I kind of need the lyrics to this...

I kind of need to know, did you guys bring back the vocalist from the Diana login for this? The two of them sound rather similar to my ears.

Also something something apparently Ornn hangs out around the Howling Abyss.

When you say 'bring back' she's worked at Riot the whole time! Most recently on skins promo - I keep asking her to sing more for League, she is incredible.

KnalxzAug 6, 20173 votes

I don't really know why but find this bit to be very interesting. Probably because I always just assumed that Riot hired someone for a single thing then they bounced.

RiotKindlejackAug 6, 20176 votes

Yeah when I joined Riot I was surprised to find how much is done internally by Rioters with hidden talents. Pentakill began as a group of Rioters that just love metal and are incredibly talented musicians.

Malicious MetalAug 6, 20172 votes

Who doesn't love Metal anyways?

RiotKindlejackAug 6, 20172 votes

The launch of Pentakill II is making me realise that the answer is some people, which I find baffling.

Malicious MetalAug 7, 20172 votes

Well some people are clearly wrong in that regard.

I firmly believe that everyone likes metal. They just didn't find the right subgenre or artist yet.

We had the pleasure of working with a wonderful vocalist, Christine Hals, on this piece! Different than the Diana song, but both beautiful voices :)

LyingOnLineAug 6, 20172 votes

Thank you very much for the information, and good work on the piece!

You got me curious now, so I applied a 10 second google-search:

Report EvelynnAug 5, 201712 votes

OH BOY, WHO CARES ABOUT THE CHAMP WHEN WE KNOW THAT NOW, EVE IS NEAR

Xodiathe4bdn1Aug 5, 20176 votes

and if the vgu scedule remains consistent then we should see her next month and if we are really fortunate then maybe she could come out right after the release of ornn , like how they did Kayn and Urgot

SkelenthAug 5, 201711 votes

One does not simply see Evelynn

DeadUnbornAug 5, 20173 votes

with worlds coming up I doubt that, would be cool though

Lintu PuckAug 5, 20171 votes

actually from what I have heard Xin's mini-rework is after Ornn, and Eve wouldn't even show up till after Worlds anyway, so don't expect Eve to Shadowstep into teaser until late Fall, early Winter.

Xodiathe4bdn1Aug 5, 20171 votes

ive heard that yet ive yet to see any rioter confirmation on it which makes me skeptical for a number of reasons a) the next patch after worlds is 14 november which leaves september AND october without any new or vgu champion b) it takes six months to make a vgu champion and the last vgu the team currently working on eve did was on march not to mention evelynn has been stated to be less of a complete revamp and more of modernization so she shouldn't take long as long

and lastly if somebody can show any rioter statement where they say eve only comes out after worlds i will be mighty grateful( and a complete ass for righting this comment)

RiotReav3Aug 5, 20178 votes

We said Eve would be after the Worlds patch sometime, not after worlds. Worlds patch is 7.18

he is a fucking MOUNTAINSMITH

warpenguin555Aug 5, 20171 votes

Is he supposed to be a god?

SharjoAug 5, 201722 votes

The Freljordians certainly think he and his siblings are.

FasmodeyAug 5, 20171 votes

Is he human? And how powerful he is? Can you compare him to a watcher, or any champion?

SharjoAug 5, 201724 votes

He is DEFINETLY not a human. He's also very big. Very big.

He's also very, very powerful. Among the most powerful champions in the lore I'd say. There's of course the big "You must be this cosmic to sit with Aurelion Sol" bar to reach and Ornn's not quite there, I don't think there are many champions who could ever hope to contest Ornn one on one. There's at least one who could considering they have in the past, but those are tales best left to the story-tellers.

ShínyAug 5, 201717 votes

Can you stop? I know you're excited because you have insider knowledge , but you're just as bad as a leaker. Let Riot release him in their own way ok?

FasmodeyAug 5, 201710 votes

I think he is allowed to answer these questions, otherwise Riot would stop him before you.

So it is not your business to interfere him, it belongs to Riot. If you don't like, better don't read answers made by Sharjo beneath questions of potential spoilers.

I actually just had to bring the hammer down on Sharjo there. The hype is real, but the team has their own way of introducing us to Ornn, and Sharjo and I have to respect their methods.

Yep I'm overstepping so Bio's reeling me back. There'll be more to discuss with Ornn when there's a champion to actually see, but he's not here yet.

DeadUnbornAug 5, 20171 votes

You don't have a Riot emblem. How is it that you have knowledge on the champion. You used to work there or what?

MelledoneusAug 5, 20175 votes

He's a Loremaster. He works with Riot on the lore. He doesn't need a fancy name on the Boards to be awesome.

Poolparty SauronAug 5, 20173 votes

so sharjo is a rioter in all but name

Oh ok. Guess he is outsourced then. still working on lore for a game with such many themes as Lol most be fun

FasmodeyAug 5, 20174 votes

Ah, right. I think he creates even better hype but whatever. :p

Lady FacelessAug 5, 20174 votes

We didn't want to bring Sharjo in any troubles, but the most of us just get incredible hyped if we get new content.

Nethertheless, thanks for eveything you alread told us.

Oh he's not in any trouble at all - but it seems unfair that folks like he and I would get to hype people, when the people on the team who have been working so hard on Ornn, were looking forward to seeing your reactions when they reveal more info, are denied the chance to do so instead and in the right way.

I mean, it would have been kind of weaksauce if I'd been here yesterday and said "Oh man! There's gonna be a song and it sounds cool and it goes "laaa laa lalalaaa!" and there's a couple of verses and some paper in the background and it's great!" That's nowhere near as cool as actually hearing the song and seeing the teaser video. It's never going to compare :)

I'm not saying that's what Sharjo was doing - but it's a constant fight to make sure that we don't do that.

I'm ok being the bad guy here though - sorry.

All hype is good hype. ;)

I, for one, am HYPED TO 30 that everyone's talking Ornn and venturing guesses! The pod who made Ornn are INCREDIBLY stoked about this champion.

Go hypebonkers!

wonder what his kit's going to be like

SharjoAug 5, 201712 votes

Well he's a vanguard tank so take of that what you will.

Big LincolnAug 5, 20171 votes

given the vanguard update, and yknow the general pattern of 2017 champions

expectations are pretty low

SharjoAug 5, 20174 votes

General pattern?

Big LincolnAug 5, 20171 votes

i haven't found them to be very unique or innovative, just a bunch of weeby champs, with generalist kits with little gimmicks attached

last year had stuff like AurelionSol Jhin , year before that had Illaoi TahmKench , actual unique champions who i think are way more a part of league than kayn and the birds
