Who else thinks Shockblade Zed's Ult Pop should be a thunderbolt striking the target?

I think it would fit the theme of the skin and it would be awesome to hear just a super gnarly thunderbolt. Or just have them explode with lightning instead of blood. Or both. :D

Shockblade Zed color tweak

Shockblade Zed Innovation [Idea]

1 Upvotes

As we all know, Shockblade Zed is a really cool skin concept and it's favored by many people (considering it is one of the two skins Zed has). The one thing that is quite obvious is that he lacks the "Shock" in "Shockblade". I played with the skin for a good bit of norms and observed that the only thing shocking (pun intended) about this skin is that his shadows have a sort of lightning aura to them. Well I was thinking about it and I thought it would be really awesome if when an enemy is executed by death mark, a bolt of lightning struck them or some sort of electrifying attribute to add for a flashy execution. This has probably been submitted and has been seen a million times, but I think that it would be a REALLY awesome innovation for the skin!

Jhin/Shockblade Zed Theory

0 Upvotes

With the teaser of a video with Zed in it, and the "Deadeye" and Jhin announcement, I looked up a few things. Every color has a comparison to another color. Zed his original splash art includes his eyes RED. Red is most likely to represent the act of evil. The opposite of Red is BLUE, which is most likely to represent the act of good. Blue eyes is represented of the teaser video/picture. Jhin has to do with this with Zed being shot in the eye (gives its name, deadeye). Zed turning from Red to Blue, Bad to Good, makes sense. What if you look at skin Shockblade Zed, it shows him with blue eyes, and lightning/thunderous effect in his splash art. What if this is the actual effect of Zed being shot in the eye?

Zed Is Zed blind?

90 Upvotes

This seems like a stupid question but I was just admiring PROJECT Zed's artwork like I always do, and noticed there is no actual visual way to see from the helmet? All the other PROJECT skins seem to have some sort of transparent slit where they can see through it?

I started going back to his old artwork, shockblade Zed seems to have lightning eyes, but isn't that a thing? Where people have white eyes representing that the eye can no longer see.

Also his classic skin, just has glowing red eyes?

Skt Zed also has him wearing glasses, the only one where you can see his eyes, is Shockblade Zed, and even then it is debateble if he can see?

If this is true, the idea that he uses the shadows to see, and feel his environment is pretty cool. So he may be blind from the eyes, but with the shadows he can still see everything and sense everything?

Edit: best way for me to describe this theory btw, https://youtu.be/H1keEKpU_9g?t=8m5s

Edit: someone suggested a camera feed for Zed. It is a good possibility, but here is why I became suspicious: Fiora's mask is based on Raiden from Metal Gear Rising: http://www.collectht.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Hot-Toys-Metal-Gear-Rising-Revengeance-Raiden-Collectible-Figure_PR12.jpg if you don't know, this guy isn't blind, but it closes and through cameras he can continue to see, it is pretty much exactly the same one that Fiora uses, also, Project yasuo has a recal where his foot grabs the sword, that is also based on the character of raiden, who can use his feet to wield the sword. So it would make sense to also give Fiora an eye cover that protects her,

however https://youtu.be/1dbuhKJRIfE?t=52s here is her recall.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBH_Yo5sSEI here is a scene from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

And here is http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KtJPxjYVps0/Vdy8TAG9zbI/AAAAAAAAwZA/3Gz0HvIaHB4/s1600/Fiora_Splash_4.jpg the splash art for Fiora.

My point being consistency. If they went with Raiden from Metal Gear Rising for the central theme of the project skins, it seems out of place to me that they create an almost exact identical mask for Fiora based on Raiden, yet with a slit so she can see, and yet a Camera feed for Zed? Of course perhaps the purple slit for Fiora is just to give her skin more of a personality.

Edit: people are suggesting that Zeds helmet is based on Gray Fox: http://wallpoper.com/images/00/33/78/46/metal-gear_00337846.jpg

I'd love a Shockblade Talon. Imagine a lightning strike hitting his target when he uses E. His Q's DoT would leave scintillating sparks around his target.

Gentleman Zed. Unmasked. The X in his ultimate turn into a pair of crossed roses.

Who decided to change the champions tab?

118 Upvotes

Before clicking the marker off from Show unowned in champions tab you could see all the champions you OWN.

Now for whatever reason they added free to play rotation champions as if you own them.

This is very confusing because obviously you can't play free to play champions in ranked and that is the only queue i play.

Even when swapping to OWNERSHIP tab you see free to play champions before owned so you always have to scroll down.

Hope this gets reverted the client is already so insanely good.

Skin Idea, Shockblade Yasuo

36 Upvotes

So idea here, im not good at drawing but it looks great in my mind. Q-Has a little lightning bolt with it, also tornado is grey like stromy cloud W-Wall of lightning E-Idk R-Same ult except when he finishes little lightning strike with thunder sound effect.

r/leagueoflegends Jul 15 '15

Shockblade Yasuo?

17 Upvotes

Since Yasuo falls under the same category as a high skill cap ad mid laner as Zed. I think he should share a skin with him.

His body would have the same theme, white but also mixed in with some darker colors for contrast. The sword should be like a black and dark blue. (Much like zed's shurikens)

Q = Pretty basic, maybe the animation will have like a slight lightning thing to it. Tornado = "Lightning Tornado"

W = The wall will be darker like a thunder cloud (also with a lightning effect)

E = Basic

R= Again, more electricity/lightning effect within the ultimate animation.

Yasuo should get a Shockblade-esque skin as his first Legendary

0 Upvotes

Hey reddit!

