Aatrox has interactions with the Aspect of War, who killed Aatrox's vessel many times. Pantheon, as Atreus, has yet to fight Aatrox as himself, as a man.
@@dagewastaken7236 If I'm not mistaken Atreus fought Aatrox again, after he killed the Aspect from his body, Atreus not only won the battle the aspect lost, but severed the arm Aatrox uses to hold his sword So theoretically, Aatrox is once again imprisoned inside his sword, waiting to be picked up, where Atreus won the battle, which I assume was somewhere in Targon
@@dagewastaken7236 I have no idea what were you talking about, but didn't Aatrox kill the Aspect of War in their first battle with each other ? That's why when Atreus met Aatrox again, Aatrox showed his disrespect toward Atreus when he just recognised the weapons of who he defeated. Atreus is the first one who took down Aatrox since his first time getting a vessel.
Yeah I really wish they prerecorded voicelines for champions that they know are on the way. Like the fact that Viktor and Jayce don't talk to eachother is criminal.
This is new seeing Aatrox so friendly, hes normally one of if not the angriest character in League. The softness he has with the Captain is both heartwarming and tear-jerking
Nah not really, he's always pissed at his enemies and express disappointment facing enemy darkins, but not everyone he interacts with here are his enemies. Plus even in League his monologues are still mostly him going on about how tired he is and all he wants is to be at "peace" (die)
It only gets worse once you realize his "defeat" would almost certainly mean going back into the strangling confines of his blade. Again. For centuries, or perhaps even millenia. Until someone was foolish enough to wield him again.
2:51 aatroxs genuine care and compassion he holds for the captain is genuinely tragic knowing why and also heartwarming that he still cares for others in his own way
Xolaani is so interesting of a villain, a great healer who did so much good yet witnessed so much atrocities her good intentions melded into her distrust of mortal nature and wanting to "help" by controlling all living beings so that they may be rid of their primal evils.
lor is so damn amazing for expanding the characters and lor of runeterra, these voice lines alone have made him one of my favorite champs, there is so much surprsiing humanity in the way he speaks to his fellow darkin
I dunno, this kayle talks nothing like the league kayle, she doesnt sound that obsess with absolute justice. So what about morgana? and demacia? sure she has something to say about them
It's worth noting that the Darkin used to be Ascended and Ascended used to be selfless heroes. Then they went up against the Void, and things went to shit after that
@@chrishaven1489 They weren't really selfless heroes. They were pretty much good soldiers of a warmongering nation. Of course in their people's eyes, they are war heroes. But that doesn't make them the actual selfless heroes you would think about
This is the first time that in his life as a Darkin that Aatrox showed kindness because he showed kindness to other Darkins. Aatrox genuinely cared for the well being of his fellow Darkins, like in 1:09 when Aatrox knew that Joraal was scared and confused on what he has become, and Aatrox being the first Darkin that escape his cage within his prison knows what that feels and tried to calm Joraal down. This shows that to the very least that there's still good in him and that the Aatrox that the people knew and loved as a Hero is still in there somewhere, contrast to his quote "I have no goodness left, it was taken from me, stolen!" 3:42 He seems concerned, curious and sad on what became of the Blessed Isles. Maybe when Aatrox was an Ascended he loves visiting the Blessed Isles and its people? Because he genuinely sounded concern to it's well being and at the same time sad because the country is now in Ruin, which is contrast to the Aatrox in League where he likes to wage war and destroy everything.
Kayle feels like she's the person you meet in the beginning of a RPG that will either join the party by the end or be the worse enemy you will have that isn't even related to the big bad
joraal's voice lines and interactions are fascinating and so heartbreaking at the same time. the war consumed most darkins while he lives with the tought of his general and making aatrox proud only. the voice line " i held the line, , i held it" has such emotions in it that i cannot describe with words, but everythime i hear it my heart breaks. and the aatrox knowing what he has been trough in his head in his absence, treats him like a fragile veteran that has seen enough, and deserves peace. just wanted to point out how talented the voice actors are
Xoolani... Behaves like a champion. She talks when someone idle and whenever victory/defeat happen Dammit, just make her a champion!! I want know more about her!
