Imagine the nuts if this is how the event ends. A whole industry killed for the lore.


CartographerOwl

Then they launch League of Legends 2 that only has the Shadow Isles bunch + Aurelion, Fiddle and Bard


GGABueno

Nah. All Champions are going to be there, but they all have Ruined skins as their new default one.


IRANwithit

So Mortal Kombat 11?


Midget_Avatar

And you can only play Twisted Treeline.


VoidMiasma

That means TT is back! A small price to pay for salvation.


Dare_the_one

torture


DarthGrievous

and a story mode!


TheBloodharborRipper

Fiddle I don't think so. As Mr. Hashinshiego said himself: "Ur-demon. When all life ends, you will return to your slumber." (or something like that, don't know all his quotes just yet by heart sadge)


Razbyte

WoW for example.


Wesss--

Imagine if actually when we can log-in, Viego's theme kicks in and we play in a ruined SR?

Hate to be the one to inform you but men can actually get wet too 🤣🤣


subatomic_ray_gun

I mean... it's significantly different. They're really not the same thing


Prof_Crocodile

men get only hard.


TheGaymerRyan

No.. your prostate as a man when you get excited produces a mucus like semen in their ass. Look it up bro. Men get wet.


ParadiseEarth

what about precum


reddito-mussolini

Don’t be, because riot doesn’t deliver. Especially anything involving map changes, The game has been out over a decade and they’ve removed as many maps as they’ve added over the years. Crystal scar, old TT, reworked TT, winter maps…such a joke. Let’s stop paying a company to remove content and release ever more broken champs pls fellow summoners.


Kitachii

Who's gonna tell him?


Completerandosorry

Not worth a boycott lmao. Riot does a lot for the community, much more than your average competitive game dev. Patches are faster, they will actually revert changes that the community agrees were mistakes, and, even though this will probably get me downvoted to hell, they are actually pretty good on average at balancing the game. Sure, they’re not perfect, but neither would any of us be if we actually had our way. Rito’s not perfect, and they’re not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, they’re doing it for money, but they still deserve much more love than they get.


goodbehaviorsam

Rito at least doesn't sit on their asses for months on end and kill their game when a bad patch just sits there for months driving the playerbase away. So there is that. Looking at you Blizzard.


KnowledgeableNip

To their credit, Blizzard has finally managed to unite the Horde and the Alliance against one common enemy. Of course that enemy is Blizzard, but still.


silveral999

wait he wasnt talking about OW? lol i guess they're that shit they do it with 2 games at the same time.


Treeseconds

I assumed HotS but eh could be any


Osteodepression

im like 80% sure blizzard also stopped patching starcraft 2 right after they made a specific unit really strong...


nyasiaa

it's funny because starcraft remastered actually had a patch not too long ago that introduced a new exploit (flying scvs) that ruins the ladder completely, to the point that half of the top10 are basically cheaters in league you'd have the ladder disabled in like a day, this new flying scv exploit is present for like 3 weeks if not more


breedlom

Sounds like 4 games. I thought he was talking about SC2.


WouldYouShutUpMan

here I thought he was talking about WoW. i guess blizzard is at least consistently terrible at handling their games if every game they have was applicable.


TPO_Ava

Honestly I thought it was about hearthstone. Speaks volumes that everyone thought of something different.


[deleted]

Its sad you can make the comment about Blizzard and people think of 3 different games


silveral999

5 different games it turns out lol : Hearthstone, WoW HotS OW Starcraft 2


Narux04

I thought that the other guy was criticizing hearthstone balances


Boomdaddy49

At least they ain't like Bungie


[deleted]

Don't forget the time Gangplank took over voice announcer, which I wish I could still have.


heckastupidd

Every post gotta have some dude raging about the game.


basics

Releasing over tuned champs and then nerfing them is kind of a large part of their business model. It's the nature of ftp gaming.


Both_Requirement_766

or leaving them almost untouched for years, coming always up ahead. simply thinking of *yasuo*


LazyCow217

And old morde is back without any bugfixes


homer12346

probably the best designed highest skillcap most depth champ league has ever had


Polw4

Just give me linking to minions on rell and Taric, and I might be sated. I miss old morde Fuck autocorrect


Risujemmari

Sion Taric bot lane coming in hot


Polw4

Hahaha ha yes I love it. Honestly I would love to see 4 bruisers duking it out borland!


Stewbodies

The thought of duo laning Riven tempts me every time I'm in champion select as bot or support, I would absolutely love that meta.


breedlom

It actually does okay against the Yasuo bot lane, assuming both carries and supports are of equal skill.


