TRUE DAMAGE- GIANTS REACTION!! 🔥😳 (FIRST LISTEN) League of Legends | Favour

[@ribon-ichigo]

So the characters from League of Legends are Ekko, Qiyana, Senna, Akali, and Yasuo. Ekko's first voice is Thutmose, last verse is DUCKWRTH, Qiyana is Becky G, Senna is Keke Palmer, and Akali is Soyeon. In game backstory, Akali took a break from KDA to find another more rap-focused group, and thus made True Damage, Yasuo is the DJ producer of the song, his power is related to wind (he's a samurai) so that is why he's in a wind tunnel and he uses his sword to reverse the wind current. Ekko's whole powers are relating to time skipping, jumping, and illusions by messing with time, which is why he's jumping everywhere and all glitchy looking. Senna deals with shadows, and Qiyana's hoop is bladed and she uses to it to attack. I feel like True Damage did a great job of implementing the in-game character powers to their music video counterpart, and knowing how the characters are played in-game really helps grasp what's happening in the video.

[@autumneagle]

One thing that throws a lot of people off is the line where Becky G sings how they ask where Qiqi's at and people think she said Keke so they get them confused. Qiqi being Qiyanna. I've seen a lot of reactors get it twisted

[@franwisco]

up

[@DrunkenRhyin]

Sadly this is the only True Damage song. I hope they do more soon. Especially with KDA's popularity.

[@o_ferro]

So, here comes the story/lore stuff: Akali joined kda and they released Pop Stars, in 2018. With the fame she gathered she went back to her roots and releasede GIANTS with her old group, using her popularity to put her old friends in the spotlight! wOoOoow This year, back with kda they released their EP Kda All Out. Oh and Soyeon is akali both in kda and true damage, cause they are they the same "person" Waiting for your reactions on the last 3 songs from the EP (I'll show you, Drum go Dum and Vilain!) if you chose to do it, ofc Really liking your videos and your genuine personality!

[@TheBroGamer14082]

really? I thought that True Damage was made from not her old friends. But from talent she came across much like how she was discovered by Ahri & Evelynn.

[@o_ferro]

@Richard Xaviery Oh, my bad. I thought she had grown in a place with not many oportunitys and then she went back to the same place and assumed she knew them before kda for some reason. Thank you

[@vuanhachoi2409]

TRUE DAMAGE is a separate group that Akali came across. They’re not her old friends.

[@blakewilson7762]

Don't forget baddest

[@tintinaguirre5918]

and oh, did you noticed that they actually used Akali's rap from POP/Stars into an intro in True Damage?

[@DaveDaLlama]

The live version they did for this at the opening ceremonies last year was super dope.

[@DCInSomnia]

The best for sure

[@autumneagle]

She is still Akali. Storylinewise Akali of KDA got a group of artists together to collab, the DJ is Yasuo, the dude rapping is Ekko, the girls are Senna and Qiyanna.

[@leandroborges8751]

So to clarify your confusion Soyong is still "Akali". This song was a collab she had with True Damage in the time between the release of KDA Pop/Stars and the second single The Baddest. To conclude and so you can understand the characters we have: Soyong as "Akali"; Thuthmose and Duckwrth as "Ekko" (the 1st guy you see, he's played by both int the difference in vocals); Becky G as "Qyianna" (the one on the ring, pink hair); and Keke Palmer as "Senna"; the dj is "Yasuo" as no voice actor or singer. It was also made for the Worlds Finals of the competitive gaming in 2018 or 19 that's why they are in France also. Maybe this could help you out!!

[@ijaejae]

This is Akali’s group. Akali found the members of the group after the success of KDA

[@mreasynote92]

K/DA Live Performance POPSTAR

[@arthurgomez5875]

Kda ep please

[@xenodotwav]

Ekko, the main leader of the group (voiced by Thutmose on the first verse and Duckwrth on the bridge) is a time-traveler in-game, both lore and gameplay-wise. That explains his "glitchiness" all over the place, the weird reverse-beat on the bridge, and his "I keep on shattering time" and other time-related lines.

[@Seraphimvgames]

Favour: “This guy, he might be duckwrth or Thutmose” Me: yes. So they both rap for Ekko. Duckwrth starts the song and Thutmose does the slower ending

[@prodigy_4263]

You got it backwards there bud, duckwrth is the one who ends it

[@TheOmar291992]

The first verse of Ekko was done by one artist. The second verse, which is a verse for Ekko’s shadow and a different artist does it. (which in game is a shadow that follows you around with 4 seconds of delay, which is your ultimate, if you’re in trouble you can use your ult and you teleport to that shadow recovering the health you had 4 seconds ago, cool)

[@rhauammendel3453]

This band exists in the same universe of KDA, akali takes part in both bands but this is after Pop stars. Yasuo the DJ with the sword also takes part on KDA by helping them to record the new song, he appears in one of the HQs and akali says that she likes to get close to the members of a band and create friendship bonds, so she takes the best out of that and learn a bit with each person she meet.

