I watch these cinematics, seeing my favourite characters do their thing is just amazing. The game on the other hand, makes me wanna cry sometimes.
Yeah we are only doing Cinematics for now and not the game as we have heard it can be rough on new players. But the cinematics are beautiful 🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Wise choice 😊 Can't wait to see more from the both of you!
Omg thank you so much 🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ there is another cinematic call warrior its really good ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
We will! 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I should note - there is two called “warriors” from Riot - the 2014 one they did a collab with imagine dragons, and is more of a music video, where as Warriors 2020 is more of a cinematic style with music, like this one was
I don't know which is more epic, whether the video or the music itself, goosebumps on both of them.
Agreed. This was a great video for us to start our LoL journey. Warriors will be next week 😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I like Riven (white hairy gladiator warrior) and Katarina (red haired assassin) 💞👌👍
Riven was a standout to us as well 😁
I like how Riven created: Eyes, sweat, war painting, etc., it wouldn't be a bad feature film at all 👍
Bethany @ 4:01 : "Awww"
Kennen (little purple charachter) : "Lemme just light this up real quick"
Just letting you guys know, that is/was everyone's first reaction to Kennen. Mine as well. That scene is what made me want to play him in game. And it is now my favorite 5 seconds of any trailer they (LoL) have.
Lmao “lemme just light this up real quick”. You should write dialogue for these cinematics 🤟😎
OMG Her reaction to Kennen was adoreable
🤗 glad you liked it. Hopefully you saw our Warriors trailer reaction we just posted today as well 🙂
just watch EVERY league trailer in one video. would probably be like a 5 hour video but worth it.
Haha. Might be too long for us to keep up our energy and enthusiasm, but longer compilations like 20-40 minutes aren’t out of question. Warriors is next stop on our journey 😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames YAYYY YOU SHOULD DO 'MORE' TOO
the guy with the mask hid the gun behind his back , in the movie you see he shot 3 times and kept the fourth one because in the game and story , the fourth ammo is the most powerful shot of all .
Jhin right? We’ve heard about him from some other comments and he seems terrifyingly fascinating 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames cant wait to see you guys react to "warwick :rework
Inside the universe, genders have not diference of strenght. Also there no have nothing about talking that. Thats why its so incredible. Im always watch and always i get emocioned about it.
One of the most beautiful thing in this video is at 4:15 where Jhin bow and has the last shot, witch is making most dmg...amazing that scene
😎🤟
and with his attitude to death as art, that means he missed three times on purpose.
Thank you for the react.
Much love from Brazil !!
Muito Obrigado! 🥰🥳🤟
The Ending Encounter at the End in the Theater was between Jhin (the phantom of the opera like guy) and Camille (Cyborg with scissor feet).The thing with Jhin is everything is a performance and at the end when he bows it is because it was actually the finale (Jhins mechanic in game is he has 4 shots) and when he bowed he had only used 3 of the 4. So it is hinted that Luring Camille in at the end was the finale with the 4th shot.
Oh nice little detail there. Love it 😃
4:15 here jhin the masked guy is actully pointing his solder cannon , if you notice there something big and solid above is solder thats a cannon
😯
Fun fact:
Jhin has 4 shots in his gun. this are 4 because Jhin has also 4 letters. If you look precise you see in the trailer he shots 3 times, and bows to camille with the last shot in his gun.
Man this dude is a genius in some kind. I always get goosebumps in this scene, because for him its like the "final" of his "show". His Charackter is scaring and poetic at the same time thats what I like most about him. He is a serial killer yeah but damn this dude has some deep quotes ingame! He is like Goethe or Schiller as seriel killer!
I Enjoy your reactions quite much because your talk afterwards! Keep on the good work guys :)
Thanks so much! And Jhin is one of the cooler characters lore wise in this game from what people like yourself have told us about him 😃
Exactly this is actually how the comic ended he wounded Camille and she manages to escape! well pointed
So glad to find your channel just as you're starting your journey with LoL reactions! I've been invested in the game for a decade and it never gets old experiencing it all vicariously through fresh eyes
Amazing! Glad to have you join us on our journey. Welcome. 🥳😃🤟🍾🍻
Draven: finally, a worthy opponent.
