I've been playing this game nearly daily for 7/8 years and I cry Everytime I see this video... Riot really created this game from nothing, and turned it into the biggest game in the world. They came a long way and are not close to done, what an adventure ! This is history for me.
Riot Games being better at telling heart wrenching stories in three minutes that Hollywood can't even come close to pulling off in three hours. The difference between being a story teller and a propagandist.
Oreosmilkshake no shittier than hearthstone in my opinion. Also way more generous than magic arena. Magic’s funner to me but it’s also decades old and fleshed out. But I would like to hear why you think it’s crappy.
@@cristobalsapiain2709 See, thats what doesn't make sense to me. Why doesn't Noxus, as a whole, just say "Hey other regions. You know that Ruined King guy? Well he's just a nobody compared to Mordekaiser. We gotta do whatever we can to stop this guy, or it's the end of the world." instead of running around invading people's lands, brutally murdering people, destroying their homes, etc. Seems like Mordekaiser's influence on their culture was too great to overcome. And as far as ending tyrannies, they don't end them. They swap old tyrants for Noxian tyranny and market it as "freedom." A brutal meritocracy is still a tyrannical system.
ARCANE exposed me to all these LOL Cinematics/Songs and man they all hit so good. This is my first time watching this one and the artistic way the video was done along with the glorious song has me playing this on repeat all this morning! The vocals/song here takes me to another place!
Same, I'm so glad that they came out with Arcane, it has shown me this huge and magnificent world that they have made, and I think I am going to be here to stay for a long time.
If you want to try the game but don't like MOBAs, I'd recommend Legends of Runeterra (you probably realised that the video is about LoR instead of LoL), it's a great card game and you can actually learn quite a bit about the world by playing it. And they also recently released The Ruined King, wich is a turn-based RPG in the League world, I haven't played it yet but I hear it has a pretty good campaign.
And the sad part is I’m not sure how popular the actual games gonna be, it seems like a great game, I’d totally play it if I was any good at card games Edit: Holy shit guys fine ill play the fucken game lmao

the animation looks like CHICKEN RUN styL Darius face here is kinda bad not trully as his original looks but they put his original voice. MOST LAME video with him was when they invade on king, they dint put even the original voice actor , and his teeth was like door (lol )
This is the future for Riot, and we shall cheers up to their epic, beautiful, fantasy, And MOBA of the year. Very great cinematic and we hyped their creation.
for me personally, its the feeling of my passion for the game and the world being understood and materialized in front of my eyes. in some weird way it feels like a dream coming true.
1:50 These 2 can actually be an insane design for a champion. Basically a brother and sister playing together Switching between eachother. Imagine if basically willump could ride nunu and swap around using different spells Similar to how say Elise swaps forms but instead its these 2 kids. And swap back and forth. That could be how they work. They seem to have some abilities sorta teased. That would be an insane champ design to see. Unique and interesting.
Just remember, we said the same about Blizzard and their Hollywood movie ended up being mostly a disappointment. But obviously the problem here is Hollywood.

