Tft is like the stepdad we needed after our biological dad left us

[joshrush]

Kayle is a 1 cost, but scales really hard if you 3 star her late game. So it makes sense

[zema]

Corrections:

It was already stated that Leblanc is NOT the 3rd Noxian Leader "Guile" as she is the entire reason why the Trifecta exists and the last leader is a secret. The LoR Card is confirmed to be an error and not proof that she is "Guile".

T-Hex is also the 8-Cost Tech Unit Heimerdinger creates in LoR after playing an 8-Cost Spell.

About the Ekko thing: I guess they wanted to make a bridge between Zaun and Piltover since he is on both regions. Which is also kinda "meh" bc Vi is right next to him in Piltover and she fits both Regions much better.

Set 1 was my favorite precisely because it had default-ish skins and I could build teams per canonical region. Glad to know that that's coming back in some form.

Kayle being a 1 cost makes sense from a gameplay perspective to mirror her playstyle from League. According to Mort she goes frome one of the weakest unit to basically a 3* 4 cost

[GameboySR]

Ekko might be a bit of foreshadowing maybe? Given the end game of Convergence and his character development and interactions with a certain Piltovian.

12:31
Sion does have an oven (with fire) in the WR version so it does kinda make sense to point sion out. Else I thought its simply a Battlecast skin

[ethanstyant]

I thought Belveth was opposing the void because she's wants to absorb/remake existence rather than annihilating it like the Watchers, so she isn't a good guy she just happens to oppose the watchers

[morganjary]

I love that this set has so much contented to LoR, it makes it feel so more unified

[kakkaohjus]

I think for Ecliptic Vaults, the Bank's public areas may be in Piltover but I bet Jinx breached the physical location of the Vaults from underneath them in Zaun.

[jukscat]

12:20 / 14:09 this could also reference reindeers, because in finnish poro means reindeer.

[yuukifenia]

Kent mentioned in one of the games on Morts channel (conveniently also titled with Kent in it) about Ekko. Basically they wanted a bridge between Zaun and Piltover but currently not many if any make sense. They decided to use Ekko as in the end of Arcane he forms a bond with Heimer and already has had a bond with Vi and so as a stretch were going with he's the bridge to both nations due to his relationship and inventing friendship with Heimer. They did admit it was a stretch but this was more of a necessary for game play part.

Kayle also is meant to scale from being the weakest one cost to the strongest 3 star which also similarly was game play related.

I was hoping to hear more on Ahri's ability and Ryze's portals amongst the other unique things. Maybe a follow up?

[chillmadude]

I've always seen the placidium as basically ionia's equivalent to the white house or whatever. a big important government building for government purposes. while navori is the town or city or whatever that the placidium resides.

...
idk which reading is canonical (assuming one of them is while the other isnt) but mine makes more sense in my head so imma go with that till proven otherwise

[yauma]

I don't think Jhin would have a problem joinning the others if he has to, just for the potential of drama and art. The others are probably the ones that won't like to do it. Also if this set is based on lore, giving them voice lines when you pair them together could be a nice idea, for example based on traits. Imagine a quote for jhin if you pair him with sona, vi, garen and zed or if you build a teamcomp half noxus half Ionia, it would be interesting.

[MrSoupsHouseofHorror]

The brown poro looks just like Willump's reindeer skin, so I'd say it's a reindeer poro.

Also, they should have swapped Ekko in Piltover for either blitz or Camile. Or, if they wanted to keep the "it can be either Piltover or Zaun" champion, Seraphine makes way more sense for that concept. And how are they going to have Glasc Industries as a location, but Renata isn't a champion this set?

[charliepea]

I still don't get why Rito did not give Kled a bit of connection to Bandle City. It's already stated in his bio he came from there but they should at least acknowledge his yordle nature in the set. Sure he's Noxian but he's still Bandle.

[saphirepuma]

Hey, can you make a video on canon vs non-canon league stories? Like is Heimerdinger a well respected leader in piltover or does he have a shop with ziggs where they pretend to be people with magic dust? As a long time viewer and lore reader it gets really confusing

[moebelhausmann]

Viego beeing a 1gold is kinda weird considering he is literally the King of the Shadow Isles

[Slymeh]

So uh... 13:26 Zed's shadow is T posing for like half a second then disapears xD

[thomasway]

I hope this means we will be getting more Universe stories from now on, I’ve been aching for more league stories.
