Welcome to the first episode of my new series, where I talk about champion groups and/or factions, evaluating their lore and background and seeing how that ties in with their gameplay! Normally I only talk about gameplay but I thought it would be interesting talking about the different nations: Demacia, Noxus, Piltover, Zaun, The Void, etc. We're gonna kick off this series by talking about Yordles, and why they're the most hated group of champions in League of Legends!

Ok daddy
Well must say good job, i will love see more of these struktured like thiss.
There was a Yordle that was a balance nightmare : Poppy.
Before her "anti-dash" rework and because of her ultimate she was either useless or absolutly unfair depending of the current patch.
I DIDN'T NOTICE THOSE THINGS THAT YOU SAID IN RECENT YEARS WHILE PLAYING LEAUGE OF LEGENDS NOT UNTIL I WATCH THIS VIDEO OF YOURS ABOUT YORDLES.
NICE. YOU HAVE A VERY BRIEF EXPLANATION ABOUT THEM IN GAME IN REGARDS TO THEIR LORE.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VID. I MISS PLAYING LEAUGE IN PC.
For this series, where are you going to put yuumi?
Their purpose is to bring happiness into the world of league and they bring me so much happiness as long as they're not on the enemy team
I love them regardless of team as long as it's not *fizz*
@@fitmotheyap Fizz is the reason why I'm afraid to go mid, my luck is so bad that I always get to go against one and it's really annoying.
@@ThyFloorestFloor I would rather have Fizz than a fuccking point and click assassin that the community has the audacity to call hard.
@@miname2306 whi r you talking bout?
@@miname2306 fizz is that point and click assassin
_"Easily digestible"???_
Note to self: *_make videos longer!_*
hah
Ahh there he is. The bait worked >:)
sounds like a good Idea.
Yesssss
👀 Ngl the longer videos are great to listen to on commutes and stuff. The graphic information presented is always a bonus but with how information is presented, I can easily listen while doing other things. Great video. We need MORE YORDELS
"Aside from Fizz everyone of them exudes psychological pressure"
I don't know about you Vars but when a Fizz runs at me with R I get Vietnam Flashbacks
he probably meant that you're dead before you can get any psychological pressure
@@jaishkhan7442 kekw that's so much better
The psychological pressure fizz do is his intargetable burst skill
Idk a lot of yordles creates lots of psychological pressure like Kled when you hear the trumpets, or Ziggs throwing a nuke at your feet
Thats why u ban that water rat every game
Kled main here, I'm a little confused by one part of the video. Are you suggesting there's something to this game other than killing every trespasser on my land?
Ofc. There are tacos
Evading the invisible badgers
And drinking mushroom juice
Showing skarl I don't need his coward to win
And killing sneaky sneaks
I think it's in the nature of joke characters for people to hate them. They're supposed to make you mad by just existing.
Neko arc nice
Buru nyu
Dan is he best Street Fighter.
Your profile pic says everything
you must be a yuumi main.
Vars: "We got Yordles in every spot"
Yordles in Shurima and Ixtal: "We don't exist lol"
Rumble is technically currently living on Shurima according to his league story right?
Supposedly, Amumu is an ancient yordle and he's from Shurima :P
@@VarsVerum Whose Amumu? That kid with the bandages?
@@VarsVerum gotta love it how mumu wasn't mentioned, cause everyone forgets him still
@@NeeL-ZzZz who?
Yuumi is technically part of the yordle faction. Many forget her "master" is a yordle.
Yes but she is not a Yordle so therefore doesn’t count. But I see where you’re coming from.
that part means not much, but what means more as Yuumi is Fay (like Lulu s Pix).
I think most of us can agree that Yuumi is not a real champion
@@longboye9935 prety funny call any champion Real
Double when it moustly means stuff like Yasuo and Yone
@@longboye9935 but now seriously you can trust me you will far likely see Yumi then Abathur in lol (as she is inspired of him)
Short answer: Riot tends to design yordles for roles in which they are supposed to be annoying rather consistently, which has made it easy to hate yordles collectively
It depends. Amumu, isn't bad. Pretty standard engagement tank with straightforward counterplay.
@@user-gm4kv2my4u Hi I'm from 7 months in the future and this aged like milk! He's beyond annoying and is currently in a state of "Leona, but he actually can do damage"
I love how some of the most annoying champions in the game are yordles
I love how most of the most annoying champions in the game are yordles.
@@qualitymcbro8452 I love how the most annoying champions are yordles
That's the point of yordles xd
@@michaelharis9962 I also really love how many yordles are the most annoying champions in the game.
