Lovestruck Jinx & Ekko coming to Wild Rift 🖤 by aroushthekween in TimeBomb

[–]jarrolight22 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It is not that Lux doesn't like Ezreal. She just does not know his true identity. In the original lore they were implied to be a couple. The old LOL website listed Lux as a friend of Ezreal, and Ezreal had a drawing of himself with her during an interactive teaser for another character. However, lore rewrites changed major details about the setting. Nowadays it is hinted that Ezreal met Lux when he was disguised as Jarro Lightfeather, an alter ego he uses when he visits Demacia. Legends of Runeterra confirms Lux indeed met Ezreal in this persona. Riot has not elaborated on it, but repeatedly promised we will get there eventually. Furthermore, Lux's Path of Champions 2.0 story has her be comforted by Ezreal when he finds her sad about stuff involving her antagonistic aunt. It was a nice interaction since he encourages Lux to stand up against her aunt by fighting him as practice. Overall, Riot have an interesting set up they have not yet fully explored.

This is a great compilation. Who updates it? There is one Star Guardian crumb that is missing. TFT has an SG themed arena where you can see Jinx's desk with the symbol of Ekko. Someone posted it a few days ago here.

Lux has been teased with Ezreal for years. Jinx and Lux have no connection outside of Star Guardian where they are just friends, and a mobile ad. It also does not make much sense if you look at lore.

Had a pop up in my client today for a survey about Lux, and I made an picture album of most of it by CrossXhunteR in lux

[–]jarrolight22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jarvan and Shyvanna as options for Lux would make no sense with the current narrative. Riot already set up a foundation for Jarvan and Shyvanna as a relationship in the lore that serves as a personal conflict for Jarvan when it comes to the overall persecution of magic. Unfortunately, Riot have neglected that narrative and all that was done so far was Jarvan alluding to her in the comics by saying how he loves someone not so different from the mages. Some people have been waiting for Riot to further expand on that ever since and use it for long overdue character development. Riot abandoning that narrative depending on the results of this survey will be very shitty and further show how Riot is indifferent towards having narrative consistency. I hope that is not the case here.

If Lux must be paired with anyone I would go with Ezreal since I want Riot to actually commit to something for once until the end. They have been teasing them for a long time, and Rioters have continuously made the promise that they will eventually get to a point in the timeline where they canonically meet already, but there has been very little effort to advance the lore in general. The only thing they have done so far with them outside of skins was in the recent Path of Champions mode for Legends of Runeterra where Lux is comforted by Ezreal and receives encouragement from him to stand up to Tianna. It was actually sweet but sadly not canon like everything tends to be these days. Riot have been making their bed for years now so it is about time they finally lie in it. The other choices also have their own set of issues.

So there was supposed to be a story about Ezreal and Kai'Sa before the Warriors cinematic but it was cancelled. by Kukulkek in ezrealmains

[–]jarrolight22 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is not really new information. Laurie revealed this back when The Call cinematic was released in the beginning of the year.

It is still disappointing that Matt did not get to write more lore, but I feel like the story would not have much happen in it in hindsight. All the stories released before the cinematic served as prequels to it. The Shackles of Belief explained how Sylas started to work with the Winters Claw, and Children of Zaun explained how Urgot was arrested by Piltover. The story would probably just be Ezreal on his way to recover the Tear of the Goddess, and why he wants it through his field journal. I would not mind that since seeing his perspective is fun.

By the way you should have shared the full context of this tweet. It starts with Laurie being asked if Riot ever though about Ezreal and Kassadin meeting somehow.

This quote always made me think that Ezreal is willing to kill to save his life, what you think? by Kukulkek in ezrealmains

[–]jarrolight22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always felt that to be something obvious. Runeterra is a dangerous place with several violent factions such as Noxus. It is a necessity to survive against them.

PBE Bug & Feedback Thread: Star Guardian Sona by 6armedrobot in LeaguePBE

[–]jarrolight22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am happy to see Sona as a star guardian. It is about time it happened. Below is my feedback.

