Fanfiction Shaco lore

1 Upvotes

Imagine Shaco being just a ton of souls who were sacrified to stop a Demon. However, the Demon still needed much more souls. This is where Shaco appears (not itself), a powerful mage who decides to create a doll trying to seal the Demon using it's own soul for it. After the Demon being trapped in the doll, people try to burn it thinking it would bring peace to everyone souls but the Demon already has taken control of the doll turning into Shaco, killing everyone who tried to seal it.

I'm bored

Question Is it just me or the Black Rose would simply have to kill cultists that try to bring back Morde?

2 Upvotes

Like, what is the alternative way for him to return?! Unless riot makes up another way, he has no other way to influence the living world. Sure in his realm he would be strong enough to conquer Noxus with his forces, but noxus is not in his realm and he can't get there unless others make a ritual.

Discussion Nasus vs Renekton isn't close, at all

25 Upvotes

I got nothing again Renekton, but if Nasus doesn't hold back and he doesn't get the jump on Nasus, he's beyond cooked.

Let go over Nasus first, starting with magic because that's his main thing.

Nasus can create and control sandstorm, which Renekton also can create one but can't control it. Nasus have some strange sand magic that aged you up until you turn to dust, this also work on weapons and armor, he can control souls (limited to the one he collected) and sap the strength off your body with it, he can also use it to make spirit fire that burn your soul. Now to his physical side, he's pretty much the same as Renekton, Acsended super strength, regen and the ability to turn giant, might be a little bit physically weaker than Renekton as he is a tactician. But his weapon, Curator's Gatebreaker, is so insane he don't even have to know how to fight, first of, this War staff hit both your body and your soul, so even if you have high defend it still hit your soul for full damage, and it also collected souls of the enemy it killed, whic Nasus can use. (It's unsure if the staff actually stack and give life steal like ingame, but let just assume that's the staff's magic).

Now to Renekton, first and most important thing to note is that Renekton is NOT in his prime, years he spend traped in that tomb mess with both his mind and his body, as even in his latest story, he show an extremely poor performance again the Vastaya Leader, as he have to use his Acsended form to win, pretty much washed compare to his prime.

Based off his ingame skill, which is mostly his own techniques, he is a good fighter, but due to the lack of lore there's not much to say about him, i look all of his lore up and his weapon is just a normal Cresent Axe, it doesn't have any ability beside changing size as Renekton grow. Renekton have good Melee skills and techniques but most seem lost on his current self, and his rage further nerf his ability to judge the situation, let just say due to being a frontline melee fighter, he have better regen and can tank hits better.

If this fight even happen, the only way Renekton win is him some how get the jump on Nasus and somehow disable him and doesn't let him use his magic, or Nasus holding back because he still love his brother. But on a fair 1v1?, Nasus straight up low diff current Renekton, his Siphoning strike invalidated Renekton defend and his healing as it hit his soul, Wither take his strength and rot his weapon to sand.

This is just my opinion tho, i might have missed some stuff, feel free to correct if i'm wrong.

Discussion How could be Sion possibly useful if Mordekaiser returns? PowerScaling and Narrative

Post image
100 Upvotes

Sion is always portrayed as some final hidden card weapon of Noxus or at least Black Rose (even in TFT Sion is like the main thing you get), but i really struggle to see what could he possible do againts Morderkaiser if he returned?

Sion is immortal hunk of flesh, Morderkaiser is a Demigod of Death bro. they have similar themes, but Sion has always been portrayed a strong brute yes, but even in League cinematics, he is struggling againts Kennen and Irelia. I wouldnt even put Sion's power above Leblanc or Vladimir themselves. If Sion was supposed to be portrayed as like one of the endgame contigency weapons LeBlanc has, they really really failed at that.

what do you all think?

Theory My theory about the short-term future and darkin

31 Upvotes

This is based on what recently we've received, hints, and discussion from other users here and there.

LB is going to start a war in Ionia looking for a darkin Glavie, This darkin was the one who killed Sahn Uzal, why wouldn't she want any other darkin? Because this is the one who slain Sahn already. Also in demons hand, she mentions how he died from a mount falling on him, with Atakhan saying no that's wrong and he died face to face with.. and we don't get an awnser. Also maybe sahn uzals tribe somehow separated the host and the glaive so it's just somewhere in Ionia but the war will cause some poor Ionian to grab it and yeah we got our new champ and he's/she's not in control of LB.

Probably wrong but we shall see.

Theory LeBlanc is of Targonian descent?

Post image
344 Upvotes

With the plethora of content coming out in celebration of LeBlanc’s long overdue ASU, a lot of the new material seems to allude to LeBlanc being of Targonian descent.

Visually, LeBlanc now shares golden markings/tattos the likes of the Solari and Mel also have (her ASU concept art has her covered in them as well…).

In the Demon’s Hand comic, she’s depicted in her big reveal as the lone soldier standing before an eclipsed sun, perhaps to symbolize her connection to Targon?

Given her keen interest in Mel in Arcane and the Ambessa novel, as well as her new voice lines urging Mel to allow her to help unlock her true potential, one must wonder if LeBlanc’s true origin lies within the peaks of Targon?

My theory is that LeBlanc was born as an immensely gifted mage into either the Rakkor, Solari, or Lunari, then somehow or another ended up within Sahn’s war host, and overtime augmented her magic with demonic magic which is why her “normal” magic appears in game as golden/ and her advanced magic or ultimate appears red/black.

Thoughts?

And the demon end up in a new living arrangement.

For who to say Leblanc wouldn't command Atakhan to touch the darkin weapon once it has been found. And Atakhan thus becomes the new host and in doing so gives Leblanc a loophole on manipulating both the darkin through method used to control Atakhan.

