There was a Yordle that was a balance nightmare : Poppy. Before her "anti-dash" rework and because of her ultimate she was either useless or absolutly unfair depending of the current patch.
I DIDN'T NOTICE THOSE THINGS THAT YOU SAID IN RECENT YEARS WHILE PLAYING LEAUGE OF LEGENDS NOT UNTIL I WATCH THIS VIDEO OF YOURS ABOUT YORDLES. NICE. YOU HAVE A VERY BRIEF EXPLANATION ABOUT THEM IN GAME IN REGARDS TO THEIR LORE. THANK YOU FOR THIS VID. I MISS PLAYING LEAUGE IN PC.
"Aside from Fizz everyone of them exudes psychological pressure" I don't know about you Vars but when a Fizz runs at me with R I get Vietnam Flashbacks
Kled main here, I'm a little confused by one part of the video. Are you suggesting there's something to this game other than killing every trespasser on my land?
Short answer: Riot tends to design yordles for roles in which they are supposed to be annoying rather consistently, which has made it easy to hate yordles collectively
@@user-gm4kv2my4u Hi I'm from 7 months in the future and this aged like milk! He's beyond annoying and is currently in a state of "Leona, but he actually can do damage"
👀 Ngl the longer videos are great to listen to on commutes and stuff. The graphic information presented is always a bonus but with how information is presented, I can easily listen while doing other things. Great video. We need MORE YORDELS
@@martinkikic3559 i heard that you guys love how the most annoying champions are the yordles, but have you guys ever heard of how the most annoying yordles in the games are champions?
It's not everytime I see a full team comp of Yordles in a game but when it happens, it's always loads of fun whether you are in their team or against them.
I personally love the part yordles play in league, their design, gameplay and aesthetics really add a creative twist to the traditional 'whimsical fairy tale creatures' seen in other games
I also like that they are just like most creatures from Runeterra, they can be damaged, twisted and used (like Veigar), they seem adorable and docile, but Teemo is basically a scout assassin, Tristana a gunner and Lulu has done some shit. They can think by themselves, instead of following the flow of their nature too, as we've seen with Vex.
cant wait to see your take on the void. probably the most unique out of all the region in its own weird way. because while all the other have better fleshed out characters and cultures the void is only seen through its interaction with these other regions, plus that interaction is always as an invasive force. and i do mean force. its not an empire come to take you land like noxus, just a presence with no identifiable motives other than to consume and destroy until nothing is left but it. that in addition to how endlessly varied, adaptable and persistent it is makes it the most effective horror on runeterra for me
Imo Veigar is fine, he has a big fuck-you-in-particular button, but being deleted 100-0 by that feels less infuriating than losing a third of my HP to a Teemo shroom
Yeah, and though she is not a yordle, yuumi is the pet of one, so she kind of absorbed some of the passive irritation factor. Like I can see you. Why can’t I hit you you annoying cat.
@@minimoYT Veigar's ult isn't why he is annoying. Event Horizon is a "no fly zone" for the entire enemy team. Its cooldown is too short for the zoning/pressure it applies.
"What's that, must have been fun? Well, what sort o' stories you been told? No it weren't fun, thank you very much! He's a malign little terror, that one, and you'll be lucky if you never cross path with 'im in all your lives!" "And just when I was startin' to give up all hope... He appeared. All I seen at first were those two big, round eyes, pale as death, as he swam towards me. Them circling sharks took off right away, and no mistake, they was a-feared of him, see, just as you all should be" "And all the time, I hears 'im laughing. Still makes me skin crawl, just to think of it" - One-Legged Lars talking about Fizz
With Tristana being the first character I learned to love the game on, I decided I'd learn all the Yordles. I love these guys, and have so far only had issue learning to like Corki.
Word of advice, build sorcs, rockets go pew pew. In more technical terms he's really good at playing the quote on quote neutral game because you can chill back and go pew pew with rockets. Its a lot like playing a poke mage like Xerath and the likes. When it comes to his package. Idk, I usually have it time out on me because my soloq team doesn't understand that its basically rumble's ultimate with a displacement effect. But I find the most effective way to use it is either in conjunction with another diver and you dogpile the back line charge up the minigun and just try to do as much damage as possible; if you get in danger you can just use your regular W to get out. Another way to use it is to just pick people with it, and lastly you can use it to deny the enemy team but cutting off certain areas, like river entrances. I also don't understand how his minigun works, I think it shreds armor or mr, I usually just point it at the minion wave. But remember, rocket go pew pew. Build AD, get sorcs, go pew pew.
