Reborn IS off to a very nice start. I'm hard to impress, but less is more and they've captured the essence here, that the IDEA of Sion might be bigger or more useful to Noxus than the man.

Really liking the idea that the creation of an undead general might originally have been more of a political move than a strategic one. I can ACTUALLY buy that! The common problem with the whole "robocop" premise is that incorporating the body of a character is an unnecessary complication... In a world where one could pragmatically make an unstoppable golem from scratch, there isn't a practical need to get the flesh of the fallen involved.

The ONLY reason to go to the trouble of reanimating someone is if there's some sort of emotional or psycological attachment to that corpse such that you get something special out of the marriage of science and cadaver, some reaction out of it that your standard construct wouldn't illicit.

Thanks so much, I hope you enjoyed the ride. I've enjoyed reading the theories and watching people piece together the story.

Shame there were some hiccups along the way, but I could have asked for this to turn out better.

Yeah. I'm not very happy with the current lore direction, but I do think that Reborn, so far, had a pretty rockin' beginning.

Fully agreed. THIS is how lore should be. This is on par with some of the great lore this game had in its past, and was presented in an awesome way.

I was largely disappointed by the Shurima event, and I'm not happy about the reasoning behind their removal of the IoW, so right now the lore team is very hit-or-miss to me with more misses than hits. Still, it's good to see that they can still pump out great content at times.
