    An extra bit of lore on Kindred, I may be getting the minutia a bit off, but the general gist of it is:
    Lamb understands feelings, but cannot feel them. Wolf can feel emotions, but cannot understand them.
    Some of their dialogue shows this, as they often converse between each other:
    Lamb asks Wolf what hunger feels like, as she knows what it is, and understands it, but cannot feel it.
    Wolf replies stating that hunger is always there and that he doesn't like it, but Wolf doesn't understand why he feels this way.

      "A long hunt with no kill."

      There's also the theory that Lamb is blind and Wolf is deaf; Lamb asks Wolf what people see them as, and Wolf asks Lamb what people sound like. Along with the feelings and emotions that you mentioned already, it's like when Grey Man split themself in two, the two halves had to share feelings and senses between them, which is a really cool concept 😊

      In general Kindred just has some of the best voice lines and VA of any character in the game imo. There are a lot of stand outs, but the duality of lamb and wolf is captured so perfectly and so many of their lines are so poetic and thought provoking. My personal favorite is "Tomorrow is a hope, never a promise." which I think just encapsulates the champion so well.

    My interpretation has always been that Lamb is the Cello and Wolf the Piano. The reason for this being that Lamb's voicelines in game are all very sombre, I remember reading and listening somewhere that her walk animation is more like a funural march. Wolf's voicelines on the otherhand are more playful, sometimes even innocent but the given to wild frezy when he senses prey nearby.

    • @Reshapable
      @Reshapable Рік тому +46

      I lack musical education to back this up but this does seem sort of a running theme with the two, what is expected of one is somewhat embodied by the other. Also the piano has an energetic phase I tie to the excitement of wolf's hunt. But it's only the music thats energetic, it doesn't instill that in the listener because only wolf is excited. Lamb is instead deliberate and uncompromising like the Cello.

    • @bloodknyte

The grace of Lamb, or the Playfulness of wolf in the piano. The sombreness of Lamb and the predatory nature of Wolf in the cello. Another allusion to how they used to be one being. I personally prefer the interpretation of Wolf as the Piano and Lamb as the cello due to the subversion of expectations, but I think there is still validity to both interpretations.

    Kindred is one of my favorite characters lore-wise in League. One of their stories, "A Good Death" is easily one of my favorite stories, only second to "The Bird and the Branch," which was released for Taliyah. Everything about them, their music, dialogue, everything catches such a perfect, mystical, mythological vibe that personifies death in a way I've never seen before. And when you have to write a version of death in a world where gods walk the earth, and immortal beings exist in practicality, you really have to give off the feeling that Kindred is something that cannot be stopped, and that they are inevitable. Symbolism is a thing that is so closely tied to death, and the designers at Riot do it so well with Kindred.

      Another thing I liked about “A Good Death” was that, when the main character first encountered Kindred, they weren’t coming for her, but instead she found them. It’s like a close call to death, as she was the only survivor of an incident that killed everyone else.
      If a person is not at their time, Kindred won’t come for them, as such with the main character of the story. It wasn’t her time, so they let her go, despite Wolf’s want to chase her. When it was finally her time, they arrived and took her life with Lamb’s Arrow, the woman accepting her death.

We actually know of some others through Legends of Runeterra like "the masked mother" and "the etherfiend" and all of them would indeed die or rather cease to exist if people stop believing. And also in old lore kindred would have been considered the strongest champion of all of them. Also stronger then mordekaiser which always bothered me considering he literrally conquered death itself which automatically makes him stronger than kindred. And beeings like Asol, Bard, soraka, mordekaiser, aatrox or fiddle are far beyond kindred in terms if Power. She is probably closer to the lesser demons like nocturne, Evelynn tahm kench etc. who are not part of the big ten like fiddle.

    Kindred is by far and away my favorite character Riot has ever made. There's just so much thought and detail put into every aspect of them. The idea to use a lamb and a wolf (predator and prey) as the two halves. The duality between their personalities and how they both "know" different aspects of life and death and compliment each other. How their theme is I'm pretty sure the shortest champion theme out of them all. but packs so much character and depth into, emphasized even more by their lore. AND the sheer fact that in their lore and other short stories they even took the time to include how other in universe cultures have different interpretations and reverences toward death much how real life cultures do. And lastly I don't know if you caught it, but in their short champ trailer, the story mentions a pale lonely man who split himself in two, implying even the "original" death, grim reaper whatever, grew lonely and created kindred.
    Sorry for the ramble, Its just so interesting to me how much thought and layering went into just 1 single character.

      if you struggle with jungle, try lane kindred. adc and mid are both strong options and are usually easier for people to get into. unlike traditional adcs in the jungle kindred needs to be a rank or two above with positioning and confidence. people camp marks so you always need a friend or good teammate to rotate

    i had to come back and watch this again since this is my favorite character from the game from lore and design alone. gameplay? a different discussion entirely. despite what you said in the video, you actually were spot on. you got their whole relationship dynamic down just from the two instruments alone and i can totally understand why you love this one a lot, as i do myself. the concept of death itself being written and designed as characters is really cool to me in how such an existential concept is interpreted by artists and writers

    Another great video, and such a good song and champion for this autumn season. I again will say that a few suggestions for this season that would be good is Evelynn, Agony's Embrace, as well as Warwick, the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun. They might be a bit easier to figure out then an embodiment of death.

    i just discovered your channel, so i'm a bit late, but i love this series. For me as a lore enjoyer, this game has 2 genius champions: Kindred and Jhin, the storywriting for these characters is unmatched, not just in league but in all fiction, i put them on par with Arthas from WoW, who for me is the best written fictional character. (your reaction of Invincible is how i found you) Great content, definitely subbed, it is hard to guess just for the music alone what the character is and it is impressive how accurate your assumptions are despite this!

    I love this series listening, guessing and reading all at the same time it fascinates me on how by music and a simple piece of an art you can almost to actually explaining who is the character and what are they being describe. I am so happy with every episode of this series you and we learn something new.
    Hoping to see in the next videos due to their wonderful music is

  • @fear606
    @fear606 Рік тому +2

    One thing I have noticed, is the first set (IDK what you'd call it) it starts with the calm consistent piano melody, sort of representing the every days of living life and the idea of life being beautiful. Hence Lamb's line in game "Beauty fades, that is why it is beautiful." The strings kick in, signifying death looming on life's horizon. The piano kicks up, the strings start to overpower it, as if they are in a chase, a Hunt. Then eventually the keys softly and suddenly stop. Lamb's hunt has ended swiftly and suddenly. The 2nd set starts, but its MUCH more frantic, hectic, animalistic. It's comes to a struggle, before, as with the end of the first, the keys end, and the strings remain. Wolf's Chase ending with a struggle. The keys represent life, and the strings death. The notes played by the keys are short and light. The strings are looming and heavy. AMAZING piece, amazing imagery, and my favorite champ.

    Notice how in the beginning of their theme, when the piano plays swiftly down at 0:11, a lower piano tone follows it. The lighter piano is the lamb and the wolf follows her. Composing a balance and rythm between each other.

    Man with this analysis it's another one to the list of the songs of my favorite champs you've analyzed dear mr. Meatball, and it feels great and I really appreciate it. The insight you give and the breakdown of songs about characters you've never known anything about before is really enjoyable and I get happy everytime I see one of your analysis. As I commented the last time, it would be cool if in the future you analized Rell's, Aphelios', Jhin's and Swain's themes, although some of those champions aren't as popular and a couple of those songs are very lyrical and I don't know if it would fit on the format of this series. Anyway, great video as always Marco, hope you keep making the great content you make.
