Disappointed he didn't say something along the line of this to Jhin

"Circle 4, Ha you wish it's Circle 5 for you."

Ah Dante's Inferno. One of my longtime favorite Hack-And-Slash games. So glad Riot made some interesting references to that game.

Yeah it was pretty awesome to see the references to The Divine Comedy :D

Do people in America study italian literature? Like do you guys know Petrarca, Boccaccio or the renaissance? I'm asking because I'm curious and I honestly didn't know that european literature was studied in America. I know that Dante should be studied by everyone but damn I wasn't expecting americans to understand every reference... good job!

So... the Nexus is a "living crystal". This seems oddly specific seeing as Nexi are non-canon. Aren't they?

So gatekeeper galio can reference graves having a cigar (not actually in the game), but graves can't have his cigar in the game?

(please don't remove it, riot).

I'm kinda surprised there's no Thresh interaction.

Man, you really can't appreciate these references without reading Inferno first.

Can't wait to see if we'll have some more quotes from the Commedia of Dante in the italian version of the voiceover
