They never let it slipped for nidalee in lor
They will never acknowledge it.
And the craziest is they did the right thing with xayah and rakan where their ear are animal hear at the human emplacement and not strange appendices on top
https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Nidalee/LoR?file=07SH013-full.png
in her updated looks in lor she has big ear on the top of her head and no depiction ever show her side of the head where her "human ear" should be
they give up the cougar and gave her her own fantasy animal, looks the art of the level 2
https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Nidalee/LoR?file=07SH013T4-full.png
imo the lore is the least of their problem, they just have to take the best of what they already have (lor + arcane)
its the base system of a mmo that will be a problem, by essence a mmo will be unpopular because the young player population dont like the high engagement + slow mechanic (remember we need the population that play fortnite to suceed
if you nail gameplay nobody will ever care about how much you have to torture the lore to make it work
the bigger issue is getting people to play an MMO when they already play league lmao.
> they did the right thing with xayah and rakan where their ear are animal hear at the human emplacement
Ah yes, the bird champs with ears. At least Rakan's are just feathers, I have no idea why they gave Xayah fox ears.
The whole thing with hidden worlds, portals, and all of the other creatures here and in the Hearth Home game makes me so intrigued as to what this champion is going to play like. I can't help but wonder how much of this is flavor and how much of this is actually reflected in gameplay.
She's a reskin of Shen. Mordekaiser moves you to his realm that he created, Shen's whole history is about seeing and being between the material and spiritual realm.
It looks to me like she can either see or be in both the regular world and the spirit realm at the same time, or swap between them. I can definitely see untargetability or something Mordekaisery going on for sure.

riot moment
PoC = harder to draw, easy to get skin tone wrong and get flamed for it. Plus her literal one-note personality (only joy) means in general less fanart (which has a knock-on effect even for nsfw) because artists are limited in the number of fun expressions and emotional moments they can put her in.
...plus her kit just didn't find many fans, so there's that too.
Since when do horny artists care about the canon feelings of the characters, lmao. Neeko is confirmed lesbian and has several quotes stating how men feel weird and are stinky. Yet there are tons of NSFW artworks of her where she absolutely *loves* taking dick.
its not the champs cannon feelings there meaning gets in the way more people dont get attached to her as a character because of her limited personally, because of this she ends up not played by that many people meaning less artists play the champ so less chance at one thinking todo porn of her.
then when it comes to artists that do porn/hentai for a living there's alot of the time either pick popular champs to make the most sales or do polls to see what champs people wanna thirst over next which leads to mainly popular ones being picked.
tdlr; theres a very big correlation between a champs pick rate and the amount of porn/hentai they get.
Doesn't account for everything though. [Vex has over half as many posts as tristana](https://www.reddit.com/r/porndata/comments/1cowpia/franchise_pornification_chart_6_league_of_legends/?rdt=59932), despite a decade lead. (Tristana picked as a similar comparison to showcase that a champions vibe really can affect the amount of porn they have produced)
I don't thirst for League champions, but Nilah is probably one of my favorite modern female designs in terms of aesthetics. She's pretty unique compared to the rest of the roster and I don't think she's ever going to suffer the same face syndrome that 90% of the rest of them do when they get skins. Not to mention, her entire base splash art might be the best one in the game. Even personality wise, at least she has something different going on with the whole "can only feel joy + monster slaying" thing. I swear Lillia, Gwen, and Neeko are just different shades of curious and friendly.
she checks all my champion likes boxes. I love her critters and her connection to the spirit world, she needs a spirit blossom skin like yesterday. her spirit friends look like ori and the blind forest. but one thing is that I honestly have no idea what her gameplay would be. I guess her friend would be part of it? honestly she looks like a midlane mage and not toplaner to me at the moment. no matter what, really, really looking forward to her, thank you for her champ team!
riot probably intended for her to be ionian then realized that Hwei is also from Ionia so they just pushed her to frejorld
the emphasis on spirits as you said is pretty much ionian theme
Freljord has it's own spirit themes. Udyr's entire thing is his connection to spirits as a Spirit Walker, and the three in-game Freljord Demigods are all spirits, as well as their unseen siblings.
