4* ''The Shark Chariot''. Of all the ways to die on the [[DeathWorld Shadow Isles]], getting chased down by an undead legionnaire riding a chariot drawn by ''[[FlyingSeafoodSpecial flying]] [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot ghost sharks]]'' has to be one of the most hilariously sad ways to go.
5-->'''Lucian''': [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You've gotta be kidding me.]]
6** Even Hecarim is rather miffed upon the Shark Chariot's arrival.
7--->'''Hecarim''': That... I... don't remember that at all.
8* The Laurent Chevalier is... [[AgentPeacock flashy,]] [[TheDandy to put]] [[{{Camp}} it lightly.]] Fiora [[EveryoneHasStandards (and even other Laurent duelists)]] thinks he's a bit much.
9* Amateur Aeronaut is depicted as riding around on a prototype HoverBoard. In almost every interaction, the poor guy sounds like he's struggling really hard at keeping balance.
10-->"Personal flying machines? A pipe dream! I just had my apprentice throw the latest prototype out, in fact. Now, where is he?" - Piltovan Engineer
11* The Piltover/Zaun "Shady Character". [[PaperThinDisguise Pay no attention to them, it's obviously not a pair of yordles in a junky suit.]]
12* The "[[TransformationTrinket Hextech Transmogulator]]" presents a funny scenario in the flavor text, practically begging for more stories of the shenanigans such a device has resulted in.
13-->"You kept saying you wanted to lose weight."\
14"[[ForcedTransformation So you turned me into a yordle?!]]"\
15[[ComicallyMissingThePoint "You lost weight!"]]\
16"[[CaptainObvious ...I'M ALSO A YORDLE!]]"
17* We finally get the full backstory behind Teemo's explosive mushrooms: they appear to be foraged by raccoon-like "Clumps of Whumps" in Zaun, in turn collected by not just Teemo, but a shady human [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "Puffcap Peddler"]]. It looks like those shrooms [[FantasticDrug really are in fact]] [[MushroomSamba a lot more "magic" than we thought.]]
18-->"These any good?"\
19"Of course! They're all top notch! Spoke to them myself!"\
20"Okay hand em--wait what?"\
21"Mmhmm! Getting married, this one!"\
22"How many have you had...?"\
23"--to a barnacle!"
24* The "Oblivious Islander" card. Depicting an old man [[FailedASpotCheck who seems to have just not noticed the Shadow Isles turning into a specter-infested hellhole.]] Even if he gets killed, he sounds incredibly blasé and as if he simply fell overboard, not even recognizing the likely supernatural thing that just killed him.
25-->'''Oblivious Islander''': Sure is dark, eh?\
26'''Lucian''': [[SarcasmFailure You should... really pay more attention.]]
27* The yordle Arena Bookie operating around the Noxian [[GladiatorGames Reckoning Pits]] -- [[AerithAndBob named Karl]] -- refers to each of his clients [[BlatantLies as his "favorite client"]] and appears to have a long history of weaseling out of payments.
28-->'''[[DumbMuscle Kato the Arm]]''': Mr. Moneybags! Where's my, um...\
29'''Karl''': Guh-- focus on the fight, Kato!
30* One unit is [[ImYourBiggestFan "Draven's Biggest Fan"]], a {{fanboy}} dressed up in a cheap facsimile of Draven's outfit (complete with a homemade sling in place of his spinning axes) who often tries to imitate his dialogue. Introduce the real Draven into the game, and things get even more hilarious.
31-->'''Draven's Biggest Fan''': ''[[InelegantBlubbering (sobbing)]]'' ''Draveeen I love you!''\
32'''Draven''': [[ItsAllAboutMe Me too, kiddo. Meee too.]]
33* If the fact the two share artwork together didn't already suggest it, the flavor texts of [[HuskyRusskie Kato the Arm]] and [[DeviousDaggers Shiraza the Blade]] indicate that they they're [[BattleCouple a couple]] and [[CannotKeepASecret are terrible at keeping that fact a secret.]]
34-->'''Kato''': Shiraza is a great girlfriend--[[VerbalBackspace I mean friend]]--[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial and we are in no way dating]]. [[CouldSayItBut But if we were, I would like her to know that I wish her a happy anniversary.]] Thank you, no more questions.\
35'''Shiraza''': He said what?! [[DumbMuscle That man has bricks for brains. Can't fault those shoulders, though...]]
36* The flavor text for the [[https://lor.mobalytics.gg/en_us/cards/01NX034 Affectionate Poro]]. Darius is not a fan.
37-->'''Darius''': "Noxus has no room for... for weakn--Will someone get this DAMNED THING OFF ME?!"
38* The saga of one [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Professor_von_Yipp_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Professor von Yipp]] has been a hilarious and increasingly bizarre one:
39** Von Yipp was introduced in his namesake card on the game's launch, but while the game focuses on a human scientist in the artwork, it turns out that [[ActuallyThatsMyAssistant he's actually just a translator and assistant]]. The real von Yipp --renowned genius of the PNZ-- is ''[[IntellectualAnimal the cat]]''. It was later revealed in [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/to-herd-a-cat/ a color story]] that Von Yipp had created [[FreakyFridayFlip a body-swapping machine]] out of a desire to up his Piltovan colleagues, but while the test on [[ProfessorGuineaPig himself]] and and his pet cat worked, the machine broke, leaving him stuck in cat form. Incredibly, he managed to teach his cat (still stuck in his human body) to reliably impersonate him, successfully securing his tenure.
40** Also on launch introduced the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Purrsuit_of_Perfection_(Legends_of_Runeterra) "Purrsuit of Perfection"]], a long-con spell card that eventually summons ''the strongest unit in the game'' at a whopping 30 Health and 30 Power: [[MegaNeko a giant hextech mech piloted by von Yipp]] called [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Catastrophe_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Catastrophe]]. The conclusion of the aforementioned color story revealed that ''this'' is the project that he wanted to secure funding for.
41--->"Your end is MEOW."
42** In the ''Rising Tides'' expansion, we also got [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Subpurrsible_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Subpurrsible]], featuring von Yipp piloting a submarine. What's weirder is that while his previous card had him only able to speak in cat-like meows, his dialogue with this card is clearly [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/1/1e/VO_Subpurrsible_summon_01.ogg/ a human voice enunciating "Meow! Meow!"]]
43** The ''Call of the Mountain'' expansion reintroduced him as the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Nyandroid_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Nyandroid]], now an [[{{Cyborg}} augmented cyborg cat]] who seemingly teamed up with [[MadScientist Viktor]] offscreen. Said augmentations finally gave him the ability to speak, and [[CatsAreMean he's just as dastardly and adorable]] as you would expect.
