I think you just made a new meme.

A Superb VillainJul 21, 201619 votes

The memes flow through me just as evil does.

WheatloafJul 21, 20167 votes

Yes, let the memes flow through you...

RalanrJul 21, 201613 votes

A mounted Yordle with a gun that looks like it becomes a bayoneted rifle.

Glorious.

A Superb VillainJul 21, 201614 votes

Not to mention our first officially Noxus-affiliated Yordle.

RalanrJul 21, 201616 votes

Though I'm confused on that part, because he seems to be fighting noxians.

Is Noxus in the midst of a civil war?

LordHippomanJul 21, 201614 votes

Oh man, a Noxian Civil War would be a rad as hell storyline. I could see Kat betraying Swain, she knows he's kind of a slimeball (and probably killed her dad).

Riven could also probably achieve something similar. I just really like that idea. Plus, anything with more Swain is good, IMO.

SpecterVonBarenJul 21, 20167 votes

Eh, Swain's no more of a slimeball than any other Noxian.

A Superb VillainJul 21, 201610 votes

By old Noxian standards he is a slimeball because he relies on deceit rather than strength.

Tactically, I mean. Personally he is quite strong, but then again, transforming into a demonic raven could be argued as "borrowing" strength rather than relying on your own.

TractJul 21, 20162 votes

Meanwhile the true slime ball bros Draven and Darius fly under the radar......

Meep ManJul 21, 201615 votes

Darius is quite literally the definition of Noxian glory.

Void NargacugaJul 21, 201625 votes

I find it cool that he has a Spear AND a Handgun as a sidearm!

Random slightly relevant history tidbit. During the early modern period where guns were becoming dominant and knights were still a thing there was a type of soldier called a reiter who was basically an armored cavalryman that would either charge up to the enemy lines and fire at them with a pistol or short arquebus or charge with a lance depending on the situation.

Looks like Kled is like that. Or maybe a hussar considering how lightly armored he is.

Void NargacugaJul 21, 201616 votes

Awesome! And thanks for the history lesson! That is something they don't tell you about in school.

Now I'm really curious about what his kit will do. Also... FUCK YEAH ANOTHER YORDLE!

RalanrJul 21, 201625 votes

I was kinda hoping for a female yordle, but I don't mind.

Sweet! Another mounted champion!

Void NargacugaJul 21, 201616 votes

This guy is Noxian... I think that makes up for it as well. That tells us he must be some sort of badass.

RalanrJul 21, 201615 votes

All Yordles are badass. Even Rumble.

Void NargacugaJul 21, 20169 votes

Touche. Very good point there. I love Rumble, he is so much fun.

But, he is a Noxian Badass and I think that puts him on a special level of Badass.

CasterGilgameshJul 21, 201616 votes

omg you know whats up http://sd.keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk/i/keep-calm-and-blood-for-noxus-2.png

NOXUS IS GOING TO WAR!!! A HYPE WAR!!!

GET ON THE HYPE TRAIN!!!!

RiotRiotJaredanJul 21, 201631 votes

Oh, he's a badass alright.

Void NargacugaJul 21, 20165 votes

Just how badass are we talking here? Or is it on the scale of Borderlands level of Badassery?

AninLegions777Jul 21, 201616 votes

What blasphemy is this?! Borderlands levels of Badassery are unachievable by any other game.

Void NargacugaJul 21, 20168 votes

I would agree with you... But If anyone can, its going to be a Noxian Yordle who charges headfirst into such an army for his own mount, and still kills said army for trespassing.

Blood MagicksJul 21, 20168 votes

Jarebabe,

Noxus event when?

RiotRiotJaredanJul 21, 201613 votes

Not for the time being, sorry.

EmbertineJul 21, 201612 votes

How about Demacia? I would love some new Shyvana lore!

UomoAfideJul 21, 201618 votes

I absolutely love in the video how fleshed out the Noxian army looks: grenades, crossobows and kickass roman empire look-alike armors.

RalanrJul 21, 20167 votes

Though this brings up a good point, why are they fighting the Noxus army? Isn't Kled allied with Noxus?

RiotWhrenJul 21, 201618 votes

Kled does say they're trespassing. That could be why. :D

BrutusnessJul 21, 20164 votes

But what is the mount's name? Does he have one?

Toa InnodenceJul 21, 20165 votes

I've heard from reddit and twitter that it's "Skaarl" or something of the sort.

RiotWhrenJul 21, 201623 votes

Ahhhh I'm so glad you noticed that! <3

Void NargacugaJul 21, 20166 votes

Okay now this is getting even more interesting... WHAT IS GOING ON!? [zombie-brand-mindblown]

RalanrJul 21, 201613 votes

People trespassing apparently.

Void NargacugaJul 21, 20165 votes

He skewered that guy though.

Solari FortuneJul 21, 201615 votes

Cause he trespassed

TheSlogsJul 21, 20169 votes

Noxians don't fuck around with trespassing.

UomoAfideJul 21, 20164 votes

Good thing you took the Bard's teaser "Mountain" style for Noxians and explored it more. Now we have a nice view of the common soldier from both Demacia (Poppy's base splashart) and Noxus as well.

RiotWhrenJul 21, 201612 votes

Good catch! Yeah, both the Noxians from the Bard promo and this one were informed with the work Foundations has been doing, to hopefully have a level of cohesiveness and continuity.

SharjoJul 21, 20162 votes

Any insight on to the material used in all that armour and weaponry? It all looks like it's made of the same black metal, and I'm inclined to believe the Noxtoraa that've been mentioned before are also made of this metal.

RiotWhrenJul 21, 20165 votes

Well, the Noxtoraa are made of stone, while the weapons are metal -- imo, the similar visuals (aside from being a strong thematic) are probably a combination of the natural materials found in the region and also Noxians just not bothering to refine/clean their metals much.

UomoAfideJul 21, 20164 votes

lore overload Damn, stop making me drool all over the place Whren D:

VoidacJul 21, 201610 votes

I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR A GOOD SOLID LOOK AT WHAT MODERN MILITARY INFANTRYMEN LOOK LIKE IN VALORAN.

We got Noxus, and I assume Demacia is similarly tooled, but with more... Demacia.

RalanrJul 21, 20164 votes

So blue and shiny?

RiotWhrenJul 21, 201617 votes

Yeah! It's subtle, but since SKShish Renzie pointed it out -- having grenades and crossbows was a conscious choice as part of the Noxian army, the thematic being that Noxians have less qualms using such methods of firepower and are happy to explore individual weapon preferences. Their fighting style is likely to be different than Demacia as well, being that their army is structured differently. Noxian armor for instance is quite modular in theme like in the video, being that each soldier tends to customize their kit based on what they're good at or prefer.

XIII VanitasJul 21, 20161 votes

Shouldn't the Noxian soldier with a crossbow wear lighter armor? Or is he not specialized in archery and that just happened to be the weapon he used in that particular moment?

Warlord DienekesJul 22, 20166 votes

Common misconception unless your armor is getting in the way of your arm movement there is no reason not to wear armor when you're an archer. And since arm movement is less important for crossbow than a longbow he can definitely be a focused archer.

The big reason the bowman aren't perceived to have been armored in medieval combat was because armor is expensive and was not provided for the soldiers. They had to bring what they had which was usually some cloth armor like a gambeson or something. But we have paintings clearly displaying archers and crossbow men wearing as heavy an armor as any other infantry. If they could afford it, of course.