I love that they're moving more towards showing Darius' good side and not just having him be some murderous brute that people think he is, which is the exact opposite of what he is. Darius values honor and peoples' individuality, which is entirely what the "new" Noxus is built upon.
thats not cithria, nor is it demacian, if you watch the noxus legends of runterra storey you see she was a liberated slave from a surrounding kingdom of noxus
@@alexdgod1106 that IS cithria lol, if u played the game, you would know. the one youre referring to is trifarian gloryseeker, different from cithiria the bold.
@@Thesmus you do realize this is suppose to be the invasion of Ionia and Darius is noxan which is mortal enemies with Demacia which cithra is a knight of Demacia so if this is cithra you are telling me cithra and her legion betrayed garen and demecia to assist Darius and noxus with the invasion of Ionia?
Alexdgod lol yeah it doesn’t make sense to the lore but that’s legends of runeterra for you. You can have demacian and noxus units working together in one deck. That’s the point of this one
people either can't take a joke and/or doesnt understand the cinematic. It is not canon, Darius and Zed represents the player of the game and their moves/cards they pick in the game.
This is from my perspective. In Game: Wow the Demacians are good guys and Noxians are bad! Runeterra: Wow Noxians are good guys! Comics: Wait Zeds a good guy? Lore: Well we are all bad but also good in our own ways.
Not being offensive on any of these countries but i think, demacia portrays america... It's a great country but they look down on certain people. While Noxus is Russia(?) where strength is everything. Just a shower thought. Haven't read a lot of Runeterra Comics.
Demacia is like a western country, while Noxus being kinda USSR-ish, Ionia is obviously the east combined, and Shurima presents a mix between ancient Egypt and Babylonia I guess. The smaller factions represent the lesser powers , but they are too many for me to write
@@Lyrxen Saying Demacia is bad wouldn't be wrong. It is corrupt, full of hypocrisy and ignorance. Some aristocrats (like Lux) are mages, but hide it and their fight for justice and order is nothing but. Sylas is the byproduct of what hate born out of misinformation can lead to.
@@nicolasnguyen9481 You mean the fight when they were in a forest? They're characters from Zaun and cards from Legends of Runeterra, the boy is Boomcrew Rookie and the girl is Zaunite Urchin.
A Dandy Gnar, In Space she’s already in the card game and as far I know she is not the slave from the video. She has a really good series of lore if you enjoy reading!
Can we take a second to talk about those two kids that helped Darius? They both have such awesome designs and I’d love to see them in league. Such a unique character design idea. Two kids, sling shots, and BOMBS.
The card names are booncrew rookie (boy) and zaunite urchin (girl) they are both PnZ cards and they actually interract with each other on the board which is cute :3
@Vick Nad yeah, its a cool concept for a champ, like two people as one champ ya know. You can control one person and the other one follows. Im not sure about this actually lmao.
Noxus invades Ionia Ionia barely manages to drive Noxus away Riot Games: "Let's make an inspiring cinematic of the underdog Darius (trying to destroy Zed's homeland)"
@Amirus Instead of Darius, Garen? It would be epicless , he doesnt have such a power like Darius (I not meaning they strenght just something like "wow" when u watching them) for example his "Fear" cinematic was great. About who is good guy? This doesnt look like invasion for first place, its look rather like duel between them and later fight between armies so talking about who is the good one is such a nonsense.
You gotta remember that despite Zed looking like the "bad guy", he chose his path because he wanted to protect his home from Noxian invaders, and Darius is, well, a Noxian.
I don't think this trailer has anything to do with lore. I mean, demacia allied with Noxus and piltover/Zaun vs Ionia allied with the shadow isles? Doesn't sound to me like its lore friendly.
It's actually not lore all of this, but Ayachi is right. The first scene could happen because Ionia and Noxus are in a constant war and, well, Zed is from Ionia, and Darius from Noxus.
Having watched my fair share of animated stuff this is such a masterpiece on so many levels. Riot must have a culture that supports creativity because these art styles are so unique and are executed at such a high level...I mean the animated part was already amazing and that these scenes coincide with the song perfectly is on a whole other level. My favorite is 1:53 with the kids. I can write a paper on what spoke to me during the next 10 seconds from that point, but I'll just say it was a great choice when they were falling from the tree to phase out the background and focus on the two...which the bond they must share and their facial expressions indicates they are also having fun...as long as they're together.
@@hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm6671 i think they means its really good... because it. is and the motion frame is just an animation style (one that looks phenomenal when done well like this)
As someone who has never played league of legends or runeterra, this is such a beautiful piece of art. The stylistic choices made are amazing, how could anyone just not appreciate this.
True lol but I think it was very long in artistic attempt. It's just artistic to give him such long red cape, expressive and goes along with this full-of-emotions song.
he isn't really about the killing. he's about the winning. there's an interaction with the Trifarian Restless that illustrates it perfectly: "Here to watch the bloodshed Sir?" "Here to win the war, soldier."

This is the future for Riot, and we shall cheers up to their epic, beautiful, fantasy, And MOBA of the year. Very great cinematic and we hyped their creation.
hilarious.... I get tears every time hahahha
Agreed! I absolutely adore all the cinematics riot games puts out
for me personally, its the feeling of my passion for the game and the world being understood and materialized in front of my eyes. in some weird way it feels like a dream coming true.
marko glisic right?
1:50 These 2 can actually be an insane design for a champion. Basically a brother and sister playing together Switching between eachother. Imagine if basically willump could ride nunu and swap around using different spells Similar to how say Elise swaps forms but instead its these 2 kids. And swap back and forth. That could be how they work. They seem to have some abilities sorta teased. That would be an insane champ design to see. Unique and interesting.

Darius with Dead Man's Plate WierdChamp
Moonton: write it down, write it down
I love that they're moving more towards showing Darius' good side and not just having him be some murderous brute that people think he is, which is the exact opposite of what he is. Darius values honor and peoples' individuality, which is entirely what the "new" Noxus is built upon.
He values honor and individuality AND he brutally murders honorable individuals who stand in his way.
@@firstlast-gh9ig it's not murder if you are in a war
Even when the Shadow's Order r the bad guys, Zed always protected Jonia from Noxus, and you can see it when you read Kayn story.
there are no "good" regions. all of the non-island regions claim to represent something good but all have a bad side.
@@LeandroMessiah Of course it is. Wars are mass murders.
That demacian charge though, with Cithria, that was a golden intense moment. and that music to back it up i can see why we shed a tear. beauty
thats not cithria, nor is it demacian, if you watch the noxus legends of runterra storey you see she was a liberated slave from a surrounding kingdom of noxus
@@alexdgod1106 that IS cithria lol, if u played the game, you would know. the one youre referring to is trifarian gloryseeker, different from cithiria the bold.

