Makes sense but in lol we have two types of lore champions the champions who don't push the lore: Naafiri, blitz, hecarim, vayne, taric, pike and a lot of others. And the ones who push: Zoe, ekko, zillean, aatrox, leblanc, viego, thresh and a lot of other champions. For me it makes sense that some champions don,t push the lore and some others push, like imagine how fast the lore would end if all the champions pushed it.

@abelyoramandradesilva3749 bro the lore will never end. Imagine a novel with 12 chapters and how many events happen in such a novel.we littarly are in chapter 1. We never explored ryze, like that guy alone has insane story potential with many possible encounters with characters. And demacia noxus piltover shurima and the island of ionia. How isn't this lore infinitely explorable with infinite possible encounters and events. There could be an event where all of the nations gets to defend the world from one big threat to the world of runterra despite all their fights and wars between them. This is just an idea i came with on the spot. Like aliens that come to runterra to gather magic and it's whole new champion type. The lore objectively can't end and it's so unexploited right now.

Every champion Pushed Lore in some way. (Maybe not Mundo) Taric told us how it looks when you climb Mount Targon Zoe is concept of "What if Celestial beings were more human and less serious?" Kayle and Morgana - beggining of Demacia and "What is aspect has children?" Naafiri and K'Sante in their stories told us that even ANIMALS can be Ascended/Darkin LeBlanc stories in some way pushed forward the Lore but in some way she just unvailed little stuff that already happened while setting few more question marks. WHOLE ruination event pushed the world forward with each conected champion evolving trough it. Fiddle became primordial great demon, first of 10, Nilah is wielding power from second of their kind. Gwen and Lillia are new type of creature not fully a spirit not fully a real person - more like animated wish of something bigger or stronger Milio didn't gave a lot but still he gave some champions(Zyra, Qiyana, Neeko, Nidalee) place to settle in timeline. Vex is exact oposite of every Yordle we already have. She reveals that Yordles as spirits cannot die. Every Yordle is somewhat personification of concept or archetype. They are immortal and obsesed about something so they become IT. That means they are kind of "unfixable" they will be themselved no matter what. That's why Yordles look liek caricature of their chosen persona Tristana is soldier, Heimer is more about thinking than doing, Lulu wants to "Do magic!" even tho it works 50/50, Vex seems to be depressed 24/7 but still some good feelings spark trough. Just like Veigar tries to be evil but he can't - even Mordekaiser didn't turn him on his side. EVERY champion adds something to the table.

4:45 It was never explicit said that the souls of the Darkin were sealed inside the Chalicar, the "reverse ascension" Ta'anari did with the reflection of the moon on the glass amphitheater seemed to actually killed the Ascended present there because the process of ascension was apparently reverted, Ta'anari even said to Myisha that he was mortal once more before being betrayed by her, she then used the chalicar to cut open his chest and used his heart to create the first Darkin weapon (that supposedly still exists) That's my interpretation at least...
@tamas955426 күн бұрын
We don't know what did she end up doing with his heart, but the rest of what you said is correct. The Chalicar is a powerful magical weapon, which of course Sivir can't really exploit. However they couldn't really make Ta'anari into a Darkin and they honestly had no need to, as he got reverted back to his mortal form. Apparently this moonfire ritual couldn't be used to defeat the rest of the Darkin, thats why they resorted to the sealing method. Some were perhaps so powerful they couldn't have defeated otherwise. This mishap from Necrit is not surprising in the slightest, though

