Hey folks,

Check 'em out!

Stickying this thread as an easy central place for discussion that the Narrative and Foundations folks can hopefully also jump into. What's your take on the new story goodness?

many will lament that Rammus is "yet another misterious figure", but you know what? It's perfect on him. It' s ok.

So, I want to make a point about some of these stories. They're very enjoyable, but Riot's somewhat on a slippery slope when it comes to these stories.

Amumu and Rammus are two champions who occupy the "We don't really know what they are" brand of story and really ask the reader/player/etc to just make a guess. Now, in short order, these aren't bad. A little bit of mystery is always cool in a character or story, especially if they're one of the few that have this.

What I fear is that Riot will push this to a far harder degree and make way too many characters the "Who could this be or what could this be!?" sort of story. It's cool for a few characters but when it comes to the overarching game, I hope that Riot only gives this trope to a handful of characters at best. After all, if you're making everyone a "Take your best guess" character, might as well just let fan fiction make the lore. (An exaggeration but you get my point, hehe.)

Rammus's Story was more than

'ok' Rammus

Just great job! :O

All makes sense now....

"Knowing Rammus’s guidance can pave an enlightened path, devout believers perform elaborate rituals designed to attract the favor of their deity. Disciples of the cult devoted to Rammus demonstrate their unwavering faith in a yearly ceremony by imitating his famous roll and somersaulting through the city in droves."

Rammus

If Rammus is one to appear in times of need, shall he eventually roll over to Nashramae and destroy some ancient traitor? Alternatively, would he try to eat Rek'Sai if she crossed her path?

Also, Nagakabouros must really love him. He isn't in movement. He isn't the movement. He weaponized the movement.

So did Rammus hate being worshipped, since he destroyed the kid's statue of him?

Taliyah saw the same vision as Azir (but in another way). How would Taliyah confront Azir about this? And how will Azir answer? I really hope we'll see a confrontation between them.

Were the Great Weaver worshipped during ancient Shurima?

How long were Taliyah with Noxus since she was able to rise through their ranks and sent out to war?

Love the "Hawk-Father" title for Azir btw

So how does Rammus taunt people?

What constitutes an Armordillo's typical diet?

Does Rammus have a tail?