@@martinkikic3559 i heard that you guys love how the most annoying champions are the yordles, but have you guys ever heard of how the most annoying yordles in the games are champions?
Not all annoying champions are yordles, but all yordles are annoying champions
Imo Veigar is fine, he has a big fuck-you-in-particular button, but being deleted 100-0 by that feels less infuriating than losing a third of my HP to a Teemo shroom
Yeah, and though she is not a yordle, yuumi is the pet of one, so she kind of absorbed some of the passive irritation factor. Like I can see you. Why can’t I hit you you annoying cat.
Tristana's not too bad.
How can you call kled annoying
@@minimoYT Veigar's ult isn't why he is annoying. Event Horizon is a "no fly zone" for the entire enemy team. Its cooldown is too short for the zoning/pressure it applies.
I personally love the part yordles play in league, their design, gameplay and aesthetics really add a creative twist to the traditional 'whimsical fairy tale creatures' seen in other games
I also like that they are just like most creatures from Runeterra, they can be damaged, twisted and used (like Veigar), they seem adorable and docile, but Teemo is basically a scout assassin, Tristana a gunner and Lulu has done some shit. They can think by themselves, instead of following the flow of their nature too, as we've seen with Vex.
"What's that, must have been fun? Well, what sort o' stories you been told? No it weren't fun, thank you very much! He's a malign little terror, that one, and you'll be lucky if you never cross path with 'im in all your lives!"
"And just when I was startin' to give up all hope... He appeared. All I seen at first were those two big, round eyes, pale as death, as he swam towards me. Them circling sharks took off right away, and no mistake, they was a-feared of him, see, just as you all should be"
"And all the time, I hears 'im laughing. Still makes me skin crawl, just to think of it"
- One-Legged Lars talking about Fizz
It's not everytime I see a full team comp of Yordles in a game but when it happens, it's always loads of fun whether you are in their team or against them.
cant wait to see your take on the void. probably the most unique out of all the region in its own weird way. because while all the other have better fleshed out characters and cultures the void is only seen through its interaction with these other regions, plus that interaction is always as an invasive force. and i do mean force. its not an empire come to take you land like noxus, just a presence with no identifiable motives other than to consume and destroy until nothing is left but it. that in addition to how endlessly varied, adaptable and persistent it is makes it the most effective horror on runeterra for me
I love void. Its sad that there is no new champs or lore concerning it.
@@nightly2005 yeah maybe it’s because when more things pop out the void, it’s normally bad news for everyone.
@@nightly2005 Same for Shurima ... Akshan doesn't count :P ... I want my Azir-Cinematic okay!
It's the Lovecraft region
"We have a yordle in every spot" Targon, shurima, ixtal....
Well… this is awkward.
I mean, rumble is technically around Shurima
@@joaovieira1595 Nah isnt Rumble Around bandle city cuz his crush lives there? Or does Tristana not live in Bandle City no more?
@@tatzecom i believe he stores scraps in a shurima base
Isn't Amumu a yordle?
With Tristana being the first character I learned to love the game on, I decided I'd learn all the Yordles. I love these guys, and have so far only had issue learning to like Corki.
Who do you think I the most fun to play?
Word of advice, build sorcs, rockets go pew pew. In more technical terms he's really good at playing the quote on quote neutral game because you can chill back and go pew pew with rockets. Its a lot like playing a poke mage like Xerath and the likes. When it comes to his package. Idk, I usually have it time out on me because my soloq team doesn't understand that its basically rumble's ultimate with a displacement effect. But I find the most effective way to use it is either in conjunction with another diver and you dogpile the back line charge up the minigun and just try to do as much damage as possible; if you get in danger you can just use your regular W to get out. Another way to use it is to just pick people with it, and lastly you can use it to deny the enemy team but cutting off certain areas, like river entrances. I also don't understand how his minigun works, I think it shreds armor or mr, I usually just point it at the minion wave.
But remember, rocket go pew pew. Build AD, get sorcs, go pew pew.
Yordles were meant to represent general goblins but they were meant to be nicer than them bc off that it ended up being more hated than goblins themselves bc even tho goblins are annoying generally you expect from them bc most off them carry that greedy and evil personality, yordles however aren't like goblins at all they are nice and kind yet kept that annoying part off that i think personally that is the reason yordles are hated more
Goblins en el hentai.
Goblin slayer but to go to rune terra next volume
imagine if talon was a yordle.
Ahhh that would be fantastic
talon isn't an yordle?
I've been waiting for this topic for a while. This is gonna be a good video for sure.