Personally, I think Naafiri talking to herself about how powerful she was and how she almost ruled all the darkin is just her ego. From her story, it seems she was kind of a "I'm the best, I'll kick everybody's ass and I don't need anyone's help, I'm a god, I can take on the world on my own" kind of person and she is a power crazy darkin so it does fit. She is saying something like "oh dude I could TOTALLY solo every single darkin! Aatrox? Pffff! I could beat Aatrox with one hand but daaaaamn this aspect of twilight! Well I guess I can't really fight them now BUT if not for this pesky aspect, dude! I would totally win trust me. She practically saved them!" It's kind of like if I said "dude I could totally beat Goku". Naafiri does give off that kind of vibe, at least to me.
@josiahlewis5838 Жыл бұрын
How I personally interpret Naafiri saying she almost lead them, is that she just thinks herself more powerful than she realistically is. Not saying she isn't powerful at all, just that if I were a near immortal god being my ego wud be pretty big, especially after having eons to remember the days when I could take on some of the best of my kin. Like many of the Darkin she probably thought she knew best and wanted to lead her own way. I'd love to see a story where she actually meets the others and has to confront that the other Darkin don't share her ambitions and even treat her as lesser because of her form, maybe even flat out ignoring her.

I think you misunderstood the "powerful darkin", that is just Naafiri puffing up herself, all the darkin do that... Rhaast does that. And her being able to take multiple hosts... it is more because of the hosts' own peculiar physiology than her power, Varus technically has two hosts and them being human they can together influence him, which means more than one host is too much for Drakins, Naafiri got influenced too... but in a more primal way. To me the story clearly tells that Naafiri isn't even close to being as competent or powerful as she thinks she is, he tentative to use the hounds to make the person carrying her make a mistake misfired, and she got fused with animals, and because there are too many her mind got influenced.
@doomdoot6731 Жыл бұрын
From what I gather, the only Darkin "truly" able to control multiple host bodies simultaneously seems to be Aatrox. Xolaani absolutely loses herself in the Aspect-bane form if I remember my LoR card descriptions right, and Aatrox just brute forces his way through hosts and essentially "burns" up their bodies WAY quicker than the other Darkin. I guess you could make a case for Xolaani being ultimately as powerful as Aatrox in that regard, because she is the one who invented the bloodmagic in the first place. Doesn't necessarily mean she perfected it, but definitely does give her an edge.

Personally also not a fan of how they treated the Darkin weapon as something that can break, BUT it opens up a very interesting new avenue as to why other Darkin weapons haven't been broken: If each piece of the weapon acts as a conduit into the Darkin's mind (and to slip under their control), chances are that a Darkin split over many many pieces would just either reassemble their weapon - assuming their power gets weaker, the more they are split - or that the Darkin would just take over an entire country with their own hivemind, by breaking themself into more and more parts. Could be an interesting way to take a potential Darkin (in LoR or something), where the entire gimmick is that they're a hivemind of a lot of people, that got dominated because they all have a tiny shard of the original weapon on their body somewhere.

I think you have a misconception about Darkin weapon. Those weapons aren't "un-DMG able", but "indestructible". Part of weapon is made literally by Darkin's FLESH, you can look at Aatrox sword with a beating heart, Raast and Naafiri have eye with flesh around it. It had been said Aatrox blade and Raast can change their side, big/small at will. Darkin weapon can be damaged, but because it made with Darkin flesh, the regeneration will never stop.

I (as many others in this comment section) think that "being close to leading the Darkin" is more of a thought rather than a fact. We all know Azir used to be the emporor that ruled over Shurima, but we also know the true leader is (not was, because he actually called the other Darkins) Aatrox. We also know Xoolani tried to Coup d'etat Aatrox out of power by brainwashing the other Darkin. Nagiri was probably just a Soldier among the ranks, however with this newly gained insights she could turn Aatrox on a different path completely. And maybe just maybe find a way to release themselfs from their prison and fight back against the Targonians Or restore Azir's Shurima once again

Honestly, I took the dogs eating the dagger as a consequence of her decision to call to them instead of to the man carrying her. I've always kind of imagined the Darkin has a minor amount of influence over the people around them... allowing them to persuade more hesitant individuals to becoming their hosts. So, when she called to the hounds, she influenced them to seek power they didn't even know existed... and they took it greedily and happily.

