yeah, not a fan of "oh the isolationist people made EVERYTHING ARENT THEY SPECIAL" schtick. bet this crap gets changed VERY quickly
other than that Mary sue crap, they seem interesting, focus on the elemental powers and lifestlye, not having a hand in everything (especially targon, like what the hell).
real interesting that malphite is there, cant wait to see his new role. and I dont care if people think he may be "jungle galio". if he IS a guardian, I bet it will be executed way differently than the ever still magic absorbing galio (seriously, counterparts exist, such as Darius and garen)
EDIT: seriously, it's such a low blow to make Ascention, a uniquely shuriman ritual, into something they basically stole
I find it really bogus that even Targon originates form them and that even the Ascended are actually their work to begin with.
It's so much Mary Sue of a nation that makes me want Morde lore to actually take place and bring them all in the Shadow Realm. Lets see which elemnts they find to command there.
He gazed around the room at the corpses and whispered a verse in the unspoken tongue of the dead.
Erbaumlicher Kampf Freigesetzt vom Fleisch Du gehorst mir
There you go. Though my German Ochnun is rusty.
Champions of Ixtal.... Malphite? The rest just live in the jungle don't they. So, they are changing Kumungo's name?
Not fused on the idea anyone but Shurima developed Ascension you know, it seems Shurima, the once great empire, didn't do anything for themselves.
A massive cliffhanger.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Even though Qiyana is arrogant I hate her family more. They are cruel unfair and unloving and never respect her. Its their fault she became so aggressive. She was driven to it to seek their respect. I already hate that whole family.
Did I miss something or somehow no one for thousands of years noticed giant well-polsihed temples in the jungles? I'm confused.
So the Ruination happened before even the Rune Wars, damn. That makes Yorick even older than Ryze.
Malphite finally has a place! I was sure he'd be a Targon champ.
Didn't Azir also have nine older siblings? checks okay, a number is never given, but an interesting parallel nonetheless.
Morde remains metal and terrifying.
Seems I was right about piltover being the main enemy of Qiyana. Now, I don't understand what malphite has to do with ixtal. I guess we will have to wait and see about his lore.
I see that Malphite is connected with Ixtal. Mark my words: "He will be turned into Great Elemental protector of this area, maybe servant of Qiyana. Basically he will be a Ixtalian Galio."
This symbol is familiar to me. Is it placeholder?

EDIT: Yop, it's the Runeterra symbol
Morde's story was epic. I am more excited for this vgu than any other champion. Morde is the first champion I ever played. Warwick and Galio vgu come in second place for me followed by Swain and the others.
Qiyana's story reminds me so much of Fiora's.
They're both younger siblings with great talent and end up beating people up to their way to inheritance. They're both cock/arrogant as a result of their talent. And they both want to inherit their family's claims. There's some minor differences here and there but Qiyana is basically Fiora in the Jungle.
