I'm sad you didn't get to see the Fiddlesticks Cinematic. He was a reworked champion that's turned into a true horror show...I recommend reacting to that too. It's really damn good.
@@Koraki0000 no offense but it doesnt matter because the first time anyone in this comment has said anything about a scarecrow is you just now, so whether he meant to say something else or not either way my reply is true regarding to what he said.
There is an ult that turns them against you. its Renata Glasc's ult, its a wave of gas that travels forward and for a couple of secs they fight against you
You think typing "go uninstall" is toxic? Oh my dear, you've definitely never played LoL before😂 If I would do what they tell me to do in LoL, I would be💀after every game...
34:19 About your question, let me introduce you to Sylas (The guy with chains in the Warriors Cinematic that made a sword out of light) Viego (The guy with the glowing blue-green sword) and Renata. Sylas steals ults from the enemy team one at a time. Viego kills you and takes your champion for a few seconds, Renata makes you fight your own team 👍
34:40 there is actually someone that has an ult that is based on that concept, just not quite there. It's like a long wave, and if you're hit by it, for a few seconds your character begins uncontrollably auto attacking the nearest unit, prioritizing their allies first and then going down in order
These are fire for sure, but if you want even more sick cinematics, there's a ton that this vid didn't have. Like that one tornado samurai guy at 28:26 has a whole anime style video about his lore. His name is Yasuo if you want to look that one up
😂😂 the old fiddle is so different. He’s like a mean villain. The new fiddle is one of the most terrifying cinematics I’ve ever seen. Honestly they need to give him his own stand alone movie
In the gladiator scene, Draven (guy you called king) wasnt hating. He was excited that finally a worthy opponent came into the colliseum. Thats why he threw her a sword and broke her free from the chain...to have a fair fight against a worthy opponent. Great reaction!
The series began in 2003 with the release of Defense of the Ancients (DotA), a fan-developed multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) mod for the video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, The Frozen Throne in October 27, 2009 is when league of legends came out then in May 12, 2010 is when Heroes of Newerth came out and re-released as a free-to-play game on July 29, 2011 July 9, 2013 is when dota2 came out then in March 25, 2014 is when smite came out
What you said at 34:30 about a character that ults and turns another character against that team is actually sopt on. The bad guy in that video (Viego) can actually ult to take control of enemies he's slain including all of their basic abilities. The other guy with the chains in the video before that can ult to steal someone else's ult.
League of Legends was released in 2009, but began development around 2006 (or even earlier if you consider the Dota mod a prototype of League, which it basically was). Smite was released in 2014, a few months after Dota 2 was released. This doesn't mean Smite copied League's champion though, they're just both based on the same god (Anubis).
Welcome to the land of League, This Land is filled with super unique Characters, Lore. And for some weird reason, Music videos about specific skins. I highly recommend watching senna's reveal cinematic, It showcases Lucian (The man with 2 light pistols) Fighting to regain senna (they are lovers) As a side note: Lucian was the most pick ADC when he released, Even after like 15 nerfs he was still picked constantly, Even now in professional play he gets picked!
It's pretty criminal some of the videos they left out, tbh. The Fiddlesticks rework cinematic is masterful. As We Fall is beautiful. Have a peek at them, if you haven't already. :)
Well this video was just the cinematics released to hype up the new League of Legends seasons. If they tried to add in champion cinematics too, the video for be a good few hours longer 😹I agree tho, there are many other incredible cinematics (Fiddle included!). I hope Drazu reacts to more sometime in the future!
@@cillafawn281 But they should add prologues and continuations of season cinematics. Ruination cinematic starts with Lucian Saving Senna and then has 2 more videos after. 2022 cinematic has another one that shows where Kai'Sa went after going down.
This might be like half of the Cinematics/ music videos, yes the have. Music groups composed of characters in the game voice by real musical artist and rappers, they go hard
Hello there Its my honored. So far thank you and all of new comers in this fantasy world. League of legends = Runeterra lore lover i am glad you become one of new fans. As someone who has some inside infos Arcane season 2 will come maybe in 2024/25 and they allready started working on other series from other regions. May the force be with you. And may you lead the force. 🖐️
34:18 actually this cold lookin guy from this cinematic, after killing enemy can turn into him. Theres also one character that makes enemy champions attack themselves
"A computer just takes over your body and starts fighting for the other team" They actually added that a while back, it's like a moving aoe attack that, when you stand inside it, forces you to autoattack your teammates for a few seconds
I have over 4000 hours in smite and recently have picked up league for the past year and half and I will admit I havent touched smite since. SMITE has a special place in my heart
I feel like theres some league of legends songs you should listen too because they werent season thing but theyre total bangers, including K/DA's popstar, more and villain. Also one i truly think youd love whoch is True Damage - Giants
I'm glad you enjoyed these! Been playing the game following intently for about 11 years now. Would love to help provide knowledge if needed. Next step, if you love music, is to learn that RIOT GAMES is basically now a music company. Their music is SO good. So make sure to check out all their World Championship songs, as well as their side specials (KDA, rap battles, Falconshield)
Well... Answering to that concept of turning an enemy into an ally, the white haired guy that was taking souls can posses enemys he killed for a time, and other champion, make the enemies hit each other like crazys
There used to be lore for why the heroes are fighting 5v5 in the arena. That was scrapped and never replaced. There is lore for the different factions in the game warring with each other though.
28:05 these are all different locations, but roughly at the same point in time. the steampunk thing is Piltover/Zaun, the egyptian is probably Shurima and the nordic/ice is Freljord.
League is one hell of a lore iceberg. You can spend days learning about a single champion. And that's not including how they all interconnect And now you legally have to watch all of the champion cinematics.
29:07 Your not alone dude. Her name is Kai'sa and yeah she is smoking hot. 34:20 Oh there is a caracter in the game that can do that for a few sec. Not only that but if u aim her ult really good or combo it with other caracters she can take control of the entire enemy team.