😎🤟
4:32 That was like 90% people first reaction 😂
🤗🤟
"Oh shit!", yep, that's Yasuo, not even his ult :D.
😎🤟
I am back here once again for the god knows how many times.
Fun fact : all the colors in jhin's ''preformance'' is actually blood splattering around but you get to see his preformance from his POV
I love how Camille walked in and She was like 👁️👀 hhhh
The music and the trailer fits perfectly !
Agreed!
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yups
Every champion in League, whether they be male or female have massive feats to their name.
After 9 years break my fanatical phase to playing League came back and NOW I have excitement again to watch every reaction on LOL's videos xd
I've seen this video before but it was a lot of fun to watch with you two again!
Glad you enjoyed it 🥳😊
Guy with a piano isn't down yet. He has 4th shot.
😯
"I have risen from the filth and muck
I am the lotus blossom
I am *Beauty* "
Jhin (The phantom of the opera) : "It is The Performance that kills"
They will come.. and they will subscribe, lol more please
Next week. Warriors! 😃🥳
Indeed, I've come... and I am here lol
Oh well... Don't mind me, I'm just turning my notifications On to watch every one of your League reactions xD
Welcome! 🥳🥳 so glad the league of legends community has been enjoying our first dive into the series and joining our little community. Warriors will be next stop on our LoL journey ☺️
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes! League has such a vast universe to explore, and Riot Games sure do a great job expanding it and creating trailers, MV's and a lot of other things for it.
I strongly recommend you the MV's, the music Riot produces is simply amazing, and also they don't have copyright!
And a great time coming into the League universe, as they just confirmed today that Arcane, the first ever League show, is coming to Netflix, this Fall!
So cool! Guess we won’t cancel that Netflix subscription after all 😃
Check out "Fiddlesticks : Terror in Demacia" and "Fiddlesticks, The Ancient Fear champion theme" in this order!
We will! If for no other reason than we’re dying to say Fiddlesticks as many times as possible 😛
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Oh hell yes! He's one of my favourites along with those two videos.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Not only, there's even the video with the interactions with other characters: ruclips.net/video/1AIQXqTHWmA/видео.html&t. He's special cause not only he knows everybody's fears, but when he kills someone he remembers (and say) their last words. It's so cool! To watch! (P.S.: keep up the great work, love you guys!)
There's even the explanation to the interactions if you want to: ruclips.net/video/qfEvH8YZbCQ/видео.html. Bye😁
Would LOVE to see more League reactions from you!
We will definitely do more. Already got a good list of suggestions for more LoL trailers 😃
I absolutely love the man in the mask Jhin I play him a ton in the game. I would recommend checking out some of his quotes the voice actor did an absolutely fantastic job delivering his lines. You get a great look into his twisted mind. In some he almost shows remorse "I swear each performance will be the last, but I lie every time" in others his obsessive nature "perfection isnt good enough" others are simple but the delivery gives them such impact " when they find you they will cry" you can tell he knows what he is doing is wrong to a degree he just thinks that "art is worth the pain". "The trigger on a loaded weapon... it whispers for us to act." -why his gun's name is whisper.
Have heard Jhin is fascinating character! Another mine someone said of his WS something like ‘I don’t kill people, it’s the performance that does’ not exact quote but it was along those lines . Looking forward to seeing more of him 😎
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Unfortunately as of now this is the only cinematic he is in. Cant complain too much because he was the major antagonist in one of the short comic series (zed) and got his own short story.
that little pikatchu guy at the end is called "kennen" and she is a female
And she is badass 🤩😎🤟🥳
@@FunnyPeopleClips2002 Pretty sure Kennen is male.
They just entering the rabbit hole .. here we go.
1 hour. Warriors reaction. 😎🤟
please watch all the league cinematics, every one of them is amazing and definitely worth seeing!
😎🤟
a touch of lore the comments didn't mention, Sion's lower jaw is the crown of King Jarvan III, his son and successor Jarvan IV is a playable character in league. The little "Pikachu" dude is Kennen, he's a Yordle, just like Tristana/Corki/Lulu/Teemo from the video you watched where they get captured by Graves. Also, if you want to play some league I can teach you, I've been playing it for what feels like an eternity.
