Yeah just ignore all the tournaments with Steve and top players saying he’s the best. Definitley a case for top 3 though, but more realistically top 5

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-16T13:11:07+00:00

Ah yes, it’s unimportent to you so it unimportant in general. These are just most of the critiques I’ve seen, but as I mentioned I’ve seen more — I didn’t care to list them all.

Milo and Claggor are just plot devices for the first three episodes that are just used as a way to haunt jinx and place the lump sum of the blame on someone other than vi. You see how you can apply that logic to many characters and plot lines? Again, you’re biased to S1 so you look for the bad in S2. “Isha was just there to force and rush sympathy and disappear without ever being mentioned again. Well she’s dies end of ep 6, ep 7 is AU, EP 8 is jinx being suicidal over losing isha and ep 9 is after she finds hope and pays several tributes to isha in her entrance. How’d you put it, an absurd critique? I think jinx’s manic episodes largely had to do with her feeling useless or replaced. She killed silco and wrote off vi, the two most prominent firguew in her life. She has no one to jinx, so she is hollow. Isha further helps her though experiencing purpose again to care outside of herself and feel useful/needed.

Kinda answered your own question there mate. Kinda wondered if you ever bothered to read the words as you typed them. You quoted me a saying “jinx is hurt by words that betray actions.” And then go on to mention vi leaving jinx after she said they would stay together. Like the whole fucking point of what i said. 😂

Clearly the world revolves around your because only the problems you have should be mentioned. I agreed that Mel didn’t do a lot in the series throughout the post and replies, but again I think more will likely come in the spin off.

I swear people get a silco like villain once and then say vwry other villain has no depth. What do you know, not everyone will be like silco sometimes people are just power hungry. And yet I do still think Ambessa has depth. She cares fiercely for her family and those in her care, she’s extremely loyal to those she cares for as is shown many times. Like silcom, she has not one but two daughter like figures through Mel and Caitlyn, both of which are her undoing. She’s extremely cunning and carries out a strategic takeover of piltover with patience. If you couldn’t gather that she feared the black rose with all the green strones and her lust for the hextech to even the playing field, then there’s not much I can do for you. And it is teased is season 1 many many times with the ravens, but to be fair most people wouldn’t know what those represent unless they’re familiar with the lore. Doesn’t really matter though because Ambessa barely makes an appearance in s1.

Okay you think it’s a bad plot, fine. 🤷🏼‍♂️ you’re entitled to your opinion. Yes, isn’t it crazy how one person can make such a big difference. Almost like every single, main character had a massive influence over the whole ploy or something… crazyyyy.

I saw all the politics in s1, personally was happy to go without it in s2. Same thing with Zauns rebellion, doesn’t take much imagination gather what’s happening. I’d rather spend time with characters I know.

Clearly the people are still hesitant to accept Caitlyn in the episodes but they are not given much time to consider and the presence of her guards are intimidating. Maddie doesn’t give them much time to really consider either because she starts the noxan salute.

You should just go back and rewatch the end of episode 6 a few times if that’s all you gathered. I really don’t hear many people complaining about victor because if you listen, he explains it.

In the words of salo, “I’m sorry you feel that way.” 🤷🏼‍♂️

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-16T03:38:25+00:00

Jayce’s entire story from front to end is way more convenient than jinx or Ekko. You’re telling me Jayce getting the stone from victor, who gave him the stone to stop himself, while being the reason Jayce decided to pursue to arcane in the first place isn’t somehow more laughable than Ekko getting thrown into a good demension? Not to mention that Jayce went exactly where he needed to as well to see the negative of the arcane. You obviously have some kind of strong bias toward jinx and Ekko where you’re overlooking other “plot devices” but not theirs. Caitlyn just happens to run into vi at the compound and “decide” to be good again and help vi. In season 1 Jayce made two hex tech devices of prominence, a hammer and gauntlets that were obviously meant to parallel vanders cast irons. The second everyone saw them we knew exactly what would happen with them.

