[@ArgKnoxville86]

The lines "This is what you asked for" and "heavy is the crown" are so meta. they apply to League, they apply to this cinematic, they apply to Faker, they apply to Linkin Park, they apply to Emily. They carry so much load!

[@drsherifff]

It really reminds me of my favorite line from my (now probably second) favorite worlds song BIAD: "keep talking, keep laughing, one day you'll wish you hadn't "

[@flowy3422]

Faker's father also said in the Hall of Fame Documentary that "This will also be a heavy burden for you. That's what follows being the first"

[@김주희-q3n]

why did they fucking applied to Linkinpark?

[@gudhaxer41343]

​@@김주희-q3nseriously dude ?? Chester to Emily lol.

[@ArgKnoxville86]

@@김주희-q3n What do you mean? This is the return to Meteora, this is Feint 2.0, this IS what people asked for. And also you don't think "Chester's crown" would be heavy on them?

[@zebrion5793]

The meta-context to this song is REALLY good. Emily's wearing a VERY heavy crown trying to step in for Chester, and Faker is ALWAYS carrying that heavy crown. His team has been struggling this year, and the weight of all those expectations on him and T1 are starting to show. However, there is no more clutch player in the big moments of League's history than Faker. He has nothing left to prove to the world, but he keeps being relevant and dragging whoever he is with up to the top. The day Faker puts down his keyboard and headset and walks away is going to be a monumental event, like the passing of an actual king.

[@Camis419]

“This is what you asked for” is what she is saying to the Linkin Park fans. This is what they asked for: a song where she screams like Chester. “Heavy is the crown” that she carries, which is burden of taking Chester’s crown and the pressure she gets in this position as the “lead” of the band. This is how I see it.

[@peffiSC2source]

Bit of a shame that it's a dual-purpose song then. In the League community, it's another reference to the GOAT Faker. It's actually kind of strange to see the LP and LoL fanbases interact. LP fans are disecting this song on its own merit. Many LoL fans I saw were not very hyped about this video because it featured LP too much and felt like just an LP-return song repurposed for the 2024 World Championship. Even featuring the band members more than the players who are referenced as being the kings who wear the heavy crown. Some speculate that LP agreed to this collab because they could tap into a good mix of a fanbase that both features young people and people who grew up with the OG Linkin Park (age-wise) and because they wanted the Imagine Dragon Treatmnent for the Arcane show, i.e. a cool animated video. That said, I watched so many years of World's songs and there were probably only 3 instances where the championship song was immediately received well. Most of the others were criticized for one reason or another. I like the song in itself and it fits the storyline. But I get League fans when they say that LP featured too heavily in the song for what should be a celebration of the professional players competing. A lot of the action in the video fell short, especially compared to last year.

[@madpostman]

​@@peffiSC2sourceAs a LP and LoL fan, I'm just happy that I'm getting the best of both worlds with this collab. ^_^

[@KadurOrdo]

@@peffiSC2source Which is interesting bc i feel like many ppl that played LoL at one point, already had listened to LP before LoL was a thing. So to me, merging these two together is like picking the two biggest parts of my youth and bring it back to me as an adult. Fr, I have been out of the Rift for 2+ years - yesterday I just played my promos for fun and having LP back too just....changed me again. Or I went back but ntl, its great to be alive right now!

[@ClaustroPasta]

Not really a replacement of Chester as a lot of the salty fans are hoping for but she does hit the same high note, just not the lower ones. Which is why i guess Mike shares that part with her a bit. Noticed that from the emptiness machine and even in this one near the chorus.

[@jonas4202]

well they are just dropping new songs, do you think they write them on the same day that they sing them?

[@CasualLeague]

Mike was in the premier of Arcane, and he said to Ovilee in the interview (before the meme) that he is more of a Riot fan, so of course his friends with all the music team. Besides this song is in Arcane, so of course they knew because im sure the animation on that comes back way more.

Excellent single. The main idea of ​​the music is important as in previous albums, Emily Armstrong slowly reveals her vocal talent and, specially, screaming. Mike, Phoenix, Joe, Brad and Colin are masters of their craft. Chester, in heaven, appreciated the music. With his voice he helped millions and suggested the musical path of "Xero", which became a legend like "Linkin Park".🎵🎸🤘

I AGREE! It's a banger, innit? Seems like a touching way to remind everyone Linkin Park released a video with a Gundam figure all those years ago. It's a callback that says "We still love Chester, too!!" Also gives me vibes of the Vi Summoner Music. It's rocking just like this!

Emily has a really great voice ;) In recent interview she said that when she first time listen to Hybrid Theory and Chester's voice, it inspired her to start singing and screaming.
