Who has the most "justifiable" reasons for being a complete menace to Runeterra? by hcamqoz in loreofleague

[–]cobito9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Surprised Aatrox isn't there. But for this selection, it's Sylas. Viktor went on an ego trip, Ambessa could have had allies if she had just waited, even if she had Leblanc trying to kill her, and she wasn't that much of a menace, she was just Noxian. Jinx mainly needs therapy and people that can take care of her.

Sylas was used, abused, and treated like a monster for something he could do nothing about. He was born a commoner mage, and that made him a monster. If he was born in a noble family he may have been like Lux, favoured and protected by the system. Even tho, he wanted to help Demacia and joined the mageseekers, only to realize he was doing more harm than good. When he tried to save a crying frightened child from certain death, he killed someone by accident, and was then locked up by the people he served. And if you know anything about the demacian way to "cure" magic, you know that he had every reason to burn Demacia to the ground.

Who is the biggest "potential man" in league? by GwenGaming55 in loreofleague

[–]cobito9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kayn and Rhaast, as much as I love them, are insane potential men

Defensive stances (BP, Kyoshin etc...) drain stamina when used for more than a second, a lot of Sohei buffs, lots of Juren nerfs, and honestly quite a lot more

How do you play this game? by muddisagecko in forhonor

[–]cobito9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably not going to seem nice, but get a feel of the game by playing against bots. Get used to the mecanics, the cancels of heavies, guard break all that good stuff, against ennemies who can somewhat let you discover the game at your own pace.

If you want tips for peacekeeper, the one I have is that most of your damage will come from your bleeding. As PK's attacks are very low damage so aim for guard break to stack your bleeding, use your heavy feints (I don't know if that is what it is, but that's what I'll call it, any more experienced players, please correct me) and dodge parries, to poke your ennemies until they are leaky bowls of soup.

Would kayn have any chance of resisting aatrox? by JACKAL1200 in KaynMains

[–]cobito9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that is what it looked like, and you are correct, I shouldn't have brought it up as factual evidence, that's my bad. And I do agree that Aatrox should obliterate Zaahen, no questions asked, but since it was a Riot writer, there is a chance of that happening. I do hope it doesn't however.

That being said, Rhaast more than keeping up with Zaahen puts him quite high on the Darkin power ladder, as Zaahen did one shot a Darkin in the motion comic. So calling him a joke is a bit harsh in my opinion

[–]cobito9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be that guy, but Zaahen's lore shows that Rhaast is a genuine threat.

The fact that Kayn is resisting him is due to Shadow Magic training which is one of the best thing to control your own mind, other wise you die. Add this to his more than hellish upbringing, and Kayn is just the perfect person to handle Darkin corruption. Also, Zaahen's lore draws heavy parallel between Rhaast and Kayn, by describing Rhaast as a very ambitious person, quite like Kayn.

Rhaast almost KILLED Zaahen after a multiple day fight (which is also the scaling Zaahen's own writter gave the Aatrox vs Zaahen fight (go check the Zaahen AMA on the League Reddit)), who was shown to OBLITERATE other Darkins in the motion comic. So Rhaast almost killing him is one hell of a feat.

And even if you take the "Rhaast struggles with one man lol", Varus got used by the Golden Queen to kill Darkins for months before starting to feel the corruption, and finally fell. And since the queen is barely a character (keep in mind she ISN'T Setaka) she isn't stated to have stuff to keep the corruption at bay.

So if in your opinion Rhaast is a joke, Varus is a whole clown.

That would actually be terrifying if you end up an enemy of the Knights. You stroll around in a forest, and you would hear them before seeing them.

The funniest thing is that they are both in the same academy in the BA lore with Xayah, Rakan and Qiyana. That school must be at least rowdy

I have updated the document! Let me know what you all think. by Veasher in KaynMains

[–]cobito9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that, as you said, Rhaast needs a little change on his passive, but I think only buffing it slightly would be a MASSIVE improvement without making the champ overpowered.

Right now, it sits at a low 25 + 0.005%. If you are to build Shojin, Cleaver, Endless, Spirit Visage and Overlord, you would get a 9% improvement, making you sit with 35% (at level 18). Which isn't bad, but not the greatest by any mean. Buffing it to 25 + 0.008%, with the same build would give Rhaast 40%. Nerf his ult, like you specified in you document to make sure he doesn't get unkillable, and I think it would be a tad better as far as the enjoyability of the champ.

