#morgana league of legends

[ohnoitstbskyen]

the new level 1 ( LoR ) morgana with traveller clothes, practical leather and actual light armour tie her perfectly to her mortal side. the level 2 card art is giving kai'sa and kayle bodysuit flashbacks. what are your thoughts?

I'm holding off on the LoR cards to do some big streams reviewing all the ones I've missed but, yeah, the lvl 1 really IS hitting a lot of great notes for her. The lvl 2 is more conservative, hewing closer to her LoL look, which... is understandable, I guess?

Srsly though the concept art for her Level 1 is so fucking good holy shit look at that Veiled motherfucking Lady right there!!!

Kayle and Morgana in Still Here | Season 2024 Cinematic - League of Legends

[olwrat]

After so many years Morgana and Kayle are finally in a cinematic again!!!

This really represents well a late game duo... Morg stunning the enemy Aatrox so the full build Kayle evaporating him.

Morg embracing her full power... You can hear the sheer pain in her scream along with the music- whyyyy Kayle, it's your sister, you have to show you love her before she dies and you hate yourself for the rest of your infinitely long life (the only moment we see Kayle loving Morgana is when she dies)

Loved the small detail of the wind actually embracing Yasuo... Also, it's so bittersweet seeing him not killing those soldiers - like, he's obviously not hitting them, it's not an accidental or anything. Poor thing has been killing for so long.

Also, that giant lurking figure of the Wolf in the woods, and the shining arrow of the Lamb? That's a masterpiece.

Anyway, there's something so incredibly sad about seeing him old- even with the perspective of him living a whole life, the brute remind of the time passing carries so much sorrow... Him accepting the arrows instead of running or blocking them....

I don't know how to feel.

His hair finally accepted the laws of physics

Aaand they FINALLY REMEMBERED ABOUT TRYNDA AND ASHE it's so sweet seeing his anger disappear the moment he sees Ashe. I hope they write some histories about these two again.

(The parallel between Ashe and the Lamb when the shadows started to fade!!!)

Riot finally remembered these two are married

Anyway, the Kindred are the best, no explanation needed. Trynda fighting off the Wolf (well, technically he's fighting off the other human enemies), the Lamb just watching most of the time- you can feel the anormality, the ethereal, mystical feeling in these images

"My sister cauterized her wound in holy fire. Mine remains."

[deer-with-a-stick]

I've rewatched the cinematic like 6 times now in a row and here some of the things I've noticed:

Kindred (Lamb specifically for the first two) is vaguely hinted at three times before the big Tryndamere scene. Once when Tryndamere looks up and sees her silhouette before his eyes close, once when Kayle's fire flares and consumes Aatrox, and once when Yasuo looks up, sees Wolf's eyes looking at him, and Lamb's arrow flies out in front of the storm of regular arrows.

Morgana's helmet does not match her at ALL, but it mirrors Kayle. Kind of like saying Morgana's forcing herself to be a warrior like Kayle at first, with the identical helmets and sword.

She then later casts the helmet off, leaving her sword in the ground. Kayle is the one who picks it up.

Kayle looks completely at home with the whiteness of the clouds but Morgana stands out a lot with the purple. But she doesn't match Aatrox's red either.

Morgana gets up immediately. Kayle does not.

The first thing Morgana does is look back for her sister.

The difference in Kayle's eyes when she first sees Morgana stand up in front of Aatrox compared to the almost disinterest or contempt in them when Morgana is visibly straining to keep her corrupted chains intact.

Kayle's transformation/embrace of her power seems far less taxing/painful than Morgana's (eyes simply start glowing golden with no hint of pupils or the iris while Morgana still retains a distinction between the pupils, iris, and scelera. Darkness also starts creeping down out of her eyes, like cracking through her skin.)

When Morgana collapses, Kayle does not look back.

Aatrox's body burns away but the sword doesn't (I still can't get over the brief flash of kindred's silhouette in the fire. It's there for like a quick second and you get the impression of something humanoid and with a bow).

