One theory i read in the comments was that Raum is currently under LeBlanc's control, so she is the one who snacthed Jayce's gemstone with the raven.
Which actually makes more sense than it being Swain, since Swain is never even mentioned in Arcane, whereas LeBlanc, while not named, is an active participant in the events(as "the Sorceress").
So perhaps the principles came first, and Swain adapting a ruling triumvirate after them later.
I've barely played League in my life btw, i just like diving into lore .

90% sure the Sorceress is not Leblanc just a black rose mage of some kind working on LeBlanc's behalf sure but thats it. Also playing the game matters 0 for understanding the lore (for runeterra anywway) so your good there.

Swain is never shown at all in fact, including the new trailer(unless I've missed it). I'll assume they deliberately do not mention him, so anything is possible.

Game's lore is infinitely more entertaining than the game. I play it because it's one of the few things me and my friends can do together.

Hell is could be Raum himself why not. though ill b super mad if they either don't show swain's ascendancy. or worse pull another Viktor just to be unique. seriously im a swain and Viktor player don't fuck mee twice.

What i'm genuinely concerned for is them making Mel the key player and Swain&Darius just tag-alongs, given the trajectory of her character in Arcane S2(i really liked her in S1, too, fuck).


Nope, no mention of him there.
I always saw Swain as sorta-kinda Stalin of Runeterra, if you're trying to create a cinematic universe, a character this impactful has to be handled with great care.

Swain is complex as most characters who are evil for "the greater good" and not deluded are. countless warcrimes on the scale of the most vicious leaders of history no shame and no straying from his chosen path no matter how much suffering it brings him or others similar to Silco.

Hes also smarter more cunning and ruthless then most of the league cast combined its no surprised that in a triumvirate he has all the power hes also thee guy who set into motion many other stories in leauge. Zed harvesting Vastrayan magic was him indirectly (leading to Xaylah and Rakan to fight) Cassiopea finding artifacts in shurima was also him though Sivir's involvement was chance. (Leading to Azir's reessurection and saving a ton of lives from the Xer'Sai broodmotheer Rek'sai)

and you can probably argue he was responsible for a ton of other stuff ontop of things like the ionian war hs the kindd of person to have his fingers in every pie.


so a great character if written well.

Hes also smarter more cunning

Which presents a fucking problem for a majority of writers. Arcane S1 did a great job writing intelligent characters, Arcane S2...not so much. But none of the characters in Arcane were on Swain's level of strategic thinking.

90% sure the Sorceress is not Leblanc just a black rose mage of some kind working on LeBlanc's behalf sure but thats it.

Possible, this one is entirely unconfirmed, i just saw a lot of speculation and support for that theory.

God damn it my fellow Phasefags. We already lost our L thread in just one week. We couldn't even manage to keep it open.

Truly an L moment there.

Phase L thread closed due to lack of Ls, Hololive and Nijisanji L threads still open.

LeBlanc in the trailer and the Sorceress apparently share the voice actress.

She's also called "The Deceiver", one of the titles of Leblanc by Mel. Leblanc can also shapeshift. This part(E:Anything Noxus related beyond Ambessa) really confused few people I know, who didn't know much League lore. It took me half an hour to explain the relation

"We're gonna win so much you may even get tired of winning, and you'll say ‘Please, please, it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore, Fishman, it's too much.’ And I'll say ‘No it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have to win more' " - Sakana, probably.

not really evidence of much when her whole thing is misleading others including changing or disguising her voice. and that's discounting the "well we already hired her once for a similar role let's give her the whole thing"

though i will at least mention that there's possibility I'm wrong but that also feels like a disservice to leblanc to get bodied so hard by a nobody as if i needed more reason to bee annoyed at S2.

Not a nobody. Black Magical Jesus. Mel's entire arc in S2 is the embodiment of the Chosen One trope executed extremely poorly.

Spoiler: Arcane S2 ending spoilers, i guess, and a small salt mine

You can honestly just start with "wait, if future-Viktor was the one who saved kid-Jayce and gave him the idea to create Hextech, doesn't that create a chicken-or-egg paradox where Viktor has to first ascend via Hextech in order for Jayce to create Hextech" and then end right there, no other reasons needed when the core, fundamental premise of the entire show is completely broken by this reveal.
Yes, i am salty over unnecessary and moronic usage of time-travel by writers who aren't nearly good enough to utilize it effectively, how can you tell?

In my experience playing fighting games, english is widely accepted and sometimes preferred, unless you play something like KOF or MK.

I’ve worked with Brazilians before (in a virtual workspace). My experience with them is that they’re mostly friendly but can be pushy and somewhat reckless at times. May the almighty bless them for the things that they decide to do by themselves first and worry about the consequences later.

Colombians are hardworking and pretty smart guys though. Hope your bosses don’t take advantage of you and you survive a day without being in danger by the cartels.

Mexico what the fuck is up with your country and why is nothing is ever nailed down to the floor. Everything is a continuous flow of changes that leave everyone trying play catch up with your decisions. Make up your damn mind.

Ahem. Apologies for the tangent.

I already mentioned I was in Brazil for a while and the country is too big so cultures and colors change depending on where you are. I mostly agree with that, they got the "nothing in life matters " style of nihilism that allows a carefree lifestyle but that comes with the caveats of lack of responsibility and not taking serious topics, seriously. Very close to venezuelans in that regard.
They're good people and they're not as stupid as they appear. You need a lot of street smarts to survive a corrupt government after all, but I'd say it's a trait most latinos share considering how every country here is fucked to varied degrees.

Mexico is fucked up because the American Dream is right there, so are the cartels and politicians waiting for the perfect opportunity to rob you. Apparently, the south is much more stable but I don't have that much experience with Central/North 'merica.

I recently switched to Firefox as my go to browser.
I got my basics set up, with a CSS I like and all the usual extensions.

From a Opsec kind of view, are there some extensions or scripts I should know about for Firefox?
Or just general QOL improving things?
Also I am looking for a good Screenshot extension that allows some basic image edits in-browser

Semi-related, not sure if this is a normal Firefox thing, but I doubt it:

For some reason, I am missing the channel icon in my embeds when using Firefox. Could be one of the extensions doing that but not quite sure, because from what I can tell, none of them should touch that.
It might seem small, but I use that little information quite a lot when I am on here, to see from who the clip is and whether I like that clipper of for other Vtubers to see if a whole stream gets linked or if its just a clip.

Whats the fucking point of Arcane if i didnt watch Singed using his E with the funny laugh

sometimes it's the tracking prevention not working properly, set it to a less aggressive one or disable it.

good thing it's everything but the players then.

Seriously even at it's worst there's great character designs music and yes lore.

Name me another franchise that can nail children's story nightmare.

League sucks, I don't care about your faggy lore, your faggy gameplay, your faggy pros, your faggy spin-offs, your faggy anime, or your faggy fags.

until they namedrop her as Elise i'm gonna continue to think it's one of Elise's idiot followers who don't seem to get she eats them the spider design looks more like the spider minions from the card games then Elise does from the game or CCG.
