League of Loreheads

The Mechanized Menace. The Menaced Mech? The, uhhh, Menacing Menced Mechanic? (Is menace even a word anymore?) Anyway, Riot still has no idea what to do with their old yordles. Truly nothing in Rumble's lore could possibly be canon anymore, but at least the little guy has a personality, even if his 10 quotes are a billion years old.   -------------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https...

We all know the tragic tale of Riven The Exile and her broken blade that...can be repaired? Can't be? Or is that people? Maybe it's that they shouldn't be repaired? Who knows! At least we know Riven has been dragged back to Noxus, a massive step in her story of self-exile. Surely she's still there, awaiting her her showdown with Noxus. Riot wouldn't just have her leave to go fight a ghost or somet...

Riot Games has released their first full length novel, and we had a love of thoughts and feelings about it. Some good, some bad, but mostly we'd like a full length novel featuring literally anyone except Viego.   ------------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads   Song Title | Dr...

He's an older kitty with not much old lore. The Pridestalker has been pretty much the same since his release, stalking Kha'Zix and not really bothering with the world ending business of Runeterra. What's that? He's in Rise of the Sentinels? I don't recall this.   ------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.pa...

We didn't learn anything new with The Butcher of the Sands, but it sure is fun to complain about Azir, isn't it? This crocodile has been in the game for so long, we had plenty of old lore and AU's to explore. Renekton with a hat? On fire? With an erring in his...ear???? What the heck?   ---------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/lorehead...

Renata is refreshing on many levels, and we were extremely thrilled to get the Chem-Baroness  of our dreams. Mostly Rebecca's dreams, who makes her feelings about Renata very well known. Verrryyyy well known. Maybe too well known.    ------------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueoflorehe...

Let's not say the P word, but also we have to in this case. The Iron Maiden has oodles of potential that Riot unfortunately didn't feel like utilizing. Also pair Rell with just about anyone in Noxus, and I think you'll have gold. Or more iron.   --------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/league...

The Void Burrower has about as much lore as any other void champ. Okay, that's not fair. More than Cho'Gath, but less than Bel'Veth, but let's face it, having more lore than Cho'Gath isn't exactly an accomplishment. But do you know what is an accomplishment? Having one more word in your bio than Heimerdinger. You go, girl.   --------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4...

The Pride of Nazumah perhaps didn't ditch his pride as much as Riot thinks, but he's still a champ with some REAAAAL GREAT POTENTIAL. Classic. There's a lot of fun stuff here though, and we hope the lore team at Riot Games brings K'Sante into a lot of the drama going on in Shurima. Because there's a lot of drama there, y'all.   --------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E...

The Armordillo (sigh) is truly the epitome of everything we like to make fun of Riot for. SOME SAY he's a god and SOME SAY he's a creature and WE SAY we have no idea. But he's cute! Sooo that's something, yeah? Okay. All right. Yehhh.   ----   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads  ...

You can't have one without the other, so this week we're talking about two champions! The Charmer and The Rebel have their disagreements, but overall Rakan and Xayah are a wonderful pair who work together to defeat Shadow Nerds and protect Ionia. Also I think this is the first time we didn't talk about Rise of the Sentinels in...so long. I'm very proud of us. Thanks so much for joining us, Lack!  ...

Quinn (and Valor) have a pretty generic D&D-like tragedy going on, but it was still nice to see a Demacian with at least a little understanding of nuance here. With some old lore and a role in the Star Guardians, there's plenty to rattle on about. And rattle on we did!   ---------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! htt...

We FINALLY get some insight into Ixtal, and it only took us to episode 105! There are a lot of neat ideas floating around this part of Runeterra, and it is laden with that dreaded word - potential. Unfortunately, Riot seems to have tried making up for the lack of Ixtali lore by putting about 300 pages worth of worldbuilding and magic-system-explanations into a single short story, with mixed result...

Definitely Not Nautilus revenge sea boy! Okay, that's not his title. The Bloodharbor Ripper is violent and angry and has a big, bad list that never ends. Pyke is stuck in a bit of a loop, just like the Loreheads are stuck in a loop of out dated references our much younger audience doesn't get, including our guest this week. Thanks for hanging with us, Draasin!   ------------   Twitter! twitter.com...

The Keeper of the Hammer not only looks cute, her story is cute too! At least what we found from the links that actually worked. Poor Poppy is another one that's been left behind by Riot Games, despite her update. Although her bio is certainly better than it was, this hero of Demacia doesn't show up in recent Demacia events very much. NOT TO BRING UP RISE OF THE SENTINELS AGAIN BUT HERE WE ARRRREE...

Hello, friends! It was a holiday week, and we were busy with meeting each others' babies, so John put together a reel of some of our finest moments. We'll see y'all next week, and if you have any favorite Lorehead moments, let us know! He'd like to put together more of these in the future.   ---------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/lor...

We also didn't expect this episode to be 2 hours long. Pantheon has quite a bit going on, more than we expected anyway. Truly the Unbreakable Spear can never break. No matter how hard Rise of the Sentinels tried! And thank you for joining us Kyle! Was great to have you.   ---------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! ht...

Hello, Loreheads! Can you believe there have been 100 of these things? Wild! Thank you so much for listening, and for giving us some truly fun questions to answer this week. We'll see y'all next time for our regularly scheduled program.   -----------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueoflo...

We're very into The Fire Below the Mountain. He's warm, cuddly, and likes soup. What's not to love? Truly Ornn is clear and well done, and I don't think we have much to complain about here. Hm. What's to say? I feel like I need to whine about something, or it's not truly a Loreheads episode.    Nerf Irelia.   -----------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   T...

The Lady of Clockwork doesn't do much clockwork, but she is apparently very good at open heart surgery. While she's creepy in game, Riot took out a lot of that fun Orianna stuff and made her a sad Disney princess instead. It's not bad, but do we like her old lore more? Quite possibly.   -------------   Twitter! https://twitter.com/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads   Jo...

Although you wouldn't know it from his time with the Sentinels in The Ruination (EVERY ORIFICE), The Berserker is actually a bit poignant and witty sometimes. Olaf has a simple thing going, but it works for him, as he fights his way through the Freljord looking for...soup? And death!   -------------   Twitter! https://twitter.com/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads   Joi...

We all know The Boy and his Yeti have the saddest death animation/audio imaginable, but what else do they have going on. Music! Cuteness! Missing mommies! Ya know, the usual fantasy kid stuff.   ------------   Twitter! https://twitter.com/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads   Join our Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z   Song Title: Nunu & Willump, The Boy and His Yeti Art...

There isn't all that much on the items in League of Legends, but you know John went out of his way to come up with pages of notes anyway. From Doran, to old jungle items that Rebecca had to google, join us on our quest to not rant about the Ruination event again.   --------   Twitter! https://twitter.com/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads   Join our Discord! https://t.c...

With Mark still on paternity leave, Rebecca and John decided to take an hour to talk about their history with League of Legends, and each other! From first mains to first games, bad events and times we'll never forget.    -----------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1   Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads   Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads   Song Ti...

While we love the idea of The Joy Unbound being so joyous, we feel like Nilah has maybe a little too much going on. Can we please focus on the endless joy thing? Because that's horrifying. Fiddlesticks worthy horrifying. Bring me more please. Also please ignore our baby hiccups/sneezes. She didn't want to sleep for this one.   -----------   Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads   Discord! https://t.co/o2...