44--->'''Viktor''': ''[[NotSoStoic (confused)]]'' You still cling to flesh and... fur?\
45'''Nyandroid''': Behold ''me''-ow, hairless apes!
46** He shows up again in the ''Rise of the Underworlds'' expansion as the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Fallen_Feline_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Fallen Feline]], depicting him sometime before he became a full-fledged Nyandroid and trying to grab a "[[PowerCrystal hexite crystal]]" ([[ButtMonkey while also inexplicably falling from a great height]]). The flavor text and several voice interactions also suggest that said crystal is what allows him to speak normally -- once he's out of range, [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody he reverts to panicked meows]], and thus everyone he comes across treats him like he's just a normal stray cat.
47* The flavor text for the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Sinister_Poro_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Sinister Poro]].
48-->"I mean, there are worse ways to die."
49* [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Deny_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Deny]]'s flavor text is hilarious in its brevity.
50-->"[[LittleNo No.]]"
51* The Zaunite Urchin at first glance like a poor beggar girl, but [[https://img.rankedboost.com/wp-content/plugins/legends-of-runeterra/assets/unit-and-champion-artwork/01PZ045-full.png the full artwork]] [[LittleMissConArtist shows that it's]] [[DeliberatelyCuteChild all an act.]] She has several interactions with other Zaunite children helping out her performance.
52-->"You'd think the sumprats would look after their own."\
53"Too busy basking in their self-pity, brother."\
54"Shame. Ah... have you seen my purse?"
55* "Blinding Assault" reveals Legion Marauder has had a run-in with Valor.
56-->"He's in my hair! HE'S IN MY HAIR!"
57* The Mystifying Magician performs [[MagiciansAreWizards parlor tricks with genuine magic attached]], but based on the flavor text, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent the looks of revulsion from onlookers]] [[https://cdn1.dotesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/30172014/Mystifying-Magician-LoR-Legends-of-runeterra.png in his full artwork]], and [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration the unpredictability of his]] [[ForcedTransformation transforming mechanic]], he apparently leaves a lot to be desired. [[FunnyForeigner His unflatteringly goofy]] [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent Italian-ish accent]] also probably isn't winning him any favors.
58-->"Marvolio? Where... Where are my hands?"\
59"[[FunetikAksent I will-a now make-a them appear!]] Tadaa! [[{{Beat}} Ahem.]] Ta... daa...!"\
60"...WHERE ARE MY HANDS?!"\
61[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere "OKAY, TIME-A TO GO! THANK-A YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!"]]
62* The Dreg Dredgers are a group of funky-looking creatures (who may or may not be yordles) who appear to specialize in digging up trash from the waters, but often end up pulling up more than they bargained for. With their odd, diminutive appearances and [[YouNoTakeCandle hilarious speech patterns]], some have compared them to feral [[Franchise/DespicableMe Minions]].
63-->''[[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/a6/VO_DregDredgers_summon_03.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20200530210718 (singing)]]'' "Trash from da sea, all of dem for... [[SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion I!]]"
64* The very ''existence'' of the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Swole_Squirrel_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Swole Squirrel]].
65* The FlavorText for Aurelion Sol's different cards directly referred to him as a consultant, [[HumansAreMorons which he responded]] [[SmugSuper to in his own way]]:
66-->"I don't care what you write about me, you middling creature! Just make sure I'm described as handsome. And magnificent. And also very, very intelligent. Can you spell that?"\
67''[[BrickJoke (when levelled-up)]]'' "Aurelion Sol is handsome. And magnificent. And also very, very inteligent."
68** He also gets a similar stab at first-person sass in a ''loading-screen tip'':
69--->''"No, I don't want to be in a loading screen tip! What is a 'loading screen', anyway?" - Aurelion Sol''
70* The Crimson Aristocrat is just hilariously blunt in one of her attack/block quotes:
71-->''"[[BrutalHonesty I'd ask your name but I don't care.]]"''
72* The [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Young_Witch_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Young Witch]] (named Bri) is accompanied by a talking frog companion named Rib. It turns out he used to be an adventurer named Sir Ribery Montague who stumbled into a bandlewood and [[ForcedTransformation was transformed into a frog by the girl]], and now she drags him along for ''her'' adventures. As if that wasn't sad enough, [[TheChewToy the full artwork shows her dragging the poor guy by his tongue]], and his voice acting reflects this.
73-->'''Bri''': Is it adventure time, you guys?\
74'''Rib''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck pleath, no...]]
75* [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Tasty_Faefolk_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Tasty Faefolk]] are a group of goofy-looking creatures [[{{Planimal}} vaguely reminiscent of eggplants]] who don't seem to mind the idea of getting munched on by passersby, with their FlavorText [[https://i.redd.it/8j5wtdvyidv51.png being the nutritional information of a raw eggplant]]. Several interactions with [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Lulu]] imply that these are the things [[TastesLikePurple she tastes purple]] from.
76-->''"[[BrickJoke I taste purple]]. [[FlatJoy Yaaaaay...]]"''
77** Introduced later on is the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Furious_Faefolk_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Furious Faefolk]], showing one especially daring (if still lethargic) instance of these becoming an action hero. Unfortunately, this awareness means he now realizes that Lulu is a danger.
78--->'''Lulu''': [[RunningGag Yep! That tasted purple!]]\
79'''Furious Faefolk''': I NEED AN ADULT!
80* [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Augmented_Experimenter_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Augmented Experimenter]] is a Zaunite MadScientist who sacrificed his hands to presently work with [[ArtificialLimbs cyborg replacements]]. Not very funny on its own, but in a dark twist of quasi-[[GameplayAndStoryIntegration gameplay/story integration]], playing him requires you, the player, to discard ''your'' hand (of cards). The card description shows that Riot knew what they were doing:
81-->''"[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall His dreams cost him his hands, yet he persisted. Nothing would stand in his way.]]"''
82* Yasuo's main card has him about to be ambushed by Ionian brigands. He is drawing his sword with an annoyed expression that speaks less of instant battle readiness and more of "Not ''this'' shit again..."
83* The game lets you view the related cards of Champions or cards that generate or interact with other specific cards. While most are pretty standard, the related cards of Overgrown Snapvine (which kills any follower you summon, aside from another Snapvine, to spawn another copy of itself) are listed as [[OverlyLongGag nine more Overgrown Snapvines]].
84* The Call of the Mountain expansion introduced [[FunnyAnimal a very peculiar set]] of [[UnexplainedAccent accented]] Bilgewater followers: ​"[[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Boxtopus_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Boxtopus]]", a BoxingBattler who is also an octopus with [[ViolentGlaswegian a Scottish accent]], "[[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Wise_Fry_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Wise Fry]]", a weird little [[BigApplesauce New Yorker-ish]] fish boss with aspirations, "[[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Lounging_Lizard_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Lounging Lizard]]", an [[LizardFolk anthropomorphic chameleon]] with a smooth [[UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent Australian accent]], and "[[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Fortune_Croaker_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Fortune Croaker]]", a froglike FortuneTeller who speaks in [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent goodness-knows-what]].
