RIot logic: Has a message board to interact with fans and players of their game

Does an AMA on Reddit instead of on their own boards.

Announces it on their boards

do you guys ever look at a champion and just think "yeah this kit is just a bit overloaded"

Can you just delete him already? This champion is an abomination and should have never been created. He will only cause more frustration and tilt in the game than anything. Stealing ultimates should have been a forbidden concept and should have not been used in any circumstances. I beg you, DELETE HIM NOW.

Real talk, I keep asking this on all platforms where Sylas has shown up.

Why is it so integral to Sylas' design that he MUST be shirtless?

Why has the security guard or whatever being decide to have him be shirtless in his prison cell?

Or maybe to ask this question as civil as possible:

Why the heck is he shirtless?

Like how was he able to remove his shirt threading his mongo gauntlets through the sleeves?

If Sylas has a love interest, who is it? If not, who would most likely be?

When did you come up with the idea of ult stealing? Is it something recently developed or did you guys toy around with that idea before?
