They purposefully made him calmer so he could fit the whole general theme, league aatrox was made back when darkins were capped at around 4-5 weapons. I personally prefer league aatrox screaming his lungs out haha
One of the reasons Aatrox shouts and rages about all the time is to taunt his enemies. He wants to antagonize them, hoping that one of them could by some miracle kill him. Thus granting him his long awaited peace.
@@ethanstyant9704 its entirely based off the will of the human they're attempting to possess. Kayn was bred from a young age to be an assassin so the will necessary for that is high af. It's also likely Rhaast is a newly born/released Darkin and Kayn is his first possession.
It's kinda funny to think how while Ryze was out finding the world runes, Aatrox was out looking for the other Darkins. Sure the first set of Darkins like Catapult chicken character awoke on their own, but from his voice lines, it's as if he's commenting on the state he finds his own kin in, like Aatrox jumped into the seas to look for Ibaaros, only to locate him through whatever Ibaaros' spear beckoned.
Voicelines aren't 100% canon. Usually, they are a "what if" thing. These particular voicelines show what Aatrox would say *if* he saw the weapons; it doesn't mean he did. In fact, the descriptions of most Darkin indicate that they broke out on their own.
@@antongrigoryev6381its implied his cry for war did wake most of them save for the ballista the harp and the spear. I doubt he did actually look for them though
It’s almost heartwarming to see Aatrox glad to see his comrades again. That he never forgot their names, and finds kinship in their shared purpose. You can tell that this was more than just a general and his soldiers following orders, but a leader and his warriors that admired one another.
Aatrox always a tragic figure, but now he has a redeeming quality. He genuinely cares about(most) of his fellow Darkin and for most of them it seems to be mutual. Even as corrupted and damaged as they are, they still trust their general to lead them.
The fact that Aatrox took on Kayle, Ryze, and Xolaani, at the same time..... I think Necrit may need to reanalyze his place on that "most powerful champions" list LOL Seriously though, it's sad how ironic it is that Aatrox criticizes Varus' "mortal emotions," yet shows such care and compassion to his fellow Darkin, unaware it's a "mortal emotion" as well. This kind of serves as proof that he really was a noble soul, to care so deeply even in his current state and madness, we now even know he's not just trying to "end his suffering," he's trying to free all of them, it's why he's calling them to this "last war." He may be one of the most tragic antagonists of any setting I've ever read or heard of, maybe even on par with the likes of Emet Selch, props to Riot's lore team.
@@DSMister ok first of all, kayle is much stronger than mihra because she is more connected with the aspect meanwhile mihra is just a host. Second, you cannot compare xolaani taking over an aspect host to aatrox wiping the stars of the ACTUAL aspect of war.
Never take what Necrit say as gospel or something to follow, anyone who actually follow the lore/universe of runeterra know that while he help people who don't care learn about it, he is NOT a good reference or person to follow.
Virgin veigo : wife dead I will revive her even if it meant destroying the world Average Darkin: I was the best of the best from the ascended warriors faced the madness of void head on was sealed in my weapon for Melinas as a thank I can't even find peace even if I tried to end my life so all life must end
Wouldn't be surprised if they saved the darkin story for The MMO it's the best place for them to tell their best story tbh, point is Aatrox doesn't deserve to die ain a event he is Soo good he NEEDS to be a Final raid boss
I love the characterization they gave Aatrox through these voice lines. It really shows a new side of him, before the maddened state we see him in LoL. His interactions with his fellow darkin, and Joraal in particular show him to be such a caring leader, looking out for his teammates and respecting their power. The voice lines he has about the blessed isles shows that even as a darkin, he still has memories and recognition of what was once a beautiful and sacred place. Wish we'll get more content like this for the characters we know and love.

I feel like it was a missed opportunity for Riot to not do it in Wild Rift as a mini event. I mean... Wild Rift has already a quote-on-quote "mini event" of Renekton vs Nasus and Kha'zix vs Rengar at sertain points in the game so why didn't Riot do one about Aatrox and Pantheon once Aatrox got released it's beyond me.
