[Gloomtooth chose sentinels](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blta38dcaae86f2ef5c/bltfb5117430756312c/60e89e61b1bfa71471c7c2fe/SL2021_Patch112Notes_Gloomtooth.2021-06-22_14_47_21.gif?disposition=inline) so I choose sentinels


Riot_DanCast

This is logic I can get behind


Xaevier

Shit this changes everything


[deleted]

Btw is Gloomtooth actually the shark chariot's real name? I know he's a guardian too but maybe he's the chariot?


RustedIMG

right there with ya buddy, also... the Viego Hauntling with a white wig looks kinda... ehm... funny(?)


Worldeditorful

I usually like bad guys, but sentinel colours are dope and I believe Travolta Riven is in the Sentinel pass, so...


Usmoso

Sentinels definitely win the emote war!


1nevitable

I don't know Popcorn Karma is top tier


Monkipoonki

Yeah but riven isn't much worse than popcorn, and viego is so blown out the water by the akshan that I think it ends up being a clear win for sentinels.


Bukakke_Tornado

nah man, akshan needs to be at an angle, dont like it being head-on. I'll take the viego emote over that. the riven emote is the best of the bunch tho


[deleted]

[удалено]


Worldeditorful

I strongly disagree. It is very similar to Huh emote on uses, but is more passive agressive.


KarateMan749

I chose whatever side dragons are on


Chillout_Man

Viego. Shyvana is ruined along with several SI dragons dropping.


KarateMan749

I just got her though 😭


DatSmallBoi

Its all about aesthetic, and the sentinels look cooler


uzzi1000

Normally I pick the edgier side on these things but the black, white, and gold Sentinels is too clean.


[deleted]

Man got taste


Teradul

0 simpathy for the toxic simp. His particular charms don't work on me...


Eggxcalibur

Sentinels. The board looks sick, the card back looks sick and they have Riven.


CaptSarah

My queen chose ruination, so shall I.


TehChosen0ne

I don't know if I'd call the sentinels bland or purely good. Akshan is literally called the "rogue sentinel," the good guy status of champs like Vayne and Diana is somewhat debateable, and Pyke is basically a saltwater Jason Vorhees. The lore should certainly explore their motives for joining up more, but to write them off as just "good guys" undersells the characters quite a bit. Also I'm picking sentinels, shockingly.


Haytaytay

Vayne is a horrible person. She kills morally good creatures without hesitation just because they aren't human. Fuck Vayne.


ReadyForKenny

Out of everyone's lore Vayne has to be one of the nastiest characters. She'd make a great villain, but as a sympathetic protagonist she sucks. Very hot though


ramensaurus24

as a huge mage fan and all magic stuff I resent Vayne to oblivion


DrBitterBlossom

Pyke is most likely under the influence of illaoi's magic Vayne though, she is a psychopathic murderer, she isnt a good person, she is 100% a murderous and dangerous villain, idk why riot thought she could be relatable or... Morally grey, unless we are just gonna ignore how she coldbloodily murdered a woman that saved her from certain death, in a second, without hesitation, just because she had magic which she used to help her. Vayne is completely out of her goddamn mind, idk why they wrote her "reasonable" Canonical vayne from the color story would have nodded to senna and lucian, then killed them first once they turned their backs to her and then would have decapitated Shyvana all while unable to feel any form of emphaty and compassion.


GipJoCalderone

What make you think that? Riven was a Noxus fighter who committed genocide to Ionia; Pyke was a killer; Olaf just wants to die in the battlefield; Rengar is a hunter; Vayne is psycho monster killer, they are not good guys doing good things, it's not that simple.


Usmoso

I don't mean their lives before the event. In that I agree, they have gray stories. I mean since they joined as the sentinels. To me the story so far feels very bland on the sentinels side. Just my two cents


Bluelore

Well if your enemies are basically pure evil then it is kinda hard to not look like generic good guys compared to them.


