The Year is 2033

I boot up a game of League. (Everyone said it'd be killed by DQ but basically every single game has DQ now. Overwatch was the first of many. Now everyone complains other companies for copying RIot.)

I load up a game of Summoners Rift. There are 133 champions now. After the last two Riot kinda hit a slump. It also doesn't help that new ideas have to run a lore gauntlet. Nine out of ten potential characters die in lore before they get to release. Number ten ends up being alive but a vegetable. They make good ward skins though.

Open the items menu. Riot's been reworking every class. Everyone has new items. All the old ones are gone. By level 18 I'm able to get my Infinity Force made out of the reworked Nashors tooth, the reworked black cleaver and the reworked lich bane. My finger slips and I hit the wrong tab.

All the items have changed....except for one.

It's been decades.

Every month someone asks about it. (And the Yorick rework. He got delayed.)

"We're working on it," Riot says.

I tremble as I stare at it.

It's survived entire class updates.

Its outlived rabbadons. Its outlived infinity edge. Its outlived the twenty hextech items Riot tried to implement. The last one made your opponants have to complete a game of DoTA2 as a CC mechanic. Valve cross-promotions are a thing now. (The HotS variant is stronger because nobody plays it anymore.)

Yet still. Ohmwrecker lives on.

Tears in my eyes I stare at it. I grab the screen, shaking it, shouting to any god who would listen. By the toupe of high overlord president Trump may his reign be eternal and his wall be limitless...

WHY WONT YOU DIE!?!?
