Kai/Valmar: "Dude, stop killing"
Varus: "No"
Kai/Valmar: "Bruh"
Varus: "kek"
Kai/Valmar = Soyjak
Varus = Chad
LOR Varus: "Maybe I don't want to kill as much anymore."
Kai/Valmar: "Yes"
Varus: "No"
Kai/Valmar: "Yes"
Varus: "No"
Kai/Valmar: "Yes"
Varus: "No"
Kai/Valmar: "No"
Varus: "Yes... Wait! FUU-"
LoR Varus was born.
* A human appears in range *
Varus: "Oh boy! Here i go killing again".
''Valmar: Grieve the lost''
''Varus: Why? No one grieved for me''
Holy shit it hits hard
Frrr and he sound so sad there 😢
i hope varus can be redeemed 😞poor him
RIGHT, it has to be one of the hardest in the game
@@jadenisiahAatrox will never be topped.
@@dikmann3143 Aatrox def has the best voice lines as a whole (since I so happen to know all 27 minutes of them by heart🤣) but it's sumthing ab this one line
I really like that Kai & Valmar are trying to council Varus. I think it leads to the more contemplative and slightly softer Varus we see in Legends of Runeterra.
In LoR it is already implied that Varus is the most "sane" of the Darkin known, and the only one who interacts with humans in a "friendly" manner (don't kill them on the spot, possibility to do deals).
@@happypepper9326 yep... it seems like LOL varus is varus that came right after coming out of pool and stil trying to drown Kai and Valmar under his influance, craving their abstance.
In LoR he accepts them as a part of him and even take their advice to take better decisions. Sure he is still chasing his vengance but now doing so in more sane manner. Instead of killing everyone for no reason he even makes deal with weaker beings, giving them his power so they can fight in his name and for his cause. Sure he still wishes Kai and Valmar to go away(He asks if Seraphine can silence them and it seems like Seraphine can hear inner voice of everyone and that turns into Seraphine hearing Kai and Valmar. This is most likely not a canon meeting but a conversation that would happen if they ever met)
So Kai and Valmar healed Varus in a way. He claims he have no heart but upon reminded having one he corrects his path into more logical one again. Varus in LOR is a Varus that is reminded of his mortality.
@@makaramuss i still miffed that seraphine's LoR makes more sense than her actual shoved in as a 2nd thought LoL entry/lore.
I hope they ditch that "soft Varus" completely, this one is better.
@@WildKamuran yep :D LoR... lore(awkward to say) is much better for serahphine and great choice. She doesn't just sing, she sings what she is hearing from people around her. Like... she turns entire concert into a band by including audiance into it.
with that power she hears Kai and Valmar too because thats what speaking inside darkin's head and she insists on varus to listen them. I love the seraphine so much more in LoR than lol... no more of that "she is using skarner's grandmother as energy source to drive her car" shit pls XD
I love how all three are affected by each other, Varus clearly shaken by Val and Kai humanity, Val divided by the influence of Varus' thirst for revenge and Kai's willingness to forgive and find peace, and Kai trying to appeal to Varus lingering humanity while also trying to not let Val being corrupted by his desire for revenge. This update is amazing.
He finally has a line for the double A thing
feels like he's jealous. Everyone's double A except him. Should have become Vaarus.
@@Jay9966 Insted of having double A he has a double host, funny enough, they brought their own A, kAi and VelmAr
@@sonak78 That's another way to look at it, man we need that Assassin Darkin soon, the lore need expanding.
@@Jay9966 there is some of Darkins with one A, lol.
@@Aaniel_al.Meara. but mostly all Darkins has the double A thing, being the only exceptions Varus, Hozari and Naganeka
the lines, the interaction, the lore implications,THE THREE VOICES!!!! This was long overdue, but now that they finally gave bowman new voices, it was all worth the wait
It wasnt, Kai seems naive and weak, Valmar is almost Varus again, and they dont even interact with each other or barely mention their feelings. And varus is just another edgy character
@@bernardofreitas942 "My kin will scourge this world [Kai: We won't cower]." "Vengeance is power [Kai: As is mercy]." Wow he sure is portrayed as naïve and weak.
