@@dakisha0186 but which Pantheon? Asides from our Athreus becoming the new celestial of war and the female Pantheon who tricked Aurelion Sol to bear his crown, there's MILLIONS of Pantheons through Runeterra's history.
Damn I love Mel's story so much actually. So glad they didnt like, present it as her just becoming the wolf and abandoning the things that made her so great in S1 - her cunning, her compassion, etc. Kind of a top tier backstory for a league character.
@@CesarRavenclaw I believe Cassandra was in a different meeting that Jayce and Viktor scheduled, declaring their intention to give Zaun their independence. Though you could say Caitlyn not taking her "shot" at Jinx was Cassandra's undoing, as it resulted in Cassandra's death. T_T
A clan is a big one.. its not hard to be confused where jago stands on medarda clan.. he is on the top while beneath it there's still a branch of medarda family with a leader/head in each of it.. means mel and her mom was just one of medarda family in their clan
Jago is not head of the clan. Ambessa was head of the clan, and now Mel is. Before Ambessa the clan leader was Menelik, Ambessa's grandfather. This stuff is detailed in Ambessa's bio and the description of her upcoming book.
@ super highly likely that's my opinion as well on that, no one is better fit than that, rell is against noxus as well, their story, goal, all fits, that means mel wasn't really good to rell
Yeah, i have a running theory Mel is pregnant and the "Opportunity" Vladamir was speaking of in the Bite Marks cinematic was actually Mel's baby. If you check the end, when Vlad walks past the images on Leblanc's wall, you'll see the Medarda wolf...and something UNDER the wolf, like the wolf is protecting something - it kinda looks like a baby in fetal position. I know the timeline is off for Rell being Mel's kid if we go with original canon but since everything may be changing....its possible?
Mel is nearly confirmed at this point to be the next Champion add to LOR. If the team sticks true to returning to previous release quality, we might see some more Mel lore there, especially through things like follower cards.
She's definitely the next NEW champion (they literally showed her in their December update video), but they've already said that February's champions are existing champions being ported from PvP to PvE, so we don't know when exactly she'll get slotted in to the ongoing release cycles. We also still dont know the degree they'll be able to improve the new champions. They promised to do their best, but also cautioned that they might not be able to achieve everything both they and we might want.
You can refund Mel by using the refund ticket or something like that. If I remember correctly you get one at year, if you don't typically shop often or refund you can do it that way.
It's sad we didn't get this Bio as a short cinematic, it would improve soooooo much the way non-players learn about Runeterra and it's champions, and push a bit of lore into curious players brain.
I love how riot is managing to write great feminine rage stories. my prediction is that noxus will go into civil war due to mel dismantling the trifarix (somehow)
But doesn't Mel have a beef with the Black Rose since they murded Kino? And the Trifarix are riviling the Black Rose's expansion between the noble houses? Why would Mel dismantle something that can be used to her advantage?
it is possible since in the 'Welcome to Noxus' cinematic she caught a glimpse of the Immortal Bastion and fought with hemomancy mages under the Grey Legion
She didn't 'dismissed' sacrificed. She thought there should be another way, her own way, which relies more on compassion; and that actually links with her bio. Mel could very well be what Noxus needs the most : Not being perceived as a barbaric empire that only seek death and destruction anymore. A strong empire needs a strong people but, also, a loyal and empowered people, who believe they can be something else as weapons and tools.
I remember that waaaaay back in the day when I started playing around 2012~2013, the bio of the champions with the old lore was available to see in their champion pages in the client, and that's what hooked me initially, when I saw that and went "Oh wait, there is an actual story to be told for each of these characters????" would love that to be back as well
Imagen Black Rose also becomes part of the leadership of noxus so that 2v2 can't happen and 5 leaderships build a council like in piltover. But here Mel is already experienced enough to take over the leadership and so she becomes the head of all of them. And Black Rose makes their mission against Mordekaiser public by joining that leadership. A new Noxus Era
It look likes there will be 4 komiks in this akt, because there's five points first was bite marks, 2nd atakan comik, 3rd mel comic and we don't know what's 4th and 5th probably another 2 komiks or maybe something big(and that's only this akt)
as an arcane fan i have a feeling her brother isnt dead. but a willy or unwilling ally of the back rose. Either he abandoned his mother, Or he was killed and brought back by Vlad to serve the black rose. We'll see him again...
It's going to be interesting to see how there can be a trifarix with 4 pillars of strength? Does this signal mel's intent to bring down the 'the faceless' principle of guile leblanc? I'm very new to the LoL lore so i have a question that others more familiar with the lore may be able to answer/speculate on. As i understand it as things stand swain, who hates the black rose, is unaware who leblanc is since nobody knows who she really is or what she looks like. So could it be that mel's plan could involve exposing the black rose to swain & if she did would swain be likely to go superfly TNT & go all out to bring her down? I know it's a speculative question without any hard & fast answer but i'm just trying to get my head around the noxian lore & how the next riot series (iron & chains?) might play out form a lore perspective. Thanks for another great vid necrit.
