Some fun lore - Kindred is the personification of both the violent and sweet embrace of death.
Tryndamere's ult makes him literally undying - he was fighting death itself and his wife Ashe came in to save him.
Morgana and Kayle are/were divine beings, touched by celestial power at birth, blah blah.
Morgana gave up/shunned her divinity to help humankind, embracing forgiveness and understanding while Kayle embraced hers, embodying cruel and unyielding justice.
That side-eye Kayle shot Morgana after she used her magic to defend that town/city could indicate the start of the rift that saw the sisters become foes.
The cinematic is about The Past, The Present and The Future.
The Past is of Kayle and Morgana, before they decided to go their separate ways of dealing with justice. It also explains how Aatrox already knows them despite not knowing Demacia itself, simply cuz at the time this happened Demacia wasn't Demacia yet.
The Future is of Yasuo, fighting one last time when Ionia got invaded again and at the end Kindred kills him while Yasuo accepting the arrow of the Lamb.
The Present is of Tryndamere, and his non acceptance of death, both by the Wolf and the Lamb, due to his partial "anger fueled blood magic. Everytime he ults he sees the actual death - Kindred , instead of his enemies.
that is also why only the lamb is in the yasuo part but both are in the trynd part. the lamb claims those who accept death peacefully, wolf chases those who run away from it.
@@rumbleroar2you can see wolf in the shadows of the trees with his eyes ready to chase if needed
u can actually see the wolves eyes before kindreds arrow@@rumbleroar2
who gave tryndamere that undying rage? it's aatrox right?
@@theadmiral4157 yes to basically torture tryndamere
Absolutely loved this one. Seeing Kindred blurring the line between world mythos and reality by tagging in for the warriors who were closing in on Tryndamere was really something special
I feel like he was still fighting the warriors but like kindred was a more spiritual thing
I didn't prepare my self to see Yasuo's death but here we are
No they showed that trynd isn't invincible when he uses ultimate it's that he fights off the spirit of death (kindred/wolf) it's a spiritual experience he goes through everytime he uses undying rage
@@FrogVoid1I think Kindred did have some physical effects since Tryn’s shoulder guard had bite-shaped damage.
add to that canon "possible" yasuo death, this cinematic def one of the best
I have to say this is my new favorite cinematic because the song was so good,also a lot of details that you can easily miss watching first time. But what made this cinematic ao good for me is how Trynd was actually fighting enemies near him and not the Kindred itself,and as last 2 die (to Ashe arrows) Kindred disappears as does his Undying rage. Really amazing what Riot did with this cinematic… also the look of disgust on Kayle when looking at Morgana was so nicely done…
Same, Trynda fighting for life is the best part from any cinematics. Perfection.
I hate kayle so much
@@lefcso kayle has the perfect setup for a redemption arc when the next big foe shows up though, she might throw away her ideals to actually do what is right in the end.
They should not have put Yasuo in it. Especially shouldn’t have confused people with an old Yasuo. That was all just to seel a skin..
The graphics are worse than Awaken and The Call too.
@@kroneexethis for sure better than awaken lmao
Lore accurate Cinematic btw.
Morgana CC was so long Kayle hit lvl16 before the CC ends
This one made me lol 😂😂 so true
Lad aatrox never loses that fight😂
Pro tip don't get hit by Morg Q or bring QSS otherwise 3/4 of your lifespan is gone
This cinematic was above perfection holy shit
eh the oldyasuo scene could have done much better. slow-mo fighting with no feeling of impact in his swings
other two was okay. song is better than good. but yeah the animation was just decent. not enough movement
@@bluerum896 2Tb comment
@@bluerum896I mean... they had to make it pg12 so no blood...
@@itsgonnabeokay9341 i didn't mention blood. the movement of the characters just doesn't feel powerful enough. probably because he's just going up against hoodlums but even still, the swings felt empty. yasuo did not look like a proper champion here,
@@bluerum896 wdym with empty? They can't just show a sword cut humans in half.
Kindred my main, actually being in almost the whole cinematic. either lamb or wolf show up at every person's death in this. Fkn sick.
She was in all scenes of cinematic. At begging you can see Trynda looking lamb's shadow. Lamb also appears in Kayle flame. Then at the end of old man Yasuo scene you have Wolf shadow in the forest and lamb arrow killing Yasuo
@@Dor-lomin_Turin Do you have the exact second where the lamb appears in kayle's flame? I can't find it
@@Dor-lomin_Turinbrooo nice eye didnt see before ur comment
@@HazeyInsanity You can very briefly see her outline in the center of the fire at 2:10 to 2:11.