Yasuo no longer has his original sword (no sheath on him when he appears either) and wraps wind around the blade he picks up every time he attacks. Doesn't necessarily look like he's actually killing anyone (except for maybe the first two people. or maybe they do die but they don't animate the gore).

It's almost like the wrapping on his arm is keeping the wind inside of him and/or keeping him together as he uses his power. Underneath the cloth, the pattern of wind or magic seems to mirror his spirit blossom skin's arm.

And again, Wolf's eyes shining out of the darkness and using the faint shape of the trees in the distance to hint at his head. Yasuo sees it, closes his eyes and accepts his death, so Lamb's arrow soars out in front of the mortal arrows, all the while Wolf still watches.

The fade in so it looks like the bare branches of the trees against the pale sky are like tendrils of darkness encroaching on the light, converging on a snowflake that almost bursts into existence. The snowflake is also unnaturally large and when it sinks into Tryndamere's blade, it almost melts and reforms, sending a bit of ice crawling across the blade as though following grooves carved into it.

Tryndamere has visible scars across his body. He sees no enemies but Kindred in the space around him.

Wolf alternates between looking like a shadow wolf and just a bunch of shadows in a vaguely wolf-like shape, blinking out of existence as he fights, which helps emphasize the whole "Lamb is the corporeal one out of the two" aspect of Kindred's duality while also making him scarier than just a floating head in space during the fight in my opinion (since he feels heavier and that helps with the "yes he's a THREAT" feeling)

Wolf is significantly more dynamic than Lamb is, and she doesn't really seem to move unless its necessary.

Slow head tilts, once when Tryndamere swings his blade at her, and again when she backflips out of the way, but this one is more noticeable. Wolf attacks immediately, but Lamb observes. Adds to spooky factor. Despite the fact that she literally had a big sword pass under her chin, she still moves slowly and deliberately.

The light of Ashe's arrows clears up the darkness in the background when they fly past Lamb, and the light switches from cool lighting to warm lighting.

The arrows don't move like real arrows as well (no wobble while flying), so if you misses the blue glowy thing then here's more confirmation they're magic! Also makes them seem unnaturally stiff, which works with the "they're made of magic ice" thing.

Tryndamere's eyes immediately shift towards the camera (to where Ashe/Lamb is standing and away from Wolf) and his expression also immediately loses that rage that has been keeping him alive (the expressions were REALLY good holy shit).

Ashe appears and Lamb melts away, taking the unnatural darkness that covered everything beyond the immediate battlefield away.

She's not wearing a god damn bikini and instead some actual leather armor, which has nice gold designs on it. Her bow is also steaming despite the cold air, which makes sense because True Ice is like 5 degrees Kelvin or something

Tryndamere's shoulder pad still has a set of claw marks slashed through it (was originally whole), and Ashe notices, immediately turning around as if to see if she missed an enemy.

There's also another dude or two still there, and idk what happens to them.

[funnyscienceman]

so recently i found this tier list someone made categorizing the source of each champion's powerset — tech, magic, they're a god, etc — and someone in the comments i think started getting specific about *where* magic came from, and came up with three categories: spritual, elemental, and celestial

(though come to think of it idk where rune magic factors into that]

and that got me thinking — where the fuck does TF's magic come from? In lore he can legit read his cards for information, the faces on the cards change, since he was a kid he'd been able to 'cheat' in card games because he just KNEW what the cards were and couldnt even explain how that happened. He has true sight, he can teleport over long distances, he can teleport Graves as long as he has the card, like what the heck is happening here?

Then earlier i was thinking… his three signature cards kinda fit each of the earlier categories, right?

Blue card always has smth to do with mana. In LoR it refills 1 spell mana and draws one, factoring into his lvl2 condition. In League i think it discounts mana? Either way it's something that directly benefits him. This could be spiritual, right?

Red card is direct damage. Idk what it is in League but in LoR it deals 1 to all enemies and the enemy nexus. It's the most physical of the three, it's an AoE, it's literally depicted with fire, so that ought to be elemental

Gold card is a stun. Again, idk what it is in League but in LoR it deals 2 and stuns the strongest enemy. It's associated with chains, and afaik the only other champs associated with chains are Sylas and Morgana. Sylas' chains are just a prison motif, but morgana? She's half-Aspect, and i know both hers' and TF's chain things stun or root the target, so… celestial?