There's also the cat of a Yordle, Yuumi, also being a unique enchanter and also being hated by the opposing team... and her own team
i love yuumi what are you talking about
I personally love this new series. I hope we can see the rest of places.
"But none of them feel invincible"
I miss season 6 Poppy.
Me too... me too...
Ladies and gentlemen there's only one Poppy I miss her to death and i was a happy man. The old poppy before they change her to this thing. I miss the days when I would see another poppy on the other side. And challenge them to a fight to see who is the better poppy. there will be no other champions where I can drop their health and one combo while their team can't do anything to me. She was hard to play but practice makes perfect. Rest in peace my old favorite poppy. And my favorite skin on her was Scarlett Hammer Poppy.
@@snzelay001 well (speaking as a Poppy main here), as much as I miss old poppy too, you guys got to admit that new poppy is SO fun to play, while being really strong but not overpowered as old poppy
@@matinhosmatos I understand she is really fun but she was the only yordle that was an assassin. If riot ever makes a yordle assassin. It will put a smile on my face. Yordles are my favorite race. I just love the chaos they bring to the game.
@@matinhosmatos I want old poppy mechanics with new poppy visuals lol
It’s not a region but I’d love to see you talk about darkin. They have always been some of my favorite champs in the game, since there are so few of them they might need to be paired with other champions, so maybe ascended? If I remember correctly, darkin are corrupted ascended but I also don’t know if their kits would be close enough to make sense in the same video
That quite hard when only 3 of them. And they are too different
I guess the only real theme behind all of the Darkin is that they are bound to a certain weapon type. Maybe he would talk about how their weapons affect their gameplay? Like Aatrox is a sort of blood god who revels in up close battle, and Varus is something of an assassin who slaughters the enemy with a single arrow. No idea what Rhaast's deal is tho, he seems to just kinda... exist.
Now that I'm thinking about it, why is it that Rhaast is attached to Kayn, Varus is restrained by the two lovers whose bodies he took, but Aatrox is just Aatrox? I assume it's because he was the first one to come out and Riot's improved their storyline since then but from a lore perspective it doesn't make much sense.
Lets wait for a female darkin (based on varus comics) that still in Shuriman Lands.
@@utelvescaro1998 Aatrox works like Rhaast as they are trapped in a weapon. For Aatrox, he is trapped in the god-killng blade. But unlike Rhaast who found a vessel that can withstand and even resist his power in Kayn, Aatrox's vessels are always weaker than Aatrox himself (because he's just THAT powerful) so he always ends up corrupting the vessel and when the vessel dies he can't do anything but wait until the next fool who picks up hus blade.
Since Vex's tale outed the Yordles as sort of specs of magic given form, I wonder if they take after the places and culture they've been inhabiting or if instead they were already born showing that aspect and just feel a natural attraction to the zones that gave them form. (Vex seems to imply the second one)
Ionia is the most hated for me personally. You get so many of the unbalancable nightmares and frustrating to fight to fight champs in one region (irelia, Akali, yasuo, yone, and zed)
Bullshitnia, the land of edgy broken characters
Master Q would like a word with you once he has 3 items.
No wonder Noxus got shit on.
As someone else has put it before...
The Ionian Dashers
That’s why my main created gas to attack them
I absolutely love your videos! Beatifully crafted and perfectly explained! Always keen to see more!
This was definitely a welcome change in pace, also hands down the funniest video you've made about league recently. So please continue this absolute masterpiece!
I’m fairly new to league and your videos have been so entertaining to watch and I just wanna say thanks for making such enjoyable and digestible content even for new players like myself.
Yes!! Can't wait for it, and the region videos! Great work vars
nice, i love seeing more lore explanations and insights! its cool to see how they have a place in the game as well, this is a great addition to the other channels you mentioned! cant wait to see how the lore gets a spotlight in the arcane series :D
Loved the video man, hope it will be a series
I reaaaally love this format and the region analysis on how it represents a playstyle. I think you might have mentioned how Sylas is a mage, but fights head on all demacianlike. And I'm really interested on how the subversion of a regional archetype or a subversion of a rol archetype because of the region is handeled. Keep going :)
Regions don't represent a play style. You know who else is aDamacia champion? Lux. And Morgana. And Kayle. And Lucian. You see any similarities between them and Garen or Sylas?
@@ziglaus true but some lore is incorporated in kits like Garen having a high base mr because Demacia has an anti mage rule or freljordians having some sort of slow, cc within their kits... things like that
@@xavierwilliams4492 i don't think that is a thing... True, most of Freljord champions have CC/slow, but that is true for Shuriman and Shadow Isles champions as well. And even Demacia has Fiora, Galio, Jarvan, Lux, Morgana...
