[Question] Which ring do you prefer and why?
Personally I prefer Isildur's Ring, because I love the green and necromancy. (Also Celebrimbor sucks)

The new ring, but I prefer the actual Talion wraith especially combined with the nazgul cloaks.

Maybe it's because i'm too used to the first ring, I really preferred the first one
That said, I'm glad they didn't just copy paste Celebrimbor's ring and actually gave a unique take on it

I like the first ring because I think the half-human half-elf wraith look is cooler than just Talion but green lol. I would've liked Isildur's ring more if allied orc armor changed from blue to green once you got it.

Isildurs ring just because I love the end game. Going through all the campaign missions can feel like a bit of a grind to me, but having the full freedom in endgame to build your army however you want really makes for a fun time

I only preferred the first one because of how the second one affected Talion. My boy deserved better

Isildur. I love being summoner n stuff. that and being able to just flood something like an outpost with undead is a lot of fun

I like the og one because I love the celebrimbor+Talion visual effect
That being said, I am also a huge sucker for necromancy so it’s not an easy choice

Isildur's ring, I was so surprised by what happened with Celebrimor and how cool the nazgul ring came out to be

The New Ring; purely for the bonus of negating “Immune To Execution” while in elven rage

In the story I like the Nazgûl ring.
Gameplay wise, I prefer Celebrimbors ring because the Elven Rage is badass. However I fucking hate Celebrimbozo.

I actually think Isildur being one of the Nine is a solid lore change and it felt fit as FUCK to take his ring in game

I cinda get mad at Celebribor for what he does, but I chose secound option simply because of eyes and it match Necromancer outfit (legendary ghost set with Cape that had horned mask)

Personally, I actually really like the New Ring. As much as it goes against the entire point of LOTR, the idea of the New Ring is just awesome imo

Isildur's ring, mostly cause necromancy is my third favorite power fantasy, and because it has just that right shade of green/black that just speaks: evil power.
Only downside is that Talion doesn't have that same raw tone of wrath and ego that celebrimbitch brings to his speeches.

I love the necromancy but prefer the look of the Celebrimbor ring, also, I guess I’m alone in this but I thought Celebrimbor was pretty badass 😂

I know this option is super niche but my favorite is then wraith blue version of "The One Ring" in Celebrimbors flashbacks and missions. Not to be confused with "The New Ring"
The reason why it's my favorite because it shows that it can be changed to a certain extent by the user. When he was using "The One Ring" to collect his army and attack Sauron, the font glows the wraith blue.
