Why a guitar? Why not a violin? "The Devil Went Down to Georgia".

I was going to comment exactly this. He could even play the song when he uses /dance, similar to TahmKench /dance.

he clearly needs the first two lines as special interaction.

bonus points if the character is voiced by dave grohl.

The actual song is like 10+ minutes long and actually really lame...

What's lame about it?

Tattersall2 votes

The song is 12 minutes long, so (at least to me) it sounds like the genre changes a few times and it's hard to follow the lyrics because you just get bored. the WOAH-OH-OH-AH-AH-AH-AAAA-HA-AH-AH-AH is actually better imo.

It's a metal song that chronicles a journey, like all good metal songs. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Barcid1 votes

Not all good metal songs have to chronicle a journey. That's rather presumptuous.

But the issue I have with the song is the style transitions are non-existent. There's no easing, it's just straight into a switch, so it's jarring. Some of them also don't mesh particularly well within a single song.

Besides that, the WOAH-OH-OH sounds like a really great beginning as opposed to an end...

Inb4 Mordekaiser's Mace "Nightfall" is a Darkin artifact.

Alternatively PK Morde's "Numero Uno"

Would it be the Conquest Darkin?

A guitar is not a weapon.....on that the Darkin are embodying the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse and will probably cater to that theme.

in this game, magic instruments can be weapons.

Sona

it would be ridiculously awesome if a demon marched down summoners rift with the power of metal.

there are 5 darkin weapons though. we already know three. aatrox (war), rhaast (death), and varus bow (pestilence - rhaast has special interactions with varus that reveal his weapon as one of the darkin).

the one representing hunger could be a mage.

this would be the fifth rider. the demon of metal. he provides the soundtrack to the apocalypse.

I'm still sitting here trying to decide how to go about creating Demonic scales that posses body's, that would have to involve some freaky soul caliber styled eyeballs and function as a weapon, and would properly represent famine with out falling into the pitfall of gluttony which is currently well represented in game by TahmKench with a kit that works as a blood thirsty support.

The darkin code prevents him from declining a rock off challenge.

Engage support ftw

FYI....guitar and metal are the only way to go. You cant kill the metal, the metal will strike you down with a vicious blow.

Counttry with a fiddle???

we need a darkin support, whos vessel is a guitar.

no, we don't (about guitar). the next darking will hold a "libra" (don't sure how say it in eng). There we'll have our four apocalypse knight.

They could always make Mordekaiser a Darkin who took over a suit of armor...although that could raise some speculation around Nautilus as well...

The Yetii Rider1 votes

Nautilus is like fifteen feet tall, there's gotta be a dude in that armor.

Darkin are the new void spawn

RogueWill1 votes

There are only 5 darkin weapons, I'm guessing it will be one for each lane. We have a fully consumed darkin on aatrox, we have a swing one (can be consumed or not)on the new champion, and one in process to be consumed on varus (not officially confirmed but high chance of being the case).

It takes a while to go from darkin to darkin but is safe to assume next ones will be a mid laner (hopefully a mage and not another assasin) and a support.

Don't you mean the Darking is the Guitar, and the guitar is a weapon

Wait the Darkin are living weapons that use the wielder as a host? I thought the Darkin Rhaast was just trapped in the Scythe... So what is the host of Aatrox then?

aatrox title is "the darkin blade". so hes inhabiting the sword. as far as his host goes, we dont know who it was.

maybe it was an angel from Kayle Morgana race. hence the wings. thats my own hypothesis though.

it also seems like the host is killed in the process of the transformation, and the darkin entirely possesses the body. unless the host proves to be stronger and manages to overpower and destroy the darkin, like kaynes shadow assassin transformation.

Soul Edge Rip off this whole Darkin weapon shit.

ah ... such nostalgia, that series had one of the best in-depth fighting mechanics of all times.

enough reason for me to spam him.