I think this whole series is a mistake, and just an exercise in confirmation bias and cherrypicking examples
I honestly just have a soft-spot for goofballs like them, i can't bring myself to hate them. My all-time favorite character from Runeterra is Veigar, and i adore every single one of them Yordles
Yordles are just rats
really loved this. it was different from other things i have seen till now
Really enjoy all your series please keep releasing.
I would love to see a shuriman yordle. Amumu could be one if his lore got changed.
You may want to do Noxus next. Basically everywhere else is fighting them, so you’d have to refer back to Noxian champions a lot in little lore explanations.
Your analysis is always on point! This and the Vex video definitely convinced me to subscribe. I want more! Keep up the good work
This discussion was great, Vars! I hope to see more videos like this.
3:55 "I think we have a Yordle in every major region of Runterra". Shurima left the chat.
Laugh in Zigg and his Follower
Isn't amumu a yordle?
@@WolffyChanTV Lore wise we dont know anything about Amumu, Who is he? Why is he like that and where does he come from. We have Yordels in Shurima tho, Rumble is currently in Shurima too. I was just joking about the video and the statement
The most annoying voices when you're an assassin diving in:
"Transmogulate!"
"Hugify!"
*Evil baby girl laugh*
Also, I wonder where Vars will put Yuumi...
In the garbage
@@Osric24 you're probably right
In the items
plus a laughing badger blinding you if you happen to play a champion with an empowered attack ability
That's your problem for diving me.
*Proceeds to die so the ADC lives for 3 seconds more*
-Lulu main
Good video man! Drinking a cofee in the morning watching this makes me chill for the day! Keep up!
Would definitely love to see more of this series
Most yordles are situational with their kits or abilities. Like, Veigar stopping dashes, but being useless vs blinks (flash, e.g.) or vs fast moving targets (as cage has a delay). Or, Teemo being a problem for champions reliant on autoattacks, but pretty useless vs casters, or Vex and Poppy punishing mobility in their own way, but losing damage and utility if no dashes are used against them. That is why yordles are annoying, because in particular situation yordles are pretty much acting as anticarries, as Vars said. But, if circumstances are not perfect, yordles are never too strong. Unless Lulu starts spamming laughter. That is hellforged annihilation nuclear device on steroids. Also, I was the person to place 666-th like, so it all adds up.
Being mostly situational isn't really their defining characteristic, since 70% of champions are situational in some way.
@@ziglaus I didn't talk about being situational as a defining feature, but the reason why yordles are somewhat hated by some, yet others are fine with fluffy goofballs: yordle annoyance is situational
its seems that each year, a few champions are made by Following the LORE of the game ( like Yone last year, Viego, and a bit of Vex this year ), so having these kinds of videos can make it easier for people to know what to expect when a new champion is announced.
I personally love seeing a bit of LORE here and there as League develops it and turns RUneterra in a really interesting place, with its own history, cultures and challenges
The only reason why yone is in this game is because the writers were force to fuck with yasuos lore and forcefully bring yone back, the dude was meant to be dead and that's it
I think this will be one of the best series you’ve come up with so please keep it up I’m super hyped for you to cover Ionia noxus or shurima
deff hope to see you continue this series.
I love the yordles and am slowly getting them all
all the love for Yordles!
Good vid. The lore of League and its characters is a big part of what drew me to the game. I'm also a big fan of Skyen and Necrit, so more content like this is very much of interest to me!
Amazing video,yes keep the series running !
I GM dnd, and actually imported Yordles as a race in the feywild...... I made sure my players find them equally as annoying as we do
Give them all hold person or charm. I bet players will love going against them.
I loved this video. I love Yordles. Kled has one of the most immersive character experiences in the game. It's so fun. Amazing game design.
Round of applause for such a beautiful video which is so well made
This was the best series of this entire channel, wish you had made a video on Targon/Aspects
Void next please! love the void has a wide array of characters!
I genuinely love Yordles they are some of favorites in the entire game I love when ever a new Yordle is added and desperately want Corki to get an update so he can be more inline with the rest of the Yordles
What corki lore
This was a very entertaining video and I'm exited for the rest of this series. Especially the Freljord one :))
background music in this video is so good it kept a happy vibe i liked it
I am a Yordle main, and what i have to say, i don't really care about their gameplay, i just like how fucking cute they are.
And i really like people get mad at me when i play Teemo xD
“Yes, yes, I know I start a new series every day”.
