Also don’t forget that the ruined king game was meant to be before this event, good chance we’ll see these champions in that game instead.

That's a lie that no champ can die. The lore and the game aren't the same thing.

A conflict of Demacian loyalists having to either stand alone in their principles or work with mages and sorcerers to stop the ruination. Bilgewater being a staging area for transportation to the Shadow Isles to assault Viego's kingdom and source of power. But no. An anticlimactic event that's treated like another Tuesday

Shame's on riot

Not really sure if it was because he “wasn’t reacting” as much as it was that her words did not matter to him, his only goal was a selfish one… get her back. It didn’t matter what she thought or how she felt so long as Isolde was with him again. That’s why he only reacted when she was gone, not while she was “speaking” but I’m pretty sure that was internal narration/narration from her POV for the cinematic. I don’t think she ever actually spoke. Either way I’m pretty dissatisfied with how rushed this felt

I would love a cinematic of the void! I think Kai'Sa, Malzahar and Sivir could be ''hot'' enough, and Nasus, Maaaan, this Sixpack def. lures some furrys in. But seriously I would love to have more cinematics with Rek'Sai and Vel'Koz

Man, imagine a well written void event , an event where Jax reunites the most powerful champs of Runeterra (Pantheon, Diana, Veigar, Pyke, etc)

"We can't fight him alone." Except for when we go to his seat of power on our own and just 6v1 him and his supposedly limitless army of ghosts that shrouded the entirety of Runeterra.

GOT had the same head writers for all 8 years

Funny enough in her concept phase she actually did have hard cc. She could bind 2 champs together with her thread. I totally with she had that tbh only because she doesn't feel like a seamstress at all currently

I hope Viego now gets deleted from the game since he was put in stasis in Camavor. Also if you watched the cinematic closely you'll notice that Yorick and the Maiden of the Mist are missing. This is a subtle nod to them power pushing your top right now.

Undo it. Undo it now. Delete the whole cinematic, apologize about it, and save the event.
