Warwick story

Yes, I am obsessed with Warwick

So warwick got his bio and story today, and it's some of the best stuff Riot has put out. First, his bio does a fantastic job of showing him as the violent beast who's forgotten his past. He's fuzzy (;)) on the details of his past, as his own thoughts are crowded out, but he knows there's something there. It makes this violent murderbeast feel human, in a way.

Then, his story is like a reverse Sion. He starts out mostly aware, even showing intelligence, as he uses the girl as bait to lure his true victims. However, she gets cut and he loses control, and the story ends with him having killed many, not knowing or caring if she's still alive.

Warwick is a wild beast, constantly losing more of himself to his bestial nature, and that is what makes him, in some ways, the most human member of the entire roster.

Warwick is just as good a story teller as he looks to be. He forgot all of the details, lmao. Is the girl jinx? Is she a champion at all? Who was warwick exactly? Was he really just your run off the mill vigilante? It was so good yet answered nothing that in itself is amazing. Looking forward to Jinx's lore.

Yeah. That's what's so cool about this lore as opposed to, say, old Jinx lore. Old Jinx lore just said: "she showed up. she blew stuff up. No one knows where she came from." Warwick, on the other hand, has his bio told from his mental state. It's vague, doesn't give many details because he has so few details to give. That's better than old Jinx, who clearly had a past but it was just ignored.

Also, don't think that I dislike Jinx. She's one of my favorite, if not my #1, champs. I just hate her old lore and want her to be more fleshed out in her new one.

I have to agree with you. Jinx is my favorite but her lore could be a little more fleshed out. Though I do want some mystery just to keep us guessing. Can't wait for her new lore.

Yeah, I want to keep some mystery, but just saying that someone showed up and did some criminal activity before vanishing isn't compelling, no matter how fun they are to play.

The man is dead, and from his shell, a beast has been unleashed.

Yeah. It does help the that he has some memories of his past life, and some of that humanity. Helps make him more than a murderbeast.

Hehehe yeah, I was just being poetic about it.

Too edgy for me to be quite honest, but it wasn't a bad read.

I think it goes even deeper, i think Warwick is Wyn, and a lot of his childhood was already revealed. Read my theory if u want :): http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/BKQyTgdh-clicks-theories-warwick-and-jinx-were-a-couple

I read that, actually. It was a pretty good read, a good theory (though we'll have to wait to see if it's true) and I'm glad you read my post and wanted to add your own thoughts.

whats you opinion on him losing the whole raka ww rivalry thing tho?

Hey cres!

I don't really care much about it. It always felt weird to me, that this wolfman had an interaction with this celestial being. It made him weirder and never really fit his personality, in my opinion. He was supposed to be a manhunter, yet he was out trying to eat the heart of some random chick in Ionia? I don't know, it just felt weird and out of place to me.

The Zaun characters I have to admit are the best we got this past year. Of course they aren't demigods of unfathomable power, but that's what makes them relatable. We have 3 more major Lore's, jinx Viktor and maybe mundo, he may or may not play a significant role as he simply does as he pleases. Then blitzkrank. I have my doubts about how important they can really make him. But definitely hype for jinx and Viktor lore.

midnight oil242 votes

Yeah. Jinx is my main marksman. Zaun4lyfe, m8 ;)

I disagree with you there, Targon is life:) But I'm glad that riot is doing good by you, even if it is lorewise only and not gameplaywise. RIP ADC 2017.