Thanks so much for giving us some more lore info 😃 Not sure if this is a game we will play but it is definitely a world we will keep exploring 🤩
MOAR League of Legends cinematics they are incredible (best list can be easily googled)
Cool beans added to our LoL list 🤓
Welcome to the league rabbit hole
😝🤓🤟
The part where the pianist was playing and start to blast all with his traps and the female with white hair start jumping around he fire 3 shots, his character has a weapon that can have up to 4 bullets and the 4° one is always the strongest , so that's why he do a little bow as to praise camille for playing her role in his hands before he shots her
What I always find odd is, while, yes, Jhin does only fire 3 shots on screen, his motion seems to imply, that he fired his first shot offscreen, otherwise I would find it odd why he would do the lever action spin with Whisper (3:43) before even having fired a single shot. It would make more sense, if he had his last round in the chamber when he bows, but from the animation, it just doesn't look like that's the case to me.
Dig it. Thanks for letting us know more about this and what’s going on. 😃
@@remor698 Toying with his next 'masterpiece' maybe? Giving her hope for that fleeting moment before he fires...kinda like when someone thinks they're out of his ultimate's range and BAM! (I play alot of Jhin, lol)
4:36 "when women kick butts" yeah its league women are badass
4:13 bro, that jhin's bow gives me goosebump every time. Camille walking into his 4th shot lol.
😎🤟😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I'm guessing you didn't understand it? Jhin is a maskman with a gun with only 4 bullets, 4th bullet deals more damage/crit. He's also a perfectionist (lore) who does everything with style. Hence the bowdown while pointing his gun( on his shoulder) directly towards Camille.
Oh nice. No we did not know that but love learning all this stuff out. At first character seemed out of place but knowing more of backstory makes him bad ass 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames he is also a serial killer obsessed with the number , while Camille (the cyborg lady) is like a 60 year old women who is an agent who makes sure the city runs smoothly
The MOOOOOOOOOOOOST exciting thing in this video for me is that the masked shooter you see in the teather (Jhin), has an OCD for the number 4 in everything. His gun can only shoot 4 times before reloading, AND his 4th bullet is way more deadly than the rest. The thing is that in this video, if you count, he only shot 3 times, and when he bowed to the girl with the Blade Legs (Camile) he hid his gun in his back holding the 4th bullet. Meaning something will DEFINITELY Happen there
😯 Thats a coop bit of info! Thanks for sharing it 😃
i love how curious and confuse the reactors get by watching jhins performance
🤗
Yeah, it's a big war between several factions. The game it self doesn't really do the story all that much. But very excited for the animated series
Hopefully Netflix knocks it out of the park 😃🥳
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames if you haven't you should check their 2 min teaser. It's pretty great. Fantastic artwork, love the style they went with
Happy days, some more reactors, who get to watch the glory of the world of Runeterra in action. Don't mind me, while I quickly try to summarize who all of the legends, that appear in this one, are. In order of appearance, we have:
Jhin, the Virtuoso (my personal favorite of the bunch, even though they're all amazing): A masked, psycopathic serial killer, who believes his murder to be a form of art, using exceptionally powerful hextech (magic technology) weaponry to make the final moment of his victims as beautiful as he can imagine and he can imagine a lot, considering his uncanny ability to legitimately set up an entire murderous performance for each of his murders. Also, has an obsession with the number 4 for some reason, hence why literally every piece of his gear has something 4 related to it (traps explode after 4 seconds, gun has 4 shots and the 4th is most powerful, has a shoulder-mounted grenade launcher, the projectile of which bounces 4 times before exploding). In fact, there is soo much 4 related stuff to him, that it would be too much to list here, so moving on...
Draven, the Glorious Executioner (the madlad with the knack for spinny stuff): King of the fight pits, he wields a pair of spinning, double-bladed "axes" (look more like beefy swords to me, but I won't argue with him about it) and is outright addicted to the spectacle of a good fight and having the cheering crowd echo his name around the arena. Perhaps a little overconfident, but the man has the skill to be just that arrogant.