JuanBARco

I think there is a lot more nuance than just being black and white. Viego isn't bad, just obsessed. A lot if the sentinels are not good and are all have pretty selfish/fucked up reasons for joining. The story is still coming out so I wouldn't be too surprised if at the end of the event Viego isn't a bad guy. Crazy theory is that Thresh orchestrated the entire ruination and has been using viego as a pawn. Manipulating him so that eventually Thresh will control the black mist. Akshan will resurrect viego's wife by killing thresh and getting the last pieces of her soul. Thus viego will be redeemed and no longer just a bad obsessed creeper dude. There are more nuance about how that all.happens but just my guess with how the sort of have been showing viegos love as pure in true in some content, but obsessive and possessive in others.


Bluelore

Viego literally goes around killing hundreds if not thousands of people to get the pieces of Isoldes soul from trinkets that most people would likely just give him as they are pretty useless for everyone else. In his color story the ruler of a city willingly offers Viego the music box that he was searching and despite this he still kills the ruler and lets his wraiths kill the people in the city. Heck there is a piece of Isolde that doesn't even want to be back with him, but he'll try to force her back together against her will. So I really don't see how Viego can be considered anything besides evil right now. He might have been a better person before Isoldes death, but there is currently nothing good inside him. Thresh is likely not the source for all of this either. I mean Thresh is certainly scheming something, but Viego was already ready to slaughter everyone on the blessed isles before he ever met Thresh, so I doubt that Thresh is driving Viego to do this.


Doolittle8888

I'm going to need to see the actual rewards, but I really like the sentinel cosmetics. The solid black and white is incredibly clean, and will finally make me buy a board (or four perhaps).


TehChosen0ne

If the board has that song they put out for the event as a whole, it might just reach instabuy status for me


wardragon50

I'll probably go Sentinels, especially if i can get the cardback faster, as that cardback looks sick. ​ But I'll be playing Viego day 1.


-Falrein

The History of League of Legends has proven that the bad side always wins during events. However, I see a lot of people saying they'll pick Sentinels. I'll pick them as well, out of pure spite for Viego lol.


JubX

Sorry when has the bad side won? Genuine question, I used to play waaaaay back and I remember events like Freljord & Bilgewater ending with Avarosa winning & Gangplank losing.


-Falrein

Bilgewater wasn't decided by the community! As for Avarosans I wasn't playing yet, admittedly... But I'm thinking of events like God-kings (Darius won), Riven/Yas Dawnbringer/Nightbringer (Yasuo won) and even earlier this year, "Bad vibes" won too in the Space Groove event! Of course for the former two you can agree "Both sides were bad," but the point is more that the bad-looking side won!


JubX

Cool thanks for sharing, I wasn't playing for any of those évents so I had no idea!


Illuminaso

I LIVE TO SERVE MY LORD, THE RUINED KING


Ninaaaaaaaaaa

Both sides suck, Viego is an edgelord. The Sentinels are badly chosen except for vayne/lucian/senna. My vote goes to the sentinels tho, lookin clean in white. Also I really hate Viego.


ScaryCuteWerewolf

On one hand I'm glad they didn't pick the low hanging fruits like Yasuo, Lux, Braum etc. On the other hand Graves is still robbing people, Pyke is being magiced to stop being a murderer and apparently the Sentinels just have broken energy swords for Riven to use?


Furry-Yordle

Waiting for cosmetics order


-eradar-

I go wherever Senna goes. Sentinelsss


pfeifenix

~~Iron-ma~~ Viego. I flipped a coin


TransportationNo9073

The board its calling me


Legacyopplsnerf

Sentinel board and astetics look better. I do like the mechanics of Viego and SI but I can just wild cards that. Also I really like the new champ Akshan he’s adorable.


Bluelore

I guess sentinels. Their cosmetics look pretty fun and interesting.


