The Music

Its really saddening how little the music is known...And the music Riot Games does it no the stereotypical choir that many games have for theme.. The music themes they create to match characters are amazingly done..Honestly when a rework or a champion appears on PBE the thing im waiting for is the login theme..And many have the sound off while they log in..Players love Jhin's theme and claim its the best one. Why ¿ They first heard it in game. So they googled it and found it. An huge amount of the players just play the game over and over and see it as a soulless game just like moving pixels that throw abilities that kill, destroy and win and gives them LP... But we know more..We know that they are not just that. They are characters with personalities and much more. There is so much more then just "soulless game" There is the Art..Which makes the game lovable for some people including me... The story and music is the thing that really speaks not the combos or buffs, nerfs. The story can't be forced on the players nothing can...But the music which is really really breathtaking could be shown to the player base. They can be introduced to something great. And also this idea could please others how already have heard the music or read the lore. I really like the idea of Pyke's music being played when he gets kill or some spooky music when he stalks you. Imagine when you get a kill as lets say Aatrox. And time to time randomly when you get a kill on someone or shutdown or idk tower ¿ The theme of Aatrox plays low in the background. Or when you lock in Aatrox you should get him theme played or the highlight of the time played or only in the last 10 seconds of the champion selection. Or just the first few seconds of the game.. Like GG MF And if I sit here and type ideas of way how the music can be used instead of being forgotten.. Because it is really sad about the afford the time spend to craft the perfect matching theme for some give character(lets say Akali's theme. You can feel the mystery the shroud around her character then slowly turning into the fast phased and deadly side of her character. While she is an action. And That really fits her Character. She is a well trained assassin deadly and as sharp in mind as her blades). All of that time and afford just to be left forgotten...That is not right. I really hope Riot is planning something in the future where they use these amazing pieces of music.

So what is you favorite login theme ¿ Have some other ideas about how could the music be used ¿

If we are talking only about the log-in themes im gonna go with Galio's rework , that theme is intense!

and if we are talking about the music in general, im gonna go with Freljord theme.

As you said, It's like every song they make is telling the story of that champion or region. like listening to Jhin's theme, you can "feel" his story in that song. or when listening to Freljord's theme you can feel the cold lives of an ancient nation, who struggle to keep going everyday, but they are still hopeful, the frozen landmarks, the untold secrets, the mysterious ruins. or Irelia's theme perfectly captures that, eastern blade dancer vibes.

Music theme simply pays much attention to these details. i have half of their work on my phone listening to a least few of them everyday.

one thing i would want to see more often is the videos of process of making these songs.