Irelia, the Blade Dancer: The leader of the resistance against that massive army, she is fighting against in her part of the cinematic. Though she apparently got her position less on the basis of leadership skill and more due to the fact, that she was one of the few really skillful people, who would actively take a stand against the invaders and not just sit by to let nature take its course (in her land, many believe, that nature will find its balance on its own and deemed interfering with a nation's worth of soldiers coming in to wreck everything in sight, to be going against nature).
Camille, the Steel Shadow (the authoratative lady with the blade legs): Leader of what is effectively a private police force, operating in a not quite legal fashion. Yet another perfectionist, she just went ahead and got herself augmented big time to maintain whatever sort of order she deems correct with as precise and efficient a use of force as possible. Though it may now also be debatable, if she is even human anymore or just a cold machine.
Riven, the Exile (the chained up brawler lady): The result of what happens, when you have an ambitious soldier rise up through the ranks and then send them to tear up an entirely peaceful nation, which barely even fights back, even when provoked. Of course, she abandoned that army and is now more or less on her own with only that broken runic sword of hers to remind her of the past, she has to reforge. Though, she now has quite a bit more to boot than just the skills worthy of a general and a busted sword (which can reform itself into its complete form magically and is actually more used like a medium weighted short sword rather than a beefy greatsword), as she has picked up some ki related abilities on her journey to redemption.
Sion, the Undead Juggernaut (the humanoid bulldozer with a furnace stomach): A war hero so mighty, the higher ups of his army decided to make him serve even after his death, though now considerably less human and more a weaponized brute, a machine of war, which runs on the souls of friends and foe alike.
Karma, the Enlightened One (shielding lady with the jade crystals floating behind her): An ancient soul, reincarnated countless times across the ages. She seeks to bring harmony and balance to her people and give guidance wherever possible, though she knows that peace is a costly endeavor.
Akali, the Rogue Assassin (masked ninja lady, wielding dagger, kama and smoke bombs): Formerly trained by an order of ninja-style warriors, who uphold balance, she has abandoned them to use her training against an obviously malicious and destructive foe, when they thought it best to let nature balance itself out.
Yasuo, the Unforgiven (the samurai with the gigantic bun): Tragic backstory is tragic, this guy was falsely accused of murder and found himself forced to subsequently kill his own brother in self defence. Technically, all the world has forgiven him at this point, but he has yet to forgive himself. Oh well, at least he has the ability to wield and be guided by the wind with terrifyingly powerful results... like, say, casually whipping up a freaking tornado.
Kennen, the Heart of the Tempest (little, tiny, purple cloaked bundle of lightning and fur): This little ninja is a yordle, a mysterious species of little folk. They seem cute, they seem harmless, but dear lord never underestimate a yordle! This particular one has learned to master the art of tossing around shurikens... and also harness electricity to the point of generating what is undoubtedly a freaking nuke!
Quite the colorful cast of characters, but would you be surprised, if I told you, that we barely scratched the surface here? To be precise, there are an incredible total of 155 champions, each with their own backstory (though some may be more interesting than others) and then we haven't even begun to talk about the world of Runeterra itself. Seriously, the amount of lore there is to discover, that basically plays no part in League of Legends itself, is quite impressive.
Excellent. Not surprised there is such a rich story with how much the fans love it. Thanks for sharing all of this and making us a little more informed as we dive in to LoL. 😃
In chinese culture the number 4 is the number of death ... and Riot likes to inspire themselves from irl stuff quite alot
Absolutely love Jhin (the maniac with a mask playing the piano).
He is freaky as hell! And we’ve been told he does performance art Murder which seems to fit his creepy look 🙈
It is a PC game, it has 10 year already. Soon will be a release of an animated serie about the World of League. Actually there is where we all are gonna understand more of the story.
😎🤟
Amazing, please more!
We will! Warriors will be next stop on our journey. 😎
League of Legends started on PC, and you can still play it there, but it is also now available in mobile form as "League of Legends: Wild Rift" on mobile devices.
There is also a very cool digital card game set in the same universe called "Legends of Runeterra" (Runeterra is the name of the LoL world) which is on PC and mobile.
