A hulking beast of a Man!
Stepping out of a f*cking forge!
Sauron vibes!
Extreme Metal shredding!
Holy f*ck, I can't form coherent thoughts right now but this is just perfect!
Also, this was a really nice touch and I'll be surprised if this wasn't an actual reference: https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/33662976/sauronmorde.jpg
RiotBioluminescence48 votesWhen I saw this the first time, you were the first person to come to mind, Malicious. I really hoped you'd like how he was (though I wasn't involved in making the video at all). I think he looks awesome, and the moment when he and Yorick are back to back is my second favorite moment (3:30).
I kind of want that little guitar playing yordle to be their official opening act though.
Big Lincoln8 votesmord confirmed to be a big guy?
Shadowkirby149 votesMake that banjo-playing Yordle the next new champion!
Malicious Metal30 votesLike? I L O V E it!
And it's not only Mordekaiser that's bloody awesome in this video, every Band member was nailed down perfectly, every introduction fitting them to a tee.
There were a ton of epic moments and I couldn't really tell which one I'd be able to deem my "favorite". Morde's entire entrance was, and excuse my swearing, METAL AS FUCK.
But what really sold it was them actually performing as a BAND. With Sona using her Aura to accelerate Morde's Shredding and both him and Yorick serving as the backbone of the heavy riff that makes Mortal Reminder really stand out as one of their best songs.
Honestly, I can't put a lot of my Hype in words but this is the kind of stuff that really shows that League of Legends is more than a game for a lot of people. The amount of detail and effort that went into making this is astoundishing!
SociopathFriend5 votes@MM On a scale of 1 - Metallic Mega-love how much more do you like Morde in this video compared to his previous cinematic where he gets oneshot by Teemo?
Malicious Metal21 votesI rate it a Metallic Maddening Monster Magnificent Mega-Love.
Yes, that's Penta M
Variks the Loyal45 votesThey nailed all of them, imo.
Even Sona and Olaf, who've I've always been a bit awkward about since they aren't Shadow Isles champs, were depicted fantastically, with Sona as a spirit coming out of the old piano and Olaf bashing boulders everywhere.
And Kayle gets bonus points for kicking Teemo despite not singing.
Solari Fortune17 votesI feel there is potential Riot does another one of these featuring Kayle as the Singer
INoble KnightI6 votesBack up vocals?
Solari Fortune12 votesI see Kayle as the Female Singer of the band and prob when not singing prob runs stage security for them (Hence Kicking Teemo in the face)
Xonra3 voteshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btSlfXILTkU
funny you should say that :P
Xonra3 votesThere is a song with a female lead vocal on their new album. That is supposed to be Kayle

agrees.
Velzard of Koz11 votesUse this trick to get huge with dark magic!!! You won't believe it!!! Click here, now!
Pôro9 votesYordles hate him!
Mordepool16 votesLore Team understands Mordekaiser even if the Balance team does not
Hella Kaiser3 votesBalance/Rework team: "Mordekaiser is a huge piece of metal... You know what i think when i think of metal? Magnets!!! --> add strange w interactions. As time goes on he gets rusty because he is made of metal... How do we translate that to the game? --> add bugs and glitches. He should shred through armies of enemies. --> make q single target. He has a tough time sticking to targets. How could we help him? --> make q a 3 hit spell and give ms on w when moving towards a Wd ally."
I think that they understand him pretty well.
StoryDuck10 votesSo....confirmed Bandle city destroyed by most epic rock concert of all time.
Almighty9 votesI want to know one thing.
Did you ejaculate all over your monitor?
[slayer-jinx-wink]
Almighty.
Malicious Metal20 votes... Something more Metal.
Fasmodey7 votesThis is hot. _ Literally._
TheFancySkeleton15 votesI'm atleast 63% sure that that's just gonorrhea.
Invexes3 votesLOL deathklok was exactly what came to mind with all the erratic destruction in bandle city [(https://youtu.be/VFURd_EOIuU)]
Little Starshine9 votesI envy you, Malicious. You got so much fanservice for your favorite champion!
Meanwhile Syndra has not a single video or even big story...
Riot, pls.
SociopathFriend1 votesI would assume that's the ultimate endgame goal for Riot's lore team- something for everyone.
Nautilus showing up in a New Dawn made my day back when it happened- finally my favorite titan got more than the brief snippet of lore in the Black Mist to give him something, anything, showing his slow and indomitable strides.
Even if it's not a video, everyone deserves a mention as a living, breathing, champion- not just a bio written and be done with it.

