this cinematic makes me want to quit league of legends

Reuploaded to fix a bad rendering error, sorry.

Seriously sad about the downgrade in the cinematic. The Call gave us a prequel to Bel'veth, Xolaani teaser, Sejuani lore, etc. It felt like a proper opening to the year, and was cool lore. This seems like an annoying YouTube ad I would skip as soon as 5 seconds hit.

You know it's bad when TBSkyen is only talking about animation for only about half an hour.

It's insane how, after years of in-fiting between laners, different elo players, smurfs and harstucks, EUW and NA, LAN and LAS, KDA and Pentakill, and all the other rivalries that have been created towards the years, they somehow managed to unite us all in one breath by making a cinematic that is so unbelievably half-assed it cleaned the spite we all had for each other.

I think what Riot doesn’t see is that projects like Arcane and Ruined King are only so successful because it takes advantage of the world they built

I can't believe that I pushed the dislike button on a League of Legends Cinematic.

Someone (sadly can't remember his name) said: " If you don't feel emotional about your creation, others won't. And how could they?" A sadly accurate mirror to what's happening right now

the butterfly represents my hope for the new season leaving my body as im watching the cinematic

I actually wait whole year for a new cinematic, because they are always so good. The feeling of watching "The call" or "Warriors" for the first time is unforgettable. This is a huge step down from the quality they established and, honestly, another spit in the face of their playerbase. It's like they want us to stop playing LoL so they can focus on other games

I feel like this is the final ripples of the decisions that came from Sentinels of Light flopping. Riot execs saw that people hated the poorly handled lore and decided "players don't want lore" instead of "players want better lore". Now we're at the point where they've fully divested. Only speck of hope now is that this is the bottom of the barrel and they'll finally feel the loss of so many content drivers and casual fans, leading to 2024 having nowhere to go but up.

The poem is about a person, who climbed ranked with int Sion strategy. His body was dying over and over and there was no honor in his axe, yet he stood victorious in every game. He stood victorious by mercilessly crushing his opponents' hopes and dreams for getting any fun in his games. And as the new season starts and the int Sion strat got nerfed, He is ready to climb the ranked ladder again, to abuse the shit out of the meta, To pick Vayne top, if that's the only way to crush his opponent's soul. He will teach them fear, he will teach them defeat. He will get out of bronze no matter the cost. "Why? Because I can."

After Arcane aired, The Call was such a epic sales pitch to an LoL beginner like me. I never played the games but i binged hourssssss of Skyen content along with Scooch, NickyBoi and Necrit. I'm so invested in the world, so this development hurts me.

Dude you know it's bad when 3 big YouTube creators within a week and a half of each other. All 3, 1 quit league ENTIRELY, And 2 are taking big steps back like WOW

I wish they took a completely different path with this. If they wanted a summoner's rift animation they could have either gone with taking seriously a team fight like "A new Dawn", or innocent fun like "You really got me". You could introduce the new jungle pets with a scene where Rengar destroys a big monster and then pets his little lizard friend who tries to help. It's really sad seeing a game with so much potential fading away because it's just too big to fail.

It genuinely looks like an Unreal Engine 3 tech demo. It even has that weird glossy effect from the default shaders lmao.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, this was the best cinematic ever, all the best champions appeared: Rengar, Kha'Zix, Evelynn, Teemo, Twitch, Shaco, Akshan, Kai'Sa, Qiyana, Vayne, Pyke all the way around, Aurelion Sol on the skies, Ivern, Maokai and Malphite on the background, the cinematic with the most champions until now, loved it!

We need more English teacher Skyen content in these trying times. Driving half baked "inspirational" poems into the dirt is downright cathartic. (This is a message from the now lost to time dark world version of this video)

I loved the part where Powder's VO shouted "Look at the cleanse! Look at the moves! FAKER WHAT WAS THAT?!?"

this is a perfect representation of the perfect league game - me wandering around the jungle without teammates or enemies getting in the way

"Riot, why did you make the new cinematic so boring, empty and soulless?" "Why? Because I can."