@@HazeyInsanity you can use the comma (,) and period (.) keys to move one frame.
At beggining you hear Kindred voice (it's Lol version of death reaper, presented as wolf and lamb). First part is past, Morgana and Kayle fighting Aatrox in Demacia, long long time ago. Mid part is old man Yasuo, using his power last time (notice, he is not killing those guys). Then you can see wolf shadow in forest and lamb arrow. That means Yasuo accepted death and died. Last clip is "now" in lore. Tryndamere ultimate ability is "Undying rage". That means literally that he is too pissed off to die. In this cinematic you can see his perspective, everytime when he is close to death he needs to face the death (Kindred). Actually he is fighting bad guys.
wait that's morgana? :O
@@jajohnek yes, and her sister Kayle. Times when both of them had a sword, now Kayle have both.
Mods or Grubby please pin this comment, this guy explained it the best!
Also at 2:10 before transition to Yasuo part you can see shape of Kindred in the fire. Death "still here" in the past, in the future and in the present
You got it wrong i think,yasuo decapitated enemy soldiers
Ok, I've decoded it. Riot is changing Trynd's ult so that instead of making you unkillable it turns your opponent into Kindred and you have a 1 v1 minigame to decide if you die or not.
Real
ngl kinda sounds cool but... Imagine tryndamere action game with kindred mechanic as a "Death's door" analog
I got goosebumps when morganas eyes lit up.. my main btw so I lost it when I saw her n kayle
1.. It's Kayle & Morgana Vs Aatrox
2. It's Foreseen Yasuo in Cinematic
3. The white arrow that kill Yasuo was Kindred Arrow
4. Tryndamere Vs Kindred is happen everytime he use his Ultimate
5. Wolf keep Attacking Trynda because The one who resist their dead will be hunt by fox
6. The one who accept their dead will die in peace by Lamb Arrow *like Foreseen Yasuo
7. Ashe can't see Kindred because only the Dying one will meet Kindred
8. The Volleyshot from Ashe literally save Trynda from got back stab so Lamb is retreat
Anything more ? Please add again
PS. Riot cook 2024 with a BANG !! THX RIOT !!
You can see wolf’s eyes in the tree-line as the arrow comes toward yassuo
What happened to aatrox after
All of Kindred's abilities are showcased or referenced during the fight with Tryndamere.
Wolf's Frenzy as Wolf relentlessly attacks Tryndamere.
Mounting Dread as Tryndamere's situation grows ever more dire.
Arrow Dance as Lamb jumps backwards to dodge Tryndamere's blade.
And finally, the ultimate, Lamb's Respite, as Lamb lowers the bow and calls off the hunt - for now.
@@bck2bck-750 Yes because Old Yasuo could still fight death and run away from it (he has been running away from it since he became a wanderer), and now that hes old, hes accepted his death, hence the wolf didnt come out first, and it was the arrow that shot him faster than the other arrows.
Gg guys 0/1 Yasuo 😢
Anyone ragging on this cinematic for being boring has very different tastes than I. I love that all 3 scenes sold a story and pulled from existing lore. The nonstop action ones are cool, but I much more prefer the emotional weight that comes with this one. great pacing, great visuals, A+
Everyone hating on the music are boring, too.
It was really nice to add a jpg of your face during the cinematic, really helped getting your feelings
LOL. I lean towards stoic rather than expressive. They told me that at my first tournaments after I won, that audience (who doesnt know the game well) doesnt know if I won or not, based on my reactions. I learned to jubilate FOR the audience (not for myself). Perhaps I will start saying "wow, no way", while raising my eyebrows in order to become a better react andy. Thanks for your comment
Some of the people in chat are... interesting. "this is apple level marketing for the sheeple" LMAO.
Dota 2 players are just hyper opium mode im not even mad at them they just seem sad
I like your content sir and appreciate you didn't fake any reactions but at the same time. There was kind of a lack of reaction while watching it. Take that for what you will. I hope you had a wonderful Holidays and New Year.
