Problems with Ziggs & Jinx comic

Penta Penguin··2 votes·504 views

Finally read it and I have to say - as a huge Ziggs and Jinx fan - this is awful.

First of all Ziggs' Bio completely contradicts the comic,

"Word of Ziggs' volatile experimentation reached the famed Yordle Academy in Piltover and its esteemed professors invited him to demonstrate his craft."

Yordles are well known and appreciated in Piltover... but the comic portrays them as hated and feared.

Ziggs is also supposed to be a hero as he saved Heimerdinger and other yordles from being captured by ZAUNITES. In the comic he literally allies with Jinx, destroys a bunch of shit around Piltover, then runs away with her to Zaun after she tells him how great a place it is.

Uhh what? It just keeps going

Ziggs and Heimer are working in some low-down shop in the comic. They're supposed to be pretty big deals at the Yordle University.

Jinx cares about killing people

etc.

What the actual hell happened with this comic?

Yordle lore in general is mostly outdated, Ziggs included, Riot have been hinting at new lore at some point and I think this was the first step (although it's taking a while). Ziggs for example is no longer a Piltover Champion but a Zaun one because of this comic.

that is bullshit.

Which bit? The last Zaun statement? (because the rest is speculation so could well be). https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_GB/region/zaun/ List of champs include Ziggs.

Honestly? I think it's just lore Riot didn't have the time to change. AGAIN.

I really think Riot should but a indicator about outdated lore so people would stop being confused.

Its much more likely that Narrative will take the opportunity with Zaun's inevitable 2nd lore event, so they can complete what they started with Singed, Twitch and now should do with Ziggs. Hopefully and fingers crossed that can happen sometime in the near future. As Ziggs profile page IS a source of contradicting content, they must have known this will be an issue while working on the comic, and a plan to fix that should be encouraged.

Although the pessimist in me thinks we'll have to wait for a Mundo rework before Zaun's LU is complete.

Honestly neither the Void or Yordle seem to have their art asset complete yet so they might take a while. Also I'm pretty sure the next big lore update is Noxus unless riot sneak one through before that.

The said that the next champion update after Evelynn would be Swain , so, probably.

Not sure what any of that has to do with what I said?

Neither Yordle nor Void lore updating will have any bearing on Ziggs, now especially that he's placed along side Zaun.

And Im fully aware whose next on the rework schedule, but no clue as to its relevance with Ziggs.

They might be esteemed among fellow enlightened scholars. Your average pigfarmer will still shoot them with a shotgun because they make the rain go away.
