EDIT I let a hint slip somewhere in the comments.... Ooops..

EDIT HINTHINT Hey guys, this riddle is definitely more abstract than my other riddles... Sorry if it is too hard, let me know if you think it was even solvable. I am still new to riddle writing and it may take a while to find the line between too easy and too difficult.

Here is the hint:

Six means four, and four means one. Hickory in two, in five you are done. Four is bored and three lets you see, Showered with power and the one is complete.

I will be posting the answer tomorrow, (Saturday) at around noon.

AsphodelNext has solved the riddle!

The answer is a computer.

Reasoning:

First paragraph: Just an introduction to the riddle.

Second paragraph refers to the mouse. Tick tock on the dock is a reference to hickory dickory dock. The MOUSE ran up the clock. The computer mouse is a “creature” that is used and abused. You blame it, defame it, and all around shame it. Aaaaand you use is as a scapegoat.

Third paragraph refers to your monitor. Whether you have one monitor or multiple monitors (clones) its up to you. You can’t fight without your sight. A monitor. Even if you move your character you still can’t see your character without a monitor.

The fourth paragraph refers to your keyboard. Many keys to one lock. (password) Pocket them and they are worth nothing. At one point in time the keyboard was the only input system into a computer. And day we may not even need a keyboard.

Fifth paragraph refers to the computer tower. Or the word tower just to point you in the right direction. Mother of power, mother of control

The last paragraph is a wrap up.

Please let me know what you think of the riddle. Was it too abstract? Was it solvable? Go ahead and shoot me an email with your thought. [email protected]. I will not share your info with anyone. And I think I will send out an email BCC to everyone letting them know when a new riddle is out. Or you can tell me not to include you in that list.

Thank you for participating! You guys are great and you keep my hobby alive.

According to past trends... One of his riddles had 4 photos and 4 verses, and was Mount Rushmore Another had 4 photos, 4 verses, and was a 4 word phrase.

Maybe this one is another phrase? Each verse being a different word? Would explain why it's so hard to come up with something that fits everything.

Seems then that the last word is tower, perhaps? Based on a previous answer he gave.

I wanna guess either suttlecrabs or the towers/turrets.

turrets seems to fit more closely to what the riddle hints at but idk.

Towers Towers are Used and All, Like Azir. A lot of times, I see this comment. "Tower Plz" Towers Stand by themselves, although they all look the same. Clones They Also Provide Vision, which helps fight. Erm...you can move it. Pocket them (Or Destroy them, they are worth nothing. Except Azir, and Vayne. etc) They Don't Smile, and are solemn and in columns. Big and tall. Far from the enemy, so foreign. Also fountain turrets control you at the beginning, not allowing you to leave. It's also powerful, having one of the highest damages in the game Back to Towers, without them you most likely cannot win. Or kill. Or stay alive Lol am i right? I've been trying forever. I love these xD

I think I have it!

Is it the capture points on the Crystal Scar? It was 'used and abused' to the point where it was removed, and they are 'many keys to one lock' the lock meaning victory. However, if you take only one point it is 'worth but squat'. They're standing there majestic and stuff, unmoving, as statues. And without them, you won't reach your goal, or victory. Also, for the clones part, there's multiple ones so they are clones in a sense. Finally, there are five stanzas, not counting the last one which is a conclusion/hint, and there are five capture points.

Am I right?

Please tell me I'm right.

I'm usually pretty good with riddles and I'm not getting enough here to even formulate a guess. I think this one may have branched too far into the "too difficult" category.

Hello Fritterz, I have a guess....... Is it perhaps a warship or some kind of ship, pirate ship perhaps? First the first stanza of the riddle talks about fighting, and a system of thoughts. "System of thoughts" meaning crew perhaps? Then "tick tock on the dock" and of course a ship has to dock. Also "used and abused," a old ship? I'm not sure about the third stanza, but in the fourth it talks about a "current course," which of course chips take a course when they sail. In the fifth stanza you talk about "Standing columns." which could me the masts of the ship. Also "Foreign and Domestic" ships could sail to foreign lands our to domestic lands. Thanks Fritterz for reading this (hopefully you did, TELL ME IM RIGHT) and have a nice day.

Also I've been meaning to ask, it is off subject, but what role/champ do you main, how long have you been playing League, and what kept you playing? Thanks, metsyu, ADC main: Vayne , Playing since November of 2010, and what kept me playing is the enjoyment of playing with my friends and the competitive aspect of ranked solo queue (even though it pisses me off sometimes).

Oh lol. I was thinking that, but I thought it wasn't "League" Enough to be the answer.