Did u just read my mind?
Super excited about the void with the bunch of monster champions, love the video dude!
I love that series so much already
i fucking love yordles! yes please can we get more of them? id like one thats a dedicated jungler. i know some of the yordles have been adapted to/ used in the jungle . like poppy os fine but it feels like she was more designed as a top laner due to her %health q and things. also theres no yordles in ixtal, mount targon, or shurima.
Teemo jungle
Poppy main here, tbh I think she excels far more as a jungler than a toplaner. Her ability to gank and tower dive is top tier, super underplayed champ for how powerful she can be.
Yordles are very cute...until I remember the shit they do to me on the rift
Love the new series idea!
Please do more videos like this, i loved the concept of this series
Finally man vars must be tired of seeing the yordle comments
I feel like it's not really a "Yordle," problem, it's just that there are a lot of annoying characters who happen to be Yordles (Fizz, Veigar, Teemo, I don't think I need to go on.) There are also a lot of Yordles that I haven't heard many people complaining about, if at all. Kled, Gnar (didn't even know he was a Yordle,) Kennen, Corki, Rumble, etc. Honestly, Kled is one of my favorite champions, even though I don't play Top lane and never get to use him. It's also a fairly small sample size as well, and sadly most of them suck to play against so Yordles as a whole get a bad reputation. Also, I don't really agree with your assessment that it's more annoying getting killed by a tiny non-threatening character than a chonker like Malphite. Maybe it's just me, but if I get CC chained by a Cho'Gath, Malphite, Maokai, whatever, I don't think to myself, "well, that's fair, they're pretty big boys," I say, "this game is dogshit and I'm uninstalling." Good video, I'm excited to see what could come next, those are just my opinions.
dude kled is so bad to play against. just when you think you've killed him he gets skarrl back and kills you
Fizz wasnt a yordle till the TFT lore re-write. He was some fish troglodyte, but now he has some yordle DNA. So as much as I hate him, I have to love him nowZ
Would definetely love to see more content like this!
Explained so well. Props to you sir- took the words out my mouth on why I love to play poppy
Aight, hear me out, an event were, for a week, you can't play as a yordle. In normal they're disable and in aram they're out of the champion pool.
Noooo let me play fizz in peace
@@spoderbas5550 go play ranked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Would you consider Amumu a yordle ? Thematically, he seems very much in touch with the "I'm not letting you play the game" vibe.
His yordal yes
They changed his lore to possibly being a yordle. His model however is very yordle like, big head and 4 fingers.
Really cool format !
Can I just say your voice is really soothing. Especially in this video with the music
Maybe I'm just biased, but I don't get the impression that yordles are, by and large, hated by the community. There are plenty of champions like Yasuo, Yone, Viego, Irelia, Akali, Draven, and (pre-nerf) Zoe that receive way more hate on a consistent basis. (Yes, Teemo is by far one of the most hated champions in the game and rightfully so.) If anything, I'd say Ionian champions are the most despised, in no small part due to their insane amount of dashes and mobility. Then again, it probably differs from region to region.
I love most of the yordles except corki, if your temmate's a corki, just dodge. Hes gonna lose his lane and feed 100%
And when they are on the enemy team It's always an OTP and oneshots everyone :l
@@dontflamemepls7256 lol
I really love this video. And I want to see more things like this. I love the lore of runaterra ans I think that mixing it with gameplay design is an amazing idea!!!
Keep going
I have been getting into lol lore lately it's actually really interesting so I love the new series idea
Already know this title is gonna start fights in the comments... your wrong btw.
what. The cutest that's for sure.
I wanna see more of this it’s awesome to figure out each of the factions play style plus it would be cool
I Look forward to this Series, Love it
Can't wait for the next video to be "Balance: Why does Riot hate it?" Lmao
well this is racism
This will probably become my new favorite series of yours
I definitely would love to see more videos like this.
I love the Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon soundtrack to bits, it made a nice backdrop for your voice here 😄
I enjoyed the video keep up the series!
This channel deserves 2 million subs!
This was fun. Yordles are my favorite part of league lore, by far
Words can't express how much I love the content you make.
Cool vid, keep it up with the series!
I really liked this gj vars as always
interesting approach. would love further videos.
thanks for quality content. keep up the good work. wish you well
Such an amazing topic for YORDLES-LOVER like me. They're such a group of colorful champion in this game.
I definitely want to see more!
9:39 as a Kled main myself, that made me laugh out loud for how much it's accurate to most of my games.
U just made me love my main and yordels even more ...very good video I enjoyed it a lot
