So it sounds like Aurelion Sol or whatever his name might be is quite the sodding douche!

ARAM Map skin? YAY!!!!!

And yes, that guy is a douche.

Mount Targon here we come!

Maybe.

I hope.

I mean we're already there technically but a Targonian ARAM skin sounds awesome.

Eeeeh, I kind of wish he was less of an asshole, but I guess when you're (most likely) a huge ass dragon that can destroy mountains, you're kind of allowed to be a douche tbh.

He's also likely filled with the purest form of energy in the universe. He's probably somewhat justified in his arse like demeanor.

Xerath Isn't quite the humble guy either :3

Yeah but he's not quite arse hole level like Draven is, at least from where I can see.

"You chase power, Syndra. I am power!"

"I stand at the brink of infinity."

"You cannot fathom what I am."

I agree though, Draven is a basic human, and look at his ego. I can't imagine ascended Draven's ego. He could kill you with only talk.

Not all champions are humble. Draven is a perfect example of a great champ, with good looks, and no heart. If there was a mirror on SR, he wouldn't be able to move from it.

Sharjo8 votes

We have very few arse hole champions. Draven pretty much holds that title alone, so yeah, totally fine with another arse hole popping up. I hope he's as likable because of that douche-hat ness as Draven is!

A lot of those are evil, but not necessarily assholes. They're the kind of people to blow a city up. Draven is the kind of person to not call you the next morning.

Cassiopeia Isn't that much of a jerk to be honest, she manipulates people, sure, but that alone does not an arse hole make. Fiddlesticks Is similar in that he's not just out to ruin your day, he's like the embodiment of fear/death so he isn't expected to be super nice Gangplank Is essentially Captain Kidd, so you can't be too upset that he's off shooting people, everybody's gotta make a living Illaoi Is just really, REALLY devoted (Also she's listed as champion:420 for the icon, so there's that) And Rumble Is just fed up with being the underdog, granted Super Galaxy Rumble is annoying as hell.

The rest... yeah, pretty much. Shaco's more crazy than he is arse though. Malz is arguable to an extent but he leans towards the arse side.

In order:

Literally stabbed a woman in the back. Murders anyone who steps into his chambers. Murdered a kids parents in front of her. Religious zealot and murderer Smart mouthed racist, who got his head kicked in for being a, you guessed it, smart mouthed racist.

Assholes. All of them.

The thing about Cassio,Fiddle and Gangplank is that their asshole behavior kinda goes a bit beyond "asshole" and more into "straight up evil"-territory.

Also how is Illaoi a zealot?Yes she is a priestess of her god,but she doesn't care if you believe in her god or not and if she tests you,then it is meant to help you(in a sort of sink or swim way),her methods might be extreme,but they are effective.

I agree about Rumble though,he is kind of a jerk.

Exactly!!!

Illaoi gives you the test to see if you can Change, Move forward, and Better yourself.

If you can't, Then that wasted energy is better used somewhere else.

Ralanr1 votes

That's basically enforced Darwinism. But she only does it to those she thinks is worthy of the test.

It's not like she goes into a restaurant and forces the test on every random person.

She forces her religion onto others, and kills them if they fail her little test. Textbook example of religious zealotry.

GreenLore1 votes

The thing is she doesn't force her religion onto you. While she preaches a lot about nagakaborous,she doesn't care if you worship her or not.

What she does is that she forces her test onto you and if the test kills you or not isn't something that she can influence and it doesn't matter for the test if you believe in nagakaborous or not.

If the tested person survives the test,then he/she is changed for the better,people get over their depressions,let go of their addictions,find their will to live again,etc.

Yeah, she does. Forcing you to either test or die counts as forcing your religion on someone. If I walked up to someone with a gun in the name of the Baptist faith, and said I'd shoot them if they got a question wrong, it's forcing your religion on someone. She's a zealous asshole.

GreenLore1 votes

But she doesn't expect you to worship nagakaborous afterwards,not to mention that while she does something that could kill you,it does actually help you.

She's definetly not entirely good,but I wouldn't say that she is a zealous asshole if those who pass the test are changed for the better.

BIAKaboose1 votes

I mean when you put it that way, I guess yeah, kind of assholes.

Fiddle I still give a bit of credit though, he was summoned by one of the highest summoners working with the League using forbidden magic that involved him killing himself to make it happen. Fiddles is just a REALLY introverted demonic construct. Besides, he helps out the League by playing executioner, er, did before Riot wrecked the entirety of the lore.

It'll be the ultimate troll if the next champ comes out and it isn't Aurelian Sol lmao.

Just like "Oh yeah this dragon's awesome!" "Such a douche dragon omg" "THIS DRAGON DESTROY'S MOUNTAINS!"

Riot: "Hey guys! We're proud to announce our new champion-Win Ju: The sun god!"

It'll literally just be like this: https://40.media.tumblr.com/25c5a7bede53245e8942afa0cc88c19d/tumblr_nozgbpCg681u13t3oo1_500.jpg

His demeanour reminds me of Smaug, so I'm already hyped! And his line "Turrets? I destroy mountains!", like, damn. Though, it sounds like another god-like champion, so it will be weird to see him in-game to be beat by someone like Caitlyn who uses rifles and bear yordle traps.

I will main him, no doubt. Can be super shit, I dont care. I main champions because of their theme.

chances are the same voice actor who works for riot is doing both champs. An awesome voice though that holds the position of "I'm superior and you are mediocre at best"

Definite Smaug influences. I like it.

Does this mean we get another ARAM map skin like Butcher Bridge?

When I think of a powerful force-of-nature dragon, I don't think of some douchebag sitting on a mountain equivalent of a high horse, criticizing everyone like a mother-in-law that hasn't had a lay in well over 20 years. I really, REALLY hope this isn't Aurelion Sol

Meep Man2 votes

Well, actually, most dragons are very cocky. They like others to fear them and show them that they, the dragon, are the ones in charge.

He sounds a lot like Smaug to me. Talking about how legendary he is and how miniscule and barbaric the techniques of those below him are with their swords and MAAAAAGIC...

Solitair1 votes

Cocky doesn't have to include this extreme unlikable inflection. Look at Alduin from Skyrim. he thinks very poorly of humanity and speaks confidently of the destruction of human souls permanently, and bringing perdition to the world as it is known, and even HE sounds more likable than this guy.

The Last Ballad1 votes

His comments are in the vein of Handsome Jack's, with less chumminess of course. AND I LOVE IT!