I honestly didn't know the third cinematic, that one is totally new to me, and Ryze kinda resembles Liam Neeson, no? 🤔 And I can't help myself, all the cinematics don't only bring back memories, almost all of them literally make me cry. They're perfectly enacted, great story, great moments, great atmosphere, there's almost nothing bad you can say about them. The community begged Riot so long for it, and 2021, they made our wish come true with the release of Arcane. Or rather, a wish, as Arcane is just a small part of an alternative universe of the League-verse. @Drazu Empire you might even watch the Championships Cinematics. They're probably not as good, but not bad at all. It also feels like there are other cinematics missing...
Fun watch... had me cracking up man thanks... i like how you picked up on many of the champs personalities. Draven was bored... but fighting Riven looked mad fun doe. I be crying watching some of these shits too they are EPIC.
When you said; "He's gotta be nice, when the tornado dude came", that is actually one of the most played champ by the toxic community if I remember correctly.
You opened a very deep rabbit hole. The one thing Riot does better than anything else is lore. Every single champion (aside from about 10) of the 160ish champions you can play have whole storylines and backgrounds and hail from regions of the world of Runeterra that also are rich in lore and history. It's for these reasons that an MMO is in development. Too many appeared in these cinematic to explain, but the character you were asking about who "wields lightning" is actually wielding Arcane magic. He has a scroll with him that contains secrets of the World Runes, which are effectively so powerful that they could become apocalyptic if the wrong person got hold of them. Think Infinity Stones. He is their protector. And occasionally, he taps into a % of their power, but not often
Having tried Smite as a League player I see the similarity but it’s so different at the same time. But if you think “go uninstall” is toxic you don’t know toxic 😂
Annie isn't even close to the most toxic character, that spot is reserved for most adcs or mid laners. (7:50) That's also not an ult at 10:19, that's her 2nd ability if anything, which is a move speed increase. 17:14 these fights are replacements for war or arguments between nations. 18:16 that's Nasus, he hails from a land called Shurima which is based on egypt. He has a brother called Renekton who is essentially Sobek. Nasus came out on October 1, 2009. Anubis was released May 31, 2012. 22:24 Her name is Taliyah. 29:12 Her name is Kai'Sa, her suit is similar to Venom, and I doubt she's interested in much other than surviving. 34:29 Her name is Renata Glasc. The one you're watching right now is based on Viego, who can turn into your teammates, items and all, and start beating your ass.
This Electric Mage is called Ryze and could be the Thanos of league of legends bc he just collects "runes" and hides them from evil bc this things are more powerfull than infinity stones.
you know camille flying onto jhin was my wallpaaper for 4 years, because that shot is just so insane and there will never be abetter shot in lol history
The moba genre's evolution went thusly: Starcraft 1 player made custom maps spawned a popular one called Aeon of Strife. It had lanes of continuous creeps that you farmed to get stronger, buy stats, weapons, etc. and had to kill the enemy spawner. In warcraft 3, the custom map feature was also wildly popular. Several creators copied the format of AoS, but the one that started dominating because of how technically better and creative it was was Defense of the Ancients. The guy who was updating the map stopped doing so, and another guy took it up and really made sweeping changes to balance, designed new characters and really made it his. The player made custom map got so popular that e-sports leagues started popping up and people started taking notes. The original dota maker went on to make dota 2, partnered with Steam and the guy who made the map great went on to create League. A bunch of clones popped up and fizzled out-- heroes of newerth, bloodline origins. Significantly later came Smite.
I'd argue that Heroes of Newerth was a bit more than just a clone. It was really a direct successor to original Dota back at the time of release. It was Dota without the limitations of the Warcraft 3 engine, and I remember it being very popular back at it's peak. Eventually LoL started to shut it out due to having, imo, a bit of an easier learning curve and more streamlined gameplay/interfaces. Then eventually Dota 2 was made and that was pretty much the death warrant for Heroes of Newerth, as it was an official sequel and most of the people still playing HoN moved to that. Surprisingly HoN was still officially supported until June of last year though.
34:25 LMAO Little did he know, it's actually a champion & we have 3 of the stealing type of champion, Viego (the pale blue guy we see in this cinematic, Renata, Sylas whom we saw earlier the guy with the chains to his wrist)
So the scene where the big thing fell from the sky. That was galio. The girl who did that was lux. The guy with the chains is sylas and the guy he was fighting is Garen(Lux older brother). Sylas was imprisoned for being a mage or something which is illegal in that country. Rememeber Lux. Yeah shes a mage. He older brother Garen does not know. She she has to play the weak card. Acting like she isnt and all that. Funny story actually, she is the reason why sylas escaped his lock up. Guy help sme fill in the blanks here. Im not super into the lore so i only know bits and pieces
21:20 when he say's there's one missing those shiny rocks are called world runes and yeah there's one missing because Ryze(the Blue guy with a beard and also the one narrating in that cinematic) hasn't found it yet he knows the runes have too much power and has made it his mission to find the runes and hide them away from everyone else to protect the world the guy has been doing that since the darkin(corrupted ascended god warriors trapped inside their own weapons who then make anyone who touch the weapon get corrupted and used as a vessel for the imprisoned darkin this darkins can't trully die so when a vessel is killed or expires they simply get caged inside their own wepons again) war(this war in the lore has happened about 2 thousand years because the newest aspect of targon is 1 thousand years old and no one from her time even remembers the darkin) that made people resort to using the world runes for power so Ryze saw everything unfold and did nothing to stop it as he said in the cinematic he was too weak at the time because he read the scroll on his back a scroll that can turn people mad with power and corrupt their minds he was able to fight it but was weakned but what he saw in the scroll was what made him know and take it upon himself to search and hide the world runes. this is just a short summary one part of Ryze's story as he is an important character in the lore and has tons of connections to other pieces of lore, I play league and the story and the universe's it has are generally cool but the main one is great, even people who don't play normally think it's great and really captivating though not every champion has story like Ryze and there's one or 2 old champions that need a story and an update but most champions have a great story. ps if you want to read hte lore just look for a list of all champions then each champion has a story except Shaco( I think this one doesn't have a story or if it has is outdated and not cannonical anymore), probably Nocturne(the shadowy guy with two arm blades who said darkness ithat came out of the fog and started attacking Ryze in one of the earliest cinematics) doesn't have one as well.
