sssssh

there is a piece that is missing

might be urgod, might be taric

"These protectors are supernovas blazing bright, yet destined to collapse as furiously as they burn."

"Although rare, a Star Guardian may reject their fate as a protector. However, the results of such an action reverberate across the universe and beyond."

"Janna led another team of Star Guardians, although she never speaks of her past."

They are not alone.

Well. I'm excited. (I'm implying that there might be a "fallen guardian" type skin added.)

Urgot, Taric, Garen, and Gragas Ex-SG!!!!!!

TattersallSep 20, 20163 votes

Okay, so I just wrote this down for no reason (rounded to the nearest half).

Lux: --Str: 1.5-- --Int: 2.5-- --Agi: 2-- --Spe: 4-- --Ord: 5-- --Cha: 0-- --Total: 15

Jinx: --Str: 3.5-- --Int: 3-- --Agi: 3.5-- --Spe: 5-- --Ord: 0-- --Cha: 4.5-- --Total: 19.5

Poppy: --Str: 5-- --Int: 2-- --Agi: 2-- --Spe: 4-- --Ord: 5-- --Cha: 0-- --Total: 18

Janna: --Str: 1-- --Int: 5-- --Agi: 4-- --Spe: 3-- --Ord: 2.5-- --Cha: 2.5-- --Total: 18

Lulu: --Str: .5-- --Int: 5-- --Agi: 3-- --Spe: 4-- --Ord: 1.5-- --Cha: 3.5-- --Total: 17.5

I assume the stats are strength, intelligence, agility, speed, ord(???) and charisma or character. Someone please tell me what "ord" means. I would say that the stat total tells us the price, but Lux would mean that 15 is equivalent to 1350. So yeah.
Looks like Tattersall is signing out. 'Till next time! Bye-bye! end recall animation

DanyojaSep 20, 20168 votes

I think Ord is suppose to be Order and Cha(while yes means charisma in most RPGS) I'm guessing means Chaos. So Poppy and Lux are both Lawful good (demacian mentality of course) probably indicating Lux being the typical Airhead Naive MC and Poppy being the take no non-sense type. Jinx is full Anarchy! Lulu's kind but mischievous. And Janna's right in the middle.

As for prices, I think the newer one's are going to be the same price, ashame Lux won't get a few bonus affects but maybe they have higher stats because Lux is suppose to be the MC which makes her weaker by default being the "plain jane" of the group.

Virgin RaySep 19, 201634 votes

Janna 's star guardian lore says she used to serve another team. Urgot was the original team.

Star GuardíanSep 19, 20164 votes

Can someone fill me in on all the hype for Star Guardian Poppy? Why was it wanted so bad? I'm not against it, I just didn't know this was a thing people wanted?

RalanrSep 19, 20166 votes

Its mainly that fanart.

Chimp JokerSep 19, 201626 votes

When I first saw Star guardian Jinx I was like...."Who the fuck is that?...Jinx!?...Well that's a shocker." I have to imagine that a lot of players will have the same reaction. Even better, when you read her bio, it also says that they dont know how jinx received the calling to become a star guardian....Fuck I want someone to make an anime or manga or light novel on this shit.

RalanrSep 19, 201621 votes

At the very least I want an anime opening that starts and ends with them falling from the sky.

JayrisesSep 19, 20167 votes

Yes. This. THIS SO MUCH. GIVE ME MY ANIMU.

SpecterVonBarenSep 19, 20167 votes

They could even have it be like the Imagine Dragon's video with how they do it as a call back.

They have no parachutes.

Gonna be a short anime.

So this brings the Star Guardians in the "actual" Lore, feels nice :D

Papa Sol is so proud girls! item 3070 AurelionSol

SharjoSep 19, 201612 votes

I'm glad these skin AUs are getting a bit of fleshing out; makes it that much more enjoyable!

Stars ShaperSep 19, 20168 votes

Indeed.

Being the Aurelion Sol freak that I am I would really like to hear from Riot what is his stance on Star Guardians and if he can "travel" AUs (or ask Bard to deliver his postcards to his daughters).

SharjoSep 19, 20165 votes

I'd imagine he's fairly grounded in a single AU but I can see him existing in his classic state in the Star Guardian universe. Or maybe he's something a bit more in line with the theme, so more magical girl esque.

