Anyone else excited for Kled/Skaarl?

IDK how they'll name them in game (The Kindred thing or just choose Kled since he's the rider?). I am however super excited for this champion. We never get to see really evil Yordles (Exceptions being Veigar and Teemo) and this one is not only a NOXIAN but from the cinematic he looks like a crazy motherfucker that rides a Two legged kangaroo ass salamander. Can't wait to see how he/they work(s) in game.

He's just going to be Kled assuming the follow the trend they set with Nunu/Wilump, Quinn/Valor, and Sejuani/Bristle.

There was a myth once that Valor used to actually do something

Only Play Darius3 votes

Well back in those days switching to Valor was more of a liability than anything else so you could say he still never really did anything

LordGeovanni1 votes

tell that to the front liners that died to let their carries get away from a loseing fight and valors increased speed and attack speed made all the sacrifice worthless

LordGeovanni1 votes

also thats another issue of people wanting to use a skill just because its there rather than waiting until its useful to use it adc being the class most like that excluding some escape skills most adc skills get used off cooldown if they think they can hit the enemy with it just because with no plan to engage or anything

I personally think the design is garbage and he shits on Noxian values. Noxus didn't need cartoon villains riding cowardly mounts. A real Noxian would have skinned a mount as lame as that.

mounts run off that has nothing to do with noxian valuse and but touches on animal nature the teasers were the rider being emotional. noxian soldier s are supposed to be fairless and it was expressed before not that i remember where that noxians hate yordles but even a yordle could rise in noxian ranks if they prove themselves useful

All you know is a few posters about the mount and a video that gives no information except clarifying that the champ is a yordle. Why on earth are you making assumptions to the natures of the pair? If you remember, the poster had the mount running away and being called cowardly at a "large river battle", then had the person looking for the saddle, then suddenly the thing is beloved, the battle has a name, and the mount is called the pride of Noxus.

What I think happened is that the mount ran away during the battle, then saved the battle(for the noxus side at least) somehow. Kled, not knowing this, made his first poster. Then the command told him(possibly after accepting him into their ranks) that his mount was helpful and to recover the saddle(maybe it was supplied by Noxus?), which lead to the slightly nicer second poster(Sion, being a major weapon for the Noxian army, would have had a large chance of being there). Later, after the battle was named for the report to Noxian command(and the history books), Kled learned of the importance of his mounts actions, which lead to the last one.

Now doesn't that sound like a more concrete theory than "the design is garbage and he shits on Noxian values"(Noxian values, that's funny. They value strength. That's it. It doesn't matter how you are strong(Magic? You're good. Brute strength? Welcome aboard! Tactics? We can use you. Unable to die? TO THE FRONT LINES!), you just need to be. So far they have not been said or shown to have any other values than that.) You know nothing of Kled's design, other than he is a mounted yordle that may be affiliated to Noxus, yet you are already jumping the gun and calling it terrible? Jeez, at least wait for monday/tuesday when they reveal it!

A real Noxian would have skinned a mount as lame as that.

Did you not notice him tearing apart the soldiers in the video? And cowardice can be trained out, just look at war horses. With most normal horses you can't even approach too fast without them shying away. War horses charge straight towards enemies that are screaming at the top of their lungs. Did you think that was just an inbred trait?

Probably Kled. Same as Nunu and Wilump. Still wanting to play Kled though.

Sukishoo1 votes

Pretty sure they will just go with Kled, since the last time the tried to name a dual champion they just removed all instances of such (aka Quinn and Valor)

Arakadia1 votes

Wait, so Quinn used to be called Quinn and Valor?

Sukishoo1 votes

Yes. On release Quinn was Quinn and Valor, later on they just renamed the champion to Quinn.

LordGeovanni1 votes

we all know what happend to quinn. the are most likely gonna be like sejuani and brissle

YuGiHo1 votes

Not really after how Quin and valor turned out

Arakadia1 votes

Same!

I'm hoping to see a mechanic were Kled and Skaarl can separate in some way and get a power boost when the two of them are together (which would make sense, given most of the trailers have Kled searching for Skaarl).

SpookyNeedle1 votes

Maybe skaarl is somewhere on the map and when Kled retrieves him, he gets a power spike of some sort?

Rito Staff1 votes

Yup I've never been more excited, you can feel my excitement in my words (xD I am pretty hyped up)

I hope his kit will be fun to play with and unbnoxious to play against.

While people joke about him being Satan, Teemo isn't actually evil. He has the ability to turn off his emotions so he can do his job without the burdens of doubt or regret, but normal non-combat Teemo is described as being genuinely warm and pleasant. He sounds like a pretty cool guy so long as you're not an enemy.

With Omega Squad Teemo, he might have developed some kind of PTSD that made him lose the kindness of his normal personality, or he just decided he didn't want to go back to being his normal self.

But anyway, I am looking forward to playing Kled.

Yes Teemo isn't evil, he's just scary as fuck.

But teemo is satan and satan = evil

TheRealBaz1 votes

i am really excited for kled but they said that the next champ wouldn't be a jungler or mid and i'm sad because we don't have a yordle jungler

Lintu Puck1 votes

All Yordles are somewhat twisted in their own ways for some reason or another, with I think Heimerdinger and Rumble being among the sanest. Corki - Crazy Bombardier Ziggs - Does it need explaining? Tristana - Soldier girl who likes explosions Teemo - Soldier/Scout to the core. Like any real life soldier it can be hard to balance the harshness of a soldier life you need to live with the happy normal life you wish to have. Leading to Omega where it seems Teemo has finally been snapped by something and possibly killed a few fellow champions, including long time friend and partner, Tristana. Veigar - TORTURED and then went gathering dark arts Lulu - kinda kidnapped by faeries like Pix, and she eventually went home a very long time had passed so basically all who she knew and loved were long dead.

Not to mention I think it is mentioned somewhere on the Yordle wiki page that their species kinda needs the comradery and closeness the race normally shows or they kinda lose >.> Doesn't help that their race use to have a Rage Gene (see Gnar's passive)

Lizard hype is real tbh

Kled and Skaarl, are really freaking cool in design. I did have a laughing nerd moment with these guys since they are clearly inspired by the Gremlins and How to Train Your Dragon movies which im big fans of <3.

Also Kled is a chaotic furry who loves to wreck sheep up similar to Jinx, Rocket Raccoon, Wildstar's Chua and how i feel when im dominating as Rumble or Ziggs.

So I'm 101% cool with this duo champion.

Tahm, Gnar and soon to be Kled are the only champions I've purchased release date bundles on.

I think Kled and Skraal are going to be jungler meta or maybe top. They maybe a squishy duo champ, from the trailer we can see they are a both strong cooperating killing machines and they look very dexterous which in games tends to make these type of characters have weak defense which brings to the term "Glass Cannon".

I'm calling this team comp.

Kled&Skraal, on Top Shaco, Jungler Lux/Ziggs Mid Lulu/Teemo Support Jinx, ADC

There we go the whole psychotic team. Hold Alt, press 4 go mental with spamming laughs from these deranged characters that you will have your neighbors call the police on you then you will be locked up in a crazy house for playing these champions.

I hope his passive lets him place an area as his own territory and if he enters that area, he is given enhanced stats.

TequilaZombie1 votes

Please not another Skarner!

GinkoG1 votes

I ment he places it himself, but it's too late. Hes already been shown.

I think that he will be an ambassador between the void and Noxus his mount is a failed first edition of kog'maw that they gave to kled as a peace offering.