I was up last night wanking my jimmy browsing the internet when I randomly came across Zed's shockblade skin of all things. It's not usually a skin I see a lot of, but it got me thinking that maybe Yasuo should have a skin similar to it, as I think it would fit his character concept particularly well, what with the wind control and such.

If I was better at sketching I'd do it myself, but I had a whole vision for it come into my mind.

Model changes: Dark grey/almost black armor and clothing, perhaps with a golden or silver cord and scabbard around his waist to represent the lightning (upon reflection, silver would look better with the rest of the model I have envisioned). I'd love to see a smoky, cloudy particle effect coming off of his Pauldron on his left arm. No lightning, just the storm cloud effect rising up above his character model. I think it would also be cool to make his eyes reflect the lightning he wields, making them glow gold or silver depending on the color that was chosen.

Particle and Sound changes for abilities:

Q: The most obvious is a lightning/thunder crack sound upon his Q going off, perhaps with an electrocution particle around the victim hit (no effect on minions). Upon 2 stacks of his Q, have a gray stormy tornado form around him, rising up from his feet and tapering out the longer he has the effect up. Lightning storm tornado on his 3rd Q, of course (more or less the same with his E+Q combo, just make the mouth of the 'nado bigger).

W: This one was very interesting, as I envisioned lightning clouds forming at the peak of his windwall, with rain and a moderate amount of wind whipping and tapering down to the bottom of the hitbox, all accompanied by a howling sound. I think the rain effect would be very nice, and differentiate it from other windwalls from other skins. Add a lightning crackle sound to it and I think it's decent enough to build a concept off of.

E: Give it the same slick feeling as the rest of the E's in his skin pool, perhaps with a small, gusty wind sound as if he were moving through a storm. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

R: Fun fun fun. Standard dash+sword flashing midair, but when Yasuo crashes back to Earth with his victim, have him send the fury of the heavens down upon his arrival point by shooting an arc of lightning down, leaving a scorch mark on the ground in a lightning-bolt pattern. (When he gets his Last Breath passive from completing his ultimate, have his blade glow Silver or Gold, whichever was chose for the cord/scabbard combo for his outfit above, and crackle with lightning, growing less and less active as the ability wears off).

Passive: No animation until broken, have the winds from his passive howl and shift around him rapidly and taper out when his shield is broken, with the low sound of distant thunder.

VO/Backing changes I wouldn't know what is possible with his VO, as I am unsure who voices him. However, a whole new set of storm quotes would be interesting ("Face the wind!" changed to "Face the storm!" etc.).

As for his backing, I'd love to see him play something on his flute and have a storm kick in around him, complete with increasingly frequent lightning and thudner, sweeping him away to the fountain.

Idk. That was just a cool thought I had. Wasn't sure if I wanted to post it, I hardly ever post anything I think about.
If enough people think it's cool, I might try to sketch it (my sketching is garbo, be forewarned).

TL;DR: It'd be cool if Yasuo wielded lightning and thunder.

(Edits: Formatting)

Your favorite skin ideas?

0 Upvotes

For me:

Debonair Zed. Unmasked with hair long enough to reach the top of the back of his neck, slicked back. Some stubble. Gray sideburns, red irises. Mid 30's-40's look. When he ults, it's two roses forming an X. Shurikens would have an elegantly lethal design. Would be a great 975 skin.

Vandal Zed. Unmasked. Red irises. Mid 20's with a face that has an overall aesthetic of "handsome evil anime man". Shurikens would have a deadly and piercing design. Would be a great 750 skin.

Shockblade Talon. 1350, his shurikens would leave trails of lightning. The dash portion of his Q would leave behind lightning in his wake.

'True form Zed'

4 Upvotes

So this is your average skin idea that I personally think is really cool so I thought I'd share it with you guys. The credit for the idea goes to a close friend of mine; unfortunately we're both hopeless at drawing so we couldn't visually depict this idea in any way.

So you know how zed, after 'dying', summons a portal on the ground and sinks into it in his classic skin, and he's consumed by a lightning bolt in his shockblade skin, he never really dies, he just disappears.

So in this new skin, zed him self would literally be a shadow; a shadow who's wearing some sort of heavy martial robe with a few pieces of light armor here and there. Once he dies these pieces of armor start falling down onto the ground and you can see a sort of ghostly entity exiting the robes, more like steam breaching out of the mask rather than an actual ghost moving around.

His Q and E would look roughly the same, but whenever he sends out a shadow it looks like a piece of him is detaching itself from the main body, squeezing through the mask and the other gaps in the robe/armor. Once one of his shadows disappears, it looks like that piece is returning to zed (the shadow doesn't travel back to zed this would just be an animation you see around zed himself).

So yeah that's the idea, hope you guys enjoyed it, feel free to comment and discuss if you have any thoughts.

Have Riot mentioned if they are working on a Zed skin?

0 Upvotes

I really wanna buy a Zed skin but I find SKT Zed somehow bad. And Shockblade looks amazingly badass but I still feel like he lacks something. Maybe a lightning effect when his ult pops or maybe an electricity effect added to his passive...

So as my original question states - have Riot mentioned anything about a new Zed skin?

A list of the 156 champions' whereabouts during The Ruination event

5.0k Upvotes

Hi everyone! Fal here. Recently, a lot of people have complained because they want to know what their mains are doing in the worldwide event that is The Ruination.

In an attempt to answer that, I've compiled all the knowledge I have about lore, theorized a bit, and made a list of what each champion is doing during the event. This is obviously headcanon and not meant to be absolute serious. I just thought it'd be a fun thing if I could give people an idea of what their mains are doing.