Ladies and gentlemen there's only one Poppy I miss her to death and i was a happy man. The old poppy before they change her to this thing. I miss the days when I would see another poppy on the other side. And challenge them to a fight to see who is the better poppy. there will be no other champions where I can drop their health and one combo while their team can't do anything to me. She was hard to play but practice makes perfect. Rest in peace my old favorite poppy. And my favorite skin on her was Scarlett Hammer Poppy.
@@snzelay001 well (speaking as a Poppy main here), as much as I miss old poppy too, you guys got to admit that new poppy is SO fun to play, while being really strong but not overpowered as old poppy
@@matinhosmatos I understand she is really fun but she was the only yordle that was an assassin. If riot ever makes a yordle assassin. It will put a smile on my face. Yordles are my favorite race. I just love the chaos they bring to the game.
Yordles were meant to represent general goblins but they were meant to be nicer than them bc off that it ended up being more hated than goblins themselves bc even tho goblins are annoying generally you expect from them bc most off them carry that greedy and evil personality, yordles however aren't like goblins at all they are nice and kind yet kept that annoying part off that i think personally that is the reason yordles are hated more
I reaaaally love this format and the region analysis on how it represents a playstyle. I think you might have mentioned how Sylas is a mage, but fights head on all demacianlike. And I'm really interested on how the subversion of a regional archetype or a subversion of a rol archetype because of the region is handeled. Keep going :)
Regions don't represent a play style. You know who else is aDamacia champion? Lux. And Morgana. And Kayle. And Lucian. You see any similarities between them and Garen or Sylas?
@@ziglaus true but some lore is incorporated in kits like Garen having a high base mr because Demacia has an anti mage rule or freljordians having some sort of slow, cc within their kits... things like that
@@xavierwilliams4492 i don't think that is a thing... True, most of Freljord champions have CC/slow, but that is true for Shuriman and Shadow Isles champions as well. And even Demacia has Fiora, Galio, Jarvan, Lux, Morgana... I think this whole series is a mistake, and just an exercise in confirmation bias and cherrypicking examples
It’s not a region but I’d love to see you talk about darkin. They have always been some of my favorite champs in the game, since there are so few of them they might need to be paired with other champions, so maybe ascended? If I remember correctly, darkin are corrupted ascended but I also don’t know if their kits would be close enough to make sense in the same video
I guess the only real theme behind all of the Darkin is that they are bound to a certain weapon type. Maybe he would talk about how their weapons affect their gameplay? Like Aatrox is a sort of blood god who revels in up close battle, and Varus is something of an assassin who slaughters the enemy with a single arrow. No idea what Rhaast's deal is tho, he seems to just kinda... exist. Now that I'm thinking about it, why is it that Rhaast is attached to Kayn, Varus is restrained by the two lovers whose bodies he took, but Aatrox is just Aatrox? I assume it's because he was the first one to come out and Riot's improved their storyline since then but from a lore perspective it doesn't make much sense.
@@utelvescaro1998 Aatrox works like Rhaast as they are trapped in a weapon. For Aatrox, he is trapped in the god-killng blade. But unlike Rhaast who found a vessel that can withstand and even resist his power in Kayn, Aatrox's vessels are always weaker than Aatrox himself (because he's just THAT powerful) so he always ends up corrupting the vessel and when the vessel dies he can't do anything but wait until the next fool who picks up hus blade.
I’m fairly new to league and your videos have been so entertaining to watch and I just wanna say thanks for making such enjoyable and digestible content even for new players like myself.
