I'm a blade of grass in real life, and the entire rift is covered with grass. I feel incredibly honored.

Jax jaximus skin: occasional joke of "here's to you kid" in honor of a make-a-wish foundation child.

item 1075 item 1056 item 1054 Dorans set, iirc, references an original game designer for league that left the team early/before release.

(Apparently dedicating an item after someone after they left is offensive to some of her fans, idk)

item 3143 named after Robin 'Randuin' Liao. Who left at the same time as Shurelia

item 3116 Rylai is also the name of an ice-based hero on the original DotA, which League is a successor of.

During one April Fools day, (2012 I believe) item 3077 was changed to "Tamat" for the Rioter of the same name.

There are more, but these are the lesser known ones.
