YMMV / Pentakill

Go To

  • Evil Is Cool:
    • Pretty much the appeal of the band— while not evil per se, the black clothing and spikes, violent demeanor, and terrifying presence definitely carry a lot of charisma and many of the members (Like Mordekaiser, Karthus) fall into being evil or at least morally gray in their original League of Legends lore.
    • Lost Chapter and its live event provided Viego, the Villainous Vocalist of Dissonance. While an antagonist to Pentakill, his combination of cool look, extremely grand entrance (Growing a tower from the ground!), gritty and hammy vocals, and gradual Villainous Breakdown all sell him as an entertaining foe.
  • Growing the Beard: Grasp Of the Undying is agreed to be the better album than Smite, which wasn't bad per se, but did suffer identity issues.
  • Love to Hate: Viego from Lost Chapter. Despite being an unlikable antagonist, his over-the-top presentation and gradual Villainous Breakdown make it delightful to watch Pentakill finally take him down.
  • Narm Charm: Viego's defeat and his subsequent punching from Mordekaiser on the virtual concert in 2021. The presentation left much to be desired, but considering Viego's divisive reaction in his own Ruination event back in the same year, plus the fact that its the fan favorite Mordekaiser who did the justice straight to his face makes it just thrice as awesome as it is.
  • Signature Scene: The most replayed and discussed sequence in Lost Chapter is the scene of a gigantic Mordekaiser, enhanced by The Power of Rock, striding across a wasteland while literally carrying the entire band on his body.