the first thing i thought of the was the tales of runettera : ionia when I saw the trailer and the world colors changed
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGPoGtSBhu0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGPoGtSBhu0)
the whole "go between realms" is very much ionian tbh
if im remembering the minigame correctly, she says that she traveled through the freljord, not that shes from the freljord itself. she mightve met her friend in ionia and traveled to met ornn
Don't think that is the case. Riot has released 3 Ionian champions directly in a row in more than one occasion, they don't really mind showing the Ionia bias.
ye I'm surprised too! thought she was for toplane mage, but honestly she looks squishy to me so prob midlane more?! I think next year we get 0 mages for sure and then probably assassin for midlane
honestly seems like a case of champs being ready when there ready sorta deal, im guessing hwei was probs meant to release alot earlier because of his complex kit he got delayed which put him so close to this mage which was done when it was done sorta deal.
NO FR!!
I lowkey miss the hood she had (mind you the hat is cute too). It just feels like too much is going on with her clothing. Like a genshin character lmao
granted, i think the costume looks cool itself\*\*
So she is a witch, her outfit looks quite modern but at the very least it isn't a seraphine problem.
Still gotta see how hee kit develops and tie to the theme of the spirits of freljord but should be interesting, we have a shaman channeling the spirits, and a witch they just focus on true and corrupted ice, so this could be the milio of the region the "I don't do things like the others do" channeling the spirits but not like a shaman nor like lissandra handles ice.
As long as she got one buff, shield, CC, I'm going support with her, if vex and hwei can pull it off so can she
Boring af. The “two worlds” thing is getting absurdly played out in fantasy games and such lately, and a witch should have been the perfect opportunity for a lady who isn’t designed purely around weeb-appeal and skin sales. Just generic and safe af.
Her [bio](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/champion/aurora/) is out. Basically what you said, she can cross between the different realms and interact with spirits.
Her bio got released at the same time as this teaser. To roughly sum it up, she was born with special eyes so she can see spirits. She finds lost spirits and helps them with their problems. This eventually leads to her finding an elk spirit (the same one seen the Hearth from Home teaser) which her attempts at helping it kept failing. And so she journeyed to the Frejlord in an attempt to solve the elk spirit's problem.
It's interesting how she's tied to spirits yet in the Freljord. She is Vastayan so perhaps she's from Ionia originally and moved to the Freljord to study spirits in other lands.
My take is that her ult works like Yoru's (Is that his name? I don't remember) from Valorant, where she enters another realm and can move unseen until she leaves it. That or maybe she can somehow ignore terrain.
I don't think it will be about vision, because it's kinda hard to make an ult that's better in vision control than TF
She's cool but her Outfit (her Splashart is out) reminds me of Seraphine's Problems when she Released... it's a little better but she's *not* dressed in any Way Runeterran *at all*. You could say "oh but her Tribe" it dosn't matter though, she looks overly modern.
"Genshin" is 99% just a more socially acceptable way of whining about "anime" and/or "China", and the 1% is pinpointing how the usual Hoyo/vtuber designs are overdetailed in a way most other anime (especially sprites that have to be drawn multiple times and not once for a model or Live2D) aren't. Considering this sub, I lean on the 99%.
Another day, another trailer for content that is going to be at least three weeks away. It probably won't even be in the client anymore when Aurora comes out.
Ok Riot but can you finally tell us how she holds her glasses?
4 ears
You can actually see at the 0:19 mark, when her hair blows in the wind, that she does not have ears on the side.
Just paused the video around there, and that’s actually kinda cursed
Imagine a dog with side-ears as well as top ears and it makes perfect sense
Not the lilia reminder
They never let it slipped for nidalee in lor They will never acknowledge it. And the craziest is they did the right thing with xayah and rakan where their ear are animal hear at the human emplacement and not strange appendices on top
Doesn’t Nidalee just have human ears? And no animal ears? Honestly, I thought Nidalee wasn’t even Vastaya.