fun fact Pantheon (the spartan looking dude) has a scar on his chest from when a darkin (corrupted demigod) stabbed him and killed the aspect (god like being) that was essentially possessing him because it deemed him not cool enough to be a co-pilot and now out of sheer man power (hehe) he can use the powers of the aspect sometimes
Viego - the character you thought was cold af and took over peoples minds? His passive allows him to turn into any character with every kill and passive kill (within 3 seconds). He is very fun to play. if you pop off you will end up beating the enemy team with their own champions. 😈😈
in leagues, you will find the heroes, the villains, the victims, the bullies, the "i don't give a shit", the obsessed, the freak, the bystanders, the devil, the angel, the superstars, the rockstars, the idols and teemo shitting mush somewhere in between
the one who dropped out of the sky in 31:09 is Galio a giant Petricite(this material is a stone/wood material harvested only from a mountain of that region called Demácia and the material absorbs magic and can also channel it that's why Lux the girl who cast light into the sky did that so the statue could awaken their lore is tied) Gargoyle statue the statue absorbs magic from anyone fighting near it and protects the kingdom( this kingdom is really against magic the cinematic is for show because in the lore Lux can't openly cast like that since she is from a noble family and it would be seen as treason from the people of the country but many nobles have magic and hide it if you read the stories and the champion Sylas(in game voice lines also mention that and call the nobles hypocrites, Sylas is that guy in chains also made with petricite who makes a sword out of light earlier in the cinematic after knocking down Garen the heavy armored guy with the big sword who happens to be Lux's brother) anyway Sylas is a powerfull mage although not as powerfull as Lux in the lore the petricite chains he has he learned that it can channel magic so he actaully is able to use them as a weapon instead of being suppressed by them like any other mage would be since he knows that by feeding magic to the petricite it can help channel the magic the sword of light he created is the light sword that Garen makes fall from the sky a few cinematics before while fighting the red haired girl named Katarina meaning Garen is able to use magic although he is too stupid to know it( meaning in the lore he could probably summon that light sword he just isn't smart enought to know that he even can so he has never casted it in the lore even though it's his ingame ultimate). this is basically soft ball lore here in this cinematic not everything is cannon but it show's the character's powers according to lore so yeah that giant gargoyle named Galio he can do damage to a mountain landing like that even without landing he could probably punch a hole into a mountain(this is just a small fact about the power).
yo with that second last cinematic, the call, there's actually a one piece amv "the call" by dakari that is so good. one of my favourite one piece amvs. the only thing is it goes over the most recent battles in the anime so i don't know if you'd want to be spoiled. maybe when you catch up but it is just one of the best.
League came out in 2009, Smite in 2013 and Nasus (the Anubis looking guy) was playable at the very start. My BF plays Smite and I play LoL. When he plays, i keep comenting things like *hey that champ is similar to that champ in league*. Both games are cool, but i prefer LoL :)
Smite was made available to the public for the first time on May 31, 2012, with its closed beta, transitioning into open beta on January 24, 2013. The game was officially released on March 25, 2014.
Hi Drazu! Been watching ur One Piece reactions for a while))) And now since u got into League rabbithole, some clarifications from a LoL Player (gonna be a long comment, sry). 1) Thats not Scylla in this game, its Annie (that girl name) in Smite. Smite came way after LoL and Smite sorta copied the looks. Same thing with McCree and that card champion (called Twisted Fate btw) 2) Also, her gameplay is not like Scylla at all. 3) 3rd cinematic is sorta good representation what would league game would be, but kinda more realistic (skipping gameplay mechanics but adding things like real people teamwork or use of enviroment (trees, falling rocks - thats not in game)). 4) No, that wasnt fox lady ult, that was her E (3rd) skill - charm. Her ult was in the end of cinematic (when she flew in air and dashed 3 times). that was 3 ults actually - cloaking from beastman (called Rengar), sunbeam from Athena-like lady (called Leona) and the fox lady (called Ahri). 5) 4th cinematic (about a blue guy with lightning powers - names Ryze) lore-wise - there is 5 powerful artifacts in the world of Runeterra (LoL world), called World Runes. U can think of them as analog of Infinity Stones from Marvel. Ryze been gathering those runes and putting them into underground magic-absorbing vault, so they wont fall into wrong hands (cause, it the past, one of his disciples tryed to use World Rune and literally cause local afiery armageddon - u can see it in cinematic, in Ryzes memories). 6) Well yeah, that champion DOES look like Anubis (althought again, Smite cames after, but Nasus (Anubis-like dude) was copied from Anubis - ancient Egyptian god of the death. Have to clarify - he also plays quite different, and his origins in lore is also different. With some simularities. 7) That eye-thing with tentacles is probably one of void-spawn or weakened Watcher, but mostl ikely the 1st. Watchers are way too powerful for this guy (Ryze) to handle. Watcher, by the way, is primordial dark godlike entities that wants to destroy all creation cause its annoys them. For more info, there is lore videos (also recommend Necrit ones here). 8) the stoneweaver girls name is actually Taliyah. 9) The "black" (pardon me here) name is Lucian. And yes, he is quite badass. 10) Character that u called king - his name is Draven, and he is actually a head executioner. He also was in 3rd cinematic (New Dawn) and was butchered by Rengar (beastman with dreds). He was looking bored cause he enjoys good fights and fighters - till white-haired girl (Riven) arrived, that was just plain boring gladiator stuff which he saw thousand of times. 11) Oh come on Drazu, u dont really think u are only one who likes her?)))) Her name is Kaisa (the girl in skin-suit). To clarify - thats actually not a suit, but a creature from the Void (unnatural and twisted realm, created by the Watchers, which wants to devour all Runeterra) which lives with her in symbiosis. Sorta like female Venom from Marvel, but she controls her "skin". 12) As for different regions info - there world of Runeterra is vast and have long history and good lore. For more info, seek Necrit videos (the best are World of Riot Games MMO and Complete lore of Runeterra (literally from beginning of creations and till modern day in this world)) 13) That "thing" in second from last cinematic was the Primal Forge God called Ornn, and he was forging one of the artifacts u use in game - sword called Infinity Edge. Also in same cinematic u can see his brother - Volibear ( the giant strom polar bear in the sky. The ones on the ground is his shapeshifting followers). Sry for a long comment again, but i hope someone will like lore clarifications i made.
