thanks for the comment i was dead on in my guess, even the first bear we see with the claw like armor around his shoulders i thought wasn't voli and he was summoning or praying his power somehow, im not very well versed in the lore but i know that volibear / valhir is a primal god and had he been there the song playing would've been different and sejuani would not be rising up 😂

[@worthlesstrash9662]

The scene that gets me the most is when Atreus stabs his weapon into the ground when he's about to fight humans, and only takes it up again when facing Leona, the Aspect of the sun. Atreus is the true manifestation of the potential of humanity, and no damn Targon-infused demigod Aspect is going to play games with humans ever again if he has a say in it.

[@Sir-Bane]

Putting his weapon down (or standing up in the ground) is Atreus' sign of peace. The guardians weren't going to be peaceful, but he didn't want to kill them, so he defeats them using just his shield and own hands. He only takes up his weapon when Leona (now an Aspect) has come down as he wants to fight with the aspects.

[@minty1059]

Wasn't Atreus in love with Leona before the aspect of war Pantheon took possession of him?

[@tizianofinozzi4521]

@@minty1059 that was the old Pantheon, i mean before the Rework.

[@KingAxel94]

For me it's Sejuani's scream ... puuh goosebumps

[@Sir-Bane]

@@minty1059 Sorry was out so only just read this. That was his old lore. In short, the lore of them now from what I gather with all the new lore and changes over the years is..... Atreus - has a very strong dislike to aspects. He basically thinks they're assholes, and don't do anything for good especially after being possessed by one (Pantheon) and being forced to fight. He also has a specific dislike to the aspect that possesses Leona, because at some point, that aspect let a load of Atreus' friends just die from barbarians, and rather than punish them she let them go (or something like that).

This music video shows a lot of the progress in the stories in the lore at the moment, there are a bunch of short stories that talks about what happens in the video except for what Pantheon is doing. Volibear didn't get messed up yet, in this video Sejuani and Olaf is fighting Volibears followers called the Ursine that consists of spirit walkers (human shapeshifters).

[@koening5119]

Is Volibear not extremely powerful if his followers are that strong? I don't really know his lore but isnt he a demigod?

[@KamiStyleBA]

[@siliarba]

@@koening5119 He's a force of nature ^^

[@mataburt]

I thought the spirit walkers were allied with The Winter's Claw? I haven't read all the lore but I've always seen them on good terms since from what I remember, their philosophies were aligned.

[@siliarba]

@@mataburt They are, but it's a loose alliance. Both the Winter Claw and the Ursine spirit walkers have an ideology of, hardships turn people stronger and remove those who couldn't creating a tribe of only those worthy to survive. While the Winter's claw believes this in terms of battle, fighting and enduring hardships in general, they don't believe that risking starvation simply because there isn't enough to eat counts as enduring a hardship. So they use the, basically magical, cauldron of Ornn, if you drink from the cauldron, you're fed for a year. The Ursine spirit walkers however, believe that only surviving if you find enough to eat, manage to hunt enough, is the truest form of their ideology so they see the cauldron as the ultimate weakness. So in recent events, they stole the cauldron which Sejuani really wants back ^^.

@@AvengedKittyLP He mentioned a long time ago that he used to play league.

[@TheXXIJackpot]

Almost nobody talks about Ornn making a weapon, from heating and striking the metal, to quenching (this process may end up with the blade completely useless). It's the path a warrior must take in the the heat of the battle, the pressure and will to never give up even in the face of adversity

[@Vitskugga]

Not only that, but the fact that Ornn is actually making a weapon is a BIG fucking thing! He has literally not made a weapon at all ever since his fight with Volibear so for ages. The fact he's making one now is gonna have a big reason behind it. He's preparing for war!

[@thoren907]

One thing that i hadn’t really processed until now is that when the ursine is calling lightning at 5:47 the sound in the background is the sound that volibears ult makes when you use it

[@gingerelvis93]

Something that you mention around 6 minutes in that I really love and Riot does a lot of is when they sync the animation up with the audio so you get sort of "hits" corresponding to drum impacts, the 2020 version of Warriors that Riot did had that with Vi punching dudes to a drum beat and it's just so nice

[@sexcannonmusic284]

The detail in the animation actually lets them express regret , realization , pain , in such different and realistic ways compared to before. It's incredible what technology allows us to do.