@@hotdogboxd Or it might be that he is icathian born. We know that there was an Ixtali ascended, so i assume that so long they proved to be completely loyal to Shurima in their time as mortals, and proved as a valuable force for the empire, at one point they could become a chosen one for the Ascension. And we know that he is old even among other Ascended, and also that Icathia was a vassal state of Shurima for quite a while before rebelling against Shurima. Whether he was the only one that came from Icathia or the greatest one, both would explain the title of "The Blade of Icathia" And that would imply that, yes, he fought against his nation of origin in behalf of his "adoptive" nation in Icathia's rebellion
It's refreshing to see Aatrox in a morally-ambiguous light. Him acting like an actual general who cares about his men and treats every single one of them (except Rhaast for some reason) with respect is entertaining to watch.
Indeed. Hard to say which is the lesser of two evils though. Totalitarian enthralment or utter annihilation. That said, Xolanni is driven by a selfish ambition, Aatrox a desperate need to finally pass on that he shares with his kin.
Main trio don't share same goals. All other Darkins only listen to Aatrox or the corruption from Xolaani. So yeah he respects his army, but not those 2 darkins.
Aatrox and Xolaani fighting a war that could end the planet, with Kayle and Ryze caught in the middle Meanwhile: Seraphine just hangin' out with her dad
Morgana resents her mother it's written in her lore, so I doubt she would get traumatized like Kayle who's always had a connection towards her mother and Morgana towards her father.
So from ryze's interactions with the runes: Shard of hope: The one that infused magic in the blessed isles, probably the source of the hollowed mist. Shard of betrayal: The only shard Tyrus was able to obtain and pass down to Ryze after the rune wars. Shard of reverence: Used by the Targonians to forge the crown to control Asol. Shard of violence: Used by the icathians to summon the void against shurima. Shard of madness: Used by the ascended against the void, corrupted them instead and created the Darkin. Alternatively, this might be what was used by twilight to cage the darkin into weapons or in the chalicar itself.
I think the Shard of Hope was used by Viego in his effort to revive Isolde, thus at least indirectly causing the Ruination. Also, to say that Tyrus "passed down" a World Rune to Ryze is really generous to Tyrus; Ryze killed Tyrus when he realized that Tyrus and a group of fellow sorcerers were conspiring to use the Rune for their own selfish ends.
really? I just think the Shard of Madness is in ruins of Icathia or some part of Shurima because like the side-stories already said that the Darkin learned forbidden sorceries like Xerath and mastered primal magics. Hemomancy and morphing their flesh into armor is not the only thing they know heck they're not even at their full power because their celestial magic/essence is trapped/deleted in their weapons. The Aspect of Twilight used the Ascended essence in the Chalicar as a channel to trapped into their weapons. Basically their DNA being recognized in the weapon so it can perform a ritual sealing. Plus, Even though they're gods they still have their mortal minds that's how they become batshit witnessing horrors in the Icathian/Void War.
Damn Aatrox might've been a great general, the moment he called out the other Darkins they all come running back to his side despite centuries of not seeing each other. Yo Rito when y'all gonna give us a movie or series about the Aatrox and the other Darkins in their prime as Ascended and their eventual to madness as Darkins. Wtf did Xolaani do that was so cowardly that literally every existing Darkin hates her? We need answers.
Aatrox as ascended was very rightful and noble, thousands of men and dozens of ascended followed him cause of respect to him. Aatrox basically had an own army, lol
Because Xolaani tried to enslave The other darkins through blood magic, hell she literally went off to Take over the other darkins while Aatrox fends off The aspect of justice, kayle and Ryze and the other Controlled darkins, she IS the coward Aatrox calls her as
@@northernalpine4350aatrox fing 1v3ing or more for most of the time and still fighting on. Meanwhile Xolaani is shown to be thrown around by aatrox in the art of his card, bombed by kayle in her and even shot down from the sky by Horazi.
i think this is by far the most epic scenario cards reveal. The fact that xolaani was able to take over mihira just gives me chills! it's so horrifying. And morgana's absence breaks my heart!
@@jacobnorris8256 So true, Kayle did say that if anyone could use it properly, it is him. I would not be mad if Riot does a small game centred around Ryze roaming through Runeterra preventing catastrophes, unknowingly instigated by other characters.