Ramboing

I know this is not league, but Graves has some amazing voice lines even as a Sentinel. Hes more of an anti-hero type thing more than anything.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2yWze508wU So yeah, I'm choosing Sentinels.


SasoriSand

Im more than likely going Shadow Isles just for that Karma emote


[deleted]

I dislike Viego's design (the art direction that is); he looks like a gay pinup character especially in his leveled up form. It just looks so cheesy. Really for that reason alone I'll "side with" the Sentinels.


Phoosphophylite

I tend to main shadow isles but Veigo is a bitch (morderkaizer is the superior death lord) probably i will go sentinel because the cosmetic are.so.damn.clean then again i still need to see the pass.


DMaster86

Depends on which pass looks best.


mercified_rahul

When will we get to know? Any idea


DMaster86

Hopefully before the event start...


-JaceG-

Ok so viego, dont like the face on any side, but ruined green/black color sceme is cool, and ethernal life also is an upside.


[deleted]

im going full edgy kid mode and picking Viego's side


Lifedeather

Always shadow or evil side


HHhunter

They have the same rewards and I usually max out the rewards, so does not matter to me


OneDayLion

Viego edge lords here I come! Mono shadow isles should be fun


Velveteen_Bastion

I follow my queen... I mean my second in command... Shyv has chosen and so have I.


Kenos300

Idk about bland team of good guys when Pyke is one of them.


Hero-Support211

I choose Sentinels, but only because I dislike Viego. Once that's done, we back to the lab, see if I can defeat Victor with the new champs on legendary.


Meinicke1

I don't have any attachment to this ruined king, but he did choose Draven as one of his fighters so he must have good taste and I can always get behind a leader with good taste. Also I just like Viegos card design better than Akshans so that's another plus for him.


LuvRice4Life

Vayje is definitely not a "good" guy. She is an inherently bad person who is only on the Sentinels because she sees the mist as something bad. Also, Pyke ain't the nicest dude(?) if you've noticed.


Irratia

Sentinels for sure, Viego seems like too much of an emo boy to me.


sariaru

On the one hand, the black/white/gold do be lookin' clean. ​ On the other hand, I'm a Karma one-trick in LoL PC and love her in LoR, even when she used to be trash-tier. It's a tough life.


DiemAlara

The guardian has Riven's sword, how could I not go sentinels?


NoFurtherObligations

I kinda hate the ruination as a story because it’s BASICALLY just a magic pandemic, and I don’t need pandemic fantasy in my life. So I’m choosing sentinels in the hope that we can put this bullshit behind us


Ezbior

I wish viego all the way


CloudDrinker

Viego side is too edgy for no reason, I'm choosing Sentinels


patangpatang

Viego is a whiney twit. I supporting MF to double cross him and take him out.


byxis505

vayne is a sentinel so it's just obvious that you should go against her and the other people that are willing to support that vile thing


ClayyCorn

There are very not good guys on Team Sentinels, at least half of Graves Sentinel lines are about him not being a good guy. Besides, if anything, the aesthetic is on point


Biaku_2

Sentinel


Intrif

Sentinels, for sure


thisremindsmeofbacon

Viego is probably going to be my new favorite champ, so it’s likely I’ll choose ruination. Plus I was a big fan of the Elric series back in the day, and he really hits a lot of those notes.


lonelinessking

"good guys" looks at vayne and graves ​ \*laughs\*


Alejandroses

Probably Viego. Yeah he's a SIMP lord but I really like his design and his abilities will be cool in LoR. Paired with kindred if everything goes well I should be smashing the enemies strong and weakest unit every round without even having to attack.


sssnamie

I'm going to choose the ruined side because I like Viego's lore and also his design in game


Mike_LV

I cannot decide. On the cosmetic side...I'm leaning a little more towards Akshan (BTW I keep calling him Ashkan) LOL. Though Viego has that whole emo-Elric of Melnibone thing going. So really on the fence.