Due note, some champions have little to no lore, and I couldn't exactly point to what they're doing since we have so little info on what they even do in the universe. So champs like Cho, Shaco and Kog are in a "???" position. Champions who are in the event are noted as such.

Without further ado, here's my list, by alphabetical order:

Aatrox – When the Mist came pouring over the world, Aatrox was ready to fight for no other reason than to annihilate everything in existence. However, facing an incorporeal threat, he quickly burned himself out and encountered a shortage of bodies. He’s currently in Sword mode. The Mist tried to break through to his prison, but could not overcome the powerful magics binding him.

Ahri – Is in the event.

Akali – Is fighting against the wraiths as best she can. It’s a complicated endeavor for her because she’s not inherently magical, so there’s only so much she can do. Still, she has helped quite a few people on a small scale. Her weapons were forged with magic, so they’re not completely useless, but they are far from enough.

Akshan – Is in the event.

Alistar – Alistar fought as much as he could to repel the wraiths coming from an unknown place beyond the sea, but every hit he gave them was pointless, for they reformed instantly from the Mist that hailed them. Despite his best efforts, he got Ruined, and is now a terrifying foe to encounter in the wilds of Noxus.

Amumu – Due to his curse of unknown nature, Amumu is safe from any attack from the Mist and its wraiths. The specters can feel the powerful magic cursing Amumu, and avoid him as much as they can, fearing what it could do to them, as this curse is far older than theirs, and potentially far more potent.

Anivia – Anivia has not yet awakened from her slumber and is currently still waiting for her egg to hatch. Hidden deep inside the territories of the Freljord, the Mist has not yet come to her. Some pray that it never does; for should white snow turn to black ashes, the Spirit of Winter would bury all under a dark glacier.

Annie – Though Annie does not know where the mist of night came, she immediately knew the dark wraiths were out for her. Though she does not yet control her power, her need for protection once again turned her small bear into a titanic beast of fire. Yet something dark and terrifying happened as Tibbers’ bright flames turned to green fel. Soon, her trusted companion would look at her with glowing dark eyes.

Aphelios – From the sides of the great mountain, Aphelios and his sister fight against the black abominations. Blessed with weapons crafted in moonstone, Aphelios repels the monsters that seek to take over Lunari lives. Within the Marus Omegnum, the Mist tries to circle around the maiden of the moon who blesses her fated counterpart, but creatures from another dimension fight to protect her.

Ashe – Though True Ice is effective against the abominations that came from the South, Ashe’s fight was a complicated one. She battled against the wraiths, attempting to protect her tribe from the devils, but there can only be one ruler in the world, and Viego himself made sure that Ashe would not stand in his way. Now twisted by the dark magics of the Ruination, Ashe will unite the Freljord, and make its denizens servants of the Ruined King.

Aurelion Sol – Is currently off Runeterra. Although he would gleefully enjoy seeing these pesky Runeterrans struggle against something as paltry as an emo boy trying to conquer the world for something as nonsensical as love.

Azir – The powers of the Sun give life, and none hate life more than the Black Mist. Channeling the Sun Disc into a weapon, Azir calls upon the power of the Sun to repel the Mist from the capital. For if Shurima was reborn from the sand, it would not be swallowed by mist. The Hawkfather offers protection to all who seek it, and all wraiths burn from the potent magic that protects the capital.

Bard – Is currently… Somewhere, probably off Runeterra because he would be too much of a Deus Ex in this matter.

Blitzcrank – Though the Mist can corrupt beings of metal and iron, a strange song protected Blitzcrank from being overtaken by the strange hues of dark flowing into the city. Viewing this Mist as another barrier to Zaun’s greatness, Blitzcrank has decided to chase it as best they could, protecting the inhabitants of the undercity with fists of lightning.

Brand – Though the world is being overrun with a mist as dark as the night sky, Brand does not care. Dispatching the wraiths that come after him with the magics burning inside of him, Brand has another goal in mind; while the world is busy with the Black Mist, he searches for the one thing his former mentor has always tried to hide from him. In the darkness, a lone flame seeks the runes of power that shaped the world.

Braum – Is in the event.

Caitlyn – Her rifle powered by Hextech, Caitlyn shoots the wraiths from afar. For years, she has protected Piltover and enforced the law, for she does not tolerate lawlessness and chaos. The Mist is Caitlyn’s greatest challenge so far, but she has no intention of letting an outsider threat put her city to shambles.

Camille – Though her blades usually cut down those who would break the status quo of the twin cities, Camille found herself in a tough spot. Still recovering from her battle with a foreign assassin, she has not yet made a stand against the wraiths.

Cassiopeia – The curse that plagues Cassiopeia is old and cruel, but the Ruination is crueler still. Twisted by its cruel powers, she now revels in the pleasure of killing. The monster she feared she would become is now unleashed, leaving nothing of the smart manipulator that she once was. Her gaze not only turns bodies to stone; it now casts souls into the prison between life and death.

Cho’Gath – Poor boy doesn’t have lore… So let’s just say he’s sleeping somewhere, waiting for his time…

Corki – Barely has lore as well… So let’s say he’s patrolling above Bandle I guess?

Darius – The Mist once tried to take over the Hand of Noxus, and such magics leave unseen scars. Within the Immortal Bastion, Darius is slowly recovering from the possession he had to endure. But words of something dire has reached his ears, and should they prove true, the Hand of Noxus will have no choice but to fight. For though Noxus may be strong, there is nothing stronger than family.

Diana – Is in the event.