If there ever is a lol event about aatrox will probably be against xolaani or kayle mostly because pantheon lore wise is not an arch enemy of aatrox since he isnt the aspect of war anymore, so aatrox doesn’t consider him worth is wrath
What if Aurelion and Aatrox met and Aatrox helped Asol to be free and Asol finds out that Aatrox also wants to destroy Runeterra 😱 That will be the end of Runeterra
See, for all his bluster, I'm not sure Aurelion WOULD destroy all of Runeterra - he'd want to destroy Targon for sure (and I don't just mean the mountain, I mean the empire beyond Runeterra), but I think if he saw that there were enough good people in Runeterra he'd probably spare it - especially if they helped him fight Targon, like Pantheon is doing. At his heart Aurelion is a creator, an artist - even in spite of his enslavement, I think he'd still be on the side of life in the end. We know he hates the Void, so he probably wouldn't like Aatrox much either.
It sounds like Xolaani left the front lines during the war in Icathia. Aatrox calls her a coward, so she ran? And maybe she tried to warn them that they couldnt handle it, and now every is corupt with ptsd (poor Joraal 😔).
@@ztashed6366 I think it is more of fact she secretly built her Altar here and tried to MC Darkin from here. From some perspective that is as much backstab as Twilight's was. Hence, the coward

@@2pa42_ersennicholaas i mean, he has interactions with Varus which is another rogue Darkin, also he has bonds with Rhaast, since Aatrox considers him as a brother
I think it's because the Darkin saga is only a "what if" scenario caused by Kayn overcoming Rhaast to become a Shadow Assassin and raided Master Yi's temple. Thus, leading to the events of Xolaani taking over Jun's body and this huge battle between the Darkins and some other champions.
I am really suprised how understanding aatrox is to other darkins expect xolaani of course while in league he is just like destroy this destroy that it shows why cardgame is better
He is stuck with Rhaast, Vaarus and Naafiri for options in league, seems to be the Darkin bottom of the barrel. He would be much nicer if he had Ibaaros, Horaazi , Joraal, Baalkux or Taarosh.
@@tyranidswarmlord9722 Considering the three listed suffer from various forms of split personalities due to choosing less than ideal hosts, yeah, I can see why Aatrox is not particularly happy to be with them.
I didn't read the lore but all I knew that Xolaani is kinda like a priest of Shurima before she was corrupted. I didn't knew what makes her to be despise by Aatrox so much...
she simply didnt trust the other darkins to stay calm (tricked all the darkins into taking blood magic so she could use it to control them) which triggered a war between her and the general aatrox which got them all sealed to their weapons by targonian aspects
She tried to pull a Zerg/Tyranid by doing something Similar to Bel'Veth: uniting the world in herself. She was planning to control the entire world in a hivemind, which would bring an end to war, suffering, turmoil and even sound itself. After she absorbed what seemed to be Horazi and then Mihira into her being, we can see what that progress would look like in her Aspect's Bane form. Naturally, being united in a massive hivemind against their will by some crazy ho is not what most of the darkin wanted, especially not Aatrox who was their leader. Then the Darkin war broke out, those that were under Xoolani's control and those that resisted with Aatrox clashed, until twilight trickery and other targonian intervention sealed them in their current suffering. If you sum it all up, Aatrox hates Xoolani because she started this whole mess. without her, they would either be Ascended, or dead, but not this horrid middle form.
What if the darkin finds out their emperor is alive? Their purpose reinstated… make Shurima great again with ease, or their madness is far from salvation
And the arcane only watchers thought that pnz is hard to live because of corruption try living in demacia as a mage, being weak and poor in noxus or in the desserts of shurima where this guys roam
Living in Runeterra is likely even worse than living in Attack On Titan, Berserk and JoJo universe, I mean most thing will come to kill you in Runeterra, demons, darkins, ghost, zombie..... though this is just a normal day in Ohio
@@KENSHIROez3260 good thing if they just kill you the void corrupts you turning you mad is the least it can do to you worst you become something like malzahar, darkins assimilate you and if your strong enough it will be a slow and painfull process, you need to be strong or resourceful in noxus, else you just die in the ditch, demacia is racist for mages, ionia is quite good before the invasion happened after invasion some furries (vastayan) just flat out want to kill humans, you dont die in shadow isles(and its not a good thing), shurima is a dessert, targon has zealots that condemn people just because they don't believe in their gods, freljord is cold(not counting that theres trolls, yetis, and monstrocities their thay can drain your sanity), if you have a finite lifespan and you go to bandle city for a few minutes you come back an old man in runeterra if your luck, bilgewater is surprisingly safe as long as you have connections but not safer than piltover and zaun(it becomes the most dangerous place in runeterra during harrowing though) ,to top it all there are demons everywhere(i mean fiddle is everywhere ,nocturne is in your dreams though for the time being his banished somwhere and azakana is a thing) theres also world ending threat in every part of the planet(ionia has syndra sealed, shadow isles has viego, shurima has the darkins and belveth and other void borns, targon has a dragon which is not happy being a slave, Demacia has Fiddlesticks for the moment, Noxus has Mordekaiser, Frejlord has the frozen watchers, Leblanc is everywhere there moght be others but I cant remember) . So yeah Runeterra is cool and all but I DONT WANT TO LIVE there😁.