I would also highly recommend watching all the other League cinematics, as they're all very well done. You may also enjoy checking out the "Champion Spotlight" videos, which give more insight into each character's story and gameplay style.
Thanks for all this info! We have a good list of LoL cinematics to react to. Warriors will be next stop on our journey but add the Champions Spotlight to our list as well 😎
Hm, interesting, very interesting, i don’t know and haven’t seen much of League of Legends either, so i guess, i will be watching and learning with you.
It’s a fun franchise. We will most likely never play the game but enjoy the world and characters 🙂
You should watch...The WARWICK Trailer! It's awesome and spooky.
We plan to. Won’t make it for this Halloween but we will watch it eventually 🥳
nice reaction for kenen 👍
Haha, that little guy is awesome. A Yordle right? 🤗
You two are so cute, i loved the reactions 😄
Thanks! 🥰😊🤗
I love the enthusiasm!
This trailer brought it out of us! We are pumped to see Warriors next when we go back to LoL 😎🤟😁
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I'll be waiting for it!
League of legends Cinematics and fights between each champions ends up in fair situation so it's make more sense(no one die here 😊) ..love your reactions keep it up ❤️ league of legends 🤗
😃 we have more LoL trailers coming as we get into the franchise 😎
The League of Legends Trailers are amazing and I would definitely recommended watching a lot, if not all, of the trailers. Just to keep in mind is that the franchise uses a realm that uses a vast of technology and magic, which might seems why it's confusing. Their is magic, weapons, and steampunk like technology. The game is on PC but it did came out with a mobile version as well. If I would recommend which trailer to look at next would be the LoL Warriors 2020 trailer and LoL New Dawn. But of course, all of the trailers are awesome and some even focuses on a certain character instead of a whole bunch. Love your videos and keep it up! :)
Thanks so much! We have Warriors on our list and is the most requested LoL trailer so we will do that one next in the franchise. Hadn’t had New Dawn recommended yet so thanks for letting us know about that one 😃
I just found your channel through assassins creed and simply said I have to see more
Yay! Glad you found us and reached out already. Welcome. 🙋♂️🙋♀️🥳😃🍻🍾
This Cinematics are Master Pieces my friends. Thanks.
Our pleasure more are coming down the road 😎🤟
The context of this video is the story that is happening in the lore universe of League of Legends.
At the moment, already a war between two nations, Noxus and Ionia, the girl with the flying blades is the character Irelia, who is defending Ionia from an attack by a platoon of Noxus and attacked by Sion, the big guy.
This is just a remnant of the whole complex history that is being built in this war, you can see a lot more on the Universe website.
Thanks so much for sharing that info 😃
Such dope cinematics
Agreed 🙂
the girl with the white hair fighting in the arena is called Riven, she is a noxian woman who was kicked out of the army and was captured eventually to fight in the gladiators ring of Draven, he is the buff guy sitting on the sort of throne over the arena. He threw in Rivens runic blade to enter the arena himself because he thought Riven could give him the challenge he is longing for. He is actually that good of a fighter that he is actually bored because noone dares to challenge him, comparable to Saitama from One Punch Man
Cool beans. Loving learning more about Riven. 😃
Some explication from the video here
Noxus is inspired in the Roman empire, they are conquering and have stadium of gladiators in the video.
Ionia or Jonia are the defender in the video, this region is based on Japan feudal
Thanks for some backstory! Interested in seeing more 😎
The lil' guys name is Kennen, his species is known as Yordles. He's a ninja with electric powers
Someone else called him “cocaine hamster 😂
Yep he is a Yordle but if you look his unmasked version, he is looks like a racoon. one esports player named Nuguri(from FPX-China Team) made Kennen into a Racoon-like skin in light blue & white clothes for Damwon(because he was came from there and after the World Finals, he transferred in another team~ basically like a NBA team thingy)
Your reaction was soo good 💯
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Definitely need more of these
We plan on it 🙂
more League of Legends !!
We will! 😃🤟
This got rec'd on my feed, apparently that's how most of the League players got here lmao. There are a LOT of cinematics for League and cover different sort of events, but you can find everything I mention in the League channel's Cinematics playlist. This will be a long comment, bear with me!