Actually, I think this is pretty cool because, besides any facts and accurate informations, 'emotional context' does A LOT, a lot more than most people think on storytelling. This letter Mel wrote to Ambessa says many things that can be kept as a thread for the whole next show's scenario : How she will arrive to Noxus, how she will be accepted, how her magic will be perceived, what will she try to change, to save, what will be her relations with the people of Noxus, and the leaders, will she investigate on the Black Rose, will she find out about LeBlanc, about Mordekaiser ? Those may seem like thin elements but this is, in fact, quite big.
So we have 2 death realms explained but the cinematic had 3 The one with ambessa in white with the black and blue creatures that could have come from a lady gaga X silent Hill crossover Any idea what this one is ?
Anyone else wondering about how Mel is so cool with what she did to her mother? I hear her say "I've learned much from you" and "Did you know I would be your undoing", but what person would talk like that? Getting to the acceptance stage of grief takes years, if one ever reaches it. At this point in time I would have expected her to be more in denial of her role in her mother's death or in healthy grief, torn between knowing that she did the right thing and missing her mother, she had hoped to have gotten back. But maybe the family is just so disfunctional that she can just accept her mother being gone. On the other hand, that truly contradicts her mother's theme of deeply caring for Keeno and Mel. Then again, the way she treated her children is far from what we consider loving in the Western world and our perspective of human psyche and wellbeing.
Well I think both Mel and Ambessa grew up accepting and realizing death as a possibility. Not to say that they don’t care but they’ve reckoned with the idea numerous times and can definitely keep their composure. I also expect they both have thoroughly thought through and prepared for what would happen if any of the family members died and were already foreseeing that they might have to die or be assassinated or whatever. If you look at how Mel and Ambessa react to kino’s death, Mel’s kidnapping and being missing, Mel being nearly nuked, and more it’s obvious that this family is not so unfamiliar with or destabilized by death and life threatening risks
She had an artefact that protect her against LeBlanc magic and Cait blew it up while Leblanc was hiding in Mel. Then took possession of ambessa and killed her
Considering that the launcher is just a website, there's no reason why it can't have a tab for the lore portal. The game duelyst did that, it had stories in the client, that had full audio. That was pretty cool. Unfortunately they didn't have their monetization policy down well enough and the game went under. It's back up on steam now as "duelyst 2" ... pretty sure it's still just the same game but under new management.
I played mel yesterday against a galio and i have to say i legit did no damage to him early or mid game it was a lore accurate fight because of what galio is made of i guess. He was legit dying of laughter because i was kinda fed and yet tickled him. But i was obliterating every one else.
What if leblanc, allows her to become the faceless? Like she deceives people to think she is the guile one? O.O and hungry for power she just accepts it while LB works from the shadows still
As I said when they decided to dump short stories ... of course they were not popular, most people did not even know they existed, as there was no link to the universe page at the least
Question tho cuz I thought about this since Ambasa and Cait training Ambasa already mentioned the 3 principals at that time so doesn't that mean that the Ionian invasion already happened without Singed ?
If they bring forth a 4th principle and retcon the trifarix into a "quadrarix" then the system will cease to make sense as with 4 people you can get to a stalemate... Also compassions sounds so... not noxian. The devs are clearly biased towards noxus and they want to make it the "good" faction with no downsides, blaming all their past negative aspects on darkwill and the black rose...
It's kinda hilarious because at the end of the day Noxus is just brutal imperialism, forced cultural assimilation and "might makes right" mindset. There's simply no way to make them look like good guys.
This might sound a bit reaching, but is Mel appropriating Noxian culture? For all pretenses, Mel is more Piltovan than Noxian, so is what she doing the equivalence of supplanting Noxian culture & values with Piltovan ones? That would be an interesting narrative, but I doubt Riot is going for that.
@@franostroski4536 according to the timeline boram darkwill has just died as Mel arrived and noxus is still in the process of forming a ruling body... The trifarix doesn't exist yet, so they might as well retcon it. Which wouldn't make sense because the reasons for the trifarix was that it would be impossible to reach a stalemate and they would keep each other at bay. Also Mel could have simply been guile if they wanted to push her in the government, and not make up a 4th principle to make noxus appear more wholesome. Commit to the trope of ruthlessness, riot
Am I the only one who thinks that the most interesting outcome for Mel would be for her to fail and be crushed by Noxus and the Trifarix? If Noxus is that easy to dismantle it wouldn't be funny at all.
@ its from 2019, it's not uncommon for riot to have mixed families. the concept of 'races' doesn't really have the same meaning in runeterra as it does in the real world, they divide more between mages, nations and other beings (like yordles or vastaya). If i recall correctly, there are other families in runeterra who have different skintones and stuff while still being related.
Players: *want the Hextech chests back*
Riot: I want you all to understand the concept of SACRIFICE
Lmao
I like to believe Shaco killed Mordekaiser.
Not only Shaco… Corki, Cho'gath, Amumu and Kog'maw

