Farmer with Shotgun has really been doing his time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Knalxz7 votes

Yes, after his crushing defeat by Raditz he's been in there for the last 11 years (or 4015 years if you count time chamber time) training up to return to the realm of mortals to get his revenge on the saiyan menace. His name was Graves, Malcolm Graves.

I went over this in another thread. Gragas' belly is an entity of such great mass / density that it warps Space-time, creating a void out of which not even light can escape.

It would only make sense that he is stronger than a guy who just makes stars or some crap.

I seriously hope future champs don't have this lore breaking "god like power and size" only to wind up just smaller than the turrets with maybe a fraction of their described power. Without a good reason, even something like "powerful summoners trapped him in a smaller body, with reduced his power in the process", this crap just hurts my sense of order. On the plus side, we now know who the strongest champ (lore wise) is.

Westonbirt7 votes

Yep, it really breaks the immersion. Xerath for me was already a bit of a stretch considering he's supposed to have near unlimited power, I feel the lore team is trolling us by saying "here's god".

And meanwhile Twitch is literally a very large rat.

Whoah there, man! No need to go spamming up the boards by copy/pasting his entire lore like that!

Quort5 votes

I find it hard to believe powerful Summoners would ever contain beings like Bard, Kindred, Aurelion Sol, Tahm Kench, etc... The retcon distorted some things but is also better in many ways.

In his lore he was tricked into servitude but, as far as we know, the IoW wasn't anywhere near Space Exploration so I doubt they could have done anything similar or wrested him away from those taking advantage of his power.

Blue Moon Wolf2 votes

I didn't mean for that to be literally what I'd hope for, just an example of what I would think as an acceptable reason as to why he's so small and doesn't just create a sun over the enemy's nexus to win. Obviously there would be plot holes, but I think some reason is better than none. Someone else just mentioned said the game Sol is the manifestation of his power into a mortal's body and honestly if that isn't the excuse Riot is using, it should be. Cause that would explain it easy.

Quort1 votes

Sol himself considers humanity to be utterly insignificant so I doubt he would choose to include himself in the Institute of War. If he can't be forced and he won't decide to cooperate with Summoners there's no reason for his inclusion at all. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the space-faring race was The Watchers as they have, at the very least, shown themselves capable of granting power and immortality and traveling vast distances.

I'm not trying to pick a fight, its just difficult to imagine various Champions joining or being controlled by the Institute. Even long existing Champions like Syndra, Evelynn, and Zilean... When they no longer have a reason to stay with the League, what then? How does the Institute manage such powerful beings that they don't even fully understand?

Perhaps the reason I resonate more with the retcon is because I play Brave Frontier. If you're unfamiliar with it, basically you, a Summoner, use your power to bring back the souls and bodies of past legends to serve you. These range from powerful and influential humans (Lily Matah, Zelnite, Krantz, etc...) to mythical beasts (Leorone, Exvehl, Kiravel, etc...) , machines (Duel SGX, Gildorf), and even gods (Klaus, Malbelle, Phee, etc...). Because of this, the League of Legends makes more sense to me as a literal League of Legends where myths and powerful figures battle each other.

It also fixes the issue of all League events existing in a single present. There's no progression in the lore. The lore will constantly need to be adapted as new Champions are created because, to exist in the League under the Institute of War, mortals like Caitlyn and Garen need to live in the same time as beings affected by temporal anomalies (Zilean, Lulu), immortal or near immortal beings (Lissandra, Kayle, Aatrox, Tahm Kench, etc...), undead/presumably undead beings (Karthus, Nautilus, Mordekaiser, etc...), concepts (Kindred), celestial beings (Aurelion Sol, Soraka, Bard), the Ascended who are said to be godlike (Azir, Renekton, Nasus, Xerath), and who even knows what else (Voidborn Champions, Evelynn, Maokai, Malphite). The stories can't continue, they only change as new characters are introduced. :/

Wait, why is that paragraph for graves specific to Aurelion Sol? That applies to literally every non-tank.

He also loses to Teemo, like others were saying. Though I suppose that makes all the Shin Megami Tensei players feel at home.

Eh... Not really? You don't really automatically align with Lucifer in every game. Hell, most games, the "good" path is flipping off both sides and just sticking with humanity.

This is what bothers me with this guy's theme. Tahm Kench has the excuse that "this isn't even my final form", it really breaks the character in my eyes. It's like if they created a champion who is "literally god" and then try fitting it in. At the very least, they could pull a Soraka and make him a fallen dragon or some shit.

CrazedPorcupine1 votes

His short lore is that he was enslaved by a super powerful space-fairing race.

Westonbirt3 votes

Great, now we have something even bigger to be bothered by.

Also, he still_ forges stars_.

Stars Shaper1 votes

It doesn't have to be more powerful, Aurelion probably entrusted some knowledge about cosmic magic to targonians and space-fairing empire and they used it to chain him somehow. It was his misjudged trust to make him fall rather than others being more powerful.

It's all speculation though.

They gotta be pretty clever to limit this guy to spinning around flaming basketballs only to get dropped by what is literally only a large rat.
