Like just about everyone else, we obsessively loved the first three episodes of Arcane. We have a few theories here (ONE WE WILL NEVER SPEAK OF AGAIN, JOHN) and some predictions, but for the most par…

We wanted to get some background info on The Defender of Tomorrow before Arcane drops, and we found ourselves entangled in a load of Viktor drama. Who is telling the truth here? Hopefully Arcane has …

This Grandmaster at Arms sure had a backstory, but all I remember is that it involved eggs. Jax is super into eggs, y'all, and so are we now. Pretty sure we said the word "Egg" more times than the wo…

I never thought we'd hit anyone duller than Garen but oof. Here we are! The Exemplar of Demacia seems to have trouble deciding between serving his country or being a reckless dolt, and that didn't si…

Never mind the fact we spend the first 10 minutes wheezing over Janna's old voice over (which also involved a lot of wheezing). The Storm's Fury ended up having little to do with storms, or fury, but…

We all love the gentle Green Daddy. Sorry daddy. Sorry daddy. Sorry daddy. Sorry...erm. Ivern! While he's a jovial plant man now, he apparently started as a blood-thirsty war machine. Neat! According…

Riot's favorite blade dancer and nerf target could be the star of Ionia's delicate ballet. Instead, she's left tapping her feet on the sidelines. We tango with tongue-twisting tales, jitterbug with t…

This wonderfully underplayed Kraken Priestess is a total badass, or at least that's what we've gathered from the small amount we're given. Although the Bilgewater event was many years ago, we don't r…

While it's frustrating that Riot Games threw this Rogue Sentinel Akshan at the end of an event they'd been planning for years, he's still a fun character we were excited to learn more about. Unfortun…

The Revered Inventor Heimerdinger is the perfect specimen of science, but Riot Games has left yet another yordle out to dry with this one. He has so little lore, we had our slightly-less-familiar-wit…

Probably the most offensive thing about the Rise of the Sentinels event is the visual novel. So we ranted about it for over an hour! And summarize, in case you were lucky enough to miss it. Truly we …

We're taking a break from our usual programming to bring you this bitch-fest. You're welcome! Riot Games has been prepping lore fans for this Ruination event for so long, a lot of people thought that…

Our favorite little horse pony Glaive Guy Hecarim has a pretty metal backstory. Although a massive catalyst in The Ruination, you wouldn't know it these last few weeks, but that's a complaint for ano…

You've got to doll before you can run! Or at least Gwen, The Hallowed Seamstress had to. Unfortunately, that's really the most interesting thing we can find about her. While she's supposed to be a ma…

Not only did Dr. Mundo get a visual rework, but they changed a huge amount of his backstory. We were...less than pleased. But on a brighter note, Diana/Leona is CONFIRMED Y'ALL WE ALL KNEW BUT NOW IT…

We had learned a lot about Graves while going through Gangplank's lore, but now we finally get to talk about it! While Graves had a fairly cliche backstory originally, Riot Games made a few tweaks th…

Another old champion left behind, The Rabble Rouser Gragas has been a little neglected in terms of lore updates. While Riot thankfully did away with some, ah, we'll say problematic short stories, the…

The Missing Link Gnar is new enough to not have an updated lore but too old to have much lore at all. Unfortunate because he's a delightful little prehistoric yordle, and we want more cute Gnar momen…

If you, like us, are hoping for more to Garen beyond "Sword boy swing sword real good", unfortunately, we gotta look elsewhere. While the Might of Demacia has a lot of potential to develop due to his…

Our first dive into Bilgewater begins with The Saltwater Scourge and scoundrel pirate, Gangplank. We were a little overwhelmed with a number of intertwining stories and drama but don't worry we defin…
