I like how she didn't leave the room until she restyled her hair.
Gwen actually tailors their outfits and gives them haircuts.

We better get an 'Avengers Assemble' moment.
You will assemble the Sentinels yourself in the meta-game system that is part of the event. Go check it out :)
So is he from somewhere not on the map like Viego? Because I don't think we've seen a South Asia inspired place in all of Shurima and Valoran.
He was born and raised in Shurima so he’s Shuriman himself. His ancestors were originally from somewhere else, yes
Boss I am not sure if this question is out of place or not but from the outside looking in, it is something that is worth asking.
- When creating a new champion does the gameplay come first or the type of representation it is going to fulfill?
A follow up actually, what is the unique gameplay Akshan introduces to League? He doesn't have anything like Grit which is completely new for example.
His grappling hook provides a very unique input when playing as him and his revive is a very unique output that causes u to play against him differently (like not letting Akshan get vengeance) combined those 2 things create a very unique champion. A champion does not require a unique keyword To be unique
Small detail, but he's noted to be inspired by South Asian aesthetics and Bollywood in particular while being originally from Shurima. I always say Shurima as an Egypt or Middle East analogue mostly. Is it just an aesthetic thing for Akshan?
Just because a Champion currently resides in a specific region doesn’t mean their entire family line was native to that region. People travel around Runterra and end up in other regions and also start families outside thier native region
wait...they literally named this guy action?
ugh.
double ugh that i just figured it out now.
It’s actually pronounced Ack-Sean
How very vexing…
Indian, specifically, unless I miss my guess?
yes
The Indian flag is... subtle 😂
Also may I ask, with the new SoL skins being "canon" does that mean we should assume the designs to be their new "canon" ones?
Because no offence to skins team but I really, really do not want that to be the case. A lot of them would be major downgrades from their current classic designs.
I think u will have to play the event to understand all that, don't worry it isn't too much longer
Can i bother you for a his B/D again, now that the initial hype has gone down
Hey so I know this might be trivial, but as a South Asian man, I'm actually very happy for the representation. It might seem very stupid to think about this in a video game, but it really means a lot.
thx! And it's not stupid, I think it means a lot to a lot of people actually.
I think he’s technically from Ixtal but it’s a tiny distinction.
He’s not. He’s South Asian inspired not Latin
True, but it is a bit weird that an undead spirit of vengeance is helping the living.
Or is Pyke no longer undead vin diesel's version of Nautilus's backstory?
U will have to play through the event to find out ;)
I love how his name is a homophone for "action"
Lights, Cameras, Akshan!
I don't know if this event is as big as Spirit Blossom by this video.
We haven’t revealed everything yet ;)
So I guess the Udyr blog got delayed?
Yeah I was wrong, it’s next week
Girlboss confirmed.
Also, I wonder if she'll constantly have to keep Irelia from snapping at Riven just for being Noxian, despite Riven really wanting to be an Ionian =P
Oh they get snappy ;)
Are you able to share how long ago you began thinking about this, since this seems like a lot of time and effort
It was about a year a half ago that me and Latency from Riot Forge starting discussions around this
Are you the product lead for this event like you were for Spirit Blossom
I am the creative lead for ruination campaign which includes this event, yes
Was that meant to be an attempt at a #girlpower moment? 😂
Not really, just meant to clarify informs
