@@c0l0rslayer31 olaf can actually die, but he's fated to die in a rather boring way, in his sleep. So it's conditional immortality, if he doesn't rest fate will do everything to stop him from dying. He won't get shot in the head and shrug it off like nothing, but more like he'd never be in a position where he'd get shot in the head in the first place.
Wraith from the mist attacks mother and her children. Kills both brutally tearing their meat and taking their souls for eternal suffering on the Shadow Isles. Meantime Vex: The "WorsT" Day In My LIFE, normies can't have fun. PS. I really love Ruination xd
That, I hate that so much, I only hop[e that the Yordles didn't know what she did otherwise they should never have accepted her back. It doesn't make any sense at all.
Vex is the perfect "friend" for amumu. She never is going to admit he is her friend, so the curse cant act, they are not "friends" (Or thats my theory :P)
But the curse is about everything he touches, doesn't? Even the Kindred wants Amumu to stay away, probably because of his touch and not the friendship.
but have you ever thought that the meaning of yordle life is to make people happy and that vex is doing that job for the lost souls of the shadow isles without even knowing it?
@@notgilbirth I see...but I mean do yordles then come out fully grown? or do they supposedly 'age' until they just 'stop aging'? Like clearly some yordles look and sound more aged then others...
So Vex's fascination with death and knowing she will never get to be part of that is why she's depressed. Essentially she's what would happen if Karthus could never die.
Vex would be friend with Buddha (the Mist Cant hurt Buddha) Buddha would understand Vex Being and Vex would has a Good conversation all day with Buddha even love him.
I don't know how it works in Runeterra lore, but aren't Liches immortal too? While technically dead their spirits will still go on forever in undeath, won't they?
@@sneeakosneeako8598 Doesn't Fiddlesticks have a line where he says "Teemo"? The only time he uses champions names when they're demon like Evelynn or Raum.
@@MegaMegajennifer I wouldn't say immortal. This quote is back from season 2 where lore wasn't really fleshed out. Urgot is kept alive by zaunite technology, if it malfunctions he will likely die. Even so, he should have some sort of expiration date even if he gets propper mechanical care because of how corrosive and caustic zaunite technology is, with the only exeption to this rule being Viktor's tech.
I think they drew that out from a style known as ''Pastel Goth'', which is supposedly defined as ''a representation of a sense of dualism expressed through clothing, and sometimes hair'' which is represented through the use of both black and pastel colors at the same time with the intent of contrasting them, accompanied with eccentric accessories (Such as a ridiculous steel or brass chain on one of the sides of the skirt, altern thigh high socks, like one of black and pastel green lines and one of net, and shirts or blouses with things written in Japanese, etc.), and is basically a symbol of being an extremely edgy teen screaming for attention. An example of the most simple and less visually offending outfit fitting in this category is the one of cover art of a song called ''Shaii'', composed by Geoxor, out of which I have seen a few times in real life. This style seems to stem (don't take my word for it, I'm just drawing obvious conclusions) from people who are like the eccentricity of both goth and weeb styles and combining both, usually in rather questionable or overdone ways, but if done correctly, it does look nice for even normal people. It obviously differentiates from ''regular'' Goth and middle points, such as ''introvert dark'', for using colors other than white and black, and because they reject non-pastel colours and oversimplified clothing (characteristic of us ''dark room'' PC gamers and closet weebs, in which we are the embodiment of minimalism in terms of clothing, as it doesn't matter if you are in the dark anyway, the only thing you will see is the accent colors of our machines, accessories and peripherals, which are primary colors) As far as why I know this shit, it's because 1.- society groups all of us in the same category due to the similar styles and tastes in terms of clothing, 2.- I'm developing some characters with ages around 16-20 that are this edgy (Mainly to mock the edgyness of some of my friends), and 3.- The majority of my friends are in either one of the three previous points in terms of tastes. (They are mostly either PC gamers or weebs though) Sooo, Rito was obviously mocking a very specific sector of the population with this champ, a rather interesting move considering how small the Pastel Goth community is due to their sheer edgyness.
If Yordles are magic manifested into physical beings, what happens if they encounter petricite, the stone (and tree it comes from) that absorbs and "eats" magic?
@@johnmaverick5932 no. You see there is different kinds of magic. Petricite stops most magic stuff but not all. True ice Aspects Demons Theese are the ones we know. And it probably wouldnt stop yordles either.
@@jimmulaneyfue yuh, we know that petricite absorbs and stores magic, so there should be a limit depending on the size and purity So stronger and purer magic should be harder to store
Vex: Ugh... my parents and friends are so lame... they love me unconditionally and are immortal, so they're just gonna support me forever and ever and never perish. Jinx: Must be nice.....