I don’t get why people are freaking out at Mel “getting all the attention” when she’s a newly released champion. The same thing will happen when LeBlanc will get reworked, when Mordekaiser gets his exalted skin and maybe when Vladimir gets reworked, they seem to be focused on advancing the region and this is just the first split of the season.
I swear! It hasn't even been a month since the cinematic and people are already complaining?!😭
@@__Oku__ its league what do you except, these ppl complain over everything
people are freaking out at everything at this point already
New champion... That was a main character on hit TV series that just had it's finale a few months ago? 🙄
Of course people are talking about her.
Remember that each split gets its own region though. It won't be Noxus all year.
6:19 yes, I was waiting for an "is there anything as undoing..." reference or something
My theory about Mel's powers is that Ambessa has had an affair with a man from Targon, since Mel has literally solari abilities in game.
I found in ArtStation the principal illustrator (Bo Chen) that worked on her splash art, and he called her magic "power of the sun"
PANTHEON

"Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves"
"And deep down I know this well"
i still remember when all the full bios were in the client in characters page
Mel’s story is pretty relatable as someone who grew up as a military brat.
I think while she acknowledges the sacrifice it is not what she wants to impart onto Noxus. At the end of the comic she says there is compassion.
"Is there anything so undoing as a daughter"
Ambessa died bc of Mel
Silco died in the hands of Jinx

Go off Queen! She got Storm (X-Men) energy 😍👸🏾
would be a mad plot if there will be 5 principals /princibals / whatever of strentgh

Till this day i will never understand how ambassa died. I dont know if it was leblanc or if it was mel explosion?
It was LeBlanc.

The Mel Mission didnt work for me, i completed it and didnt got Mel, then i went into the store and there she was.............for 7800BE. Thanks Rito
Kinda interesting what they would about Ambessa now. Will her skins always be related to death? The Chosen of the Wolf is pretty much that.
2 mins in?? wow my algorthm is on top
I have a lot in common with Mel and my mother with ambessa lmao
Wait, what if there's 5 noxian leaders and they can't surrender vote because it isn't unanimous..
or could be Mel takes the place of LeBlanc or the pale lady changing the principle to hers?

What’s Galio made of?
does anyone think the mark on the ground in Senna's cinematic video looks like one of mel's skills icons?
I mean saw a couple of people on tiktok still delulu that Ambessa is still alive, so thank god we shut them up now.
I think Mel might overtake Guile's place in Noxus with sacrifice. Le Blanc will probably continue playing on the backstage.
it is me who just skipped new clients bullshit and bought mel for 7800. no regrets. there is no point for my 90k be anyway)
What if leblanc, allows her to become the faceless? Like she deceives people to think she is the guile one? O.O and hungry for power she just accepts it while LB works from the shadows still
Could it be Mel will be the protagonist of the next Arcane stories as she explores Runeterra?

Ambasa already mentioned the 3 principals at that time so doesn't that mean that the Ionian invasion already happened without Singed ?
Why does her right hand look so weird in the loading screen

In a way I hope Mel will become a villain.
lore video AND under 15 minutes who are you and what did you do to necrit
Love your vids!
Is it possible for Ambessa to come back with Mordekaiser as one of his soldiers?

Please please please let shaco be the celestial that scattered the world runes. I want him and bard to be made counterparts.
Maybe Riot could just put the link for Necrit's video instead of the universe since its here ppl get the info anyways xD
Why is Jago white? 5:17
Why does it matter?
Real
Maybe the Medarda family extended over runaterra and inevitably married white, probably he is mixed(?)