34:26 that somebody is called viego altho he does not fully take over a player to play on the other side he just takes over the champ he kills or gets an assist on and is that champion for some time untill the effect wears off or he ults out of it
34:45 jokes on you my guy, there actually is a champion who can "turn" teammates arround and make em fight themselves, its just for 1-3 sec but its a AOE and can make the whole team hit each other, gives them attackspeed too so they hit each other faster lol
Well, 34:45 there is Viego who can take enemi dead champion and play him like normal without ultimate. And at top of that is Renata, her ultimate hit enemis and force them to atak allays units. So if u hit 3 enemis they just ataking eath other.
The black guy from the climb cinematic that is extremely badass he's named Lucian and his job is literally to figt down hordes of those shadow mist ghouls these ghouls are undead and can only trully die from shots from his runic light weapons who have no triggers(the weapons are activated by the mind of the user this light weapons are special and purposely crafted to kill those undead things one of the weapons Lucian holds bellonged to Senna Lucian's wife before she was trapped/imprisoned inside Thresh's lantern the guy spining a weapon attached to a chain show right before the end of the cinematic "The Climb" this guy is undead and his specialty in the lore is torturing souls he imprisons inside the lantern, after Lucian saves Senna and she escapes from the lantern she gets a different sentinel weapon that can suppress the darkness that changed her inside the lantern helping her to control that darkness in form of a small mist but still can shoot light and also has no trigger just like any other sentinel wepon it can only be fired by the user willing it to fire with their mind). The job of the sentinels of light is to drive back the dark mist and kill any undead that comes out of it to protect the world from evil and darkness. The sentinels of light are also the current cannon forms of the champions who happen to have a "sentinel of light" skin from the event ruination that finally progressed the story line a bit more.
@2:00 First off all. League doesn't have Smite Vibes, Smite has League Vibes. Second, both have Dota Vibes. Third, all of them have AoS vibes. Little history: Aeon of Strife was a custom map created in StarCraft. The concept inspired the independant development for the custom map in Warcraft3 called Defender of the Ancients. After that Steve Feak, creator of DotA: Allstars was recruited by Riot Games and they developed League of Legends. In the same year League was released, Valve hired IceFrog, who continued development on DotA: Allstars after Steve, and they worked on DotA2, which was released in 2013. Smite was developed with a similar concept, but in 3rd person rather than iso-perspective, and was released in 2014, followed by Heroes of the Strom in 2015 by Blizzard themselves. There are numerous other titles that went in those directions, but most didn't last as long or did as well as the named games in this comment.~ And yes, League has one of the most salty and toxic community. Ah yes, to answer your question about "Anubis", that's Nasus, he was released later in 2009, so he was almost part of the original roster of League. He has a brother called Renekton, who resembles Sobek, and actually is searching for Nasus and trying to kill him. He was released in 2011, so still before Smite. Azir another character, should resemble Horus I think, maybe Ra, I'm unsure about that, he was released in 2014, roughly half a year after Smite was released. All those egyptian based characters are lorewise form the empire Shurima, and those "gods" are actually ascended humans.
Seems he missed a few like Thresh in that tavern or when Viego got sealed and so on. Now I wonder does Smite have any new cinematics all I keep finding is the one where Belona and her crew fight that lava demon then they wreck Wukong and Thor .
I'm sad you didn't get to see the Fiddlesticks Cinematic. He was a reworked champion that's turned into a true horror show...I recommend reacting to that too. It's really damn good.
on top of that he's just a puppet for the most powerful demon (so far) that's on the face of Runeterra.
@@HairFIip to my knowledge fiddlesticks cant be a puppet, he is the strongest out of all of the demons and pretty much uncontrollable
@@HairFIip Fiddlesticks IS the most powerful demon lol.
@@KenshisBlade That's not what he meant, the Scarecrow is a puppet for the demon inside him, which is Fiddlesticks
@@Koraki0000 no offense but it doesnt matter because the first time anyone in this comment has said anything about a scarecrow is you just now, so whether he meant to say something else or not either way my reply is true regarding to what he said.
There is an ult that turns them against you. its Renata Glasc's ult, its a wave of gas that travels forward and for a couple of secs they fight against you
hitting that ult is so good feeling
stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself...
I think it's more on par with morde old ult that takes the soul of the last enemy champ killed for a quasi-minion with upper stats
There's also Viego's ult that turns him into one of your dead teammates, and Sylas' ult which steals your ult.
The Viego. the cool guy from Black Mist - he actually can turn in other person from another team - after he kills em
You think typing "go uninstall" is toxic? Oh my dear, you've definitely never played LoL before😂 If I would do what they tell me to do in LoL, I would be💀after every game...
The game is good just ignore the toxic
Every online lgame have toxic people just ignore them
☝🤓 "Pls uninstall". Nahh ur getting a whole essay typed in chat on why u should stop breathing
I had a toplaner with the name Sho*h Enjoyer (replace * with a, google the word if you don't know) and to this day he ain't banned I think .
To be honest valorant is worse to me with vocal but if only talk about texte lol can be top tier
Man says he’s about to slay some dragon at the end 😂 very entertaining watch!