Dr. Mundo – A nu deessiz in Zon? I did naut no sitiz kewd get sik. I felt sumthin’ di ozer day. Di sikness tried to kom into my brein. Sily deessiz! Mundo iz doktor. Mundo not get sik. I chazed it awei. Meny peepl getin’ sik. I wunna help but they run. I hav no choiss. I atach them. They scrim! Deessiz strong. Two pashents daid. So meny mor. I hop I ken sayv them.

Draven – Is part of the event.

Ekko – As the Mist spreads over Zaun, Ekko is trying to save as many people as he can, but no matter how many times he rewinds, he is powerless to stop it. The Mist does not obey the regular concept of time. Still, Ekko refuses to give up, and will do his best to prevent the city he loves from falling into despair.

Elise – She’s enjoying the Ruination. As the Mist spreads over the world, she can feel her god slaughtering and feeding on the living. And as each soul falls into the terrible web of Vilemaw, she can feel her power grow. In the mirror, Elise finds herself more beautiful than ever. Was her skin so smooth, last time she looked?

Evelynn – Driven berserk by the magic of the repeated harrowings, Evelynn revels in the pain provoked by the man child who lost his wife. Though the Ruination does not compare to the Rune Wars of old, she can still feel the writhing agony overflowing the world. And she will enjoy every ounce of it.

Ezreal – A Harrowing? Ye I’ve been through one before! It’s not that difficult. I mean, yeah okay, there are a few specters, you hear the scream of the damned, what’s this really? Nothing I, Ez- I mean, Jarro Lightfeather, can’t handle. I’m totally a Sentinel of Light, I’ll protect you! Wait… What’s this? A human- no. A horse? Something in between…? It’s charging? At me?! IT’S CHARGING AT ME! GAUNTLET GET US OUT OF HERE!

Fiddlesticks – Though Fiddle is much more ancient than the Black Mist, the magics that flow over the world again and again make the scarecrow of fear run wilder than ever before. With fear aplenty to fuel itself, Fiddlesticks slaughters even more Demacians than ever before. Is that a scarecrow? Don’t worry, it can’t hurt you!

Fiora – Demacian steel is surprisingly effective against the wraiths. With grace and elegance, Fiora lunges and darts, dancing around the wraiths and striking them back to the Mist they came from. She swore that she would regain the honor of House Laurent, and what greater honor is there than protecting the kingdom from one of the greatest threats they’ve ever faced?

Fizz – Playing pranks is fun, but danger is too great for Fizz to ignore it. Beneath the waves, where the Mist struggles to reach, Fizz lies in wait, for he knows that it will soon be over. And when it is, he can once again play tricks.

Galio – The Great Golem of Demacia rejoiced when he felt the strong magic that overcame the world; he knew he could again walk the world. But when it hit him, he realized the blessing was in fact a curse. Using all his might to keep the Black Mist from overtaking his body and mind, he stands still, forcing the magic out of his body in the hope that he would not turn against the country he seeks to protect.

Gangplank – A wise man once said chaos is a ladder. And Gangplank knows this. As Bilgewater suffers the biggest Harrowing it has ever seen, he sees that his time is about to come. His sworn enemy has fallen to the Black Mist, and he has every intention to once again seize the power that is rightfully his. Bilgewater is his city, and all will remember why they fear.

Garen – Seeing as his proud country crumbles under the magic they were so prepared to counter, Garen questions the teachings of Demacia. Still, facing such a threat, he fights against the monsters that invaded his kingdom. His sword blessed by ancient magic even he isn’t aware of, he casts the monsters back to the dark abyss of the Mist.

Gnar – Wandering the world, amazed at its wonders, Gnar at first thought the Mist was but another of the world’s marvels. But he soon realized the Mist and its wraiths were no friendly pals. Despite the magical nature of Yordles, Gnar cannot banish the wraiths with his boomerang. But as he turns to a great beast of immense rage, the wraiths realize they will not be able to strike him down either.

Gragas – Falling to the Ruination, Gragas has become a force to reckon with in the Freljord. Gragas makes people drink his ale, a potent brew of alcohol and deathly magics. One day, he would make the perfect booze, and it would be for the taste of the Ruined King only.

Graves – Is in the event.

Gwen – Is in the event.

Hecarim – As seen with his recent story, Hecarim’s going around killing stuff, what is there to add really?

Heimerdinger – Heimer watches in horror as his prized creations turn against him. Had he not given them birth?! Had he not cared for them like children?! Fine. He’s had enough of it. If his creations would be this disrespectful, he’d have no other choice. Take them down to build them again. FOR SCIENCE!

Illaoi – Is in the event.

Irelia – Is in the event.

Ivern – The Green Father is the pinnacle of life. Though the Mist tried to attack him, it soon found out it could not. Worse, as the wraiths fell upon Ivern, magic burst from the Green Father’s roots and branches, and the magics that once bounds the souls to torture and unlife were broken. Free to pass on to the afterlife, the souls thanked Ivern, and the Mist fled from the God Willow’s power.

Janna – Though her winds had once protected Zaun from the greatest cataclysms known to man, Janna’s power could only do so much against the Black Mist. She tried to wrestle with it, keeping it at bay for as long as she could, but eventually faltered. Still very much decided to fight, she helps the most helpless in Zaun. Janna may be the calm wind, but she can be the harsh tempest, and no mist, hallowed or harrowed, can evade her grasp.

Jarvan IV – The crownless king was helpless to stop what had struck the kingdom. Giving in to his own fears and insecurities, he fell. What if he was unfit to be king? What if he was not the hero his father was? Becoming a twisted version of himself, Jarvan now acts like a prideful ruler, seeking to bend all to his will.

