I already liked it before starting because I know it's gonna be good.
The second I heard Badministrator I hit like
I personally didn't like the fact that irelia's part felt so rushed and fast sung. A calmer approach would have been more appropriate
Sad to see that Kayn was not included
Oh man, this was incredible. Everyone brought their A-game.
I was out of touch with falconshield for a while but GODDAMN this is one of the best christmas gifts.
Sett goes waaaaaaay to hard, I love it
So worth to have waited for this!! I knew this would be a masterpiece!
YO, LULU'S VA AS IRELIA?? HOLY WOW
I won't lie, holy fuck Zed's verse is so good.
"I will bury the Light"
Vergil Approves
Eargasm. This was a most welcomed surprise
As much as I love this, I wish Master Yi was present 😔
I will admit:
I was expecting Kayn near the end, but probably they are keeping him for a possible Darkin track with Rhaast?
That was awesome too bad Kayn wasn’t in it to help Zed.
Very VERY nice, can´t believe Yasuo here actually sounded so real too.
Though not meant as negative criticizm, but I am suprised I didn´t hear anything of Kayn and Rhaast.
Y'all KILLED it with this one. Badmin still proving he's the best in the business, and I wasn't expecting Akinola in this one, let alone for him to deliver a fire verse
Loved every second of it, but did anyone else hear 5:11 and think Karma was about to drop in?

Thank you for coming back and also bringing back Badministrator, I really missed him and he nailed it like always
HELL YESSSS. 100% worth the wait!
This might genuinely be the best you've done yet!
Great stuff!
Once again you guys pulled together some incredible talent and sent us a banger to listen to. I have especially missed Badmin and was so happy to see his return along with all the other excellent returners and some new voices that absolutely killed it on the beat. Keep being awesome and thank you all for all the fantastic music!
why no Xayah and Rakan 😢 But was worth the wait.
that was good , thank you for coming back
it was lovely but i expected my baby jhin to have some drama in his voice , tho i like the strings in his part good touch
I'm crying tears of joy
Wtf where is kayn
Absolutely amazing! Best one yet! You guys never cease to amaze! Keep up the good work!
Everyone but Jhin and Irelia, and Ahri great job
Jhin and Irelia and Ahri were so bad I almost closed the video and vomitted
But the rest were straight FIRE
This was worth it, man so happy you are back.
If I could get just the Badmin verse that'd be dope.
Sorry Falconshield i really love the music you produce but in this video Karma was suppose to be in it, but she was only mentioned. Will she come in later in another music video?
I definitely feel there was a few weak verses, such as Lee and Irelia's – but all in all it's a solid upload!
edit: spelling
I have to listen to this again, but I feel it doesn't really stand to "this is shurima".
NGL, half of it worth, the other half not so much. Badmin slapped as usual, Jhin was popping. but was left dissapointed with Akali and Lee sin. Yas was amazing.. it just felt all over the place. they hype was let down for me
That Jhin verse just…. hit different. Queen Shara herself blessed the Akali verse. This is truly a great year for music
Nicki taylor! ok now we know why ahri took stage on this!
Now let's brainstorm who could be on This Is War 8: Bilgewater
damn love it
I don't mean this to sound rude, I just don't know another way to put it.
i think some of the voices did not really match the person they were representing, that's not me saying they are bad but compared to all the other wars it feels disconnected. it might even just be the tempo but the only voice that really felt right was Jhins.
Another thing I think needs work is the tempo pacing of each champion. Zed’s part (the first one) felt nice, it carried on without dragging on. It had a few joke/pop culture references but quickly turned into metaphors and idealism. Only for when it ended it moved onto Lee Sin who had 40 seconds of gameplay references and jokes for most of his time on screen.
What I loved was how the beat of the song changed with each champion and it felt personalized to the champ, i said that Jhin's was my favorite but that first part, the animations and the beat gave me chills.
I have little experience with music so honestly my critiques could be entirely wrong, also i'm not saying i hate the song i just feel like what made the other War’s amazing was left out in this one. I can't wait for the next one.
WHERES YII FFFSS
It was good. I was hoping kayne would jump in at the end.
I'm a little saddened that Jhin's part wasn't entirely in 4 by 4 tempo, but I'll take what I can get.
Absolutely killed it. Every one of you. Damned amazing. Well done to all!!!
It wasn't bad, but compared to the other this is war videos it is nowhere near as good
What a wait, my ionian boys yasuo and jhin, stephanos rex literally voice matched Liam O'Brien with that verse…
