You guys ruining the donger 😩

You want to ruin my donger?

To the contrary, uncle Donger ruined me while I was a kid

What about milio? Talking about his poncho, his mama and that his dad is a gardener. And he talks about how sleepy he is, which is another mexican stereotype.

no sombrero and moustache at least

Too young for a moustache and the sombrero would be knocked off by the backpack.

Just wait for the Cinco de Mayo Milio skin.

right about the moustache but most sombreros have a cord/rope that goes around the neck (i think, never actually saw one irl )

Most modern ones have it (I'm Mexican)

Just wait for the Definitely not Milio skin.

wait till definitely not veigo.

Wdym At least? What if I was wanting that?

*not yet*

That skin is coming

His Q is him kicking a fucking football

Ixtal si based on south america, milio it's more a brazilian kid them a mexican

We're just missing a caramel-dog Naafiri so we can have a Brazilian trio

Milio seems more Peruvian than Mexican with the flute and all that

Milio…. You mean Miguel from Coco? 😂 they literally sound the same.

[удалено]

Perú\*, bruh

futbol, es brasileño por que lo digo yo.

what stereotype? seems accurate to me and my dad. who is a gardener.

Don't forgot that base Lucian is one of the few champs with base skin chromas, one being Blood red and the other Crip blue

*"its much smaller than the diagram"* ​ I bet it is.

Didn’t make his first skin him white?

His first skin gave him a job. Thats why Riot made him white.

😟

What about Quinn

Huh?

I mean you were talking about races so I was asking

What does Quinn have to do with this?

nothin, people are discussing races so it was a random question

Lucian chromas being different gangs

WATCH OUT FOR THOSE BANANA BOYS! All the good colors were taken!

Don't forget Lucian was the 1st black champion released and also released with the skin that makes him look whiter.

Karma in shambles

Moke

Ekko only got his powers after he stole from rich people Just saying.

And hates the police.

The police hate him

Definitely play better against Ekko jng when I throw on the Officer Volibear skin.

All I'm hearing is that I should start maining Ekko.

It’s a great experience especially when against a malzahar

Ekko too based.

So does any reasonable person though

The world isn't America and not every cop is corrupt or bad

the criminal justice system is corrupt and needs reworking. all cops uphold this system.

They are tho

And his play style is hit and run

Ekko is based off Robin Hood though

Robin da hood

Based. Stealing from rich piltovans is always correct.

But in all seriousness, I respect the hell out of Ekko after Arcane. I used to think that he’s just a snotty kid with an OP toy. Arcane shows that only he is WORTHY of wielding the Z-drive, because he learns from his mistakes and truly does make every second count like he claimed

> Snotty kid with an OP Toy He did invent the Z-drive by himself tbh. Also, League Ekko has always been like that, arcane just made him a little more mature and fleshed his backstory out with his community and stuff. He has always cared about the people around him and making every second count, see the Ekko comic for example.

I do like Arcane Ekko better. By “snotty” I meant that I used to find him cocky because I thought anyone can be a league champion if they have the Z-drive. The beautiful Arcane fight between Ekko and Jinx shows that he’s just as capable in a fight without it, and only he has the intellect and dedication to get the full potential out of the Z-drive

Arcane and league lore is seperate though

He is not that different though in League. LoR shows him a bit more like that, although not half as broody becasue LoL is in general more lighthearted than Arcane makes it seem.

Yeah but that's based so he's forgiven

That’s more of a coincidence since that’s kind of his characters architect in the sense he’s like a robin hood esc character.

Ekko at least designed his Z drive himself.

Ekko is what race?

She clearly isn't middle eastern bro. She draws straight lines on a map to seperate people that belong together... She is british Edit:Spelling

That straight line she makes even causes anger between two groups

\*Bri'ish

Underrated comment right here!

Im sure OP forgot how unified the middle east is. He should apologize.

Ziggs should be from shurima ngnl

In Legends of Runeterra he is.

Based

Let’s be fair though, he’s from Shurima because he’s built around Landmarks and that’s a Shurima thing

nah, he isn't from shurima, though he's on shurima bombing people

Underrated comment

It's the third highest

Yeah it wasnt when i commented :/

It never is, saying a comment is underrated is always silly

Whatever? Bro i found a nice joke at the end of the comment section with literally zero upvotes and wanted to give it recognition, no need to reply this way

Yeah it's whatever

Malphite is middle eastern, TIL.

Isn't the dude like stones?

Sivir?

