Rise of the Sentinels Part 2 Sep 06, 2021

Show notes

Probably the most offensive thing about the Rise of the Sentinels event is the visual novel. So we ranted about it for over an hour! And summarize, in case you were lucky enough to miss it. Truly we can't wrap our head around the bad humor, Olaf farting jokes, and Senna's complete lack of personality. And that's barely scratching the surface of why this is so terrible. Let's just ignore all the Targon lore. Gangplank is back??? Apparently! Diana met some Lunari and...has her weapon again? WHAT IS THIS??

Rise of the Sentinels Part 1 Aug 30, 2021

Show notes

We're taking a break from our usual programming to bring you this bitch-fest. You're welcome! Riot Games has been prepping lore fans for this Ruination event for so long, a lot of people thought that it was never going to happen. And now we're all wishing it didn't. With inconsistent characters, plot lines, and straight up ignoring their own lore, the Rise of the Sentinels event was a massive failure that plenty of League Lore experts already broke down extremely well. We don't break it down well, but we sure do complain a lot!

Hecarim Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

Our favorite little horse pony Glaive Guy Hecarim has a pretty metal backstory. Although a massive catalyst in The Ruination, you wouldn't know it these last few weeks, but that's a complaint for another episode (wink emoji)(I don't know how to add emojis here).

Gwen Aug 09, 2021

Show notes

You've got to doll before you can run! Or at least Gwen, The Hallowed Seamstress had to. Unfortunately, that's really the most interesting thing we can find about her. While she's supposed to be a massive part of the Ruination, Gwen is still full of basic protagonist tropes and not much of a personality to make up for it. As well as being one of many Pretty champions Riot is in love with lately.

Revisit: Dr. Mundo/Diana/Ekko Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

Not only did Dr. Mundo get a visual rework, but they changed a huge amount of his backstory. We were...less than pleased. But on a brighter note, Diana/Leona is CONFIRMED Y'ALL WE ALL KNEW BUT NOW IT'S TRUE THANK YOU RIOT (and also, uhh, finally? Like, come on). A bit smaller, but there's a smidge more for Ekko following some Legends of Runeterra releases.

Graves Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

We had learned a lot about Graves while going through Gangplank's lore, but now we finally get to talk about it! While Graves had a fairly cliche backstory originally, Riot Games made a few tweaks that ended up making The Outlaw more unique, heart-felt, and exciting. I'm just a sucker for a good friendship-that-should-definitely-be-romantic, okay?

Gragas Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

Another old champion left behind, The Rabble Rouser Gragas has been a little neglected in terms of lore updates. While Riot thankfully did away with some, ah, we'll say problematic short stories, they didn't replace that bad, bad lore with much. We do enjoy Gragas having a simple story, one that reminded us of a seasoned Dungeons and Dragons backstory. But give us more!!

Gnar Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

The Missing Link Gnar is new enough to not have an updated lore but too old to have much lore at all. Unfortunate because he's a delightful little prehistoric yordle, and we want more cute Gnar moments please and thank you. With a similar backstory to Fizz, we were expected to be just as disappointed, but Riot did a better job this time around.

Garen Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

If you, like us, are hoping for more to Garen beyond "Sword boy swing sword real good", unfortunately, we gotta look elsewhere. While the Might of Demacia has a lot of potential to develop due to his relationship with his sister Lux and his no longer canon girlfriend Katarina, he doesn't have much going for him on his own. Riot, make him the protagonist in his own stories at least! Dang.

Gangplank Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

Our first dive into Bilgewater begins with The Saltwater Scourge and scoundrel pirate, Gangplank. We were a little overwhelmed with a number of intertwining stories and drama but don't worry we definitely, definitely just focused on Gangplank and had no tangents at all. On the plus side, way less pirate puns than expected. Go us!