Mihira has a quite interesting character here, while she almost similliar to kayle, yet she still show a little compassion and forgiveness, unlike kayle who obsessed with absolute justice.
that's because mihira embodies the totality of justice, the punishment and the forgiveness. But for kayle and morgana these aspects of justice are divided into two, so neither of them is truly just
If you listen to Mihira quotes, she shows empathy and that is all Morgana is about - to redeem others and show them mercy. I just love that Riot are careful about developing characters
I love Aatrox interactions...so much behind his interactions i love hear him speak...so much dept and it seems that not all Darkin have the double A thing thlat they agreed uppon 🤣🤣
I did not expect Aatrox reuniting with beings intent on destroying the world so they can finally die to be so...wholesome. The genuine care in his voice is great i love the VLs here the VA did a great job.
Imagine: Morgana's cards will depict her helping Kayle so they can kill Xolaani. Just think of how badass Morgana would look in her level-up animation as she lets her wings loose and sends her chains at Xolaani's tendrils. Would be the best level-up animation yet
Pretty sure she will come help Kayle as they have to resolve their issue. When Kayle dies she still calls for Morgana so I'm pretty sure Morgana will come to Kayle's help in a dire moment. Which I don't agree with since Kayle should be stronger but oh well, the setup is there
I doubt that Morgana would come for this. By and large she leaves the world alone, save for some wayward souls in Demacia. Lore wise she actively avoids interacting with the Celestial, probably gives Targon and Shurima a very wide berth.
Kai’sai’s cards are effectively a prologue for the story that introduced Bel’Veth, with kai’sa finding the city of Bel’Veth being consumed by the void, the creature we know as Bel’Veth is ‘born’ directly beneath the city from the consumption. Hard to say if that means she is coming to LoR, it’s hard to say when things are teasers or references in this game, but it does mean that Bel’Veth was far enough along production when set 6 was made to be incorporated into the story so it is very much possible.
It seems that there are many men who still do not know the timeline. The Lor plot is a kind of what if and splits into two timelines when Kayn arrives at the Wuju guild. Time line 1: Rhaast successfully absorbed Kayn, slashed Jun to death, and stole the blood letters that Xolaani was imprisoned in. End. Time line 2 (What's happening in lor): Rhaast lost to Kayn who was completely tamed (humiliating vailone) Kayn slashed his spear but couldn't kill Jun. Jun ran down to where Xolaani was about to catch before Kayn. But as soon as he touched the blood letters, Xolaani erased Jun from the earth and Xolaani made a successful comeback. Kayn is unknown after Xolaani was liberated. Aatrox was chilling somewhere on Runeterra, sensing that Xolaani was back, he immediately howled all the darkins across Runeterra back to Icathia to destroy Xolaani. Go to the fight place, 10 vs 1 . Xolaani clutch and vice versa. While fighting, Mrs. Kayle sat on the table and looked down and saw the whole group of Darkin fighting, she fell down calling her mother Mihira to come down to the compartment + call Ryze. When the group arrived, Xolaani managed to manipulate quite a few darkins, solokill Mihira and transform into Aspect Bane. Kayle turns on panic mode and asks Ryze to pull out a trump card and use it. Ryze decided to pull out 5 world runes. For now, I'm stopping here :)). Timeline canon in Lol, none of the above has happened.
Holy shit: So Xolaani aspects bane is actually if Xolaani controls Mihira. That's so broken and yet cool. I wonder what could defeat her?? Aww Sera dad calls her Serabear. That's actually so sweet! :)
The Warrior (Aspect of War Pantheon) is confirmed to be the strongest star and aspect so if Aatrox could kill him I do not doubt he could kill the aspect of Justice. Depends on how strong Xolaani was before she absorbed Mihira though.
The more all those things keep happening in Runettera the more you can see how RIGHT Pantheon/Atreus is.Another apocalypse or world ending event caused by powers beyond mortal reach.Makes me root for him more and more
Na that what makes runeterra more fun for the players besides if the aspects die what they embody die with them Mihira embodies justice if she dies justice literally dies with her unless she gets replaced like pantheon did to the aspect of war so she might not be dead or one or both of her daughter’s could replace her.