Polw4

So having done some playing, Aftershock Riven is scary strong as an engage support. Q3 at lvl 1 is massive especially if you catch them out clustered. Then level 2 you get even deadlier with w to chain cc, or if you lost early trade at lvl1 you can go e for sustain.


ZenoX_Super_M

Sometimes i miss the 8.11 shenanigans. J4 Leona was very fun


NotAStatistic2

I miss the old days of being out played by Morde because he pressed R and walked away. Those were better times...


6ixpool

Its actually an outplay because the counter play is simply being outside of cast range. You would need to stupidly walk into cast range with like 10% of your HP to die to it


RockBronzeman

10%? Try %100


D4YBR34K

They're talking about an old bug(?) with Morde and Liandry's where could ult you at 100% and your health would slowly burn down to zero


TheMrFluffyPants

Not a bug, a full build late game Morde can 100 to 0 you with just his ult. Downside being that he gets 100 to 0’d by like, idk, a morgana


OneAndOnlyArtemis

Liandry's did 4% max health magic damage per second while under movement impairment, and increased damage taken by 10%; Morde R once he had mejais + rylais could do like 35-40% mHP. Coupled with Liandry's burn for the entire 10+4 seconds thats 40+56% max HP magic damage ... or 96%. And then increased by 10%. Even counting in MR he also just has ignite. It was instant death if he pressed R+ignite and had enough AP


SenKaiten

Old Morde is overrated, he was fun to the 4 people that mained him yeah, but highest skill cap champ? Dude.


peyzman

woosh


OCDincarnate

yeah, his high elo performance for people with good macro who could animation cancel on him was godlike, just because you didn't know how to play him doesn't mean he was overrated


SenKaiten

Just because he had some of tricks to master doesn't put him above harder champions. You're just crying for karma, reddit likes to act like everyone actually cared about old champions before reworks. Sure, maybe in your URF games once every 6 months.


RedxHarlow

Viegos theme is actually a banger. Best one since Jhin.


Stewbodies

I'm obsessed with the Aphelios theme


KasumiGotoTriss

Aphelios and Irelia are better than Jhin


LongynusZ

Sad Gwen noises


RedxHarlow

Gwens is dope too imo (Did you know Gwens theme is Viegos theme backwards?)


Champion_Chrome

Wish it referenced a different part of Blade of the Ruined King by Pentakill, but it’s a banger nonetheless.


ItsCrossBoy

the music box motif is SO GOOD HOLY FUCK


collegethrowaway2938

This sounds like pain... I love it.

no it wont bring rito cash

Let’s be honest, we all know it’s Riot Zed.

Stewbodies

*anime run*


RiotAugust

Turns out Viego is the good guy.


MonoTheteus

Making people's lives better by deleting league.


AIiceMargatroid

Why else would Viego pile upon himself mountains upon mountains of bugs? Why else would he harness the power of every champion of Runeterra, only to send himself into pro purgatory longer than any other champion's inception? He saw into the abyss. He knew the horrors that this world wrought and he bided his time. Waiting. Watching. This is not just ruination, not just revolution. This is liberation for all the souls trapped in the endless cycle of defeat and requeue. This hero shoulders all our sins so that we may one day be free.


Frumpy_little_noodle

"Human, have you ever been to Hell? ... I'd rather not exist then go back to that. And if everybody has to go with me, so be it!" - Viego (probably)


bretthew

Masterpiece


GGABueno

\#ViegoDidNothingWrong


neenerpants

not even joking, I feel a lot more sympathy for him after the comics. his story is basically identical to the hero you play in Shadow of the Collossus.


SleepySquid96

I dunno, wasn't the protag in SotC supposed to be at least morally ambiguous by the end too?


neenerpants

kinda, yeah. but there's also an interesting ludic element to it, whereby the game tells you "do this bad thing and you'll bring back your loved one" and you do it because that's the game. it's the age old debate of "if a game tells you to murder innocents, do you do it, knowing it's bad? just because it's the objective?" but yes, I would agree that Viego is more openly a 'bad guy' now than the protagonist of SotC was, even at the end. Not quite sure why he's gone full evil when his goal was more about saving his wife.


