Which Champion Themes should I feature next?
Fiddlesticks is a good one if you haven't done so already
Renata if you want to
Could you do Kindred theme pleassseeeee? It's a bit like Jhin, but more delicate, gentle and still got that eerie vibes that reflect the champion really well (really almost every lol players love their theme). I would also recommend: Nilah, the joy unbound (heavily Indiann-influenced), Gwen, the hallowed seamstress; Viego, the Ruined King (the last 2 have heavy use of strings and you should react them back to back as they have "connection" musically wise, and it would be fun if you can find out what connection that is). Thank you so much for this vid!!
Gwen's theme is amazing (Rell also)
how about tahm kench and kled's if you havent done them yet pls
"His gun shoots 5 bullets at a time"
😮 Jhin would never, it's a herecy
True
Think there was like 10ish months in 2016 after jhin was released where pink wards had 5 hp, requiring all 4 shots and a reload + an extra shot to kill......
4
@@DominikPrusInfernumMode Took the bait.
@@DominikPrusInfernumMode Four the record, Overanalyzing things like that is kinda Useless imo. even if you're Right.
"Jhins main weapon is also a gun that only shoots 5 bullets at a time"
*Jhin mains triggered*
More like, Jhin mains giving me comment engagement statistics.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial The reason they are triggered is because Jhin has a compulsion with the number 4. His gun has 4 bullets, he fires a grenade that bounces 4 times. His whole theme is centred around the number 4.
@@yammoto148 Yup. Comment statistics, the bait is super effective.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial Truly, a Master Baiter
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial genius
jhin gun and his ultimate holds 4 shots*, jhin is obsessed with number 4, and this is vital part of his theme, hearing 4 shots/reloads at the start, and yes, everything about jhin is perfect, for a reason he is often said he is the perfect champion, in terms of design
also if you type jhin on your keyboard the order in which you press the buttons looks like a 4
which is mind blowing af to me lol
Do not forget that his music is in 4 parts: the chase, the shot, the death, the beauty.
FOUR
He is perfect.
@@MrAchsas WHY DIDNT I NOTICE!?
The strings in Jhin's theme sound so beautifully somber to me. It gives me visions of an actor performing for an audience of one: himself.
He even says in one of the lines that the only thing he consumes is himself, as if he only listens to his own creations. Genius
Fun fact you can hear in 4:17 Aatrox's theme kicking in. In the lore, this is where Aatrox slays Pantheon, but he is resurrected just as when all hope is lost. Which is the amazing pause in 4:55 where he returns to fight Aatrox.
Gigachad Atreus, withstanding the God Killer's blow unlike the Virgin Pantheon.
@@cronqvist5763 real haha
@@cronqvist5763 "The heavens do not fear me because I am a god, they fear me because I am a man!"
@@yetitheyeti "We are what we overcome."
Jhin is a masterpiece.
And here's a fun fact : if Jhin has the "Collector" item and execute someone with its effect, instead of the usual "9999" being written, a "4444" is acually shown.
(a great touch knowing his obssession with the number 4)
It just got added last season and it's so great😂
The 5 bullet bait was crazy lmao
Hook, line and sinker.
FYI Pantheon's theme is structured around his own story, the story of a man, Atreus, unworthy of the Pantheon war aspect (kinda his tribe's gods that can incarnatre themselves in chosen ones) but who got chosen and possessed by need, fell against a monster that slayed the Pantheon aspect forever and the rise of Atreus refusing his destiny and rising as a man, forcing his dead god that denied him to give him power through his will to live. You've got the first part with singing representing Atreus lookig for his god, then the Epic without singing representing Pantheon only, a metal part representing the foe winning coupled with hopeless singing from Atreus seeing his god dying and him at the same time then a silence and the rise of both the Epic and the voice representing the Man dominating his own destiny
Damn. Couldn't of said it better.