Saw mentions of Kin of the Stained Blade, this is a long video but the ending of this ties into a couple other cinematics. The "Ruined King: A League of Legends Story" announcement trailer takes place right after Kin of the Stained Blade's storyline. There is a lot of lore involved, which can be daunting for people unfamiliar with League, but the two Senna cinematics (Dark Passage, Shadow's Embrace), followed by the Ruination cinematic will add more to this particular storyline.
The Tales of Runeterra cinematics! There are a few of these for some of the major regions in the League universe. The Call of the Mountain and Empires of the Ascended trailers for the Legends of Runeterra game are also more region specific cinematics that give you a feel for the world, and they're very pretty to look at, especially the Call of the Mountain one.
If you want more music cinematics, the big ones are the K/DA videos. League has three fictional bands: K/DA (pop styled group), True Damage (hip hop group) and Pentakill (metal group). They all have music videos, Pentakill has "Mortal Reminder" and True Damage has "Giants." K/DA has several, their biggest being their "POP/STARS" debut, then "MORE." There's also "THE BADDEST" (lyric video), "VILLAIN", "I'LL SHOW YOU" (concept videos), and "DRUM GO DUM" (concept dance video). Pentakill has two albums if they're your style. I personally like all three bands but the K/DA is more well known.
An addition the the above, "Get Jinxed!" music video is another good one. Not tied to any bands, but very fun cinematic and good song.
A personal favourite of mine is "Light and Shadow," it's very beautifully animated. It's part of League's Star Guardian alternate universe, with "Burning Bright" and "A New Horizon" preceding it. The latter two are short trailers and the three videos won't give you enough information to tell you what's going on but they have nice sequences.
Other miscellaneous suggestions, the "Welcome Aboard" Odyssey cinematic, "You Really Got Me" Wild Rift trailer, and "Xayah and Rakan: Wild Magic"
There is a ton of content to take in but the League community will help you understand whatever you choose to watch, have fun and enjoy!
Amazing! Thanks so much for all this info and glad you found us as we just start our LoL journey. We had some of these recs in our growing LoL list but just double checking for the Star Guardian series the trailer order goes Burning Bright, New Horizon and Shadow trailer?
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames That's right! Burning Bright was the introduction to Star Guardians and is about Lux (the pink haired girl) and her team. A New Horizon follows up with Ahri (fox girl). I definitely will not explain too much at the moment until you view them yourselves, but I think it may be helpful to point out ahead of time that each Star Guardian has a gem, and the gems Ahri holds at the start of this cinematic have a connection with the characters featured in Light and Shadow. It won't completely piece the story together for you but might give you some additional clues to work with.
Ahh kennen the cute but deadly cat ninja i think he's a cat
Hamster on cocaine was our favorite nickname for him 😂
Hamnster on cocaine lmao😂
Them: Ohhh this looks like opera
Me: Clearly these people still have lives outside of the never ending pit that is league of legends
😂🤗
You have now started your journey into league of legends! You can’t stop now! You need to see all of their cinematic and music videos now! I will say while you don’t have to play the game they make some of the best if not the best cinematic and musical content in the industry. It does help that League of Legends is the most played game in the world too so they have a lot of revenue to make these amazing things! You should definitely check out “warriors 2020” “the climb” and before you look at “Ruination” you need to watch “Sennas Embrace” first. But be warned they have like 100 of these amazing videos so if you do their stuff just be prepared to have a lot of content to cover!
We don’t mind the challenge! And so far the first vid has us hooked to want to learn more. Warriors 2020 is happening next week. See you then 😃🤟🥳🥂
All scenes actually end in a tie Jhin actually has his last and most powerfull shot still ready in his gun to see in the red glowing mark. Draven actually enjoying himself that he found in RIven a challenge and she is. The last in Ionia Sion is still not defeated even after this massive blow from Kennen.
😎👍🙂
watch every league of legends trailer, they all are very cool, especially to league of legends kin of the stained blade
That’s a cool title and a new one to add to our League of Legends list we got going now 😎
Hello, first time here and enjoyed your reaction...
