Shadow Isles is the best faction

It is official: Riot has confirmed that the Shadow Isles are, in fact, the best faction on Runeterra.

The shadowy tendrils of the Black Mist reach far, and not even the monstrous dwellers of the deep are safe from the Isles' somber call. In other words, the Shadow Isles offer you such magnificent creations as:

...and many more!

Next time you wish to pledge yourself to a faction, consider the Shadow Isles—consider how trifling and limited mortal comprehension is—and consider how wonderful the myriad mysteries of the spectral world are compared to those worthless living people and their meaningless struggling against their inevitable mortality.

And also, consider #the Spider God. https://i.imgur.com/qXdKWjG.png[/img]

I...I can't remain calm anymore. I longed to see more of the shadow Isles! We got to see what Ledros looks like! Other horrors that are from the shadow Isles. The card game is perfect for showing off more of Runterra!

WHOOOOOO!!! LEDROS !!!

Playing this game and making sure I use him all the time x)

... But he’s not a champ in this game so I’m kinda thinking he won’t be a champ in League . — .

Here’s to hoping anyways item 3153


It’s fine boiz since Senna isn’t a champion on it either Draven

So far I've seen Ledros, Yone, Ionian Yordles, ALL OF THE POROS so many lore characters now have a face. Little teases to all the characters you see from the lore. I hope there's Tamara, Setaka, Ildhaurg and more when I get my hands on it.

Plus that REGIONAL art that I saw! All of the decks are based on regions and all of that is backed up by refreshed art.

Between this and the new artbook we are gonna be swimming in it for a while.

Where do you get these images, I can't find them on the official site O_o?

Eitherway there is also the card of the undying, which might be just a random shadow isles ghost, but it could also be the undying prisoner of thresh. https://playruneterra.com/assets/e162b47c5608e4b67491a5896bbfe30147ef5932/static/image/fractions/shadow-isles/01SI041.png

So the Shadow Isles has my favorite champ Yorick, my favorite ADCKalista, plus Ledros looking hella badass from one of my favorite stories and a GHOST SHARK CHARIOT? Yes without a doubt this is the coolest region.
