"It might not be okay now. You might not be okay for a while. And that's fine. But someday, without knowing exactly when or why or how it happened, you'll feel happy" My feelings...
This Piltover/Zaun lore keeps getting better. Glad to see that Janna's been promoted from a 'lady of the night' to a deity, and the story covered in this video was quite touching.
UPDATE: I just got it confirmed by Scott Hawkes (Riot Jaredan) that the character in the 2nd part is in fact a boy! Nothing changes at all but let's keep the facts straight.
I really liked this story, it was heartwarming and felt like it had a moral and really showcased janna in a strong way, living up to her supporting nature. i also thought the kid was a heavily relatable figure and i think that showcasing a vulnerable character like that was a great idea. i have to say hats off to riot, their lores been getting better and better, im really enjoying the full stories.
I'm a Janna main and this story just makes me love her even more than I did before. The last story almost made me cry because it was so beautiful and because it has such a great meaning behind it...
wow, I main Janna. She's also my fav. champ. because of her "Storm inspired" powers....that lore of her is so inspiring and breathtaking!! Thank you, in behalf of Janna!!
This was straight up beautiful. Thank you so much for making these videos. I don't enjoy playing the game anymore, but after 4 years of playing I still care about the lore and everything around it. And I'm so glad riot is finally, _finally_ creating good, meaningful and well thought out Lore.
As a Janna main this story of hers makes perfect sense, even in-game! She's strong because she has us Janna players to play her, and in return we're strong because of Janna New-found respect for this character!
I find it amazing how he can make 15 minutes seem like a few seconds. Just how good he is at story-telling and how he interprets it, he speaks with such chivalry. Can't wait for more videos
No, it's a girl. There's a line in the story where they say, "Boy I loved didn’t love me back." If the boy's gay then sure it's a boy.... but honestly I don't buy that. It's most likely a girl.
I see this makes Janna more complete as a character, but I am a bit sad about her no longer been human. Again, not for her herself, since this gives her more relevance and a better explanation about her powers and apearance. What I feel sad about is that now it makes Zaun an even worst place, she was the only good human coming out from there, now the place is make out of monsters, either artificial or not. She was the bit of original goodness from the poor place that is Zwan. But anyway, Janna is at least relevant on the lore now, I can't say that about the original Support herself: Soraka. The new lore left her entirelly irrelebant now.
The part where Janna told her it was okay and she wouldn't know when or how it happened but she'd be happy- that got me in the feels like, that was so deep and just like what I FELT I need to be TOLD, like damn Janna is so just motherly and I love it
I think this is the best lore for Zaun. Why? Because it made Zaun more human. Before it was just a city of mad science and sadism. Now it has it's own mythology and beliefs, it does have people living there instead of just psychos like Singed and Warwick.
We have a saying in Dutch. "Met de hoed in de hand kom je door het ganse land" . Which translates to, "with your hat in your hand you can travel across the entire country." Which basically means if you are polite value chivalry, you will always have more luck achieving anything
I wonder why Jinx is getting a Zaun story?.. I always thought that she wanted to destroy Piltover because progress was for her boring..? And when Warwick taunts her he says "You were there", "let me forget", soo?
here are those sorcerers who give themselves over to the primal powers of nature, forgoing the learned practice of magic. Such a sorceress is Janna, who first learned magic as an orphan growing up amidst the chaos that is the city-state of Zaun. Janna eked out what living she could on the streets. Life was tough and dangerous for the beautiful young girl, and she survived by her wits, and by stealing when wits weren't enough. The rampant magic that characterizes Zaun was the first and most alluring tool which Janna realized could both protect and elevate her. Janna discovered that she had an affinity for a particular type of magic - the elemental magic of air. She mastered her studies of air magic in a matter of months, almost as if she was born of it. Janna went from a street vagrant to an avatar of the air virtually overnight, stunning and surpassing those who taught her. Such a rapid ascension also changed her physical appearance, giving her an otherworldly look. Seeking to right the injustice in the world (particularly the insanity that has become the city of Zaun), Janna has brought her talents to the League. She is a voice for the regulation of magical experimentation and a supporter of the development of techmaturgy, making her an indirect ally of the city-state of Piltover and the amazing techmaturgical minds that live there. Janna is also a new favorite of the League's many fans. She is often the center of attention at functions, fan appreciation days, and other celebratory events. There is something untouchable about Janna, however, and her affections can change as quickly as the wind. Do not be captivated by Janna's beauty. Like the wind, she is one gust away from terrible destruction. Isnt ^ the lore ._.
You may have missed it, but Riot removed the League of Legends and the Intitute of War from the lore/narrative a few years ago. :P na.leagueoflegends.com/en/creative-spotlight/dev-blog-exploring-runeterra They have since been working hard on building the world of Runeterra and its narrative from the ground up, and with that, they've been releasing these story/lore updates, to match the new narrative- Like how we recently got an update for Piltover, Zaun and the two cities' champions. If you want, you can check out Universe, which is where updated/new stories will get first: universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/ Although, keep in mind that not every piece of story is up to date just yet (quite a lot of it is, though).
Hey Necrit. I am a huge lore enthusiast, in all games to be honest :D. finding out about your channel about a year ago was amazing. Thank you. for everything.
soo ww taunt to: Vi- who tetched you to punch? Zoun needed you! Jinx- You were there!+something else i cant remembre Ekko- You are the only persons that runs to the past! WW WAS IN JINX,EKKO,VI GANG?
This fits Janna so much. The fact that it emphasizes how she needs others to be truly strong just reflect her in game. Full damage Janna of old isnt there anymore but if she has her team then Janna can destroy the enemy team with ease.
I've been playing Janna for a while. She's the main character I play for support, and the only character I've gotten an S for. (Two actually) But I think after hearing this lore I might enjoy playing her a ton more. I'd been losing the want to play her, but this lore is so interesting and adds a whole new light to Janna and I love it. :D
Those words Janna said literally made me cry , I just looked back at my past , how everyone was Soo mean and cruel to me , but I forgive them all because God is the creater and the Almighty one , no matter who you are in the end every will be questioned and be judged by God .
Zaun is a place full of tragedy. So many mad gone experiments and brutal crimelords who are causing terror in the streets. So many shattered dreams and destroyed lifes. It's just so amazing. A place full with Punkstyles, from Clock- to Steampunk. I love this place so much. *u* I am sure that that there are a lot of mistakes in there, but english isn't the language I grew up with so... meh.
So Janna is a lesbian elemental wind spirit that helped bunch of ungrateful people who fell into the water after and earthquake and later she started making out with a girl she "blessed" *Wink wink* and threw a rich guy into the Zaun's depths? Yeah seems like a usual support life.
the girl is apparently a boy in most languages, but was changed to a girl in certain languages due to the whole same-sex crush he had at the start of his story not being liked in places like russia. but i think either way jokes aside it was more just comforting loving affection to a suicidal kid telling them its gonna be okay xD
+Necrit just one thing if you want to edit it at 12:09 i think you ment to say everyone in Zaun and those above it were staring not Piltover since Pilover is above Zaun
Necrit Warwick has something to do with the gang Jinx, Ekko, and Vi were apart of. If you litsen to his rework interactions with those charters, (specficaly Jinx) he speaks as if he knows them. please look into this you're friend Implantedstraw.
Really enjoyed this one, your voice acting/toning is really good and suites the lines and scene one get and even better you pull out fitting music to it and the scenes. GREAT GOOD JOB my hat of for your. :D By the way, what's the names of the music played in it? :3
Janna is the most caring and loving champion we've got. Only Soraka can compete with her. Why the hell I can't play a single champion I like lorewise for shit?