@thunderdrae aatrox has 2 A's, but his story is just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
sooo... legends of runeterra gets battle academia skins, boards and emotes. they are full of cool easter eggs and cameos of other champions like academia darius even when they werent same world. necrit would you make small but cool video about this small update.
Devs literally tried to risk checking out if depressed character is going to better sell among modern youth who doesn't care about winning but playable character is fitting.
"Rift news are getting slowly more popular than me covering the lore" well Necrit honestly when it comes to making a video about the lore if you set up your green screen and explain the lore exactly like your rift news videos while we see you go around in the screen, I think your lore videos popularity would go even higher.
Not sure actually, coz lore interest only a few part of lol players... So you could make whatever format you want it will always be less popular than news about the entire game
@@deltnira But also don't forget that when you have your webcam on you would naturally make a better connection with your audience and potentially even draw some attention from those who don't know who you are so you'll even have new viewers.
I think Yordles are ageless, Kled looks like someone that had some close encounters. So cheer up Smallfry, a Full sttack Ultimate of a Full AD Darius will end your misery.
Kled looks like he fought every war and battle there was on the world :p Thats why i love him, guy is pure battle experience and harshness of war time himself :)
But given that she isn't on her final moments, she couldn't even get to see them, but i will say, some people have seen the kindred without dying soon, after important deaths
@@16Vessel i'd imagine that it's a bit easier for shadow isles champs to see her as they are in a state of both dead and undead, i know vex isn't dead and 'cannot' die, but she is still around and seems to have adapted well to the magic, so i'd say it's fair to assume that she can at least see kindred, even if she can't interact with her
If shed be popular which i guess she will with her broken kit, look at my boi yorick mori, guy is literally bag full of mist, mist theme came out and i guess.. Nobody plays him so they skipped him over in it... Its all about new skin possibility and more money :( Yoricks ult looks like floating donut that was made by 6y old
So if ppl play her she will get her own event story i bet, thats like... New skin for kind red and Vex. And you can even add 20th Lux skin too cuz theres never too many :(
It makes me wonder, Why hasn't Vex started looking for Lamb and Wolf yet? All she has to do is look for people who are going to die or have died but have not made their choice.
I thought yorldes in general can't die. They live for thousands of years and fought immense challenges yet they didn't die because their magic or something. Kled and Veigar had been beaten up for their whole lives but they still live. Idk.
Vex's parents are fantastic and what all parents should aspire to be. Love unconditional acceptance in spite of the parents own wants and ideas for their child. We should all be so lucky to have parents like that and strive to be parents like that.
Kindred will die when no one can believe/remember them. Aurelion is technically alive, and will also die due to that. The void would be the only thing that we don't know if are alive, so could the watchers die?
@@16Vessel Probably not. The Watchers were around before even "existence" came to be. They were just sleeping, unaware that they themselves were even a thing.
Please Necrit, do more Lore Videos, you are the pillar of help In Lore we Khow, we love your Lore videos, you still didn't cover Veigar Cards, and Veigar as a lot of cool things around him!
Noo not quite. It's an observation on courage more than anything. How doesn't equate with That as in 'That they lived'. Losing a measurement that one Can get of a person's love for life while observing their death/removing death doesn't mean they don't have their own How or enjoyment in life. I.e. just cus you don't get to see how they die doesn't mean they aren't living. You don't need impending death to find purpose and happiness in living, though the challenge or 'limited time offer' of life for others can spice things up.
"Think, Lulu, think. What will you have in the next 500 years ?!" And before you say something, double "think" was in the comic and it's better than the show.
@@desuordie4856 I can agree with that, but damn they broke first arc by needless introduction of later stuff and throwing set ups while relying on punclines dumbing down characters.
I do really like Vex’s design, and her association with Viego was interesting, however short it was. But I just don’t personally jive with the whole emo archetype, and hers seems to be that turnt up to 11. I’m sure other people love it, it’s just not my jam. Personally? I love me some wholesome types, like Malphite’s in LoR :)
This. I don't like Vex either, I mean her voicelines are fine, funny and relatable sometimes. But her whole "being emo bc i want to, and I hate happiness as a whole" Is just...so dumb. Like i can understand if her backstory was more...tragic? But her parents love her even when she tell them, she almost destroy the world, and she just...threw a tantrum?? idk, her character feels too 2 dimensional for me.
I kinda prefer "perky Goff" types. Super sugary sweet spooky fun every single day throughout the wheel of the year. Sad jaded Goff girl not quite as good.
Same, depression is a serious mental issue, not a personality quirk. Her whole bratty schtick reminds me of myself when I couldn't deal with my own issues, honestly her voicelines make me cringe.