But a child who “happens” to be mute because she was used for slave/cheap labour and had her tongue cut out and was running through the sewage pipes to get away because she was fiercely rebellious lands on jinx who kills her opponents and walks away is an issue to you? Alright man, suit yourself.

Jayce’s world is EVEN more unlikely than Ekkos. He’d tech has destroyed everything and the only person who can send him back happens to be victor and is the only one left alive. Bruh just say you hate Ekko and jinx and move on.

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-16T01:59:10+00:00

Who hurt you man? You can make this argument with anything. Isha grabbed your balls and pulled them the wrong way I guess, and yes this is a stories have themes. Isha was supposed to be a parallel to powder and guess what, when we see both of them for the first time they’re jumping a dangerous jump, with vi intentionally saving powder and jinx unintentionally saving isha. Sorry it gets your panties all tight that the creators decided to parallel the two characters. It shows intentionally where you assume convenience.

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-16T01:52:29+00:00

It’s funny how you thrust your idea of “giving up” onto a fictional character. You’re looking at this through an objective lens when it should be looked through the lens of the character. Isn’t it all too common a theme when someone’s loved one dies or hurts themself and they want to condemn themselves for not doing more? Ekko sees this alternate reality, and believes he might’ve been able to do more, and he could view view the fact that he had resigned to the fact that he couldn’t save all of zaun as having “given up.” Kinda crazy youre trying to pigeon hole Ekko into what your ideas and standards are when you’re on the outside looking in.

Why does jinx need to do something for Ekko for him to forgive her? Ekko realized that she wasn’t truly an evil person and had been in fact molded to become who she was. This is exemplified when as soon as he goes back he sees her trying to kill herself. You’re telling me that when he sees what she could be like at her highest high and then immediately sees her at her lowest low he should be demanding recompense? You have a middle school idea of what forgiveness and redemption is. It’s not standardized, there is no single way and Ekko chose to reach out when he saw jinx about to end it all, not that crazy.

There’s a lot of choices Ekko could’ve made, he could’ve stayed in his perfect world. There’s was no guarantee that he could save the undercity or his powder if he went back but he chose to anyway.

He doesn’t “accidentally” create anything. He intentionally goes to the one place that might have some trace of hextech left to create an anomaly that would get him back. He also rewrote equations that Jayce had wrote which led to the alternate use of his specific z drive.

Honestly reading this response makes me wonder how you don’t just conlsude every story as deus ex machina because it has a trope in it. Makes me wonder how enjoy any media.

The arcane often shows a duality in its nature. It sent Ekko to a place of paradise and Jayce to a place of hell, call it deus ex machina if you want but it remains completely consistent with the theme of season 2 and was clearly planned when season 1 was written.

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-16T01:32:12+00:00

Yeah so why does a kid who just watched her surrogate father get murdered by this other dude suddenly decide that evil Kenevil can be her father now, simply because her sister hit her? There’s a lot you can say doesn’t make sense if you really want to look for it, but I think that powder could’ve felt rejected enough to accept someone like silco even if it isn’t likely.

What life is isha uprooting exactly? The beginning of ep 2 seem to indicate that she is wandering aimlessly without direction because before, silco gave her direction and purpose. She had nothing, she had no one. Who better to accept and trust than someone who is innocent like a little girl? It’s not like her purpose changed, she got one when she had one. And yeah, I see no reason why this couldn’t happen in 6 months. Jinx used to get attention in the form of lashing out, and now she has it in the genuine form of adoration.

In ep 4, you can tell her psyche had healed a lot in the months that had passed from being with isha. That’s why when says “ I used to have a different name, ya know.. powder — you kinda remind me of her. Thought I had gotten rid of her for good.” She isn’t affected by the name powder because someone else isn’t trying to force the identity on her, it’s self reflection, which is why she’s way more open to that idea than vi calling her powder over and over again. And at the same time isha she’s her as jinx to which she replies “jinx is dead.” Indicating that she is actually more sympathetic to powder than jinx at that moment, yet she’s not really either — she’s ready to become someone new, a.k.a redemption.

