I remember that Teemo got the soul devouring sea worm from the "Don't mess up with yordles" cinematic. Lulu mentioned it while seeing what's inside the bag
I believe Kled is like 600 ot 700 years old since he fought in the Fix Noxian War. He is after all the oldest Yordle now. Poppy was wandering and met Orlon before the established Demacia. So she should be around 300 years old.
@@w58461 Kled was alive before the creation of Noxus, and let me remind you everyone uses the Noxian calendar. Noxus is older than Demacia and Demacia is over 300 years old. The fact that Kled has no idea what is happening in Bandle City suggest he is older than the Scout Code too. Funny enough, Kled might have been the one that had taken Morderkaiser down as well, so he is pretty old.
Wish they wouldve kept the dark background and just explained it as thats what he had to turn into during a yordle war he forgot about since he already seems to have forgotten alot anyways. And then when they wouldve ASU'd corki they couldve made him a veteran of that war and expanded on that side of teemo through their interactions. Teemo forgetting it as a coping mechanism while Corki beign the polar opposite and not being able to let go couldve contrasted well imo.
Its sad that teemo lose his killer, scary, side he that was the thing that differentiates him from other yordles. Looking like a normal yordle cute fluffy but a proffesional deadly soldier it was a cool and different gimmick for him.
So basically Teemo is now an elder grandpa running around the world to try and remember the things he has forgotten and while doing so causes trouble for everybody else? Oddly relatable for an overgrown hamster with a shroom addiction.
Speaking as what I assume is the majority of English speaking humans, this is the first time I've ever seen the word Mycology, and if it weren't for the context, I'd have to look it up in the dictionary lol
most yordles excepet for poppy maybe are written as jokes. I remember when Veigar and Tristana had some dark tones to their stories but now its all too disneyfied....
@@MrTremorox I actually like that though. Yordles are those overpowered entities from a secret realm in a parallel dimension that nobody else can access with a carefree and unconcerned mindset. They are kind of like Tom Bombadil from LOTR which I really like. Another exception to that rule would be Heimerdinger.
Isn't it fine for him to say captain teemo? I always took that as a kid playing adult. he could call himself captain teemo... without actually being a captain. Kind of like how the yordle mayor pretends to be a mayor.
They should've left his iconic voice line in. If he's that old he can't remember his past too much they could've played it off as him being confident with his unsure past on who he is.
I just want to brag that I am the one who asked the Teemo x Tristana shipping question, I prepped that one specific question (I asked 4) by looking in the skin theme universes they shared and the one Trist share with Rumble (6 at least, compared to 1), and aside of that I also looked into the now obscure Mechs vs Minions board game voice lines.
ok hear me out. teemo, for all we know, could be a genuinely ancient being, right. now oral history is fairly unreliable and prone to distortion. my new headcanon is that teemo's lost copy of the bandle scout rules (rules that are kind of just about living life in a *good* but not necessarily *lawful good* way as leaving the world in a better place than one found it could realistically mean breaking laws that would otherwise force one to live badly, i'm sure you can think of an example from history) went on to be moderately corrupted into whatever illaoi's religion is. illaoi preaches "motion", which can mean all sorts of things. the literal interpretation would certainly fit with the "seek out every rock and tree" rule, and even the more metaphorical (and obviously intentional) interpretation as going and exploring new things is kind of the opposite of the stagnancy illaoi rails against. also one of illaoi's titles is the "truth bearer of nagakabouros" which fits in with the 4th rule about being honest. the only gap in this is the whole "kindness" thing, and while illaoi definitely isn't kind, but you could also see that as the ends justifying the means - leaving the world a better place by killing people who aren't kind. oh and also fluffy is nagakabouros. she eats souls (or, spirits i guess but same thing) and fluffy was a soul devouring sea worm. only minor hang-up is that fluffy is male but hey nagakabouros has a beard, maybe eldritch deities are beyond mortal gender definitions.
I think the festival Tristana mentions might actually be a reference to the Bandlewood festival from the LOR Beyond the Bandlewood trailer as Ava was sent by Teemo to collect items to complete a float
I didnt get "senile , dementia , old" vibes at all. Rather just a oblivious or as stated just disregarding care free yordle. Also not remembering past adventures or whatever could be due to having so many hes lost track. Or only fairly signifigant things to teemo are kept in his memory while the less important to him are forgotten which is normal. All love Necrit i just don't see the old , senile , dementia claims with anything shown in this video.
i hate teemo with a passion, but i'm glad his vgu was a hit, i'm glad he's got an "arcane" position in the main lore, and why do i feel like fluffy is Baron.
While i like Teemo's new lore, i'm gonna miss his old "friendly in bandle city / psycho in the battlefield" lore. Like yeah, it makes sense that the deadliest and most psychotic member of the Bandle Scouts would be getting his bombs from the Zaunite black market drug trade.
They don’t even have to make him psychotic leave that for fan head cannons. They should have kept the Scouts as a branch of the bandle city military/defense force with tristana
I never once thought of the bandle scouts as a military, I literally just saw them as protective boy scouts. I'm going to miss Teemo's "captain teemo on duty" line, it was one of my favorites.
Pretty sure this links to the Legends of runeterra animation where yordles saved him, and he captures a soul devour sea snake and pretty sure tristana has is scout journal cause she says something like "the bildgewater pages are missing", so maybe she has the journal? Edit: i rewatch the animation and it looks like Tristana just trash the journal the moment she see Lulu, idk why jaja
@@milanesadearsenico the hell do you mean by that? ptsd killer soldiers are cool. obviously very sad in real life, but league of legends is fiction. Well, we don't wanna glorify murderers, so I guess we should delete Jhin and Zed from the game too. We also don't wanna glorify depression, so delete Amumu while were at it. Come to think, Swain is a dictator. Definitely don't wanna glorify those, toss him in the bin.
I don’t understand their issue with the yordle military? They literally left in references to bandle GUNNER tristana and to corki. It’s one thing if they just didn’t want that direction for teemo, but you guys already made 4 yordles about the military. Hard to retcon that one.
I’m not sure I like this teemo lore update. Yea they say it’s weird he is in the military but so is tristana and corki. Bandle city does get attacked by monsters every now and then. If bandle city shouldn’t have a military What are they going to do corki and tristana? Make her a simple fireworks seller or a make corki a flying mailman? The Scouts could have easily been a part of the bandle city defense force with tristana and they could have still let teemo go on personal scout adventure by himself.
Does the thing about him losing his book in Bilgewater and having a soul worm as a pet refer to what happened in the cinematic "Don't mess with Yordles"?
Not sure the memory loss implies he is old, many things can cause memory lost and i feel like it isn't mention other then "long loss memory, meaning he lost a memory while back. Then again all yordle are old. but relatively speaking, he could be considered young amongst yordle and his age doesn't have to be the cause of the memory loss.
Soul-Devouring Sea Worm? Hi being very old? Do we actually know where the Baron comes from? It would fit perfectly in his lore, if he just released a catastrophe in to the wild.
I guess they want to separate Bandle Scouts from Bandle Gunners now. It seems like he was meant to be in a Military like group in the Legends of Runeterra short with Trist and Corki.
The part about soul-devouring sea worm is a reference to one of Tales of Runeterra cinematics where Teemo got captured by Graves when he was in Bilgewater to capture one.
Now i kinda wanna see some of the real ancient yordles- The ones that were the first motes of magic appearing in bandlecity or whatever came before that