[@shangshang220]

This is probably the reaction video that I like most for The Call. I think the way you are connected to the song, the music, the lyrics, and the pacing is just very authentic, natural and touching.

[@sumn4me31]

Big thing about the humming, it starts with just Ornn's in game hum. Then as it escalates and the ursine are introduced, Volibear's hum is added.

Perfect reaction from a professional kind of perspective and his English is really satisfying the way he perfectly puts his thoughts on his tongue. Also a tip; when you pause the video you can skip frame per frame using the , and . shortcuts. So you don't have to try to pause at an exact moment like that.

[@alpfeanor6431]

Great reaction. By the time I write this you will have already learned that it wasn't volibear you have seen :D It was just an ursine.We see the silhouette of volibear in the sky. I highly recommend you read the storyline of Pantheon. It is one of the best lore of the entire runeterra.He has the aspect of war within himself and he is just pissed about the divinities humiliating the mortals. So he is looking for revenge. Pantheon jumped into sky to fight Aurelion Sol probably... We don't know yet. The jumping scene was legendary to be honest. A little detail if you didn't notice. When pantheon approached to the Gate he didn't want to fight innocent solari fighters because he is way more stronger than these soldies. So he put the spear away as symbol of respect. After that soldiers rejected and fight began but he didn't use his spear he just used his shield and fist. Because his spear hosts the aspect of war, that wouldn't be fair :D

[@naomiphan1253]

To those who think Ornn is just chilling, he’s really not haha. In the lore, he hasn’t forged a weapon in centuries, and he is the God of the forge. Everything he makes is immensely powerful. He once made himself a fork but because he didn’t like it, he threw it away. He later found out that mortals were using it as a legendary trident because it was so powerful. The fact that he is making an actual, proper sword shows that he is preparing for war. To return to the human realm or to fight the war of Gods, we don’t yet know. But it’s a huge, huge deal and should quite frankly terrify you if you really think about it.

[@orihime2u913]

It's always when Sejuani cries(i realizesd now), her facial expression and raw emotion, without it I don't think this soundtrack would have had me cry as much Lol

[@jakkdlaw]

Us: this is the best cinematic ever Riot: you ain't seen nothing yet.

[@josephvinik2476]

Cool little thing about what you said about this being similar to rise. In the league of legends universe, there is a mountain called Mount Targon and people climb it for a chance to essentially become a god. Rise represented the real world version of that climb up Mount Targon in LoL esports. In this cinematic Pantheon is climbing Mount Targon, so your comparison was spot on

[@AustinFoss00]

So there's really no lore on what Atreus/Pantheon is doing rn, but I guess it's also probably pretty simple. He hates that the other Gods basically use humans and treat them like shit, and no Aspect or Darkin is safe from the protector of men. He even puts his spear down when facing humans. What a guy

[@Real_Genji]

Atreus is the practically the personification of humanity. He's such a great person to mankind because he IS mankind. He is their strength, he will fight against these untouchable gods in man's place. Fucking legend

There was indeed Volibear's shadow in the sky Because Volibear is literally the embodiment of the storm But there were his servants on the battlefield - the Ursins These are people who, of their own free will, were distorted by his magic and took their primitive wild form All Volibear wants is for all people to remember the time when only the strongest survived While his brother Ornn, albeit without enthusiasm, supports and protects people whose lives, unlike demigods, are short. Forging weapons and giving them fire for which Volibear hates him

[@nestorjrlim3938]

To be clear Knox, that wasn't Volibear, those were his followers. Volibears religious fanatics (Volibear is a Demigod of Freljord), tend to incarnate primal instincts, and the closer they become to the Primal power of the Freljord, the close they resemble Volibear. Some are able to go in and out of transformation, and those were probably transformed in order to fight Sejuani.