34:19 About your question, let me introduce you to Sylas (The guy with chains in the Warriors Cinematic that made a sword out of light) Viego (The guy with the glowing blue-green sword) and Renata. Sylas steals ults from the enemy team one at a time. Viego kills you and takes your champion for a few seconds, Renata makes you fight your own team 👍
34:40 there is actually someone that has an ult that is based on that concept, just not quite there. It's like a long wave, and if you're hit by it, for a few seconds your character begins uncontrollably auto attacking the nearest unit, prioritizing their allies first and then going down in order
These are fire for sure, but if you want even more sick cinematics, there's a ton that this vid didn't have. Like that one tornado samurai guy at 28:26 has a whole anime style video about his lore. His name is Yasuo if you want to look that one up
😂😂 the old fiddle is so different. He’s like a mean villain. The new fiddle is one of the most terrifying cinematics I’ve ever seen. Honestly they need to give him his own stand alone movie
naw a horror game tho maybe
@theuppercut6973 like slender man but you trying to hide from fiddles oh God xD those voice lines word keep me up for days ahah

In the gladiator scene, Draven (guy you called king) wasnt hating. He was excited that finally a worthy opponent came into the colliseum. Thats why he threw her a sword and broke her free from the chain...to have a fair fight against a worthy opponent. Great reaction!

July 9, 2013 is when dota2 came out then in March 25, 2014 is when smite came out
It starts before that, with the fan made custom map Aeon of Strife in StarCraft, which inspired DotA.
If telling "uninstall" is toxic for you. You're not ready for our "go 0/1 irl"
There is a lot more cinematics with story and lore if you want to watch them but it’ll probably be as long or longer to cover than marineford
What you said at 34:30 about a character that ults and turns another character against that team is actually sopt on. The bad guy in that video (Viego) can actually ult to take control of enemies he's slain including all of their basic abilities. The other guy with the chains in the video before that can ult to steal someone else's ult.
League of Legends was released in 2009, but began development around 2006 (or even earlier if you consider the Dota mod a prototype of League, which it basically was).
Smite was released in 2014, a few months after Dota 2 was released. This doesn't mean Smite copied League's champion though, they're just both based on the same god (Anubis).
Welcome to the land of League, This Land is filled with super unique Characters, Lore. And for some weird reason, Music videos about specific skins. I highly recommend watching senna's reveal cinematic, It showcases Lucian (The man with 2 light pistols) Fighting to regain senna (they are lovers)
As a side note: Lucian was the most pick ADC when he released, Even after like 15 nerfs he was still picked constantly, Even now in professional play he gets picked!
playing smite and league like them both art style wise and gameplay... love the abilities that smite has. and characters from league.
It's pretty criminal some of the videos they left out, tbh.
The Fiddlesticks rework cinematic is masterful. As We Fall is beautiful. Have a peek at them, if you haven't already. :)
Well this video was just the cinematics released to hype up the new League of Legends seasons. If they tried to add in champion cinematics too, the video for be a good few hours longer 😹I agree tho, there are many other incredible cinematics (Fiddle included!). I hope Drazu reacts to more sometime in the future!
@@cillafawn281 But they should add prologues and continuations of season cinematics. Ruination cinematic starts with Lucian Saving Senna and then has 2 more videos after. 2022 cinematic has another one that shows where Kai'Sa went after going down.
34:25 - Viego (the guy in the cinematic) kind of does that.
34:44 - Renata ult
This might be like half of the Cinematics/ music videos, yes the have. Music groups composed of characters in the game voice by real musical artist and rappers, they go hard
Hello there Its my honored.
So far thank you and all of new comers in this fantasy world.
League of legends = Runeterra lore lover i am glad you become one of new fans.
As someone who has some inside infos Arcane season 2 will come maybe in 2024/25 and they allready started working on other series from other regions.
May the force be with you.
And may you lead the force. 🖐️
34:18 actually this cold lookin guy from this cinematic, after killing enemy can turn into him. Theres also one character that makes enemy champions attack themselves
"A computer just takes over your body and starts fighting for the other team" They actually added that a while back, it's like a moving aoe attack that, when you stand inside it, forces you to autoattack your teammates for a few seconds
Very good reaction video! No pausing every 5 seconds to miss the whole cinematic! I love u dude, just for that! Subscribe!
Kaisa caught my heart aswell. im with you there
League came out first 2009, Smite hit the go button in 2014, League was 5 years old when Smite came into play lol
40:49 they show all the invisible champs and they did a great job to animating them.
I have over 4000 hours in smite and recently have picked up league for the past year and half and I will admit I havent touched smite since. SMITE has a special place in my heart
NGL, whoever is in charge at Riot for Breast Animation has the best job in the world.
I feel like theres some league of legends songs you should listen too because they werent season thing but theyre total bangers, including K/DA's popstar, more and villain. Also one i truly think youd love whoch is True Damage - Giants
I'm glad you enjoyed these! Been playing the game following intently for about 11 years now. Would love to help provide knowledge if needed. Next step, if you love music, is to learn that RIOT GAMES is basically now a music company. Their music is SO good. So make sure to check out all their World Championship songs, as well as their side specials (KDA, rap battles, Falconshield)
LMAO
I actually haven't seen the newer ones and the Galio drop followed by the Demacians chanting is too cold
The Viego. the cool guy from Black Mist - he actually can turn in other person from another team - after he kills em
Well... Answering to that concept of turning an enemy into an ally, the white haired guy that was taking souls can posses enemys he killed for a time, and other champion, make the enemies hit each other like crazys
There used to be lore for why the heroes are fighting 5v5 in the arena. That was scrapped and never replaced. There is lore for the different factions in the game warring with each other though.
28:05 these are all different locations, but roughly at the same point in time.
the steampunk thing is Piltover/Zaun, the egyptian is probably Shurima and the nordic/ice is Freljord.
turns out Anubis has a brother
massive lore behind the game
League is one hell of a lore iceberg. You can spend days learning about a single champion. And that's not including how they all interconnect
And now you legally have to watch all of the champion cinematics.
29:07 Your not alone dude. Her name is Kai'sa and yeah she is smoking hot.
34:20 Oh there is a caracter in the game that can do that for a few sec. Not only that but if u aim her ult really good or combo it with other caracters she can take control of the entire enemy team.
you made me laugh the WHOLE TIME
i love you bro
I honestly didn't know the third cinematic, that one is totally new to me, and Ryze kinda resembles Liam Neeson, no? 🤔
And I can't help myself, all the cinematics don't only bring back memories, almost all of them literally make me cry. They're perfectly enacted, great story, great moments, great atmosphere, there's almost nothing bad you can say about them.
