Some Men are Giants

Here's the new music video for "Mortal Reminder" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-mT9D4fdgQ And here's the cinematic A New Dawn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzHrjOMfHPY

In Mordekaiser's lore it says that he was once human, and the champion is Alphonse Elric his spirit in the suit he wore when he was alive. Similarly, in Nautilus's lore it says that the champion is still wearing the same diving suit he went underwater with-- that it had become a shell around him.

So these two were both human at some point. Yet they're both _gigantic. _ Neither story mentions that the suits grew, so the only explanation available is that these men were really big as humans. Not that that's a problem. It's a world where there are naturally occurring tiny fluffy people, sentient catfish, and magical shapeshifting human-animal hybrids. So 20 foot tall humans aren't too outlandish.

And if anyone verifies this as canon, then there's another small hole in the universal story that gets patched up. Galio. If Durand was one of these seemingly rare gigantic men, then his ability to create a 107 foot tall statue with no magic and no advanced tech seems much more reasonable.

I think it'd be a nice addition to the story if they just outright said that sometimes there are humans who are this huge. Not mountain-sized, but big enough to wield Garen's/Tryndamere's/Riven's swords as daggers. (and thus justifying why such big weapons were created in the first place)

Note: I had to round off and guesstimate for the numbers, but here's what I used: Assuming Ahri is 6' tall at the most, and looking at the dust cloud Nautilus creates since they never stand side-by side, he's a little under 4 times her height. I rounded that down to 20 because Ahri doesn't look 6' tall. Mordekaiser is at least twice as tall as Yorick, as we can see when they're back to back (no fancy math involved here, since we can see Mord's shadow against Yorick's back we know that it's not perspective). We an also see it at the end when the whole band is shown. So Mordekaiser is at least 12' tall. For Galio, I took the height of the nearby building, assuming it's a little over 10' since it's a one-story building and just measured how many buildings he was, which ends up coming at about 10.7.
