      I dunno. There are a lot of parts of the video where Necrit assumes the audience has some knowledge of League (an assumption probably born from the fact that this channel was mostly geared toward League fanslooking for lore ) and he just rushes past some data without going really deeper into stuff like character motivations and importance.
      Like there are parts where he introduces a character and he's like "Of course, it's this character" and I'm like "what do you mean
      OF COURSE IT'S THIS CHARACTER?! I've never heard of this character in my life".
      I came to this video for a complete beginner's guide to LoL But this feels more like an abridged recap of all the current lore uptil now for fans who might've forgoten it. It's an effective, if compressive lore dump of the massive world of Runeterra but not a really good introduction to people who are just getting to this through Arcane. If I was a total noob, I would wonder what all of this had to do with Piltover and Zaun, with Vi & Jinx & Jayce & Caitlyn and al lthe rest of the show...because, would they not be the main characters?

      At that point their understanding of how to make physical bodies that could interact with reality was pretty limited, and so they were basically faulty prototypes that didn't quite work the way they were intended.
      That's what I'm guessing.

      If you haven't heard about it, there's actually one being animated as we speak called "Arcane". It's coming out on 2021, and it'll be based on the league universe. I don't know what exactly it'll be like, but there's a trailer out already. It looks really good so far, and the trailer was released on 2019. Speaking about animated trailers and stuff, the league cinematics are absolutely amazing. Like, incredibly good, and even show lore sometimes(Refer to the Yasuo cinematic, the Warriors 2020 cinematic, etc.). Check them out!

    So basically... It's a big expansive world with a lot of stuff happening.
    Kind of a shame there isn't a bigger game dedicated to the world of Runeterra, and instead all we have is a MOBA game where the story is on the sideline, and we get to see the world mostly in either artpieces, or cinematics.
    World of Runeterra, anyone?

He can either create another Runeterra or just run away. He'd probably just be annoyed. Even though he's technically enslaved, Ausol is still reaaaaally pissed off about it. If he wanted to shut down the rift in Icathia, he certainly could. He just doesn't to tacitly throw up the middle finger at Targon. So, yeah. They could've played it better, especially considering that one of Swain's soul fragment lore bombs hints that Ausol has siblings.

    Riot took an obvious inspiration from one of Marvel's story. From the origins of Knull the Symbiote God and his creation. He existed long before the existence of the whole universe and being awoken from the creation of the universe he got upset by it because of the Celestials creating all the light.
    The story of the void was also then inspired by this because of Knull creating his own army of darkness to exterminate the light of the universe, and that army would be what we now know as the Symbiotes.
    would like some likes so many more would know of this origin

      im not an expert on lore, legends, or religion, but based on how marvel, too, gets its ideas from other stories, im guessing this "story" has been around for a long time

    2:37 why didn't he say there was fiddlesticks with the watchers? because fiddlesticks isn't a watcher but infact a demon and in his lore it says that he lived before light so talking about fiddlesticks at this moment was so perfect but he didnt do it :(. + fiddlesticks is the first demon of 10 "fiddlesticks, first of ten. fiddlesticks, end of men."

    Imagine Riot organizing an event that actually affected the lore, like players siding with either the Void or the Celestials in teams, and the team that won would establish how the lore continues

      Play Legends of Runeterra instead! It has a very wide variety of narratives, even more so than League of Legends. It has many characters that aren't in League of Legends, and it shows interactions of them.

    Sidenote: LoL history is all about gods trying to make plans and every fucking thing went sideways
