I really hope they won't lukewarm the entire pvz conflict, compared to game lore the economic structures and nature of oppression in arcane are less defined (that's how you get the piltover did nothing wrong brilliant takes from people) then in the game lore. Like in game lore zaun was literally created by the mindless greed of the rich people and they outsourced them the work that created the most pollution.
Piltover was indefensible, and it's still in arcane if you ask me, but it was in a more aperent way.
Not to mention the implications for other characters, not just the oblivious like Camille. Viktor and Jayce are basically different people, where was Renata up until now, and what's up with Blitz? I will be seriously frustrated if they take their creation away from Viktor. (the way they could stole credit for Blitz's creation was another way to show the powerlessness of the people of zaun in piltover too)
Overall I'm really unhappy with this decision and I really don't think this will bring as many new players into the game as they think...
it took a lot of asking but riot finally deigned to discuss the lore of their billion dollar video game franchise
i absolutely called it that riot was going to retcon the Brackern/Hextech connection out of existence, but i didn't call that they'd use Arcane as the excuse to do it with. i thought they'd just quietly retcon it away with the skarner update without offering much explanation.
they say they're going to give seraphine an update to fit the new status of hextech which made me laugh a bit because, like, y'all already retconned her lore to hell and back when it turned out you had severely failed to read the tone of her connection to the brackern and launched her with a story that essentially implies she uses slave labor to be a pop star. I remember fucking marc merrill throwing the writers under the bus on twitter about it like an absolute douchecanoe.
and then, instead of engaging with any of the ways in which seraphine's powers of empathy generation could be incredibly interesting when paired with the brackern narrative that casts them as essentially brutalized victims of colonization for Piltover profit, you just go "uuuuuh, no, wait, she can't hear the brackern actually ha ha ha whoopsie doopsie." like, literally just nerfing her powers, but doing nothing to alleviate the horrible implications. "oh yeah, no, she still uses the enslaved soul of a brutalized species to power her platform, but now she doesn't know she's doing that, which I think we can all agree means the problem is solved."
hopefully they actually give her a new story that engages with her abilities beyond just "she is good at being a pop star" - building on the LoR version of the character, I would hope - but I fear it's more likely they just do the minimum viable edit and just find-delete any reference to consciousness in hex-crystals.
as for skarner himself, well he's Ixtali now so they'll probably still square him up against piltover's colonizing incursions into Ixtal, but more in a "primordial protector of the natural world" kind of way than "lone avenger reclaiming his people's stolen bodies." which, y'know, okay, sure, why not, but I would very much like him to have a more compelling character motivation than "preserve the status quo because nature and balance or something."
my big fear is they'll use the update as an opportunity to make camille a good guy or more sympathetic. like, house ferros made its fortune by selling the souls of a sentient species as batteries, knowingly, and camille was a ideologically committed defender of that decision, and that made her an interesting villain. but they've been humanizing the living hell out of her and i am real worried they're just going to tip straight on over into "oh no the authoritarian enforcer for the bourgeois power structure is sympathetic actually, she's really nice once you get to know her, she's just misguided" and ffffffffff
just... please let camille be evil. let her be a villain, please for the love of god
Y’all want them to be each other, I want them to fuck each other, we are not the same.
FANFIC WRITER HEAR A SISTA OUT RQ :D
so we got a nice like group of uh... Silco, Sevika, and Renata
Prompt is?
Reader (or whoever) is working for Silco/Renata and meets the other (any of the three) at a meeting
And then boom! Y'all can take it from there cuz I can already guess what half of y'all are thinking at this point 💀
bestieee 🥺 could you draw renata glasc picking her s.o. up? 👉🏻👈🏻💗
THIS TOOKSO LONG IM SO SORRY but this was so fun to do 💕
A quick interaction I just had the good luck to witness:
I was at the selection screen, my Warwicl already confirmed, when it was my ADC's turn to choose. He chose Jhin, and everything was normal until then, until the enemy chose this demon (just kidding, I play with her too) named Renata Glasc.
Our support was the last only to choose, and he wasted the entire selection time switching from Senna to Jaana. Then, in the last second, he confirms this little man here
Tô those who don't know, Rammus makes ADCs suffer all around the word, with their own normal attacks, by reflecting their damage.
So, as you can imagine, our adc went a bit crazy because there he was, a Jhin doomed to play side by side with Rammus, the sworn enemy of all adcs
Our Rammus support simply writes "if Renata ult us, I won't be the one dying"
He literally choose Rammus so he could kill Jhin