@brandonlee3490 Жыл бұрын
so it's probably really obvious but the I believe the reason that Naafiri is a Mid-laner and the next Darkin is going to be a Support is to have at least 1 Darkin champ in each role and I suspect the next Darkin to be a Tank support mainly because I think an Enchanter is not really thematic to the edgy Darkin style but a big aggressive bruiser who feeds kills to their ADC I can see -Top: Aatrox -Jungle: Kyne -Mid: Naafiri -Bot: Varius -Sup: N/A

About the blade splitting part: what if the hounds just bit into it at the same time, so as they say whoever touches it gets possessed. Idk if the story explicitly says that it shattered because that’s a contradiction, but maybe just an inaccurate recollection of the event.

I think you have a misconception about Darkin weapon. Those weapons aren't "un-DMG able", but "indestructible". Part of weapon is made literally by Darkin's FLESH, you can look at Aatrox sword with a beating heart, Raast and Naafiri have eye with flesh around it. It had been said Aatrox blade and Raast can change their side, big/small at will. Darkin weapon can be damaged, but because it made with Darkin flesh, the regeneration will never stop.

Doesn't matter how hungry dogs are, they WON'T eat a pipe of metal (remember that the sword the guy used to defend didn't get eaten). They eat Naafiri blade because the flesh, and if you look at Naafiri, the whole blade still there, intact inside pack mother's skull.
@ToasteBlade Жыл бұрын
It would’ve been cooler if she was actually a weaker Darkin who already had experience using blood magic to make smaller versions of herself and the pack enhanced that in a surprising way for her. Like she had looked down on animals, but experiencing the minds and thoughts of pack animals made her go, “oh, this is so much better.”

I feel that the part where it's said she was powerful enough to almost led the darkin is just her mere pride and ambition, her regret glorifying what could have been if she didn't get tricked and trapped like all the others, just the bitter, mournful musings of someone alone with her thoughts and nothing else, like a lone dog, howling.

darkin fused weapons are not immediate, only part id argue against. almost all the champions have either slowly corrupted the host or had to trick/persuade them into submitting. kayne is a great example.

@entothechesnautknight17627 ай бұрын
I think an easy way to make Nafiri important in a way that doesn't tread on other important darkin's territory *and* tie back into her transformation into the pack mind of the dune hounds is to have her be the *first* Darkin Xolani tricked. Have Xolani promise her the power to lead the other Darkin, more power then any other darkin would receive... If only she would show them the way. If only she would take that first step towards further ascension. If only... She accepted the blood magic. That way you have reason for her to believe that she was so close to leading the Darkin, and you also tie back into what she became by having her be the "pack leader" for the Darkin's transformation into... Well, the Darkin. You have that first hint of Nafiri symbolizing the unity of the pack by having her be the one that makes the Darkin trust Xolani. She doesn't have to be extremely powerful to take over a pack, because she was made to *be* a pack from the very start. Bam, now she's not only got a pretty valid reason to be important, you can have interesting interactions with the other Darkin, as Nafiri was simultaneously the first victim, *and* the one that trapped them as Darkin in the first place. It'd especially be interesting in terms of her trying to unite them, having to find ways to ether instill trust or force loyalty and grow the pack. Speaking of that pack, you've also got her little spheal about how everyone is part of one and can think as one, even supposedly independent creatures like humans. That, combined with her desire to grow her pack more, seems to me to hint at her maybe not wanting the same destruction the other Darkin want; the same death and end. She seems more... Collectivist. Like instead of death, she wants to give the Darkin, *her* pack, purpose, in the pack, with the pack, *as* the pack. This would put her at odds with not just Xolani, for control of the Darkin, but Aatrox as well, as she'd oppose his desire to end their suffering. I think Nefiri could be potentially very interesting, but ultimately... I have to agree the lore feels rushed. It feels like there was more there they didnt get to write.
