If you don't immediately get your Mystery Champion/Skin

Metalrichdog·Jul 1, 2015·55 votes·5,081 views

Don't fret if you don't immediately get your free mystery champion/skin, because it's going to take Riot some time in order to give the gifts to all of the players that qualified for it. Remember the time when Riot gave us all a mystery skin? Yeah, that took quite some time for all of us to receive our skins. (I had to wait 1 week before the skin was shipped to my account)

TL;DR: Be patient for the free champion/skin, it can take some time to ship to your account(s).

Deep Terror NamiJul 1, 20154 votes

Great support picks! I main Nami myself :3

Rew711Jul 1, 20151 votes

On the PBE, I mained Bard until he was level 5. Then I realized that eventually I'd want to go back to the main servers to get him again but he's a long time away. But, if I get him for free I'd be so happy. I'd also be happy with Braum because I've always played Taric. Thresh too. Lulu is a lot of fun. And Nami is tricky. And with another support on the way, I want to have more supports at my disposal than there are for me to have to try and get. I know I'm not getting a support, more than likely, but I'm still hoping.

BolwinkelJul 2, 20151 votes

Yes, Tahm Kench can be played as a support, however he is better played in top or jungle.

Rew711Jul 2, 20152 votes

He's better as a support. Riot says he suppose to be a support... I've played him as support, and it is fun and easier than playing him somewhere else. True, he can be like Nunu with the fun jungle and top, and the same can be said about Braum top, Thresh and Sona ADC; support/jungle/top kit is possible but "can be played" and "is played" are two different ways in saying that sentence. When Tahm Kench comes live, he will be mostly played as support.

Nami is my favourite of those supports. Bubble all the things.

Blue Moon WolfJul 2, 20151 votes

how have you gone this long without a piece of draaaaaaveeen

Rew711Jul 2, 20151 votes

It's been hard. When I tried him for free, he was a lot of fun. To both listen to and play.

I think Sona is way better than Lulu or Nami. You can spam your abilities (like facedesking, or face-keyboarding) and still own lane.

actually i got the skin immediately last time around, i am actually kinda surprised at how long this is taking them, riot normally tries to have stuff out in the 9am-12am timeframe, at least it seems like that to me. 4 pm here on the last day and it hasnt gotten to me yet.

The Vilemaw IconJul 2, 20155 votes

I get that it takes time, but then why didn't Riot A) Start earlier, or B) Give themselves more time?

Not salty, but you can see (even if you don't agree) why people are frustrated. This is a deadline Riot set for itself, so it's odd that they missed it.

omelettethecatJul 2, 20151 votes

pretty sure they said they would start shipping skins on 7/1

The Vilemaw IconJul 2, 20155 votes

"We plan to ship out the Mystery Champions by 7/1" is their exact language, with "by 7/1" reasonably indicating that you will have received it by the end of the day on 7/1

omelettethecatJul 2, 20152 votes

just reread the page and you are correct

faker fanJul 2, 20151 votes

its 1:09 am and still nothing

StreakyHydra39Jul 2, 20151 votes

Don't trust Rito with timing. That is all.

KocynheJul 2, 20154 votes

It's 12:21 AM for the western NA servers, and still no champions. What gives? This isn't a case of being impatient, this is a case of Riot saying they're going to do something on a given date and then utterly fail. They should expect this kind of overflow when they're offering free stuff, they're the largest internet-based game right now worldwide, and if they can't handle it right away they should be preparing at least several days in advance. There is no excuse for this kind of incompetence in a competitive game market, and if they keep this up, I can't see them lasting past another 2 or 3 years.

SquidblimpJul 2, 20153 votes

Well, July 1st has come and gone, and I don't have a mystery champion. Hmm. I participated in the Pool Party event, I don't have any negative behaviour warnings, and I've been connected to their Facebook thingy since it came out...

PoisonedPeaceJul 2, 20151 votes

Did anyone really expect them to be on time though?