[@greenandsunny]

Dang girl. You are nailing the descriptive language, which is something I super appreciate. Your ability to articulate an experience of the song, my experience of this music video, blows my mind. 🤯 Thank you for sharing yourself with us so genuinely. 🥰

[@satsunada]

I feel obligated to state that the 'time jumps' and flickering is Ekko. The character itself has powers related to time travel and teleporting. In the game, he can completely reset time and his afterimage chases him around to show where he'd be. So yeah, when Yasuo used his wind blade to reverse the fan, Ekko stopped time and changed the beat for a solo. The way it returned to reality with the time speedup at the end shows that. Most of the character abilities or backgrounds were showcased here.. from Qiyana's nobility and weapon to Senna's ghostly form and travel powers. So yeah, this all is so much deeper once you know the stories behind the characters.

[@Sunturyo0318]

That skin was made, I guess exclusive for Louis Vuitton especially the true damage qiyana prestige edition.

[@cryox5850]

Just a short info: there are many different types of music and reasons for the songs. Gians was for Skin promotion World songs: To promote the upcoming world championship once a year Skin songs: To promote the skins KDA: Kinda for skins too but its a own thing now because so many people liked it Special songs: like breathe for their cardgame (its a really good ballad imo) and many others I do not remember more. but this is just to give you a quick info

[@joelturner9371]

Soyeon rap just hits different ❤️

[@SaudadeWanderer]

Akali from True Damage and KDA is the same Akali, that's why she's voiced by Soyeon in both !

[@SisanoS.]

As with most thing in league, this shit has some lore behind it. Akali from K/DA decided to create a side project to find young talents, and Akali being a rapper, it is easy to imagine why this song is so focused on rapping. As for the "static" effects that you were talking about, main boy rapper here is called Ekko - in league of legends he can travel back in time and they incorporated his abilities in the visuals of the song.

[@VPRvanvan]

"The question is: How does she kill it in every track she's on" -Favour, fangirling for Soyeon's Akali

[@sorbbae620]

for context, all the characters that appear in League of Legends music videos are from the game. League currently has 3 groups. Pentakill, a heavy metal band with 6 members. (keeping it simple cus i dont think you would be interested in them) K/DA, the kpop group consisting of Ahri, Evelynn, Kai'sa and Akali. True Damage, the hip hop group consisting of Ekko, Senna, Qiyana, Akali, and Yasuo. K/DA is voiced by Miyeon for Ahri, Madison Beer as Evelynn, Jaira Burns is Kai'sa, and Soyeon is Akali True Damage is voiced by Thutmose and duckwrth both voicing Ekko, Keke Palmer as Senna, Becky G as Qiyana, and Soyeon as Akali once again. Yasuo is the "DJ" for the group, and is not voiced. Ekko having two voices with largely different styles is a nod to his in game abilities. as in game, he has a clone of himself, and is able to distort time.

[@Urukage]

I'm low-key more excited for more True Damage than I am more from K/DA. Their song reveal video where the members performed it live is great too, as well as the "making of" video.

[@rumq9305]

2019 was just a better year, they couldn't perform it this year due to the virus.

[@indivijewelthoughtz1150]

thank you for this! to answer your question about akali... not only is she still akali, this is her "hip hop" group. this was also the release of the first black woman champ... i kinda wanted more senna in this.

[@wallyspencer3253]

they re characters of the game s alternative realm Akali was in this TRUE DAMAGE song but she s still part of KDA group u can go to league of legends website where u ll see comics based on KDA lore where Akali tells Seraphine she was a member of True damage group lyrics are based o, the characters abilities

[@itsdiib]

Fun fact: their clothes (and their in game skins) were designed by Louis Vuitton artists/designers in a collab between League of Legends and Louis Vuitton.

[@itoo4884]

The first verse and slower verse were split between Thutmose and Duckworth.

[@호롤룰루-g3p]

K/da is kpop group. Designed ahri. True Damage is hiphop group. Designed akali. Yes, so-yeon was also akali.

[@ijaejae]

The intro is Akali from pop stars saying “im trouble and you wanting it”

[@luizamartins3622]

little fun fact,the flickering and stuff it's because Ekko's abilities (the cutie rapper I love him so much),he can rewind time so that second verse has that rewind type of effect he owns,Riot always put these nice touches about the characters in the music/videoclips and love your videos!

[@BarbericPengwin]

There are more songs made for LoL's Worlds tournaments, like Rise, Phoenix, Legends Never Die, etc., which are more made FOR LoL rather than BY them, but they're still worth a listen. They're more or less all an "underdog rising to the challenge" feel rather than these character groups' songs, which basically give off the "we're badass" vibes.

