[@noirangel8292]

I think the story is bland if you take away the general lore of Leauge, the character is bland and there's not much interesting about him, his story's main issue was being rockheaded and not open to his friend "strategy" whatever excuse that is, even though they hunted many times before. (the flaw of the character has no place in his general lore of being a good hunter which entails strategy and listing to people) and the redemption arc is so stupid and silly, if water is the weakness and his friend knew but didn't say anything because the writer's moral is "If only he listened just for 2 seconds "Water is the weakness" he would have had his friend and lover and he would have hunted the beast earlier with less damage to nazuma" So silly of a character story but the general Shurima lore and world building as always good, but i hope there are monsters in the region other than sundesk made monsters are actually threatening, if one normal guy can be called the pride of his city for killing the strongest monster they know 1 v 1 , that says much about how weak the normal monsters in the region which killed and limited the magic of being in a monster Hunter kind of zone

[@tamas9554]

Imagine being a one of the best vastayan hunters on your continent, getting dozens of trophies through hard work, without anyone teaching you, and then getting your ass whooped by a single, human-sized voidborn. Then there is K'sante who defeated a literal demigod in a 1v1, only as a simple human 🙂 Do people *seriously* don't understand how dumb is this? Mortal humans should be no match for a powerful magical creature like that, not without any magic of their own, at least. K'sante got the upper hand by exploiting the monster's weaknesses, for sure, but in the end he should stand no chance against a creature like that in a physical confrontation. That creature was at least on the level of a true God-warrior in terms of physical strenght, someone like Renekton. How likely is it that K'sante can stand against Renekton? No chance League was always a grounded fantasy, more so than for example WoW. Humans in this universe are just regular humans, they were never capable anything of this volumen in past stories. I really dislike it when the lore builds around a character, instead of the character being just another shard of the same story, you know, with limitations and all. In this story, the limitation only existed in K'sante's head, while that clearly shouldn't have been the case :D

[@katgut]

Xerath is probably the only one able to restore proto sundisks because of his power from the original sundisk, he might even be able to do that himself just using the disk as a lens to not immediately obliterate whatever he puts his power into

[@ThreeFacedLiar]

Azir is alive though.

[@katgut]

@@ThreeFacedLiar and he has the actual sundisk

[@CaptainShinyify]

@@ThreeFacedLiar xerath can only restore proto-sundisks because he absorbed the sundisk energy directly. The result of doing so is his current form, and not turning into an animal like Nasus or Renekton. He is straight up pure sundisk energy, which is why not even azir can do what xerath can, because azir is just a conventional ascended

[@tamas9554]

We don't have the story of Nerimazeth up on the Universe webpage anymore, sadly. However, I can assure you that even if it was destroyed by the proto Sun Disk, it was rebuilt afterwards, and got destroyed again when the Ascended avenged Azir's death by destroying Xerath's birthtown. In reality, Xerath being able to make baccai is impossible, and therefore is a plothole. Even if something was left over from the Sun Disk in Nerimazeth, the shurimans/targonians would have disposed of it after the incident. We also know that the Ascension ritual requires the help of Shurima's "Gods", likely the Aspects in this case. The priests had to consult them before beginning a ritual

[@jsc1jake512]

I love how K'Sante was made as a character. Being a representation character there's a bit of a stigma that they're poorly written but K'Sante's lore breaks that expectation that he's just going to be another bad character whose personality centers around his homosexuality. It doesn't. He's a man who learned his lesson and whether he was with a man or woman doesn't matter because that's just an aspect of who he is, it's not his entire person. My favorite K'Sante line is definitely "No monster greater than pride" because although the Cobra-lion was symbolic for his greatest monster the beast itself was not, it was the pride he attached to the beast that he considered his greatest enemy, not the Cobra-lion itself. Even killing the beast and using its armor as a weapon is symbolic of him defeating his monster and carrying the lessons he learned on his journey. Another thing I liked about his character is how him and Tope did not end up together. I liked this because it's so easy to think that some things are meant to be, and that doesn't just apply to love. The truth is, even though it seems like it was meant to be, sometimes it just isn't and that's okay. Sometimes it feels as if things went wrong, that you've fallen out of the world because it didn't end up right, but even if it didn't that doesn't mean you should give up. Look at K'Sante, even though he's not real he's a good metaphor for what it's like to carry yourself forward instead of staying stagnant. For him, his monster was pride but for some others it's different. K'Sante even has a line where he says "We were friends, then lovers, then apart... some hunts fail; some love stories, too."