You forgot one thing. It wasn't any monster, nor any enemy it was THE ENEMY. Aatrox itself killed Pantheon. Man, I love Pantheon's story so much
🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am a massive fan of League's champion themes and I am ecstatic that you're checking them out! Would happily watch more of these.
I agree
i also agree, would 100% love to see more
U look like taric
i'm about to say it too. xD
You also unlikable
Lol.
“Well aren’t you the god everyone *used* to like”
-Pantheon
Only the hair color don't match lol
6:28 Yes, Piltover and Zaun are the closest to Earth-like in the different areas of Runeterra, as there's Noxus and Demacia, wich have a more medieval esthetic and culture, up north is the Freljord, which is ruled by viking-like tribes, and the Frost guard, which have their own special looks, south to Piltover and Zaun is Shurima, a vast desert which houses some of the oldest empires in Runeterra, and there's so much more, which i can't even imagine how they plan to include in Arcane, now that Arcane is canon
9:04 why my mind instead of hearing genius, i heard Jhin-ius.
To see how far LoL's lore goes right now:
-Pantheon is a man who ascended into a god that possessed and imprisoned him, only for the god to die at the blade of Aatrox. However, although it pierced enough to cease the god's life, it wasn't enough to defeat the man's sheer will, as for he has fallen countless times throughout his journey, he always stood up back. Now he seeks to confront the gods themselves who imprisoned him, as well as any threat who tried to kill him and his own kind, as the Unbreakable Spear of mankind.
-Jhin is both a serial killer and a talented artist. Not much is known of his own personal life, as for he's more known for the paintings he left within his victims. So in a way, he's the Virtuoso he thinks he is.
-Aatrox had it rough. Don't know if he became first a god or a general, but after becoming both he was corrupted by a certain war, and now he and other survivors of that fight became corrupted, sick of the immortality they had and the pain and horrors they have to endure for the rest of eternity; those were called the Darkin. Then, they tried to unleash oblivion on everything, which the non-corrupted gods liked at all, and one of them ended up sealing them into different weapons, only for them to come once more at the single touch of a fool's hand.
About aatrox. Bud just wanna die sadly he cant because of blood magic and the weapon (he is the sword) cant be destroyed easily. The same magic that they use to win the war against the void. But things started to fall off one by one after the war. They got PTSD, Lost their Emperor to a betrayal, and a certain someone in their ranks started controlling them which marks the great darkin war. Then a celestial sealed them on weapons using the moon so jump to present someone someone touched the greatsword of aatrox.
the gong in aatrox's theme also represents aatrox himself. its always there throughout the song even when the song quiets, because he cant be killed, only trapped in the blade temporarily.
Not gonna lie, his violin take on the Pantheon theme was a banger😮
every single jhin player: five?!?! thats offensive

Ngl I screamed when he said 5😂
@@darianhirad2567 Got them all to add to my comment statistics
Pantheon's song makes me tear a little to be honest, the voice just really hits for me, the humanity on it, the strenght
Really appreciate how u always change the figures youve got in the background to fit whatever game's ost youre reacting to
Oh definitely do more of these
Which ones do you like to see?
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial I think you would enjoy Volibear, Irelia, Warwick and a very fun one Kled. Tbh though, reacting to them all eventually would be awesome
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial Aphelios theme is great, ornn and braum as well
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficialI would love Kayn
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial Galio's, Neeko's and Zac's themes ard awesome
jhin is obsessed with the number 4 amazing theme and one of my favorite league champs to play
some of my other favorite instrumentals are diana, aphelios and senna (actually i love so many themes i cant think of them all atm xD)
riot games has an entire orchestra in their music production team btw
My recomendations: Pyke theme, Fiddlesticks theme, Volibear theme, Swain theme, Lissandra theme (aka The Freljord theme)
Bard theme goes hard too
Lissandra Theme is incredible
he already did both fiddle and voli
Fun fact: Music and Cinematics have always been Riot's only positive points...