85* [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Practical_Perfectionist_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Practical Perfectionist]] is a friend of Ekko's who seems to tinker with cloning hextech and [[MesACrowd can duplicate other allied cards]]. She has several interactions for running into clones of ''herself'', mostly consisting of [[WhichMe both versions of her]] getting justifiably freaked out -- one interaction consists of [[ReactiveContinuousScream nothing but increasingly high-pitched screaming]].
86--->'''Ally Practical Perfectionist''': [[OhCrap Oh noooo]], I made [[EvilDoppelganger an evil me]]!\
87'''Enemy Practical Perfectionist''': What if ''you're'' the evil me?!
88** [[BrickJoke Thanks to the Worldbreaker expansion]], we finally do have an [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Evil_Imperfectionist_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Evil Imperfectionist]]! Compared to above, having multiple instances of them causes them to share in [[EvilLaugh the same hammy evil laughter]], and upon realizing there's another clone of her on the opposing team:
89--->'''Ally Evil Imperfectionist''': ''(screams)'' I made a ''good'' me!\
90'''Enemy Evil Imperfectionist''': What if ''you're'' the good ''me?!''
91* [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Darkbulb_Acolyte_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Darkbulb Acolyte]] is one of Veigar's loyal servants, bundled up in a large coat meant for [[ShockAndAwe summoning electricity]]. Consequently, all of his lines [[TheUnintelligible are muffled to the point of near-incomprehensibility]], not that it stops him from ChewingTheScenery anyway. The entire dynamic with him and Veigar is almost like [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark a Kenny and Cartman]] scenario.
92-->'''Darkbulb Acolyte''': BRNG MH LGHTNGH, ''BRNG MH DHKNSS!''\
93'''Veigar''': Reach for the lightning, my incomprehensible lackey!
94* Spinning off from the Swole Squirrel from earlier, the Bandle City expansion provides the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Swole_Scout_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Swole Scout]], a [[TopHeavyGuy very jacked]] and [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]] ArmyScout yordle who oddly enough speaks like a SurferDude.
95-->'''Swole Scout''': Nine-ninety nine, one-thousand, let's go!\
96'''Ava Achiever''': [[DeadpanSnarker Don't you normally start the count from one?]]
97* The [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Aloof_Travelers_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Aloof Travelers]], a pair of yordles going on what appears to be a HorribleCampingTrip, consisting of an unnamed male who's a neurotic mess, and Elle, a female yordle EmoTeen who makes [[WesternAnimation/{{Daria}} Daria Morgendorffer]] sound lively and enthusiastic, complaining about ''everything.'' Their flavour text is Elle saying it's the ''[[WorstWhateverEver "Worst. Trip. Ever."]]'' and when they're destroyed they react more like [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere they've just gotten fed up and left]] rather than dying.
98* Poppy's flavor text poking fun at her [[HumbleHero humble]] [[IgnorantOfTheCall obliviousness.]]
99-->''Humility is a mark of heroism, but many historians would agree that Poppy is kind of pushing it.''
100* The card "Pokey Stick". Which is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what it sounds like]].
101-->''The first rule of experimentation: poke it, and see what happens.''
102* The Spotted Toad continues the trend of yordle experimentation:
103--> ''The yordles of Nakotak Valley had tried for several generations to understand their gromp neighbors. First, Chief Hegabo had tried poking them with a stick. Next, Chief Babobu tried poking them with a stick. Chief Nakotak had a brand new plan: [[RuleOfThree he was going to poke them with a stick]].''
104** And its transformed version, Giga Gromp, indicates that the creature, unsurprisingly, did not appreciate being poked with a stick.
105---> ''So, it turns out that poking Nakotak Valley gromps with a stick causes them to react very... [[MakeMyMonsterGrow expansively!]] If only those yordles had known this through extensive, generational testing. [[AesopAmnesia If. Only.]]''
106* The addition of Neeko to the game adds the Bird, Cat, Dog, and Reptile groups to the game as part of her Origin. Seeing these tags on units can be funny enough as it is without context, but it gets even funnier with Azir, Nasus, and Renekton now being an Ascended Bird, Ascended Dog, and Ascended Reptile respectively.
107* The Elder Dragon enters ''[=LoR=]'' as a Champion, and it's as insanely powerful as it is on The Rift, with its levelled-up form being [[InfinityPlusOneSword a 12-mana, but 30/30 card with Fury]]. To boot, its card description simply reads in "[[NighInvulnerable I CANNOT BE STOPPED]]", complete with AllCaps and [[NoPunctuationIsFunnier no punctuation]].
108* The Dreamlit Paths expansion brings in [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Mister_Root_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Mister Root]], a BrickJoke from Lillia's voice responses in ''League''. Turns out Mister Root is an actual plant sprite who is amusingly and disturbingly nihilistic and [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior eagerly talks about it in a bright, childish tone]].
109-->''(while summoning another ally as per his ability)'' "[[BlackComedy I hope you're excited to die too!]]"\
110''(upon actually dying)'' "[[DeathSeeker Yaaaaay]]!"\
111[[/folder]]
112
113[[folder:Interactions]]
114* Jinx is back, and she continues being the [[PsychopathicManchild manic]] MadBomber we all know and love:
115-->'''Jinx''': ''(when an enemy Heimerdinger arrives)'' Yay! ''Target practice!''\
116'''Heimerdinger''': I forbid it! You cannot ruin [[OhNoNotAgain yet another]] [[NoodleIncident batch of experiments!]]
117** This game reveals the existence of a "[[TheArmorer Funsmith]]" that seems to be at least partially involved with how Jinx gets her firepower. The fact the two share [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} a very]] [[GenkiGirl similar wavelength]] is both disconcerting and wonderful.
118--->'''Funsmith''': It's not exactly legal, but it is exactly ''awesome!''\
119'''Jinx''': ''(delightedly)'' You... you get me!
120** She clearly gets a kick out of mocking Garen's PatrioticFervor.
121--->'''Garen:''' My heart and sword for Demacia!\
122'''Jinx:''' My blargh and bloof for Bu-blah-cia!
123** Regardless of whether she's an enemy or an ally, Jinx also gets a lot of mileage out of annoying [[ArchEnemy Vi]].
124--->'''Jinx''': [[BrickJoke Vi? Stands for]] ''[[BigStupidDoodooHead stupid.]]''\
125'''Vi''': [[TeethClenchedTeamwork How long do I have to pretend to tolerate you?]]
