I really appreciated seeing regular grappling and fighting in a world full of magic and superpowers. I didn't know how refreshing that would be to see and i really appreciate Riot including that.
That's younger Darius in the cinematic, that's why he looks less bulkier and younger. He's still a beast and bigger that 99.99% people irl it's just that in the game he's portrait like an absolute unit.
ya, Darius has a story where Noxus sneakily kill his love or something to keep him ruthless and his response was to get fucking %50 bigger and meaner xD
Bro, thanks for the reaction! I’ve watched so many reactions to this cinematic, especially the Trundle vs. Darius fight, because it’s just so damn good-absolutely cinema. But almost no one seems to understand how BADASS it is for Darius to pick up his True Ice-corrupted axe and wield it long enough to deliver the final blow on Trundle. Most people would die in excruciating pain just from touching a True Ice weapon. It’s insane levels of badassery that most people just don’t get.
No, you're renting. You're not buying ownership, and piracy is literally theft. You're taking a good without paying for it without the permission of the vendor. Gamers are so cringe
@@molsy1768 True, but there have been studies that show the benefits of piracy, specially eith streaming services, (benefit to users of course, companies are the ones who "suffer the most" by just not having too much reveanue, while still having their CEOs relatively wealthy) however we must not forget that piracy is a synthom and not the cause of a greater issue, so by solving the root problem any complain you have would be solved, yet you dont seem to care by calling people "cringe" instead of letting said cringe people suffer alone or trying to explain to them why they are wrong at the very least.
@teotlcipactli7530 really? Theft has benefits for those stealing. Who would have thunk? And I fundamentally reject that piracy is a symptom nonsense. Sure, some players muhbt need to resort to piracy due to geographical restrictions, but the majority of people pirating video games are 25 year old virgins who think the very fact they want a product means they shouldn't have to pay for it. Good attempt at trying to confuse the issue and move the goal posts at the same time though.
@@molsy1768 Befenits for the prices to not go too high, not benefits for the thiefs I mean, are you certain about the demographic¿ Because it really depends of the country as you said, some places have restrictions, others are younh teens that can´t affort and are tempted, and some are adults, but some are definetly older than 25 and have other thing they consider more important to pay, all this is to say that it can´t be as simple as "studip virgins" wich it doesnt matter if they haven´t laid with someone or if they are already parents, irresponsable maybe though not virgins so who cares¿ And I may confused you more than you give me credit to, Isimply disgree with the "if you don´t own it the piracy isnt stealing" because is too simple to be true. However the opposite of that mindset is true, like your rejection to a greater issue that may not have a single or even a proper solution since people would still want a product free regardless, but maybe if, for example, Gatcha mechanics werent in game or people having physical copies of any other game then we could see a decline; same goes for any product, people buy chinesse products of lower quality cause the original has a greater price compared to the money requiered to produce it, fair tactic but leads to piracy being a reasonable evil to deal with
Theory time: My thoughts are that this is a younger Darius, years before the establishment of the Trifarix. Maybe right after he has become the Hand? He will get a new axe. The big beefy one from 2XKO! I also think that the Silken Dance isn't a one time game event, but rather a Black Rose tradition used to conduct sensitive business and scout new possible members. I think Arcane happens much earlier on the timeline than most fans think and that the next show should pick up with Mel and her return to Noxus as matriarch of the Mardardas. Boram Darkwill should still be ruling Noxus, and this should be before the the 1st invasion of Ionia. I think that the item LeBlanc tricks Darkwill into looking for in Ionia is a Darkin weapon and that is what starts the 1st invasion. We know for Legends of Runeterra that there are Darkin weapons in Ionia, and they do technically let you live forever if your bound to them, so..... Singed being a wanted man in Piltover-Zaun has also fled to Noxus, where he will be recruited by their military to make weapons. The main storyline should be the things happening in Noxus before and during the Ionian invasion, Darkwill's fall, and the rise of the Trifarix. I want this to be about 4 seasons. I think Rell should be introduced as Mel's unknown twin! Ambessa should have been the person running the Black Rose's mage School/weapons project. It was a deal she made with LeBlanc in order to add mages into her bloodline. According to the deal, she was to give all arcane gifted children to the Black Rose for training, but she hid Mel's power instead and sent her to Piltover partially for that reason. Mel and Rell, I think that would be interesting. We might get a few scenes of the war because the latter half of this show, Seasons 3 & 4, take place during the Ionian invasion, but it shouldn't really focus on that. The main plot should focus inside the political machinations NoxusI I would have the next show after Noxus, be in Demacia. It would be 5 seasons. S1 would start about a year or so before the Noxus show ends. It would set up characters like Lux, Garen, Jarvan IV, Sylas, and Fiora, as well as have major flashbacks to Targon with the story of Pantheon, Kayle, and Morgana. S2-S4 would address the system of the mageseekers, continue progression of the Kayle/Morgana story, give side stories for Shyvana and Fiddlesticks and show the creation of Galio. S5 would have the full outing of Lux as a mage and the full Mage Rebellion. In the very last episode Jinx would show up to help Demacia rebuild and restructure their society and start to build a life long friendship with Lux. This canonically should start around the same time as the last year of Arcane's story, Outside of flashbacks, this should be about a 5 year story. Sometime after the Noxus show ends, but before the Demacia show does, a theatrical movie release should happen. It should be a story about Jinx in a Bilgewater adventure. That is where she headed after leaving Piltover-Zaun. After a high speed, adrenaline pumping, gun blazing pirate adventure with Miss Fortune, and being tested by Illoai, she should head to Demacia. The events of this movie should happen a few weeks after the events of the Ruin King game. They could introduce Nilah here and coincide a new champion drop ingame with Jack, The Winner! He's a badass Sharkman who made some unknown deal with Tahm Kench. Also, in LoR Miss Fortune has a monkey idol that is stated to have been taken by her form some old enemy. Also, there is a slot machine robot that had a 3 bomb jackpot and actually blew up the 1st time someone hit it. They've since fixed the robot but removed the bomb function.. I think it would be cool if Jinx was the original designer of the robot and made the idol in a buhru temple.
Technically True Ice “frost” And that’s the damage he took. I now really believe that you will die if you try to wield a True Ice weapon when you’re not iceborne.
This all happens 10-20 years before the "main" LoL lore. The invasion of Ionia that gave Raum to Swain (or the other way around, depending on how you wanna look at it) hasn't happened yet. So Rell might not even be alive, there's still a King of Noxus, Kata is a far younger assassin, etc etc.
If you read the text of the new skins we can theorize that Swain sent Katarina after the target which means the skin line is present time, after her comic and alliance with Swain. The Darius one it's 100% in the past.
Darius had on a glove and grab an axe ECHANTED by True Ice, not True Ice itself, and only for a few seconds. If had've held on for any longer, probably would've lost his arm.
It was confirmed by Riot on Reddit that yes this is younger Darius ... honestly this the sigil to me looks like a closed fist, and could be representing his title as Hand of Noxus. We dont know how much younger. As previously it was implied that the First Freljord campaign happened at the end of Darkwills reign, starting around 1-2 years before Swain took over and ending a up to a year after. That said In his comics, by the time of Noxus using Chem weapons in Ionia he already had the scar, so who knows when and what will be changed with him. Katarina seems to have her teleportation daggers, which again raises the specter of parts of her lore being rewritten as in her Comics from 2 years ago she got the daggers 7 years after Swain took over, at the time the Mage Rebelleion started in Demacia. So unless the events of Arcane are happening later than most think(which has a lot of issues for the lore), or LeBlanc is predicting the future, its possible when Kat gets the daggers might be changing. Which I am not happy, because the Comics did a great job of making the Katarina Garen crush-enemy thing cannon
I'm pretty certain they are contemplating a Darkin resurrection... Vladamir's reaction was very strong to "that"... He of all people would know first hand that we do not want to bring any Darkin back. As for which one... I'm not sure... Yes it looks like a blade, but Aatrox's symbolism is much longer and defined.. Maybe the scrolly wall magic is making it intentially difficult to guess?
About Heimer, wasn't there something about that yordles are immortal or something? Like they're just respawn in bandle city. I only heard it in Necrit vid tho so idk
Honestly i thought Darius and Trundle were sparring until Trundle tried to rip his head off with his hands, eh who knows, the whole circle with eye witnesses from both sides screams that it is a show instead of real fight, also that's a very unsecured border for a place were trolls can merely walk trough, also darius didn't kill him nor tried to after Trundle was knocked out which could have been very easy with back up from both sides Im talking out of my ass but it would be funny to see them instead of Bromance a Bro/hate relationship, they detest each other but they love to fight with one another since there's barely anyone who can keep up with both
Well, I only followed the series up to the third episode of the second season and haven't seen any further. I just heard that it was a big flop, so I'm curious. I'll have to catch up when I'm not busy with work and family all the time ^^
ok people keep getting this wrong. darius didnt not touch or wield true ice. it has been explained darius weapon was corrupted by true ice. it doesnt make it true ice. it does give the effect of true ice but at a much lower level. i will give credit to the "technically" but i wanted to jump on this because there are a few out there that keep trying to say darius held a true ice weapon and thats not true.
Twinkified, not bimboficated. Bimbos and Twinks are different. Bimbos are dumb girls with massive assets (Himbos are the male version), while Twinks are skinny guys. Also, give him a break. He'll grow into it.

