So varus is not just one person but 3 entities? The warriors and the darkin soul or whatever? Damn i thought it was just one corrupted warrior with a darkin weapon like Kayn.
He was an elite archer who turned to the "corruption" out of despair, as his town was being overrun by some force and he was the last one alive, then pwnd everyone and joined the League. But the old lore is no longer valid as far as I know. Hell, the summoners aren't even canon anymore.
I'm speechless. About to shed some tears... I started playing League of legends when it was still in the beta.. Made many friends over the years... Unfortunately some time around season 4, most of my friends quit this game. :( Now I stumbled upon this music video... and you know.. as a gay man ... growing up with league of legends to escape reality to not deal with my homosexuality.. this means everything. I still have problems to accept it. The depiction of these two hunters is so great. You always see the clichee version of gays when it comes to media (video games especially) For some it might be just a music video, but for me it's like my favorite childhood game is telling me to be myself. I never should have stopped playing league. Thank you Riot Games... from the bottom of my heart.
So Kai continues to live in Vals mind but they both fight off the Darkin to keep control of the body. Everyone should just read the comic on the league page because that shit almost made me cry 😁❤👍
holy crap i did not expect this at all but i love it so fucking much. i got chills all over. the story telling, the music, the visuals, they are really well done. the making of was very interesting too. good job rito!!!!
i have watched it like 5 times by now, and i can't handle how epic this is. every time i end watching it, and i go do something else, the song and the cinematic suddenly bumps into my head again, and i have to watch it again. seriously riot, good job. i still think that "get jinxed" is my favorite one of all your music videos, but this might take first place eventually.
That was pretty awesome, Varus has always been a pretty cool design. It is nice to see him get some love and explored more. The art in this is amazing.
OMFL this is so touching!!! The animation, the music, the lore!!! RITO I LOVE YOU!!! Giving all the love to the writers, animators and musicians who made this MV
Not gonna lie, I liked his lore of defending Ionia before. He probably works BETTER as an evil force with his dark theme and such, but his original story made a lot more sense when it came to “retribution”. Loved him as a weird anti-hero, and now I️ just like him as a darkin

Varus is made of love.
Heartseeker varus is making a lot more sense now
And that's the story of how Varus lost his pants.
Anyone else got chills from the beautiful animation and song?
Gergalerg Me
Gergalerg I do :)
I got chills when i saw he have a boyfriend
The song is awesomeeee
is that avatar from Force of Will?
So varus is not just one person but 3 entities? The warriors and the darkin soul or whatever? Damn i thought it was just one corrupted warrior with a darkin weapon like Kayn.
Ozarazil I honestly liked the old version better.
Retconned lore bby
Yep
kayn is two entites in one

better love story than twilight
They must've worked 3 weeks just for the hair physics at the end
So that is how demon pants get created
So varus was made from 2 gay men?
wow this Ryze rework looks awesome!
Now, a new in game model and new voice lines...
Gonna be interesting what these 3 personalities have to say.
I lost count of how many times I've watched this video.
I'm speechless. About to shed some tears...