Since Vex's tale outed the Yordles as sort of specs of magic given form, I wonder if they take after the places and culture they've been inhabiting or if instead they were already born showing that aspect and just feel a natural attraction to the zones that gave them form. (Vex seems to imply the second one)
its seems that each year, a few champions are made by Following the LORE of the game ( like Yone last year, Viego, and a bit of Vex this year ), so having these kinds of videos can make it easier for people to know what to expect when a new champion is announced. I personally love seeing a bit of LORE here and there as League develops it and turns RUneterra in a really interesting place, with its own history, cultures and challenges
@@WolffyChanTV Lore wise we dont know anything about Amumu, Who is he? Why is he like that and where does he come from. We have Yordels in Shurima tho, Rumble is currently in Shurima too. I was just joking about the video and the statement
I honestly just have a soft-spot for goofballs like them, i can't bring myself to hate them. My all-time favorite character from Runeterra is Veigar, and i adore every single one of them Yordles
This was definitely a welcome change in pace, also hands down the funniest video you've made about league recently. So please continue this absolute masterpiece!
nice, i love seeing more lore explanations and insights! its cool to see how they have a place in the game as well, this is a great addition to the other channels you mentioned! cant wait to see how the lore gets a spotlight in the arcane series :D
You may want to do Noxus next. Basically everywhere else is fighting them, so you’d have to refer back to Noxian champions a lot in little lore explanations.
What's interesting with yordles is that their concept is actually surprisingly popular, because for example, Warcraft has gnomes, goblins and dwarves that are pretty similar to yordles (goblins and gnomes are mechanics/inventors like Heimerdinger and Rumble, while dwarves are small but tough fighters like Kled and Poppy). And of course, DotA has a set of heroes that mimic this theme of "small, mischievous, crazy, but also surprisingly powerful little humanoid creatures", though not all of these heroes belong into the same race (for example, Meepo and Dark Willow are two heroes that kinda have this yordle fantasy, despite not being in the same race as Tinker or Techies). But most of what you've said to yordles applies to these heroes too, as they're mostly anti carries with very unique kits, but also chaotic and inconsistent gameplay patterns. And they're also the most annoying pieces of sh*ts that you will ever face, which anyone who had to play a 60 minute game due to Techies' insane stalling will understand. I really like the fact that these types of characters are present in League too, even though I don't exactly main any of them (I have Veigar, Ziggs and Yuumi at mastery 5, but that's about it), but they definitely have a place in the game, as it's pretty cool to explore each and every different class and region with their weird niche. But there are still a few regions and roles that don't have a yordle representing them. The regions are Shurmina, Ixtal, Targon and the Void. And the roles are Catcher, Diver, Juggernaut and Vanguard (if Amumu doesn't count as a yordle). It's kinda funny how there are four regions and four roles left. If you'll ever need yet another idea for a series, you could maybe try to create some yordle champions that occupy these roles and regions yourself. I'd really like to see what you could come up with, especially for a Void or a Juggernaut yorlde. Something that I hope you'll touch on is champions that represent multiple regions. Of course a lot of yordles belong to that category (Poppy, Kled, Heimerdinger, Gnar, etc), but there are also plenty of non yordle champions like Samira who is a champion of Shurima and Noxus, Taric who is a champion of Demacia and Targon, Riven who is a champion of Ionia and Noxus, and so on and so on. Having champions be of multiple regions is a pretty cool idea, and I feel like it's been explored pretty well. As for the series, I kinda like. The only problem with it is that most of the things you'll mention will be somewhat obvious, but there are definitely a ton of perspectives and opinions on each of the regions, and I'm pretty interested to hear yours.
I genuinely love Yordles they are some of favorites in the entire game I love when ever a new Yordle is added and desperately want Corki to get an update so he can be more inline with the rest of the Yordles
Ionia is the most hated for me personally. You get so many of the unbalancable nightmares and frustrating to fight to fight champs in one region (irelia, Akali, yasuo, yone, and zed)
Most yordles are situational with their kits or abilities. Like, Veigar stopping dashes, but being useless vs blinks (flash, e.g.) or vs fast moving targets (as cage has a delay). Or, Teemo being a problem for champions reliant on autoattacks, but pretty useless vs casters, or Vex and Poppy punishing mobility in their own way, but losing damage and utility if no dashes are used against them. That is why yordles are annoying, because in particular situation yordles are pretty much acting as anticarries, as Vars said. But, if circumstances are not perfect, yordles are never too strong. Unless Lulu starts spamming laughter. That is hellforged annihilation nuclear device on steroids. Also, I was the person to place 666-th like, so it all adds up.
