A theme song for every champion. (Part 1)

Electro522·2/28/2017, 12:03:25 AM·6 votes·1,147 views

Riot has been coming out with some pretty impressive music lately. Unfortunately, they can't give the same treatment to every champ, and, only in the past couple years have champs been coming out with theme songs. So, lets fix this, shall we?

The point of this thread is to try to give each champ a song that fits with their personality. Quite a few of them will come form Riot because, lets face it, there are some songs Riot has made that was perfectly crafted for the champ (like Diana's).

Some of these you may not agree with, which is fine. It can be kind of hard to find a song that properly fits a champion, since, no one listens to every song ever made. If you think you have a better suggestion for a song than one I list, feel to tell me, and I'll replace my choice.

Aatrox Aatrox Song: God of War 2 Main Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVljywxAjH0

Now, Aatrox does have his own theme song from Riot, but, to be honest, its kind of......meh. So, I thought I'd give him something better.

Ahri Ahri Song: Journey to the West from Princess Mononoke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JeAW2Y_AeY

Ahri is tough to find a theme song for, which might sound surprising. That said, I think I may have found something that fits, and how lucky she is for it to be coming from one the greatest movies ever made.

Akali Akali Song: Akame Ga Kill Opening Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEjTWgB64Qs

Before any of you come running at me with your pitchforks, allow to clear some things up. First, I don't really play Akali, and her lore is in a weird state right now. So, I'm not sure if I should go for something a bit more tragic, or something a bit more hard core like this. Also, I don't watch too much anime. In fact, the only anime I have really ever truly watched is RWBY, Avatar; The Last Airbender (if you consider that anime) and movies from Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away is one of my favorite movies of all time). So, cut me a little slack if I'm dead wrong on this.

From the little amount I know of this show, it seems as if the opening for it not only sounds like it would fit Akali, but looks like it too.

Alistar Alistar Song: Gladiator Main Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t_4BL1TXbw

Even though Ali himself is kind of a meme, his lore is actually kind of tragic. He is, essentially, a gladiator. So, what better to way to illustrate this than by using the song from the movie itself?

Amumu Amumu Song: The Curse of the Sad Mummy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY6SlRK5SIo

And we finally come to the first Riot developed song. Thing is, Amumu is one of the first champs to ever be released for this game, so, he never came with a theme song. However, the musicians at Riot wanted to make a song for a champ that doesn't have one, just for the hell of it. After several months, this work of art was released, and I'm certain you can't find anything that suits Mumu better.

Anivia Anivia Song: X-Men The last Stand: Jean Grey Theme - Dark Phoenix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUUBjA7yyRQ

Yes, I know, the movie sucked, but the music is actually pretty good. Yes, I know Anivia is a "cryophoenix" and not a classic phoenix. Yes, I know Anivia isn't inherently evil.

With all that said, I still think this fits her quite well. I was thinking of using Riot's Freljord theme (the same song you hear when queueing up for an ARAM match), but I think that fits a different champ better. We'll get to that.

Annie Annie Song: Ring around the Rosie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKI2gOawEPA

For those of you that don't know, Ring around the Rosie actually represents the Black Death. You can look it all up, but, the background to this song is not a bright one, which is why I chose a creepy version (if you just look up "ring around the rosie" on Youtube, you'll find a bunch of toddler videos).

So, a creepy kids song all about death as a theme song for a 4 year old Pyromaniac? Sounds good to me.

Ashe Ashe Song: Little Birthday Girl/Your own bow from Brave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_4kdKZYn1U

There is alot of music from Brave that you could use for Ashe. Thankfully, though, since not too many people want to sit through an hour long video, I think the first 2 pieces from this, called "Little Birthday Girl" and "Your own Bow" respectively fit Ashe the best out of everything. Just listen to the first few minutes of this video, and you'll know what I mean.

AurelionSol Aurelion Sol Song: Aurelion Sol Login Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApCoJeatwac

Some of these will be really easy. Since ASol is one of our newest champs on the roster, Riot gave him his own theme song, and, evidently, it fits very well.

Don't you agree?

Azir Azir Song: Rise of the Ascended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smNA_BYDODU

Azir, too, has his own song.

Bard Bard Song: Bard Login Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWHmgob5FDA

Sure, you might be able to find an actual song for Bard......but this is Bard we're talking about. I don't think anyone but Riot can truly make a song that fits him. I mean......he's Bard.

Blitzcrank Blitzcrank Song: Mr Roboto by Styx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cShYbLkhBc

You had to have seen this one coming. In my opinion, I do think that there is a song out there that could fit Blitz better than this, but, it will have to do for now.

Brand Brand Song: It's the End of the World by R.E.M. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY

Surprisingly, Brand is the only character in League with truly apocalyptic goals. Not even the Void monsters have that (they're normally focused on just one thing.......which is mostly eating). He would like nothing more than to see Runterra burn to a crisp......and continue burning for all eternity. So, why not give him a song that's all about the world ending?


I'm splitting this into several posts, that way not any single thread gets too long. Expect Part 2 out shortly.

I think I have a couple of good ideas for Ahri and Ashe

For the lovely waifu

Then for Ashe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbH7V86Q4to

Reasoning: I like the high points of the first piece and the rhythms it has that match the flow of playing her. For the second it's slower and more gradual to keep in line with her being one of the slowest/simplest ADCs to play. I should note I like instrumental songs. Lyrics are cool, but nothing says theme song than just the notes playing.

E. Lux deserves the fma brotherhood first opening.

SG udyr is eye of the tiger. Or it's tricky

DJ sona is her own theme.

Pulsefire Ez... don't know.

Also Ekko is steinsgate theme.

Also got the song for GP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMhfbLRoGEw

I was thinking about how the song "Waiting on the world to change" fits Skarner's lore. The Brackern migrated underground to, as you guessed, wait for the world to change.
