We could say this comic arrived in a timely manner ;)

My initial thought was so many black jokes

YOU SIR, HAVE WON THE BOARDS!

I don't think anyone could've appreciated his hair fully through a gray screen then.

Yeah, I didn't care much about Ekko, but did find curious when it was stated that he doesn't know what a yordle is.

TheTariansMay 22, 20167 votes

I didn't even know that he did not know what Yordles were. Huh... Weird.

JayHog1992May 22, 20161 votes

It's in the wiki, I have a nasty habbit of studying new champions via that because there are people that go balls in and get as much info on them as possible and place them.

TheTariansMay 22, 20161 votes

TBH, the only character that I really know the lore to well is Jax, since I used to main him back when I first started. I do really want to read Rumble's lore though.

JayHog1992May 22, 20167 votes

Rumble is pretty simple. He was bullied when he was young and grew up thinking that only yordles deserves to have their tech and not Piltover, thinking that Pilties treat yordles as "smart pets". This means that Rumble hates Piltover because humans don't deserve the tech.

So Rumble, one day went to speak his mind, only to come back home beaten to a pulp. So to prove that Bandle CIty is the only city worth of yordle tech, he made his mech Tristy and joined the League of Legends (Possibly to be changed later because of new lore.)

His mech was also made because he loves Tristana, but Tristana also sounds interest on Teemo, so it's kind of a love triangle in this scenario.

TheTariansMay 22, 20168 votes

It's more of a love square.

Rumble -----------> Trist ^&&&&&&&&&&&&I I &&&&&&&&&&&&I I &&&&&&&&&&&&/ Shrooms <-------- Teemo

JayHog1992May 22, 20162 votes

I'll let that slide since it was funny. But yeah, if I was Tristana, I would just take both and have a threesome. I mean, how many times can you get two guys to like you? XD

TheTariansMay 22, 20162 votes

HAHAHA, but in all seriousness, Trist x Rumble is my OTP.

JayHog1992May 22, 20161 votes

I'm hoping more for TristXTeemo. The poor little yordle needs some love. Heck, even Riot refuses to give him any by giving him that crappy depressing Omega Squad Teemo skin...

For once I wish there could be a skin for Teemo where his voice lines would be him more happy to be part of the fight and not completely serious.

TheTariansMay 22, 20161 votes

But that would not fit him at all.....,

Maybe, reverse Teemo?

JayHog1992May 22, 20161 votes

Honestly, him being sad doesn't fit him in the first place, the whole Omega Squad thing was a terrible concept to begin with.

Christ, he's just a happy yordle fighting for his city, Rumble is doing the same, why can't they share the same happy spirit?

TheTariansMay 22, 20162 votes

Well Rumble hates Teemo because Tristana is into him. Teemo is just a solo mission type of guy, so I have no clue where he fits into this. But I agree that they could put their differences aside and work to protect Bandle City.

"Time for a Bandle City Beatdown!" "Never underestimate the power of the Scout's Code!"

JayHog1992May 22, 20161 votes

My theory is that the only reason they dislike each other is because Teemo wants to solve things the peaceful wait with other nations, but won't hesitate to kill those who threaten his city.

While Rumble dislikes humans at all, as in, he doesn't want them to have ANY glory in life. So he'd normaly disagree with Teemo.

Not a perfect theory, but could be another motive besides love where they would dislike each other.

TheTariansMay 22, 20161 votes

That does seem to be a good theory, sure you aren't Mat Pat? haha. But it does seem to be good, a little loophole here and there, but it does have some reliability.

JayHog1992May 22, 20161 votes

Who's Mat Pat? Sorry for my ignorance.

ZarvanisMay 23, 20161 votes

He runs the Game Theory YouTube channel. It was one of the first video game theory channels that got really big.

It currently has 6.3 million subscribers.

JayHog1992May 23, 20161 votes

Is it that guy that ends with the sentence "But it's just a theory... a GAME theory?"

Chromatic EagleMay 23, 20161 votes

We only know that Trist and Teemo are friends. The shipping part was of characters thinking they're together.

INoble KnightIMay 22, 20167 votes

Actually Omega Squad Teemo fits because in his lore it mentions that Teemo shows no emotion in combat and it's the polar opposite of him in day to day life. So the super seriousness of the skin fits his personality in combat.

JayHog1992May 22, 20161 votes

The seriousness, yes, but not the depressive part. That's just Riot taking a spit at him by making him feel terrible.

INoble KnightIMay 22, 20161 votes

PTSD and combat go hand in hand most of the time. At least he's fine out of combat

JayHog1992May 22, 20164 votes

PTSD should affect him in and out of combat, if he's fine out of combat, then he doesn't have PTSD. Otherwise he would be trying to kill his friends in the paranoia of war.

Read his lore, he's a wreck.

SociopathFriendMay 23, 20161 votes

They weren't trying to make him feel terrible- they're just reversing the trope. Normally Teemo = super happy, cute, little ball of death Omega Teemo = Vietnam vet stuck behind enemy lines

JayHog1992May 23, 20161 votes

Never liked those skins that shows them in the other way. First Anivia, purposed to protect Freljord, becomes a complete bitch in her Blackfrost skin. Then Master Yi, a wise man and great swordman, now some messed up cyborg in his project skin.

Just gets weirder and weirder their choice of skins.
