Gather around and a game we will play, But those who will stay will most likely decay. For this one’s not easy, you’ll welcome dismay. Fear not my friends, there is no foul play.

Sir Ryze I despise this guise of lies. The wise your demise for your skin’s your disguise. Faces and faces can be any places, But this one needs braces in his first of races.

Old Mr. Kench you formidable chef, For no reason at all you’ll eat some guy named Jeff. But you won’t stop there, for you’re never done. You’ll eat his whole family, especially his son.

Ms. Annie unsteady, for you’re not so petty, You’re at the ready with your little teddy. But those who are foes, she will kill and dispose, Unless they compose and give her a rose.

Oh Lucian, be honest, your wife is a slave. She’s held by that thresh, that terrible knave. But you must be brave, your wife you must save, Before you must search for her when she’s beyond the grave.

My heavens, I’ve done it, another game of names. But this one is harder, for it’s not the same. For if in this game, you provide me with names, I’ll tell you outright, the prize you won’t claim.

The riddle has been solved. I guess I am not making it hard enough.

The answer to the riddle was Mt. Rushmore.

Explaination:

Ryze your skin is your disguise. I was pointing you toward his skins. Uncle Sam skin to be specific.

Faces and faces can be anyplaces. Mt. Rushmore is a bunch of faces.

This on needs braces George Washington. In his first of races. First presidential race.

TOM kench eats some guy names JEFF and his SON Thomas Jefferson

Annie has her TEDDY and needs a ROSE Theodore Roosevelt

Lucian be HONEST (Honest Abe) Your wife is a SLAVE you must SAVE -> Abraham Lincoln.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln is the order of the faces on Mt. Rushmore.

Good job Boise Boss Bear.

.....uhhhh.... Mt. Rushmore?

The four champions are referencing four presidents; Ryze is George Washington Tahm Kench is Thomas Jefferson Annie is Theodore Rosevelt Lucian is Abraham Lincoln

your last paragraph tells me that just getting the names isn't enough; all those faces are on Mt. Rushmore, referencing your second paragraph.

:D I hope i'm right!

Lol wtf xD

Hmm

Faces and Faces

Braces - Washington

Some guy named Jeff - Jefferson

Teddy - Teddy Roosevelt

Saving slaves - Lincoln

Well done. This one seemed to have many more superfluous things in it than the last one, focusing instead on key words instead of the stanzas as a whole.

This one was solved quite quickly, however I don't think it is because it was easier, rather because of what I mentioned above, it feels like less work went into it.

I am an inexperienced riddle writer and willing to admit it. I will work on the next one being harder and more complex. Perhaps without pictures this time.

So you prefer riddles like this?

One and one and one incomplete. Without the other there's likely defeat. The other, your brothers, and colors are yours Good luck my fair fellow in this war of wars.

Is this a riddle or just a badass ending to this one?

Well, I think it was as hard as the previous one. What might have made it a little bit easier I think is "Uncle Sam" (though I understand you had to point at it somehow). That really made me think about presidency and stuff. The others were quite tricky and innovative though, because only with deep thinking they could be solved. I also like that you're relating a lot to trivias. Well played. :3

By the way, maybe you should let the first day of the riddle with no clues at all. Next one, the poem? It's more intriguing like this. Last riddle was also solved quite soon after you revealed the poetry, so it says a lot.

That's a riddle in and of itself. And thank you for the feedback. Can you solve that one?

That "one" stuff remind me about Kindred.

"Without the other there's likely defeat"... dunno.

"The others, your brothers, and colors are yours" Colors. Red.

"Good luck my fair fellow in this war of wars." So it's about wars?

.. Red vs Blue? Q~Q

One and one and one incomplete. Without the other there's likely defeat. Is it something about American culture again? One and one and one incomplete.

I'm thinking too much about colors now. Is it something like the "sides" of a real war? Nah, I dunno. Though it reminds me of something like the brotherhood between the army militants or stuff like this. It's either a game of names and I'm wrong or a metaphor for something.

EDIT: I'm thinking about the Japanese flag. Red and White. Or maybe another flag in three colors?

Fritterz1 votes

The answer is league related this time.

ERR UserNotFound1 votes

{quoted}

The answer is league related this time.

Red side and blue side of course.

.. Noxus vs Ionia? Demacia vs Noxus? I think it's one of this.

But that without the others there is defeat.. urgh. It's a dynamic balance.

Shen-Akali-Kennen? Ok that's too far. I'll keep thinking about it.

O_o wow, I was happy to figure it out but I had some doubts.. :3 Thanks! I'm at work also, i'll be on in eight or nine hours, if that works for you.

SkyBlade792 votes

wow, amazing job! I can't believe your thought processes...

BoiseBossBear1 votes

Thanks! Honestly, I can't quite believe it either, maybe it's because i'm suuuuper tired :P

SkyBlade792 votes

I have no idea, but I think I found some things out of place in the poem, that could possibly mean something.

"The wise your demise for your skin’s your disguise. Faces and faces can be any places," Seems completely unrelated to Ryze.

"But this one needs braces in his first of races." Makes absolutely no sense to me... Makes me think of Gnar, because he was the first of his race

"You’ll eat his whole family, especially his son." Why his son?

"Unless they compose and give her a rose" The rose seems oddly specific... Makes me think of Fiora or Jhin.

"Before you must search for her when she’s beyond the grave." Makes me think of Yorick, maybe Sion.

I'm horrible at riddles, but maybe these will help somebody else

In the right direction on some, in the wrong direction on others.