@@Thesmus you do realize this is suppose to be the invasion of Ionia and Darius is noxan which is mortal enemies with Demacia which cithra is a knight of Demacia so if this is cithra you are telling me cithra and her legion betrayed garen and demecia to assist Darius and noxus with the invasion of Ionia?
Alexdgod lol yeah it doesn’t make sense to the lore but that’s legends of runeterra for you. You can have demacian and noxus units working together in one deck. That’s the point of this one
No one:
Zed: Defending Ionian lands
Darius: Summons demacian back-up.
LMFAO
AHAH the non-sense of the game :D
@@Jay-eo4pm wheres the funny
Were still not sure if this is canon
people either can't take a joke and/or doesnt understand the cinematic. It is not canon, Darius and Zed represents the player of the game and their moves/cards they pick in the game.
Those 2 kids have to become 2 ranged marksman, so they can both go dragon lane together
That's actually Zaunite Urchin and Boomcrew Rookie
Necrit:
THIS is canon! and THIS is canon! EVERYTHING IS CANON!
but it's not canon :c
too bad its not:(
He's gonna get mad this time, they drove him to madness the poor dude
Aimen Sadouki “This is what happens when you make everything canon”?
Too bad Necrit sucks
This is from my perspective.
In Game: Wow the Demacians are good guys and Noxians are bad!
Runeterra: Wow Noxians are good guys!
Comics: Wait Zeds a good guy?
Lore: Well we are all bad but also good in our own ways.
in lore Demacia is actually bad guy sees how Sylas being treated as a mage.
@@bruce4551 I wouldn't say Demacia is bad, and neither is Noxus. Both of them have their good side and bad, just like real life.
Not being offensive on any of these countries but i think, demacia portrays america... It's a great country but they look down on certain people. While Noxus is Russia(?) where strength is everything.
Just a shower thought.
Haven't read a lot of Runeterra Comics.
Demacia is like a western country, while Noxus being kinda USSR-ish, Ionia is obviously the east combined, and Shurima presents a mix between ancient Egypt and Babylonia I guess. The smaller factions represent the lesser powers , but they are too many for me to write
@@Lyrxen Saying Demacia is bad wouldn't be wrong. It is corrupt, full of hypocrisy and ignorance. Some aristocrats (like Lux) are mages, but hide it and their fight for justice and order is nothing but. Sylas is the byproduct of what hate born out of misinformation can lead to.
Zed: Doth mother know you wear-eth her drapes ?

Can we take a second to talk about those two kids that helped Darius? They both have such awesome designs and I’d love to see them in league. Such a unique character design idea. Two kids, sling shots, and BOMBS.

Riot Games: "Let's make an inspiring cinematic of the underdog Darius (trying to destroy Zed's homeland)"
fully agree, thats so annoying
And it's your story or what? bcs I don't understand the purpose of your comment. Get a life nerd.
@Amirus Its not like the entire trailer is actually a representation of LoR, and not lore related, right?
@Amirus Instead of Darius, Garen? It would be epicless , he doesnt have such a power like Darius (I not meaning they strenght just something like "wow" when u watching them) for example his "Fear" cinematic was great. About who is good guy? This doesnt look like invasion for first place, its look rather like duel between them and later fight between armies so talking about who is the good one is such a nonsense.
Riot Games: "Darius recieves help from demacia and piltover/zaun." (i just commented for the fun)
Me who just summoned Cithria the Bold.
The dude who has Recall: Big brain time boi
You gotta remember that despite Zed looking like the "bad guy", he chose his path because he wanted to protect his home from Noxian invaders, and Darius is, well, a Noxian.
fighting alongside Demacia, makes sense
Stfu simp
I don't think this trailer has anything to do with lore.
I mean, demacia allied with Noxus and piltover/Zaun vs Ionia allied with the shadow isles?
Doesn't sound to me like its lore friendly.
It's actually not lore all of this, but Ayachi is right. The first scene could happen because Ionia and Noxus are in a constant war and, well, Zed is from Ionia, and Darius from Noxus.
@@wigfrid6126 yeah but only that part, nothing else in this scenario makes sense lorewise.
Having watched my fair share of animated stuff this is such a masterpiece on so many levels. Riot must have a culture that supports creativity because these art styles are so unique and are executed at such a high level...I mean the animated part was already amazing and that these scenes coincide with the song perfectly is on a whole other level.
My favorite is 1:53 with the kids. I can write a paper on what spoke to me during the next 10 seconds from that point, but I'll just say it was a great choice when they were falling from the tree to phase out the background and focus on the two...which the bond they must share and their facial expressions indicates they are also having fun...as long as they're together.
my thoughts exactly, this is so good!
And when the grenade is about to go off, his first priority is to protect her potentially at the cost of his own arms instead of running away
When you can’t compare this cinematic because its on next level shit
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to look like that, similar to what they did with Annie's cinematic.