I may regret mentioning this; I think I already am, but we released a very small, super short, VR scene for a China pop-up exhibition a couple of months ago, that showed Zyra and Nautilus in a frozen moment of time. They were battling, and because it was in VR (roomscale) you could get a good sense of the real scale of Naut. We tried out a lot of different champs, but as soon as anyone saw Naut, and had to tilt their head waaaay back to look up at him, we all knew he had to be in the scene.
I don't think it's running any more (it was a brief thing that toured a couple of Chinese cities) but it's possible that we can repackage it into something more easily distributed in the future. We'll have to see!
RizHippoKhan9 voteswhy not make like a graph that compares different champions to average male adult height? like the charts that compare blue whales to humans or dinosaurs to humans or dinosaurs to other dinosaurs?
Corrupt Bliss7 votesWAT.
I'll do anything to try this out.
Take my first born child.
Take my child's first blood (they'll probably be a Yasuo main).
Take my final promo match.
GIVE ME NAUTILUS VR <3

SettDownShutUp2 votesCould it be something we see on youtube's 360 mode?
RiotBioluminescence5 votesCould it be something we see on youtube's 360 mode?
Maybe - it's something we've discussed trying to export.
RiotLeaoC9 votesIf you're happy, I'm happy
Malicious Metal7 votesI'm happy You're happy All the other fans are happy Mordekaiser is happy and so is the rest of Pentakill
The only unhappy person right now is Teemo who's recovering from being kicked in his oh so punchable furry face.
RiotLeaoC7 votes\m/
Poolparty Sauron7 votesBut but Morde fire cape where?
Hella Kaiser1 votesWhat fire cape? In the Pentakill skin he has long hair instead of the cape.
Arsenic Sulfur2 votes...Said hair is also absent from his model in that video.
Thefrostyviking6 votesQuestion is though, is it morde that is huge or is the the yordles that are really small?
Or both?
And i only noticed now but when kayle appears she kicks teemo in the face O_O
I shall forever endorse anything about buffs and updates to kayle from now on, and i shall always downvote any request to have her nerfed.
I will probably buy the skin too.
Lintu Puck5 votesboth Yordles are small, like Ewoks from Star Wars While ol' Morde (at least PentaKill version) is MASSIVE.
Chembaron Yamada5 votesIf they don't make a Pentakill Urgot skin in the future, coming with a music video like this, I will be salty af.
Hella Kaiser6 votesI would see urgot as a good drummer. Sextuple bass drum...
But nobody can beat Olaf, so...
Buttèred Biscuit3 votesMordekaiser stepping through the portal just sent chills down my spine, hell every time I watch it it gives me chills. The goddamn video gave me chills with Karthus looking like a badass, Yorick tappin his bass, Sona rising from the piano, Olaf being Olaf, and Teemo getting slobber knocked across Runeterra. Just holy f**** rito, I love it.
Melledoneus3 votesNow imagine if we got a Pentakill Shen.
Spirit Metal is a genre, you know.
SociopathFriend1 votesSpeaking of that video- we see an armorer Yordle and next champion is supposed to be an armorer... implications and insinuations and speculations...
DarkRitual12 votesPretty sure it's Blacksmith Poppy.
SociopathFriend2 votesOdd. All the other Yordles looked normal.
kagepaladin3 votesthe next champion is a frejlordian, a rioter said the next champion will be heating up the north and I think that was the only way to fit poppy into the video the only yordle's/megling's that aren't in the video is lulu who lives in her own enchanted grove of sorts. heimerdinger who I believe sticks in or around piltover and ziggs is in the same general area too. no clue where viegar hangs out at. corki was also mia which is weird so a fair bit of yordle's that are still able to leave/enter bandle city weren't their.
