League rant time.
So Garen has unfortunately captured my heart and I am planning a proper angst fic because you cannot trust cooperations to anything, including Riot apparently.
Since I have basically no original ideas, I decided to just rewrite the latter half of the Lux comic to mir fit needs. My original plan was to start off with Lux's great assassination plan and just not have Garen bust the show. And maybe let Tianna embarrass herself with that stupid 'he just needs to be motivated to stop dying' shit. But then I decided that wasn't angsty enough, so let's start off with Lux at Garen's bedside in the healing ward. And also properly establish that no, this man was not completely blemishless after being beaten half to death. But then I reread the scene where he gets beaten, and noticed he just gets a fucking uppercut! Sylas literally gets only one hit in and Garen goes down like a bitch! Like I'm sorry, but even with sword magic powered punch that's stupid. So now I have to rewrite the fight scene I guess because my angst needs more than a well placed uppercut. Panel saving my ass.
And then the book! Like the book isn't bad, I liked it just fine, but there is so little angst there too! I was waiting the whole time and then finally at the end he gets to fight the evil dude. It's all dramatic, he keeps getting hit, bones break, he almost gets killed and then finally gets the last hit in after the evil guy had to monologue. Basic, but effective scene. And so I was just sitting there, very excited, because this it, he's gonna just so win, barely conscious, the eagles come (this is not a joke, that is how they win the battle) and then he's gonna dramatically collapse at the end of the chapter. But no, of course not. He wins, the eagles come, cut. The next time we see him he's wearing bandages. Great.
It's like Riot just doesn't understand how many rabid hordes of teenage girls they could have glued to their screens by just giving more angst! Keep everything as it is, just give it some consequence! It's not that hard! Honestly it looks like they're trying not get a larger audience. Even that new side game they're developing, The Ruined King, look what they did to Viego:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The left one is his official splash art, the right one is a screenshot from the game trailer. They fucking desexied him! Why???!! I appreciate what they did for Miss Fortune in that trailer cause she looks way better, but what is this?! You had a perfectly good tragic bad boy and you made him less sexy! I mean I guess from a realistic perspective I get it, he is like a zombie, but who gives a shit about realism in League of Legends?!
Anyway my point is Riot should clean up their shitty abusive community and cater more to teenage girls. Specifically me. I want them to cater to me. The correct standard.