League of Legends is free to play PC game, they also released mobile version for this game recently. There is so many other cool cinematics for this game and also really good music videos with different music genres. So if you are interrested there is plenty of content for you.
PS: I'm sorry for my poor english.
Welcome! Glad to have you join us. 🥳😃 And your English is good. Nobody speaks perfectly on the internet, even those speaking English all their lives. We are definitely interested in more league of legends content. 🤓
I'm having goosebumps
They have another one called Warriors if you guys are interested
We are interested and have added it to our list. Annie’s Origin is in there as well 🤓
I love your reactions! They are fresh and I hope you are reacting to more cinematics and trailers and even the music videos of League of Legends (LoL) - they are all really recommendable and well put together (even though you started with the newest ones and go back ^^ but please keep the dates in mind- e.g. The champion in the arena here in "Awakening" is "Draven", who looks bored there and is the same as in "A New Dawn"(2013) - this alone shows the developement of animation style, quality and detail). League came a long way and it is very interesting to see how they evolved over the years with the quality of animation and also their concepts (cinematics with epic music - no dialogue, cinematics with story elements and dialogue, animated music videos, bringing up a virtual music group with original music) - so they even release an animation series called "Arcane" this fall on netflix ! They just stirr up the gaming industry with new concepts and ideas and that's so much fun about league and keeps the community hooked and hyped for this long :)
Just for the fun: this is the very first teaser trailer of LoL when it was still in BETA Mode - here you can see how they started - a lot more rough (and less budget) than what you see today but you can already see that they have a good sense of concept and music use

Nice. Thanks for dropping the links and giving us some more background on the growth and development of LoL over the years. We heard about Netflix show and hope to check it out when it’s released 😎
The cute little thing is kennen, welcome to the league of legends. Go to netflix a series is finally anounce, from there you will see jinx and vi, another characters from the lore taking on the mainstream.
Love that a Netflix series is coming out for it. And Kennen is such a tiny little bad ass! Looking forward to checking out more of the cinematic trailers and finding out more about the lore from the fans 😃
Yasuo doing Yasuo things.
The dude did more with one freaking swing of his katana than the rest of his comrades combined.🤣
😎🤟
"More" KDA by League of Legends, to blow your mind ;)
🤯🙂
A very good game with understanding, helpful and not at all toxic playrbase! Recommend it to anyone who just wants to connect with other ppl and show kindness and empathy to others!
😂
The music on this is awesome.
It started being a pc game only 5v5. Genre = MOBA.
It’s the most popular competitive esports game in the world.
Prize money for the world champions is over USD1m.
But they are developing a MMO. And they also have a card game set in the world.
Damn didn’t know prize money got that big. Very cool 😃
Awesome! More League of Legends content please
Sounds good to us 😃🤟
Its really cool, not only because nice animations and fights. They pin point the nature of characters. And its kinda funny sometimes.
Yasuo does tornado to the creeps in side lanes and doesnt care about teamfights.
Sion runs straight out and dies.(the big guy)
Skilled Riven owns almost every 1v1(the girl with sword and arena)
Kennen comes flashy into fight to end it(the little guy)
Camille is really good in chasing high dps or dmg carries, but Jhin is too badass and smart to get caught that easily(the guy with piano).
Draven always too overconfident(boss in the arena)
And for some who know the lore maybe(I dont know it)
It’s nice when the video can appeal to those who know nothing like us as well as those familiar with the characters that can spot the nuances 😊🤩🥳
More league of legends reactions pls ❣❣
Next week. Warriors. 😎🤟
You should read into the league of legends lore, there is enough story line to fill a few books. League of Legends is not only a game but a whole different world.
That’s what we are finding out 🙂
Cool detail: at 3:14 we see draven (spinny axe mustache guy) actually threw the sword to free riven (white hair girl) so the fight was fair
Missed that. Nice spot 😃
Erm if it hasn't been said b4 but the LoL music videos are in a genre all in their own and there is 6 years worth both music videos and actually live shows as well for the opening ceremonies for the LoL world championships so you got a load to go through
Yes tons to explore in this world which is great. We are going to focus on cinematics first and then just branch out from there 😃
I'm waiting for you guys going hard with all the lol content
Next week. Warriors. 🤟🍻
I miss playing League.