[@silvercrow8985]

react to the opening ceremony version pls live stage !! opening ceremony 2019 'in France)

[@pj_lenz]

Yes please, your mind will be blown 🤯

[@P4trickSt4rmie]

Ekko: the guy in the beginning is DUCKWRTH and Thutmose . Ekkos passive in the game is he has a clone that he can warp back in time to where his clone was.

[@inkowen4249]

all the characters that appear in the clip are part of the game, the singers give voice in the music groups. for example soyeon sings like akali

[@kayl23]

Just like how Becky g made a reference to keke as her in game character soyeon made a reference to herself as akali.

[@midnightstudio1701]

😱😱😱 YOU WATCHED IT

[@Folder]

Story time True Damage is a group formed by K/DA member Akali (voiced by Soyeon) during KDA's break after "Popstars". Akali discovered some young talent and wanted to bring them into the spotlight. Singer Senna (Voiced by Keke Palmer, dreads character), Singer/Rapper Qiyanna (voiced by Becky G, The only other female besides Akali and Senna), Rapper Ekko (voiced by Duckwrth and Thutmose, one in the first half the other in the switch up) and Producer Yasuo (voiced by no one cause hes the DJ)

[@nathansutanto6447]

IDK if anyone has answered this but, the flickering lights thingy... If I remember correctly it's Ekko's skill, he has the ability to flicker from here and there

[@TheBroGamer14082]

True dmg only got that one song for now. here's to hoping for more!

[@Amadeusmyth1]

Akali is the name of the in game character that Soyeon voices in the KDA universe. In "More" -the first KDA video you watched- the Chinese singer is the minty haired character at the end who is not a member, but rather a "featured artist" in universe. And welcome to the KDA/League of Legends fandom.

[@RWBYfreak]

You should check out Seraphine's cover of pop/stars. She was the 5th vocalist at the end of the More music video.

Each characters is from the game with different gameplays, theyr looks can change as a normal artist (like skins in the game). Before "The Baddest" of K/DA we believed that there's only gonna be one artist for each character but the recent EP of K/DA showed that there's gonna be different artist for the characters in some songs.

[@kinglywaves1474]

True damage isn’t a group it more like a label that features artist together. And Akali is the name the characters.in this video the characters names are Yasuo,ekko,qyiqina,senna,and Akali. In Kda the characters names are Evelynn,Akali,ahri,and kai sai.

[@jonlesterdiaz7639]

So here, The characters onthe video are like "skins" on the game the champions on the game has a lot of "skins" that makes them like a new different features. Yeah Soyeon's still Akali. The storyline is insane every champion has a "lore" which is the story of their lives or where they came from (that's another story) but for Ekko's side (the one who is rapping) has the power to rewind time and stop the time as you can see on the video.

[@Thanekay]

The effects that you see is because of Ekko’s character ability. He can reverse time and manipulate it for a bit.

[@Atsuyo-z5b]

She's still akali because thats the champ she represents others featured are Ekko(One glitching out), Qiyana (Blue/Pink Hair), Senna (Red Scarf), and Yasuo (DJ)

[@MADMAN67tw]

Game has a bunch of characters... but the kda and true damage are line of skins you can get for characters..... but for ads and promotions they're doung animated music videos using the characters but real iconic artist's are their vocals such as alkali's vocals being soyeon

[@loveleeYT]

Ah yes this one is iconic as WELL

[@CyraRyokoBlaze]

She is still Akali. When they say featuring. It means " these are the voices of the characters" expect for when they said seriaphine. That was because she was a featured character in the group , Soyeon is this Akali here

[@johnhenrybautista1601]

Fun fact: At Akali's backround there you can see "Neverland" which is a fandom name of Idle... Even in K/DA More on Seraphine's parts there's a dumdi dumdi poster there

[@zm312]

You need to think of this like a cartoon or an animated movie. There are the characters, and the people who voice the characters. So the singers are just borrowing their voices for the game's characters. And each singer represents only one character. People explained who they are and the story line in the other comments.

[@zdoomboy]

Yes She is still called Akali. True Damage and KDA are basically costumes for the characters.

[@Adrivan]

Some more reaction ideas for popular league of legends songs (since they dont copyright strike): - RISE (ft. The Glitch Mob, Mako, and The World Alive) - Phoenix (ft. Cailin Russo and Chrissy Constanza) - Awaken (ft. Valerie Broussard) - Legends Never Die (ft. Against The Current) - As We Fall | Varus Music Video - Pentakill: Mortal Reminder - Warriors (ft. Imagine Dragons). The original song is from 2014, but there is a new version for it made in 2020 which also has a cool animation for it.

[@elmitchell3843]

Just been watching your video on the troubles in Ireland the war in Northern Ireland had nothing to do with southern Ireland it was between us and the British and the loyalist. The loyalist people and the British denied us our basic rights. The north of Ireland half of the people were denied jobs, votes, and to own property that is why we rebelled and fought a war for thirty years .thankfully things are a lot better now