I wouldn't say that. They've made a cool lore universe as well (although I wish they'd push the lore more), so cool in fact that my friends and I have been running a D&D campaign in it for years now.
Their character design has also vastly improved from the older days (although it can still be patchy at times). They're able to consistently make champions that are interesting, memorable and detailed, and in cases where they've made characters that were flat and bland for the sake of monetisation (looking at you Seraphine) they've shown that they're capable of updating them to become something much better (like the LoR version of Seraphine).
There's also Arcane, which I would call a lot more than just a 'cinematic': the fact that they were able to make such a phenomenal show working with Fortiche really goes to show the potential League has as a multimedia franchise.
Then, there's Riot's willingness to experiment with different game genres: although LoR is dropping off a little these days, they've got other Runeterra-themed projects in the works including 2XKO, a top-down action game and, in the farther future, the big one, the Runeterra MMO.
Don't let your perceptions of League specifically colour all of the good work that Riot has done. Balance and community issues for ONE GAME (albeit their biggest one) shouldn't be all that you take into consideration here.
Dont forget lore
they dont even do their own cinematics tho so only things they are good at are music and ui design.
@@Stolanis even though i respect your opinion, you must be delusional if their character design has gotten any better. i personally think its gotten way worse and uninteresting, even tho they are trying so hard to make them different and interesting. and lore wise, probably just an item description in elden ring has more depth than what riot has been able to deliver in a year. squeezing in some little stupid fun facts to loading screens isn't building lore and a world. lastly among other games they've made, only valorant has somewhat has been able to build some community. and their mmo, which was the only promising game other than lol, if i heard correctly, lost multiple game directors and is currently on hold.
15:48, that was a sick small cover you did I would love to hear a full ver., such a small touch but it goes so well
So glad you got around to more league themes! You've gotten some good recommendations already, but don't be afraid to check out the cinematics as well. 2018's "Rise", 2022's "The Call", and last January's "Still Here" are three of the most cathartic experiences I've had.
I love how much pantheon's song is like a summary his entire backstory. The first act is Atreus' possession, with the vocals fading while the brass takes over, the second act is him helplessly watching the god using his body to fight demons, with the final act being him finally being freed. The brass is still there but the vocals take over representing that he is in control of the god's power now.
The music themes of :
A man free from gods.
A self indulgent madman.
A wandering calamity.
I would love to see more if these, Riotgames has an incredible music team.
As for next i would say probably the themes of Poppy and Galio together, as they are mirrors of the same theme and a great way to show how melody and tone in music can be used to convey different feelings
I know that Aatrox's lore took a while to be properly fleshed out, but I would have REALLY liked it if his music captured even a little bit of the tragedy and despair of Aatrox's story. Yes, he's violent and massively destructive, but all of that is in service of a single purpose: *he wants to die.* His existence won't let him end his suffering and he hopes that destroying everything will finally let him rest in oblivion. That doesn't come across in his music, which is just scary and angry.
Not to mention, he has friends and allies in his fellow Darkin, who he fights to protect from a threat arguably even greater than himself, so as the Darkin General he has a sense of honour, loyalty and nobility as well, however twisted. I'm not sure how you could show that in music, but if anyone can I'm sure the folks at Riot could pull it off.
@@Stolanis Great info, I didn't know about all this. I might look into his lore :) Thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH. You have listened to my prayers. Pantheon theme is my favorite ost from league. I hope you enjoyed it.
PS: you should definitely check out Volibear.
Already did. I'm a Volibear main.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial Chad.
next champion themes suggestion: kindred, gwen and camille
This was an incredible video to watch and your own additions/interpretations were amazing! I would LOVE to hear your own rendition of Pantheon's theme fully played out.
Insane 5 bullet bait, you're a genius. Take the like you deserve it.