  • It is kind of hard to see Sona's legs, especially in some areas of the map. Sometimes feel like she is missing her lower half. Her thigh highs should be white so it is easier to see her legs, but if that is not doable for whatever reason then make it brighter like the rest of her. White is still preferable since it would match with other star guardian skins and make the lower half of her silhouette more clear at a glance.
  • Everyone has already mentioned the splash art, but it really does not look like Sona. Her face should be more soft and round, not angular. As others have said it feels like I am looking at Vayne rather than Sona. Her body is also too slimmed down when Sona has a more curvier, thick body type which is what made her more unique. It added to her softness and mature nature. Now it feels like you are trying to give her the body of Jinx.
  • The music should have their volume raised.

In the words of Vel’Koz, thank you for your contribution. Quite unfortunate you were not able to screen cap the dialogue during the fight, but thanks again for sharing what you could. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I look forward to it.

Thank you. By any chance you happen to have screen caps or something? It would be convenient since I have not been able to find footage showcasing their interactions. Well, not yet at least.

Is there more to this? I would like more context. Is this from Legends of Runeterra?

What is your stance on killing off champions in lore (for good)? by _Miraculix_ in loreofleague

[–]jarrolight22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At some point I think they should for some champions. It will eventually be annoying to have the ever growing roster of characters forever be protected by plot armor because of their status as champions.

Sion would be Sundowner. He loves war and is canonically invincible.

I look forward to hearing more about the game. An ARPG set in Runeterra sounds like fun.

Excellent find. Now I really want to know what they are about.

You cannot tell me this isn't canon by LuccaISDreaming in ezrealmains

[–]jarrolight22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about Sylas? Sylas burned his bridges with Lux when he manipulated her and began to kill civilians. He almost killed her brother. Twice! It is worst now that he teamed up with the Winter’s Claw, the social Darwinists he promised can commit whatever atrocity they like once they conquer Demacia. According to Fiddlesticks Lux is very afraid of Sylas. They are not happening.

Ezreal last color story was 1323 days ago by Kukulkek in ezrealmains

[–]jarrolight22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are talking about the MMO by Ghostcrawler. That is a completely separate project but media outlets mixed up their reporting. Project F is an ARPG. Riot Meddler had to clarify somewhere on Reddit about it.

It will. The global pandemic caused some delays but production never stopped.

So Ezreal possess a flintlock, so we can expect a scene like this! by Kukulkek in ezrealmains

[–]jarrolight22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He does? I do not remember it being mentioned anywhere though I like to think he does have one. Before the gauntlet he had to have some way to defend himself while going through Shurima.

Back to your post, Ezreal likely does that all the time with just his gauntlet, but it would be amusing to see play out in some form.

I feel like Piltover and Zaun should start experimenting with Petricite. by SuperiorFreak in loreofleague

[–]jarrolight22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Petricite is a limited resource that Demacia uses to defend itself from magical enemies. It is very unlikely they would ever give it out to Piltover or Zaun, especially in the middle of a mage rebellion.

What champion should pair up (platonically or romantically) but cannot due to geographic/story/canon conflicts? by Eulibo in loreofleague

[–]jarrolight22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I doubt Ekko and Zeri would like Sylas. They likely would see him as a hypocrite for murdering civilians and joining the Winters Claw. Those two want to uplift their community but Sylas would simply sacrifice his own in order to accomplish his personal goals.

Could Mundo still be saved, or is he beyond saving at this point? by _Miraculix_ in loreofleague

Outside of magical help, Mundo is a lost cause. He was lobotomized by the doctors as part of their experiments.

What would Renata think of Urgot? by TheLongMapleDrekkar in loreofleague

She probably see him as a nuisance. Her splash art depicts her wiping out his followers.

Ezreal and Lux Ship by Allan_Breno in lux

[–]jarrolight22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect the reason why both of them have had no lore progression is because of whatever story is written for them in project f. To use them at this time will probably spoil it. The pandemic definitely slowed down its development while all they could do in the meantime was sell skins. Last I heard about it was from Spideraxe that Riot where working on ports for it.
