When you're smurfing and winning your final promo game.

"What are we to do?" asked the Support, with the young Adc still clutching her furs.

"I'd leave", said Ryze.

He knew if they stayed, the trolls would descend on the them come nightfall, leaving none alive. And outside the promos, worse dangers lurked.

"Can't we come with you?" called the young Adc.

Ryze paused. Part of him - a vestige of irrational compassion deep within - screamed. Take them. Protect them. Forget about the rest of the League.

But he knew he couldn't. Ryze trudged into the deep Silver snow, choosing not to look back at the faces of those he was leaving. For these were the faces of the dead, and his business was with those who could still be saved.

From Ryze's lore.

I still think Ryze is a jerk.

Evidently couldn't save anyone at all there.

New ult teleports large groups of people.

Hm well it's not very far. :P

If he built full CDR, he could have just teleported them every 78 seconds. It may not seem like much in game, but you move a lot slower when carrying tons of possessions and trudging through knee-deep snow so it would have been a real timesaver to just spam-ult them all (or as many as he could have shoved in the realm warp) to safety.

But, nooo! He has to go and leave them to be troll chow.

If he...uh built cdr? You think lore really has builds? :D

You could then say that Aatrox can just die every 3 minutes with no problem. :)

I am kind of joking, you know that, right? Otherwise, Shurima's problems would all be over assuming they could supply Nasus with things to smash. XD

But still, it wouldn't have killed Ryze to just try, would it?

He did consider it, but came to the conclusion that the runes were more important.

It was a "greater good" sort of deal. Unlike Poppy, his view on the world as a whole has gotten more cynical with age while her optimism is still strong but her confidence is lacking.

He's probably seen the same scenario hundreds of times.

I get it. To be honest, I like Ryze, he's a neat guy.

And I like how you compared him to Poppy, since they both have similar (in a sense) goals but approach them differently. Dang, you should write a fanfic where they meet. Perhaps a bad situation is afoot and Poppy convinces Ryze to try helping people, thus, re-instilling his declining belief that heroes can exist.

It's an interesting idea. Though while I could put that on my back burner of ideas, you could also try it.

EvilUnicornLordOct 27, 20161 votes

You know what? I think I will. Give me a few weeks (because I'm lazy) and I'll whip something up.

RalanrOct 27, 20161 votes

That's the spirit! And I know the laziness problem all too well my friend.

EvilUnicornLordOct 28, 20161 votes

Oh, and by the way, are you about done with the Sentinel and Hammer Keeper thing yet?

RalanrOct 28, 20161 votes

I'm still typing it up (written part is actually done) and I tend to spend about an hour typing (I say hour but it's more like 20 minutes of straight writing and 40 surfing the web).

So far I've typed up 10 hand written pages and only have 5 to go. I was hoping to have it posted today, but I'll hopefully get it out this Saturday.

Ok, well I guess I better find some motivation to bother writing. That's the first and worst writing block, bringing yourself to do it.

RalanrOct 28, 20161 votes

Yeah, it's a pain. Usually I have to find an idea that I not only like, but can work or explore upon (as opposed to being too good for me to tackle properly).

I used to fix my blocks with music giving me fight scenes, but it's getting harder.

Have you tried Two Steps from Hell for music?