I can only assume you didn't actually watch the video and hear any of the voicelines because there are lots of meaningful interactions between the three of them and they do a great job to display their personalities and feelings. Kai and Valmar obviously have their two main characterizations being that they are Ionian warriors and they love each other (speaking of, I think it's all worth it just for the line"[Valmar: Until the end] [Kai: Always].") which both come through well. One of my favorite parts is throughout the voicelines you see Varus consider their words and question if he really can redeem himself as well as Valmar begin to consider Varus' offer to forgo his humanity. In conclusion, i think you're stupid.
@@theswagening6439I have to agree with this guy. Not much for me to add lorewise to be honest. I'm happy that they're still alive inside Varus and that we have also some interactions about Naafiri the Darkin doggo.
@@bernardofreitas942ok little boy
@@bernardofreitas942 if you think varus and darkin are edgy you dont know their lore
"The guilty will know agony" This voiceline will be forever remembered.
Not going to lie, I really liked his original aesthetic and lore. Loved his lines too. 😢
Glad they kept some of the oldies.
@@evilash2427 I really love his old voice tbh. His old voice sounds calm but very sexy. Idk his old voice gives me chills.
Beware of a man with nothing to lose ~
Only cowards flee their fate too
@@kilmer2860 I will not lay down, I shall not kiss the ground, I will remake this world in my dark image
Please remember that the writers had to fight to get this.
they had to? whys that. the Idea is insanely good.
@@Thiccems69 Unfortunately, anything that won’t directly and explicitly sell skins has to be fought for. Voiceline updates like this cost money, which must be justified to the people that control the money.
@@Thiccems69 It has to do with profit. See how we don't even get new rotating game modes anymore? + new lores become slow but somehow we get 140+ skins every year? Yep that's it. Sadly Riot games is no more a small company and devs need permission to the higher ups when money is concern.
@@Crumbdumpster27 Why are you phrasing it like it's some kind of insidious thing? The alternative to not considering money involved is that the VAs and devs don't get paid.
@@Number9Robotic because the way they do it just fucks with most forms of creative additions instead of just cohesively upgrading the goddamn product, notice how varus has updated lore for more than 5 years and ONLY NOW we get the changes to go with it
It's really nice that they added Kai and Valmar voices as well
who are they ?
@@Jon_Doe They're the hunter couple who Varus merged to create his body
It's nice someone remember them
Queens 👸. What a slay. They ate so hard I’m pregnant. 🫃🫃🫃
(Do not take me seriously. But at the same time, please do. I’m just realllyy excited). 😩😩😩🤭🤭🤭🤭🦄😍😍😍🥰😭😩🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😜😜😜
@@lilysenpai8604 fellow r/queensofleague enjoyer?
That 2 voices thing is such a new high of lore I love it
3*
Funny enough It was in his lore for a long time they Just didn't revoice him for all those years(now he needs a asu)
There's three, actually.
Kindred enters chat
I was worried they'd foget. Nice ot see that extra layer of detail.
Oh I love this so much.
How the three interact with each other.
Kai and Valmar trying to convince Varus to let go of his vengance. But also Valmar sometimes being close to succumbing to his hatred.
While Kai is the shining beacon for the three, who believes in mercy and redemption with his pure heart.
Also it's interesting how Valmar and Kai only speak when moving/respawning and not during direct combat. Only time they do is when Varus is at low health, showing that he no longer has the strength/focus to silence their voices.
Amazing work from the voice-actor(s) too.