Since someone else already wrote down the lore I'll just add that Morgana is a fun CC mage, she can be played either Mid or Support. She can cc someone for a whopping 9 seconds if memory serves
8:50 Also glad to hear my lore dumps are being appreciated :)
Morg can also Jungle
Gotta love the dota players in chat shitting blood every time league is mentioned lmao
fr like idk they call us rtarded but it seems there is one community above us
Well you have to understand what measures must take an individual to accept defeat in peace, even in their own mind. Many of people cant do that at all. Thats actually pretty sad. Everybody deserves the Lamb, not the Wolf.
The sad part is that there's never been competition: LoL has always been bigger and more popular. By a landslide. Like, I remember when in 2019 (even before the pandemic), Riot mentioned LoL had 8 mln concurrent players.XD What is more, League alone has more active accounts than Steam. It's not even copium of DOTA2 players, it's something entirely different.:D Riot, on top of that, added Valorant, TFT and Wild Rift. Just wait for the MMO.;P
The League MMO can't come soon enough, can't wait for the lore to tie everythinv together.
Grubby's chat is vaguely braindead. Good effort.
Don't expect much from WoW classic players brotherman
They are probably dads
@@valkyrrrrwhat does Grubby’s chat have to do with WoW classic, he doesn’t play WoW? Warcraft 3 is an RTS which is a very different genre and community.
god.. every time i hear this song it just makes me bawl. the vocals are so good.
9:20 if you care for the lore, his tribe got murdered by aatrox, in a fit of rage he attacked aatrox but got pummeled, instead of killing him Aatrox used blood magic on him that would activate through rage, willpower and vengeance not allowing him to die.
TLDR Aatrox forcefully gave Tryndamere the power to get so angry that he cant die.
Which is doubly fun because that's what Aatrox is cursed with. He will end the world because nothing can kill him, bound to an indestructible weapon
Kindred is the twin essence of death. The Lamb is the kind end for those who accept their fate, while the Wolf is the violent one for those who run from it. That's why Yasuo, who willingly gives his life to defend the villagers against bandits, gets shot by the Lambs arrow.
Tryndamere on the other hand doesn't give up when surrounded by a bunch of enemies and fights them. But instead of showing his fight against certain death by showing him kill his enemies, it is instead portrayed by him fighting Kindred (the death directly). Fitting to his ultimate, with which Tryndamere basically refuses to die because of his anger, he relentlessy fight death and manage to survive the attacks for some time. In the end he was still about to die by the two enemies behind him, which is why Kindred draws her bow, but Ashe shows up last second to save him, causing Kindred to lower her bow and leave.
You should definitely check the video of necrit breaking down this cinematic and unfolding the details within it.
Crazy to think this one is YOUR first one to witness and it's SO GOOD
He actually watched the call first
@@minglin2814 by witness i meant live
i am main aatrox and seeing of the champ i love the most like that, man it was awesome, i love lol lore and i hate the fact that not a single champ that i play got a cinematic snd this was just pure happiness
The chills this vid is giving
In the very first "lores" or origin stories of the first league champions often ended with something like "then they got bored of their burden/destiny and joined the league of legends to find new glory" or something like that.
Aatrox : cannot die
Yasuo : accepting his death
Tryndamere : refusing his death / die in glorious combat
If you haven't seen any of the Worlds openers, i'd recommend you check out the 2019 worlds opening ceremony! Some of if not the best production ever in esports imo ^^ gives you a feel for peak LoL esports and Riot production.
Tryndamere not dying to the grim reaper because he's so angry gg
il y as tellement de monde entrain de regarder la vidéo j'arrive pas a la faire charger hahaha impossible de voir ta reaction d'un seul coup .... t'es devenu trop populaire sur LoL ^^
Fun lore: Kindred are not the only death; they were all created by the Mask Mother, the other ones are Astral Fox, Fading Icon, Soulspinner, The Etherfiend and The Wings and The Wave being another pair Wings being death and Wave being life.
The cinematic is about the Past, Future and Present.
The Past, is of Kayle and Morgana, before they decided to go their separate ways of dealing with justice. It also explains how Aatrox already knows them despite not knowing Demacia itself, simply cuz at the time this happened Demacia wasn't Demacia yet
The Future is of Yasuo, finghting one last time before accepting the arrow of the Lamb
The Present is of Tryndamere, and his non acceptance of death, both by the Wolf and the Lamb, due to his partial "anger fueled blood magic"
I think people can only appreciate this cinematic to the fullest if they know the lore behind the champions here. The details like Kayles look at Morgana or the Kindred vs Tryndamere fight or the Kindred Arrow hitting old Yasuo in the end. People that do not know the lore would not get these.