@@michaeltaylor788 I mean both of them could it's just Kayle is has way to much smite Justice on everyone who is guilty must die, And Morgana has no sense of Justice but had alot of mortality not much as Atreus but at least better than Kayle insane sense of justice.
Aatrox is considered the nemesis of many champs in runeterra, as he said i am not your enemy he is the enemy. My theory is when aatrox kills xolaani Aatrox will be able to tap the full power of blood magic and consume every darkin in runeterra just like xolaani then achieve the final form and destroys everything on sight. And only the world runes will be able to stop those two from destroying all life on runeterra.
@@jackanasaurus5905 nope zoe he does not come close, jax is considered to be his rival he even said he is a worthy vessel. And gis greatest enemy is xolaani and the aspect of change myisha
There's something sweat about Aatrox, who's entire voiceline in LoL was just trash talking basically everyone, having this camaraderie tone to his words when talking to the other darkins besides Xolaani. Tho weird how he didn't specify the double A thing to Varus. Also I'm surprise Aatrox remembers the Blessed Isles, like he something to do there.
Kinda wish to see Kayle interact with someone from demacia or people like Pantheon but this is fine too. But that raises a question? How would she react to current day demacia because I bet she might look at it in disappointment to some degree.
Love how much you can FEEL the care of Aatrox towards his underlings, the fellow Ascended he had led to war against the Void. Then comes Xolaani, and you hear clearly the hatred, the rage, for she is the one responsible for what can only be described as a curse in his eyes.
Kayle: "Those that cry out for justice shall have it!" Also Kayle: "This world does not deserve salvation." Fastest 180 in the celestial west, holy f*ck.
It's pretty damn biblically accurate of her, the people are undeserving and wretched and the celestial host gives them salvation regardless showcasing their benevolence

Aatrox is like a genuinely caring big bro to all the Darkin, and then to Xolaani he's like "COWARD! COME, LET ME END YOUR MISERABLE EXISTENCE"
Because Xolaani tried to enslave The other darkins through blood magic, hell she literally went off to Take over the other darkins while Aatrox fends off The aspect of justice, kayle and Ryze and the other Controlled darkins, she IS the coward Aatrox calls her as
@@northernalpine4350aatrox fing 1v3ing or more for most of the time and still fighting on. Meanwhile Xolaani is shown to be thrown around by aatrox in the art of his card, bombed by kayle in her and even shot down from the sky by Horazi.
@@jankieek8218
Exactly
i think this is by far the most epic scenario cards reveal. The fact that xolaani was able to take over mihira just gives me chills! it's so horrifying. And morgana's absence breaks my heart!
Don't worry, Morg will come later and use her Q to root Xolaani for eternity.
As an Aatrox Main. This is ecstasy.
the desparation in aatrox' voice when he loses, you can feel the pain when he realized he didnt win
It's because he didn't die. The pain.. damn.
It's so heart warming how Ryze understand Viego
It does imply that Ryze only seeks to prevent catastrophes but he never judges those that instigated it. He somewhat understood why it happens.
@@personno.6.9billionth70 He knows the pull of the runes better than anyone, after all.
@@jacobnorris8256 So true, Kayle did say that if anyone could use it properly, it is him. I would not be mad if Riot does a small game centred around Ryze roaming through Runeterra preventing catastrophes, unknowingly instigated by other characters.
It really is finally someone sympathize with him 😔, really liked ryze in this expansion
Man, Aatrox's VA just killing it with the delivery of the lines. The wait was SO worth it
Mihira has a quite interesting character here, while she almost similliar to kayle, yet she still show a little compassion and forgiveness, unlike kayle who obsessed with absolute justice.
Your username 💀.
that's because mihira embodies the totality of justice, the punishment and the forgiveness. But for kayle and morgana these aspects of justice are divided into two, so neither of them is truly just
Kayle does have compassion. Just too little of it. Also a barb being a bottom XD why are you all so predicatable 😂 (I'm a barb too don't come at me)
Yet she’s still far more like Kayle.
I see next to nothing of Morgana in Mihira.
It stands to reason that Morgana took after her father Kilam.
Hope Kayle and Mihira has something about Morgana 💕
They didnt :( but lets hope she'll come in the next expansion
mihira is dead.... xolaani kill her and take her body
She references Morgana if she dies before leveling up
If you listen to Mihira quotes, she shows empathy and that is all Morgana is about - to redeem others and show them mercy.