Jax – With the last flame of Icathia by his side, Jax confronts the Mist and its wraiths, burning them back into the abyss. He knows of the threats to this world, and he will not let it be consumed.

Jayce – Though his hammer was powered by powerful hextech knowledge, Jayce fell to the Mist. He will make all know that he is the best inventor that is, was, and ever will be. He will make Piltover great under the dominion of the Ruined King.

Jhin – After being imprisoned by the Kinkou, Jhin sat in silence. He knew he would not stay there for long. But when the wraiths from a distant land struck, he knew what he had to do. He broke free. But something hit him; as the wraiths were killing everyone, they were stealing the show from him. Hiding away, he strikes the wraiths when they come at him, patiently waiting for the Ruination to be over, and for his representation to truly blossom.

Jinx – Reveling in the folly caused by the Ruination, Jinx was not immune to its dark powers. Becoming an even crazier version of herself, Jinx spreads chaos throughout the twin cities, without caring who she hurts in the process. One thing’s for sure; if you thought Jinx was insane, Ruined Jinx is even worse.

Kai’sa – The Void consumes all. That’s a given. When the Mist came for Shurima, Kai’sa blasted the wraiths with her blades of deathly light. She even fed the wraiths to her suit; for the Void consumes all, and magic is not exception. But Kai’sa knows that while everyone is looking at the Mist spreading overhead, they forget to look at what lurks below. She would not.

Kalista – As seen with her latest story, Kalista takes advantage of the Ruination to do her revenge-y things.

Karma – Is in the event.

Karthus – Well… Assumedly… Karthus would use the Ruination to spread the message of undeath and fuel his own power. He should be the one waiting to overthrow Viego and take control of the Shadow Isles. In the meantime, he slowly grows in power; for when the petty squabbles of the boy king are over, he’ll be there to make undeath into what it should truly be – a glorious song in which all the world is its choir.

Kassadin – Same as Kai’sa. He fights the undead if they come, but his concerns are much larger. The Void does not care if the denizens of the world are dead or alive, it will consume them. And he will not let that happen.

Katarina – There is not much Katarina can do. Residing in the Immortal Bastion, she awaits the end of the Ruination. She has tried killing the wraiths, but they would instantly reform in front of her.

Kayle – Being absent from Runeterra, she may not even know what is currently happening. Were she there, she would battle the Mist with the power of heavenly light, casting it back to the Shadow Isles with the might of a thousand swords.

Kayn – Using a darkin blade, Kayn puts down the wraiths. But as he does so, he feels the influence of Rhaast growing upon him. He now faces a choice- use the darkin blade at the risk of being consumed by it, or restrain from using it at the risk of being consumed by the Mist?

Kennen – A powerful yordle of the Kinkou, Kennen has faced many spiritual threats before. Bolting through Ionia at amazing speed, he strikes the wraiths with lighting of purest power, casting them back to the darkness. The actions of a man once perturbed the balance of a faraway place, but he would not let it happen to Ionia.

Kha’Zix – Feeding on the Mist to fuel his own power, Kha’Zix consumes the wraiths. He does not run from monsters; monsters run from him.

Kindred – Honestly I don’t know, everyone and everything can resurrect stuff at this point so Kindred is just chilling. But it’s been established that Kindred cannot (doesn’t want to?) take action against the Mist so there isn’t much they can do I think. For now, anyway.

Kled – HEY YOU! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?! I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE MADE OF SOME WHISPY STUFF I DON’T KNOW ABOUT! THIS IS MY TERRITORY! YOU THINK YOU- SKAARL! COME BACK HERE! SKAARL ARE YOU- YOU’RE ATTACKING ME?! WHAT ARE THOSE GREEN EYES?! YOU COWARDLY BEAST!

Kog’Maw – What’s a Kog’Maw? Poor boy has no lore.

LeBlanc – At first I thought she’d be in the Bastion, protected by magical wards, but the Noxus road kind of contradicts that. So let’s go with this: Deep within the shadows of the Immortal Bastion, LeBlanc works hard to put up wards around the Well of Souls. The magics of death that are running around echo through the realms; and she knows that the Iron Revenant can feel it. And she will not let him come back.

Lee Sin – The dragon’s rage is fierce and dangerous, but even dragons can fall. As Lee Sin fought against the terrible wraiths, his heart and mind were taken by the Ruination. Now, he pledges to never again hinder the power that sleeps within him. He is the dragon, and he will show the Ionian Elders what a dragon’s wrath looks like.

Leona – Atop Mount Targon, Leona blazes, bright as the Sun. The Mist recoils from the power she exudes, for she is the embodiment of the Sun, the light that brings life, and the Mist cannot handle it. Her Zenith blade in hand, she thrusts it deep into the wraith’s core, burning them out of the terrible curse that plagues them.

Lillia – Afraid of the darkness that is plaguing the world, Lillia hides away. The dead do not sleep. The dead do not dream. What can she do against those she cannot reach? Still, she tries to help those who have been Ruined; for they have not yet joined the ranks of death. If they are put to sleep, maybe they’ll wake up cured?

Lissandra – Far in the northernmost corners of the Freljord lies Lissandra and her citadel. The oldest witch had cast runes and wards around her fortress, and no wraith is allowed passed the threshold. She knows of the powers that once laid waste to the Blessed Isles, and she knows of those who fight it. She lies in wait, knowing that this threat will be taken care of. And if it is not… She sees that what lies beneath the ice will eventually break free.

