Is the new animation video canon?

Hextech OwI··4 votes·681 views

It would mean that at some point:

Xerath knows of Taliyah and sees her as a potential threat to him, thus tries to eliminate her. (Xerath/Taliyah lore update?)

Ekko and Blitzcrank somehow becomes allies. (New Blitz lore update? It would make more sense than a robot becoming sentient and opening a love-finding agency...) ######(Also the Blitz model is sick af update please rito)

When does the sequences chronogically happens?

Historically speaking, hype trailers like these are not canon. I would assume this is also not canon.

Historically speaking, hype trailers like these are not canon.

True, however none of the ancient trailers are correlating with the new lore.

Graves, Rengar, Leona, Jax and Ahri teaming up against Darius, Draven, Katarina, Zyra andNautilus makes no sense, as they don't know each other and all live in different places in the world (except Darius, Draven and Katarina but still, lore-wise it doesn't match).

The old trailers took place in the Summoner Rift and the Crystal Scar, which also aren't canon anymore (at least in the fighting arena context).

This time, all the sequences are events that can potentially happen and that match the lore.

Yasuo is actively searched and hunted for being the potential murderer of a Ionian Ancient. Seeing an army fighting him seems logic since he somehow is a national scale criminal.

Taliyah fighting Xerath may happen since both have powers and live in Shurima.

Ekko is known for making trouble in Zaun, and since Blitz's lore is not updated yet, anything could happen between them.

Mf is enemy with GP, and since GP and Illaoi have a known relationship, they may both be allies, leading Illaoi to fight MF (even if, let's be honest, MF doesn't stand a chance against her).

Lucian is searching Thresh to kill him and free Sena (or at least her soul), so a confrontation like this will happen at some point.

So I think we can assume that these MAY be canon (until denied by Riot).

I think Illaoi is just testing her

Blitzcrank lore was update with the Zaun update early 2017. He is just a nice guy who tries to help Ekko.

Mf is enemy with GP, and since GP and Illaoi have a known relationship, they may both be allies, leading Illaoi to fight MF (even if, let's be honest, MF doesn't stand a chance against her).

While Illaoi does help GP, she has no interesting killing MF. She thinks MF has a role to fullfill and currently sees her as candidate which she will put under the Trial of the Kraken.

Lucian is searching Thresh to kill him and free Sena (or at least her soul), so a confrontation like this will happen at some point.

Elise came to the Shadow Isle and more or less survived it, Yorick finds a human in his color story as well. Human can enter the Shadow Isle and survive it, but it is pretty unlikely since the undead would come and kill them.

It's just a lore heavy rule of cool, if that makes sense.

blitz pulling and ulting a minion is as canon as it gets according to my experience with blitzcrank players

I have the same question, mainly because Lucian:

If he is fighting in the Shadow Isles, with the information that we have, he would die there like everyone else. If he is not there... Where?

The rest of the escenes make sense in the lore... but the one of Lucian...

In Bilgewater maybe? During a black mist attack?

If he is in the Shadow Isles it means that he somehow found a way to get protected. Also, notice how he literally teleports rather than dashing, it look more like pure magic than hextech (as his guns are supposed to be).

It doesnt look like Bilgewater to me... Maybe Targon since the pillars of the place where Thresh is reminds me to Greek/Roman buildings

And no, The Guns of Lucian arent Hextech, they are magical stones that were shaped as pistols... but arent actually hextech pistols.

Well it means in that caae that his guns protect them from the Shafow Isles.

If you look closer, Lucian actually does dash

Its the Trial of the Kraken, she is not trying to kill her, Illaoi is helping* her.

Speaking of Taliyah, the video is not far from what her canon already is. In her lore, Xerath tried to destroy a city, but Taliyah saved its inhabitants by encasing them in stone spheres. In the video, she blocks his bolts with woven stone.

Isn't blitz friendly to everyone expect criminals?
