Nah, he'll be introduced in a story 6 years from now in which he reveals that actually he had a perfectly legitimate reason to leave Sett, and the two have a heart warming reunion.

Sett's in game VO will not change.

And you could feel his features in the air
A wide smile and perfect hair
He had complete control of the rising tides
And a medicine bag hanging at his side

In the flowing blue world of the death-dealing physician
Yeah they revealed a couple riot forge games at :pcgaming: The Game Awards :pcgaming: earlier, a bilgewater/shadow isles RPG and an ekko platformer. no gameplay of either but hopefully they're both neat

The Bilgewater game is being done by the Battle Chasers team so I have low expectations for that.

He can only press R on champions, it’s not a dash. So he either suplexes you with him back closer to his tower if you’re behind him for some weird reason and then your top laner gets a free lane for the rest of early game or he suplexes you further away from his tower and just dies

it’s not a mobility skill

The Ruined King is a king with a forgotten name of a forgotten civilization millennia in the past of Runeterra. He invaded the Blessed Isles to revive his dead queen, but when he did she came back as an undead monster. With grief at his failure he cast a spell to kill himself and his wife that instead unleashed the Ruination and tainted the magic waters of the Blessed Isles transforming everyone except Maokai and Yorick (both protected by untainted sources of the magic water) into undead monsters.

Kalista and Hecarim were a part of the ruined King's army, but Hec betrayed Kalista when she refused to attack the islanders. Thresh was an islander who betrayed his people to the invaders because he was a secret rear end in a top hat.

Nobody really remembers exactly what. Apparently there was a religious order there that had access to magical healing waters and what have you but there were limits to what they could do. It turns out that dicking around with death is A Bad Idea.

In my last game I had a midlaner lock in Yuumi because they were very mad that our jungler chose not to ban anyone, fed two kills immediately, then dipped out

I'd never seen someone rage over a lack of a ban before

I found the mythical enemy team Aphelios with Senna support. Holy gently caress is a lane miserable when enemy has 2 extreme long range pokers, and said Aphelios knows how to play as well.

I've seen like 10 aphelios players in ranked and I've never seen them do 1. more than 10k damage and 2. Not feed and be like 1/8 at 20 minutes

Don't ban hovered picks you dipshit, you literally were "forced" to dodge b/c you were the aggressor

He has so much to keep track of I just can’t imagine he’s worth learning even if you’re a pro. Just pick Tristana and hypercarry without having to think much.

this is a weird take. having an advantage over enemies, in any way, is extremely potent, and a great advantage is confusion from being able to alternate weapons with aphelios and subtly alter your playing over time making it hard for an enemy to get a read on the lane dynamic. anyway aphelios is not even that complicated really... i dislike how riot has made a champion complex that new players are not going to be able to ever understand the complexity of without reading, but here we are. to learn how to play aphelios is not hard at all. i challenge anyone to take it up.

He's a marksman who's auto-attack style and Q change every 50 attacks. It's not that complex at a base level, and he'll probably crush people in bronze and silver because no-one will be able to track his weapons.
