Bring up an in game mechanic and a replier will explain how it makes sense lore wise

SpecterVonBaren··9 votes·508 views

Here's an example.

So as an avid TahmKench player, I've seen Gangplank use his Remove Scurvy to escape my Devour, so my question is.

How does eating an orange allow him to get out of Tahm's stomach?

So someone gives me an explanation to this and then brings up their own question, and so on and so forth.

Gangplank doesn't eat the orange, he gives it to Tahm. Tahm is so grateful for this that he spits Gangplank out. Now: If Graves can have a cigar Leblanc can have a 'clone', why does she not just make people see nothing. After all, her power is 'illusions'.

The first step to mastering illusion is to accept that reality in itself is an illusion and nothing is real. As such, the greatest and most powerful illusionists have effectively warped reality to their will because, if absolutely everyone believes it with no doubt, it is real. Think about it, reality is only what we believe.

My turn: How are champions able to see in a 360 vision around them but only for a short distance (unlike irl where you can pretty much see indefinitely unless something is blocking the way)? And how can they see through other champions', minions', and wards' line of sight?

ShovelShepherd4 votes

That one's easy: All champions of the League of Legends play in a place riddled with The Mist, this is why Baron spawns and you can't see very far. Also, the 360 vision is just a representation of their being aware of all life around them. This, of course, is like Wi-Fi and can be blocked. My turn: Why do Jungle Creeps always go back to the place where they died? this seems like it goes against logic. Even if they are freed by Ivern and run away, they come back.

The animals that show up in a previously cleared jungle camp aren't the same creatures that were killed; rather, the new critters are the angry descendents of the camp's previous inhabitants, after having grown enough to seek vengeance (in vain). In the case of Ivern freeing the previous creatures, the new batch just don't know any better.

Why don't zigg's satchel charges damage towers with too much health to instantly destroy?

Saewin2 votes

That's easy: Zigg's satchels only work effectively by dissipating the blast damage throughout the tower. unless the tower is already cracked and starting to show damage in it's structural integrity, his satchel does little more than chip the tower itself. when the tower is cracked, however, it becomes much easier to fracture the tower with a well-timed explosion.

So here's a question: Why does Cho'gath have a limit on the amount of Feasts he can consume of minions and monsters? Certainly eating a Gromp is the same as eating a Tahm Kench, right?

Even for a void beast, toxic frogs and rocks can hurt his digestion system due to lack of varied and too much unhealthy food. And Tahm tastes better.

Question: If Azir is the Emporer of Shurima, why does he only spawn 3 soldiers at once and not a whole army?

KiwiKilYa4 votes

He can call upon an army but he can't summon one with magic, the ones he summons are like his elite guard and only last a limited time because they work in shifts.

Q: Why can't Darius (and Garen) dunk the baron or drakes?

FatedSaviour2 votes

(is that really lorewise?) anyway an answer because they are too busy dunking those who wish to challenge their dunking skills, its no fun when someone stands still for the dunk

Q: if aurelion sol is practically a god, why can he be stopped by: a midget with a gun, a somehow bigger dragon, a little black kid, a drunk, the lord of hell himself or a cigarless man a little child

Because he enjoys leaving lesser creatures with their belief of what is accomplishable. Him being the ultimate creature would leave them in terror and depression, as they realize nothing they do matters. He prefers the adoration.

Q: Why are Brands pants fireproof?

They are haunted pants, thus cannot burn. Perhaps the actual pants themselves donn't even exist anymore, just a likeness.

Talking about weird, why isn't kog'maw eating everything? How is he so controlled and refined on the rift?

some food is more prefered than others, have you ever seen a fed kogmaw, more like kogmore kills plz

Q how the hell do champions respawn, and how do they talk after they die

SpecterVonBaren1 votes

The rift is actually a dream plane that allows the minds of people and creatures to join in the same place. This is why everyone isn't the same size to their real world selves as well.

Q Why does Vel'Koz's ultimate laser stop a set distance instead of continuing on until it reflects off something?

FatedSaviour1 votes

the laser comes from his eye, after travelling a certain distance it gets to the point where he cant see past where the lazer is therefore making it a maximum range

Q, explain items and how champions use them

SpecterVonBaren1 votes

Harkening back to my previous answer, the Rift is a world inside dreams, the masters of this particular world are the two shop keepers at each nexus who have dreamers participate in this battle for their enjoyment.

The items they sell are not actually a sword or a bow and arrow or any of that, but instead small tablets that give the holder certain powers depending on what the dream masters want that item to give them. Champions gain "stats" merely by holding the small tablets and can activate their "actives" just by thinking it.

You ever tasted an orange peel? If you get mad at tahm for spitting him out after that you've never bit into an orange peel.

Alright my question is how does rewinding time hurt everyone aroundEkko but heals him when he's at the center of the explosion?

Also where the hell does Fizz get his shark from considering it emerges from the ground.

ShovelShepherd1 votes

Answer 1: He teleports in minutely after the explosion happens, absorbing the pain of those around him Answer 2: Obviously, his shark is related to Rek'Sai and can travel through land. Q: Why do none of the marksmen, including those who don't use magic, never run out of ammunition?

Simple, although they might be incapable of magic, storage rings are common popular magical goods sold in Runeterra. They have access to a large pocketspace which allows them to access an amount of ammo unimaginable to any melee champion about to get blasted in the face. Storage rings, an absolute must for all marksmen.

Reversing time means reversing entropy, which requires energy. In the case that there are enemies nearby, Ekko conveniently uses their lifeforce to supplement the energy needed.

As for Fizz? It is well known that Atlanteans were experts at spatial magic. He throws a fish that has a wormhole opening magic attached, after which the wormhole to an area of the ocean completely infested with huge sharks is opened.

Question: Why do Katarina's Daggers and Akali's Q and R deal magic damage?

The 2nd Horseman2 votes

I believe both champions just use magic to control their daggers. I mean if Katarina isn't using magic to direct her dagger to jump around like that then the enemy is receiving magic damage in the form of a mind break in an attempt to comprehend what happened.

How soraka can use scarcall and the entire existence of the match don't vanish causing the game to uninstall?

SpecterVonBaren1 votes

Well this isn't really what my post is talking about (I'm talking about explaining game mechanics with lore, which would be something like, why does hitting someone with a star heal Soraka), but I'll say it's because she's not really hitting them with stars but instead shooting stars which will still hit like a truck but aren't going to destroy the planet when they're the size she's using.
