I like how in Pantheon's theme is just one dude singing, because is just one man against everyone. But in jax theme you have a choir singing in the background, because he's not alone and will never be alone, because all icathia fights shoulder to shoulder with Jax, even if they are not there. Truly amazing!!!

[@neutralplayeroflol5722]

Pantheon's felt like a battle cry Jax's is like a tribal chant of a local hero

[@Limrasson]

@@neutralplayeroflol5722 Is the new lore compatible with the old lore or the old one was thrown out entirely? I loved the old one to be honest, Jax was my favourite for a long time.

[@RandomDuels]

The theme is very heroic. It makes me feel like Jax is the main character of League of Legends.

[@nihk5234]

They kinda did it, the new champs had the animated splash art shown on the lobby screen when you enter the game

[@thesaltdragon]

This song reminds me a lot of Pantheon's theme, definitely the song of a warrior. But I love the differences. Rather than sounding like a war cry like Pantheon's song, Jax's sounds like a battle chant. And the choir in the background vs the one singer for Pantheon makes sense too. Pantheon is fighting alone, a single man against the gods. Jax, however, is fighting with all of Icathia on his side. They are the ones singing, urging Jax to continue his fight. It's almost beautiful, in a way

[@johngrimm2074]

Bro, I'm glad I'm not the only one that heard the similarities and differences between the two.

[@Dewlone]

The Jax theme is more heroic, man of the people, where Pantheon is one man on his own.

Well said dude!

Not only did they honor the kid who inspired Jaximus via making him a core part of all of Jax's lore, the CHOIRS OF THE SONG MAKE IT FEEL LIKE the kid and his friends is cheering him on from the afterlife😢 My spirit is crying tears of joy.....

[@zwiebeldogs]

I hope our only other Icathian champ can get a glow up like this soon, too. Zilean absolutely deserves it. Speaking of Icathia, I love how even though Jax is a rather solitary fighter, a chanting choir is heavily featured in his theme. He (and Zil, but hes kinda removed from time or whatever) carries the entire legacy, memories and voices of Icathia. Very beautiful

[@emaneko22]

As another comment said, they probably used a chanting choir as representing Jax fighting for everyone who fell with Icathia.

[@Dr.JonathanCrane]

the choir is most likely a representation of icathias spirit in his flame cheering him on for his endless fight against the void

[@SirYwhach]

The singing parts won my heart over, the music departments just surpass the expectations, I can't believe a theme about a champion as old and "generic" as Jax could make a man emotional, well done, I can't wait for your work on Lee Sin's ASU.

@@VSPTP Jax is one of the most heroic champs of the game. Wielding the last light of Icathia, he is the only hope for his extinct people to live on and extinguish the darkness that shallowed them.

More than 10 yeas ago I had the opportunity to hear many records from composers for short film projects and youtube video. Then, one day, I heard some musics from one man and just said to myself and my friends "Wow, this guy's work is above the others, surely he will work for big productions !". There was something different, like the feel you can have with some zimmerian, williamsian or bergersian musics. Today I am so proud of your journey, the victories you have made and the recognition you've always deserved, Jean-Gabriel Raynaud !

The single violin symbolizes Jax, alone and wandering Runeterra with only a lamp staff for company. Then the choir kicks in, almost spectral, almost feminine, like the ghosts of Icathia (Icathian Mirage from LoR) backing his cause. Towards the end, the music reaches its peak, and the choir is accompanied by other instruments playing similar melodies. Jax is no longer alone. Unlikely allies (Breshi, Chaska, Pesh, Trisk, and Fireth, all from LoR) have joined him from around the world, similarly skilled and crafty individuals he befriended on his travels... and now they unite against the Void.
