League of Loreheads

The Shield of Valoran doesn't really shield anyone. He also isn't in Valoran. Well at lest his gems are really important, yeah? Taric has some good stories, but it's mostly about his past. We're interested in what he's up to now since apparently Viego wasn't enough of a threat to get involved. I mean, it's not like he's an Aspect of Protection or anything!   -----   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadm...

Unfortunately we already read all of what Riot has to offer for Talon, but it sure is fun to talk about him edging in the shadows while staring at Katarina. Or something. I'm still not really sure what The Edge is? Hopefully it doesn't mean Talon is going to sneak into the my house and ruin my furniture.   ---------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord!...

Did y'all know that Taliyah has a bunch of lore? Because we didn't. They started her in a pretty interesting place between Azir and Xerath, while possibly being the only one who could stop them both, but have decided to ditch that in favor of the void instead. Cool, I guess? At least it gives us a new ship!   ------ WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! ht...

Tahm Kench? Extremely cool. Demons in general? Meh, not so much. We need more info about demons in general, something lore fans have been complaining about long before this podcast came to be. We don't have a ton of backstory on The River King, and that's a good thing here, because all we need are these sweet, sweet stories about Tahm Kench doing what he does best: Luring people into a downward sp...

Sometimes we forget how old Syndra is, and then we remember when we look at her 15 quotes and read her lackluster lore. We got to use the "P" word again for this one because WOW does she have a lot of it. Between hating Ionia and not even knowing what the heck Noxus is, Syndra would pair up well with so many League champs. And yet, she has met none of them. She's just flying around Ionia throwing...

Mageseeker spoilers  1:34:45 - 2:06:53 Rebecca would like to note she's not nearly as pro-Sylas as this episode makes her sound. LOOK I JUST GET HIM OK I WOULD ALSO BE A VILLAIN IN HIS SHOES JUST WITH WAY LESS MUSCLES I AM VERY WEAK. Sylas has sooo much lore, and it's all extremely interesting. Weird! That's probably why this is over two hours long.   -------------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/lorehead...

So. Naafiri was a dagger. Now she's a dog. Neat! We might not have much here, but it's still fun, or maybe that was the rum talking. John's not impressed with Darkin, and asks Riot the most important question of all: Can dogs talk? We must know.   ----------   WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads...

You've heard about him, you've seen his cro- er, ravens perched across the rooftops of Noxus, but now is the time to finally answer the question: Do Swain and LeBlanc incorporate assassin-play in the bedroom? And do the birds watch, or is it more of a ceiling mirror situation? While we can't help but enjoy the overflowing-with-cool Noxian strategist, we also can't help but wish Riot would stop bei...

Reading about Soraka being from time immemorial gave us a warm, cozy feeling, like coming back to a familiar, thousand-year-old sweater. There's nothing about the goat lady that shocked or amazed us, and by the end we really were left wanting more for Runeterra's resident seer. At least we can sift through a bunch of banana jokes, and hear all about the various ways she had turned Warwick into a w...

We really loved the long story linked on Sona's Universe page, unfortunately Sona is barely in the dang thing. She has some good here, and some potential   of course, and uhhh a lot in common with a similar support. We're thinking with a mix of some old lore and a lot of changes to Seraphine, a lot could be fixed here.   ----------   WE HAVE MERCH! https://www.bonfire.com/store/league-of-loreheads...

Apparently The Crystal Vanguard is getting a lore update soon, and boy does he need it. There's so little here, and it's definitely all very confusing right guys? It wasn't just me? RIGHT???   --------   WE HAVE MERCH! bonfire.com/leagueofloreheads   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueoflore...

We've been getting through quite a few of the very first champions lately. Apparently Riot had a thing for the letter S! Sivir didn't have much going on until they used her to resurrect Azir and kick off a war between a bunch of Ascended, although Sivir doesn't seem to care about any of that (mood). She's a simple gal with dead parents who just wants to rob people, but also maybe uhhh take away As...