Pantheon's theme has an amazing breakdown somewhere in CZcams, courtesy of the theme's actual composer (I believe his name is Edward Breneisen) who explains the thought processes, decisions, and followthrough on all the elements, motifs, instruments, etc
My favorite part about Pantheon’s theme is that its about Pantheon’s origin. The bass guitar section is specifically about him and Aatrox battling, with Pantheon managing to best him.
Man your reactions are awesome, i can see you feel the music in your heart before you talk about it. The smile you give in some parts, show how much you love doing this, keep working!!!. Congratulations from Brazil.
What do you think about memes about Mordekaiser and Brazil?
Brasileiro tá em qualquer lugar kkkk
i really appreciate how many new things i discover in OSTs because of your joyful and filling explanations. Many thanks.
bro, i love how you tell us the meaning of each change in the music. i am learning while listening with you. also the cover you did for jhin is kinda sounding like the one from tft a bit.
The cool thing about Pantheon's is that in the splash art in the theme video you can see Aatrox behind him in the background.
Please make more videos on this topic, I love how you analyze the songs, I can listen to them differently now.
We'll do a part 2 next wednesday. :)
i came here for pantheon theme
This is so awesome to see, the league of legends soundtrack is truly amazing! I highly reccomend looking into Fiddlesticks, the Ancient Fear; lots of influence from old folklore stories/hymns and a truly unique and unsettling musical motif for the character.
Funny thing about Jhin is he was originally supposed to be western themed, so you guessing that was pretty cool.
Now it's his best skin, by the way
kindred and pyke also have incredible music and I call it art
Sett, Ekko and Tahm Kench. Three heavy themes that you NEED to check out. Love your work!
Sometimes life gets hard. I suddenly remember Pantheon Theme, play it 3\4\5 (thousands) times, and go on. For me is the best theme in the whole league roster.
Pantheon has the most breathtaking theme I have ever heard it gives me goosebumps every time
When I listen to your violin take on the pantheon theme the sound make me want to hear you playing braum's theme, I feel like it fits quite well the sound of your violin
You're so good at what you're doing, you easily defined jhin's personality by listening to his theme
Oof damn! That takes me back! Used to play League for a year or so in high school. I think Lucian's theme is a banger! Another great and informative video SPG! Great work!
Pyke,lucian,sett themes are great keep up the good work definitely do a part 2
Jhin's intro is one of my favorites in League Of Legend Discography. Using the gun as an instrument felt so different.
Pantheon is a guy that was posessed by a god. then the god got killed but the guy just said fuck you I ain't dying and got back up
pantheon theme tells a whole fucking story, just by itself, you can just imagine a lot holy shit
Wonderful reaction, Jhin's theme is one of my personal favorites as well. It blends his themes of art and brutality so well while making a beautiful piece. If you want to look at more Champion Themes then I highly recommend Kindred's!
Jhin can be said to be the most artistic character among the games I have played, especially since art is connected with cruel killings, which is a very interesting setting.
4!! How Lovely!!
You took the bait, Jhin main.
Damn man ur playing to the themes is fire❤
Pantheon is my fave theme. hypes me up
I honestly do love and respect you and your musical talent, String Player Gamer🤘😎🤓😜😄🤘
Gwen, Senna, Hwei, Bel'Veth, Vex, Kindred. All of these themes are fantastic, though I do especially want to hear the reaction to Kindred's, Gwen's and Bel'Veth's themes especially !
Pantheon theme goes haaaaaaaaard🔥
It gives the "I would fight together with Pantheon in a war" feeling
Pantheon is from another part of that world.
He travels all over Runeterra and has tried several times to climb Mount Targon, which only someone very special can climb. Whether it be because of the length of the climb, its difficulty, the ghosts that boggle your mind, the enemies that wait there with unexpected weather changes, and the cult of Solari that protects Targon. Most die, but not him.
The Pantheon has an aspect of war to it. That means he's a demigod. He hosts the aspect of war. The aspect is basically a god.
