Zilean is the Chronokeeper, a time-manipulating mage from Riot Games' League of Legends, and his laugh is one of the in-game champion emotes players trigger with a hotkey during matches. Because the cackle is so short and distinctive, clips of it were lifted from gameplay and shared on soundboards and in edited videos, where it became a shorthand taunt for outplaying an opponent. It remains popular because League of Legends players recognise it instantly, even out of context, and because a one-second laugh fits neatly over highlights, fails, and reaction edits.
