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.
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.
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
Vars, I have to ask; what's the bgm you used in this video? I've heard it before, and it really rubs me the right way, I just can't put my finger as to what the song's from. Needless to say, another good video to add to the list :3
Actually a note on yordle’s appearance. The whole animalistic thing actually appears to also be related to male and female differences. The females tend to be more clean and less furry looking, meanwhile on the male side you have complete fuzzballs like heimerdinger and ziggs
I want to see more videos like this. You forgot to mention, yordles also represent the regions in which they are located. Poppy parodies demacia and Kled noxus and so on.
We don't have a Yordle for Shurima (Amumu isn't considered a Yordle anymore), Ixtal, or Targon, nor one corrupted by the Void. Neverthless, it's a slow process, likely as to not overpopulate the champion pool with Yordles.
Listen up guys I present to you all: *The year of the Yordles*. As a Filler Yordle main that would be the dream A year where Riot only releases yordle champs (including a yordle darkin), VGU's for Corki and Amumu and ASU's for Kennen, Rumble, Veigar and Teemo.
I personally don’t prefer them cause I just think they’re ugly, but I appreciate the heck out of them and love the lore behind them. They really add a lot to the game. But I love Gnar and his ridiculousness :3
2 things 1st I hate to be this guy but I don't see a comment currently saying there are 17 yordoes and 18 bandle city champions amumu is a yordle it's been confirmed by riot and there is a bandle city cinematic that they actually but him in the background of showing him in bandle city second yummi is from bandle city Nora is yummies master and original owner and user of yummies book
The problem with lots of the ranged Yordles is that there is absolutely no counterplay if you are playing a juggernaut. Teemo can be killed easily by anyone with dashes but it is almost impossible to beat him with Garen. Heimerdinger is another champion who you just can't play against if you don't have any dashes. And then there is Veigar who makes the game unplayable for any melee character. Its just not fun playing against these champions.
I used to think teemo was the most annoying lane and god help me he's annoying but he's not a demon just a lesser devil than the true lord of evil heimer. For real on his last nerf riot had to actually say he was over performing in the top, mid, and bot Lanes. He was probably annoying in the jg too and no one knew
I dont think he counts that as that's mainly place of vastayans, which is mostly not human, while he mainly counts ones w humans, however imo shurima n maybe targon still need a yordle
👀 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
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?
"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
@@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?
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.
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"
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
"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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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)
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
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)
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.
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.
@@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
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
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
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.
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 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.
Kleds lines are like a sweet toxin, you Can't just sit there and play patient with lines like I AM DEEP FRIED COURAGE AND AN APPLE PIE OF ANGRY what's that? Kill em under tower? If you say so I WON'T BACK DOWN, I NEVAH BACK DOWN NO, it's when I DON'T drink MUSHROOM JUICE that I have a problem What's that? Go for the decakill? If you say so Etc. Etc. XD
Yordles "exudes psychological pressure" I felt this in a comical way with Veigar event horizon. I was Veigar (ARAM), during an intense late game chaotic "press all buttons or you die" 5v5 team fight, event horizon appeared and covered nearly every champ from both sides. You can see everyone madly run/dash/flash or sprint away. Funny thing was, I habitually avoid Veigar E (due to facing him twice in earlier games, getting caught and being erased) that during the chaos of the fight, I was one of the champs who flashed...exudes psychological pressure indeed 😂 My team never noticed or assumed I flashed to escape the other teams, but I knew that sudden E spooked me 😂
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
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
10:42 Isn't Rumble ok ? I mean I never saw someone rage against Rumble. Like I see rarely people rage over Kled (maybe except ADCs, and I understand why XD).

There is no Yordles in Shurima and Targon and aren't those major areas?

@@joaovieira1595 Nah isnt Rumble Around bandle city cuz his crush lives there? Or does Tristana not live in Bandle City no more?
@@tatzecom i believe he stores scraps in a shurima base
Isn't Amumu a yordle?
I've been waiting for this topic for a while. This is gonna be a good video for sure.
"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"

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
That quite hard when only 3 of them. And they are too different
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.
Lets wait for a female darkin (based on varus comics) that still in Shuriman Lands.
@@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.
imagine if talon was a yordle.
Ahhh that would be fantastic
talon isn't an yordle?
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
Goblins en el hentai.
Goblin slayer but to go to rune terra next volume
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.
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.
Who do you think I the most fun to play?
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.
"But none of them feel invincible"
I miss season 6 Poppy.
Me too... me too...
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.
@@matinhosmatos I want old poppy mechanics with new poppy visuals lol
There's also the cat of a Yordle, Yuumi, also being a unique enchanter and also being hated by the opposing team... and her own team
i love yuumi what are you talking about
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
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)
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
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.
As someone else has put it before...
The Ionian Dashers
That’s why my main created gas to attack them
Yordles are very cute...until I remember the shit they do to me on the rift
I would love to see a shuriman yordle. Amumu could be one if his lore got changed.
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.
Already know this title is gonna start fights in the comments... your wrong btw.
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.
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.
We are not kids, so we hate kidish characters.
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
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
Finally man vars must be tired of seeing the yordle comments
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
I absolutely love your videos! Beatifully crafted and perfectly explained! Always keen to see more!
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)_/¯
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.
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
Void next please! love the void has a wide array of characters!
“Yes, yes, I know I start a new series every day”.
Did u just read my mind?
Rumble need an visual update.
But overall he is still an very fresh Champion to play for his old age.
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.
I love the yordles and am slowly getting them all
Kleds lines are like a sweet toxin, you Can't just sit there and play patient with lines like
I AM DEEP FRIED COURAGE AND AN APPLE PIE OF ANGRY
what's that? Kill em under tower? If you say so
I WON'T BACK DOWN, I NEVAH BACK DOWN
NO, it's when I DON'T drink MUSHROOM JUICE that I have a problem
What's that? Go for the decakill? If you say so
Etc. Etc. XD
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.
Yordles "exudes psychological pressure"
I felt this in a comical way with Veigar event horizon. I was Veigar (ARAM), during an intense late game chaotic "press all buttons or you die" 5v5 team fight, event horizon appeared and covered nearly every champ from both sides. You can see everyone madly run/dash/flash or sprint away.
Funny thing was, I habitually avoid Veigar E (due to facing him twice in earlier games, getting caught and being erased) that during the chaos of the fight, I was one of the champs who flashed...exudes psychological pressure indeed 😂
My team never noticed or assumed I flashed to escape the other teams, but I knew that sudden E spooked me 😂
Yes!! Can't wait for it, and the region videos! Great work vars
About Yordles appearance, male Yordles are generally furry or like Fizz, like a fish. Female Yordles look like human midgets.
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
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
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
10:42 Isn't Rumble ok ? I mean I never saw someone rage against Rumble. Like I see rarely people rage over Kled (maybe except ADCs, and I understand why XD).