The community begged Riot so long for it, and 2021, they made our wish come true with the release of Arcane. Or rather, a wish, as Arcane is just a small part of an alternative universe of the League-verse.
@Drazu Empire you might even watch the Championships Cinematics. They're probably not as good, but not bad at all. It also feels like there are other cinematics missing...
There are a lot of cinematics missing, and I'm right there with ya on how they bring back memories and make me cry. Glad I'm not the only one lol
34:43 it already exists, shes called Renata Glasc, her Ult makes anyone of opposing caught in it fight each other.
I like how someone that doesn't even play the game can tell what's broken out of cinematics only, and you are so right every time lol
Fun watch... had me cracking up man thanks... i like how you picked up on many of the champs personalities. Draven was bored... but fighting Riven looked mad fun doe. I be crying watching some of these shits too they are EPIC.
When you said; "He's gotta be nice, when the tornado dude came", that is actually one of the most played champ by the toxic community if I remember correctly.
22:23 Almost there!! you got the "-yah" part but it's not Gaia/Gaiya it's Taliyah
"He´s gotta be nice" lmao
You opened a very deep rabbit hole. The one thing Riot does better than anything else is lore. Every single champion (aside from about 10) of the 160ish champions you can play have whole storylines and backgrounds and hail from regions of the world of Runeterra that also are rich in lore and history.
It's for these reasons that an MMO is in development.
Too many appeared in these cinematic to explain, but the character you were asking about who "wields lightning" is actually wielding Arcane magic. He has a scroll with him that contains secrets of the World Runes, which are effectively so powerful that they could become apocalyptic if the wrong person got hold of them. Think Infinity Stones. He is their protector. And occasionally, he taps into a % of their power, but not often
Having tried Smite as a League player I see the similarity but it’s so different at the same time. But if you think “go uninstall” is toxic you don’t know toxic 😂
Annie isn't even close to the most toxic character, that spot is reserved for most adcs or mid laners. (7:50)
That's also not an ult at 10:19, that's her 2nd ability if anything, which is a move speed increase.
17:14 these fights are replacements for war or arguments between nations.
18:16 that's Nasus, he hails from a land called Shurima which is based on egypt. He has a brother called Renekton who is essentially Sobek. Nasus came out on October 1, 2009. Anubis was released May 31, 2012.
22:24 Her name is Taliyah.
29:12 Her name is Kai'Sa, her suit is similar to Venom, and I doubt she's interested in much other than surviving.
34:29 Her name is Renata Glasc. The one you're watching right now is based on Viego, who can turn into your teammates, items and all, and start beating your ass.
I love how when he meet a new champion or discover an new ability about them and find it toxic he is always right...
This Electric Mage is called Ryze and could be the Thanos of league of legends bc he just collects "runes" and hides them from evil bc this things are more powerfull than infinity stones.
you know camille flying onto jhin was my wallpaaper for 4 years, because that shot is just so insane and there will never be abetter shot in lol history
The moba genre's evolution went thusly: Starcraft 1 player made custom maps spawned a popular one called Aeon of Strife. It had lanes of continuous creeps that you farmed to get stronger, buy stats, weapons, etc. and had to kill the enemy spawner. In warcraft 3, the custom map feature was also wildly popular. Several creators copied the format of AoS, but the one that started dominating because of how technically better and creative it was was Defense of the Ancients. The guy who was updating the map stopped doing so, and another guy took it up and really made sweeping changes to balance, designed new characters and really made it his. The player made custom map got so popular that e-sports leagues started popping up and people started taking notes. The original dota maker went on to make dota 2, partnered with Steam and the guy who made the map great went on to create League. A bunch of clones popped up and fizzled out-- heroes of newerth, bloodline origins. Significantly later came Smite.
I'd argue that Heroes of Newerth was a bit more than just a clone. It was really a direct successor to original Dota back at the time of release. It was Dota without the limitations of the Warcraft 3 engine, and I remember it being very popular back at it's peak. Eventually LoL started to shut it out due to having, imo, a bit of an easier learning curve and more streamlined gameplay/interfaces. Then eventually Dota 2 was made and that was pretty much the death warrant for Heroes of Newerth, as it was an official sequel and most of the people still playing HoN moved to that. Surprisingly HoN was still officially supported until June of last year though.
loved the reaction! hope you do the rest!
34:25 LMAO Little did he know, it's actually a champion & we have 3 of the stealing type of champion, Viego (the pale blue guy we see in this cinematic, Renata, Sylas whom we saw earlier the guy with the chains to his wrist)
29:13 Oh brother... I main her every night
That was the perfect way to end the video. I laughed so hard.
Gaia is actually a COLD ass name for Taliyah, her whole shi being earth bender mage n shit, Gaia just makes so much sense
You reacted to WHAT
lmao there are a couple banger in here ngl
funny shit bro you should also get to react to some of the champion ttrailers, or the league music videos
So the scene where the big thing fell from the sky. That was galio. The girl who did that was lux. The guy with the chains is sylas and the guy he was fighting is Garen(Lux older brother). Sylas was imprisoned for being a mage or something which is illegal in that country. Rememeber Lux. Yeah shes a mage. He older brother Garen does not know. She she has to play the weak card. Acting like she isnt and all that. Funny story actually, she is the reason why sylas escaped his lock up. Guy help sme fill in the blanks here. Im not super into the lore so i only know bits and pieces
I played smite for 5 years, then league for 5 years, and now im playing both. Im hopeless
21:20 when he say's there's one missing those shiny rocks are called world runes and yeah there's one missing because Ryze(the Blue guy with a beard and also the one narrating in that cinematic) hasn't found it yet he knows the runes have too much power and has made it his mission to find the runes and hide them away from everyone else to protect the world the guy has been doing that since the darkin(corrupted ascended god warriors trapped inside their own weapons who then make anyone who touch the weapon get corrupted and used as a vessel for the imprisoned darkin this darkins can't trully die so when a vessel is killed or expires they simply get caged inside their own wepons again) war(this war in the lore has happened about 2 thousand years because the newest aspect of targon is 1 thousand years old and no one from her time even remembers the darkin) that made people resort to using the world runes for power so Ryze saw everything unfold and did nothing to stop it as he said in the cinematic he was too weak at the time because he read the scroll on his back a scroll that can turn people mad with power and corrupt their minds he was able to fight it but was weakned but what he saw in the scroll was what made him know and take it upon himself to search and hide the world runes.