[@Gidonamor]

Yeah, I really like that his boyfriend could have been female, and the character wouldn’t be drastically different

[@burdenedsceptile894]

@@Gidonamor I might have to disagree with that point. I think weather it makes sense for Ksante to be hetero or homo is dependent on the military structure of Nazuma. Ksante is a warrior at heart and his battles are where he truly displays himslef. Because of this I think it only make sense for him to be attracted to those who he fights alongside. If the military structure is almost exclusively male, then it would make more sense for him to be in a homosexual relationship. However if the military structure is split more towards 50/50 male/female then it would make sense for him to be either heterosexual or homosexual. Edit: just changed the formatting.

[@burdenedsceptile894]

One thing I do hope they change is the shield on his e. It d9esnt really make sense for a character like him who is focused on protecting his team theough aggression to pull that aggresions towards his teammates. I feel like the sheild on himself is fine, and the bonus dash length is a bit scary but fine, but the fact that it shields allies can be removed very easily without harming the champion's identity.

[@louisrobitaille5810]

19:08 "My ancestors built Nazumah. No god, king, or beast could conquer them and none will conquer me!" That's great K'Sante, but have you ever seen what an actually dangerous being can do? Bel'Veth destroyed a whole port town by herself, Xerath obliterated the capital of Shurima during its prime, the previous Aspect of the Twilight sealed hundreds of Darkins (veteran Ascendeds from the battle of Icathia) in a single spell, and the Targonians have enslaved a dragon that can create and destroy stars on a whim. I don't think a single guy with a little bit of knowledge is gonna make a difference 😂.

[@tamas9554]

Its pretty silly that the writers didn't already realise this plothole. If Nazumah (as said in his story), truly existed alongside the Ascended, there is no way they weren't a part of the empire. Same thing with the Darkin, too. Even a single Ascended should have been able to conquer Nazumah by themselves, there is no way a city-state like this would be able to co-exist with these demigods on the same continent for hundreds of years :DDD (also, the timeline is screwed up too in his story XD) Also, there were never "hundreds of Darkins". I'd doubt there were more than a 100 Ascended together in Shurima's entire history. The Ascension ritual was a privilige of only a few, exceptional people, who were worthy of god-like power. Also, a lot of Ascended died in the Void-war, but we know from the story "Twilight of the Gods", that most of the Ascended died during the Darkin wars

[@henrichbala3475]

When i play K'sante, i tend to get plays all by myself. all of his kits, tankyness makes you want to fight in the battle alone 'coz you know you have the abilities to do so ending into getting 1v5 and die, slowly giving the enemy team small advantages to get back to the game. His lore really translates to the game.

I have another theory on how xerath creates those ascended... baccai... monsters? Yes, you do need a sun disc to create those. But what is xerath but all the power the great sundisc had to offer concentrated in one beeing? So he could be seen as a walking sundisc if riot wants to put it this way. If they do take this route he wouldnt need a sun disc to create ascended. He would only have to figure out how to do it himself. I know this wouldnt be as cool but it would be faar more badass instead (and its a bit more far fetched but i think in the realm of possibilities) :D

[@harryakage4549]

So in shurima, there are a lot of problems. In the west there are targon and xerath is there with the baccai, in the south there is the void , in the east there is zyra that want to conquerr shurima. In the north there is no Noxus that want to conquer shurima. And that's not all of it because the previous gold warriors that been corrupted by the void is become darkins

[@tamas9554]

The void will never become as large of a threat as it was back in. Icathia was a lush jungle area, much like Ixtal, so the void had a lot of biomass/life force to drain away and build from. This is why the void creatures were so many in numbers, they just had a lot to consume. Currently, most of Shurima is a lifeless desert, along with Icathia. If the void was able to consume something like Ixtal, well then that would be the end of the world :D
