Which LoL champion says ‘And so they traveled, over mountains and glaciers! And this one time, there was a village full of people turned into stone! We couldn’t help them. But we’re gonna help everyone else’?

It feels good to have another first-in-the-world answer.

Today’s LoLdle quote seemed fairly straightforward to me. Even though it was another longer voice line, there were enough hints and clues in the text to make it somewhat obvious which League of Legends champion would say this.

Who says “And so they traveled, over mountains and glaciers! And this one time, there was a village full of people turned into stone! We couldn’t help them. But we’re gonna help everyone else!” in League?

May 27’s LoLdle quote is “And so they traveled, over mountains and glaciers! And this one time, there was a village full of people turned into stone! We couldn’t help them. But we’re gonna help everyone else!” The League champion who says this is Nunu & Willump.

Nunu & Willump say this voice line together (with a few yeti grunts worked in between) whenever the champions first leave the fountain. Some champions have “first move” voice lines that they only say when a game begins and you first right-click on the ground. This is one such line.

Even though I’ve never played a single game of Nunu in my near-decade spent on League, several elements of this quote immediately made me think of Nunu. For starters, talking about traversing mountains and glaciers set the scene for where this League champ could be from in Runeterra. But arguably the most obvious hint in this quote is the word “we,” which indicates this had to be said by a champ with a trusty sidekick like Willump. There are only a few champions who speak in pairs (like Kindred, for example), but the bubbly nature of this quote made me immediately think it belonged to the Boy and his Yeti.

The other big clue to me here is the length of the quote. While many older League champions tend to have brief, more succinct quotes, newer champions (including reworked ones like Nunu & Willump) can drone on for hours with some of their voice lines. All of the context clues in this one, including the “glaciers and mountains” part, made me think of a champion from the Freljord, while the “we” and “they” parts clued me in that it’s likely a duo champ like Nunu and Willump.

I’m not super knowledgeable about Nunu’s wider Runeterra lore, but I do know Riot recently released a platform game called Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story. If anyone else is like me and is now interested in learning more about the Boy and his Yeti after this interesting LoLdle quote, that’d be a decent place to start.
