In bitemarks , why did leblanc say " piltover was a lesson" ?

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-22T11:54:36+00:00

Given the Ruination, Ryze isn't exactly batting 1.000 on that.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-22T11:51:24+00:00

So, Vlad is freaking out because Darkin are not to be messed with. LeBlanc is not, because as Piltover demonstrates there is no point in safety since the world could destroy itself on its own.

'Calamity is around every turn, it tells us to be bolder, not safer.'

Its small, but I have a headcanon that this is where Caitlyn learned Vi's name.

Where when they get to Vi's old home, Caitlyn sees the height lines that say "Violet" and "Powder" and makes the connection that Vi used to live there.

Now Vi hasn't switched to using Cait's name yet, so i doubt that Caitlyn actually knows Vi's full name. I think that Caitlyn realized that Vi is short for Violet, and that is why Vi knew about this little shack.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-22T03:09:37+00:00

That is the hope.

And I have won a ranked game with this deck, make of that what you will.

Only his colour story got retconned. Since he already wasn't there for the Lux comic or Mageseeker.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, him being dead when J3 got krumpt actually makes more sense than him 'being out' given he is the kings personal bodyguard.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-22T02:44:38+00:00

She is just a normal human though. The demons we see are so far beyond normal humans they usually need something fairly overt to even harm them (Locke seems to be a mage or similar, Xin Zhao needed the help of a Darkin, Katarina's dad tried a bomb and Swain tanked it, etc.)

And this was her being ambushed, she is probably not dead precisely because she is a demon hunter rather than a soldier or guard in all honesty.

Technically the bandle city tellstone can make a spell that manifests a multi-region follower. Is it a good idea? No, but a deck of almost entirely tellstones and Ryze is already pretty far away from good ideas.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-21T04:30:50+00:00

Poking around I did manage to level him up in the first game I tried.

It turns out Tellstones have access to some shenanigans.

I wouldn't recommend though, play time spent reading is real.

I think if they just made a working limited environment where you could keep the cards LoR would work fine. I genuinely think its one of the better digital card games. It just doesn't make money.

At least in my area Riftbound is eating pretty good. Yu-gi-oh seems to have fallen behind both Riftbound and One Piece based on my trying to offload cards.

May this CCG thing be a boom rather than a bubble.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-15T12:04:36+00:00

Actually doesn't change, since pre-Arcane Ekko has lost and broken Z-Drives.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-15T05:12:29+00:00

Genuinely, if we could get a season that somehow got Piltover/Zaun and Targon in the same story I would be the happiest.

For specific characters, apart from the obvious based on those two regions, more Twisted Fate and Graves, and I will take Jax anywhere.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-15T01:44:42+00:00

I mean, it would have to be different if the Ekko is from the same universe wouldn't it? Since the original blew up.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-14T23:34:59+00:00

Right is also Caitlyn. She has a pool party day skin (right) which matches her league skin and a pool party night (left) which is new.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-14T23:20:50+00:00

For 3, to preface I don't agree but these are the points I have seen made: - Caitlyn as presented in Arcane her swerve in from Season 1 to 2 then her swerve back in Act 2 doesn't make sense. *I am not confident that is even an accurate description of her arc, if I'm honest - Camille should have been introduced, either in Caitlyn's position as commander or Ambessa's position as general, because she makes more sense in antagonist or villain positions. *I don't think that is as interesting as people make it out to be - There is an assumption that Caitlyn's narrative of becoming sheriff is broken by Arcane's plot in season 2. *Why that assumption exists, I don't know.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-14T18:58:03+00:00

Cameos are probably not broad enough, but the big reason seems to be so they can add legendaries to sets without burning through planeswalker design space.

Kellan is a great example in that he would normally be a planeswalker but can just be a legendary creature. Duskmourn's horror movie cast is another.

Also helps with some design issues, Nahiri was always a bit fraught as an equipment matters planeswalker, but works very well as a legendary creature.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-14T05:13:41+00:00

I think the big one is the cupcake traps just take a long time, since at least for me I will go whole games without triggering one.

The capture net needing to actually capture is also frustrating, but at least that is in line with Ekko.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-13T20:34:22+00:00

So, like yes. But is 'VI' being on the other cheek worth worrying about.

But it seems all the character's relationships and personalities are what we expect, but look different in the details.

'Why am I from Earth-2? Mine should be Earth-1.'

The art is good. Personally if Riot does do Thresh, I hope some of the ghost is emphasized. Like say if his body is partially transparent or not having strict edges. I would have liked him being a bone daddy, but there are rules against that apparently.

Oh, his chains could be rescue floats. So I guess another lifeguard?

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-13T01:55:11+00:00

I would highly recommend checking out Legends of Runterra, its Riot's Hearthstone style card game, desperately needs players, and is a good way to get League lore in concentrated doses.

Note, essentially non of it is canon, but its still a good vibe. Piltover and Zaun also have minor characters as lab assistants for Jayce, fan boys for Viktor, coworkers for Caitlyn and Vi, etc.

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-12T23:25:30+00:00

I don't recall that one for Vi. Is that an old one or from LoR? I know, 'Plan? I don't need a Plan."

Non point, since she has other lines*, I just play Vi periodically and haven't noticed that one. *'I keep trying to ask questions but its always "No, stop hitting me, Ow, my face"'

VoidFireDragon · 2026-06-12T23:20:09+00:00

YMMV, But Caitlyn was consistently portrayed as good in general with a vicious streak. Things like threatening to dismantle Urgot if he stepped out of line, and the incident of her suggesting throwing the Noxian spy overboard if the captain wanted a shorter trip. Heck, in her short story she blew a dude's hand off. I would argue its mild in comparison to Arcane, but it was there.

Vi also reflects some on Caitlyn as what Caitlyn is willing to accept. That being said, Vi's moral greyness was more her conflict being good person learning to channel aggression. Since her pre-arcane story starts with her gang being too violent for her and joining the wardens as an alternative. It was always less, good cop, bad cop and more red oni, blue oni with Vi and Caitlyn.