this is just a short summary one part of Ryze's story as he is an important character in the lore and has tons of connections to other pieces of lore, I play league and the story and the universe's it has are generally cool but the main one is great, even people who don't play normally think it's great and really captivating though not every champion has story like Ryze and there's one or 2 old champions that need a story and an update but most champions have a great story.
ps if you want to read hte lore just look for a list of all champions then each champion has a story except Shaco( I think this one doesn't have a story or if it has is outdated and not cannonical anymore), probably Nocturne(the shadowy guy with two arm blades who said darkness ithat came out of the fog and started attacking Ryze in one of the earliest cinematics) doesn't have one as well.
I highly recommend watching Worlds 2023 it starts on the 10th of October!
fun fact Pantheon (the spartan looking dude) has a scar on his chest from when a darkin (corrupted demigod) stabbed him and killed the aspect (god like being) that was essentially possessing him because it deemed him not cool enough to be a co-pilot and now out of sheer man power (hehe) he can use the powers of the aspect sometimes
That thing with horns is a forge god
Viego - the character you thought was cold af and took over peoples minds? His passive allows him to turn into any character with every kill and passive kill (within 3 seconds). He is very fun to play. if you pop off you will end up beating the enemy team with their own champions. 😈😈
in leagues, you will find the heroes, the villains, the victims, the bullies, the "i don't give a shit", the obsessed, the freak, the bystanders, the devil, the angel, the superstars, the rockstars, the idols and teemo shitting mush somewhere in between
the one who dropped out of the sky in 31:09 is Galio a giant Petricite(this material is a stone/wood material harvested only from a mountain of that region called Demácia and the material absorbs magic and can also channel it that's why Lux the girl who cast light into the sky did that so the statue could awaken their lore is tied) Gargoyle statue the statue absorbs magic from anyone fighting near it and protects the kingdom( this kingdom is really against magic the cinematic is for show because in the lore Lux can't openly cast like that since she is from a noble family and it would be seen as treason from the people of the country but many nobles have magic and hide it if you read the stories and the champion Sylas(in game voice lines also mention that and call the nobles hypocrites, Sylas is that guy in chains also made with petricite who makes a sword out of light earlier in the cinematic after knocking down Garen the heavy armored guy with the big sword who happens to be Lux's brother) anyway Sylas is a powerfull mage although not as powerfull as Lux in the lore the petricite chains he has he learned that it can channel magic so he actaully is able to use them as a weapon instead of being suppressed by them like any other mage would be since he knows that by feeding magic to the petricite it can help channel the magic the sword of light he created is the light sword that Garen makes fall from the sky a few cinematics before while fighting the red haired girl named Katarina meaning Garen is able to use magic although he is too stupid to know it( meaning in the lore he could probably summon that light sword he just isn't smart enought to know that he even can so he has never casted it in the lore even though it's his ingame ultimate). this is basically soft ball lore here in this cinematic not everything is cannon but it show's the character's powers according to lore so yeah that giant gargoyle named Galio he can do damage to a mountain landing like that even without landing he could probably punch a hole into a mountain(this is just a small fact about the power).
You need to watch all the cinematics. There’s a ton more and maybe you can watch all the Music Videos too like the beloved KDA skin line
bro i randomly landed here and you beat me, you are so fucking funny (sorry if something is wrong english is not my main language)
34:30 yup there is a champion called renata that her ult is a wave that gives atk speed and makes everyone hit by it to start attacking her allies xd.
There is a champion ult that makes you fight your own team for like 2 seconds xD
yo with that second last cinematic, the call, there's actually a one piece amv "the call" by dakari that is so good. one of my favourite one piece amvs. the only thing is it goes over the most recent battles in the anime so i don't know if you'd want to be spoiled. maybe when you catch up but it is just one of the best.
League came out in 2009, Smite in 2013 and Nasus (the Anubis looking guy) was playable at the very start. My BF plays Smite and I play LoL. When he plays, i keep comenting things like *hey that champ is similar to that champ in league*. Both games are cool, but i prefer LoL :)
Smite was made available to the public for the first time on May 31, 2012, with its closed beta, transitioning into open beta on January 24, 2013. The game was officially released on March 25, 2014.
They didnt put senna/bel veth cinematic btw... but cool to see, the kaisa moment was funny xD
Hi Drazu! Been watching ur One Piece reactions for a while))) And now since u got into League rabbithole, some clarifications from a LoL Player (gonna be a long comment, sry).
