In League of Legends there's this little Final Fantasy black mage-inspired champ that's been around since the beginning. Over the last year or so some of the champs (Sona, Hecarim and Miss Fortune) had "arcade" skins made for them with vibrant colour schemes and some neat visual effects (pixelation, classic "POWER UP" pop-ups, etc). Well, now there's Final Boss Veigar, and he's loaded with awesomeness.
Here's the teaser they released a few days ago:
Here's how he looks in-game:
He does a cool pixelated pose for his joke animation:
Now beyond that, he's also loaded with references. The most obvious one is that he's wearing the Power Glove, but all his attacks are based on shit, too. His Q looks like Aghanim's attack from TLoZ: Link to the Past. His W drops a random Tetris block. His E looks like obelisks from Command & Conquer.
Finally, he's loaded with quotes.
