@@KristinaN05 not gonna lie, I am a little overwhelmed, haha, but I love the world and the art/graphics style. It’s my first PC game too, so playing using keyboard commands is pretty new to me. I’m just spending a lot of time in the training arena (thankful they have that system) and learning the basics of how the offered champions work. But I try ink I have to make a decision just so I can start learning strategies - items, buffs etc. love it so far. Sure it will change when I have my first game and get completely obliterated🤣

I’d love to see a series about Darius rising through the ranks of Noxus and eventually joining swain and his ideology.

[@coupdegrace2767]

Swain POV would be infinitely more interesting tho. Because Darius is a one-dimensional badass warrior and commander, whereas Swain's lore actually ties into black rose and all the inner politics of Noxus, not to mention his coup d'etat. Also, I'm pretty sure we still know nothing about his demonic powers, but I could've missed some lore here and there, because of all the retconning.