Favorite lines are definitely 2:45 and 3:00 . When he says "Drown with me" it sends chills down my spine
It's a great way to show the power struggle between the three without making the three seem like they hate each other (or well, having it seem like Val and Kai hate Varus and vice versa) as Valmar and Kai clearly don't seem to have given up in him and Varus seems a bit of a reflection of himself inside the too (especially Valmar)
I like how varus is the reverse of kayn
Kayn has a darkin in his head telling him to kill people
Varus has 2 humans in his head telling him NOT to kill people 😂
Varus finally having a reply to the double A thing makes me happy🤣
Where that thing came from?
@@SerenaMonteli Aatrox voice line
@@SerenaMonteli Aatrox roasted him for not having a double A (Vaarus instead of Varus)
@@SerenaMonteli it was in the memo Aatrox send. IN THE MEMO.
But now we have a meme for the doble E lol
Varus before: "Bloodshed carries a price."
Varus now:"Lmao kill everyone equally."
Lor Varus: *Doubtful screaming*
Communism
Well, iirc, before he was an Ionian who subjected himself to the blight in order to defend his land or something like that. The Darkin retcon came much later.
@@cupie2255 correct, that was the old lore
@@cupie2255 Yeah, he was an Ionian charged with guarding the temple prison of the blight, he stood his ground as he saw Noxus march upon his homeland. Eventually his will broke and he rushed to try to defend his village, but his indecision made him late and his wife and child died. He then ran back to the temple, killed the Noxians there and took up the blight to "live on borrowed time" just long enough to seek bloody revenge on Noxus for the deaths of his family. His lower half is the blight slowing eating him
I love how Kai and Valmar are just "Bro... we get it, you're edgy" and Varus "Don't care didn't ask bozos"
"If you didn't want to be stuck with me, should've listened to your priestess who explicitly told you NOT to do the stuff, bros"
Wow i love that varus is not really antigonistic towards Kai and valmar. He seeth revenge and hatred towards the world, but the couple still try to talk sense into varus and redeem him. He doesnt accept their faith in the goodness of the world, but he nonetheless listens. This is especially apparent in his death quote
Yes!!! Riot still keeps Varus' VA in the basement until this day
LOL
NOT THE BASEMENT 😭 WHAT IS THIS THE SIA/BEYOENCE JOKE
@@seanhyousukeyes
@@seanhyousukeno, this joke started long before they got thwir hands on it
I LOVE this update. Makes me want to play Varus more
fr
Now if only Demonpants here get an ASU
8:53 "Why, no one grieved for me" This may be the hardest and most edgiest league quote ever!!! this voice update is so well done, probably the best!
It goes hard
8:56 - my absolute favorite line out of this update
What an unexpected but welcomed surprise!
It’s expected, they announced his VOs update a while ago
@@starsstorms9918 I’ve been so out of the League loop as of late, the notification just popped up.
@@starsstorms9918 some of us actually go outside and touch grass.
@@dominicbosko8375 this was announced back when they updated his splash art a few years ago
@@SimplyNexy yeah I vaguely remember this
i just noticed how good varus’ splash art looks oh my
Oversexualised
it could look better if they update it and maybe give that thing on his chest a brighter colour and make it look like a heart or eye, like how rhaast's eye is on the scythe
It does look pretty fantastic. I wish there was a bit more contrast with the light (and maybe an accent color somewhere), because it does look a little flat. But it's otherwise a really great composition and render.
Stan izone
It's one of the most delicious splashes we have
Varus is surprisingly... kind to Val and Kai. Like he actually respects their attachments to each other and the world. They try to help him as he tries to corrupt them. Val and Kai have a lines that show a little of their corruption and Varus too has some lines where he entertains the "good" things but ultimately is too hurt/angry/far gone for it to take a root.
Top tier voice update, like Fiddle.
THERE WAS A MEMO VARUS. VAARUS? VARUUS?
Darkin were heroes of mankind ones.
LoR shows us Varus further ahead in time where he has accepted Kai and Val as a part of himself and is actually not *that* evil.
He's still on his quest for vengeance but he actually doesn't straight up kill everyone he meets anymore.
Well darkins are ascended guardian once
Damn, Varus is FIRING BACK at his fellow Darkin now.