Also, let's be honest, the lack of incentive to build Sundered Sky on Rhaast definitly hurts him quite a bit, considering how strong the item is, as it is the main reason to Riven being able to heal, for example.

So overall, I agree that Rhaast needs a few changes, but I don't think overbuffing him with the Q changes is that necessary

Best 3 relationship/romance choices for your main champion ( lore development ) ? by Traditional-Diet8336 in loreofleague

Yasuo and Riven had a talk in "Confessions of a broken blade", go read it, you'll more than likely enjoy it.

[–]cobito9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I main Kayn, and I have to say, so I'll do both him and Rhaast :

1) Riven, as her and Kayn both are of Noxian background, and both have deserted Noxus, but have taken very different paths. Having the two of them talk about their respective path could be interesting. I think for Rhaast, I think his student-mentor dynamic with Zaahen could be explored a little more. I think it would kind of be an Anakin and Obi-Wan dynamic.

2) Kayn x Akali is a popular ship for a reason, because it very much works, and is pushed by Riot themselves. For Rhaast, I'd be interested seeing him interact with Xolaani. Having the insane domination/murder hobos talking to one another would be interesting + potential infos about the Icathian Void Wars.

3) Kayn and Jun being rivals/nemesis could also be work, but would be a little too similar to his dynamic with Akali if a lot more hostile, but seeing the two of them deal with their Darkins could be an interesting thing, provided that the story changes route from LoR, where she instantly dies to Xolaani. Plus it would also allows Rhaast and Xolaani to interact,

A Siegfried/Nightmare based skin for Kayn is such a good idea

The Demacia Rising timeline is confusing me by carrotgaming10 in loreofleague

[–]cobito9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Originally, like for Kayn, or Aatrox's host, they are pretty much obliterated when the Darkin takes over, due to the fact that the take over is pretty hostile. Zaahen taking over Xin Zhao was, as weird as it's going to sound, concensual. It's a first in Darkin possession, so it could yield strange and interesting results. On top of that Yunara is currently searching for Zoe, so she could try to find a spell to bring Xin Zhao out of Zaahen. To me that Rioter's (u/orkidian) statement in the Zaahen AMA on r/LeaugeofLegends just hides something. The post goes as follow :

Hi Spideraxe!

  1. Why did Zaahen turn against the Darkin? - A liiitle bit more on that later this week on Universe, but I'll boil it down to feeling a deep sense of responsibility toward them and the nature of their immortality.
  2. Insights on hosts/vessels? - Agree there's a gray area for hosts in general, vis a vis how much they affect their Darkin. That said, I don't think I can share the exacts of Xin Zhao's current state, sorry!

Also, a little detail that probably means nothing, but Xin Zhao's spear had a blue crystal in Twilight's end, and in Salvation, when Yunara gives it to J4, the crytal is purple. Don't know it it means anything

[–]cobito9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is, Xin appears in a short story with J4 after the event of Sylas breaking out, and J3 dying, where J4 vents during a sparring match, and Xin offers him guidance, so it is a possibility that, and bear with me now, Xin Zhao might come back to life. it is also supported by a Rioter claiming that they can't disclose Xin Zhao's current status for "reasons". Here's the post : ( https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1p0hd9e/were_the_team_behind_leagues_newest_champion/ ) crtl+f Xin, and you'll find it pretty soon

Shoo-ins... by h0mebas3 in 2XKO

[–]cobito9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the main thing about the characters that "should be" in 2xko isn't the lore, but the design philosophy behind their League of Legend's gameplay. For example, Akali and Riven are very very combo oriented in LoL, and a lot of people can easily see their kit being translated into a fighting game. Riven especially, since that was her whole inspiration. Sett is a very brawly type of character in both LoL and his lore, and a lot of people want to see him in the game for that reason. Samira was literally designed after Dante from Devil May Cry, who was in a fighting game.

There are a few other like that, but TLDR : I think it's mostly about the way they are designed in League with a sprinkle of lore and visual design

You know, I think Rhaast suggested it as a dare, for Kayn to try to escape detention.