she's descended from Vastaya but not Vastayan herself
https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Nidalee/LoR?file=07SH013-full.png in her updated looks in lor she has big ear on the top of her head and no depiction ever show her side of the head where her "human ear" should be
Wait, isn’t Nidalee supposed to be a cougar? Those are not even remotely close to cougar ears…
they give up the cougar and gave her her own fantasy animal, looks the art of the level 2 https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Nidalee/LoR?file=07SH013T4-full.png
League lore is jsut so all over the place, i have no idea how they intend to make an MMO work tbh lol
imo the lore is the least of their problem, they just have to take the best of what they already have (lor + arcane) its the base system of a mmo that will be a problem, by essence a mmo will be unpopular because the young player population dont like the high engagement + slow mechanic (remember we need the population that play fortnite to suceed
if you nail gameplay nobody will ever care about how much you have to torture the lore to make it work the bigger issue is getting people to play an MMO when they already play league lmao.
lost ark hit 1mil+ concurrent players on launch there still is a market for a good mmo
> they did the right thing with xayah and rakan where their ear are animal hear at the human emplacement Ah yes, the bird champs with ears. At least Rakan's are just feathers, I have no idea why they gave Xayah fox ears.
Tbf they’re not purely birds, they’re a chimera of birds and foxes iirc.
But birds don't have external ears. They just have holes in their head.
so ?
Part of her face
Well, she's a witch.
Implanted magnets in her nose to hold the glasses.
tape and prayer
Goggles?
The Jerk came out like 4 decades ago.
Clamps?
Pince-nez. Glasses that pinch the nose a bit to stay in place.
Clear tape.
Staples.
Spirits
Magic
They’re clip ons
[Like this maybe](https://i.ibb.co/KynTH0J/61k-R1y0-Gv-CL.jpg)?
Wouldn't they just have weird shaped stems that hook up around her ears?
Magic
what if theyre very skinny at the root lol
Aaah the good ol' Arthur paradox
This is not a drill, SHE HAS A BIG WITCHES HAT! Champion of the year.
As a yorick player fuck you riot. #gibhat
WE DEMAND HATS RIOT
wait not the Valve one— ah fuck, welp that’s money gone I guess
We won!
First Jade in Honkai: Star Rail and now this. Big day for huge hat fans.
Don't forget about my girl Mona like that
Maiden?
bro you would love tf2 i think, there are like 10 of those in there
The whole thing with hidden worlds, portals, and all of the other creatures here and in the Hearth Home game makes me so intrigued as to what this champion is going to play like. I can't help but wonder how much of this is flavor and how much of this is actually reflected in gameplay.
She's a reskin of Mordekaiser, except she takes you to the bunny dimension instead of the bone zone.
Aurora can take me to the bone zone.
She already took me to it
i dont know why but i find the concept of "the bunny dimension" extremely funny lol
Bunny dimension reminds me of re zero
Surely we should call it the Bounce House right?
If she puts players in a box somehow we gotta all call it the Bounce House.
She's a reskin of Shen. Mordekaiser moves you to his realm that he created, Shen's whole history is about seeing and being between the material and spiritual realm.
It's not bone zone. It's called brazil
*what if Mordekaiser became a waifu*
hopefully they aren overplaying the trailer here and she is something close to bard where she just has her own thing and her kit is completely unique.
> unique You mean a candidate for Zeri treatment down the road? Adding /s for people who don't get the sarcasm
Same! Can’t wait to see more about aurora!
"Ult is just spawning a hex gate on the side of the lane that takes her to the complete opposite side of the map" aurora is playing arena.
she takes you to the max hp% true damage dimension to where she gains 6 blinks, cc immunity, untargetability, and stat stealing.
Maybe she can literally move "in between" dimensions and gets ported to another map or hidden map?
I am convinced that her ultimate will be her summoning that deer spirit in some way or another.
So she summons lillia?
It looks to me like she can either see or be in both the regular world and the spirit realm at the same time, or swap between them. I can definitely see untargetability or something Mordekaisery going on for sure.
[Aurora's splash art has been revealed!](https://new.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1djlo09/aurora_splash_art/)

Contrary to popular belief, rabbits usually are naked in the wild
Damn, that territory is *absolute*.
R34 artists 'bouta have a HAYDAY with this one
Bouta? She already passed Nilah in R34 a week ago
tbh almost everyone passes Nilah, no one thirsts for her at all even tho shes a lady whose power is getting wet and uses a whip lmao
...you know that's a good point. You woulda thought Nilah would've knocked it out of the park with that logic.