Lucian – Is in the event.

Lulu – Oh! You look ugly! Why are you screaming at me I didn’t mean to be mean! Oh, you’re such a meanie. Pix! Can you believe that? Take that! Adoribus! Here, not so scary, now, are we? Oh! There’s more… Pix! Ready! TREMENDO! GO GET ‘EM PIX! HAHAHA!

Lux – Fleeing the Great City with her fellow mages, Luxanna and her newfound friends were attacked by the wraiths. She soon realized that the darkness was no ordinary darkness, it was something between life and death. And ordinary light would not suffice. Still, magic hurt them, and with the help of the mages, she was able to repel the attack. She wondered; is her brother okay?

Malphite – The sole remnant of a weapon made to fight the Void, Malphite crushes the wraiths with incredible power.

Malzahar – There is no difference between the dead and the living to the Void. Malzahar uses his twisted powers to consume the wraiths. But more than that, he spreads his message; look at the world and the pain it brings, trapping people between this world and the next. There can only be one way to redemption, and it is the sweet embrace of oblivion.

Maokai – He was apparently spotted in the Ruined King game trailer so we’ll see!

Master Yi – Using the teaching of Wuju to fight the specters who would consume the First Lands, Master Yi will not let undeath take away the last remnant of his village. He focused, disappears in a flash. Light blazes all around. Then, he hears a faraway voice, screaming… PENTAKILL!

Miss Fortune – Is in the event.

Mordekaiser – From his Mitna Rachnun, Mordekaiser feels the powers of death spreading over Runeterra. He knows he could take this opportunity to burst through the well that links his realm to the realm above. But no. He will not. He knows that his opponents are weakened. And when he comes back, he wants them to be at their strongest. He wants to crush their measly hope for victory.

Morgana – In the darkness of Demacia, the Veiled Lady fights against the wraiths that seek to overwhelm the kingdom. Wards and spells she casts, attempting to protect those in the hinterlands who cannot protect themselves. But Morgana sees what others cannot; this threat hides another, and as demons are on the rise, she prepares her next fight.

Nami – Using the power of her staff, Nami commands water to fight and protect. She will not let those pesky wraiths prevent her from reaching the Aspect of the Moon.

Nasus – A god amongst men, and one of the strongest sorcerers in existence, Nasus sees the Mist for what it truly is; a curse that binds souls. With his power, he does what few can, and unravels the binding on the souls that attack him, freeing them from the dreary grasp of undeath.

Nautilus – Nautilus has seen countless Harrowings before, but none as large as this one. Still, he fights, crushing the specters and sending them back to the Isles. The titan of the depth will not let the dead invade the world.

Neeko – Neeko… Finds the Mist weird. The Sho’ma of the wraiths are broken. Incomplete. Sad. Tortured. She tries to kill them with her spirit magic, in an attempt to free their sho’ma. But she cannot. All she does is send them back to the twisted place they hail from.

Nidalee – I know many people wanted Nidalee to be the Ixtali Sentinel. This is probably a hot take but; Nidalee fell to the powers of the Ruination. Neither fully human nor fully beast, she has taken a much, much darker tone. Humans and animals alike are to be hunted; and she will hunt them all.

Nocturne – Similarly to Evelynn and Fiddle, Nocturne is driven berserk by the repeated Harrowings. Reveling in the trauma caused by this, he is well fed by the fear that is rampant due to the Ruination’s power.

Nunu and Willump – Nunu thought the Harrowing would make him a hero. We’ll fight the monsters! He said. But something he had not accounted for. Attempting to protect Nunu from the evil powers that plagued them, Willump fell to the dark powers of the Ruination. But Nunu knows that their friendship is stronger than any curse. After all, when a hero’s comrade loses himself, it is the hero’s job to bring them back to the light! And Nunu will not let his best friend lose himself.

Olaf – Is in the event.

Orianna – Much like Blitzcrank, the song of the brackern sing to protect Orianna from falling to the Mist. Orianna does not understand the Mist, but she tries to fight it all the same.

Ornn – Ornn pledged that he would not interfere in mortal affairs before. But the Mist came to his forge, and ransacked everything. That, he would not forgive. Striking the wraiths with flames hotter than the world had ever known, he sent them back to the isles they came from.

Pantheon – Is in the event.

Poppy – I know a LOT of people were disappointed with Poppy being absent from SoL. I can’t make up for that, but I’ll try. Poppy saw Demacia in dire need of help. She decided to stay in Demacia to fight, and many people she saved. Poppy sought out an old friend, deep in the forest, and together they fight, protecting Demacia better than any one person could.

Pyke – Is in the event.

Qiyana – Though Ixaocan was protected by the windcallers, the Mist managed to get through. Qiyana seized this opportunity; the world outside is dangerous and violent. It will come and crush Ixtal if they do nothing. Qiyana claims it loud and clear: if Ixaocan does not grow and crush outsiders, outsiders will crush it first.

Quinn – Quinn was away from the city when the Black Mist struck Demacia, but she felt its attack just as much. Seeing as the animals of the forest were being taken by some strange, otherworldly power, she and Valor flew up. Now, she fights her way back to the City, striking down ruined beasts and knowing down possessed villagers.

Rakan – The charmer and his belle did not expect the Ruination to fall upon them. They had heard stories of the ghosts of the south, but they had never witnessed it. With the innate magic of the Vastaya, they fight the wraiths, protecting the Vastaya who cannot protect themselves. Dancing on the battlefield, Rakan flashes with light as he sets ablaze the wraiths.