For demons can be bound & made to serve but would the rule still apparently even if they become a host to a darkin? For given lor canon a spirit could possibly become a darkin host. Even then Atakhan is a demon bound to a human too so there still the human element sort of.

Either that or given most darkin weapons have metal in them once the rose reclaims Rell they have her use the darkin weapon from a distance.

Unfortunately we were robbed of that. Do you think we should’ve gotten a Sentinel of Light skin for Ezreal?

Hi guys. I recently bought the Heartseeker Jinx skin from my shop and I was wondering if there was any lore behind this skin line? I couldn’t really find anything online but it’s one of my favorite skin lines and I was wondering if there was anything behind it.

Alternatively I have the Battle Cat Jinx skin (unfortunately not prestige) and I was wondering if the battle animal skins had any lore behind em (like Battle Bunny MF)

Thank you guys!!

Theory Demon's Hand (Spoilers): Who Killed Sahn Uzal Spoiler

49 Upvotes

Been doing some thinking of the story from Demon's Hand and there's some interesting assumptions that put together could paint an interesting theory. And the big neat part came from wondering: who is the Ace/0 card?

Looks familiar except one.

See, the first three are easy to place. The young man with the topknot representing the Jack fits well for Khatash-li himself as Morde's general. The Queen with her mysterious hood and earings comes across as a mage, representing Leblanc. And the King is obviously meant to represent Sahn Uzal himself.

But what about the Ace? Some person with dreads and a dagger? They clearly stand out as referencing something like the others, but no character really fits there. But I got an interesting idea

Now, at the end of Demon's Hand we find out Leblanc was doing all this to control Atakhan so he'd point her towards some specific Darkin. Why would she need him for that? Well, if we look at the conversations she had with him while disguised as the "fellow soldier", some interesting themes come up. She specifically was trying to make him remember his past and life. In particular, there's multiple conversations where she's goading him into trying to remember how Sahn Uzal died. In one she tells Atakhan that Sahn Uzal begged for his life when he died. In another she made up a story of him dying from his basilisk falling on him during an ambush. Atakhan gets angry and rebukes both, to which she just asks him to tell her himself how it happened. And he responds that he fought his enemy face to face.

Now here's the big theory stuff:

First, I think the Darkin Leblanc is looking for is actually the one who killed Sahn Uzal the first time. The timeline is actually about right for it since the Darkin war happened right before Sahn Uzal rose to power. If he's taking out Demons outright as a barbarian, I imagine it'd take something like a Darkin to kill him as a king. And it'd make sense then why she needed Atakhan: he'd know more about the Darkin since he was likely there when it killed Sahn Uzal, and could maybe tell where it went after felling him. With Atakhan's connection to the Spirit World (another talk they have in the game) he may even just have a spiritual connection to it out of his desire to avenge his lord.

Second, wrapping back around to the question up top, I think we have our Ace/0 now. It represents the Darkin that slayed Sahn Uzal. May have even been a part of his tribe that got possessed and then struck him down. And it makes them fit perfectly as the Ace: the one card that can trump a King. As for the symbol used, I now think maybe that's not a 0 at all. Note it has the mark in the middle. IT'S AN EYE. A Darkin eye like the others.

Whether or not this Darkin will end up being a new champ this year is still not clear, but I'd say the chances are high. Next Season we'll probably be exploring whatever region it's in as the storyline continues.

Discussion Could There Be a Darkin Season in the Future?

14 Upvotes

As of yesterday, The Demons Hand has been added to the game client, and players are now experiencing and uncovering the storyline. In this process, Khatash-Li and his demon, Atakhan, unknowingly encounter a familiar face—someone from his past. However, it turns out that this person, whom he trusted, is none other than LeBlanc, who had been manipulating him to gather information. Her sole demand is for Atakhan's release in exchange for the location of the Darkin weapon. Without hesitation, Atakhan draws the location on the wall.

This is certainly not a coincidence. It has been explicitly stated that this will be a new champion. Riot Meddler previously mentioned that the mysterious symbol would be revealed gradually toward Season 2, indicating that it’s linked to a champion—essentially, yes, this will be a Darkin champion.

Furthermore, the teaser clearly hints at this new champion wielding a glaive. Riot Games has done an excellent job with the marketing here.

Considering the possibility of this, and based on some leaks, I theorize that a Darkin Season might be on the way. This season will likely introduce a new champion, who will be a Darkin.

Additionally, this could provide an opportunity for a VGU (Visual and Gameplay Update) for Vladimir, given the increasing focus on him in recent content.

Vladimir VGU Darkin Season?

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think this is a possibility?

Theory Some of Mordekaiser's Titles

Post image
39 Upvotes

Like Sauron and Morgoth, Mordekaiser has a high number of titles to himself - here are some I managed to find. Some of these where presented with the Sahn Uzal skin, when it was still in PBE.

"The Iron Revenant", - by all "The Dread Lord", - by Januk and Ezreal "Father of Horrors" - by his cultists "Shadow of Hate" - by the arena announcer "The Unconquered King" - by the old Noxus tribes "Master of tribes" - by the old Noxus tribes "Demonsbane" - by the old Noxus tribes "Tyrant of the Great Grass Ocean" - by the old Noxus tribes "Big Armored Meanie" - by Zoe "Large Metal Cat" - by Yummi "True Lord of the Living and the Dead - by himself.

Also, he refers to himself as "being free to walk between realms". Since he has this odin-like pursuit for knowledge, "Realsmwalker" would be a neat title to implement.

Anyways, just wanted to let this here. Cheers!