But that still doesn't give any solid answers. I guess he's just a jack of all trades or smth??? But like with magic?????? Idk it just really makes me scratch my head, his powerset and its implications and what that means for how powerful he is, how powerful he could get. The eye motif he's got going on certainly doesn't help, they're kinda spooky…

…anyway all that and he uses it to scam people and commit crimes

Morgana and her animal friend in The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story 💜

[what-if-tanisha]

I made a gif! Of my process! :0

This was a ‘study’ that got out of hand 🤓

[ohnoitstbskyen]

I know Riot would never do it, but do you feel like there's any champion in League that could benefit being split from their kit? Meaning the kit is perfectly fine, doesn't merit a rework, it just doesn't fit the Champion and their lore the best. If I were to give an example I'd say Morg.

When her Blackthorn skin came out I felt like it was such a perfect match for the kit and made a great case for why the kit deserves to be on a swamp warlock/witch. With its grasping vines and poisonous ground. This would give Morg the chance to get a new kit to better support her lore as a protector of the people and rivalry with Kayle.

I mean, yeah, Morgana is a great example of that kind of thing - her character's whole vibe is resistance against unjust exercise of power, forgiveness and redemption, but her KIT is nothing but chains and pains.

Her abilities are like Q: imprison a person, W: make them walk on flaming coals, E: a shield, and E: imprison even more people.

Of those, only her shield, which protects from crowd control, really works thematically with the idea of her as a liberator or a guardian against undue imprisonment and punishment. If anything, her kit seems like a much more natural fit for Kayle as a character.

Blitzcrank is another character whose kit isn't that great a fit for his character - in his story he's a heroic service-robot who spends his time helping the deprived of Zaun, cleaning up toxic waste and averting disasters. Like, his Q should at LEAST be useable for dragging allies out of danger as well as hooking enemies, but basically none of his kit supports that character fantasy AT ALL, and his ult straight up sucks for what he's supposed to be.

Kennen has the problem that his powers... it's not that they're a BAD fit for his story role, it's more that they're NO fit for it. They don't detract, but they also don't support it at all. He's supposed to be the agent of balance between the Eye of Twilight (Shen) and the Fist of Shadow (formerly Akali), a diplomatic mediator spurring the Eye to action and the Fist to calm, and that's just... NOT at all related to his lightning powers. Like, at ALL. They seem like utterly separate things.

Which is the same problem Skarner has - no real connection between his abilities and his story, although I guess maybe the rework is about to do something about that. Theoretically. If it ever comes out.

Dada's lesson n°2

[whitemar3]

Finally done with all the Pentakill - Lightbringers Morgana explorations...

Once again would love to hear some thoughts on these - what you like / dislike! Just keep in mind the theme will follow this kind of renaissance'y, religion'y metal which is already set in stone

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS HEADCANONS #3

Jinx is definetly the type of person to get personaly angry at somebody (even if she never saw 'em) if someone she cares is angry at them.

"You want me to get rid of 'em?"; "WHAT? NO! I'M JUST VENTING!"; "My offer still stands"

Which means she almost-commited some act of violence towards Kayle. It has never been something physical, just calling her every name in the book.

Morgana told her that her pain is not hers, but Jinx now has a grudge and she won't back down until Kayle apoligizes.

Veigar has his own baby seat installed in Senna & Lucian's car.

Naafiri, as smart as she is, can't help with some dog behavior. Very food motivated. Barks at the doorbell. Rummage through the trash can even tho she already had dinner.

Ahri often sleeps curled up and uses her tails as a blanket of pillow.

Janna can talk to birds and other flying creatures.

Janna and Volibear and unexpected buddies.

The Targon champions are very good at climbing and have high lung capacity (I mean, have you seen where they live?).

Everyone thinks Alistar would be reactive because of his background, but is one of the most calm and patient ones.