@@ziglaus I didn't talk about being situational as a defining feature, but the reason why yordles are somewhat hated by some, yet others are fine with fluffy goofballs: yordle annoyance is situational
I feel like it's not really a "Yordle," problem, it's just that there are a lot of annoying characters who happen to be Yordles (Fizz, Veigar, Teemo, I don't think I need to go on.) There are also a lot of Yordles that I haven't heard many people complaining about, if at all. Kled, Gnar (didn't even know he was a Yordle,) Kennen, Corki, Rumble, etc. Honestly, Kled is one of my favorite champions, even though I don't play Top lane and never get to use him. It's also a fairly small sample size as well, and sadly most of them suck to play against so Yordles as a whole get a bad reputation. Also, I don't really agree with your assessment that it's more annoying getting killed by a tiny non-threatening character than a chonker like Malphite. Maybe it's just me, but if I get CC chained by a Cho'Gath, Malphite, Maokai, whatever, I don't think to myself, "well, that's fair, they're pretty big boys," I say, "this game is dogshit and I'm uninstalling." Good video, I'm excited to see what could come next, those are just my opinions.
Fizz wasnt a yordle till the TFT lore re-write. He was some fish troglodyte, but now he has some yordle DNA. So as much as I hate him, I have to love him nowZ
I am a Yordle main, and what i have to say, i don't really care about their gameplay, i just like how fucking cute they are. And i really like people get mad at me when i play Teemo xD
Good vid. The lore of League and its characters is a big part of what drew me to the game. I'm also a big fan of Skyen and Necrit, so more content like this is very much of interest to me!
i fucking love yordles! yes please can we get more of them? id like one thats a dedicated jungler. i know some of the yordles have been adapted to/ used in the jungle . like poppy os fine but it feels like she was more designed as a top laner due to her %health q and things. also theres no yordles in ixtal, mount targon, or shurima.
Poppy main here, tbh I think she excels far more as a jungler than a toplaner. Her ability to gank and tower dive is top tier, super underplayed champ for how powerful she can be.
Maybe I'm just biased, but I don't get the impression that yordles are, by and large, hated by the community. There are plenty of champions like Yasuo, Yone, Viego, Irelia, Akali, Draven, and (pre-nerf) Zoe that receive way more hate on a consistent basis. (Yes, Teemo is by far one of the most hated champions in the game and rightfully so.) If anything, I'd say Ionian champions are the most despised, in no small part due to their insane amount of dashes and mobility. Then again, it probably differs from region to region.
We recent participated in clash and I was (as always in Tank duty) but this time I was on Poppy. It was funnily enough just as this video says there to annoy the opponent by disturbing their play rather than actually tanking them like a conventional tank would do. To elaborate, we were against a Shen, Briar, and Ziggs. Whenever they try to engage us with either Briar or Shen, I chuck them back from whence they come from, throwing a wrench to their supposed numbers advantage. It was so fun, devilishly fun!
I wouldn't really call Veigar a trickster. Or rather I'd say he's more akin to a timebomb. He has infinite scaling, insane AP ratios, and what's often dubbed the "Delete Key" in his Ultimate all alongside his Event Horizon which is one of the best Zoning/AoE CC tools in the game.
Not gonna lie, this was your best video. It was refreshing with not that much lore, covering up all of the yordles. As a sugestion, you can add some interesting skill interactions of one or two of them, just for some flavour, sometime, maybe. Good job!

@@utelvescaro1998 Aatrox works like Rhaast as they are trapped in a weapon. For Aatrox, he is trapped in the god-killng blade. But unlike Rhaast who found a vessel that can withstand and even resist his power in Kayn, Aatrox's vessels are always weaker than Aatrox himself (because he's just THAT powerful) so he always ends up corrupting the vessel and when the vessel dies he can't do anything but wait until the next fool who picks up hus blade.
Can I just say your voice is really soothing. Especially in this video with the music
Such an amazing topic for YORDLES-LOVER like me. They're such a group of colorful champion in this game.
This channel deserves 2 million subs!
I’m fairly new to league and your videos have been so entertaining to watch and I just wanna say thanks for making such enjoyable and digestible content even for new players like myself.
