I was looking at the PBE and a Poro Game Mode is about to go on PBE, I don't know about you, but I'm on the hype train right now. Here are the rules:

The Poro King

>Blind Pick (with bans) on Howling Abyss with added elements of Dodgeball and Poros.
Champions gain the following summoner spells:
    Poro Toss - Hurls a poro forward in the line that deals true damage to the first enemy hit. If Poro Toss hits an enemy you gain the ability to cast Poro Dash for 3 seconds, which causes you to dash to the target. Using Poro Dash will reduce the cooldown of Poro Toss by 5 seconds. (20 second cooldown)
        Each player is followed around by two poros, which are their ammunition. Players can customise the appearance of their poros with the  [Battlecast,](http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141120002716/leagueoflegends/images/6/62/ProfileIcon743_Battlecast_Poro.jpg) [Gentleman,](http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141120002745/leagueoflegends/images/b/bb/ProfileIcon744_Gentleman_Poro.jpg) [Shadow Isles,](http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141120002755/leagueoflegends/images/e/ed/ProfileIcon745_Ghost_Poro.jpg) [Astronaut ](http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141120002806/leagueoflegends/images/e/e1/ProfileIcon746_Astro_Poro.jpg)and [Dragon Slayer ](http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141120002819/leagueoflegends/images/d/d3/ProfileIcon747_Dragon_Poro.jpg)summoner icons. 
        Poros cannot by blocked be spell shields or Wind Wall - because they are animals, not spells! 
    To The King! - Hitting an enemy champion with Poro Toss earns your team 1 Poro Mark. Upon reaching 10 Poro Marks, you will summon the Poro King. While the king is active, neither team can score Poro Marks and your team gains the ability to cast To The King!, which dashes you to your king's side (10 second cooldown).
        The King is an extremely powerful minion who will assist is pushing down the lane. In addition to a large amount of health, a health/mana regeneration aura and a built in poro-cannon, the King will intercept enemy Poro Tosses within a radius much larger than his standard collision hitbox (highlighted for all players to see).
        The team's current Poro Marks are disabled next to the kills and assists at the top of the screen.

Rito is so amazing. You are appreciated Riot, I'm more excited about this than URF!

When you play it, keep this in mind.

Ban Alistar.

I went 32/4 in the PBA with a pentakill and 2 quadras as alistar. This mode lets you throw a poro the length of lux ult, and then teleport to it. Alistar goes nutts with it lol.

poro mode isn't that cool though it is cute

kDrakari11/26/2014, 12:37:09 AM1 votes

Can poros be blocked by Braum's shield? Not because they're spells, just because they like Braum?