There are two other aspects hanging around Targon, the Moon in Diana and the Sun in Leona. Diana is from the Lunari cult that worships the moonlight. Leona in turn is of the Solari, who worship ONLY the light of the Sun and despise all other sources of light as inferior.
i hope you do more league music cuz its just incredible
Bro played jhin's theme, read that exactly as one of jhin's murderous play acts, got a bit of wild west vibes (his original idea was a killer cowboy android) and proceeded to get a perfect read of the character. Like he said, "Elegant beauty surrounded by chaos and destruction". Riot used all their inspiration on jhin and will never replicate such perfection ever again, RIP good champion design
Here's some more suggestions for champion themes you should absolutely look into:
1. Pyke
2. Fiddlesticks
3. Camille
4. Sett
5. Tahm Kench
6. Kindred
7. Sylas
8. Ornn
These are just SOME of many out there, but they are arguably among the best ones.
League of legends is full of masterpieces and i would like to see more of this i really love watching the pros reaction and i really liked your opinion and reaction like when you descriped jhin according to his theme you said elegance sorrunded by chaos and this is the most accurate discription of jhin thank you for this amazing video hoping to watch more from you❤
I honestly can never get over just how amazing pantheons theme is. its so beautiful and moving!
Just for context since you were asking.
Pantheon was host to a demigod like creature but has since inherited its celestial powers and fights blood demons (very short over simplification)
Jhin, the description, Elegant beauty surrounded by chaos and destruction, probably the best way jhin has been explained. I don't need to say anything else
As someone who's been playing this game since like 2013, I loved hearing this music again through new ears. I'd love if you could review more champion themes! Some of my favorites are Pyke, Evelyn, and Fiddlesticks :)
Such a strong and noble Greek warrior, and his ultimate goal in life once he stops fighting? Starting a bakery for it is truly just and good.
Amazing! If you make more of these, and you should, please make one on the theme for tahm kench.
"Not only because its fun"
Translation:Not because its fun
It's only fun in bots, which is the only mode we play. PVP is toxic.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial good to see someone does the same thing. Actually miss the old pve events (odyssey)
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial every league player hates the game but is adicted , its not to late for you dont go in thare or you will become like us
@@chill_bloby don't tell me what to do
First time ever watching you and already loved it. I'm i the middle of the video but you so expressive and fun that I'm captivated.
Maybe you kinda reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow lol, with the gestures. Loved it
As a proud Jhin main, I can confirm. Although I love to listen almost every champion and teaser musics, Jhin's theme is the best indeed.
Haha you're gonna have a field day with the league themes ! :p hope you'll enjoy them, Jhin is my favourite theme as well!
if you keep doing them 3 by 3, then I guess Jax, Irelia and Akali are also really good (and many more but there's probably a ton of requests already lol)
Your own little spin on Jhin’s theme when you finished listening to it was *mwah* chefs kiss
for Volibear's theme, they made a mix of several languages to create a language appropriate to the region where the character comes from.
The TLDR on Pantheon, he was a man born on Mt Targon, who one day climbed the mountain after his home was brutalized by another of the groups living in, and decided to climb to seek the power of the gods. His friend died, but he reached the top, and the Aspect of War, effectively the god of war, decided that Atreus couldn’t wield his power, so instead of giving it to him, the aspect possessed his body.
Years later, Pantheon battles Aatrox who’s seeking to kill the gods that imprisoned him in his weapon, and dies to Aatrox, but Aatrox couldn’t kill Atreus.
The constellation of the god disappeared from the sky, and Pantheon died, but Atreus survived, and kept his powers. Aatrox assumed he would simply die on his own and left him to die, but Atreus’ will was so powerful he survived.
Id love to hear you react to some of the other themes from league like fiddlesticks, volibear's, jax's etc
To answer the 'different worlds/realms' question; This all takes place on a single planet known as Runeterra.
