League of Loreheads

While Camille, The Steel Shadow, might be an awesome lady, we're genuinely worried about the state of her feet. Can someone get this lady some cover-ups for her wildly sharp legs? This is important. But Camille manages to get beyond her scary, unreasonable appendages to do some dope stuff, so we still liked her.   ----------   Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy...

Our favorite Piltover Sheriff remains a mystery as Riot refused to give us the in-depth lore Caitlyn deserves. Who is C? Do we care? What would be on Caitlyn's dating profile? All questions we still have after reading Caitlyn lore stories that are actually about other people.   ------------   Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueofle...

Our favorite cheery Freljordian dad was a little disappointing lore-wise, which is something we just have to start getting used to, I guess. But Braum, the Heart of the Freljord, is a pure delight, although do you think he'd be more fun with a baby? Also, Riot, hire me to write Braum and Illaoi's love story please and thank you.   -----------   Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of...

Our favorite firey man Brand The Burning Vengeance doesn't have much going for him, but Kegan is hella cool and interesting.  There's a lot to unpack here, but we have to admit, we feel like we're missing a few pieces to help us connect this cool barbarian with the fire demon we all know and love.   CONTENT WARNINGS: Discussions of rape and assault in this episode.   -------------   Song Title: Dr...

Our favorite Great Steam Golem Blitzcrank lives a simple life, letting us finally take a break from the massive wars and cosmos.  They also, however, pop up in more Alternate Universes than I ever thought possible.  Join us as we dive into Zaun for the first time aboard the massive descender The Rising Howl.   ------------------   Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Court...

Like a lot of champions we've explored, Bard, The Wandering Caretaker doesn't have much going for him. Chill out with some smooth grooves and crunchy vibes as we soar the stars and debate the horrors Bard is willing to fly away from while he collects his meeps.   -------------------   Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.co...

Unfortunately, the lore for Azir, The Emperor of the Sands, is too messy for our liking. Like most champions, his backstory holds a lot of promise with little payoff. Unlike most champions, Azir's story is full of nonsensical decisions and massive plot holes, despite having a longer bio than most champions. Join us as we dissect where Riot went wrong with this emperor. Content Warnings for discuss...

Our favorite space dragon and star forger Aurelion Sol  is a pretentious little beast who opens the door beyond the stars before we've even explored all of Runterra. Although he doesn't have much lore, it is denser than that old fruit cake you got for Christmas. Fun game: count how many times we say the word "Insufferable"   ------   Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Co...

Our favorite Frost Archer, Ashe, has a lot to explore and explore we did!  Between comics, stories, and some fantastically interesting AU's, Ashe lends herself to some great arcs as she might be the strongest protagonist we've explored so far.   ------------   Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/ri...

Aphelios,  The Weapon of the Faithful has a surprisingly dark story involving quite a bit of self-poisoning, so to brighten things up we dreamt up some great skins he might get in the future. Help the Loreheads figure out who to trust in the Solari/Lunari battle as we wonder who is using who in this toxic (hah!) twin relationship between Aphelios and his twin, Alune.   -----------   https://league...

One of the original champions in League of Legends, Annie: The Dark Child has a  confusing mix of Absolutely Devastating backstory and Heartless Demon Child. Help us figure out where Annie fits in this universe as we pick apart her backstory and beautifully done cinematic.   -----------   Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegend...

Anivia, the Spongebob of the Freljord.  I mean...The Cryophoenix. Whatever. She basically has no lore, so we gotta fill in the spaces, and I, for one, like the Spongebob Alternate Universe. Since Anivia is our first Freljord champion, the Loreheads lay some groundwork for future frozen champs.   ---------   Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https:...

There's not much in the Amumu lore, so naturally John went off on the one short story we had and basically just...told you the entire thing. You're welcome! Our favorite sad mummy was a prince or a yordle, was a sweet boy or a tyrannical young prince. No one really knows, but all of Amumu's legends end the same: A little mummy was left to wander Runterra alone and drown in his sorrows for the rest...

So listen, The Minotaur Alistar doesn't have a lot going for him so we had to make some stuff up. What adorable champion would you like to see bash some baddies around with our favorite Minotaur? Or maybe you can go Mark's Frenemies route. Either way, this dude is a true support, and also can someone please get these chains off of him? Do they not have fantasy wire cutters or something?   --------...

The Rogue Assassin Akali has a great little backstory, but so do a bunch of side characters that we might have gotten a bit distracted by. Riot please give us a Faey champion I am begging. ------------------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ Image by Yuri_B fro...

The Nine-Tailed Fox, Ahri has a rich history of....um. Well, who knows? But it also features a K-Pop group and going to school with a bunch of monsters. Oh wait, those are the other universes. Wherever she is, Ahri is kicking ass and charming bitches with her nine tails. ------------------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegen...

The Darkin Blade Aatrox should really be a big pile of meat swinging a sword around, and  we can't figure out why Riot made him so dang sexy. If not a pile of meat, then maybe a Starbucks wall? Also, where's our Barn Bard skin, Riot? -------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-s...
