Pantheon new lore is amazing

I remember how people disliked the "space heavy" aspect of targon and how it affected characters like leona/pantheon/diana.

With this lore, I feel Riot just did something really awesome. They kept their own universe/logic but made a Pantheon that feel relatable/more close to the pantheon lover and "targon hater", a man who failed as a warrior so the entity overtook him (like how people disliked that pantheon was just the aspect) and through his story, he became a true warrior and hero by his own wit. Our own true badass, our real spartian, very much human. It is such a clever choice.

It is amazing, I am sure there will be people to find issue with this but I think the lore team REALLY made a move for everyone. Also, Aatrox is confirmed as fucking overlord of badass/power.

I always enjoy the stories of regular people overcoming the oppressiveness of gods. I especially liked how they essentially gave this scenario:

Pantheon: You're weak

Atreus: No u

So can anyone confirm if the Aspect of War is dead dead? Like no more reincarnations? If so, Aatrox is freaking nuts.

Aatrox: "I wield a god-killing blade." Atreus: "Good thing I'm not a god, then."

I loved the part when Aatrox killed Pantheon with a sword. Like, ASol threw a star on other Pantheon body, and it just killed the body, not the aspect And Aatrox killed the aspect itself and erased the constellation of War with a fucking sword.

And then a normal human 1x1 Aatrox and won. Atreus-Pantheon>Aatrox>Old Pantheon

I love it, a man made god is the best kind of god.

I love how his lore went from one of the weakest (in my opinion, there was nothing really special about it) to one of the best, and they didn't even have to retcon anything.

It's great since they didn't rewrite everything and start over but I really don't like that it leaves more questions the answers that aren't going to be answered anytime soon... Like how the does the "reignited" works? How is this possible? How did the aspect/the power itself die or got thrown away?