126** She's also fun when teamed up with Lux.
127--->'''Lux:''' We can do this!\
128'''Jinx:''' Yeah! ...Wait, do what?
129** It really says a lot about Jinx that this is her response to the player idling for too long:
130--->'''Jinx:''' Are you ''pooping?''
131* [[ItsAllAboutMe Draven]] is once again Noxus' resident comedic goldmine:
132** His simple reaction to an enemy Teemo.
133--->'''Teemo''': Reporting in!\
134'''Draven''': What the [[SoundEffectBleep *BLEEP*]] is that!?
135** Draven spares no opportunity to make fun of Fiora's ego ''and'' [[UnexplainedAccent accent.]]
136--->'''Fiora''': By my honor, you must die!\
137'''Draven''': [[SarcasmMode Oh no]], [[JustAStupidAccent a soo-waurd!]]
138** [[TheProfessor Heimerdinger]] is a very easy target for him:
139--->'''Heimerdinger''': Ah, the sweet smell of science!\
140'''Draven''': ''[[BigStupidDoodooHead Nerrrd!]]''
141** [[EveryoneHasStandards For once]], [[PsychopathicManchild Jinx]] manages to turn Draven into the StraightMan.
142--->'''Jinx''': Rules are made to be broken, like buildings! Or ''people!''\
143'''Draven''': [[DeadpanSnarker You should try blinking some time.]]
144** When Draven has become [[OnlySaneMan the voice of sanity]] in a two-person conversation, something has gone very wrong.
145--->'''Vladimir''': [[{{Sadist}} Do you enjoy making them bleed?]]\
146'''Draven''': Why do you always gotta be so creepy, man?
147* As one might expect, the interactions between [[FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling Darius]] [[SiblingYinYang and Draven]] are priceless:
148** One interaction should they be on opposite sides prompts this classic exchange, made even funnier by how legitimately ''[[NotSoStoic whiny]]'' [[TheComicallySerious Darius]] sounds.
149--->'''Draven''': Oh, brother.\
150'''Darius''': ''I'' was going to say that!
151** While Darius sounds [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes legitimately concerned when an allied Draven dies next to him]], the same cannot be said for the other way around.
152--->'''Draven''': [[DeathIsCheap He'll be back]], he's too stupid to die.
153* The understandably awkward situation of [[EnemyMine Garen and Darius being allies.]]
154-->'''Darius''': I, uhh... like your [[ShouldersOfDoom pauldrons.]]\
155'''Garen''': Yours are... also acceptable.
156* [[DatingCatwoman Katarina and Garen]] aren't fooling anyone.
157-->'''Katarina:''' I will slay you where you stand! ''(softly)'' Dinner, tonight?\
158'''Garen:''' You shall fall on your folly! ''(whispers)'' Meet me at the south docks after dark!
159** One interaction between Kat and Tianna Crownguard implies that the latter [[EveryoneCanSeeIt is aware of the former's relationship with her nephew.]] Kat responds succinctly.
160--->'''Tianna''': I do ''not'' approve.\
161'''Katarina''': ''I'' do not ''care.''
162** Later when Jarvan IV was added to the game, his reaction to Katarina pretty much confirms that [[OpenSecret the cat's out of the bag.]]
163--->'''Jarvan IV''': ''(genuinely confused)'' [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim What does he see in you?]]
164* Even ''Thresh'' isn't wild about being allied with Teemo.
165-->'''Teemo''': Hut, two, three, four!\
166'''Thresh''': And I thought ''I'' was evil.
167** Conversely, another interaction has Thresh responding in an... [[AffablyEvil oddly warm and almost paternal way.]]
168--->'''Teemo''': So... what ''does'' happen when we die?\
169'''Thresh''': I'll tell you when you're taller.
170* Thresh being somewhat peeved when the Sinister Poro is played.
171-->'''Thresh''': They'll allow anyone these days.
172** At the same time, it doesn't sound like he's too opposed to the Sinister Poro fighting for the Isles.
173--->'''Thresh''': A for effort, my little friend.
174* Garen responding to [[MirrorMatch Garen]] through the best way he knows how:
175-->'''Garen 1''': [[PatrioticFervor For Demacia!]]\
176'''Garen 2''': No, for ''Demacia!''
177* Lux getting paired up with Demacian Mageseekers is obviously a very tense and awkward situation.
178-->'''Mageseeker Investigator''': [[ObliviousMockery This place reeks of foul magics.]]\
179'''Lux''': ''[[LiteralMinded (sniffs)]]'' Rude.
180* Lucian and Fiora compare their fighting styles:
181-->'''Fiora''': [[MasterSwordsman I best my enemies]] [[DeathOfAThousandCuts in a flurry of steel.]]\
182'''Lucian''': [[CombatPragmatist I just shoot mine.]]
183* Even after all these years, Tryndamere hasn't learned any new jokes:
184-->'''Tryndamere''': My right arm is a lot stronger than my left arm.\
185'''Ashe''': ''[[NeverHeardThatOneBefore (sigh)]]''
186* Nearly all of Ashe's lines while commanding her Freljordian troops are straightforward, but one with the Avarosan Outriders (soldiers riding [[HorseOfADifferentColor giant, goat-like elnuks]]) [[NotSoStoic briefly cuts through her professional veneer]]:
187-->'''Avarosan Outrider''': United, nothing can stop us!\
188'''Ashe''': ''(disgusted)'' [[ThePigPen That elnuk could use a bath...]]
189* Yasuo isn't exactly stoked at the prospect of fighting alongside Zed.
190-->'''Zed:''' The enemy of my enemy--\
191'''Yasuo:''' --''barely'' tolerates you.
192* [[LargeHamAnnouncer The Arena Battlecaster]] does a great job hyping up various Noxian fighters as they enter the battlefield, but the entrance of the Arena Bookie completely throws him off.
193-->'''Arena Battlecaster''': It's a small... furry... man?\
194'''Arena Bookie''': Heh, hi, yeah, name's Karl, nice to uhh... okay.
195* Both interactions with [[BattleCouple Kato the Arm and Shiraza the Blade]] on opposing sides are equally hilarious:
196-->'''Shiraza''': It's killing time!\
197'''Kato''': Shiraza? [[LateToTheRealization What are you]] [[DumbMuscle doing over there?]]\
198\
199'''Kato''': It is me!\
200'''Shiraza''': Wrong side, jackass!
201* As befitting someone known as the Tidal Trickster, a great number of champ cards find Fizz unbearably annoying.
202** From Lee Sin:
203--->'''Fizz''': '''HEY, LEE SIN!'''\
204'''Lee Sin''': [[DisabledMeansHelpless I'm not deaf, you fool.]]