Also, the double A reference, the three voices, the Sivir interaction referencing the Chalicar, the Xolaani mention... this is everything I hoped for and more.
Now all we need is Xolaani in League and I might actually come back to the game for it xD
Pretty sure i'm gonna miss "Beware of a Man with Nothing to Lose" that was the one who made me main Varus. Still this is glourious.
😢 Same.
He still doesn't have anything to lose
It's weird that he has that line in LoR but not here
@@trimex7234they probably didn't know that a Varus voiceline update was coming so they tried sticking close to the old one, ence why there's also no Valmar or Kai talking in that one either
that was my favorite quote too :((
So glad Gavin Hammon came back to voice him
It makes me genuinely angry that the lore team had to fight to make this happen.
wdym?
@@squid-chan
The lore team was downsized repeatedly because it makes more sense business wise to use them for skinlines. You cant generate much money from the main universe. Voice updates usually only come up when a champion gets reworked which generates more interest. But Varus only gets a new voice. It isnt bound to any skin and it comes years after the music video that set up his lore rework.
So the lore team really, really struggled getting a greenlight for the voice update.
@@nophion2-electricboogaloo647 I c I c, it must have been a bitch to get anyone to let them do it then... respect to the ones who kept at it.
It's actually interesting because this new update plus the legends of runeterra voicelines imply that he can find his humanity again
redeemed star guardian Varus is coming🤭
Varus's lore somewhere says he's in a state of evolution. It was a year or 2 that I read that before LoR lore with him came out, so who knows where that's gonna take him. I'm a big fan of Varus finally being more than Darkin like his *siblings* though. LoR made me hopeful for my main~.
I wouldn't be surprised if he betrays his siblings and releases Valmar and Kai in the future
@@Typical_Penguin I hope they make another comic for him
All the darkin could unfuck themselves, they just don't believe the deserve it/could do it even if they want it.
Except Rhaast, he's living his absolute best life.
Xolaani and Valeeva are mentioned! Can't wait for their arrivals in League :D
Wasn't Xolaani destroyed by Ryze?
@@Duchu26 she is imprisoned in Yi temple in LoL bc LoR event not happend in that universe
@@Duchu26she was resurrected by yi's student Jun.
@@Duchu26 Yes but that lore has yet to come to league, Viego had his villain arc, she will have too
@@rrreuelmenz Most LoR's cards stories are not canon and more of a "what if". Yi doesn't have students, Rhaast didn't win and didn't create a cult in Ionia. Xolaani never awakened and never consumed Nihira
"What strength do you have, sons of Ionia?"
"Each other."
I'M GOING TO CRY ;;;;
Val and Kai having even just one voice line together is all I wanted thank fucking god. It's about time.
7:13 crying, sobbing
2:21 Happy Pride Month to our 3 favorite gays in a Trenchcoat
"Valmar and Kai
urge redemption, is it so beyond me?"
Weird seeing Varus still hoping for redemption, i wonder if he'll one day get it
I love how beneath all that hatred, Varus still doubts his conviction. He might be too far gone, but maybe not forever. I also love the implication that his hate is a lot more personal, that he may have at some point taken the humanity's side in the darkin war, but was betrayed and sealed regardless.
after almost 6 years Riot finally delivered, he deserved this update
I like that these voice lines seem to be before the Varus we see in LOR who gets influenced by Kai and Valmar
I was kind of hoping this would remain but oh well
Same. you see a sort of development. LoR is great for that.
Lor isn't canon sadly it's just a bunch of what ifs
LOR isn’t canon so Idky riot is ruining the game with fake lore. They did the same with arcane.
@@akaliotp6766they literally said they are going to make LOR Arcane and League canon in one cohesive universe what the fuck are you talking about
It's so nice we finally hear Valmar and Kai voices! Varus is indeed leading both down to a path they don't want to take part. Not that they can do much about it :(
Fun Fact! In legends of runeterra they actually make it a bit more unsure wether if varus will go down that path or listen to kai and valmar, pointing a bit towards that last direction
@@angel-memeroftheisles considering he squares off against xolaani in his level 2 art, it seems like he's at least willing to go against fellow darkin.