I just love that Riot are careful about developing characters
@@Darkmoon0111 like thats what Morgana got from her mother. Being forgiving despite everything
I love Aatrox interactions...so much behind his interactions i love hear him speak...so much dept and it seems that not all Darkin have the double A thing thlat they agreed uppon 🤣🤣
Aatrox somehow reminds me of Megatron for some reason. Just me?
Ryze : I long for the day when this is over
Aatrox : As do I
The sadness and goosebumps I had
I did not expect Aatrox reuniting with beings intent on destroying the world so they can finally die to be so...wholesome.
The genuine care in his voice is great i love the VLs here the VA did a great job.
Seraphine's dad has so many wholesome lines.
Who? Lol
Imagine: Morgana's cards will depict her helping Kayle so they can kill Xolaani. Just think of how badass Morgana would look in her level-up animation as she lets her wings loose and sends her chains at Xolaani's tendrils. Would be the best level-up animation yet
Pretty sure she will come help Kayle as they have to resolve their issue. When Kayle dies she still calls for Morgana so I'm pretty sure Morgana will come to Kayle's help in a dire moment. Which I don't agree with since Kayle should be stronger but oh well, the setup is there
I doubt that Morgana would come for this.
By and large she leaves the world alone, save for some wayward souls in Demacia.
Lore wise she actively avoids interacting with the Celestial, probably gives Targon and Shurima a very wide berth.
Damn Aatrox is like the Optimus Prime of the darkin
Seeing AATROX being so friendly with all the Darkin is wholesome
Aatrox being chill with most other darkin is kinda wholesome.
Seraphine interaction with her dad is wholesome
I like how the Zealous Ranger Knight literally starts fanboying when Kayle comes in
That's how I be feeling🤣
He just met the literal god of justice that founded their city, what do you expect
"her voice.. i hear.. soon"
"she steps.. closer"
belveth coming to lor???
Kai’sai’s cards are effectively a prologue for the story that introduced Bel’Veth, with kai’sa finding the city of Bel’Veth being consumed by the void, the creature we know as Bel’Veth is ‘born’ directly beneath the city from the consumption.
Hard to say if that means she is coming to LoR, it’s hard to say when things are teasers or references in this game, but it does mean that Bel’Veth was far enough along production when set 6 was made to be incorporated into the story so it is very much possible.
@@Swampert919 I fully agree
You can hear the panic in Aatrox's voice like "please, don't make me go back in the sword"
From Blade of Icathia to the Darkin Blade
One helluva glow up
Void Herald saying “she steps closer” to the void rift. Are they refering to Bel’Veth?
Because if so, then that’d be an AWESOME champion in runeterra!
I think all of Kai'Sa cards are telling about Bel'Veth(city) and how it got devoured by Void, so it's kinda a prequel to the Bel'Veth cinematic.
Yes,void herald is announcing Belveth's coming
yeah, i wonder if they'll include Bel'Veth next.
EVERY interaction of Void Herald is about Bel'Veth. Pretty sure in one interaction, it also takes her name.
When I saw the darkin harpoon I was thinking only about one thing. Darkin Pyke
Aatrox’s lines are gold but after getting barely anything, I love these Ryze lines just as much.
Seraphine’s interactions with her dad are so wholesome ☺️ Also, he’s pretty chill.
I rewinded the video 3 times and I can now confirm and tell without doubt that Xolaani is a coward. May not be sure tho gotta rewatch a fourth time
"By my spear the Gods will know War."
- Pantheon
Aatrox: *TIME TO FLEX MY AACHIEVEMENT*
17:33 and the ship sails on
It seems that there are many men who still do not know the timeline.
The Lor plot is a kind of what if and splits into two timelines when Kayn arrives at the Wuju guild.
Time line 1: Rhaast successfully absorbed Kayn, slashed Jun to death, and stole the blood letters that Xolaani was imprisoned in. End.
