#league of legends kindred

[aychama]

I finished it!

I had done this before but then I saw another artist draw lamb and narinder as kindered and I got inspired!

Chosen of the Wolf Ambessa (Legendary), Katarina, Kindred, Pantheon, and Swain (+ Prestige)

katarina i love u 🫶🫶

the skins all look really good in game too. i think pantheon’s is the weakest.

i know some people won’t like it but i lowkey fw shirtless swain. i’ve also never noticed how smooth his animations are.

i’m personally against champions getting a release skin that’s higher than the epic tier. obviously kindred deserved it more but i still think they look really good with the new visual effects. ultimately, ambessa just isn’t old enough for a legendary skin to be appealing. especially a lore skin.

still waiting for viktor vgu. and mel champion release?

Yes, I'm back to my old ways.

I'm starting another art Kindred. I still don't know if I'll leave it in the table or post it in the League of Legends Ask. Anyway, here are the sketches for you 🩵

[simplyofthestars]

Put this mf in Arcane RIGHT NOW

For a show that is centred around death and the consequences of your actions, Kindred would be perfect for this (in my non-LoL player pov)

They are a literal harbinger/god of death, I can imagine them having some sort of mystical chat with Viktor in some void space before bringing him back to life. And I know that they just guide people to the afterlife but Arcane an make a few changes

Them having a chat with Jayce about killing Viktor (or the timeloop theory) could be so good for character developement

They could probably blend into the background of Jinxs hallucinations, could somehow bring Vander back to his senses (idk if they'd be able to do that)

The pure idea of them being in Arcane could work, and I know that s2 is the last season and act 3 is coming out in like a week, but a guy can dream.

I'll make art soon, trust

Seeing your ask on Plural and I’m wondering if you would like a plural character in League maybe with a shapeshifter gimmick to represent the two personalities/spirits.

Either a case of D.I.D or of spirit possession or symbiosis with another sapient creature.

Because it is a very Christian/Western concept to think all spirits possession as a negative one takes all fight between two entire with many cultures having shamans who let spirits use their body for healing rituals. I think that blends into D.I.D too. Despite them being really different.

This even goes into Scrizophrina which is a totally different condition. With people from more rural areas reporting more positive hallucinations then from the industrialized developed world.

It’s worth noting that in Japanese a animist based culture there are much more positive portrayals of spirt possession and split personalities like in Yugioh.

Hrm, I can't really speak to your latter comments there, I don't know enough about either animism or schizophrenia (which is not the same thing as DID) to comment. Nor on the thing about shamanic cultures, although it feels a bit like you're generalizing there.

But as for League, depending on how you want to read them, there already are plural characters in League of Legends - Varus is three distinct personalities in one body, and Kalista is... somewhat inconsistently written, but in concept she is a system of all the spirits and consciousnesses of everyone who has invoked her to seek revenge.

If you want to stretch it, you might even argue that the Kindred are a plural character. They have separate bodies, but they are one person expressed in two personalities, and their origin story specifically relates them as one entity who split into two personalities because they were quite simply happier and more complete that way.

Of course, in the case of both Varus and Kalista, those characters are written from the perspective that their plurality is some kind of distorting affliction. Varus is a corrupted monster trying to possess the body of Kai, while the consciousnesses of Kai and his lover Valmar try to resist. It sorta shakes out to a shoulder angel/shoulder devil scenario where Varus pulls on Kai's anger and thirst for revenge, while Valmar tries to remind him of his humanity.

Legends of Runeterra tried to move the character in a different direction, conceptualizing them much more like a harmonious plural system that is in agreement with themselves, rather than a "tormented struggle over the true nature of the soul" sort of thing, but it's still kinda in the concept of the character that Varus' plurality is a corruptive body horror.

With Kalista, the storm of consciousnesses inhabiting the shared body has been shown to be a sort of chaotic, destructive thing that is eating away at her "original" personality and replacing it with a single-minded revenge spirit, and that's basically written as a tragic, bad thing that represents the loss of her true soul to the corruption of vengeance, anger and hatred.

The Kindred, if you want to interpret them as plural, are much more balanced and harmonious, two expressions of the same being, bonded by deep mutual love and affection.

None of them, of course, are intended to be plural representation - at least not as far as I know. And honestly, yeah, I think it would be extremely cool to have a character that is intentionally and conceptually designed to express something real about the plural experience.

I'm... not a hundred percent sure if I'd trust Riot to be able to do a good job of that, though. There's a lot of Too Many Cooks bullshit that happens at Riot, which undermines most good-faith efforts from its creatives to do interesting things. Some higher up business-suited jackass might just be like "other stakeholders think it's cooler if they're a gross evil monster who is evil because they're plural because being plural is bad and weird and makes you dangerous to people around you" and then whoops here comes a James McAvoy in Split ripoff champion :/