205** To Nautilus:
206--->'''Fizz''': Hey, [[EmbarrassingNickname Rusty]]. Gonna try to kill me again?\
207'''Nautilus''': I hate you...
208** Even the odd Dreg Dredger gets a good dig in at Fizz's expense.
209--->'''Fizz''': Let me at 'em!\
210'''Dreg Dredger''': Nobody like soggy Teemo!
211* The very grim Nautilus gets some [[TheComicallySerious hilarious interactions.]]
212** Continuing the trend, even he finds Teemo annoying.
213--->'''Teemo''': Reporting in!\
214'''Nautilus''': Monster!
215** This little gem when he meets [[MirrorMatch himself]].
216--->'''Nautilus''': My voice is deeper than yours.\
217'''Nautilus''': ''(In a deeper tone)'' I disagree.
218* Gangplank, Bilgewater's most infamous pirate and scourge of the seas, has a bit of a soft spot for the Plunder Poro.
219-->'''Gangplank:''' You! You're... quite adorable...
220* By the same token Sejuani, the most brutal and ruthless Warmother of the Freljord, is attracted to the furry little buggers as well, especially the poor Lonely Poro, although she ''can'' resist them with a massive force of will.
221-->'''Sejuani:''' You are cute, and I want to kiss your tiny face. But I will not.
222** Her "happy" response to seeing an allied Fluft of Poros being played is [[FlatJoy hilariously flat]], as if she's not used to being happy.
223* [[TheBeastmaster Quinn]] gets into not one, but ''two'' different and [[TheComicallySerious uncharacteristically mundane]] interactions with hard leader champions [[SeriousBusiness over their preferred animals.]]
224** With an allied [[CreepyCrows Swain]], he tries to offer a form of respect over a common preference. It doesn't take.
225--->'''Swain''': Always a pleasure to meet a fellow bird-lover.\
226'''Quinn''': [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame Don't lump me in with you.]] [[{{Squick}} That's... bleugh!]]
227** With an ally [[FullBoarAction Sejuani]], the two each take the opportunity for [[TrashTalk a quick, petty jab at the other.]]
228--->'''Quinn''': My bird could beat up your boar.\
229'''Sejuani''': Enough squabbling! [[HypocriticalHumor But Bristle is the strongest and would win.]]
230* The Slotbot is one of the only robotic Followers with a voice (incidentally by Joe Zieja, who also voiced EXO, [[BenevolentAI the flirty AI]] in Gun Goddess Miss Fortune's skin from ''League''). Half of its dialogue towards its silent contemporaries is amusing snark, while the other half is... [[RoboRomance eyebrow]]-[[HoYay raising]].
231-->''(to [[MegaNeko Catastrophe]])'' "God is a robot!"\
232''(to Flame Chompers!)'' "Flames that burn twice as hot are... [[CaptainObvious twice]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment as hot.]]"\
233''(to Plaza Guardian)'' "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Looks like I've hit the jackpot!]]"\
234''(also to Plaza Guardian)'' "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Look at that rugged, outdoorsy hardware!]]"\
235''(to [[CuteMachines Scrap]] [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Scuttler]])'' "[[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe Can I take you home?]]"\
236''(to Golden Crushbot)'' "[[DoubleEntendre You could 'crush' me anytime!]]"
237* This hilarious little MythologyGag when Twisted Fate is played on the same side as Miss Fortune:
238-->'''Miss Fortune:''' Hey TF, how's the partner?\
239'''Twisted Fate:''' Pretty good. [[MemeticMutation Quit smokin'.]]
240* Garen has unique dialogue for if an enemy Katarina is killed. One quote has him solemnly bemoan that there's no room for affection on the battlefield. The other one, on the other hand, is hilarious simply because of the absolutely ''whiny'' delivery of the line.
241--> "''[[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/7/7a/VO_Garen_death_enemy_Katarina_01.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20200530212847 No!" (sob)]]''
242* A lot of [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Nocturne/LoR Nocturne's]] interactions with other champions see him tormenting them with [[KickTheDog cruel taunts about their worst fears coming true]], like telling Lulu that the other Yordles hate her, or taunting Taric about letting his old comrades die. On the other hand, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking sometimes]] [[EvilIsPetty he gets a bit petty...]] and makes a joke that wouldn't pass as nightmarish to others, showing that he DOES have some sense of humor.
243-->'''Nocturne:''' [[LoveTriangle Ezreal will marry Lux]] and live HappilyEverAfter.
244-->'''Zoe:''' ''[[BigNo Nooohohohooo!!!]]''
245** By the same token, his interactions with Trundle usually feature the troll stubbornly refusing to believe Nocturne's words. However, what does elicits a reaction is being told his worst fear - which is that Boneshiver will melt, even though it's made of True Ice and as such literally can't. Nocturne himself is outright confused by it.
246-->'''Nocturne:''' Your club will... melt?\
247'''Trundle:''' ''[[BigNo NOOOOOOOOO!!!]]''
248* Aurelion Sol comes into the game with his trademark snark at everything and everyone.
249-->'''Taric''': Dragon.\
250'''Aurelion Sol''': Fashion disaster.
251** A few interactions acknowledge the fact both he and Vladimir happen to share similar egos and approaches to [[ManOfWealthAndTaste style and culture]], which actually seems to [[HypocriticalHumor really annoy Aurelion Sol.]]
252--->'''Vladimir''': I'd never keep my guests waiting.\
253'''Aurelion Sol''': I'd never attend.\
254\
255'''Vladimir''': Hello, my darlings!\
256'''Aurelion Sol''': [[EveryoneHasStandards Oh go away, you insufferable bore.]]
257* Sejuani has an array of threatening taunts for her enemies, but [[LameComeback sometimes she could do with]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough putting a bit more thought into them...]]
258-->'''Braum:''' Is it the moustache? Who knows!\
259'''Sejuani:''' I'll rip that moustache off and ''wear it!''
260* Cosmic Expansion brings Zoe into the game. Being [[GreatGazoo who she is]], certain other champions are not thrilled about it.
261** The dynamic she shares with Aurelion Sol is weird yet hilarious, with Zoe [[CutenessProximity unabashedly treating him like a precious "space puppy"]] and Aurelion Sol alternating his reactions to her between [[CondescendingCompassion resentful humiliation]], [[VitriolicBestBuds grumpy kinship]], and ''[[OhCrap abject fear]].''
262--->'''Zoe''': My name is Z-O-E no one can [[SuddenlyShouting SPACE PUPPY!]]\
263'''Aurelion Sol''': ''(muffled)'' [[BigNo NOOOO!]]
264** Viktor's [[EmotionSuppression emotionally-suppressed]] [[TheStoic seriousness]] vs. Zoe's [[GenkiGirl emotionally-outspoken silliness]] is a hoot:
265--->'''Zoe''': Viktor? He's so boring! He doesn't even like pink or cake!\
266'''Viktor''': You will have no cake! You are...[[BigStupidDooDooHead fart face!]]