Time line 2 (What's happening in lor): Rhaast lost to Kayn who was completely tamed (humiliating vailone) Kayn slashed his spear but couldn't kill Jun. Jun ran down to where Xolaani was about to catch before Kayn. But as soon as he touched the blood letters, Xolaani erased Jun from the earth and Xolaani made a successful comeback. Kayn is unknown after Xolaani was liberated. Aatrox was chilling somewhere on Runeterra, sensing that Xolaani was back, he immediately howled all the darkins across Runeterra back to Icathia to destroy Xolaani. Go to the fight place, 10 vs 1 . Xolaani clutch and vice versa. While fighting, Mrs. Kayle sat on the table and looked down and saw the whole group of Darkin fighting, she fell down calling her mother Mihira to come down to the compartment + call Ryze.
When the group arrived, Xolaani managed to manipulate quite a few darkins, solokill Mihira and transform into Aspect Bane. Kayle turns on panic mode and asks Ryze to pull out a trump card and use it. Ryze decided to pull out 5 world runes. For now, I'm stopping here :)).
Timeline canon in Lol, none of the above has happened.
Since Zilean came and introduced his character. He made alternate timel8nes canon in Runeterra "everything in LoR is 100% canon"
9:23 Kayle, the aspect of rhymes
Honestly wasn’t expecting Varus to be the straight man for the Darkin.
Those Bel‘Veth references in the end make me feel like she is gonna join the game in the next expansion
"MONSTER... USURPER! Relinquish my mother!"
when you think about it... thats terrifying
The Void gave a Darkin ptsd, yet Kaisa is still sexy asf, let that sink in.
Kassadin is sexy too. The sexiness DNA is strong in their family, I guess.
She is what? Twenty-something?
Let us return to her after century or more
She looks generic sure but sexy is a bit too much if you ask me.
Holy shit: So Xolaani aspects bane is actually if Xolaani controls Mihira.
That's so broken and yet cool. I wonder what could defeat her??
Aww Sera dad calls her Serabear. That's actually so sweet! :)
@@notsolong Actually, she has that form after consuming Mihira. It is stated in the card bio.
@@Darkmoon0111 ừ 😔
Canonically Aatrox killed the original god of war (Pantheon), so he could probably do it
The Warrior (Aspect of War Pantheon) is confirmed to be the strongest star and aspect so if Aatrox could kill him I do not doubt he could kill the aspect of Justice. Depends on how strong Xolaani was before she absorbed Mihira though.
"Seek revenge brother not oblivion "
It feels like varus is talking to his older brother
Xolaani is basically a champion at this point
AATROX DIDNT REMIND VARUS OF THE DOUBLE A THING, THERE WAS A MEMO FOR GODS SAKE
Aatrox sounding genuinely compassionate for Joraal was not expected but very nice.
WTF? No Kayn - Aatrox intractions? Were they trapped in the gardening section?
i think rhaast dying in this scenario
Aatrox: I love all my Darkins equally
Aatrox earlier that day: I don’t care much for Rhaast
@@heimdall335 he's not dying lmaoo. He's just on the deepest slumber. Darkin's essence is really on their weapon trapped/deleted
The more all those things keep happening in Runettera the more you can see how RIGHT Pantheon/Atreus is.Another apocalypse or world ending event caused by powers beyond mortal reach.Makes me root for him more and more
Na that what makes runeterra more fun for the players besides if the aspects die what they embody die with them Mihira embodies justice if she dies justice literally dies with her unless she gets replaced like pantheon did to the aspect of war so she might not be dead or one or both of her daughter’s could replace her.
@@michaeltaylor788 I mean both of them could it's just Kayle is has way to much smite Justice on everyone who is guilty must die, And Morgana has no sense of Justice but had alot of mortality not much as Atreus but at least better than Kayle insane sense of justice.
PLEASE LET THIS BATTLE BE THE PRESEASON CINEMATIC!!!
Aatrox is considered the nemesis of many champs in runeterra, as he said i am not your enemy he is the enemy.
My theory is when aatrox kills xolaani
Aatrox will be able to tap the full power of blood magic and consume every darkin in runeterra just like xolaani then achieve the final form and destroys everything on sight.
And only the world runes will be able to stop those two from destroying all life on runeterra.
He’s enemies with all, but Pantheon is considered his greatest rival
@@jackanasaurus5905 nope zoe he does not come close, jax is considered to be his rival he even said he is a worthy vessel. And gis greatest enemy is xolaani and the aspect of change myisha
There's something sweat about Aatrox, who's entire voiceline in LoL was just trash talking basically everyone, having this camaraderie tone to his words when talking to the other darkins besides Xolaani. Tho weird how he didn't specify the double A thing to Varus.