@@idiotindustriesI think everyone is fine with fighting Xolaani lol
@@idiotindustries everyone hates her she gave them blood magic but she wanted to take control of their minds and bodies. I would want to kill her too
@@idiotindustries Xolaani is hated by the darkins that's probably why
Finally, Varus is properly established as a character separate from Kai and Valmar with Kai and Valmar being prominent to his character. Long overdue but man did we need this!
I like how Varus puts on a show of wanting to kill everything but a few show that he feels he doesn't has a choice and opens the possibility of an anti hero darkin
Remember guys the writers had to Fight for this !!!
With valmar and Kai now ingame, hope that means varus wont get ignored for next year's Pride
Varus taking his 2 incorporeal possession sons to pride
3:41 Varus: I must be more
Maiden: You could be more!
Yorick: I am enough.
This is better than I thought it would be! 3 characters, more references to the other Darkin, and way more personality.
And a new darkin we did'nt know about,valeeva
still hope more interaction for rhaast tho, we dont have any information about his past. Aatrox and Varus is super fleshed out, and i will guarantee we will know naafiri more than rhaast even tho she's a new released character.
@@migatito1291we've been told about valeeva in twilight of the gods, she is one of the darkin that survived chalicar nuke. But we doesnt know h
what she looks like, some theorize she is a "mandate" (because a file in mageseeker)
@@migatito1291we knew about her since a long time, she's said to be Varus's sister, but we don't have much info of her aside from that
@@migatito1291 We knew about Valeeva eons ago
I love this. Love seeing Varus talking to Valmar and Kai
ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!! It's been years since his lore update. This has been looong over due.
"What strenght do you cling to, sons of Ionia?
-Each other
-To the last breath"
Got me teary eyed 🥺💙💜
If I remember right, the devs who got us nidalee and varus voice overs got in trouble for this... let us honor it
After watching this I can say with confidence that of the 2 humans that Kai is the bottom
Sir that is tasteless and inappropriate
Have a like.
@@Keurgui1Listen to LowTierGod bro
I'm so glad he's keeping the same voice actor
how do you know it's not someone else with the same voice filter
@@deathlyshivers8601 I'm assuming, at least. They kept his old VA around for LoR, and this sounds practically the same.
@@deathlyshivers8601description
Varus seems apologetic towards Valmar and Kai when he dies, i find that interesting
That they kept his old VA (i think at least)is really cool, his voice fits Varus so well
1:30
Rhaast is already struggling to overpower one
Well tbf this one's kinda strong
i mean if any of the darkin is fighting kayn, no one would win even aatrox that's the whole point of kayn, A main character.
tbf thats what made kayn a unique host, he’s not easily corrupted
@@RuzYT you are correct my friend!
1:47 maybe this one
10/10 Suprise! The Lines are amazing and the voice is so well done!
So interesting how here we can hear and see his begining after escape, with all of his rage and more Darkin side, while in LoR he's already gained some humanity back
This is really well done
The low health voice lines surprised me more than I expected
I'm sad that they didn't include his almost iconic line "Beware a man with nothing to lose"
It was so worth that the team pushed for these VA-updates. Shame it nearly didn't happen
1:38 I am the liquor, Randy
damn as a varus main im really happy also would like to see model update
Absolutely love Valmar and Kai in his head. It’s like a demon having two angels on his shoulders.
I like how they kept some of his old lines
I love the small detail of valmars voice is concentrated on left kai on right sound channel.
As soon as this came out, i knew its related to naafiri, cant wait to see her
Hearing Varus's interactions with Kai and Valmar makes me feel like he is treating them well, kinda. XD
4:12 People who don't know lore or LoR will be confused.
Others however: YOO XOLAANI MENTIONED!
Our queen
Valmar and Kai finally got some recognition.
