League of Loreheads

Warwick was cool even before his ties to Arcane, but now? MORE PLEEEEEASE! The Uncaged Wrath of Zaun has  a great story and is featured in the greatest piece of entertainment Riot has created to date. And he'll be in season 2!  Also Singed is great.   -------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/lorehead...

We've gone over a lot of Volibear's stories already, but we seriously don't mind because this thunder bear is cool as heck. Ok so his motives are a little strange—Rebecca feels a little bad for making fun of him so much—but they're clear . He wants murder and really hates carrots!   -----------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8...

Vlad had way more lore than we were expecting, and some of it might actually be canon still! He's a champion with some connections but mostly wants to be on his own, in a way that actually works for us. What doesn't work? Why is he Viego's nephew? We're very confused by this.   --------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1...

Yet another champ that has basically no canon lore on the universe page since Arcane became canon. Riot bounced a lot of ideas around with this guy. Misunderstood madman? A complete and total villain? Jayce's boyfriend? All of the above?!   ----------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patr...

Although Riot promised there would be other forms of lore for new champions, we haven't seen much evidence of that yet. We still wanted to read about Smolder and see what the heck is going on with dragons. Unfortunately, we still don't know. But we are  holding out hope that the MMO is in the works, and Riot will deliver on some other lore methods in the future.   -----------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit....

We hit 1 million downloads this week! Yay! We couldn't have done it without y'all, obviously, and wanted to celebrate by answering some questions from our lovely listeners. It was nice to reflect back and get excited about the Runeterra MMO. WHICH IS DEFINITELY STILL HAPPENING YES? YESS??   ------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W...

We've gone over this so many times, we needed to bring in a guest to help us out. Since the lovely Sarah knows absolutely nothing about Viego (BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST I GUESS), we thought she could provide some insight as an outsider. Or at least be someone we could tell the story to because we've all been over this a million times.   -----------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadm...

With Arcane officially being canon, Vi's lore is basically all irrelevant at this point. It was still fun to go through what Riot had in mind for her. Although we definitely prefer Arcane Vi. She's just so cool!!!   -------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com...

Like most yordles, Vex doesn't have much lore, but at least she's in Rise of the Sentinels. Yay... The Gloomist is a cute little emo yordle though. Almost cute enough to forgive the use of the word "normie". Almost.   ---------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon...

We have mixed feelings about the lore moving forward. Getting stories via games like this feels so cool , but Riot Games has gotten rid of Riot Forge, so what does that mean for future games and lore? Hopefully we learn more soon. Meanwhile, this was a great way to feel more connected to Runeterra and the handful of champions we got to see. We need more!! And the MMO.   It's Me and You Song: https...

Like most void champs, Vel'Koz is rocking with very little lore and nowhere to go. Still, he's a simple but effective tool for the Watchers in the void. Now, if only we knew what the watchers were.   ----------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueoflore...

Veigar is a simple idea Riot Games figured out pretty early. There have been shockingly few changes to one of League's oldest champions, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Veigar is fun, hilarious, and has so much potential with a ton of other champions.

Although Vayne's in game play hasn't changed much, Riot has tweaked her lore a few times here and there. She's always loved killing monsters, but these days she does it while acting a little less like Batman. They're also shying away from her being a weirdo villain. Mistake!!   ----------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=...

Varus has quite a bit of lore, but as a Darkin, we feel like he comes up a little bit short. He sure is hot though! And there's three whole dudes in there. That's cool, right?   -------------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads   Song Title...

Although we weren't expecting any color stories for a while (or at all), League's new champion came with one! The Loreheads have some mixed feelings about Hwei, but we do love that Riot is paying attention to lore everyone loves (did you know Jhin is one of our most downloaded episodes?) He's a sad painter boy who loves poetry and maybe murder. And paint magic or something.   ----------   WE HAVE...

The big bundle of bald badness from below left a strong impression on us; mainly that he's really cool looking and generally scawy. Which is quite lucky for him, because the dread is most certainly nought in the details, from a lot of yada-yada-yada in the bio to a near literal REEL MISSING moment from his stories. Enjoy our repeated mentions that big Urgot should make an appearance in S2 of Arcan...

Briar doesn't have much to chat about here, so we thought we'd use her episode to also discuss why she doesn't have much to talk about. Riot Games has some big lore changes coming, and of course we have big feelings about them. We also quite enjoy Briar's vibe, but please, for the love of everything, make the Black Rose less incompetent.   ------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! tw...

Although Udyr got a rework recently, we still feel that his lore needs a little help. Perhaps there's too much here? Who'd of thunk it! With an exceptionally long bio and and a story that makes no sense, we're left feeling that maybe there were too many cooks in the kitchen for the Spirit Walker. But hey, at least he's got that one really amazing story! And also Spirit Walkers are very cool (and s...

Fellow loreheads, we have a new record for shortest bio! Who would have though it could get worse than yordles or void champs? We certainly didn't. This poor little rat hangs around Zaun and uhhh that's pretty much it? Maybe he'll get something in Arcane, because that seems to be his only hope.   ------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/...

We've already covered just about everything when it comes to Twisted Fate, but we had no complaints about going back to some of the best stories Riot Games has ever created. With comedy, action, romance, and character development??? this is basically everything we always ask for.   ------------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8...

Like most champs that are older than dirt, this Barbarian King are basically no lore. What's really tough is that it's boring! Even the old stuff!  Who has boring Journal of Justice articles?! Tryndamere, apparently. But at least he has a great love story. Just trust us, these two people who have never interacted on page before are super duper into each other.   ----------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/...

It's hard to imagine Trundle and Lissandra having a conversation, but here we are. The Troll King has gone through some changes over the years. We're proud to report he's still very gross. Actually, he might be LESS gross? Wild! Anyway, sorry about all the toot talking!   ---------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twi...

We're back, friends! And ready to talk about a yordle that actually has some lore?!  Not unheard of but wow, how rare. This yordle gunner loves running around the world and shooting people with her giant canon. Non-lethally, of course. How is that possible? Runeterra turns into a cartoon when yordles are around. Uhhh, don't worry about it!   -----------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twit...

It's quite appropriate that we welcome the arrival of the scariest month of the year with the big bundle of spooky chains himself. As Runeterra's actual factual villain, we're happy to see Riot willing to spend some time with the chain warden, most recently filling out his background via the Ruination novel. Aside from the expected (murder, taunting Lucian, more murder), we also enjoyed reading ab...

You may think this Swift Scout, who has been in the game longer than like EVERYONE, might have more than a bio. A story. Just a single story? Or maybe a bio that has any bit of canon in it? Well, you'd be wrong! Riot has no idea what to do with Teemo, but thankfully, we do. Make him Ascended! There ya go.   --------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord!...