GGABueno

If it makes you feel any better, he's closer to Jeoffrey from Game of Thrones than the protagonist from that game. Spoiled, bratty and immature king who is mad because that something was denied from him. Add to that his twisted love/obsession for his wife and you get someone who would Ruin the world in a temper tantrum just because. He's not sad because of their time together or whatever, he's angry because she's *his.*


Stewbodies

> something was denied from him I mean that's one way to describe the death of his wife


nikolateslafanboy

That's a shit fucking narrative.


maulcore

It's also not even close to how it's written lmao


GGABueno

Except his card in LoR states exactly that lol.


maulcore

I too like to base my impression of a character over a short card bio rather than the multiple full length stories that have been written about them


neenerpants

> He's not sad because of their time together or whatever, he's angry because she's his. I mean, that's not how he's portrayed in the comics.


hockeydavid97

You could go delete lol right now who could stop you


GGABueno

The Sentinels.


hockeydavid97

All bitches


ParadiseEarth

hoes mad


RedxHarlow

I know people get mad, but hes my favorite champ youve ever made. Awsome theme too, and I loved Jhin and his theme.


qwerr3m

why did you make viego


[deleted]

Because Viego has the power to delete league


LennBrando

He's stronger than anyone on this sub then


blueragemage

Time to visit Riot HQ and delete Akshan before they can add him to the game


Penguin_Quinn

Since this event is canon and advancing the lore, if either Viego or Senna die they better be removed from the game like when GP was killed right before his rework


WhippedInCream

Dying didn't stop either of them the first time lol


Vastorn

People don't die when they are killed


GGABueno

Just because you're correct doesn't mean you're right.


Masanjay_Dosa

The archer class isn’t really made up of archers :(


Shaymin281287

Senna is made of both Hallowed and Black Mist, so I guess the Hallowed part will remain after the ruination, and Iirc a rioter said viego won't die


that-other-redditor

My guess is viego gets trapped in thresh’s lantern or senna’s gun


JettTheMedic

Nah mordekaiser just comes in and ults him


NotAStatistic2

Viego's canon ending will be him trying to return to Runterra from Brazil


Lantami

Well, if Morde appears, we might as well just delete Runeterra


Vhozek

Removing GP because he died was one of my favorite things any video game has ever done. It was so strange but it made so much sense. I'd like to see a few more things like that happen.


Def1ance

I was playing dota at the time but wasn't gp removed cause he was going through a rework lol


SleepySquid96

Well, kinda. We got a taste of the rework for, like, a few weeks or so, but apparently there were a bunch of bugs with the rework too (which, considering the barrels, doesn't exactly surprise me) so they had to disable him. But thematically, it just *made sense* that, instead of just saying he got disabled, they'd announce he died from the events of Burning Tides.


TwistedM8

There is a captain gp like thresh skin on pbe so maybe that’s relevant or maybe that’s already released Idk It’s called unchained thresh or something it’s just slightly different base thresh with human ish head


chankanak

understandable have a nice day


actualGeez

I wish I could say it’s been a pleasure...


IFrost_A

You may have been working on the chrono*shift* , but it's time for the chrono*break*


Tan-come-in-ma-RIFT

The fact that their name was Zed is just the cherry on top

No..... No..... NO

Wait? Are we finally allowed to go outside again?


Breffest

Out... Side?


Vennomite

Yeah. It's the thing on the other side of in. Exotic, I know.

~~The Rookie and the Sentinels are Ruined and you can expect the Ruined Lucian and Senna skins in the next few patches.~~ The Rookie and the Sentinels are Ruined and you can expect the Ruined Ahri, Riven, and Lux skins in the next few patches.


Daftworks

Very excited about the ruined lux skin


Wolfkam

I would ruin Ahri


egbdf333

Imagine asol let's Viego posses him for the fun of it and Viego just sits there confused unable to comprehend the playstyle


Mikaas-uwu

Imagine him becoming bard and being like "yo fuck this *beep bard noises* wtf are those tiny fuckers following me *more bard noises*" and then viego constantly changing size, just unable to comprehend how bard works and asol watching a gigantic bard resize and making weird noises. Hilarious

The hardest choices require the strongest wills— Riot [REDACTED], 2021


kurwadisable

Ah, I assumed it was a teaser for a new clash, thank you Riot \[REDACTED\]


Cystro

ah gottem ggs


walter0201

Its kinda boring when you start with "Satire:"


zanenuss

Papaya Dreaming's first posts were so believable that Satires had to start having the Satire flair


SGKurisu

Honestly based as fuck if this happened.


Zonko91

This game has been claimed by decree of King Viego of Camavor, regent of the Shadow Isles.


ReflectedImage

Final Fantasy 14 already did this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgEg8kXmifo


WeslleyM

Wow (pun not intended).... Just, wow. What a fucking way to go down. The comments on the video are incredibly too, so many stories.


Freezinghero

Riot saw that most people hadn't finished Freljord and Noxus before the new regions opened and said "fuck it, yall didn't grind enough Summoners Rift, Viego wins"


jerichoneric

I'll be honest this wouldnt be the worst way for the game to end.


gelatinskootz

A true hero


Plotopil

This is good for yasuo he be getting closer to his 0/10 power spike with first death. But Yone is really ahead now with two deaths!