Wow LEAGUE OF LEGENDS!!! thank you for this 😌 pls react for more of their cinematic trailer, I'm telling you they're all dope!!! One of my favorite is the Annie's origin, the art work of that one is really unique.
ruclips.net/video/aUTU-GnxVuM/видео.html
Annie is on our list for LoL. Warriors is next and we will have that out next week. 😎🤟
dunno if you will see this comment but one guy have done a gorgeous cinematics of DCS named "DCS World fan movie IV" by
Adrián Caparzo and he used the song of this cinematics and you need to see this and i'm sure you will love it!
We see all comments.. maybe not all replies though. However we have added this one to our list not too long ago. Gonna be a bit probably before we get to it though 🙃🙏
I liked the duo dinamic, also the hunger for female represantation. LoL cinematics is famous for being more representative than most games.
For more female power, you should definitely yes definitely check out "Warriors 2020" cinematic.
The first openly "gay character" (I won't explain the quotation marks because of spoilers) has his own cinematic called "Varus: As We Fall".
There are also a lot of music videos, where the ingame characters are made musical artists.
There are three groups made of characters: Pentakill, a metal band that has already two albums; True Damage, a hip-hop group made completely out of non-white characters; and the most famous one is a k-pop female group named K/DA. All these band names have ingame significance.
Also, League of Legends is a game produced by Riot. You can find other cinematics for other Riot games that share the same characters/world than those of League.
And to end this: some cinematics are attached to each other and are better when seen in order. There are these particular ones that were highly anticipated for YEARS: they are about a demon hunter known as Lucian, the Purifier, seeking vengeance on the spectre that killed his wife (Senna) and collected her soul. This is told throughout one teaser and two cinematics: 1. Senna - Dark Passage; 2. The Climb; 3. Senna - Shadow's Embrace. After all that, the two can be seen together in "The Ruination", facing the continuous advance of the shadows they fight against.
Thanks for all this info! We love it. However we were told that it went The Climb, Dark Passage Senna Shadows Embrace and Ruinations so just double checking that Dark Passage is before the climb 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It was a mistake by the person. An honest one. But the ending scene of The Climb flows directly into Senna: Shadows Embrace. The confusion is made because The Climb takes us back to other champions in other story lines before delivering us back to Lucian and his fight against Thresh. But the correct sequence of videos is indeed Dark Passage; The Climb; Shadow's Embrace.
Perfect!!! Thanks so much for clarifying 😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes this is correct -I would also recomment to make one reaction video with you watching all three trailers in order :)
"the climb" is a cinematic with epic music and showcasting abilities and interactions of different champions (like a traditional LoL cinematic is like) but driving into the story direction and ending of Lucian ...
... "Senna: Shadows Embrace" continues this with still no dialogue but only showcasting with gestures and visual story telling some of the lore of Lucian and Senna in order to highlight the introduction of the new champion Senna (support champion but can also be played as a damage dealing adc) being Lucians (is also a damage dealing adc) wife...
...the "Ruination" (last cinematic video) continues with the story of the shadows embrace and leads to the interwined story of the new introduced champion and "evil source" Viego. This video has dialogue and feels more like an ingame cinematic like you know from WoW for example and has an open ending about the upcoming events. [a very rough nut in a shell explanation: Viego is an (arrogant) fallen king from 1000 years ago and possessed by wrath because he lost the love of his wife (after she fell victim to an assassination attempt that should originally kill Viego) and after rescuing her she stabbed him with his own sword and unfolded with this act the upcoming ruination].
remark:
As you asked about console gaming - they release a game for PS4 and PS5 "Ruined King" which will be most likely heavily related to this part of the League story
here is a trailer for this
ruclips.net/video/2dGtbBZgDDA/видео.html
LOL has a lot of great videos, video game music video, storyline video, ... you guys should watch them all ^^
Our journey begins. 😎 Next stop: Warriors
also idk if anyone said this already but the little series "tales of runeterra" is good for watching just cool little shorts about some of the characters from this world
Yeah we plan to watch those. They give overview of the different regions right? 🤔🙃
