    Liss is fine. Annie is insane. Poor Udyr and Volibear though.

    They are good peeps in an ungood world.

    Udyr before League: Magical hobo bear who cannot die and punches people.

    Udyr after League: Magical hobo bear who cannot die and punches people.

    Here's the thing though, us bears like killing, but we want that killing to mean something. There's nothing meaningful about what's happening here :/

    Keep in mind we're right smack in the middle of mid lane and I have a minion wave of about 10 minions i'm standing in. As SOON as he got to me and hit the bear stun he clearly did a Michael Bluth(i've made a huge mistake) and popped his ghost and ran away but it was of course too late and I hit him with Q/E and a couple autos and now I have 2 kills instead of 1 and a red buff which I used to snowball the game.

    that's a GOB, BUDDY


    and I do gobs all the time... mostly involving dashes on ad carries

    Anivia is probably fine, since she's used to the end of everything, not some meager individual lives.

    What is this? You mean because she's a Phoenix she's used to death or..dare I ask?

    Because she's survived the end of the universe. Repeatedly. She's ancient beyond reckoning.

    The longer this conversation goes on the larger the black void that's slowly devouring my remaining sanity gets.

    I'm going to try to understand, I am certain this is going to cause me immense pain, but nonetheless I am intrigued.

    How has Annivia survived the end of the universe repeatedly? Like, if the universe ends, how is there possibly a place she could exist to continue onwards?

    she doesnt really remember anything beyond a life or two, everything other than that is hazy, so i dont even think she could answer that

    But if she doesn't remember anything, how does she know she's seen the end of the universe multiple times?

    How do we know she's not some crazy psycho bird who just thinks she's seen the end of the universe repeatedly because she got really trippy one time and blacked out?

    he exists through all of time but there's nothing he can do about it

    and he knows how the future turns out when he's in the past

    so he's just really, really fucking depressed

    Anivia handles the whole everything you ever knew or loved will die and all trace fade from existence better, thats for sure.

    Valor may just be a bird, but he's scratched the eyes out of gods and void demons alike

    also keeping Valor in summoner's rift is the best way to keep the species from going extinct since no matter how many times he gets eaten by Khazix or stuffed by Rengar he comes back

    he exists through all of time but there's nothing he can do about it

    and he knows how the future turns out when he's in the past

    so he's just really, really fucking depressed

    Ok, but if he's an Omnichronic being, then why participate in the league if he already knows how it's going to turn out?

    Or is it because he's already participated (participating?) and cannot alter events because he's defined by the causality loop? And if that's true, that's mega fucked up because that would mean that logic, space, and time apply correctly to Zilean and only Zilean, which is like the biggest middle finger the universe can throw at you.

    Zilean exists and can move about in 4 dimensions, but the universe exists in more than 9.

    yeah Zilean was in a time coma trying to see what happens in the future. his people were in the middle of a huge war and he wanted to figure out a peaceful solution

    the enemy forces dropped a bomb on his town while he was sleeping and it unmoored him from time

    so he's immortal and lives in his giant city but sometimes he wakes up and he's in the past and all of his friends and family are alive and he's like OH GOD DAMNIT

    the summoners are basically the only thing that can help him at all

    so he doesnt give a fuck about the league

    he's just paying his dues to get some sweet, sweet magic

    Imagine four deathcaps on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the deathcap nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of deathcaps and takes the place of the first deathcap. The formerly first deathcap becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff.

    Time works the same way.

    my favorite part about the league lore is that elise runs a cult

    and the central premise of this cult is that no one can ever know she is secretly a spider monster who kills people

    so she joins the league of legends and participates in matches that are broadcasted to every settlement in the entire world

    where she turns into a spider monster and kills people

    What I'm gathering is Summoner's Rift is a magical place where immortality is on a 20 second timer and you can run around and do all sorts of crazy awesome bullshit and Summoners exist in order to prevent the entire affair from turning into "Jackass 4."

    "That's ridiculous," Elise informed reporters, "No one presumes that hunky Quinn can alter his shape into that of a majestic falcon, and yet these slanderous and xenophobic rumours continue to be spread about Vilemawism. It's nothing more than sexist bigotry."

    Zilean exists and can move about in 4 dimensions, but the universe exists in more than 9.

    Assuming that Zilean experiences time as a linear mechanism or not is largely irrelevant to whether he is defined by the causality that he's in.

    Even a pan-dimensional being would have to obey causality participating in 4 dimensional space-time. Unless, we're making the argument that causality doesn't exist on Runeterra (which considering everything else makes sense), but that just means that Zilean isn't bound by a causality loop, and is instead a complete dick.

    Now, you could theoretically argue about branches of time, that new timelines are generated at intersections of choice, but even then causality is maintained, and Zilean wouldn't be able to know which branch he is in, and thus would be free from casual determination.

    Basically, Zilean is trapped outside of reality, except he occasionally gets pulled back into the normal timestream, at random places.

    Summoners are the only beings that can actually make contact with him and summon him, which means for 15-45 minutes at a time, Zilean can be perfectly sane, and anchored in the Runterra world.

    He uses that time to not only fight, but multitaskes trying to figure out how summoning even fucking works and how he could apply it to himself, to either drag his ass back to normal time flow at the minimum, or, at best, to find a way to save his people.


    And Elise leads a CULT. All she needs to say is "FOLLOW ME AND YOU CAN HAVE POWER LIKE ME". The League is a walking billboard to her.

    The problem is that they've been slowly removing all references to the Institute of War from the lore, so at some point these people are just going to aimlessly fight in an arena which will be more of a metaphor for war rather than an explicit mechanism to deal with it.

    I'm also not completely clear on how Summoners fit in. Like, am I an anonymous Piltovian noble who summons Caitlyn, or what?

    Summoners go to school and train at it for many years (see: Lee Sin lore)

    they form a psychic connection to the champions and order them to do shit on the battlefield

    It's really just a really awkward and hamfisted way to make THE PLAYER PART OF THE GAAAAAAAAME

Unless, we're making the argument that causality doesn't exist on Runeterra (which considering everything else makes sense), but that just means that Zilean isn't bound by a causality loop, and is instead a complete dick.

    Now, you could theoretically argue about branches of time, that new timelines are generated at intersections of choice, but even then causality is maintained, and Zilean wouldn't be able to know which branch he is in, and thus would be free from casual determination.

    There is no such thing as a causality loop.
    Also, I'm only arguing Zilean can navigate 4 dimensions, not all of them.

    There is a causality loop. Well, at least, that's the best term I've heard for it, because we don't even know if it exists but we assume that causality is maintained in the event of time travel. (unless of course you subscribe to the many worlds theory, in which case the causality of the first time line is maintained but the new timeline is not deterministic)

    If Zilean can see the future, and causality is maintained, then fate is absolute. Anything he knows will happen, must happen, because he experiences unbounded time.

    Ok, but if he's an Omnichronic being, then why participate in the league if he already knows how it's going to turn out?

    Or is it because he's already participated (participating?) and cannot alter events because he's defined by the causality loop? And if that's true, that's mega fucked up because that would mean that logic, space, and time apply correctly to Zilean and only Zilean, which is like the biggest middle finger the universe can throw at you.

    See, your problem is that you view time as a line.

    Zilean exists and can move about in 4 dimensions, but the universe exists in more than 9.

    Constants and Variables. There is always a top lane, there's always a Teemo, there's always a Mushroom.

    I don't see why. It all seems to work out well enough for him at least.
