Bilgewater continues with a new temporary game mode, the death of a champ, and more -- Folks discussed part 3 of the lore, which features MF.


Lore lore lore! Come get’cha lore!

Speaking of lore, after putting to rest a tech issue that kept us from updating lore on the site a while back, we added new-format bios to the various Bilgewater champs’ info pages.

Colorblind players raised issues they’ve had with Tahm Kench and the new HUD, with Rioters jumping in to discuss and share plans to address.

New episode of DRIVE, a series that gives an in-depth look at the backgrounds of individual LCS players -- This week follows C9 Sneaky.


You may have missed...

We have temporarily enabled the ability to toggle between Summoner’s Rift music and Bilgewater music on SRU -- Check out how here!


The roffles

For your dose of fun: Luck3d0ut kicked off a thread for folks to draw their most hated champ in paint, then have everyone else try to guess it.

Whatever happened to that Q&A set up Riot was doing a month ago? People would send in Q's and then Riot would post answers (only done once but a Rioter said they had over 300 Qs they wanted to answer).

Meanwhile in top lane, Yorick is still no where to be found. Is he the deadest champ in all of League?

They know that there's a problem with Yorick, but how can they possibly address it without a full rework. And a full rework takes time. Don't worry, they will remember Yorick Mori. TL;DR just wait

You're speaking to me like I don't understand the concept of a rework. I understand it takes time but how long has Yorick been out? I'm just stating an observation. I haven't seen Yorick played in years.

Oh yeah, they've posted news about that. Basically, they're working on Poppy and Taric atm. They were working on Yorick, but the idea was dropped and I don't know if they've picked him back up yet.
