And who, to the f*cking heir of his country that was throwing a tantrum and telling him "Don't you know who I am?", smiled and said "I do, that's why I'd expect you to act a bit more maturely".

In short: Riot has no idea what "canon" actually means. Riot should just hire Necrit, even if just to make sure that every piece of lore is consistent. Runeterra has so much potential to be such a great universe, if Riot would only take it seriously! How do you expect people to get invested into your universe if at any time you could just say "Oh, that doesn't count". Riot needs to get their act together, especially now that Runeterra is going mainstream with Arcane.

[@NodokenStar-k917]

Well here's my example of how to differentiate what cards are canon and what aren't. For example, by putting a green emblem on the lower side of the card description, that would make it canon. But if it's red, then it's not-canon and be recognized as a what-if-scenario.

[@N12015]

For example, The original Cithria cards are definitively a realistic position (Including Cithria the bold, that destiny seems very likely) but Cithria Lady of clouds was definitively just them knowing Vex voice was in riot to get more cool interactions who, well, ended up being a big lore contradiction. At the end of the day that's what happens with too much artistic freedom. LoR cards normally have a more grounded approach to cards than LoL despite those contradictions. There's some rules set in stone but almost none around secondary characters, and that's a big issue considering canon is to get a consistent vision of things.

necrit. ask riot to add a "canon" filter in the search bar of our collections. so they(mostly you) can keep track which cards are canon or not

[@seelfire4725]

that would actually be cool, but i doubt riot wants to do that because their understanding of canon is the same as legends "there are multiple version we will never know which is true and we wont confirm anything unless what got released but also that might not be true because we might release in the future something diffrent. so yes f** you, just buy out products"

[@kakkaohjus]

While it may be lame excuse, Ekko and Zilean do constantly refer to multiple time-lines so the Legends of Runeterra cards may be internally canon to the lore of LoR but not to LoL lore. Though I would personally love it if the LoR cards were changed to fit LoL canon properly.

The lore was huge in my life and very influential to me, but seeing it get retconned *again* but in a more confusing way, and with small details that will obviously become larger in the future, I can't help but think that this is the beginning of the end for the greatness that was, "LoL's Lore"...

I hear a lot of people saying Riot should hire Necrit, and while i have no doubt he would be great at fixing and/or leading the lore to be as great as it could be, im afraid that is exactly why Riot doesnt do it. You see, Necrit would certainly be great at being the lore wiki at riot, making sure the dots are connected right, and drawing great plots that could make sense of older and future lore. But the issue once again lies with Marketing. Necrit is passionate about the lore, and Riot knows this, and they also know that if they were to hire him, whenever the marketing/product team would get an idea they think sounds really cool, with no regards to the impact on the canon lore, Necrit could easily be seen as an obstacle to their plans by saying; “uh sir, that would break the canon lore.” In short, unless the higher ups put a leash on their ambitious marketing team, Necrit will not be hired because he would be too good at his job.

Depends. As of now Riot canon follows the "Blazblue" canon as in all possibilities are canon but just contained in separate universes.

[@Motleydoll123]

I think in the early years of Jarvin 3rd reign, he initially had good counsel to keep him on track, but after his best freind died, he felt angry and bitter, wanting to get revenge on the people who he thinks took him away from him. That good council gave way to bad decisions and those bad decisions forced more bad decisions. By the time of jarvin 3rds death, he likely had realised his own foolish decisions and wanted to make amends, but his life was ended before he could get the chance(either by Leblanc or the mageseekers fearing the loss of power), which in turn provoked jarvin the 4th to become even harder on mages in turn, despite having feelings for a magical creature(shyvana). People can make bad decisions, and the jarvins have made a lot of them, but if jarvin wants to be a good king, he needs to let go of thoughts of vengeance and tend to his people and their needs, end the mage seekers(though given how powerful they are at this point, chances are that it will force another fracturing of the civil war, with now the mage seekers and the mage rebellion under Sylas going after the jarvin), and work on fixing all their mistakes. If anything, this story proves that both jarvin 3 and 4 were more similar than we thought. And both made big mistakes that are going to likely have consequences down the line for them. In the case of jarvin 3, those consequences was the assasination of himself, the mage rebellion, and his own son being dragged into making the same kinds of mistakes as he was. And I don’t doubt lord bavelles death was likely perfectly choreographed by Leblanc and likely Tatiana Crownguard. A noxian mage attack, a massacre that caused the death of the previous grand marshal, followed by a sudden promotion that placed the woman who’s failure caused the deaths of one of the kindest and most good men in demacia, the metaphorical brother of the king, into a position of immense power for herself and her husband’s organisation, a husband who could not wait to start subverting the legacy and name of a good man.

Rito shouldn't go by saying publicly that EVERYTHING is canon if they can't follow that line of thought after. They said that more or less at the beginning when the card game LoR was released. The did it at a time when the game wasn't so developed yet. I mean, how could they know they would keep everything canon? Maybe that was their intention, sure, but then they probably started seeing that they can't develop the game ideas without "non canon" things or something, so they just started adding "what if" cards, and now we have no idea which parts are canon and which are not. This is seriously reminding me of a certain "ruined event"... ruined by many many "options" of lore that in the end were just confusing and stupid sometimes. Why can't they keep it consistent...?

