wowww, gorgeous

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@Necrit94 hahaha, we were actually keenly aware of this! the vibe of what happens in a trailer and the audience each piece is likely to reach are different. we did imagine that Vayne collapsed right after and was trying to put on a brave face, but we only have so much real estate

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@Spideraxe30 Vayne has never been shown willingly causing harm to a wild animal. possessed Vayne? well, maybe if she thought it was a monster in a moment of sheer paranoia... but I wager poros of any softness have very non-threatening auras

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@Spideraxe30 poro* even

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@Spideraxe30 are you saying you think Vayne would hurt the Ultrasoft Poor on a regular day?!

[Spideraxe @Spideraxe30]

Now that the Locke comic is out here are the narrative credits for both of season 2.
- What We Face (Vayne) was written by @DinwiddieTaylor
- What We Fear (Locke) was written by Riot KneecapPhilly, this one of his last major projects at Riot
- Both edited by Molly Mahan

@ttwisted35 whoops, this is a typo! thanks for pointing this out, we'll get that updated. it should be Brookhollow.

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@teememdee thank you 🥰 had a lot of fun writing this one~

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@Spideraxe30 hahaha these questions are fun, but we generally wanna refrain from answering headcanon questions (or else someone will screenshot my reply and take it as canon for all of time!) we'll have to wait 'til we see them sit down and eat someday :P

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@zeribug he does say "Nailed it." as one of his kill lines!! for some, one pun is too much, and for others, you can never have too many ;D

The moment I saw Locke
I knew I had to make this emote!

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@Spideraxe30 can't speak to her exact age, but she has definitely trained with Frey by this point. she didn't know how to fight until Frey taught her

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@Spideraxe30 great question! LoR to LoL have lots of different constraints and considerations from a VO design POV. biggest learning was that LoL generally asks our champs to be a lot more active, because of the gameplay feel, so Vayne needs to feel a lot more aggro and intense in League

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@Spideraxe30 we did have a specific type of demon in mind, but confirming it removes the fun of speculating! I'd ask you or anyone who sees Vayne in that moment: what do you think she was feeling, deep down, when that demon said what it did about her parents? (was it true, or a cruel lie?)

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@ErrorPingouin I'm ecstatic to see all the thoughts people have about him. lots of love, lots of thoughtful critique that I'm absorbing for all of the stuff we're working on the future. it's interesting to see people speculate, and I'm eager to see what people think of him once they know more!

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@ErrorPingouin I think the team did a great job leaning into the tropes that resonate with people in a fun and familiar, while carving out unique flavors that make him part of Runeterra

[Meaghan Ramesh @RiotLittleLeaf]

@RiotLittleLeaf Were any lessons you learned from working on her LoR self that you wanted to apply to this skin?
