Am I the only one who thought Sivir...

...only told Nasus to protect everyone, so he could get lost?

I mean, don't get me wrong, she wanted him to save them, I'm sure; however, it felt like she did it just to test him.

Sivir: Thank god, I thought he would never leave. Come Taliyah, we're going shopping. Taliyah: But.. I don't have money... Sivir: Pfft, what do you think I got shanked for? cause I wouldn't do a job? That isn't enough of a reason for someone to shank you, taking payment THEN not doing the job is ;D Taliyah: Oh you XP

Totally something she'd do. Also, Taliyah arrived in Shurima without Sivir in her color text. Ergo, Sivir must have told herself "NOPE, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS" and took her leave.

Well, Taliyah was already in Shurima. She just wasn't in the capital that Azir raised during Bloodlines

Actually, while she WAS in the capital before, her thoughts of "I need to save my folks" weren't especially rekindled (and she already wanted to save them from the start) until after she listend to the sadness of the rocks.

If I'm not mistaken, her color text happened before she found Sivir a little after leaving the capital.

And, at the very least, we know Bloodlines happened right after Sivir got stabbed in her color text.

So, yeah. I think it was

Tali CT > Sivir CT > Bloodline

Also, just a question, how long was Azir around after being ressurrected?

I ask because I'm not sure how long Sivir has been "questioning" things, wandering about the sands before getting stabbed.

Actually, Bloodline is BEFORE Tal's CT. It describes her arriving from her journey as if she was coming back home to the Shuriman heat.

Sivir#s CT might take place before bloodline, but Tal's surely doesn't.

Yeah, you're right. Now that I think of it, she already crossed the Sai fully by the time she entered into Azir's capital.

I also like the fact that Tali's first question the moment Azir was mentioned is "Will he make us all slaves!?!?"

I like it because it is relevant to her personal worries, but it is nearly irrelevent (maybe in immediate context) of what's happening at the very moment.

i.e. Buildings being destroyed, people killed, ancient ascended being telling them that he needs to rescue Sivir from impending doom.

But, that's not important. What is Azir's political policies? That is of a greater importance than running away before turning into a lightning rod.

Azir "I am your God and you will obey. In return I will protect you from our enemies and you will have the privilege of living in the greatest empire the world will ever see."

Probably something along those lines. He is a dictator after all, even if a benevolent one.

I am pretty sure that he had to change his ways a bit to gain Ascension.

Dataless1 votes

He thinks of his people first, and wants what is best for them, but he is still very much a totalitarian figure, even his VO lends itself to this and that's POST Ascension.

You do understand that you compare Azir to Stalin and Hitler right now? Azir VO doesn't give you that negative feeling you should get from actual totalitarian leader. The difference is Azir wants to protect his home but he isn't talking about taking others land by force or killing innocent ppl.

Totalitarian guys done that while keeping their ppl in fear and despair. There was no room for talking, you either did your part or you and your family got killed.

And some of his quotes directly give you choice.

"You need not follow, but you must witness." or "We are made by our choices."

I can't honestly say he feels like a bad guy.

I'm going more for Alexander the Great than Hitler. You also seem to keep missing the point, you can spin his character any way that you like but the fact will never change that Azir is a dictator. The difference is the word "benevolent", one that I use every single time I talk about him. He IS kind. He DOES care about his people and want to do right by them. But that doesn't change the fact that he is a freaking Bird-God and if you don't like him being your undisputed ruler than you can kindly GTFO of his desert.

Azir You need not follow, but you must witness.

I imagine anybody who rebukes his rule is, at very least, welcome to leave the desert. Who knows if he'd allow sovereign territories within it. I imagine several tribes will need convincing of Azir's power, while others will need displays of influence. Considering the dude took his promise to undo a very long tradition of slavery and servitude seriously (though he blew it), I doubt he's gonna be too awful.

Hence the "benevolent" part of benevolent dictator.

Yes.

Sivir is just a bitch but I still like her personality. She and Taliyah are highly brave.

Like size, relative power in the game is not a perfect parallel to the game world.

Nasus was rather brutal that fight Chop 3 in half with one swing, punched through a mans chest, then Bit the last ones head off

And it is said Nasus could fight with a mortal army single-handed. He is also powerful af but not equal to Xerath.

He should have farmed Q for another 20 minutes before attacking Xerath.

Yeah that crossed my mind to. But even good decisions for the wrong reasons can still be good thing.

I think it could potentially turn into a little cool moment for Sivir . Like, she told Nasus to save everyone to get rid of him, but then she realizes a part of her cared enough to want to save other people.

Rito's said that Sivir's going to undergo some major development. We'll see. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]