1) Thats not Scylla in this game, its Annie (that girl name) in Smite. Smite came way after LoL and Smite sorta copied the looks. Same thing with McCree and that card champion (called Twisted Fate btw) 2) Also, her gameplay is not like Scylla at all. 3) 3rd cinematic is sorta good representation what would league game would be, but kinda more realistic (skipping gameplay mechanics but adding things like real people teamwork or use of enviroment (trees, falling rocks - thats not in game)). 4) No, that wasnt fox lady ult, that was her E (3rd) skill - charm. Her ult was in the end of cinematic (when she flew in air and dashed 3 times). that was 3 ults actually - cloaking from beastman (called Rengar), sunbeam from Athena-like lady (called Leona) and the fox lady (called Ahri). 5) 4th cinematic (about a blue guy with lightning powers - names Ryze) lore-wise - there is 5 powerful artifacts in the world of Runeterra (LoL world), called World Runes. U can think of them as analog of Infinity Stones from Marvel. Ryze been gathering those runes and putting them into underground magic-absorbing vault, so they wont fall into wrong hands (cause, it the past, one of his disciples tryed to use World Rune and literally cause local afiery armageddon - u can see it in cinematic, in Ryzes memories). 6) Well yeah, that champion DOES look like Anubis (althought again, Smite cames after, but Nasus (Anubis-like dude) was copied from Anubis - ancient Egyptian god of the death. Have to clarify - he also plays quite different, and his origins in lore is also different. With some simularities. 7) That eye-thing with tentacles is probably one of void-spawn or weakened Watcher, but mostl ikely the 1st. Watchers are way too powerful for this guy (Ryze) to handle. Watcher, by the way, is primordial dark godlike entities that wants to destroy all creation cause its annoys them. For more info, there is lore videos (also recommend Necrit ones here). 8) the stoneweaver girls name is actually Taliyah. 9) The "black" (pardon me here) name is Lucian. And yes, he is quite badass. 10) Character that u called king - his name is Draven, and he is actually a head executioner. He also was in 3rd cinematic (New Dawn) and was butchered by Rengar (beastman with dreds). He was looking bored cause he enjoys good fights and fighters - till white-haired girl (Riven) arrived, that was just plain boring gladiator stuff which he saw thousand of times. 11) Oh come on Drazu, u dont really think u are only one who likes her?)))) Her name is Kaisa (the girl in skin-suit). To clarify - thats actually not a suit, but a creature from the Void (unnatural and twisted realm, created by the Watchers, which wants to devour all Runeterra) which lives with her in symbiosis. Sorta like female Venom from Marvel, but she controls her "skin". 12) As for different regions info - there world of Runeterra is vast and have long history and good lore. For more info, seek Necrit videos (the best are World of Riot Games MMO and Complete lore of Runeterra (literally from beginning of creations and till modern day in this world)) 13) That "thing" in second from last cinematic was the Primal Forge God called Ornn, and he was forging one of the artifacts u use in game - sword called Infinity Edge. Also in same cinematic u can see his brother - Volibear ( the giant strom polar bear in the sky. The ones on the ground is his shapeshifting followers).
Sry for a long comment again, but i hope someone will like lore clarifications i made.
"They rollin deep..."
163 characters, and more coming every year 😎
Realse date: League 2009, Smite 2014
Average player count: League 2.5M, Smite 10K
Globally League trumps Smite.
There is still cinematics to see, like skinlines, new champs, etc
34:26 that somebody is called viego altho he does not fully take over a player to play on the other side he just takes over the champ he kills or gets an assist on and is that champion for some time untill the effect wears off or he ults out of it
now you just gotta watch the dante axe parody of these videos and your life will be complete
Nasus (anubis) was realesed 3 years before smite got announced
That’s literally what his ultimate does 🤣
34:45 jokes on you my guy, there actually is a champion who can "turn" teammates arround and make em fight themselves, its just for 1-3 sec but its a AOE and can make the whole team hit each other, gives them attackspeed too so they hit each other faster lol
Well, 34:45 there is Viego who can take enemi dead champion and play him like normal without ultimate. And at top of that is Renata, her ultimate hit enemis and force them to atak allays units. So if u hit 3 enemis they just ataking eath other.
Smite
28:50 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I died man
Drazu : i carry you thru ranks...
me : oh my... he haven't tasted the elo hell of silvers and golds
The black guy from the climb cinematic that is extremely badass he's named Lucian and his job is literally to figt down hordes of those shadow mist ghouls these ghouls are undead and can only trully die from shots from his runic light weapons who have no triggers(the weapons are activated by the mind of the user this light weapons are special and purposely crafted to kill those undead things one of the weapons Lucian holds bellonged to Senna Lucian's wife before she was trapped/imprisoned inside Thresh's lantern the guy spining a weapon attached to a chain show right before the end of the cinematic "The Climb" this guy is undead and his specialty in the lore is torturing souls he imprisons inside the lantern, after Lucian saves Senna and she escapes from the lantern she gets a different sentinel weapon that can suppress the darkness that changed her inside the lantern helping her to control that darkness in form of a small mist but still can shoot light and also has no trigger just like any other sentinel wepon it can only be fired by the user willing it to fire with their mind). The job of the sentinels of light is to drive back the dark mist and kill any undead that comes out of it to protect the world from evil and darkness. The sentinels of light are also the current cannon forms of the champions who happen to have a "sentinel of light" skin from the event ruination that finally progressed the story line a bit more.
Smite came out in 2014. League of Legends came out in 2009.
@2:00 First off all. League doesn't have Smite Vibes, Smite has League Vibes. Second, both have Dota Vibes. Third, all of them have AoS vibes.
Little history: Aeon of Strife was a custom map created in StarCraft. The concept inspired the independant development for the custom map in Warcraft3 called Defender of the Ancients.
After that Steve Feak, creator of DotA: Allstars was recruited by Riot Games and they developed League of Legends.
In the same year League was released, Valve hired IceFrog, who continued development on DotA: Allstars after Steve, and they worked on DotA2, which was released in 2013.
Smite was developed with a similar concept, but in 3rd person rather than iso-perspective, and was released in 2014, followed by Heroes of the Strom in 2015 by Blizzard themselves.
There are numerous other titles that went in those directions, but most didn't last as long or did as well as the named games in this comment.~
And yes, League has one of the most salty and toxic community.
Ah yes, to answer your question about "Anubis", that's Nasus, he was released later in 2009, so he was almost part of the original roster of League.
He has a brother called Renekton, who resembles Sobek, and actually is searching for Nasus and trying to kill him. He was released in 2011, so still before Smite.
Azir another character, should resemble Horus I think, maybe Ra, I'm unsure about that, he was released in 2014, roughly half a year after Smite was released.
All those egyptian based characters are lorewise form the empire Shurima, and those "gods" are actually ascended humans.
League came out in 2009 and smite came out 5 years later in 2014
Todos amamos a Kai'sa
Brother knows her women for sure. No way he'd turn away from Kaisa.
34:34 yes there is a character when she ults the enemy team start to attak each other her name is Renata
You did a great job.
18:45 League came out in 2009, 5 years before smite.
34:40 oh that’s his passive. Yeah if he kills anyone he gets to turn into them.
Seems he missed a few like Thresh in that tavern or when Viego got sealed and so on.
Now I wonder does Smite have any new cinematics all I keep finding is the one where Belona and her crew fight that lava demon then they wreck Wukong and Thor .