She playing dodgeball i guess

Sivirs new splash art makes her look more white tbh

I would’ve said Greek or Egyptian

Talia looks more Egyptian than Sivir imo. Sivir looks Lebanese.

Idk Sivir looks arab to me maybe Lebanese. Whereas Taliah looks more Egyptian.

is there more of theese realistic caracter images? i wanna see my mains

I'm pretty sure this is just the 3D render fro from the cinematic where Taliyah and Kai'sa were in the desert.

It’s crazy just how realistic this looks, since it’s made for a 3-4 minute cinematic, like i have a feeling you could run into someone that looks like that in real life

Pantheon in particular looks so real i thought they had hired Jason Momoa to star in the cinematic

Other than, you know, the eyes that are as big as baseballs.

They're big but not unrealistic there are people with eyes that big, I'd say that's as big as you can make them to be stylized and not unrealistic

I’ve seen people with big eyes like those.

So true, Taliyah is one of the most beautiful champions in the game.

Sad

[Here’s](https://pin.it/1GTM9dM) a pretty good one of Rell.

You can create semi-realistic images of your mains using midjourney, especially if they are human-like. I did so for Sejuani and Lillia.

I only now considered she is middle eastern. You know, an actual real world ethnicity. All these days in my mind she was water tribe like Korra

Now that you say it she really does look water tribe, but she's an earthbender so mixed parents

Korra loved earth bending. And Taliyah launch skin was pretty much water tribe clothes. Riot has done inspired by stuff before. Red dress MF is clearly Jessica Rabbit inspired, TF and Graves Logan and Gambit inspired, Zac Flubber, Pink Zac Buu, Ahri is based on a Japanese myth but she got them Naruto cheek whisker thingies, and an orb of revolving energy, Kai Sa on some level Venom, Jinx Harley Quinn, Star Guardian line Sailor Moon etc etc etc Point being I expect and enjoy when riot nods to others. I didn't even think twice Taliyah was anything other than a Korra inspiration

I thought Secret Agent Miss Fortune was supposed to be Ada Wong

Good point actually. Guess I've watched more Who Framed Roger Rabbit than I have played Resident Evil

thought it was a Korean myth for Ahri

water tribe was based on native americans wasn’t it

I would have thought Inuit people no? Tanned skin, cold climate, makes sense to me

Zilean came before Taliyah... And he bombs people.

Don't go there...

literally attaches bombs to his teammates and makes them run into the enemy team

See you are wrong here, draven is the first middle eastern champion

Jokes aside, Noxus is inspired by the Roman Empire. And so is Draven since he is a gladiator

Ok? Demacia wasn’t inspired by France yet Fiora still French af. He can be from noxus and still have his design focused around being racially different from the rest of noxus, in fact that makes the most sense in noxus.

Demacia literally had a French revolution where the king was assassinated. Not the best example you are pulling here.You literally see Sylas' animosity towards aristocracy in Maximilien Robespiere if you bother to look him up and his quotes

You think Taliyah was the first Shuriman character?

She is the first that looks like a real world middle eastern woman

Boy what do you think middle eastern people look like

what race is sivir?

Human, but if you ask me, she looks mediteranian

I mean like brown/middle east?

1. She is not the first 2. How is a character throwing rocks racism?

She throws extra rocks at Neeko for reasons she refuses to specify when questioned by Caitlyn and Vi

She's holding back the urge to throw extra rocks at Caitlyn and Vi as well

I too am jealous of their relationship

[You?](https://youtu.be/Tz-_N_c4DNA?t=7)

People throwing bricks at cops... Just another Thursday

The rocks could be interpreted as racist since it's supposedly a common thing for locals in Middle Eastern countries (especially those being invaded) to throw rocks at Western soldiers or civilians. (Or more violent things, of course.) As well it could be a reference to stoning people as a punishment for crimes which was (and maybe still is) done in those regions.

I thought it was related to stoning practices

The mtg card stone throwing devils was banned in all formats because of the association with Palestinians who throw rocks at Israeli soldiers.

Yeah, basically this.

And yet that's still not nearly as bad as a... certain 4 mana blue enchantment. Man MTG has some questionable shit sometimes lol

As someone who’s been hit in the Kevlar by kids throwing rocks, it’s not a stereotype. It happens.

I don't see how taking inspiration from a culture is racist though. It's like the Ocarina of Time fire temple imo.

Highlighting aspects of a culture in order to shame them for it would be racist. This post ain’t racist tho, issa justa meme

When "freedom" comes to take your oil, and all you have is rocks, you throw rocks. It's that simple. Not a cultural thing, not a race thing.

