Lore

"Once honored defenders of Shurima against the Void, Aatrox and his brethren would eventually become an even greater threat to Runeterra, and were defeated only by cunning mortal sorcery. But after centuries of imprisonment, Aatrox was the first to find freedom once more, corrupting and transforming those foolish enough to try and wield the magical weapon that contained his essence. Now, with stolen flesh, he walks Runeterra in a brutal approximation of his previous form, seeking an apocalyptic and long overdue vengeance."

New Summoner Icons

Icon/Wards Collections



Riot Mort with a

"Hello everyone! Riot Mort here with a long desired feature finally coming to League. In Collection, we’ve added tabs for Summoner Icons and Ward Skins! Yes, you can finally see your Ward Skin collection from outside Champ Select. We’ve added some key features into these collections that we’d love some feedback on. -Descriptions - When you mouse over an icon or ward, it should tell you where it came from or how it was acquired.

-Sorting - From sets to alphabetical to release date, you can sort these collections in a variety of ways.

-View Unowned - You can take a look at all the existing icons/wards you don’t have, and even look into League’s history. But probably the biggest new feature here is rarity. Now icons and wards have been assigned a rarity based on how difficult to acquire they were. -Ultimate (Orange) - The rarest tier. For extremely difficult accomplishments or exclusive participation.

-Mythic (Purple) - Icons that took a lot of effort to achieve, or show a high level of time commitment or skill.

-Epic (Blue) - Icons that came as part of a limited time bundle, or showing high participation/skill.

-Rare (Green) - Legacy icons, bundled icons, event participation, eSports event icons, and other skill/participation icons.

-Normal (No color) - Purchased, given, eSports, or participation. Which icons/wards are in each category is purposely left to be fluid and open to interpretation. However we really want feedback on this, so if you feel a specific icon isn’t in the right category or something else just doesn’t feel right, let us know. We think this feature is important moving forward, and we want to get it right for you guys. Thanks everyone. And have fun on PBE!"



VS Event Strings God-King Darius and Garen are part of VS 2018 event, following Riven Vs Yasuo from 2017. Below are numerous Game Start Up tips revealing details on the upcoming event including mention of mission lines, event exclusive rewards, ARURF, a "war-torn Rift embellished with tributes to the two God-Kings", and more.



"My kingdom stands eternal." —God-King Garen

So God-King Garen proclaims to all, so shall the law be. His justice is absolute.

The celestial lion that serves God-King Garen is a manifestation of his ancient power.

God-King Garen oversees the utopian kingdom known as Demacia. Those who dissent are met with immediate execution.

The God-King of Demacia oversees his people as protector and judge. To his worshippers, there is a small price for peace: their free will.

"Pledge everlasting fealty to the true God-King, and you shall fear nothing within His empire." —Garen 13:14

"Our faith is our shield, and I am our faith." —God-King Garen

The last remaining threat to God-King Garen's vision for his perfect empire is the forsaken God-King Darius.

God-King Garen's divine wrath is boundless. He has wiped great empires from the face of the planet for defying him.

Garen's Blade of Divine Justice is an artifact from an ancient war, wielded by the God-King to judge the unworthy.

"I'm not a savior. I'm an executioner." —God-King Darius

So God-King Darius thirsts for bloodshed, so shall war unfold. His will is indomitable.

The wolf spirit that follows God-King Darius is a manifestation of his untamed might.

God-King Darius leads a vicious pack of warriors, hungry for conflict and the glory of proving one's strength.

God-King Darius will be consumed by the very war he envisions, and awaits the day his warriors grow strong enough to destroy him.

Entire kingdoms have been torn down by God-King Darius's hands. No being is beyond his reach, not even the gods.

"My howl heralds war, and death." —God-King Darius

The last obstacle standing in the way of God-King Darius' vision for a world of endless war is God-King Garen.

God-King Darius believes that a world of kingdoms and empires is a false reality, and beckons a true one indulging the violence in the hearts of men.

Darius's nameless axe is an artifact from an ancient war, wielded by the God-King to usher in an age of unending brutality.