One of his death voice lines... Is he trying to apologize to Val and Kai??? It sure sounded like it
SO FUCKING HAPPY, bro NEEDED this BADLY. esp adding in the 2 other voices, showing more of his lore
okay they absolutely killed this! love it, amazing work.
Man, now it's official, darkins have the best voicelines
Ionians tho… although Irelia carries 90% of the best voice lines by an ionian all by herself
always have been. Aatrox's succumb into madness and depression, Rhaast's raw anger and brutality, now Varus' drive for vengeance. Just wait for what naafiri has in store
@-ˏˋNFRˎˊ- i like irelia lore wise and in game wise, but her most memorable line is her screaming "Ionia still stands", and "Remember the Placedium"
omg we finally get to hear Kai and Valmar!!!!
i love varus interaction with the 2 especially at 3:06. It was a very sad yet somehow cute interaction🙁
god bless you skin spotlights your work for this channel is more appreciated then you know
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we now actually have proper dialogue between Valmar and Kai inside Varus' consciousness!! This VO is so amazing work I love all of it! now if his visuals would only be updated one day to better reflect the inner conflict of three different entities inside one body that would be even greater!
The way he calls out for valmar and kai when he dies...maybe they're more than a host for him
Ikr
throuple-
after I dont know how many years they kinda grew under his skin (literally?)
@@darkinwill6229 Lol yup
@@wasabilover1293 boy bye
Gonna miss "when you dance with death, lead." and "the guilty will know agony" but overall this is a good update!
my boy finally getting more voice lines yesssss
Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this??? Varus is my main. And hearing his new lines, and an answer to the double A thing... it brings tears to my eyes!! Finally!!
So Varus has an interaction with Kalista just because they share a vengenace thematic but not a single line with Zoe, you know, the current avatar of the aspect that sealed the darkin away
Valmar: Until the end.
Kai: Always.
Ok, I'm gonna cry right now...
I love it! I have waited sooo long for this!
I love that the other two thirds of Varus are finally getting a part!
I like the small details of adding voice lines when in low health or upgrading a skill.
I love the three voices, finally.
this is soooo much better than I expected
it's like kai and valmar are the parents and varus is a stubborn teenager
the 3 voices is so good
its been YEARS in the making. ever since the lore update and splash update. we were promised new voices so long ago. finally,,,
8:30 suddenly bury the light plays in the background
What a big lore drop! Hyped to see Valeeva Xolaani, and Naafiri (one day)
Naafiri is going on the pbe servers towards the end of june. Per riots rapid fire questions. (Most recent ask riot)
@@corruptedarcher1564 oh wow thanks for the info!!!
The day we get Xolaani in LoL is the day we enter the good timeline. Xolaani is my favourite card in LoR and I'd love to see her translated into LoL.
He finally spoke up to Aatrox about his goofy name scheme. True character development.
4:10, it's the first time that Xolaani has been mentioned outside LoR, this may tease that she will be the darkin support down the line, that or Valeeva (though i think Valeeva would be another Darkin ADC)
Technically Xolaani was shown (albeit as a defaced statue) in "The Call" cinematic - her statue is the one in Shurima that Kai'sa and Taliyah arrive at, and Aatrox is the one that fucked the statue up.
i love that the interactions are mostly for adcs out of lore, so theres a higher chance to hear them
Really cool to get a little insight into Kai and Valmar! Goes to show how much I’ve been missing the lore...
9:47 what varus? Say it!!! 😤
I believe he wanted to say he’s sorry
Xolaani mention. 4:09 The only new potential champion I would be happy to see added. She will be a sick enchanter.
On one hand it fits her lore to be an enchanter support.
On the other hand I want to see her as a top laner so she can 1v1 Aatrox because they are eachothers biggest enemies.
These new voice lines are absolutely amazing, I sure am happy that we will have to wait probably antoher year or two for the next VO update
FINALLYYYYYYYY Been asking for this for ageesss.
