Forget Noxus: Fan creates the real LoL 2025 cinematic featuring the war of the Hextech Chest

Following the hotly contested debacle surrounding the removal and eventual reinstatement of Hextech Chests in League of Legends, one creative fan made a 48-second animation recreating a famous battle within the game’s lore.

The animation, which was made by a single creator on YouTube named Yaroslav Zaytsev, has quickly garnered just under 45,000 views and will probably amass plenty more. The cinematic takes place in Ionia, where the war-mongering, expansionist, and in this case capitalistic, nation of Noxus has been replaced by Riot Games’ headquarters. The innocent people of Ionia no longer wear traditional armor, and are instead decked out in Hextech Chests as they prepare to fight for the honor and reinstation of this free monetary system.