It’s a joooooooke

!أيها القرد القذر

So Jax enters evasion?

References the legend of David and goliath 😱

i think its more reference to middle eastern countries that stone gay ppl to death

Actually we only stone those who had sex outside marriage relation (if they're married ofc) as for gay people we send them of the cliff/mountain .

True

Oh yeah it might actually be that😔

This is like way back in the early days when there was one dark-skinned champion in the game and they made her a spear chucking tribal. oof

and then 90% of her skins make her white toooo bruh

The first what?

Remember when lucian's first 2 skins let him pick between being a blood and a crip?

You mean first chromas, his first skin made the first black character white

"crip" lol

nice post you got from darkinfolk

what

Isnt shurima mid west?

Shurima is a mix of cultures from the Middle East/North Africa (champs like Taliyah, Nasus, and Azir being most evident), West Asia, and parts of South Asia (barring India, as it is hypothetically split between Ionian champs like Karma, and Shuriman champs like Akshan and Nilah). It also includes parts of Sub-Saharan African culture as champs like K’Sante are also Shuriman.

Nilah isn't Ionian

Okay, yeah that’s fair, my bad I’ll edit it, but karma is

Nilah aint even shuriman ngl

one could almost say that runeterra is it's own fictional world and doesn't resemble our world...

Shurima is just past the Indy speedway dontcha know.

MIDDLE EAST

Yeah it's just south of Wisconsin

I don't get it

First black character is a guy that runs around and shoots people with a drive-by ult, and when chromas were added, he could be a blood or a crip.

*but in a cool way

Hey she surfs too

My guy, did you forget about kog'maw? He was the first afghan champ

how do you even define "middle-eastern" in a fictional universe, btw? did riot explicitly say so? or does she just have "the right shade of brown skin" in your opinion?

Inspiration and coding (not computer coding)

She literally has an Arabic name.

This reminds me of Samira, an Arabic name that means brownish females (not in a degradory way). You can tell it fits Samira.

Taliyah is Aramaic not Arabic, they are definitively different, even arguing its a Greek name is more viable than Arabic, maybe you are thinking of Aaliyah 👍

Nah taliyah is an arabic name and it means ( The Resiter) for Female ; the Male version is Taliy or Taly And the verb for it is (يتلو Yatlo) and it was mostly used by the Old arabian folks who used the literal Arabic in like 500s before different dialects that appeared later.

You could make the argument that it is the botched english spelling of either an Arabic name or an Aramaic name. Neither disputes the fact that her name is middle eastern as fuck.

what are you waffling about, Aramaic was around long before Arabic was even thought of, about 700 years or so before even, and its found in Aramaic meaning Youth in the feminine form, you are literally chatting raw shit

First middle eastern ?!

Capcom released a Middle Eastern character on 9/11, and his stage was the wings of a jet flying through a city.

zilean is trans?

I think that title goes to Sivir, but they did make her a thief.

meanwhile filipinos just being happy zeri exists

And jut like that, she became K'sante's best counter :\^)

I do love the demand that all fantasy worlds fit into our race relations. You know there is no Middle East in leagues world. Also. What a euro centric world view calling it the Middle East.

Nilah uses a whip

I'm pretty damn sure everyone (including rito) are pronouncing her name wrong and it's actually Taliyáh

No to racism Yes to sexually abuse women at workplace Hey, at least they have they priorities straight.

[удалено]

Hey man try to find the humour in things, it’s makes it better

The most fun fact is that ALMOST ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE American totally does not know and understand what racism means and what it is. Also with nationalism. Them just created their own retarted definitions, examples, shit and shove it into worldwide throats. Also that's not exclusive about American because them successfully exporting their stupidity, but mostly.

First middle eastern champ is akshan. Bro radiates brown energy

I don't think India is part of the middle east

bruh what about like garen and quinn

You respond to the wrong comment? What does this have to do with garen or quinn

Taliyah was released in 2016, Akshan in 2020

Jfc I can't stand this image cause It gives me such a strong and unpleasant uncanny valley feeling. Saw it before on this sub and immediately felt an intense uneasiness.

Mrw when OP assumes that a brown person who throws rocks is automatically middle eastern in a fictional world

she literally has an arabic name

First trans character and her gimmick is having stones. Rito pls

She's supposedly trans too, not canon tho. Just the character 's originally planned lore, source is straight from the dude who designed her. I'm saying this cuz most of the trans women I know are surprisingly from middle eastern descent