The current known continents of the planet are Valoran, Shurima and the Camavoran Continent. (the latter of which we have little info on) Most everything takes place in Valoran and Shurima. Valoran holding places like the Freljord, Demacia, Noxus and the Arcane cities of Piltover and Zaun with the latter acting as a bridge to the Shuriman contient which holds Expansionist Noxian territories, Shurima proper (where Aatrox hails from in ancient times), Targon (where Pantheon is from), Nozuma, Ixtal and (formerly) Icathia with multiple archipelagos such as Ionia (where Jhin is from) and The Shadow Isles. All this in what is the Runeterra Prime universe with each skinline being a different universe with their own stories.
All in all, its a very amazing world with tons of lore and potential.
Yup. My daughter has already explained it to me. She's my LOL encyclopedia when I need info.
The JIN in the subtitle kill me everytime
i like the fact it sounds like they doubling down on the fourth note/ beat/ sound for jhin's theme, being that he' obsessed with the number four
-to add
jhin's madness and artistic love kinda reminds me of Deidara from naruto
Nunu & Willump is one of my favorite, it's very joyful and calm !
Im legit surprised they made all of those TURNS in the Pantheon theme... they all were unexpected but accepted so well by my EARS! So Dynamic!!
When league started adding some musical flare to their champions back in 2012, I was so excited. Even though Lulu was the first and simplest of the add ins for changing the login theme for her release, the one that hit me that very same year, was Diana's login theme. It doesn't have a lot, but it doesn't need to. Will always love it.
The mongolian throat singing starts from in the 1st minute of aatrox's theme, though its difficult to hear
the 5 bullets indeed hurt my bad ngl
Elegance surrounded by chaos and destruction perfectly describes jihn
After this video I have an incredible desire to hear your opinion about of Braum and Orn themes
It would be interesting to know what you think about the musical theme of Xayah and Rakan, it's my favorite!
Thank you for your video!
great video !!!!
Didn't play LoL for over than 4 years but start the download right after your video timeline is over))
4 is a great number.
One of my favourites is Volibear’s theme.
Sounding like an epic Nordic saga (with a broken Icelandic dialect to give it that feeling of Scandinavian warrior’s ode)
Interesting that you hear themes of despair in Aatrox’ theme. He’s certainly capable of inflicting it on his enemies, be it as a colossal giant as depicted in Legends of Runeterra or the Goliath-like proportions (really tall but still close enough to human height) as depicted in Still Here… but this despair is also his own.
Corrupted by battlefield trauma against the Lovecraftian Void and abuse of Blood Magic he is trapped within his own blade.
A prisoner with an I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream fate when he has no host to possess and mold into a fallen parody of his former splendour. He cannot die, merely lose his host and be trapped within his blade again.
The noble general turned omnicidal maniac seeking the end of all things in the desperate hope that when all things stop, he may finally pass on.
That's an awesome video ! If you want to listen to some other champions themes, I would recommend Qiyana, Renata and Hwei
Man you look like Nvidia's ceo Jensen Huang if he was into music :D
Keep it up!
That 5 note sequence at around 6:50 sounds like someone saying "He's a warrior" in a sing-songy-sing-alongy voice which is cool
would be nice if you could check the lore of the champs bf so you could catch some little details from the song that make reference to the lore like the the silence gap on pahant's song is like when he almost dies in the lore, so is like this tension of being near the end but never giving up, this is like phant's philosophy in his life ''never give up''
That's not how I do things. If that's how you want things done, do it on your own channel.
I love your hair
i never picked up on that western sounding part in jhins theme, and its probably a nod to the fact that his initial concept was a wild west themed robot sniper, which they made as his release skin high noon jhin. would love to see camille and kindred themes, as well as dark star cho gath
i cant wait for kindred theme.
Viego too, some Rachmaninoff vibes. Imo those two are the best themes.
it's what special about the champion themes
the themes can tell you about the champions, describe how the champions are, although you don't know anything about that champion
It would be awesome if you do Sett's Theme, it's amazing how it sounds. Great vid!
