Dune Reference with Kled

Kandamane··4 votes·2,399 views

When Kled says "Noxus was created to train the faithful" is that at reference to Frank Herberts "Dune" where they say that "God created Arrakis to train the faithful". I looked around online and I couldn't seem to find anything. Thanks

Until you love the second book as well, you cannot join my exclusive Dune club.

Third book is where it becomes a struggle... :-P

...how can you possibly struggle with Children? I'd argue that God Emperor was more of a struggle, though that's just if you dislikes talking, since there was a -lot- of that in Emperor. In contrast, Children has so many things going on at once. Alia falling to her grandfather, Duncan contemplating sacrificing himself again, Preacher doing his thing, and all the plotting happening.

Plus, 'My skin is not my own' Leto doing what his father never dared.

Oh, and are you also responsible for Lissandra's 'Plans within plans' or was that someone else?

I actually like God Emperor for really deconstructing the themes of the first two books. It’s where I think the series culminates.

The less said about the rest the better.

Can we get a Mexican Kled skin please? Since Kled loves piñatas and tacos already, it is only natural he should get a Skin were Skaarl is a Piñata herself and Kled is wearing a sombrero and zarape. He could cycle through various mariachi instruments for weapons, such as guitars, violins and trumpets, each time his fourth W auto triggers his current instrument would break and he would produce a new one.

Bonus points if he covers his eye with a bandana or eye-patch whenever he is in his unmounted bonus movement speed animation towards champions, as if he was trying to hit a piñata

As a Mexican Kled main my life would be fulfilled if this came true

I am onboard with all of bandito Kled. But I'm not on skin's team.... so.

Yes, he can. He can relay the idea while leaving completely unrelated tacos for them.

hmmm, come think of it I don't know the gender of the Rioter.

I guess it can be obnoxious for Riot WAAARGHBobo to get skin requests all the time, but I really want the skin made, so my hope is that at least s/he talks to coworkers about how another dumb forum crawler requested an awesome skin idea even though s/he doesn't work on the "skin team" and eventually that idea will trickle into the right ears :p

If s/he went all the way to actually bribe the team with tacos that would be super cool haha

Woohoo Cookie! Thanks that's pretty cool. Now we just need Ekko with a Muad'Dib skin 😅

Sandstorm ekko exists though. Just gotta add some blue particles to it and act like it's all Spice.