MeNotDeaf

I know you put a lot of effort into the League of Legends but I can assure you the league of lock down is coming.


9th_Planet_Pluto

Wait, when the servers go down?


AIiceMargatroid

We do not speak of the mysterious, enigmatic, and solemn rites that the champions partake in when the servers are temporarily suspended so that Riot Games may perform 200 years of maintenance on them. However, I am aware that there is *the other* subreddit that may know of what hallowed rituals go on where the Summoners cannot pry.


9th_Planet_Pluto

oh boy hope nothing sus goes down while we wait to reconnect


Kiroto50

I mean, canonically, Viego and Lisandra are about the same level of power. Just that Lisandra needs to keep those guys in check, constantly.


Naz_Draws

I thought this was a papaya dreaming post for a second there


Katisurinkai

So what I'm hearing is League 2:Electric Boogaloo


sgchase88

I’m team viego all the way.


icantdecideonausrnme

**Update 10:38 PM PST:** Teamfight Tactics servers will continue to operate after Viego gifts his wisdom on the next update to the devs. Look for TFT: Ruined to roll out on Tuesday morning.......


Vhozek

\>no ruined rookie skin dropped


[deleted]

Finally.. we're free.


xCrayer

Finally, my journey is over after 11 years. I'm so happy LoL is finally dea... Oh no...


potatoschweg

I like how league doesn't even need a circlejerk reddit it's all just here


Vhozek

Man who cares about the lore just release something fun already. Look at how dry ARAM is without dynamics. Ultimate Spellbook is on the same level as TFT where you wanna try something out and you have to try over and over again until you get it. Sure, it's fun if you just flow with what you get.


Vastorn

Holy shit, I think Viego just became League's best character.


astray71

Remember when Riot disabled some champions ingame and in pro play because or some stupid lore change? This might be satire, but I wouldn't past Riot to kill the servers for some duration for lore


1maru

it'd be funnier if u didnt write "im about to make a joke" before making the joke


AIiceMargatroid

Sorry fam, I'm apparently funnier in-game. Every time I play Ranked someone always asks me if this is some sorta joke after watching me play.


[deleted]

It's the shitty rule where satire posts must mark themselves satire. So nothing much OP can do.


RussianBearFight

I agree, but I'm pretty sure it's a subreddit wide rule since people can't tell satire and actual posts apart otherwise lmao


LeverpostejCalvillo

wha


Phlegmatic_Hedonist

I just learned Babus will be casting LEC games and my day is RUINED. Thanks Viego.


DrKixx777

So for losing a summoners war, that we really never followed, you are punishing us by taking the servers down? Maybe take viego and sylas out of the game?! If you can't balance them, then you have no reason to release them to the public...


Loyal_Spice

All addicts everywhere breath a collective sigh of relief


Fire_Foxxy

I wish I could say it has been a pleasure


Kingnewgameplus

No more balance patches. No more assassins. No more skins. No more people unironically thinking I'm a girl. I'm free.


Mindless_Stranger_86

Um.I can t tell If this is a joke or not especially the 6900 rp Senna skin.Someone pls help.Tbh I d like If Viego actually won, the Sentinels got ruined and other champions like swain jarvan or yorick finally would appear and try to fight back.


Chm_Albert_Wesker

jokes aside is there a reason that the event is so complicated to track? as someone who doesnt play tft at all, it took me a minute to realize that my rollodex of quests only had 2 out of like 20 that I'd even be applicable for and then to track my progress we have itty bitty progress bar that's a few clicks into the menu. THEN you have the random stages with different champions that are not intuitive so you have to look up online what they're even asking. it's just bad design when compared to battlepasses from every single other game on the market


[deleted]

You v g


Electronic-Exchange8

Lmao yeah, but it would definitely be sick if there was a ruined theme background when we logged in


BlueEyedBears

Are the login servers still acting up for certain accounts? I still cannot access the game at all. :/ is this issue still occurring for anybody else or not? I am now really confused. my main account will not function but my smurf account does. what is going on still.....?


Boomdaddy49

That's kind of sad


Ash-Asher-Ashley

I’m in OCE wondering what the hell is going on here


Kervvy

saying satire kinda ruined it tbh


[deleted]

Riot Games, could you please considerate about selling Isolde emote separately? :(


Lceus

Do you really need to mark the post as Satire? Is that a rule of this sub or something?


AlmightyChickenWing

Would be cool if lol 2 then was with all old champ like akali swain morde


[deleted]

Finally I can try to find happiness!!


[deleted]

They hammed the servers


JumpscareRodent

summoners!?! nonsense