Let's be real, Vex and Veigar team up story just writes itself. Outside of their motif and colours, Vex idea of immortality being bane for yordles is perfectly shown in the history of Veigar (Also probably Kled).
its interesting that Vex is kinda like a Karthus but sees more the beauty in being ephemeral rather than just be obsessed with it. Still she seems more to believe death is the point and not that death is the closing act to give actions and etc more meaning or perhaps its more a doctor manhattan case without the not feeling human anymore and mostly just the boredom
Vex spreading misery is a result of balance, all that happiness that the yordles exude, make vex the balancing darkness. As result she is also very good at "pushing people's button"
@@axell15thewispmaster51 funny, i just mentioned diamonds when somebody said that beauty doesn't last. and then i imagined vex with a k/da all out skin singing kai'sa's lines
I understand the dilemma that immortality might bring, but the meaning of life being death is too simple. The meaning of Birth is to Die, as both things cancel each others. The primal meaning of life is to cling into it, survival instincts for most part of non sapient beings. Yordles might be eternal beings... but can they die from injuries or starvation? If so, they have to precure sustenance, that's a purpose, survive and maybe continue a chain by birthing new yordles. Now... when we take into consideration sapience, then that survival instict gets complicated, as we know we might die, we want to feel that time was worth by leaving a legacy so we get remembered. That's why we create art or put or names into discoveries, so people who never met us would see it and think about us, we fear being forgotten and that fight against oblivion is what make us do things most of the time. Yordles are inmortal but, did they remember everything they have done? they may forget what did they eat a thousand years ago... If so, they must have the same need to be remembered, to do something worthy of their eternal time. That's why yordles love to see humans, because they inspire them to leave a mark. Poppy to find the Hero, Tristana to be a leader, Lulu to bring happiness to others, Veigar to become the most EVIL and Tallest , Heimerdinger to create, Rumble to gain respect... And the list goes on. Life is a Journey, maybe an eternal one for the yordles, but the importance of a journey is the things you do along the way. Bring happiness, bring gloom, create a mechadyno... Leave an everlasting mark in this world.
@@AltiusMax It was more of a joke. Albert Camus was Absurdist. In his philosophy point of "life" is death. Of course in less literal way his philosophy was that life had no point but unlike Nihilist who are just waiting for death as there is no other point, Absurd just go with life till they die, there is no point waiting for death either, it will come when it comes. Still quite interesting lad. "Stranger" is fairly well small written novel.
@@iceilliden1910 I agree with the part where he said we are the ones who try to assign order and reason to reality. Interesting yet a bit nihilistic... I'll try to get my hands on that novel. Thanks stranger from the internet XD
Does the harrowing usually enter Bandle City? I can't recall any story mantioning this, and it seems a bit weird that happened before Vex empowered the mist...
it can. creatures can take bandle portals like yordles. In the lvl up animation of tristana in lor we can see her fighting against trolls who try to take the portal
I think they should have made Vex a regular Yordle who got fascinated by Shadow Isle then started making stories about herself being so edgy and all. At least it would make more senss imo rather than make herself born miserable or some explained things like that.
I feel bad for her uncle. I can understand wanting to be alone and depressed, but I would never want to make someone cry to get my point across. Being frustrated towards someone for being too persistent can easily turn your sadness into anger and then into spite. People like her uncle mean well enough, but need to realize when to stop. This goes especially for people who are fragile and cling to every ounce of happiness they can find. Sounds to me like her uncle was in denial about things. Denial can be a dark place. You always walk on the edge of that deep, dark abyss. Happiness is your thin wooden railing. If you get knocked off balance, you better be able to right yourself or else you fall in. Sometimes there's no way out. Sometimes it takes another person to help get you out. However, once you fall in, that experience will haunt you forever. It will never leave you. It will always be there, in the shadows, around the corner, in your dreams and in your favorite things. You will never feel satisfying experiences ever again without that constant threat looming over and lurking close. Anyway, I hope her uncle is doing ok. It's kind of implied he gets lost in the shadow isles. I hope he made it out or will make it out.
We don't actually know if they can't die, and it makes ZERO SENSE that they can't, they wouldn't act with such care to stay alive in dangerous situations if they couldn't die. They have PHYSICAL bodies that interact with the world. Riot keeps doing wrong by Yordle lore and this is one of the dumbest things they have done, and futhermore no character should be bound by a destiny that they can't control. Otherwise every single Yordle might as well be an NPC.
That's ..... kind of the other point, because the whole fatalism exists as idea of already made fate, but Vex puts up front that if they're mirror of cultures and manifestation of magic, what makes it their life worth something? Vex is still "I'm 14 and that's deep" emo kid mind, but that's an actual existential question, because if Bundle city is their save haven where they can live with no issue, than what makes it wort it?