Since Vex's tale outed the Yordles as sort of specs of magic given form, I wonder if they take after the places and culture they've been inhabiting or if instead they were already born showing that aspect and just feel a natural attraction to the zones that gave them form. (Vex seems to imply the second one)
Yes!! Can't wait for it, and the region videos! Great work vars
its seems that each year, a few champions are made by Following the LORE of the game ( like Yone last year, Viego, and a bit of Vex this year ), so having these kinds of videos can make it easier for people to know what to expect when a new champion is announced.
I personally love seeing a bit of LORE here and there as League develops it and turns RUneterra in a really interesting place, with its own history, cultures and challenges
3:55 "I think we have a Yordle in every major region of Runterra". Shurima left the chat.
Laugh in Zigg and his Follower
Isn't amumu a yordle?
@@WolffyChanTV Lore wise we dont know anything about Amumu, Who is he? Why is he like that and where does he come from. We have Yordels in Shurima tho, Rumble is currently in Shurima too. I was just joking about the video and the statement
deff hope to see you continue this series.
I honestly just have a soft-spot for goofballs like them, i can't bring myself to hate them. My all-time favorite character from Runeterra is Veigar, and i adore every single one of them Yordles
Yordles are just rats
This was definitely a welcome change in pace, also hands down the funniest video you've made about league recently. So please continue this absolute masterpiece!
nice, i love seeing more lore explanations and insights! its cool to see how they have a place in the game as well, this is a great addition to the other channels you mentioned! cant wait to see how the lore gets a spotlight in the arcane series :D
Yordles are my favorite champions!!!! I love these furballs so much, and also the ones that don't have fur at all (Fizz my beloved). Amazing video :D
I absolutely love your videos! Beatifully crafted and perfectly explained! Always keen to see more!
oh, if someone ask's "what's a yordle?"
just tell them, "short chaotic magical beings"
I loved this video. I love Yordles. Kled has one of the most immersive character experiences in the game. It's so fun. Amazing game design.
This was fun. Yordles are my favorite part of league lore, by far
all the love for Yordles!
9:39 as a Kled main myself, that made me laugh out loud for how much it's accurate to most of my games.
I would love to see a shuriman yordle. Amumu could be one if his lore got changed.
I see Yordles as a good conceptual example of Riots abilities and narrative focus in League.
You may want to do Noxus next. Basically everywhere else is fighting them, so you’d have to refer back to Noxian champions a lot in little lore explanations.
What's interesting with yordles is that their concept is actually surprisingly popular, because for example, Warcraft has gnomes, goblins and dwarves that are pretty similar to yordles (goblins and gnomes are mechanics/inventors like Heimerdinger and Rumble, while dwarves are small but tough fighters like Kled and Poppy).
And of course, DotA has a set of heroes that mimic this theme of "small, mischievous, crazy, but also surprisingly powerful little humanoid creatures", though not all of these heroes belong into the same race (for example, Meepo and Dark Willow are two heroes that kinda have this yordle fantasy, despite not being in the same race as Tinker or Techies).
But most of what you've said to yordles applies to these heroes too, as they're mostly anti carries with very unique kits, but also chaotic and inconsistent gameplay patterns. And they're also the most annoying pieces of sh*ts that you will ever face, which anyone who had to play a 60 minute game due to Techies' insane stalling will understand.
I really like the fact that these types of characters are present in League too, even though I don't exactly main any of them (I have Veigar, Ziggs and Yuumi at mastery 5, but that's about it), but they definitely have a place in the game, as it's pretty cool to explore each and every different class and region with their weird niche.
But there are still a few regions and roles that don't have a yordle representing them.
The regions are Shurmina, Ixtal, Targon and the Void. And the roles are Catcher, Diver, Juggernaut and Vanguard (if Amumu doesn't count as a yordle).
It's kinda funny how there are four regions and four roles left. If you'll ever need yet another idea for a series, you could maybe try to create some yordle champions that occupy these roles and regions yourself. I'd really like to see what you could come up with, especially for a Void or a Juggernaut yorlde.