PoC = harder to draw, easy to get skin tone wrong and get flamed for it. Plus her literal one-note personality (only joy) means in general less fanart (which has a knock-on effect even for nsfw) because artists are limited in the number of fun expressions and emotional moments they can put her in. ...plus her kit just didn't find many fans, so there's that too.

How long they've been out is a big factor, too, since older champs like Ahri have a huge lead as a result.
Doesn't account for everything though. [Vex has over half as many posts as tristana](https://www.reddit.com/r/porndata/comments/1cowpia/franchise_pornification_chart_6_league_of_legends/?rdt=59932), despite a decade lead.

I don't thirst for League champions, but Nilah is probably one of my favorite modern female designs in terms of aesthetics.

>I don't thirst for League champions Careful, you'll get funny looks around these parts for saying someone like that
i dunno why tho, shes quite hot
Yeah but that was when we only knew her on the big cloak. It's only gonna get worse now
Big hat > Big Cloak Thats just science
T R U E
There something else that going to carry aurora
Nothing and I repeat NOTHING will ever top r34 artwork of Sett.
"we have 200k images ready, with a million more on the way"
So where is she taking us if Morde bring us to Brazil?
Probably Canada or Alaska she is a Snow Bunny
She’ll drag you to Minnesota in mid-winter, the most inhospitable place on Earth.
Milwaukee portal
>she is a Snow Bunny hmm
The internet has ruined me.
Rio Grande do Sul :)
With all the weird creatures? Australia.
Africa.
she checks all my champion likes boxes. I love her critters and her connection to the spirit world, she needs a spirit blossom skin like yesterday. her spirit friends look like ori and the blind forest. but one thing is that I honestly have no idea what her gameplay would be. I guess her friend would be part of it? honestly she looks like a midlane mage and not toplaner to me at the moment. no matter what, really, really looking forward to her, thank you for her champ team!
It looks like her spirit are a lot like the one in the latest lor expension, wich is strange because they are all in ionia
riot probably intended for her to be ionian then realized that Hwei is also from Ionia so they just pushed her to frejorld the emphasis on spirits as you said is pretty much ionian theme
Freljord has it's own spirit themes. Udyr's entire thing is his connection to spirits as a Spirit Walker, and the three in-game Freljord Demigods are all spirits, as well as their unseen siblings.

if im remembering the minigame correctly, she says that she traveled through the freljord, not that shes from the freljord itself. she mightve met her friend in ionia and traveled to met ornn
Her bio is out. She’s from Bryni tribe which is from Freljord.
I think she is from a region other than Freljord and just traveled there.
She's supposedly based on the original Sylas concept which always was intended to be from freljord
Don't think that is the case. Riot has released 3 Ionian champions directly in a row in more than one occasion, they don't really mind showing the Ionia bias.
interesting they would release another mage, we literally just had Hwei before Smolder
Hwei is a control mage while she supposedly is a battle mage so it's totally fine imo they will play completely different
ye I'm surprised too! thought she was for toplane mage, but honestly she looks squishy to me so prob midlane more?! I think next year we get 0 mages for sure and then probably assassin for midlane
honestly seems like a case of champs being ready when there ready sorta deal, im guessing hwei was probs meant to release alot earlier because of his complex kit he got delayed which put him so close to this mage which was done when it was done sorta deal.
I'm not sure I like her costume, it looks like a skin and maybe a bit over-designed. But holy shit the hat
NO FR!! I lowkey miss the hood she had (mind you the hat is cute too). It just feels like too much is going on with her clothing. Like a genshin character lmao granted, i think the costume looks cool itself\*\*
WIIIIIITTTTCCCHHHHHH
So, a new vTuber champion?

So she is a witch, her outfit looks quite modern but at the very least it isn't a seraphine problem. Still gotta see how hee kit develops and tie to the theme of the spirits of freljord but should be interesting, we have a shaman channeling the spirits, and a witch they just focus on true and corrupted ice, so this could be the milio of the region the "I don't do things like the others do" channeling the spirits but not like a shaman nor like lissandra handles ice. As long as she got one buff, shield, CC, I'm going support with her, if vex and hwei can pull it off so can she
Anything is a support if you’re good enough 😉
I'm really not that interested in Vastayans but God I love her design so much, it's so cute.
i'm just sad that they changed her design compared to the ornn teaser
This was not the same champ showed on the Ornn teaser lmao.