I dont know why People keep take this lore seriusly. Riot always change and mix every facts from the game that you dont really know now did demacia is noxus or noxus IS demacia. Good example are reworks there is no Bond between old and New version of the chempions like my poor eve from mysterious and vampire-like lady that is mercenary to genderless demon who feeding on pain... And no. This is not develop progres its Just walking in circle over and over.
interesting theory. i just thought maybe shadow is a bit happier cause he likes being friends with vex or some of the dark magic shadow absorbed to come to life was from somebody who was happy
So yordles are essentially whimsical spirits that exist for any purpose they can think of. Also I get the feeling that Veigar would be the only yordle Vex would relate to, despite his mild disconnect with reality.
I'm curious how Vex and Kled would get along (if Kled didn't annoy her to death that is), they are two Yordles with a very unique outlook on their lifes
They would hate each other. Kled is too loud and Vex can't die meaing she could stay on his property indefinitely. I could definitely see them being a nice, looney tunes likr comedy duo. If Kled is Yosemite Sam, Vex could be his depressed Bugs Bunny.
is anyone really likes Vex? Honestly when I first saw her and read her story I cannot believe Riot actually thought this was a good idea. We get it edgy always miserable teen goth girl. A concept has been done to death. She would be more tolerable if she also wasn't a genocidal misantrope.
Honestly this short story still feels dumb. Its basically a yordle being put into an existential sadness because some other yordle said something pseudo-deep and edgy about death being good.
It's fitting for the character, and it has some truth about Yordles, they can't die, so they are doomed to forever walk doing the same things over and over again, it's like how in TLOR the mortality of humans is thier greatest gift
are u fucking serious? It explains yordles and it turns vex from an emo stereotype to an actually good character. Shes still an emo stereotype but she just happens to be a yordle so she has a good reason to be sad.
Vex isn't meant to be some super deep masterpiece of literature. What's more in character for an edgy teen than thinking something vaguely cynical is super deep and lifechanging?
@@saltytoast6669 The problem isn't Vex but rather her uncle. It implies that Yordles have never even noticed death. Well Kled murders people on a regular, Teemo is a drug dealer, poppy travels the globe and Veigar was rolling with Mordekaiser. Yordles have dealt with the idea of death for eons and it doesn't break them. A good example would be say if some random teen walks up to you and said "We're all gonna die anyways and nothing is worth it" and you immediately broke down and completely went back on everything you've believed for decades. It makes nosense.
Vex isn't depressed. Stop painting that as depression, it's a gross misinterpretation. Depressed people don't have a need to see the world around them miserable and have a natural dislike for things colorful and cheery. In fact people with depression react positively to love and care as well as going outside now and then to see the world. Vex's whole persona is that she's like an angsty teen in their emo/goth phase. That's hardly being depressed, it's just called being yourself. It's in every part of her voice lines. This is just what Vex likes, the style, the atmosphere and dark colors and tones. She's disappointed that most people don't share her taste and that's the point. She's misunderstood.
You don‘t need to make such interpretation. People say she‘s depressed simple mean that she‘s that teenager girl that probably says how bad society is. People don‘t think that‘s real depression. It‘s simply so they don‘t need to talk extremely long for no reason. And you don‘t need to start a discussion about it
Instead of playing hide and seek with spectrals she should've researching how to kill a yordle If yordles are a small chunk of magic then how do you drain it? Etcetera. Instead she's a unemployed ball of inactivity

Now that's a paradoxical question, or should i say paradoxical existence? Stay with me for a moment on this: if being a yordle, at nature, makes you a "chunk of magic" doomed to be happy and never be able to complete the cycle of life and death, it would make Vex the "ultimate lifeform of sadness", cause' all she craves in life is sadness and death. BUT (here's the twist) if not being able to die would make her existence torturing, pointless and miserable, and as we know here, she like to be that way, wouldn't she be "happy" because she will never be able to die and therefore feel pain eternally? Is Vex happy to be alive cause' she realises she can be sad eternally this way, or is she sad to begin with cause she know that her existance will never ever cease to be? So many questions for a little goth furball that just want to be embraced by "nothingness". I kinda feel for her, i must admit...
Her short story is me and parents tbh when they asked me why I was more closed to my cousin's and family I said I just don't like public anymore and they were like I know you have been locking yourself up with your phone and they took my phone and forced me to have fun with my cousins which I did not do
It's pretty easily explained how Vex "spreads" the mist. Viego is the one who controls the mist and spreads it, but areas of Runeterra were able to fight back. When Vex joined up though, she sowed dispair among the regions of Runetera, which then weakened them to a point where the mist could be spread easier. The Ruination event just said "Vex spreads it" without explaining it as a symbiotic relationship with Viego to spread the mist.
