@Riot Why make a new champion just to write off his existence in less than a week?

Login screen changed, almost every client link is Star Guardian stuff, the store is a rainbow of more Star Guardian stuff, and even the League of Legends Soundcloud has the Star Guardian themes up before the Ivern login theme? https://soundcloud.com/leagueoflegends

Wtf Riot? Did half the staff like Ivern and the other half simply not agree with his existence? "Okay, Ivern had his two days, can we just switch over to what will make us money already?"

And don't get me wrong, I like the Star Guardian stuff, but we were kept waiting almost 2 weeks for the PROJECT event after the patch it was to be on came out, yet a few days after this patch, Ivern gets literally vomited by Star Guardians. Couldn't you have hyped the skins a bit more or something? It's just disrespectful to the new champion man.

There's a good chance ivern's log in screen will return after the SG stuff.

It'll only be as a placeholder though till something else comes along.

Isn't that how every log in screen is?

Yeah but it's the fact that at least they usually got their week of being cool before becoming placeholder.

How many people would sit on their favorite login screen for a bit before finally putting in their password? I saw a post just yesterday even about login screens and how people would like the ability to switch over to their favorite ones if they'd like.

Ivern's was just up and out; not even a major focus in comparison to the Star Guardians. When it comes back up, no one will even pay it any mind because there won't be any form of excitement that came with Ivern's release by that point.

EDIT: Plus, login screen aside, his existence was still pushed out everywhere else. If you hadn't been playing for the past week, you could come back and miss the fact there is a new champion.

I'm sure they will bring ivern back. the star guardian thing is only temporary and wont be on longer than a month. probably will see it before the new season. You forget its also Worlds, and worlds is still going on, and they had their own screen time. Just give them a bit, its not fact that Ivern wont be returning on the login screen. they probably have data that ivern is a niche champion and rather focus on promoting other things, like skins and worlds, before Ivern. be patient, there are more people on RIOT working on these things than you think. Exexcutive decesion and all that.