Oh well this is a seperate universe from the world if kayn defeat rhaast and become blue kayn then be defeated by xolaani. So yeah, rhaast is already dead and no interaction with him
@@nguyenminhkhoi1266 No that's not canon , niether of kayn or rhaast won and kayn didn't get defeated and in the rhaast version he actually took the weapon so yeah both those aren't canon

@@LoRVoiceLines I KNEW IT, I KNEW I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO THINK THE SAME lmao What make this more interesting is Pillar men also capable to infect another living organism to be their host in case their body is destroyed (remember Santana tried to make a new body after half of his body is destroyed and Esidisi use Loggins arm to replace his arm that are destroyed by Joseph)
@6:05 Is this line a reference to Naganeka's name being changed? Because that's so fucking cool. (If I recall correctly, Naganeka was originally named Valeeva in previous stories, and is named as such in the game files, but was eventually changed to Naganeka, so the line might be referring to him 'getting her name wrong', so to speak.)
Naganeka And Valeeva are two different darkins. Naganeka was the snake-like(until a chicken became her host) darkin in the twilight of the gods, while Valeeva is believed to be Varus' sister
Would have loved a interaction between aatrox and zoe Aatrox: there you are trickster, don't think I've forgotten your deed Zoe: ooh the bad guy's finally here Bonus: Anyone else really want the darkin to have interactions with azir were either azir is disgusted by what they have become or the darkin trying to join his side
We can see why he roasts them. For him, they are bottom of the Darkin barrel lmao. 100% he'd trade them for Joraal/Horaazi/Ibaaros/Taarosh instantly, even in a 2 for 1 deal.
Its interesting to see that even after being twisted by the void, he still respect other darkins and remembers their name, yet he wont use xolaani’s name because she is a coward and thats the one thing he hates more than himself
We definitely need a new movie dedicated for this lore. The arcane is received well by people, im sure this one will also have the same success as arcane
I hope once the 5 darkins in league has been released and the darkin civil war comes to an end, i hope aatrox, varus, kayn, naafiri, and the final darkin to enter the roster will be given a skin that symbolizes their redemption from an evil race to a true ascended, respectable soldiers that once helped defend the world againts the void
I'm kinda disappointed that he don't have interactions with rhaast + The varus interactions with him sounds like varus is talking to his older brother or something lol
Well seems like we have more than 5 Darkins now. too bad I kinda loved that direction but well these new ones looks pretty cool. hope some of them will make their way to League itself.
Like Aatrox has the best back story in runeterra by far like he is an immortal corrupted god warrior trapped in a sword for so long all he wants is to end the world and the only character who is almost as savage as him in voice lines is ezreal whose entire character is shit talking people
Aatrox literally went against everything, his nemesis, his betrayer (that gets stronger each second), the god of justice and his dying body itself, talk about undying will of a true god
It's finally time for the General himself.

The fact that aatrox didnt have a special dialogue with kayn/Rhaast is a crime
he does in lol and its really funny
Can someone tell me how Varus managed to overtake 2 men but Rhaast was unable to control a weeb?
Pretty sure that makes him one of the weakest darkin
@@ethanstyant9704 its entirely based off the will of the human they're attempting to possess. Kayn was bred from a young age to be an assassin so the will necessary for that is high af. It's also likely Rhaast is a newly born/released Darkin and Kayn is his first possession.

I like how friendly aatrox's tone is to his old homies compared to how he.. usually is
Wait a second, this whole time i thought horaazi had 2 A’s in her name… there was a memo
Yup, just one "A".
The memo was ignored yet again.
Aatrox and Ryze interaction is unexpectedly Friendly...
