Hey all,

We are adding Ashe and Garen temporarily to the free-to-play champion rotation for a period of approximately two weeks in North America only, beginning on February 23, 2016 at 4:30PM PDT. This is one of several tests to try to improve the onboarding experience for new players. Thank you for your support as we look to make learning League of Legends easier.

Ashe Garen

EDIT: Ashe & Garen will not be taking the place of any other champions in the rotating pool; they will be additive. :)

Here's to hoping a more comprehensive series of tutorials is part of the tests, or the end game :3

Yeah a tutorial explaining the current meta to a player and everything would be nice, because half the time when you just start playing, you don't know jack shit and you play yi support with 6 giants belts like my friend did when he just started playing. He mained that until he learned it was terrible