Something that I hope you'll touch on is champions that represent multiple regions. Of course a lot of yordles belong to that category (Poppy, Kled, Heimerdinger, Gnar, etc), but there are also plenty of non yordle champions like Samira who is a champion of Shurima and Noxus, Taric who is a champion of Demacia and Targon, Riven who is a champion of Ionia and Noxus, and so on and so on. Having champions be of multiple regions is a pretty cool idea, and I feel like it's been explored pretty well.
As for the series, I kinda like. The only problem with it is that most of the things you'll mention will be somewhat obvious, but there are definitely a ton of perspectives and opinions on each of the regions, and I'm pretty interested to hear yours.
I genuinely love Yordles they are some of favorites in the entire game I love when ever a new Yordle is added and desperately want Corki to get an update so he can be more inline with the rest of the Yordles
What corki lore
really loved this. it was different from other things i have seen till now
“Yes, yes, I know I start a new series every day”.
Did u just read my mind?
This was the best series of this entire channel, wish you had made a video on Targon/Aspects
Ionia is the most hated for me personally. You get so many of the unbalancable nightmares and frustrating to fight to fight champs in one region (irelia, Akali, yasuo, yone, and zed)
Bullshitnia, the land of edgy broken characters
Master Q would like a word with you once he has 3 items.
No wonder Noxus got shit on.
That’s why my main created gas to attack them
@@danchen10491 SINGED GAMING
"We have a yordle in every region."
The Glorious Empire of Shurima: Am I a joke to you?
Most yordles are situational with their kits or abilities. Like, Veigar stopping dashes, but being useless vs blinks (flash, e.g.) or vs fast moving targets (as cage has a delay). Or, Teemo being a problem for champions reliant on autoattacks, but pretty useless vs casters, or Vex and Poppy punishing mobility in their own way, but losing damage and utility if no dashes are used against them. That is why yordles are annoying, because in particular situation yordles are pretty much acting as anticarries, as Vars said. But, if circumstances are not perfect, yordles are never too strong. Unless Lulu starts spamming laughter. That is hellforged annihilation nuclear device on steroids. Also, I was the person to place 666-th like, so it all adds up.
Being mostly situational isn't really their defining characteristic, since 70% of champions are situational in some way.
@@ziglaus I didn't talk about being situational as a defining feature, but the reason why yordles are somewhat hated by some, yet others are fine with fluffy goofballs: yordle annoyance is situational
Round of applause for such a beautiful video which is so well made
I love the yordles and am slowly getting them all
Vars: none of the yordles are a balancing nightmare.
Riot: are you challanging me?
I GM dnd, and actually imported Yordles as a race in the feywild...... I made sure my players find them equally as annoying as we do
Give them all hold person or charm. I bet players will love going against them.
I'm afraid of a fed Veigar just praying not to be one-shot by a press of a button
Void next please! love the void has a wide array of characters!
I have been getting into lol lore lately it's actually really interesting so I love the new series idea
I feel like it's not really a "Yordle," problem, it's just that there are a lot of annoying characters who happen to be Yordles (Fizz, Veigar, Teemo, I don't think I need to go on.) There are also a lot of Yordles that I haven't heard many people complaining about, if at all. Kled, Gnar (didn't even know he was a Yordle,) Kennen, Corki, Rumble, etc. Honestly, Kled is one of my favorite champions, even though I don't play Top lane and never get to use him. It's also a fairly small sample size as well, and sadly most of them suck to play against so Yordles as a whole get a bad reputation. Also, I don't really agree with your assessment that it's more annoying getting killed by a tiny non-threatening character than a chonker like Malphite. Maybe it's just me, but if I get CC chained by a Cho'Gath, Malphite, Maokai, whatever, I don't think to myself, "well, that's fair, they're pretty big boys," I say, "this game is dogshit and I'm uninstalling." Good video, I'm excited to see what could come next, those are just my opinions.
dude kled is so bad to play against. just when you think you've killed him he gets skarrl back and kills you
Fizz wasnt a yordle till the TFT lore re-write. He was some fish troglodyte, but now he has some yordle DNA. So as much as I hate him, I have to love him nowZ
This will probably become my new favorite series of yours
I am a Yordle main, and what i have to say, i don't really care about their gameplay, i just like how fucking cute they are.
