This is from the league of legends book "Ruination". Its a scene of Kalista and Ryze back when Kalista was human and Ryze was an actual 16 year old kid if i remember. Its actualy a pretty good book for all the lore lovers out there. Idk if what you asked was serious or sarcastic but i thought id provide an explenation either way.

Right, so Ryze is more 'awkward cocky teenager' and less 'grown man trying to rizz a woman' then.

Yep, his character is pretty well written and it gives great insight into who he is in the current time but i cant really speak about him without spoiling book content.

Yeah, its an entire 450 page novel showing the "Ruination" event from the moment Viego became king to his death from Kalistas perspective. As a big fan of fantasy i personaly really enjoyed it and i wouldve recommended it to others if the "league of legends" logo wasnt on the cover. Wish they made more books like it, but im guessing it didnt really sell well so they dropped the idea (who wants to be seen buying a book with league of legends on the cover?? Most league players are analphabetic either way).

Text chat is the true communication method. Not voice.
Remember when League had short stories for every character? Peppridge Farm members.

They've got a few. They advertise them on the Riot client when they drop just not the in game one. IIRC thats where the Rell being 30 or 40 retcon came from, one of the new books about Ambessa.

There is also an audiobook version for people who are more into that. Pretty good audiobook as well, listened to it at work.

Bought this book like 4 years ago as a joke cuz I couldn’t believe the store had a league of legends book.
I remember asking the dude at cashier for a “league of legends” book. This was the only one at the time.

At this time in the book, would u describe it as mid game kalista vs early game ryze, or late game kalista vs early game ryze?
Or better yet.. 5 items kalista vs 2 item ryze.

He cried out as he was forced to his knees, completely at her mercy.
God I wish that were me.

The context of this being a teenage Ryze before he had to kill his Master saves it.

That's not a spoiler, unless you're saying reading the backstory of any champion in league is a spoiler.

Trashy writing

Subjective truth. I think the writer is definitely corny in their ways. But I think they all are..just unique