267
268--->'''Zoe''': Whoa! Is that what I think it is? An optically-focused, high-intensity sparkle beam?!\
269'''Viktor''': Ugh, it is a DeathRay!
270
271--->'''Viktor''': I am the herald of the glorious evolution.\
272'''Zoe''': Omigosh, [[PortentOfDoom I'm a herald too!]] What's your favorite thing you ever heralded?
273** More often than not, she somehow manages to get even on ''Nocturne'''s nerves.
274--->'''Zoe''': Nightmares? Oh, I had this dream where I was onstage in front of all the Aspects and-\
275'''Nocturne''': ''(exasperated sighing)''\
276\
277'''Nocturne''': This world will fall, you will be alone...\
278'''Zoe''': [[ThreatBackfire I've got friends in other dimensions, silly goose!]]
279** In an odd, yet also [[FridgeBrilliance weirdly sensible]] turn of events, Diana [[ParentalSubstitute acts as like a mother figure of sorts to Zoe.]]
280--->'''Zoe''': Are you [[HalfHumanHybrid "part person, part moon"]], or [[AnthropomorphicPersonification the actual moon... moon]]?\
281'''Diana''': [[GodInHumanForm I am mortal and divine]], ''and'' [[TheComicallySerious "moon moon."]]\
282\
283'''Diana''': The moon is no stranger to changing phases.\
284'''Zoe''': [[EmoTeen Uuuugh, it's not a phase! This is who I really aaaaam!]]
285* Lulu has interactions utterly {{Squee}}!-ing [[CutenessProximity over several Poro cards]], but her interaction with the Poro Herder is where it sounds like she's finally about to lose it.
286-->'''Poro Herder''': Follow along, little ones.\
287'''Lulu''': SHOW me ''the POROS!''
288* Azir. Mighty Ascended warrior, beloved Emperor of Shurima...and awkward great-great etc. ancestor/grandpa around [[DeadpanSnarker Sivir]].
289-->'''Azir''': Sivir. I thought we might spend time and...'catch up'.
290-->'''Sivir''': Mm. That could be as fun as the time I almost died.
291
292-->'''Azir''': Sivir! I thought I might get to know my greatest great-granddaughter!
293-->'''Sivir''': Don't ever call me that again.
294
295-->'''Azir''': Power beyond measure! Am I 'cool' now?
296-->'''Sivir''': You'll never be cool.
297* Kindred retain their usual dynamic of [[TheStoic detached stoicism of Lamb]] to [[PsychopathicManchild primal aggression of Wolf]], which ends up creating [[TheComicallySerious some strange and amusing interactions]] with other characters, mortals or otherwise.
298** The [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Fading_Icon_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Fading Icon]] is implied to be some kind of {{Psychopomp}} in his own respect, [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly but had been forgotten over time and subsequently languishing in his power]][[note]]WordOfGod says he's the resident deity to [[SemiDivine the Baccai]] of Shurima, and that thanks to [[TheAgeless their functional immortality]], they've slowly forgotten death[[/note]]. For whatever reason, Kindred [[KickTheDog do not offer him any sympathy]].
299--->'''Fading Icon''': I was feared once, just as you are now!\
300'''Wolf''': What was that, Lamb?\
301'''Lamb''': [[DudeWheresMyRespect Something soon forgotten, dear Wolf.]]
302** With an allied Nasus, they share a sense of wistful nostalgia over [[VestigialEmpire Shurima's fate]]... or at least, Lamb does.
303--->'''Nasus''': Betrayal buried Shurima, hope revived it.\
304'''Lamb''': A vast land.\
305'''Wolf''': ''Too much sand!''
306** Meanwhile, against an ''enemy'' Nasus, [[KickTheDog the two take the opportunity]] to make fun of how Ascended he may be, he only knows so much.
307--->'''Nasus''': The cycle begins anew.\
308'''Lamb''': ''[[NotSoAboveItAll (mildly amused)]]'' He thinks he understands.\
309'''Wolf''': ''[[YouFool Fool!]]''
310** The two have slightly conflicted takes on [[AxCrazy Renekton]].
311--->'''Renekton''': As I live, ''all'' will die!\
312'''Lamb''': One does not avert the other.\
313'''Wolf''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I like him!]]
314** If the main player is idling for too long on their turn, they might make this remark:
315--->'''Wolf''': What is "waiting"?\
316'''Lamb''': [[TheComicallySerious Death on a smaller scale.]]
317* Just when you thought [[AxCrazy Renekton]] couldn't get any angrier, Sivir manages to bring it out:
318--> '''Sivir:''' Aren't you Nasus's brother? Uh... "Ruin-Toad?" "Rat-Tongue?"\
319'''Renekton:''' ''([[{{Angrish}} furious roaring]])''\
320\
321'''Sivir:''' Let's go. I wanna see some alligator tears.\
322'''Renekton:''' ''Crocodile!'' Ugh, savages...
323** And in her exchanges with [=LeBlanc=], Sivir is very blunt about what motivates her:
324---> '''[=LeBlanc=]''': Wealth is merely a foolish distraction, my dear.\
325'''Sivir:''' [[OnlyInItForTheMoney Then call me a rich, distracted fool.]]
326* [[AllLovingHero Soraka]] has virtually ''no'' lines of dialogue that can be seen as sarcastic or antagonistic, even to monsters and demons, but the closest she gets is [[ContinueYourMissionDammit if the enemy idles for too long]], showing that even she can get annoyed.
327-->'''Soraka''': I have consulted the stars, and they are... [[DeadpanSnarker bored]].
328* Nasus similarly [[NotSoStoic breaks his usually refined, stoic nature]] once the enemy takes too long to do anything. It's the bizarrely casual delivery of the line that makes it.
329-->'''Nasus''': I had the patience to wander for centuries, [[TheComicallySerious but come on!]]
330* Similarly, Kennen's idle quote when you take too long is a hilarious FailedAttemptAtDrama. He just sounds so ''deflated.''
331-->'''Kennen:''' ''[[BadassBoast The tempest gathers!]]'' [[AntiClimax ...it's still gathering...]]
332* Perhaps unexpectedly, Azir has a few interactions expressing curiosity at Ekko's [[TimeMachine time-warping Z-Drive]]. [[TheComicallySerious He ends up sounding like an old codger]] asking a kid to teach him about [[TechnologicallyBlindElders a newfangled gadget in over his head]].
333-->'''Ekko''': Ready for your next lesson, [[EmbarrassingNickname Dusty]]?\
334'''Azir''': Shurima's emperor is not ''dusty''. [[NotSoStoic But yes.]]\
335\
336'''Ekko''': Okay, so this is called a Z-Drive....\
337'''Azir''': And how many "hextechs" does this one cost?
