Remember when Dunkey said "The Last of Us 2 is a good game" , but ended up as him being the only one who unironically liked it? I see the same pattern here except his points of why he liked it were also the reasons why everyone hating it like "how it switches to the villain's perspective half-way trough" , but here Necrit just trows dog shit theories and ideas like "killing off rookie" or "Ashkan shooting Isolde" and etc.

There was actually a really great moment at the end, before Rookie goes to Camavor with Viego, Senna, Gwen and the Maiden, where Lucian suggests that instead of Senna sacrificing herself, the other Sentinels should fight only for Senna's sake, to which she responds by comparing Lucian to Viego, because just like Viego, Lucian is kinda prepared to let the world burn to save his loved one, as Senna remarks. I was really surprised by that writing and found it REALLY interesting.

to be fair the spirit blossom event was also about canon lore, but it made it much better because it was about Ionia gods and the realm of death which we haven´t explored yet, while this event was way to huge for the time they had and the team working on the event has not enough knowledge about the lore of each character because if they had, they would have characters like karthus and Yorrick play a bigger role in this.

I don't see how the ending can be seen as even remotely good. We had all these Ruinations bombarding the world for what, weeks, months? And at the end everything goes back to the same status quo and all that seems to come out of it is that the Hot King of the Shadow Isles now has another name. The characters who were alive due to Isolde still remain just fine, the ones who died at the end get revived, the ones who got ruined just get back to normal, Vex is ignored despite being the main culprit, and so on. And then Yorick, a champion that should have had a crucial role in the story of the Ruined Kind and the Isles, is relegated to mere "plot device giver" while contradicting multiple aspects from his lore. The initial concept may have been good, but the steps taken to get there were horrible for multiple reasons, and then the ending makes it so that the start might as well not have existed. I wouldn't be surprised if the next time we see Riven she's still in the Noxian arena as if she never even left. Unless by "the ending was good" you mean that we can at least pretend that it never happened since it won't affect anything? In that case, sure.

My theory is that Viego was so lost in his memories and anguish and trauma that he existed, but was lost in his own mind and past. Thresh brought him back by essentially snapping him out of that haze, doing so for one reason; Senna. She was the one who got away, someone he had in his clutches that he can no longer torment. That idea is something Thresh cannot abide, but he lacks the ability now to take on Lucian and Senna on his own. Hence, he needed to awaken Viego.

After the latest comic I have actually decided the one way I can accept the new Thresh skin is that he's of course arrogant enough to try and replace Viego in every way since he already says the Ruined King is wasting his potential. So not only does he syphon his power but his new look is based on Viego's own, not because he cares to be attractive but just as his own indirect way to mock the king in an "I can do it better" kind of way. Because Thresh himself wouldn't have much use or desire for his old human form, but if all this power can allow him for a jab at his "master" I think maybe he'd take that chance to do just that.

Few corrections Akshan's weapon only seems to work on recent kills, that's why Viego didn't come back to life. Akshan even mentions how it might be too late for Shadya.

Honestly, in my eyes the event failed on several levels: - Rookie is between canon and not canon, I agree on the point that his self-sacrifice was ruined. But generally, technically the choices make it already questionable how canon Rookie really is, and in the comic he has been completely left out so far. - The game event is not as enjoyable because the chosen characters (specifically Olaf, Rengar and Pyke) ruin it with their behaviour, although the reasons for their recruitment do just enough sense. - Going more into the game's event, playing the later regions revealed to me that it really would have been a big grind, and the "fix" with 600 influence points per game just ruined the concept altogether. - The missing characters in the comic (Olaf, Graves, Diana, Rengar, Pyke) imply as if there weren't even there, specifically questionable is why Vex isn't shown who seems to play an important role. - Since I am on the topic of missing characters, has everyone already forgotten that some are technically missing? They did tease canonically that they would end up somewhere, and most already know that it is about the Ruined King game. So since it should be canon, where are they now in the current lore? So overall, not only is the game event unsatisfactory, but the comic also leaves some questionable holes for once the game's event ends.

Just tossing this out there, but the way the absolver works is by killing the cause of death. Shooting isolde brought back gwen and senna because while viego was the killer, she was the cause. It's also implied that while someone else may have killed akshan's master, its likely that akshan himself was the cause of her death (thus his focus and randomly picking targets. He doesn't know who, he's just projecting his guilt onto others). Also, just tossing this out there, but I suspect we might see a kind of civil war for the shadow isles in the future. Possibly 3 or 5 sided. Thresh, who is trying to seize power, Yorick, trying to save the blessed isles, Moakai trying to uncorrupt the land and Karthus, who was not someone corrupted by the original harrowing but was instead someone from the outside that came to the shadow isles because he loved it...and it loved him back. Plus the possibility of Mord trying to conqour it for his own plan of creating his own afterlife. At the very least, I could see Thresh's new position being seriously challenged by Karthus. Especially works with their character dynamics, since thresh isn't about death, he's about suffering. Where as Karthus is about releasing people from suffering, with death. I could almost see them playing Karthus up as the pseudo-good guy, since, while definitely evil, his intentions actually come from a good intent. He's trying to help people....he just worships death and when all you have is a hammer, everythings a nail.

Well, technically, the reason why the other sentinels didn't appear in the comic is because the comic is also in wr and wr doesn't have the other sentinel skins, so they don't show them. And before anybody said anything,Viego was planned to be released in wr patch 2.4 but his kit is just "too complex for mobile platform" (bugs) , so they have to ice box him. All of the champions in the comic is already (and planned to be) in wild rift so I guess that's the reason, or not.

This could’ve been an incredible event, there are so so many people that would likely be involved in the ruination and if the event got even half of them and introduced them and made use of their characters properly it could’ve been something legendary. Unfortunately they instead got a group of characters who had little to nothing to do with the harrowing and portrayed them incredibly poorly in a story with many many plot holes. I myself didn’t dislike the event per se, I even liked it just bc I was able to put the dialogue aside and hype aside and take it for what it was, but I would’ve LOVED the event if it had lived up to even half of it’s potential.

Hey Necrit, I assume the next canon event will get back to the Demacia plotline, and I would love a video discussing what direction you think they could take the story. There is a pretty good debate on who should win, and honestly, I don't think Demacia should even stand as a nation after this story gets wrapped up. I could see them breaking Demacia into smaller city-states if Sylas wins. I will be honest, I want him to win. Some people say that he went too far, but Demacia is in the middle of an actual literal genocide, so him killing off nobles as an act of war is perfectly ok in my eyes. You need to break the chain of command to win any war, and nobles are just the middlemen of the crown. They rule over the peasants. That is their job. They aren't civilians. They are High-level members of the enemy ruling class. They control the taxes, they control conscription, they control the lands for the kingdom. They are an extension of the king's power over the land. You either need to run them completely out of the country or outright kill them. So I don't think Sylas went too far killing that noble in the slightest. Aside from all that, I feel like kayle and Morgana have to make an appearance by the end. Kayle specifically could do almost anything and be on almost any side, depending on how cutting off her emotions affects her.
