League of Loreheads

While not a favorite on the Rift (at least not in NA apparently), Yasuo is a favorite lore-wise for many League fans, and we can see why. With a ton of short stories and some genuinely cool cinematic…

We've gone over Xin Zhao's lore quite a bit already, but it was amazing to get it all from his POV. Xin Zhao might be our favorite Demacian (it might help that he's not actually from there...)

Apparently we didn't complain about Azir and Xerath enough in the Azir episode. In our defense, that was like two years ago. We're not entirely sure what Riot wants to do with these two, but we're su…

So. Skarner isn't from Shurima anymore. Neat! Unfortunately, while we are interested in some of what they've decided to do with Skarner, he's mostly just sitting around and waiting. And that's where …

We already knew quite a bit about The Monkey King since we've read Master Yi, but it was still fun to revisit good ol' Wukong. And who would have guessed that his most interesting lore would come fro…

Warwick was cool even before his ties to Arcane, but now? MORE PLEEEEEASE! The Uncaged Wrath of Zaun has  a great story and is featured in the greatest piece of entertainment Riot has created to date…

We've gone over a lot of Volibear's stories already, but we seriously don't mind because this thunder bear is cool as heck. Ok so his motives are a little strange—Rebecca feels a little bad for makin…

Vlad had way more lore than we were expecting, and some of it might actually be canon still! He's a champion with some connections but mostly wants to be on his own, in a way that actually works for …

Yet another champ that has basically no canon lore on the universe page since Arcane became canon. Riot bounced a lot of ideas around with this guy. Misunderstood madman? A complete and total villain…

Although Riot promised there would be other forms of lore for new champions, we haven't seen much evidence of that yet. We still wanted to read about Smolder and see what the heck is going on with dr…

We hit 1 million downloads this week! Yay! We couldn't have done it without y'all, obviously, and wanted to celebrate by answering some questions from our lovely listeners. It was nice to reflect bac…

We've gone over this so many times, we needed to bring in a guest to help us out. Since the lovely Sarah knows absolutely nothing about Viego (BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST I GUESS), we t…

With Arcane officially being canon, Vi's lore is basically all irrelevant at this point. It was still fun to go through what Riot had in mind for her. Although we definitely prefer Arcane Vi. She's j…

Like most yordles, Vex doesn't have much lore, but at least she's in Rise of the Sentinels. Yay... The Gloomist is a cute little emo yordle though. Almost cute enough to forgive the use of the word "…

We have mixed feelings about the lore moving forward. Getting stories via games like this feels so cool, but Riot Games has gotten rid of Riot Forge, so what does that mean for future games and lore?…

Like most void champs, Vel'Koz is rocking with very little lore and nowhere to go. Still, he's a simple but effective tool for the Watchers in the void. Now, if only we knew what the watchers were.

Veigar is a simple idea Riot Games figured out pretty early. There have been shockingly few changes to one of League's oldest champions, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Veigar is fun, hilariou…

Although Vayne's in game play hasn't changed much, Riot has tweaked her lore a few times here and there. She's always loved killing monsters, but these days she does it while acting a little less lik…

Varus has quite a bit of lore, but as a Darkin, we feel like he comes up a little bit short. He sure is hot though! And there's three whole dudes in there. That's cool, right?

WE HAVE M…

Although we weren't expecting any color stories for a while (or at all), League's new champion came with one! The Loreheads have some mixed feelings about Hwei, but we do love that Riot is paying att…