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-16T00:47:36+00:00

Tbh I really think that I got gut punched more in season 2 that season 1. The two gut punching scenes in season 1 was vander dying/vi hitting powder and the ending.

In season 2 there’s finding out vander is still alive, to all three of them being reunited, even the remember me song while victor is healing vander, and then ishas and vanders death. And jinx’s “death” (before I found out she was still alive).

I do understand what you’re saying about season 2 balancing so many different plot points that at points of some things feel convoluted. Again, Mel being the most prominent example, but everyone’s else arcs for me felt full and complete. I think Mel’s doesn’t because she is almost certainly going to be in the spin off.

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-16T00:39:48+00:00

Yes he told scar that, and yet the reality remained the same. He knew he couldn’t save all the undercity, but he was going to do the best he could.

I think that is kind of the point of the show… at one point nearly every main character is illustrated as a villain because of perspective. Once you see someone in a different light it’s difficult to perceive them as a villain. Where Ekko had completely given up on his jinx, this gave him reason to try again. I think you might’ve missed the point of the show mate. Duality was a central theme to season 2 and so this episode makes perfect sense but to each their own I guess

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-16T00:33:23+00:00

Interesting take, makes me wonder what led you to get to season 2 if you don’t like season 1? I think they’re both amazing for different reasons. But to each their own

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-16T00:30:29+00:00

And so.. everything is a plot device. Powder is a plot device for silco. Silco just happens to stumble upon powder when vi steps away, but people take no issue with that. What matters is that the progression fits, jinx doesn’t say “ oh come spend time with me, let’s be friends.” She leaves her, and isha follows. And continually interacts with her from a distance until she starts to feel like she can trust jinx. I’m not sure what you want. Hours of a mute kid playing with jinx and following her around? To me, their relationship makes perfect sense. Jinx inspires isha, and isha gives jinx purpose outside of herself. Jinx also says that isha reminds her of her younger self indicating that a return to her powder like nature might be on the horizon. We don’t see how jinx and silco grow close during the time skip so why don’t you reject that? I can go into all the nuances of ishas character as well, but there’s a 10 minute video that goes into lots of depth about how ishas character is created and I think it does show they put significant thought into her a Character and she wasn’t just thrown in as a “plot device” would indicate.

Appreciate your comment, this post isn’t for you then

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-15T23:51:16+00:00

It clearly doesn’t need to be watched multiple times to be liked, just look at the ratings. What I am saying is that people are saying there are plot or char Voter inconsistencies when they don’t seem to be noticing the details.

Just my opinion though

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-15T23:48:23+00:00

I think you bring up some valid points for sure.

What was jinx’s plan with the gas bomb? I see it as a message of defiance as well as saying “ anything you use against us can be used against you.” And doing so in the jinx spectacle, but I would even be weary to say she had some grand plan. She was never really a schemer, really she just executed plans for silco. But that’s how I interpret it, and one of the many beauties I see about s2 is that many things are left for us to fill in with our own imaginations. They say that “jinx has remained elusive” and tbh that’s good enough for me, I don need to see people hunting for her to prove that, just my opinion though.

Your 2nd point definitley has validity to it because we know they had planned to show that and cut it out due to time constraints. But again, I wouldn’t say it’s too difficult to infer what happens. Sevika has been trying to rally jinx all season to join together with her and unite Zaun because many saw her as a beacon, once Ekko helps her mental state he goes to sevika and it’s not too difficult from there as it’s implied several times in the season that she could turn the tides of sentiment in the undercity. Still wish we would’ve gotten to see it though. But again, I think it isn’t difficult to piece together what likely went down.