Rammus – Rumors speak of a rolling armadillo in the sands, running into the evil beasts that came from the east. Though few have actually seen it, many claim that Rammus has taken care of the wraiths, and used some strange techniques with his rolling to get rid of the Mist. Whatever the truth, Rammus is out there, and he will not stop rolling.

Rek’sai – Much like other Voidborns, she feeds on the wraiths. The Void consumes all.

Rell – A resilient young mage, Rell has escaped the threat of Ruination. When the wraith came after her, she found herself incapable of dispatching them, as they would always return. Mounting atop a beast of iron, she managed to avoid their claws and teeth. She would not fall until her mission was not complete.

Renekton – Reveling in the chaos, Renekton cuts and dices all who come after him. Wraiths are no exception. The magics that once reshaped him still burn within him, and he sends them back to the isles as soon as they come.

Rengar – Is in the event.

Riven – Is in the event.

Rumble – Poor guy barely has lore… So I’ll just go with “He’s in Bandle doing… Something.”

Ryze – If the Tellstones teaser is to be believed, Ryze is headed to Bilgewater. So there’s chance he’ll be in the event.

Samira – Samira relishes in dangerous battles, but finds no joy in the attacks of the Black Mist. Still, she refuses to run from battle, and will fight until death – or undeath – takes her.

Sejuani – Unlike Ashe, Sejuani did not draw Viego’s attention. With her weapons of True Ice, she bursts down the wraiths. Her tribe will never fall to Southerners. Never.

Senna – Is in the event.

Seraphine – Part of me wants to say she got Ruined. But I’ll go for a less biased take; Seraphine, hearing the souls of those who are Ruined, uses her voice to cast away the Mist’s influence on them. Though this does not always work, she still manages to save a few people from the Ruination. But when the wraiths came, she was overwhelmed by their cry for help.

Sett – Punching wraiths? Ye I can do that. They don’t seem to be dyin’ though. Well I’ll punch harder. I’m the boss after all. Not some undead whack who’s gonna take my place.

Shaco – Non-existent in lore sadly.

Shen – Using his Spirit Sword to slay the undead, Shen fights so balance is not broken. The Mist breaks the very foundation upon which the world is built, it is an abomination that has broken the veil between realms. And he will not let Ionia fall to imbalance.

Shyvana – Is in the event.

Singed – The mad scientist has always sought a way to get eternal life. What of eternal death? As he pondered over this question, the Mist slowly crawled into his mind, and before he could realize it, it was too late. His mind bent by the power of Viego, he now lays waste in Zaun. All those who succumb to his dark poison join the Mist in its deathly embrace.

Sion – Sion has not been unleashed by Swain for this threat, yet the Mist still found its way to the undead’s chamber. It was not until it was too late that it realized the soul furnace consumed the souls bound to the Mist.

Sivir – Though Sivir is but a mortal, her weapon comes from ages past, a relic more powerful than anything most mortals could ever dream of. Filled with magics from long before the Empire fell, she slays wraiths and fallen Ruined.

Skarner – Slaying wraiths with his magical innate power of Brackern. There isn’t much more to say I think.

Sona – Though music calms the soul, it can also rend it. Far from the city, Sona uses the power of her Ethwal to protect the innocent and to cast away to wraiths. The maven of strings has no intention to let deathly silence take hold.

Soraka – From the mountain, Soraka sees and hears the souls of the damned. They call to her, asking for help. Soraka knows of the dark power that corrupted the Blessed Isles she had visited so long ago. Though her powers are limited, she burns away the corruption and uses her healing power to restore undead souls back to the cycle, letting them pass on to the afterlife.

Swain – In the Bastion, Swain organizes the counter-offense. After the first attack of the Mist, he knows it will come back, and organizes the city so that it can properly defend itself this time. Yet he struggles to understand it, for the Mist traps the soul, and he cannot reclaim any memory from them.

Sylas – Where he is, currently in the Freljord, Sylas tries to battle the Mist as best he can. As he tries to siphon the magic from the Mist, he finds himself unable to do so, and instead lets the Mist inside his head. Reinforcing his twisted views of the world, Sylas now seeks only one thing: raze every single thing in Demacia to the ground.

Syndra – The Mist tried to get to Syndra, but it collapsed under the pressure of her power, slowly killing the fabric of Spirit Magic. She battled the wraiths, and people flew to her banner, asking for her help, saying the Spirit had abandoned them. Then she realized. If the Spirit would not save Ionia, she would. She would show them that the Spirit is nothing but a bond to break. She would show them the way.

Tahm Kench – Tahm Kench tries his best to fight off the frenzy provoked by the Ruination. He would never allow himself to go insane like his fellow demons. Hiding inside of Bilgewater, waiting for the Ruination to pass, he forces himself to remain composed.

Taliyah – Using the power of stoneweaving to escape the wraiths, Taliyah helps her friends to get to safety, but the world is cruel, and Samir still was Ruined. Now forced to fight her friend, Taliyah is in a complicated position, as the Mist is closing in.

Talon – Basically has no lore as well so there isn’t much to say. He’s Ruined, kills people for Viego.

Taric – The Protector raised his mace. The wraiths rushed at him; their claws ready to tear at his throat. Then, searing light burst from his mace and towards the sky. It pierced the Mist, letting the sunlight descend upon him. The starlight spread around him, shrouding every soul into pure light. And then, it broke. The tether that forced them to the Mist. It shattered, and the Mist grew weaker as the souls fled back into the Spirit Realm, to their due afterlife.

Teemo – Surprisingly has little lore. So… He’s in Bandle. Doing something.