338** One other interaction has Azir calmly relay to Ekko [[TheComicallySerious "Your emperor has learned of poros."]] Ekko is more bewildered that apparently, poros didn't exist in Azir's time.
339* For the first time, Riot explores just how much of a mismatch [[VileVillainLaughableLackey Lissandra and Trundle]] are as partners in war.
340-->'''Trundle''': ''[[{{Pun}} Ice]]'' to meet you, ha!\
341'''Lissandra''': [[SurroundedByIdiots Ugh...]]\
342\
343'''Trundle''': This is gonna be fuuun!\
344'''Lissandra''': Do not embarrass me, troll...
345* Akshan has some choice words when encountering a few forces of the Shadow Isles:
346-->''(encountering Invasive Hydravine)'' "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Well, it's been fun.]]"\
347''(encountering Thrumming Swarm)'' "A plague of scarabs? Yep, I'm cursed."\
348''(also against the Thrumming Swarm)'' "Death by giant insect? Eh, there are worse ways to go."\
349''(encountering Camavoran Dragon)'' "Who brings a dragon to a gunfight?!"
350* The Bilgewater expansions introduced "[[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Riptide_Rex_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Riptide Rex]]", a DumbMuscle shark man accompanied by the "[[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Petty_Officer_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Petty Officer]]". However, the Shurima expansions added in a separate card "[[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Ruined_Rex_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Ruined Rex]]" showing him [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie overtaken by the Ruination]], which also includes several interactions if his fully living counterpart is played simultaneously with him.
351-->'''Petty Officer''': Ready, Rex?\
352'''Riptide Rex''': Not yet!\
353'''Petty Officer''': [[AttackAttackAttack Good to go!]]\
354'''Ruined Rex''': Hey! That's me! Heeheheh!
355* From one capable TimeMaster to another, [[KidHero Ekko]] and [[CoolOldGuy Zilean]] have crossed each other's paths and have a friendly, hilarious rapport with one another:
356-->'''Zilean''': ...[[NoodleIncident let's not go back to that timeline]]... oh! Hello, Ekko!\
357'''Ekko''': 'sup, Zil?
358
359-->'''Ekko''': [[SdrawkcabSpeech ouS nyA waH nyeH]] -- ''(laughs)'' [[TheGadfly Nah, I'm just messing with ya!]]\
360'''Zilean''': Ekko! [[NoodleIncident That's happened before, you know!]]
361
362-->'''Ekko''': Ooh, you didn't get my note, Zil?\
363'''Zilean''': ''(winces)'' Not that I recall, no. [[OhCrap Oh dear.]]
364
365-->'''Zilean''': Ekko? You were supposed to be here tomorrow!\
366'''Ekko''': You said that yesterday! Good one, Zil... ''(deflating)'' [-high five, yeah...-]
367
368-->'''Zilean''': Can you guess my favorite herb?\
369'''Ekko''': [[{{Pun}} Thyme! Sage?]] Hmm... this is a joke, right?
370
371-->'''Zilean''': What do you call two time-traveling birds, Ekko?\
372'''Ekko''': [[{{Pun}} A paraducks!]] Also, [[LamePunReaction wow, Zil. Wow.]]
373* Nautilus accidentally stumbles into an almost-inevitable joke surrounding [[WhosOnFirst Ekko's name]].
374-->'''Nautilus''': Echoes from the deep...\
375'''[[FunWithHomophones Ekko]]''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Actually, he's from Zaun, but it's cool.]]
376* Pyke still has the professional yet threatening demeanor we've come to expect from him, and he manages to get some golden moments of [[DeadpanSnarker grim snark]] alongside it.
377** Renekton attempts a death threat. Given [[RevenantZombie what Pyke is]], it doesn't take.
378--->'''Renekton''': You will die this day, Pyke!\
379'''Pyke''': Wouldn't be my first time.
380** Pyke has a few interactions with Fizz, and amusingly, when they're on the same side, [[PetTheDog he actually treats him as a perfectly viable ally]], at worst just treating him as [[SidekickCreatureNuisance a personal nuisance]].
381--->'''Fizz''': Shaaaaark!\
382'''Pyke''': [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore That wasn't funny the first time, Fizz.]]
383** It appears that in addition to the jaull-fish constantly adding new targets onto his kill list, Pyke isn't above adding names on his own volition, [[EvilIsPetty and for very petty reasons]].
384--->'''Taliyah''': [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu This little fish won't last long in the desert!]]\
385'''Pyke''': New name for the list. How'd you spell "Taliyah"?
386** It does makes a weird amount of sense given his rapport with the ravenous aquatic beasts of the Swimming City, but it's still a little strange that [[AdmiringTheAbomination he has several lines appreciating]] the sand-dwelling [[LandShark Rek'Sai]]. Even funnier is when they're on opposing sides, he actually sounds a bit disappointed.
387--->'''Pyke''': And here I thought we'd be friends.
388* The Golden Ambassador naturally has responses to seeing all the Ascended Champion's summoned, given that her ability is built for drawing them from the deck. For Nasus and especially Azir, those responses are fairly reverent. For Renekton, on the other hand, she sounds a bit more hesitant:
389--> "He's... with us! Right?"
390* For a bloodthirsty, undead war machine, Sion comes with a few chuckle worthy interactions.
391-->'''(Encountering Ally Draven)''': The party has a-rrived!
392-->'''Sion''': Ugh. I hate parties.
393
394-->'''(Encountering Ally Jinx)''': Jinx? Stands for Jinx. Der.
395-->'''Sion''': Sion stands for 'Get out of my way'. Der.\
396\
397'''Sion''': ''([[BloodKnight enthusiastically]])'' Follow me, [[BuffySpeak little fur man]]. To glory!\
398'''Rumble''': ''(much less enthusiastically)'' Sure thing, big gross dead dude. To glory.
399* Veigar enters the game just as delusionally oblivious as ever:
400** He's immediately willing to test his luck with Xerath, [[UnknownRival who doesn't share the feeling.]]
401--->'''Veigar''': Finally, someone to rival my power!\
402'''Xerath''': [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You...you are joking, right?]]
403*** Then Veigar [[HumongousMecha levels up]] and..
404----> '''Grand Overseer Veigar:''' Greetings, miniature mortals!\
405'''Xerath:''' [[CaptainObvious Well that's clearly cheating]]..
406** Caitlyn is already fully aware of Veigar's BerserkButton and despite her professional demeanor, [[NotSoAboveItAll decides to press it.]]