Just adding a "What if -" to the end, or beginning of the card text would be a nice way of saying that this character would interact or grow in this way if they were in this position. I don't think they should get rid of non-canon cards as they do enhance some aspects of the lore, but to know which ones are actually current, and which are timeless would be nice. Cithria is well liked, so it's nice you can see her develop as a character, despite her still being a trainee. Dictating it as non-canon would be a bit inaccurate since she would have developed in that way. We also have a lot of things going on in the Runeterra universe, and not everything is concurrently happening. Tyari becoming The Traveler, and all of the other cards that transition through a set piece like the Bandle Gunners, Mountain Sojourners, and the Corina/Wardens cards are more so isolated events much like comics in the MCU.

wtf why im crying; as if i mourn this man.

[@yoshimitsu8922]

Eldred as a champion would be pretty straightforward. I'd imagine he'd be manaless (but maybe would still have a resource system) and for abilities it would be a combination between Anti-Mage and Silencer from Dota (lots of silences, magic resist and mana-burning). Casters would dread facing you but Fighters/Rangers will be able to face you easily. Not sure what this would mean for balance but it's start on how you'd craft a Mageseeker

[@cisjr7376]

a story that's a double edged sword. It's good, but at what cost

[@Trustfuleevees]

Wholesome dad moment

[@boogrs55]

wow i shed tears

[@connorkovacs7844]

I mean, is there any chance that the cards aren’t referencing this account of J4 getting attacked? I mean he seems to be on a frontline king, this would put him in multiple dangerous situations. Maybe this happened before and that’s why j3 was more willing to send beret out to find him the time he died

[@Anorthunis]

A mageseeker would be an excellent antimage champion, something that negates them, and suppresses their abilities, maybe as a support or a toplaner.

Silence.....

[@SpongeKiller42]

Alright, this story is really cool.

[@scarletred616]

Sona getting attention y'all

[@cruzjohnmark]

Thank you necrit 💙💙💙💙

Demosier (Demacia) Veeery creative, Riot

[@Answerisequal42]

Honestly they dont even needlto change the art, just the flavor text. That would also fix cythria (they should also remove some of her voicelines too btw)

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

7:06 Min.: EVERY good man is like this. Unconditional loving is normal for us men. Some of the women also love like this but they be now days sadly once more rare.

[@ivanpanganiban4149]

A MOMENT SILENCE FOR LORD BARRETT AND ALSO TO OTHER CARDS THAT WE USED TO LOVE BECAUSE OF THIER ART AND STORY WHICH MAY NOT BE CANON ANYMORE.

[@grakator8074]

With some changes it might be possible to change the battle at the gates of mourning into the battle to save J4 therefore bringing at least a little sense into the cards. Maybe? 😥

[@thefirehawk1921]

I would love to see Eldred become a champion. Holy shit he'd be amazing for the lore to be added

Watched it all! Great video, Necrit! I enjoyed the part where the old man died!

How... It's 30 min long it's been 5 minutes

[@JonhCastanho]

love this story

[@noticemeonee-san8551]

Sona lore should continue to Sona using her music to unite people from Zau... I mean Demacia. Mage and non-mage

[@acereraser6758]

Lol I see what u did there hahaha

[@sweetfunnycake2100]

Lord Buvelle died by the hands of Leblanc, the "squire" was probably Leblanc. To be fair I tolerated Veigar building a Mecha in lore he wasn't always the most serious (well in others POV) and most threatening individual in the world, heck his antics actually help people instead of tormenting them its not too far fetched this yordle built a mecha to be more threatening (or taller) but will ultimately help others. The sentinel lore is a so so, there are ones I can tolerate but some are just outright not good

[@jeromegrudzinski5122]

I love Sonas chest, it is so good

[@vladshadowking]

Yeah... I think Riot basically established with the Ruination that there is no cannon. So in the end I'll just go with my headcannon that The Ruination was a complete success, the entire world got corrupted by the mist, the sentinels failed, Viego got reunited with Isolde and they are basically just standing there, maybe went back to sleep together while Thresh rules over Runeterra. And the whole "Isolde not wanting to return to Viego" deal was just Senna hallucinating from years spent in inprisonment while SHE was actually the one who didn't want to return to Lucian which was just as obsessed as Viego. Or idk... still have to work on this headcannon but the point is: World covered in Black Mist, the ruination won, ghosts everywhere. Not like it matters with how messy lore can get

[@alienworld780]

This surely is in Zilean's Multiverse.

I smeel some 8D chess stuuf in the background👀

[@defectivepikachu4582]

just read this today me and necrit are in sync

[@couufdr]

Remember the video he did about the creator saying that the Lore doesn't matter that could be why some of this is happening in this game. If the people up top don't care about the story they're just gonna put whatever out there. If the people writing the story don't keep up with the story and there's different people it can end up like DC lore plot whole & jazz

[@claptrappington5895]

Easy solution. Mark every card this either IS or ISN'T cannon somewhere in the corner of the Art. Would make our lives much eaiser.

[@feinjir1695]

i really hope the ruination event is a what if scenario and the ruined game king shows what really happened

[@scarletred616]

Jarvan model is an eyesore

[@Auri-u6q]

Sona's family is too good for us. We don't deserve them.

[@angelhalliwell7348]

I would not be suprised if Eldrid was the one who killed Jarvan the third bc he heard he way gonna stop the mage seekers from enprisioning mages

[@joaovictordioud7242]

thanks.... i cried

[@raymundtuparan3336]

Imagine a mage seeker in a game that has a silence base skills

[@pandaangy1826]

i stopped believeing that riots stories were cononical when they couldnt keep ruination in line