Funny, because people who talk about Kayle's look on Morgana in a negativ way are exactly the ones who don't know the lore.
@@itsgonnabeokay9341 I did not say that Kayle looks negatively towards Morgana. At this point in the lore they were still on good terms. And even later on they don't hate each other. They just have different moral standpoints and go seperate ways because of that but they still love each other.
I thought that the look is more like a worried look. Like she saw that Morgana put her sword away and retain Aatrox in her own way, which worked but also shows her growing distance towards their mother's ideals (or atleast what Kayle thinks Mihiras ideals are) symbolized by the swords that she sent to them. There was no hate in the look, just worry. Atleast that is how I interpret it. I also read somebody who said that the look is more of a "Oh that was your plan" look, which could also be true. But it is definitely no hate here.
@@randomdude2026 Yeah, I totally agree with you. But there are still a lot of people who use that scene to make Kayle seem evil, even if it's not true.
For example the yasuo part means that after running away from his death, killing his brother in the process, he finally accepted death and is done running
When you play Amumu and maybe read his lore a bit, please watch his The Curse of the Sad Mummy music video. This one always hits me.
what a beautiful cinematic
1:51 that drop is fkin amazing.. gives me chills everywhere, also morgana is fkin hot!
Waiting for Nekrit reaction 😊
I think it was nice I didn’t think the story was great but visually stunning
League had "lore" way back when but it came in the form of forum/website posts called something in the vein of "the Rift journals" or "the League chronicles" I don't remember, but they realized what htey were doing wasn't really a way to properly build something alongside the "League of Legends" so they kidna let it go (nuked it all) and they "relaunched" their lore thing in like 2014/2015 but struggled a bunch and had several iterations of several characters' stories (Ekko for instance) until they found their footing like 2 years later and now it's a bit of a slow dripfeed of things that have all been leading to 2 or 3 major events in the future (compared to most characters' in-game depiction). Outside of that are a few champions that really do not have a real reason to exist but have to have something written about them since they exist since before they cared about lore, and that's it
Hey grubby. I think kindred deserves more then their teaser cinematic. So if you’re interested in getting some none reading lore I’d recommend the youtube video ”the lamb and the wolf - kindred voices” from the channel ”just another nobody” that edits kindreds voice lines to fit a nerative that works to show their charachter and lore. They also have other videos on champs that do the same and are good. If you ever find a champ you like but dont feel like reading. Probably better content for your stream aswell.
This was a good one to be your first, mine was last year :(
riot's cinematics team is absolutely unmatched, no other game comes even remotely close to being as good in this area
I'd say World of Warcraft is up there, but maybe not in the recent years.
Wow does it Even better in some deparments
Old WoW 100% but the curretn WoW nah
tbf overwatch promo shits back then were more fire. Plus the shorts
That track is fucking epic, holy shit
I am STILL HERE!!!!!!!...........in Silver!!!!
COOL!
I want to play as the angel character!
That’s Kayle, a scaling toplaner.
I'm suffering from a lack of WC3 videos from Grubby
Lamb is the peaceful death, Wolf the painful
Aatrox the big red bad guy was an ascended when he was human, basically a demi god. He would fight off the powers of the void to protect his (now anicent) empire shurima with his fellow ascended. Many died but a few survived. Shurima fell and the ascended were sealed inside their weapons of choice. They were tortured for countless years and the previous ascended god-like beings were twisted into darkin. Now a darkin, aatrox has immense size and strength, if you called him a god you wouldnt be wrong, especially since hes killed celestials (literal gods). Darkins are now immortal, they can be defeated, but cannot ever die. Aatrox wishes to die, he wants nothing more than to have the sweet release from his torment that is life. He wages war throughout all existence seeking someone who can kill him.
Aatroxs story is amazing, he wants to die but cant, so he kills everything he sees until hes the only being left alive. He thinks that if he does that then he will finally die. Aatrox the world ender, the coolest champ in league IMO.