God I would pay so many pounds for that skin.

I could see Bard being the same Bard across AUs, but having different outward appearances to fit wherever he's travelling to, being a dimension traverser and all.

Malicious MetalSep 19, 201612 votes

I still think Star Guardian Mordekaiser would have been a better option instead of Poppy.

A star-shaped Mace and frilly dress would look great on someone like Mordekaiser and he'd be the best candidate for a Star guardian skin. Gotta give it to Riot for giving someone like Poppy a Star guardian skin when it doesn't fit her AT ALL instead of the only champion whose design just screams for getting a Star Guardian theme.

Another missed opportunity

/s just in case someone mistakes this for the Gameplay boards-

RalanrSep 19, 20164 votes

Star Guardian Mordekaiser? Wouldn't that get in the way or Dark Star Mordekaiser?

SharjoSep 19, 201612 votes

Or Dark Guardian Mordekaiser where he leads his armies against the wretched Star Guardians?

Malicious MetalSep 19, 201613 votes

Only if we get Tuxedo Mask TF as well

RalanrSep 19, 20168 votes

Wait, wouldn't Ezreal be better as Tuxedo mask?

Wait is Jinx the protagonist?!

Malicious MetalSep 19, 20163 votes

Seems like it, huh.

Would be kinda funny if we had a VI skin to go with that AU

RalanrSep 19, 20161 votes

I'm not sure Riot would do that tease unless they were clear that they aren't siblings.

Malicious MetalSep 19, 20164 votes

Speaking of which.

Piltover/Zaun Lores, when?!

SharjoSep 19, 20163 votes

Not a sodding clue. I hope sooner rather than later though.

Malicious MetalSep 19, 20166 votes

I sure hope it's AFTER Riot realizes Viktor isn't some mustache-twirling Cartoon villain though.

Though it does look like they're setting up Piltover/Zaun with Eve's lore, Graves and TF's honeymoon to a certain Gunsmith and Jhin's performance

SharjoSep 19, 20161 votes

Did Ekko's comments grind your steel a tad? I'm reminded of Ekko's release now.

Malicious MetalSep 19, 20166 votes

Ekko "YOU'RE EVERYTHING WRONG WITH ZAUN!!!"

Viktor *points at DrMundo *

How is Viktor any worse than a madman who actually goes around murdering people just for fun?

Not at all, it needs far more weebs!

After all they're generally more accepting and nicer than you.

star guardian jinx is the stupidest fucking thing ever

her theme has nothing to do with it

but hey it will sell and that's what is important.

SpecterVonBarenSep 19, 201617 votes

Like Archduke Nasus, Gentleman Cho'gath, Arcade Ahri, Snowday Syndra, Dunkmaster Darius, Secret Agent Xin Zhao, Vandal Vladimir, or any Poolparty skin has aything to do with their respective champions themes?

Archduke nasus is to fit the "pimp cane" meme and it was an april fools day skin - nothing really is thought of it cuz of april fools Gentleman cho'gath is probably the closest example. It's also a highly outdated legendary skin. I think that Cho Gath's just in an awkward place thematically anyways Arcade ahri is ahri skin # 4951 - doesn't matter, if it's an ahri skin it will sell always Dunkmaster darius fits the dunking thing he's known for Secret Agent Xin Zhao, Vandal Vladimir are both pretty random and dumb too. You got me here. The pool party skins are summer events that they give to random champions. Idk, I guess anyone in league wouldn't mind going to the pool. Kinda got me there too.

SpecterVonBarenSep 20, 20169 votes

Well the point is to re-imagine champions as something different, and if you read what it says about Jinx as a Star Guardian, it outright says that she's rebellious and may turn away from protecting people.

SukishooSep 19, 201612 votes

Skins are meant to be an alternate fantasy, they have nothing to do with the main theme of a champion. Plus her's is hinted at as Legendary so she will have a full new voice over to fix some of that.

RalanrSep 19, 20169 votes

TIME TO RELEARN POPPY AND GET SOME RP BECAUSE I WILL BE SPAMMING THAT SKIN FOREVER!!!!!