@@K2niarDneK fun fact, bimbo originally was for males, and the female version would be bimba, but somewhere in 20th century it changed but no one is stopping you from using the old version!
darius is younger, im 99% sure, there are no flags of trifarix yet
He also dosen't have his scar over his left eye yet. So definitely younger.
He has gray hair
@@user-cu3jk6qx5w no he has the scar but its very hard to see

@@aethewulf4787same here. A guy met in high school had a whole patch of grey hair and it wasn't only him his uncle too.

Riot team mentioned this is suppose to be a younger Darius.

darius with taper fade is canon
i can already see it, the scene of mordekaiser ressurection, a great portal open while the song samba de janeiro plays and he comes out of it
I'm confident Darius is younger in this trailer,
But we definitely need to see his BULK arc growing up
as if he needs one, his armor covers most of his muscle definition but he's a fucking unit. I'd be surprised if that man didn't weigh 150kg
I really appreciated seeing regular grappling and fighting in a world full of magic and superpowers. I didn't know how refreshing that would be to see and i really appreciate Riot including that.
Well, Darius is still a "human" afterall.
Trundle uses his Ult, removing 40% of the target's armour 🫡
That's younger Darius in the cinematic, that's why he looks less bulkier and younger. He's still a beast and bigger that 99.99% people irl it's just that in the game he's portrait like an absolute unit.

One good theorie is that her father is an Aspect, bc her powers look a lot like Targon
The first thing that Elise shoots at Katarina isn't webs, it's Venom. She spits it through the holes in her mask.