Without much lore to his name, everyone's favorite giant, undead, monster man left us to our own devices; devices which include conjecture about Sion being a literal big baby and workshopping Noxian infomercials. It might be nice for Riot to revisit Noxus' most recent revenant, but until then we'll have to hope Swain has been regularly changing out the straw in Sion's cage and feeding him sanguine...

We didn't expect The Mad Chemist to have much lore,  but here we are! Not only does he have a long story, it's extremely good and creepy and how is Singed the scariest thing in Zaun? We just need a little of the Arcane Singed to make his way into his voice lines please and thank you very much.   --------   WE HAVE MERCH! bonfire.com/leagueofloreheads   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! htt...

We apologize for how often we use the P word in this episode, but it just fits! This Half-dragon is half dragon, half human with purple skin, half vampire half...wait what? We're not entirely sure what's going on here, but there's certainly some good stuff. And also some confusing stuff because Riot decided to gut her bio for some reason.   ---------   WE HAVE MERCH! bonfire.com/leagueofloreheads...

What is Shen like? Well it depends on what story you're reading! We enjoy some versions of Shen, but we really need the guy to do a little more. Overall, some great potential here. And maybe just make Shen the Witcher.   WE HAVE SHIRTS! https://www.bonfire.com/store/league-of-loreheads/ ------------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreh...

Despite being in the game for an eternity, Shaco has about as much lore as Heimerdinger. Actually, maybe less, since he doesn't have a color story. Is the Demon Jester an old, haunted doll? Or is he just a regular dude who dresses like that? One thing is certain: He isn't a demon. But at least we have a billion Journal of Justice articles to go through.   ---------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads...

Sett has been out for a few years now and seems to be a fan favorite, and yet Riot hasn't seemed to do much with this Boss. We're always into a story that has nothing to do with the end of Runeterra, but we could still use a little more within Sett's world. Also please give us the Alistar comic.   -------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv...

There was a ton of hate when The Starry-Eyed Songstress was released, and we get it. Seraphine's not the worst though, surely, though a smidge misguided. A big ol' potential here, as always, so please give us an arrogant version of Sera because it just works .   -----------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://ww...

While we like Senna, it truly feels like we've gone over the Ruination every which way at this point. Although I guess not, because we'll be back again for Thresh! The Redeemer has a unique relationship in League though, having an actual canon romance and all, but we'd like for Riot to tug on our heartstrings a little more. Give us the pain we deserve please.   --------- Twitter! twitter.com/loreh...

Someone at Riot Games must be listening to this podcast, because they answered so many questions we had about Katarina. With some fun Katarina/Garen stuff, answers about Jarvan III, and a note on what Talon's up to. Nidalee also has a small bio update (although no word on this apparent Neeko friendship), and Bard got a short story.   ----------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t...

While Sejuani is clearly The Winter's Wrath, we're a little unsure just how wrathful this Warmother really is. She has a ton of lore, and so much of it is really great, but we need a little more consistency here. And please how big is Bristle? Is he a shed? A mammoth? We must know!   ----------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads...

Samira doesn't have a ton of lore, but what's here is pretty fun. And it sure is nice to see a hero who doesn't have to watch her parents die to become her cool self! At lease we didn't have to talk about Rise of the Sentinels much this time.   ------------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/lea...

Look at us, talking about The Gentle Flame right after his release! Milio brings a lot more light to Ixtal (GET IT?!) and we quite enjoyed Riot throwing his positive attitude in an incredibly dangerous and cruel place. Although it'll probably be a while before we see where Milio's story goes next, we have a solid start here.   -------------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/...

Here we all talk about our favorite purple guy The Rogue Mage, no wait the Ink Mage, no no no the RUNE Mage. Ryze has been around for a million years (LITERALLY AMIRIGHT), and he has gone through more lore reworks than maybe any other champion out there. Poor guy. One thing has never changed: The guy is very unpleasant.   ----------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C...
