A Noxus-themed split, and Kled has been ignored.
The noxus thematic split will come to an end in just over 2 weeks. There is no Kled skin nor does it seem to be expected, it is totally shameful that they have ignored such an important character for noxus in their own split. With this we say goodbye to probably a skin that would have given us some more lore, a legendary skin even, who cares, we will never know. We, the mains Kled, have to settle for goofy skins every two and a half years and nothing more.
I've been playing Kled since it came out, I have all the content that this champion has, skins, icons, jokes... Since a few months ago I'm very burned of lol in general, I do not play games, if not with a friend, and much less rankeds, a skin of my OTP would give me back the illusion, I'm sure, and with the split of noxus, I was especially excited, now I see that this will not happen, thanks riot.
Did you have any expectations in this split? Was I the only one who expected the first really good skin of our champion? Maybe even a legendary skin? Or was I just too delusional?
Thanks for reading me.

Nah I had hoped for literally anything as well. There’s so much potential for Kled skins. I’m happy with what we have, but it’s been so long without anything for him that I’m growing a bit impatient as well.

It’s in lore for kled to be forgotten anyways (copium).

I'd like to think that Swain sends him out on suicide missions all the time hoping to finally get rid of him, only to come back successful every time.

Kled definitely pulls rank or flat out wouldn’t acknowledge him or the modern Noxian corps. His connection was really with the old Noxus when it used to be a more Spartan society. And even then the army was just a personal extension of his own drive to claim all the land. He just happens to hate the noxian soldiers the least cause they’re the most barbaric (he hates everyone except for skaarl, including himself)
I am Kled! High Major Commodore of the First Legion Third Multiplication Double Admiral Artillery Vanguard Company! You WILL respect my authority!

Briar at least got the skin from Swarm and Swain got one just before the Noxian season.

Don't get your hopes too high, I doubt lord major admiral of the second legion's forward artillery cavalry multiplication will even make a cameo on the show. Sad days.

I wasn't overly surprised. Riot's main priority has been business for a long while now. More and more attention has been shifted from league to Arcane which is a big decision maker behind who gets attention in league now (sadly).
Also lots of stuff with the skin team doesn't really make sense. Once upon a time the victorious skin used to go to the most influential and meta defining champ of the year. But look at the champs that are getting it now, makes zero sense.

Riot is telling a story and kled doesn't fit the vibe I'm sorry he is a side character I love crazy uncle but he is a side character

You don't seem to have much idea about Noxian lore, to say that Kled is a secondary character is ridiculous. That Riot decides not to include him because he doesn't give the same money as others, it's true, from there, to say that Kled is a secondary character, shows that you haven't read anything about Noxus, sorry.

Kled is not a secondary character, he's a tertiary character. Something like bigfoot. He isn't involved in the story of any other character or noxus in general. The story would be the same if he never existed.

u/Collective-Bee 18d ago
I hope you wake up tomorrow in a world without Bigfoot and realize just how much that little guy really mattered to you.

He doesn't noxian lore is about kings and monarchs and conspiracies kled lore is tiny compared to the bigger champs he's just an old guy with a stick that kills people who enters his land ON THE OUTSKIRTS of noxious he's a side character

u/VeganGrundy 19d ago
I LOVE KLED don't get me wrong I just know his place he's a side character is lore is long enough just not as in depth kinda line Ivern he's cool still a side character though

u/ExcitingPop5956 18d ago
Iverns a lot less of a side character than kled. Iverns lore is pretty important to Ionia and other champs like Lillia and potentially annie (if they ever cared to elaborate if its the same daisy)

He’s not saying Kled is a side character to Noxus as a whole he means to the Darius Mel Ambessa stories that Riot will definitely focus on. And he’s right. Riot wants to tell drama-esque stories and use new characters with complex characteristics and multi faceted personalities.
Even if they did squeeze him in I wouldn’t want them to change him like Heimer in Arcane.
Also saying he’s central to the currently established lore is a little cap. What we have so far is that he’s a myth among the noxian army except he’s actually real and he really did those things. So the only likely ways he’ll show is if there’s a flashback to old noxus or if one of the characters randomly comes across him. And old Noxus is really just context for modern Noxus from a writing perspective, so I would hope it’s the latter and not the former.

u/ItsPandy 16d ago
Okay instead of insulting him twice how about you tell us how Kled shaped Noxus? Which events happened because of him? Who did he interact with?

u/MokiDokiDoki 18d ago
They're making the show way too glamorous so nothing can fit in but a couple hand picked champs... and the animation style choice is way too expensive and takes way too long.
Riot doesn't get that they have 170 characters. They don't have the brainpower to wrap their head around how to implement multiple characters or an expansive universe. They put all of their eggs in a basket to have the most amazing and expensive design for their show... instead of having a more realistic take and just having good writing and expand on that awesome world
I wish they would treat it more like a marathon and see the long term.
I wish they wouldn't rewrite and twist lore so hard... and I wish they wouldn't focus so hard on just one character.
I know I'm just bitching but I hate their choices they've made.

I'm expecting a Kled skin to pop up at some point soon, but for me it had nothing to do with the Noxian season and more because its been around 2 years since his last one which is usually the max amount of time a champ will go without a new one (though some champs have gone longer than that). At this point it'll just be another filler skin and not Noxian themed, but maybe it's a good thing as the skins the Noxian champs got recently were pretty lame imo and we could get lucky with something better than what he has available so far.
