I love how the most realistic thing in the video is Yasuo playing the flute in the middle of a fight.

[Hereson]

Holy moly. *Movie Quality Cinematics.* I'd pay to see the movie for sure.

[YKDDS]

Yasuo mains trying to 1v10000, check.
Taliyah using her ult to run, instead of to engage, check.
Ekko using his ult unnecessarily before an actual fight and dying without it, check.
Miss Fortune getting caught by Ilaoi while "split pushing" in the top lane, check.
Lucian ulting into Thresh's hook, check.
Too real. It hurts.

[spoonderman]

Who went back here because of the new cinematic of Lucian and thresh?

[mofuker]

Ironic how Thresh and Lucian work so well in botlane

[geodeltoid]

Blitz was completely accurate to the game:
Q - R - Ctrl+4

[diddeny]

AFK playing the flute and then going 1v3000? Definitely sounds like my team's Yasuo.

[Zephyrir_Snow]

They stopped at Lucian jumping cus after hat he got one shotted because thresh went full crit

[ogre]

My god riot give your animators a raise cause that animation was down right breathtaking.

[Necrit]

And I'm just sitting here, nerding out because we were finally able to see the crater of the Ruined King.

[sleepii]

These cinematic keeps getting better and better!!

So many people taking this literally compared to game mechanics... The whole thing is a metaphor for struggling through the ranks from bottom to top.
Yasuo and Taliyah represent cruising through the very lower divisions. Ekko represents overconfidence in one's own abilities causing you to fall and lose. MF shows a struggle to climb back and overcome your failings. Lucian is shown wading and clawing his way through hundreds of other hopeful players who stand in his path to get to Thresh, who represents Challenger - killing Thresh is Lucian's ultimate goal in his lore, just as reaching Challenger is the ultimate goal for a serious ranked player.

Report Lucian used ultimate on minion instead of Thresh

[jameshowlett]

love the symbolism of ranked climbing with each scene, yasuo is running ''up'' a hill, mf is being pulled down by a bronze illaoi, ekko falls down the elo ladder, then lucian tries to climb the mountain to elo heaven only to meat an IE, static shive, duskblade adc thresh

[averagenolifememer]

Can we take a moment to realize how insane talyiahs walls are?

[zions]

1:05 love how the Blitz is dancing there and worrying for Ekko when hes falling XD

[Whawpenshaw]

Yasuo uses windwall on a large minion wave after afk.
Xerath tries to ult Taliah as she ults back to lane.
Ekko w's minions, blitz grabs and ults minions, urgot misses every q.
The prologue to my MF/Illaoi shipping fanfic.
Lucian farms, then culls the next minion wave and dashes into the league of legends logo, which i'm assuming is covering the flay and hook combo that's about to make him 0/1/0.

[fettahyldz]

fake, that Yasuo didn't pop up his mastery once in every 5 secs

[AyJaeTV]

Just came back for a rewatch of all they're cinematics and noticed something. When Taliyah is sand surfing and the Canon shoots those 5 shots it takes a second for the actual sounds of then shooting to kick in to catpure how far away it is. Like lightning and thunder. Absolutely brilliant.

[Somerandomdude]

I got the chills just from watching this...simply beautiful.