Thanotos OmegaJul 2, 20151 votes

yes, and their failure to do so is very annoying, the mystery champ thread has more activity then the Tahm Q&A, i really hope riot cracks down on the team for this,

Mandang0Jul 2, 20152 votes

Pretty sure it's already 7/2 in some regions, while Riot promised we'd have it "by" 7/1 (which should mean yesterday anyway, but I digress)

ParthenrienJul 2, 20153 votes

This honestly has me a little salty. I live in Washington state, so I'm in Riot's timezone, but I was one of the first to sign up for the feature and I've been playing since 2010/2011. ;_; I even have exactly 10 champs left - Caitlyn Darius Graves Lissandra Lucian Talon Varus Zac Zyra Lulu

Riot, plz feed me.

S2C2Xd9KOyJul 2, 20153 votes

You will be getting a skin then, not a champion ;p

LowvyrJul 2, 20151 votes

No, they'll get a champion. You get a skin if you own all champs.

TheRisingKingJul 2, 20151 votes

No, they'll get a champion. You get a skin if you own all champs.

I'm pretty sure riot said that if you have 12 or less champs you get a skin I may be wrong though... I already got my champion (Irelia)

S2C2Xd9KOyJul 2, 20151 votes

You get a skin if you have 10 or under....

ApexTyranoJul 2, 20152 votes

On my Eu West account i got mystery champ Shen . But on my Na accounts i didnt get any mystery champs yet. Kappa

Ancestor007Jul 2, 20151 votes

I got MonkeyKing

PogsJul 2, 20151 votes

I got MissFortune . Seems like NA in unlucky.

gafrattJul 2, 20151 votes

RRRRR

SquidblimpJul 2, 20152 votes

I think they said that they wanted it all shipped today though, whereas with the skins before they said it would take a few days. I don't mind waiting, but that is what Riot said. I haven't gotten my champ yet, hope I get it soon! :)

faker fanJul 2, 20152 votes

will you get the free champ even if your offline, cause im really tired and i have to get up early?

GłacıesJul 2, 20151 votes

I'm happy for the mystery champ, I don't mind waiting a bit. Although, I will be a liiiittle salty if I get a 1350/ 3150 champion qq

Devack The HolyJul 2, 20151 votes

Not to beat a dead horse, but when someone says they'd do something by a certain time, and that time passes with nothing done, it will make people a little testy.

Riot said "by 7/1", and it's now 7/2 everywhere, and no word from riot on what happened. Hell, EU servers got theirs already. Why didn't NA?

As for who I have left:

Cassiopeia Draven Fizz Galio Graves Malzahar Maokai Nautilus Swain Vladimir MonkeyKing

But with my luck, I'll probably get Fizz, Cass, or Swain.

Ideally, I'd like Vlad, Naut, or Malz

TheRisingKingJul 2, 20151 votes

I think you may get a skin :p. I pretty sure riot said you get a skin if u have 12 or less champions left.

Devack The HolyJul 2, 20151 votes

Nope, got Cass.

F*cking called it, too...

Blaschko2Jul 2, 20151 votes

You called 6 champs out of 11.

Starblaster11Jul 2, 20151 votes

He called 3 champs out of 11 that he would most likely get and 3 out of 11 that he wanted to get the most.

Devack The HolyJul 4, 20151 votes

This.

faker fanJul 2, 20151 votes

Rengar Not bad

SachabotJul 2, 20151 votes

I feel conflicted about it. On one hand, free champion. I like free stuff. On the other, Khazix Nami RekSai are the only champions I don't have.

BolwinkelJul 2, 20152 votes

Then you will get a free skin instead of a free champion.

SachabotJul 2, 20151 votes

Which is silly. I don't own all the champions. Not that I object to free stuff.

Hi Ima DONGERJul 2, 20151 votes

If you guys haven't received it yet, try using a master ball, those pokeball aren't as effective.

Troll for TrumpJul 3, 20151 votes

tldr; riot stop adding "toxic" this "toxic" that to everything. -toxicity has nothing to do with player skill... do not remove end of ranked season rewards because a player is "toxic" -keep shaming "toxic players". -group up "toxic palyers". It is just like prison systems; Putting toxic people with other toxic people makes the issue worse. Place them with positive people instead please. Don't group the "gogetcancerandjumpintothecarribeansea etc." people with the "please stop typing and play" people. -why remove tribunal old system was fine. The new automated system basically treats every report; whether rage report or not as one and the same.