4:53 rosemi cameo
I love how kindred tilted the head, wondering how this guy could resist death ♧
Past, present, and the future. We see Kayle and Morgana before they split ways due to their ideologies of how justice should be achieved. Morgana’s wings aren’t broken yet and we already see Kayle disapproves of Morg’s use of dark magic. The swords they were using were passed down from their mother. We know eventually Morg abandoned hers and Kayle ends up wielding both. This scene in the cinematic might be when it officially happens since we see Kayle pick up Morganas sword. The future we see Yasuo fighting off another invasion of Ionia and it seems it’s his time to die. In one of the final shots we see the outline of Kindreds wolf in the forest and the arrow that’s gonna hit him is one of Kindreds arrows. He gracefully closes his eyes and accepts death. In the present we see Tryndamere fighting for his life. The cinematic implies that anytime tryndamere uses his ult magic he sees himself fighting death itself( in this world it’s Kindred). Towards the end Kindred lowers her bow just as tryndameres ult ends because Ashe ends up saving him. It was not his time to die yet.
morgana and kayle as both the aspect of justice, but eventually they stray apart from each other, kayle became too celot and focus on the punishment side of justice, the absolutes, morgana while looking very evil is the more benevolent , she believes in redemption and has the ability to make people suffer through the pain the cause to others.
yasuo is the future yasuo, harden by life, very Rurouni kenshin, not trying to kill others.
tryndamere was fighting death itself as a representation of his ult in game and his unwillingness to die, eventualyl kindred stopped trying to kill him as he was going to be save by ashe, his wife in a way
Where was the sword guy when they burned the village down?
2 things i wanna mention here which people may not agree with
* Kayle looks like QTcinderella. who plays LOL and is also a presnter for the LCS (american lol esports)
* when morganna is screaming and falls to her knees. i think this is a shout out to the witcher when yennefer is using fire magic.
grubby as always without any emotions :D
the one who chatted "this is apple levels of marketing for the sheeple", I'm gonna say this, since grubby has audiences from dota and wc3 only= dota cinematics looks like clay, blizzard cinematics peaked almost a decade ago lol
Grubbelox , my idol long time ago , stick to leaugue ! Love ❤💪
you have to listen to kindred voice lines
I love the guy in chat that said tryndamere got back up because he cant die. He pressed R. As if his lore is that he presses r and doesnt die lmaoooo
no not angels they are just the winged aspects
I wonder why yasuo is old when the lycris say "all the times ive had to fight im still here" ... no i dont. stop chat
Bro's head and neck isn't even shaped like a thumb, it's a straight index finger xd
nice user name bruv
Crouchingtigercranestyle in the twitch chat of this video. You'd like more blood? There was no blood in the Yasuo seen INTENTIONALLY. Not to child proof it. Yasuo was not killing any of them by choice. I could get into why and the lore but you likely don't care. If you do I recomend checking out someone like Necrit where this was talked about.
TLDR: If you can't be bothered then just trust that it wasn't child proofed, it wasn't actually cutting the guys. It was just knocking them down n out. The last guy was pushed "away" from the incoming rain of arrows that would have killed him.
Why did Ashe use her E in broad daylight?
Thank goodness he didn't start in 2022
What’s wrong with the chat?
Not my favorite music piece, it was good but Riot did better than good; But the animation was like godlike
kindred is both
I'm so sorry for this comment but..... old Yasuo kinda hot♥. no?
The video was amazing! But then there's that horribly cringe music.
So from what i understand, the champs are continuously fighting each other but there is no real plot moving forward in the aspect of them dying? If so, they have been putting these cinematics for more than 10 years without casualties, without any real stakes and results - just as an eye candy, doesn't it get boring?
No they do have lore. Champs do die, but temporarily e.g Gangplank. Important side characters always take the hit
Good graphics in this cinematic. Kinda different compared the the actual game graphics which are too s....
If the game was like this it would be better than GTA 6
If the graphics were like this your computer would blow up trying to render one frame per second.
@@SleepyFen they will probably go for stylized graphics for the mmo but since its gonna be like 2027-2030 there is still hope
Blud you think most of wow's playerbase would be able to run the game if its the same graphics as their cinematics
I know league is 13+ or something but this cinematic is so lame like it is made for kindergarten kids. A lot of posing, unnesessary slo-mo, and of course a modern tiktok singer who tries too hard but just cant say words normally thats why uses weird intonations and everyone thinks its stylish.
Disgusting.
Same problem with almost all the other league cinematics. Last really good one that I remember was about Warwick maybe
Ok
Best dog is obviously kogmaw
i wish valve made something like this once in a while 🥲
Same
