#camille league of legends

[tbposting]

it took a lot of asking but riot finally deigned to discuss the lore of their billion dollar video game franchise

i absolutely called it that riot was going to retcon the Brackern/Hextech connection out of existence, but i didn't call that they'd use Arcane as the excuse to do it with. i thought they'd just quietly retcon it away with the skarner update without offering much explanation.

they say they're going to give seraphine an update to fit the new status of hextech which made me laugh a bit because, like, y'all already retconned her lore to hell and back when it turned out you had severely failed to read the tone of her connection to the brackern and launched her with a story that essentially implies she uses slave labor to be a pop star. I remember fucking marc merrill throwing the writers under the bus on twitter about it like an absolute douchecanoe.

and then, instead of engaging with any of the ways in which seraphine's powers of empathy generation could be incredibly interesting when paired with the brackern narrative that casts them as essentially brutalized victims of colonization for Piltover profit, you just go "uuuuuh, no, wait, she can't hear the brackern actually ha ha ha whoopsie doopsie." like, literally just nerfing her powers, but doing nothing to alleviate the horrible implications. "oh yeah, no, she still uses the enslaved soul of a brutalized species to power her platform, but now she doesn't know she's doing that, which I think we can all agree means the problem is solved."

hopefully they actually give her a new story that engages with her abilities beyond just "she is good at being a pop star" - building on the LoR version of the character, I would hope - but I fear it's more likely they just do the minimum viable edit and just find-delete any reference to consciousness in hex-crystals.

as for skarner himself, well he's Ixtali now so they'll probably still square him up against piltover's colonizing incursions into Ixtal, but more in a "primordial protector of the natural world" kind of way than "lone avenger reclaiming his people's stolen bodies." which, y'know, okay, sure, why not, but I would very much like him to have a more compelling character motivation than "preserve the status quo because nature and balance or something."

my big fear is they'll use the update as an opportunity to make camille a good guy or more sympathetic. like, house ferros made its fortune by selling the souls of a sentient species as batteries, knowingly, and camille was a ideologically committed defender of that decision, and that made her an interesting villain. but they've been humanizing the living hell out of her and i am real worried they're just going to tip straight on over into "oh no the authoritarian enforcer for the bourgeois power structure is sympathetic actually, she's really nice once you get to know her, she's just misguided" and ffffffffff

just... please let camille be evil. let her be a villain, please for the love of god

Okay so, no one will see this but I need to share the theory I have been thinking for A LONG time. I mean maybe I'm just delulu 🥸🥸

We all know already that Vander is supposed to be Warwick, alright, but I was thinking, what if they will show us more of arcane characters as beasts, so here is what I thought.

Benzo might be Urgot, because remember on the start when he "died" for the first cintila user, that yellow haired boy, ekko said that the attack destroyed Benzo's body, so can you see that Urgot has clearly part of his body missing and everything else, and most important, I am almost sure that the guy doin his tattoo/mark is singed

And we know he worked for silco, and maybe after silco death he is trying to do something new, alongside making Vander/Warwick and Benzo's/Urgot, maybe he wants to control them? Idk.👁️

But Cassandra is something that is LIVING in my mind, we know in the end when Jinx attacked the counseling, of course someone died, maybe most of them, but here, maybe Jayce didn't wanted to let Cassandra just go like that, and of course, used his hextec to bring her back to life, or to avoid her death if she was in a critical state. And as we can see that Vander and Benzo's name might have changed when they become a beast, idk maybe Camille is Cassandra new nickname. WHO KNOWS BUT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE TO ME.

I cannot simply not share this delusions of mine😭😭😭😭😭

Alright alright, but consider the following...

This one feels so obvious it might just become canon.

[dustteller]

ok so i know she's an immoral capitalist enforcer who would probably murder people for trying to unionize but have we considered she's got knives for legs? No? Anyone?

Out of the champions that are connected to Piltover and Zaun, I kinda hope we see at least a cameo of Camille, Urgot, and/or Ezreal in Arcane.

No particular reason. I just find them interesting.
