Okay I can't be the only one with this opinion, but this was pretty lazy. Yea I'm not expecting URF or anything half as good but this just doesn't feel right at all. If the whole joke is a UI change I'm gonna be pretty sad. April Fool's Day is the day that League used to own as their holiday with fun and interesting patches and over the last two years it devolved form a really awesome well exectued game mode, to a silly gimmick that got old, and then to literally just normals with a UI change. I'm super dissapointed. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

that's what happens when you've ran out of ideas.

I'm not personally disappointed, because they're still keeping in the spirit of April Fool's with funny, charming pranks, not to mention skins that would likely elsewise not see the light of day.

I read the whole "Advanced AI" thing and had myself a little laugh about the technobabble, and then laughed more when it dawned on me they just slapped "x Bot" over enemy champions - it's harmless, fun, and it probably didn't cost them much, so they can probably focus more on making some really cool stuff later this year.

It doesn't have to be some grandiose event whenever April Fool's Day comes around, just like not every Halloween needs to herald the Harrowing. Subtlety can be equally as effective as being bombastic about it - and, while this April Fool's joke /is/ a little on the weak side, it still shows that they care enough to play jokes on their community.

Besides; we're getting a free Summoner Icon for this. Who doesn't like free stuff?

So the first game may or may not be amusing. After youve figured out their gimmick, theres literally nothing. Thats it. Nothing. Like really?

April Fools jokes are suppose to be a one-off joke to get you.

It doesn't matter after the initial "What the hell" reaction.

They're afraid to do something considering last year probably.

Would you rather have Draven heads on everything again?