W-w-..what? It got solved already? Q~Q

Good job BoiseBossBear ;3

Fritterz1 votes

You're a regular. Give me feedback. Was it too easy?

BoiseBossBear1 votes

Thanks for the congratulations, ERR UserNotFound :D

Fritterz, I don't know if this will help, but i'll tell you how I figured it out so fast.

A big hint was the third paragraph, with Tahm Kench.

Old Mr. Kench you formidable chef, For no reason at all you’ll eat some guy named Jeff. But you won’t stop there, for you’re never done. You’ll eat his whole family, especially his son.

The name Jeff caught my eye immediately because there was no lore(or otherwise)-related mention of Jeff. Because of your previous riddle, names were on my mind, so when I saw Jeff and then the mention of his son, I instantly thought of Jefferson.

I had my suspicions after that, and the Annie paragraph sealed the deal with the mention of Annie's "teddy" and how you should give her a "rose"(again, no mention of roses related to Annie)

Ms. Annie unsteady, for you’re not so petty, You’re at the ready with your little teddy. But those who are foes, she will kill and dispose, Unless they compose and give her a rose.

I couldn't exactly figure out the second and fourth paragraphs, but your last one

My heavens, I’ve done it, another game of names. But this one is harder, for it’s not the same. For if in this game, you provide me with names, I’ll tell you outright, the prize you won’t claim.

told me the names alone wouldn't work, so I looked for somewhere or something having both Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson together.

your second paragraph

Sir Ryze I despise this guise of lies. The wise your demise for your skin’s your disguise. Faces and faces can be any places, But this one needs braces in his first of races.

mentioned faces, which brought me to Mt. Rushmore and the other two presidents :3

TLDR; I think what made this riddle easy for me was the abundance of clues unrelated to champions mentioned in the paragraphs. Hope this helps! :D

Fritterz2 votes

TLDR, Don't worry I read it. Thank you so much for your thought process. It is difficult to balance the hard riddle and the impossible riddle. Good thing I have plenty of time. I enjoy writing riddles.

They each hide behind a "disguise"? Ryze hides his true self behind his magic, The Kench hides his evil nature behind the guise of a helpful frog-thing. Annie hides behind the guise of childhood innocence. Lucian hides his dispair behind the guise of anger and revenge. . . . . Please give me the skin.[zombie-nunu-tears]

If that's the answer, what does all the other stuff mean? :(

Is it a lunar new year thing? Trimumphant Rise(from the Ryze skin) Lunar(without the sun) Petra(they have a song called A Rose for Annie) Lantern(where Senna is).

Fritterz1 votes

Not a lunar year thing. But one of your items is headed in the right direction (but the wrong direction at the same time).

SkyBlade791 votes

Lantern seems like a good idea.

Fritterz1 votes

I wouldn't recommend focusing too much on that...

Choaru1 votes

So it is a phrase? Or a title or some sorta.

Fritterz1 votes

It's hard to give that info yet. It would be a HUGE hint if I told you.

Choaru1 votes

Ok fine. Then the middle four paragraphs are "important" while the first and last only state the type of game we are doing, and wishing us luck >_>

Anyways, I'm getting the doom death murder kinda dark vibe for the answer considering there is mention of death and killing and eating people and decaying...

Fritterz1 votes

I feel comfortable agreeing to that statement. I am afraid that people will consider it unsolvable. You all are part of the first riddles I have ever written. Thus you are my guinea pigs to find the balance or the line between SUPER HARD and unsolvable. We shall find out. Sorry for experimenting on you all! :P

I'll never solve one cuz I'm and uncultured swine but I will try :P I hope I'm that fluffy Guinea pig with a purple bow :D

X-Men: Apocalypse.

"Everything they've built... will fall! And from the ashes of their world, we'll build a better one!"

{quoted}

Sir Ryze I despise this guise of lies. The wise your demise for your skin’s your disguise. Faces and faces can be any places, But this one needs braces in his first of races.

So, there's the "I despise this guise of lies," so what's the opposite of Rise? Fall. And the thing about faces and races leads me to think of another species or some sort, like Mutants.

Old Mr. Kench you formidable chef, For no reason at all you’ll eat some guy named Jeff. But you won’t stop there, for you’re never done. You’ll eat his whole family, especially his son.

He'll never stop devouring, even 'till no one is left. Apocalypse.

Ms. Annie unsteady, for you’re not so petty, You’re at the ready with your little teddy. But those who are foes, she will kill and dispose, Unless they compose and give her a rose.

"And from the ashes of their world, we'll build a better one!" And what does Annie do? Catches things on fire. And what comes from fire? Ashes.

Oh Lucian, be honest, your wife is a slave. She’s held by that thresh, that terrible knave. But you must be brave, your wife you must save, Before you must search for her when she’s beyond the grave.

"Beyond the grave" That makes me think of Hell, and they referenced the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the trailer. Pretty sure they actually are supposed to come from Heaven as an ending to the world, but people commonly mistake them for like, Satan's servants or something.

Still some loose ends and things I probably missed, but this is all I get out of it so... yeah.

SkyBlade791 votes

Really clever, I wish you were right :(

Does the riddle have something to do with Renekton? Since it talks about masks and hiding behind things, in Renekton's Lore and I quote, "Now, he is little more than a rage-fueled beast who seeks to kill his brother Nasus, who he believes is to blame for his current state of mind." To me this would make sense since, he is hiding behind his vengeful state and blaming it on Nasus, cause he is thirsty for Nasus to be dead. Also it says from the riddle, "But this one needs braces," and Renekton has big teeth Renekton