It really warms my heart for some reason cause of aatrox that he cared for his fellow darkins
ty homie good vid cant wait too see more
What if the darkin finds out their emperor is alive? Their purpose reinstated… make Shurima great again with ease, or their madness is far from salvation
They probably only want one thing. Death. So I don't think they would join Azir nor try to kill him
They r too far gone
I think they are too corrupted. Basically Ascended gone insane
Pretty sure the Icathians dgaf about azir
I think they would kill Azir, Renekton and Nasus, and then go to Targon to destroy celestials and then idk. He ends the world at this fight.
I am not a king! I am not a god! I AM! AATROX!!! I AM THE WORLD ENDER!!!
Imagine actually living in Runeterra. Death, monsters and evil everywhere, lol.
And the arcane only watchers thought that pnz is hard to live because of corruption try living in demacia as a mage, being weak and poor in noxus or in the desserts of shurima where this guys roam
Living in Runeterra is likely even worse than living in Attack On Titan, Berserk and JoJo universe, I mean most thing will come to kill you in Runeterra, demons, darkins, ghost, zombie..... though this is just a normal day in Ohio
@@KENSHIROez3260 good thing if they just kill you the void corrupts you turning you mad is the least it can do to you worst you become something like malzahar, darkins assimilate you and if your strong enough it will be a slow and painfull process, you need to be strong or resourceful in noxus, else you just die in the ditch, demacia is racist for mages, ionia is quite good before the invasion happened after invasion some furries (vastayan) just flat out want to kill humans, you dont die in shadow isles(and its not a good thing), shurima is a dessert, targon has zealots that condemn people just because they don't believe in their gods, freljord is cold(not counting that theres trolls, yetis, and monstrocities their thay can drain your sanity), if you have a finite lifespan and you go to bandle city for a few minutes you come back an old man in runeterra if your luck, bilgewater is surprisingly safe as long as you have connections but not safer than piltover and zaun(it becomes the most dangerous place in runeterra during harrowing though) ,to top it all there are demons everywhere(i mean fiddle is everywhere ,nocturne is in your dreams though for the time being his banished somwhere and azakana is a thing) theres also world ending threat in every part of the planet(ionia has syndra sealed, shadow isles has viego, shurima has the darkins and belveth and other void borns, targon has a dragon which is not happy being a slave, Demacia has Fiddlesticks for the moment, Noxus has Mordekaiser, Frejlord has the frozen watchers, Leblanc is everywhere there moght be others but I cant remember) . So yeah Runeterra is cool and all but I DONT WANT TO LIVE there😁.
@@minnelcandelario6893 or in Bilgewater where everyone's a pirate and the Grim Reaper invades the island on a yearly basis
my only complaint is that there arent interactions with rhaast whatsoever
Oh well this is a seperate universe from the world if kayn defeat rhaast and become blue kayn then be defeated by xolaani. So yeah, rhaast is already dead and no interaction with him
@@nguyenminhkhoi1266
No that's not canon , niether of kayn or rhaast won and kayn didn't get defeated and in the rhaast version he actually took the weapon so yeah both those aren't canon
@@nguyenminhkhoi1266 i mean they can still make an interacrion, aatrox being quite shocked rhaast is alive and rhaast says something like "ready to kill brother" or something like that
@@Nello_angelo they aren't canon, but this whole darkin saga is a continuity of those hypothetical events
@@crimsonazure2659
Yeah but kayn story is not canon even in this event , it has 2 endings and the developers themselves said it's not so we don't know what actually happened and even if it's that's doesn't mean that they shouldn't have interactions I mean they are both on the field and be have interactions with other datkin captains why not have an interaction with a general who calls him brother
it is criminal that these are not in LOL
I really hope they make joraal a champion one day, his look is sick
I hope there will be no plot armor for runeterra on this event
7:29 that has to be a jojo reference
A bit funny that the Darkin are also ancient immortal beings that feed on blood to heal, awakened by their slumber by human intervention.
@@LoRVoiceLines I KNEW IT, I KNEW I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO THINK THE SAME lmao
What make this more interesting is Pillar men also capable to infect another living organism to be their host in case their body is destroyed (remember Santana tried to make a new body after half of his body is destroyed and Esidisi use Loggins arm to replace his arm that are destroyed by Joseph)
Either Die a hero or live long enough to become a darkin
@6:05 Is this line a reference to Naganeka's name being changed? Because that's so fucking cool. (If I recall correctly, Naganeka was originally named Valeeva in previous stories, and is named as such in the game files, but was eventually changed to Naganeka, so the line might be referring to him 'getting her name wrong', so to speak.)
