So as it turns out the Arcade universe has some Lore to it as well!

When we choose the champions for arcade we get together and talk about how we see them fitting into this world, and then depending on how the idea is shaping up make a decision about where they fit. Right now there are actually three sort of 'factions' within the Arcade theme; There's the Gamers that are jumping into these worlds (Tron style), the Natives of the game worlds (Wreck-it-Ralph style), and the rogue bosses jumping around causing havoc. Even then among those there are differences; Sona, MF and Riven form something of a holy gamer trinity; the goddesses of RGB destined to 'save the game' while Ahri and Ezreal are more rounded 'players' who have only just arrived in the game-verse. Another example is Veigar and Blitz, with Veigar being clearly on his own level - messing with the code at will, fully conscious of where he is and what he can do, while Blitzcrank charges around driven solely by a copy of Poro Roundup.

idk about you guys but having some lore to associate with these skins makes them all the more cool!

Now I'm entertaining the idea that Hecarim is a boss who ended up abandoning his side for the betterment of the videogame world, or was simply a part of his own game and was beckoned forth by Sona, MF and Riven to help the situation.

I could definitely see that. He is definitly an outlier when it comes to apperences compared to the others, it could stand to reason he used to be a boss. Maybe perhaps Sona MF and Riven beat him and he pledged to help thier cause.

Yeah I can see that.

Also I feel there's enough around now for me to chronicle some proper AU skin lore. I'm both conflicted and hyped!

I am just waiting for rammus to get an Arcade skin. He could be blue... and wear sneakers.

Watch Wreck-it Ralph. Veigar is doing the same thing that the main villain is in that movie.

I hope that Arcade line of skins gets more villains, 'cause right now it's pretty much only Blitz and Veigar against everybody else.

Yea its based off of Cloud from FF7. Corki is getting one based off of Galaga and etc with ships and Ahri.. Well.. Its a gamer girl? That's the best way to put it.

cloud would be better suited for ekko than ezreal though imo

Yeah, in my eyes, he looks a LOT more like Neku Sakuraba from "The World Ends With You". I'm honestly excited for the skin. :3

LeadedWolf1 votes

Oh sense KH I have been wondering what game he was in! Thanks! And yea he looks super close to him! Maybe they got an idea from both him and Cloud. Who knows?

LeadedWolf1 votes

Well they gave Ekko the new project skin and that was a big upgrade. I still would think that Ez would make a good Cloud wanna be. They are both whiny and kind of look close even with the skin he looks almost spot on. But Ekko I couldn't see as Cloud he just doesn't have the look nor the attitude. (Not saying that because he is black but because EZ looks more like cloud in the whole aspect.)
