**In the Twisted Treeline, the West Altar warns [[{{Our Centaurs Are Different}} Hecarim]] that [[{{Tin Tyrant}} Mordekaiser]] is not be trusted. Mind you, in Hecarim's lore, he was a juggernaut of an undead centaur that left desolation in his wake, [[{{Sanity Slippage}} driving the commander that stood against him into madness]]. Then, in the puppet show, he attacked a ship full of innocent civilians, slaughtering them before they could flee. If this barbaric being needs to be warned about Mordekaiser, [[{{Oh Crap}} just how bad must the Master of Metal be?]]

*** Speaking of Twisted Fate, the "Burning Tides" event significantly retconned his lore, particularly the nature of his magic and the betrayal of Graves. In his new lore, he always had magic -- the "betrayal" was that TF fled a fight when Graves wanted to fight it out, resulting in Graves getting caught out and captured. You know, the kind of scenario that could happen in ''any Normal game'' where one player gets himself out of a teamfight going south and gets cursed out by a player who stayed in and was killed.

** Well, to answer the last question, there are two important aspects to petrification. One is turning to stone; the other is immobility. Malphite might already be stone, but that doesn't mean Cassiopeia can't stop him from moving or slow him down.

** Ekko brings back two cases of Fridge Horror. He uses a [[{{Magitek}} Hextech]] device that let's him travel back in time, if possibly only for short hops back. Now recall the following: Zilean, is a Time Mage, who we know also dabbled in Hextech devices to control time. He's been affected by chrono-displasia. It was also his super powered Time magic which turned Kalamanda into the Crystal Scar due to how much magic was used (at least, as how the lore told us so far, as we haven't been told about how the lore for that is being retcon yet}}, to stop an massive war between Noxus and Demacia, and it took weeks to carefully extract everyone from the stasis bubble carefully so they wouldn't suffer from chrono-displasia as well. On top of that, Vel'Koz has taken a keen interest in Zilean, because he found Zilean's old workshop and time shifting devices. What's going to stop Velk'Koz from suddenly turning his attention to Ekko instead? Attention which typically ends in death by DisintegratorRay to learn what objects and beings are made up of and how they function.

*** WordofGod confirms this. that Vel'Koz would indeed do just that, and double his effort upon learning that Ekko has some Time-Control devices. As for Zilian, while Ekko considers him a friend to learn about time control, Zilian (and possibly Bard even) would consider Ekko being reckless with his Z-Drive, and be concerned with rippling effects of messing with the time stream.

** Speaking of Brand, his /joke has him doing the stop-drop-and-roll routine to put out the flames on his body. We also know that his body used to belong to a certain Kegan Rodhe. Could it be that this /joke actually represents how Kegan momentarily regains consciousness in his hijacked body, realizes that he is on fire and tries the humanly logical thing (trying to put out the fire) before the Brand personality reasserts control?

* This a gameplay thing. Twisted Fate has the ability ''Pick A Card'', which presents him with three card choices. One card stuns, another card deals splash damage and slows, while the third card restores Twisted Fate's mana. This mana-replenishing card always gives you more mana than it takes to cast the ability. But after playing a lot of matches where the enemy I want to hit is just out reach, and subsequently losing a lot of mana, I realized something: Twisted Fate is TheGambler. In order to win money, you've got to pay money. It's more than just your average risk vs. reward. It's a ''literal'' aspect of his character.

** The much maligned-retconning of the in-universe League could have a point to it. It was backed by extremely powerful summoners, which means any threat to Valoran's safety was squelched immediately. One can see this in the backstory to the Crystal Scar; it was a war zone, complete with hextech nukes, until the Institute said "No. Stoppit." and stopped time around it. They could have done that at any point during the story, could still do that at any point. Which means that the Black Mist of the Harrowing is nothing more than a heavy fog to them, The Void becomes a mere annoyance in their presence, and the Demacia/Noxus cold war has no means of going hot without drawing the Institute's ire. They are literally a StoryBreakerPower.

** In the new lore, Cassiopeia is cursed from a trap in the tomb that had Xerath and Renekton locked in it. The tomb was opened by Sivir's boomerang. It's also now known that Sivir is Azir's descendent. In short: If Cassiopeia let Sivir open the tomb herself, she likely wouldn't be cursed. EpicFail caused by GenreBlindness much?

Well, his village would most likely always be strained for food, so a baker would most likely be just as important to them as strong warriors.

** Pantheon's baker joke can make a lot of sense if you notice that the Rakkor tribe, according to the lore, always have their food supplies cut down. So it wasn't just because of the warrior's calling, but as much as Pantheon wanted to be a baker, he's always out of food supplies to bake cakes, so the only available path is to become the {{Badass}} warrior.

This is because the preview was written by his brother who, much like the rest of his clan, believed that Yasuo was responsible for their Elder's death.