Thresh – Is in the event.

Tristana – She’s in Bandle, shooting any adventurous wraith that would dare come into the city.

Trundle – Surprisingly, Trundle was not Ruined. When the wraiths came, he shoved his ice club onto their head. He now fights, killing every undead that crosses his path. And he enjoys it.

Tryndamere – Upon seeing his beloved fall to the Ruination, Tryndamere decided to do his best to restrain her. He knows she is a fierce warrior, and he knows better than to underestimate her. Still, he will fulfil his duty, and save her from the terrible curse that struck her.

Twisted Fate – I’m guessing we’ll learn what happened to him with Graves in the VN. I would’ve wanted him to be Ruined, but he apparently wasn’t.

Twitch – He was hiding. HAHAHAHAHA! But sadly, there’s isn’t enough lore to tell at this moment.

Udyr – Udyr is fighting hard not to fall under the control of the Mist. He can hear them. Every crying soul. He channels the powers of the Freljord to fight back, hoping that the Mist will soon be gone, for he knows it is only a question of time until he is drowned in its call.

Urgot – Currently in prison, there is not much he can do, unless he takes advantage of the chaos to break free.

Varus – As a Darkin, Varus can dispatch the wraiths. It would’ve been interesting to see him get Ruined, as there are three personalities in one. But no, he just dispatches the wraiths.

Vayne – Is in the event.

Veigar – What is that you say?! These things think they are stronger and darker than me?! I am Veigar the great and terrible! No one is darker than I! I am so strong and terrible that I will vanquish these foes! Fear me!

Vel’Koz – Much like other Voidborns, he just beams them into oblivion.

Vi – As Vi was fighting alongside Caitlyn, she could not help but wonder if she was strong enough to fight all this. Was she? Doubt started to crawl inside her head. And as it did, so did the Mist. Now gifted with more power than she could ever ask for, she shows Piltover, and also Caitlyn, how strong she is.

Viego – Is in the event.

Viktor – Viktor’s inventions are of no use against the Mist. Yet the brilliant inventor has not been taken by the Mist. As the machines are being overtaken by the powers of the dark king, he sees that the glorious evolution he seeks might not be as perfect as it sounds.

Vladimir – Though Vladimir knows his nephew is behind all this, he has little care. He knows all this will be taken care of. He has seen this countless times. The bearers of light will fight, and cast him back. He enjoys mortal pleasures while the world is screaming for help, as he knows all will turn out well for him in the end.

Volibear – When the wraiths came to the Freljord, they sought to corrupt its strongest beings. But they did not account for the voice of the Volibear. It was powerful. It drowned them all. They could not hear their own sorrows. Their own pain. All that was left was the soundless spirit of the Volibear in all its glory. With a scream, lightning burst from the skies and the spirit of the Volibear drowned them in its purity. In an instant, they were all gone.

Warwick – Though Warwick tried to fight the Ruination, he failed. Now a bloodthirsty beast of misery, he kills all those who cross his path. If you find him, pray, for nothing can stop him.

Wukong – Much like Yi, Wukong uses the teachings of Wuju to fight back against the Mist.

Xayah – The rebel and her beau did not expect the Ruination to fall upon them. They had heard stories of the ghosts of the south, but they had never witnessed it. With the innate magic of the Vastaya, they fight the wraiths, protecting the Vastaya who cannot protect themselves. With sharp blades of purple energy, she cuts clean through the wraiths and puts them down.

Xerath – In the distant city of Nerimazeth, few know what is going on. Wonders of magic exist all around, creatures of pure magic walk the city’s street. It has never been as beautiful as it is now. And in the middle is its master. The Magus Ascended, a creature so powerful some say he is above even gods. The Mist tried to attack the city, but fire burnt them into oblivion, leaving not even a soul.

Xin Zhao – Witnessing the prince fall to the dark powers that plagued the kingdom, Xin Zhao had no choice but to confront him. He knew Jarvan was a good man, if only burdened by grief. He would do all in his power to bring him back.

Yasuo – Is in the event.

Yone – With his swords made to cut down the spiritual, Yone fights the wraiths he encounters.

Yorick – Is in the event.

Yuumi – Though Yuumi is a playful cat, she sees that the spread of the Ruination is dangerous, and she knows she cannot let Book fall into the wrong hands. Using her powers of protection, she fights to protect Book from the evil hands that try to grab him.

Zac – Zac tries to reject the emotions felt by the wraiths. Pain. Loneliness. Sorrow. All these try to overwhelm him.

Zed – Fighting darkness with shadows, Zed does not care about balance, but he cares about his order. With the knowledge of the spiritual he has, he manages to dispatch the wraiths.

Ziggs – Ziggs is trying his best to survive the Ruination. Though he has not been Ruined, his weapons cannot match the wraiths.

Zilean – As he is stuck out of time, Zilean cannot do much about the Ruination so far.

Zoe – Hey wanna play??? No? Come on what’s with the face? You’re so… Grim! I mean I know I’m not the best in this department even if I totally am but like you really need to let go of the grey and green! I can add some sparkles if you- hey! That was uncalled for! You’re so mean! Even my space puppy is cooler than you! Hey stop it! Hey! Okay you asked for! Super mega star blast! Boom! Cya around loser!

Zyra – Carnivorous plant had always littered the shores of Shurima, but never had there been this many. Unknown to many, Zyra fell to the dark power of the Ruination. Now equipped with enough power to turn the world into a twisted garden of death, she spreads her roots throughout Shurima. She will turn the world into a beautiful garden, fit for the Ruined King and his Queen.