Also I'm surprise Aatrox remembers the Blessed Isles, like he something to do there.
Probably because his found Taarosh at Blessed Isle
1:29
Fire dialogue fr
10:57 i didn't espect interactions like that from Kayle but they are definitely welcome
Among all the interactions of Kayle this is just so random. Love it tho
Kinda wish to see Kayle interact with someone from demacia or people like Pantheon but this is fine too. But that raises a question? How would she react to current day demacia because I bet she might look at it in disappointment to some degree.
She'd be disgusted, especially considering how they treat mages like Shyvana.
Yeah, I was expecting an Aatrox/Tryndamere interaction :c
Now that I'm thinking about it what does Kayle think about mages? Like I just assumed she hated them because demacia but does she
*Looks at mageseekers*
"SMITE YOU SMITE YOU SMITE ALL OF YOU"
Yeah, she is disappointed in them, she says as much in League when interacting with them.
Your deep revelation: There are more than five Darkin? Impossible!
My deep revelation: Kayle has friends? Impossible!
mihira talks so much for someone who literally dies to a pokey stick
Love how much you can FEEL the care of Aatrox towards his underlings, the fellow Ascended he had led to war against the Void.
Then comes Xolaani, and you hear clearly the hatred, the rage, for she is the one responsible for what can only be described as a curse in his eyes.
I really would like a movie or series about the rune wars or shurima. The way this game/franchise builds their lore is too good to be stuck in a game
@@TheKingmetroidthis didn't age well...
When you think the expansion have only 3 champions and discover 2 more, but they forgot to add the golden border to those two champions.
With all the new Darkin cards you really do realize that Varus messed up the Double A thing.
3:55 my favorite line
No Aatrox interaction with Rhaast, or Tryndamere? Tragic. Great everywhere else.
woah that was fast upload after release of new set of cards
He sounds so anguished when he is defeated, he is so desperate to end the world that it is kind of sad, he just wants to die 😢
It is so refreshing hearing Aatrox speak normally to his comrades he’s only angry and yelling in LoL
Aatrox and Kayle doesn't have any interactions? Dang the lvl up aatrox art have kayle in there, riot messed it up.
Yeah bro
i think riot will make something different about it i mean more than interactions maybe cinematic in october 2023... maybee
it makes me so happy that Aatrox has the same VA as ingame.
Even Aatrox shocked to Blessed Isles
The Darkin period happened before the Ruination, so yeah Aatrox missed a few chapters 😆
omggg if only league would add these to his voice lines, these are EPICCC
Since they had Varus' VA in i hope they update his League voice as well. its really outdated.
I like how i can feel that aatrox isnt only the darkin blade but the sword of vegeance for his army
Kayle: "Those that cry out for justice shall have it!"
Also Kayle: "This world does not deserve salvation."
Fastest 180 in the celestial west, holy f*ck.
Kayle is a massive hypocrite, kinda her thing really.
It's pretty damn biblically accurate of her, the people are undeserving and wretched and the celestial host gives them salvation regardless showcasing their benevolence
@@S0URCH33KS It's a staple of people that concider themselves holy, gods and men alike. Same thing applies in real life.
@@S0URCH33KS She talks about the world of corruption, the world of bad people.
@@S0URCH33KS Yeah Morgana called her out on her bullshit and Kayle then just said ''Igh peace out bitch'' and disappreared from Demacia.
I love Seraphine’s dad so much, he’s so chill and supportive
why does seraphine dad have 50 more voiceline then the main character of 3 fucking extension aka xolaani
50 sounds like a lot
Mihra, Aspect of Justice would make a really cool champion in LOL. Especially how she’s an aspect.
Ryze it’s the Dr.Strange of Runeterra, that “whatever it takes” just reminded me the Avengers 😅
Aatrox's VO absolutely killed it again, just like in League.
It's a shame that Aatrox has no interactions with Tryndamere Considering their shared lore and love of berserker rage with big swords.
Plus, Aatrox killed tryndamere's tribe and cursed him with regenaration.