And i really like people get mad at me when i play Teemo xD
Super excited about the void with the bunch of monster champions, love the video dude!
Finally man vars must be tired of seeing the yordle comments
Good vid. The lore of League and its characters is a big part of what drew me to the game. I'm also a big fan of Skyen and Necrit, so more content like this is very much of interest to me!
i fucking love yordles! yes please can we get more of them? id like one thats a dedicated jungler. i know some of the yordles have been adapted to/ used in the jungle . like poppy os fine but it feels like she was more designed as a top laner due to her %health q and things. also theres no yordles in ixtal, mount targon, or shurima.
Teemo jungle
Poppy main here, tbh I think she excels far more as a jungler than a toplaner. Her ability to gank and tower dive is top tier, super underplayed champ for how powerful she can be.
This video is very chill
As a veigar main it is funny to watch it
Maybe I'm just biased, but I don't get the impression that yordles are, by and large, hated by the community. There are plenty of champions like Yasuo, Yone, Viego, Irelia, Akali, Draven, and (pre-nerf) Zoe that receive way more hate on a consistent basis. (Yes, Teemo is by far one of the most hated champions in the game and rightfully so.) If anything, I'd say Ionian champions are the most despised, in no small part due to their insane amount of dashes and mobility. Then again, it probably differs from region to region.
Would definitely love to see more of this series
Would you consider Amumu a yordle ? Thematically, he seems very much in touch with the "I'm not letting you play the game" vibe.
His yordal yes
They changed his lore to possibly being a yordle. His model however is very yordle like, big head and 4 fingers.
We recent participated in clash and I was (as always in Tank duty) but this time I was on Poppy. It was funnily enough just as this video says there to annoy the opponent by disturbing their play rather than actually tanking them like a conventional tank would do. To elaborate, we were against a Shen, Briar, and Ziggs. Whenever they try to engage us with either Briar or Shen, I chuck them back from whence they come from, throwing a wrench to their supposed numbers advantage. It was so fun, devilishly fun!
Yordles are very cute...until I remember the shit they do to me on the rift
I think this will be one of the best series you’ve come up with so please keep it up I’m super hyped for you to cover Ionia noxus or shurima
Aight, hear me out, an event were, for a week, you can't play as a yordle. In normal they're disable and in aram they're out of the champion pool.
Noooo let me play fizz in peace
@@spoderbas5550 go play ranked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
wow you are actually spot on
We are not kids, so we hate kidish characters.
This discussion was great, Vars! I hope to see more videos like this.
I love most of the yordles except corki, if your temmate's a corki, just dodge. Hes gonna lose his lane and feed 100%
And when they are on the enemy team It's always an OTP and oneshots everyone :l
@@dontflamemepls7256 lol
5:40 shoutout to the Nami flashing in at low hp
What a homie
Can't wait for the next video to be "Balance: Why does Riot hate it?" Lmao
I wouldn't really call Veigar a trickster. Or rather I'd say he's more akin to a timebomb. He has infinite scaling, insane AP ratios, and what's often dubbed the "Delete Key" in his Ultimate all alongside his Event Horizon which is one of the best Zoning/AoE CC tools in the game.
Already know this title is gonna start fights in the comments... your wrong btw.
background music in this video is so good it kept a happy vibe i liked it
what. The cutest that's for sure.
Lol I love how he completely forgets about Amumu
Great video btw Keep it up Vars, Would love to see a series for this
well this is racism
Good video man! Drinking a cofee in the morning watching this makes me chill for the day! Keep up!
Not gonna lie, this was your best video. It was refreshing with not that much lore, covering up all of the yordles. As a sugestion, you can add some interesting skill interactions of one or two of them, just for some flavour, sometime, maybe. Good job!
Amazing video,yes keep the series running !
"One yordle for every major region."
Shurima and The Void: "Are we a joke to you?"
So good to see my man Kled in every Vars video
Really enjoy all your series please keep releasing.
Loved the video man, hope it will be a series
It's the start of the series but i already can't wait to watch the Ionia episode
Vars: there is a yordle in every main location
Shurima: am i a joke to you?
Would definetely love to see more content like this!
Your analysis is always on point! This and the Vex video definitely convinced me to subscribe. I want more! Keep up the good work