Nope, Naganeka and Valeeva are two different Darkin we know from the story Riot published after Aatrox rework
Naganeka And Valeeva are two different darkins. Naganeka was the snake-like(until a chicken became her host) darkin in the twilight of the gods, while Valeeva is believed to be Varus' sister
That quote "finally, im freed of this madness" would really hit if its gonna be one of aatrox's last words before he truly dies
No interactions with Tryn and Jax sadge
Would have loved a interaction between aatrox and zoe
Aatrox: there you are trickster, don't think I've forgotten your deed
Zoe: ooh the bad guy's finally here
Bonus:
Anyone else really want the darkin to have interactions with azir were either azir is disgusted by what they have become or the darkin trying to join his side
I would love to see something along the renekton voice line.
"Allow me to carve a path for you"
I want Aatrox to have interactions with The Warrior, the celestial god he killed.
i love how petty aatrox is towards xolaani, he hates her guts and will not let go for the life of him
Joraal Pog
WAIT!!!
Varus finally has the chance to respond to Aatrox? pog
It’s so cool to see aatrox have darken he care about because in league all he dose is roast varus and raast
We can see why he roasts them.
For him, they are bottom of the Darkin barrel lmao.
100% he'd trade them for Joraal/Horaazi/Ibaaros/Taarosh instantly, even in a 2 for 1 deal.
He sounds less angry in here
It seems Varus is not the only one who didn't receive the memo on the doube a thing.
Its interesting to see that even after being twisted by the void, he still respect other darkins and remembers their name, yet he wont use xolaani’s name because she is a coward and thats the one thing he hates more than himself
We definitely need a new movie dedicated for this lore. The arcane is received well by people, im sure this one will also have the same success as arcane
I wish to see all these darkins in league, I wonder what would happen if you had 5 darkins in team
There should be a special boost like movement speed or attack speed once they fight together in a clash or something
Tragic and nearly forgotten yet as dangerous the day they ascended and fell.
The man just wants to fight and die like a warrior
these lines actually make me feel sad for aatrox
so aatrox is the evil captain america huh ? Darkin Assemble
Not a single Aatrox/Tryndamere interaction, sad
I end obliviousness. You welcome.
7:55 and 7:59 are so goddamn good
Baalkux? Guess I returned to the game at the perfect timing
League quotes are better than lor why you can feel pain sorrow hate coming out of Aatrox, there is less emotions
I hope once the 5 darkins in league has been released and the darkin civil war comes to an end, i hope aatrox, varus, kayn, naafiri, and the final darkin to enter the roster will be given a skin that symbolizes their redemption from an evil race to a true ascended, respectable soldiers that once helped defend the world againts the void
8:30 league players when they uninstall league.
mann i would love see rhast and aatrox interaction
Good job Aatrox brotha
How many times did he say coward?
As many as he said "Come" in LoL
So basically all champs can wear a darkin weapon therefore summoning all the darkin in the body of the champs that wore them
In a way, all the darkin can become champions in LoL
Idk why but I feel like Aatroxs voice is muffled after hearing his league voice lines as well.
Maybe it's the reverb?
They add a slight echo and voice pitch deepening effect for the Darkins.
Wow darkins are everywhere
Xolanni became a champion would be interesting
I'm kinda disappointed that he don't have interactions with rhaast
+ The varus interactions with him sounds like varus is talking to his older brother or something lol
Well seems like we have more than 5 Darkins now. too bad I kinda loved that direction but well these new ones looks pretty cool. hope some of them will make their way to League itself.
they existed before since it wouldnt make sense that only 5 ascended were transformed into darkins and that we currently have only 5
Hope Xolaani come in game
This show us aatrox really cares his friends
Like Aatrox has the best back story in runeterra by far like he is an immortal corrupted god warrior trapped in a sword for so long all he wants is to end the world and the only character who is almost as savage as him in voice lines is ezreal whose entire character is shit talking people
If riot makes darkin event (like the ruination) ill need to comeback to league
THERE WAS A MEMO !!!!
I guesse not all the darkin got the memo
Wait... he doesn't have any interaction with zoe and other ascended? ，oh well I'm sure they will add some in the future eventually
Aatrox literally went against everything, his nemesis, his betrayer (that gets stronger each second), the god of justice and his dying body itself, talk about undying will of a true god
Horazi???
Surely you mean Noraazi!?
No interactions with Rhaast? god dammit
Can we put all the Darkins in lol, they're look interesting character.
I wonder if Ryze has any interactions with Kalista