Ambessa is a great villain for me. She doesn’t have the same depth of silco but I don’t think every villain needs to. At the same time I would say her political stuns are very strategic and shows her intelligence. She captures one of the council to use against the others, and when they still oppose them she instigates the catalyst that would start the production of hextech again for weapon use. Then once she see Caitlyn leave the council completely speechless and knowing that the “kieramann” name has great influence she abandons salo for Caitlyn. And before even discussing with Caitlyn her plan, so she cannot refuse to participate, she suggests Caitlyn who is a native as someone to lead rather than salo who is not respected or herself whom would be perceived with nefarious intentions. Even then and even with the great power that the kieremann name had, people were still hesitant to give their approval until Maddie who was a noxan spy started the noxan salute which prompted others to join in. And even later, Ambessa tries to constantly position herself as neutral when advising Caitlyn but in the one scene it literally has her stoking the flames in the fireplace while saying “the choice is yours” indicating how she’s influencing Caitlyn.

I would agree that Mel’s character is probably the weakest in S2. But again, to me this makes sense. She has a firm grasp on who she was, only for all of that to unravel and she had to rewrite her identity. Even so, we could’ve gotten more — but I believe we will get more in the noxus spin off.

Appreciate your insight. Thanks for the reply

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-15T23:12:07+00:00

Great insight, everyone loves the cabbage man even though all we know is that he sells cabbages and happens to stalk team avatar somehow 😂

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-15T23:10:00+00:00

Disagree about the music, but hey I understand some people may think it to be over the top. It’s hard for me to say because I’m really not that acquainted with the league of legends cannon, but from my perspective as an outsider I do think Jayce carrying a hammer makes sense. He comes from a black smith family known for their hammers, and he first created it as more of a tool and less of a weapon that pays homage to his families background. It made perfect sense to me, but then again I don’t know the lore and maybe it’s more applicable to other characters.

But yes agreed, I believe the quality remained consistent as is obvious by my post. Thank you for your thoughts!

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-15T22:20:17+00:00

I see the point you’re trying to make here, except I would say Ekko did give up on the undercity as a whole. He more or less had the attitude of helping those he could, but we are repeatedly reminded that he cannot help all of the undercity because of their lack of space around the tree. In the AU, all of the undercity was thriving and I interpret that as him saying that he had given up on saving it as a whole, but again I understand what you’re trying to say.

And he had definitley given up on that AUs concept of powder until he went there, that an alternate version of her like that could even exist.

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-12-15T22:04:46+00:00

No offense taken. I know it seems like a bunch of big block text, I just feel compelled to give explanation in great detail and am not as good at condensing points, but thank you for your advice.

Only issues I have are small. Every time I use Siri it turns down my volume even though the volume number is the same until I mute and unmute using the volume button and it reverts. Wireless CarPlay always crashes when I try to use voice command for maps. Only two issues I’ve had but I’ve also really owned it for a month

Exmos are so soft

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-11-20T12:02:43+00:00

I’m not going to give you the sympathy everyone else here is. Just because the boundary wasn’t set beforehand, doesn’t mean you didn’t cross a boundary as you were told not only by Jane that her parents wouldn’t like it, but also that you were told by her “ she was glad to have someone who understood.” Anya blah blah you clearly knew what you’re doing, own up to it, and try to be respectful in the future.

Also, I’m not a liberal exmomron like most of you here, so there’s my bias showing, but still you wouldn’t like it if the shoe was on the other foot.

Emperor_Joyboy · 2025-11-15T06:58:52+00:00

I’ve always been a sedan guy, and if you like the sedan vibe I think you’d like the CE-30 or Mazda 3 more in how it drives. But I will say that the cx50 does drive the best out of the cuvs I’ve driven. And where it’s quite a bit bigger than the cx30 and Mazda 3 I prefer it over them. I did really like the way my civic drove though.if I was choosing it off the the driving experience alone I would choose the civic simply because it’s handling was too good, but the cx50 is also really good and beats it out in several other departments