Confirmed. They retconned Varus story, made Varus a Darkin, holding these two lovers Valmar and Kai, and they are three in one body.
SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR A MOVIE... it hurts
make it happen
HOLY MOLY
*Honestly i want them to make a Diana and Leona Cinematic it will be EPIC*
So Kai continues to live in Vals mind but they both fight off the Darkin to keep control of the body. Everyone should just read the comic on the league page because that shit almost made me cry 😁❤👍
The music sent chills down my spine. The team at Riot have been delivering quality stuff!
Now all thats missing is a video for Aatrox and his rework
Why can't I see replies to comments on only this video?
Very good animation for The Varus
varus need an a for VAARUS to be a true darkin
holy crap i did not expect this at all but i love it so fucking much. i got chills all over. the story telling, the music, the visuals, they are really well done. the making of was very interesting too. good job rito!!!!
That was unexpected but very nice
I stand by this, Varus is cool as hell!
I haven't liked Varus much. I thought he is boring.... but now I think he has the best story and the best design in League. I Love it.
Woooooooooooooooooooow
Soo they can be together trough death and beyond while I’m still here single playing league 🙃🙃😭😭 quality 👌🏾
Now we need an Aatrox rework and a music video like this.
I love how riot makes this type of artwork to their game. Shows how much passionate they got.
YAOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Trinity Force can be key item for Varus"
oh really..?
Ah yes, 15 seconds of Varus (Full Form), Im satisfied
Wow I didn't know Darkins looked so cool :O
Still doesnt explain why he has hairy legs as pants
Was I the only one constantly waiting for a Kiss? 😂😅
You're all gonna be varus mains now.
Still no pants...
So.... Varus is a Darkin+two lovers
I fucking love you rito
i have watched it like 5 times by now, and i can't handle how epic this is. every time i end watching it, and i go do something else, the song and the cinematic suddenly bumps into my head again, and i have to watch it again. seriously riot, good job. i still think that "get jinxed" is my favorite one of all your music videos, but this might take first place eventually.
FINALLY MY BOI VARUS IS GETTING SOME LOVE
Really riot? ryze shoots arrows now??
Read the comic too, guys! Valmar and Kai's story is truly beautiful and sad at the same time.
Now you’re telling me that varus is made of 2 dudes in love that’s fucking AWESOME why don’t I main this champ already
So varus = 2 man in love???
Yunhua Ji yes
+ a darkin
And a Darkin
As amazin as this is, does somebody know the artist of the song? I love his voice!
Varus = Conquest
Aatrox = War
Rhaast = Death
So where is famine in all of that, or are the apocalyptic rider references just pure coincidence?
OH BOI
League is on point with the animations recently :D Also Varus is a Gem fusion xD
I hope they will rework Varus' looks into this one because it looks cooler.
More videos about less popular champs like Varus please
Nice but now do a Visual update for him please
Such a deep understanding by just looking at this video. You really get into the character, and I almost wanna play Varus now.
INSANE.
Still a better love story than Twilight
Thank you Riot. I appreciate this video more than you can ever know.
That was pretty awesome, Varus has always been a pretty cool design. It is nice to see him get some love and explored more. The art in this is amazing.
League of Legends is more than a game. Truly captivating in so many aspects. Love it through and through.
VARUS HYYYYYYYYYYPE
Varus is the new garnet!!
OMFL this is so touching!!! The animation, the music, the lore!!! RITO I LOVE YOU!!!
Giving all the love to the writers, animators and musicians who made this MV
I wish they could make a video for Syndra.
Darius star guardian confirmed.
I'm in tears
Wait: we have Aatrox, Rahast, Varus and...? Who are the other darkin?
I love this too much. 😍
I don't
Good Stuff Riot
I love this so much ... especially the beginning that moment between the Val and Kai .. this is perfect .. loving Varus more now ...
so this is how varus became varus
awwwww i lovee it
This is the cutest/most epic thing riot has made tbh
0:23 great, now .... kisses !
Every champion have a story and this is one of them
new ryze rework looks cool!
As a varus main, riot i love you... This was so good THANK YOU!!!
FUCK YEAH RITO THAT'S GOOD REPRESENTATION RIGHT THERE!!! DOING IT RIGHT!!!
so is varus one of those monster weapon things like aatrox and kayns scythe?
I cant be the only one getting Dishonored vibes at 1:50 and 2:15, can I?
U did it rito. U did representation right. This makes me so happy
I think having Varus being a Darkin, rather then a Void-Corrupted Ionian is way better to be honest.
From a greatest love is born the greatest evil, amazing
This is A FREAKIN' MASTERPIECE!!!!
Varus is ultimate manliness confirmed
I main varus, and this is so freaking exciting
These videos and cinematics are two of the main reasons I love games.
Riot really does an unbelievable amount of work. I hope you all respect that :)
This has been one of the greatest Leagoe animated music videos i've ever seen
ITS BEAUTIFUL ! BUT REALLY SAD T______T !
Never clicked so fast before in my life
Finally my favorite ADC is getting some love!
Honestly it was good
WhO FeD vArUs
Ladies and gentlemen we have a Darkin against two humans.
Not gonna lie, I liked his lore of defending Ionia before. He probably works BETTER as an evil force with his dark theme and such, but his original story made a lot more sense when it came to “retribution”. Loved him as a weird anti-hero, and now I️ just like him as a darkin
EPIC
I really love this love story and the song.
I'd been waited for the kiss throughout the whole video. I think something wrong with me(
That was hella beautiful.
Even hours after i saw it i can‘t stop thinking about it
So that's how Varus becomes a Djinn