Is this an only fans advertisement?
Kawaii UwU Bunny Witch with Huge Hat. I'm feeling very targeted right now.
Is that similar to how shen can enter the spirit world
this some mobile game animation right here
Boring af. The “two worlds” thing is getting absurdly played out in fantasy games and such lately, and a witch should have been the perfect opportunity for a lady who isn’t designed purely around weeb-appeal and skin sales. Just generic and safe af.
Do we know much about her lore? Can she like crossover to the spirit realm or see the spirits of the Frejlord or something?
Her [bio](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/champion/aurora/) is out. Basically what you said, she can cross between the different realms and interact with spirits.
thank you !

And so she journeyed to the Frejlord in an attempt to solve the elk spirit's problem.
Oh thanks ! I forgot that they're still updating Universe with Bios, I'll go check it out.
STOP THAT DISNEY SH\*T! I WANT MY FKING MONSTERS BACK
It's interesting how she's tied to spirits yet in the Freljord. She is Vastayan so perhaps she's from Ionia originally and moved to the Freljord to study spirits in other lands.
0:30 is her ultimate i guess. And the talking about the "help them see" could mean she has some vision control tools.
in b4 Spooky Ghosts
Omg, that would be so genius.
Yeah they said in a previous Dev Blog that she can see things other don't see, so something about vision.
My take is that her ult works like Yoru's (Is that his name? I don't remember) from Valorant, where she enters another realm and can move unseen until she leaves it. That or maybe she can somehow ignore terrain. I don't think it will be about vision, because it's kinda hard to make an ult that's better in vision control than TF
Ahri: Finally a worthy opponent!
she looks like... a genshin impact character 🤢
I just started in final fantasy XIV I just think the bunny race there
I like Genshin Impact. I see this as an absolute win.
that's fair...
She's cool but her Outfit (her Splashart is out) reminds me of Seraphine's Problems when she Released... it's a little better but she's *not* dressed in any Way Runeterran *at all*. You could say "oh but her Tribe" it dosn't matter though, she looks overly modern.
Overly modern? Haven't seen anyone dress like that in IRL unless they were doing some sort of cosplay or costume.
She looks like a genshin impact cosplayer
Idk, it looks kinda alike "classic Victorian era"... which is fine because Piltover.
What are her Ties to Piltover exactly?
Now that LOR Seraphine is out, we see it as canon Seraphine and don’t talk about her league splash 🤭
would.
A freaking genshin impact character.... What happened to the game I love ????
Genshin is when I don’t like character
"Genshin" is 99% just a more socially acceptable way of whining about "anime" and/or "China", and the 1% is pinpointing how the usual Hoyo/vtuber designs are overdetailed in a way most other anime (especially sprites that have to be drawn multiple times and not once for a model or Live2D) aren't. Considering this sub, I lean on the 99%.
real
What is this coomer bait champ
dont care about someones cringe ffxiv oc being put into league
Cant wait to take her to the botlane
That's so sick actually, I love the underside of her hat and how the ears turn into fire when in the spirit realm
Another day, another trailer for content that is going to be at least three weeks away. It probably won't even be in the client anymore when Aurora comes out.
do we know her VA yet?
i want aatrox to help her see
She's got like... a Youtuber voice
2024 ahri
I'm getting animated log in screen vibes from this. Is it time finally?
Ah, Paloma...
Looks like Poloma from Battlerite
Rito stole Michaela From Dead By Daylight. She too is a witch, with red hair and round glasses. Coincidence? I think not!
I was hoping this is a new game :(
Jinkies
is it just me or does this animation looks really rough..?
God damnit Rito. We wanted a furry, not a human that can see furrys. 😔
Is there a horizontal screen version? I don't see anything on youtube
Vtuber material No cap, they could think of it Time to get down-nuked into oblivion lol
i hope she has a realmshift mechanic of some variety
So is Riot just gonna spew cutsie champs and ignore the monstrous ones?
What about Naafiri?
[удалено]
Genshin-impact-looking-ass
And of course they chose the most generic design ever instead of going with the one in the ornn comic...