407--->'''Caitlyn''': Veigar! I wasn't sure you'd make it on such... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis short]]... [[{{Pun}} notice...]]\
408'''Veigar''': [[TranquilFury Dear diary]]: ''KILL CAITLYN''.
409** Upon seeing [[HumongousMecha Grand Overseer Veigar]], Caitlyn gives a reaction that's less horror and more just... bewilderment.
410--->'''Veigar''': Well, look what the miniature cat brought in!\
411'''Caitlyn''': Good lord.
412** Veigar ends up with a surprising amount of interactions with Senna, largely due to their synergy of Darkness manipulation, but allowing for a very funny dynamic of Senna entertaining Veigar's EvilOverlord complex for the sake of the good fight.
413--->'''Veigar''': [[WeCanRuleTogether Together, Senna, we could rule the world!]]\
414'''Senna''': Yeah, I'm gonna leave that to you, little guy.
415** Teemo accidentally tramples in on Veigar's size-related BerserkButton:
416--->'''Veigar''': [[TheNapoleon Call me short, will they?!]]\
417'''Teemo''': Aw, [[AssuranceBackfire only for a yordle!]]
418** Surprisingly, Galio ends up being the only champion who gets away with pressing said BerserkButton, due to to being, well, [[GentleGiant the Colossus]].
419--->'''Galio''': Hello there little one!\
420'''Veigar''': I am not- [[OhCrap Oh]], [[{{Touche}} I suppose you're allowed]]...
421** The game reveals he has a [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Stilted_Robemaker_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Stilted Robemaker]], [[TheFashionista whose purpose is just to make Veigar look good and scary]].
422--->'''Grand Overseer Veigar''': Who's tiny now?!\
423'''Stilted Robemaker''': Strut, Veigar! And work those hips!
424* Ziggs and his twitchy MadBomber tendencies and deranged sense of humor have also returned.
425** One of his interactions with [[BirdsOfAFeather Jinx]] merely consists of the two sharing [[EvilLaugh maniacal laughter.]]
426** While confronting Tristana:
427--->'''Tristana''': You throw a bomb at one Bandle Gunner, you throw it as us all!\
428'''Ziggs''': [[ThreatBackfire Yeah? That's why they're called explosives!]]
429* Tristana's exchange with an enemy Fizz escalates very quickly:
430-->'''Fizz''': [[ThePrankster Wanna see a trick?]]\
431'''Tristana''': Wanna see ''[[{{BFG}} a gun]]''?
432* Galio enters the game ever the BoisterousBruiser he ever was. And has some cracking interactions with Veigar.
433-->'''Galio''': Veigar! There you are, my little matey.
434-->'''Veigar''': [[BerserkButton What...did you just call me?]]
435** Even in his [[HumongousMecha Grand Overseer Veigar]] form, he's still wary.
436-->'''Galio''': Veigar! Now this'll be a big fight, eh?
437-->'''Veigar''': I am not l-oh. Yes, hello.
438* Who knew that of all champions to impress and amuse [[MadArtist Jhin]], it would be ''[[CreepyChild Annie]]'' relaying the story of how she [[SelfMadeOrphan killed her stepparents]]?
439-->'''Annie:''' And then I went wush! Wush! And they died-ed.\
440'''Jhin:''' ''Both'' your parents with the toy they made you? Ha.
441* Orrn arrives, the same grumpy, anti-social forgemaster he always is.
442-->'''Anivia''': The spirit of winter awakens.
443-->'''Ornn (to an ally Anivia)''': Pretty words won't unburn my house, Anivia.
444-->'''Ornn (to an enemy Anivia)''': Nope! Get out of here! Shoo! Shoo!
445** He's rather flummoxed and slightly annoyed that Braum has turned his vault door into a weapon.
446--->'''Ornn''' ''(to an ally Braum)'': Is that..? ''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe *(sigh)*]]'' Is that my vault door?
447--->'''Ornn''' ''(to enemy Braum)'': Braaaauuum. give me back my door!
448* Vayne isn't one for jokes, but she's also not above petty jabs:
449-->'''Ezreal:''' Time for a true display of skill!\
450'''Vayne:''' [[GogglesDoNothing You're wearing goggles as a hat, you imbecile.]]
451* Varus's flavor text and voice lines confirm that not only are Kai and Valmar still going strong, they still speak to him inside his mind. Amusingly he also has interactions with, of all people, Seraphine (about the only other person that can actually hear them), grumbling about the two voices in his head that ''won't shut up''.
452--> '''Seraphine:''' You should let the voices inside you sing.\
453'''Varus:''' Sing? I can barely stand it when they ''talk''.
454* The Zaun Diva is Serpahine's biggest musical competition, and makes sure to bar her from her performances and discredits her at every turn. And even ''she'' can't help hum one of her songs absentmindedly.
455* Lillia sees [[StarCrossedLovers Diana and Leona]]'s dreams. And she ships them ''[[ShipperOnDeck hard]]''.
456--> '''Leona:''' Chosen of the sun.\
457'''Lillia:''' And beloved of the moon.
458[[/folder]]
459
460[[folder:Cinematics and Other Content]]
461* In the [[https://youtu.be/lCjlFAefDnI Rise of the Underworlds]] teaser trailer, two Black Rose members are discussing a shipment of devices in a Zaun bar, with one of them assuring the other that the transport of the crystals and devices are taken care of. We [[GilliganCut cut]] the shipment of crystals in Shurima, where the man transporting the crystals is attacked by Rek’Sai and the pirate crew hired for the devices is wiped out by Pyke. The punchline, Ekko shows up in the bar, slows down time, and drops a chandelier on them and their guards. And to rub salt in the wound he mocks them with a line they said earlier in their conversation.
462->'''Ekko''': Pity. Such power wasted on such ignorant minds.
463* The official Korean ''Legends of Runeterra'' [=YouTube=] account periodically releases patch rundown videos, and as a fun twist are each narrated by a different champion, providing an in-character explanation of the upcoming changes[[note]]The videos are obviously in Korean, but do have English closed-captioning[[/note]]. However, someone made the decision for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xl92I-6TjI the patch 2.13 rundown]] to be narrated by ''Rek'Sai'', [[TheUnintelligible which naturally poses... complications.]]
464-->'''[[FunWithSubtitles English Subtitles]]''': That's it for this patch [[SssssnakeTalk notesss]]. I read your comments wanting meee to do the patch highlights. So here I ammmrrrgh
465* You can practically make your own cinematic in the game by playing a Shuriman Sun-disk deck and chaining level-up animations. It's known as the 'Shuriman movie/Shuriman cut' to the community, and if you get the champions to trigger in the right order, they [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall seem to be in on it]].
466-->'''Azir:''' Tell the people what you have seen today!
467-->'''Nasus:''' [[OverlyLongGag The expanse of eternity, stretched out before me]].
