Here's what you may have missed while you were busy climbing the ranked ladder:



Moar Bilgewater

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.


Fighter items

Fluppets kicked off a thread discussing the overlap between fighter and ADC items -- Meddler jumped in with our plans for future fighter items.


Between Two Turrets

New Between Two Turrets, a series for ya’ll to talk to individual Rioters about LoL n’ life, featuring game designer Morello.


Communicado

Lots of conversation in response to Ghostcrawler attempting to give insight on why we sometimes don’t communicate about what we’re working on.


Aint no party like a colorblind party cause that party don’t see purple

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.


Lyte’s ask.fm

/u/Teps started a thread to discuss Lyte’s ask.fm answer on the upcoming new client and how it relates to the scale / priority of other projects.


#1 top laner

Folks discussed changes that could be made to Darius after Meddler jumped into a thread to confirm that his update is coming in a few patches.


DRIVE: Sneaky

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.


Coming up

Tune into lolesports tomorrow (July 31) at 12PM PDT for our Black Market Brawlers live showmatch!

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?
