The reason the Draven joke failed...

Is because THEY DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH! Attach a Draven head to the jungle creeps, Draven announcer, Turrets being giant Draven heads, Draven tag to everyone's names, LEAGUE OF DRAVEN LOGO, EVERY SPLASH HAVING A DRAVEN FACE PHOTO-SHOPPED ON TO IT! If you're gonna do something like this, you might as well over do it!

Yeah, you're honestly right. For the Bilgewater Event, we got frigging Gangplank as the announcer. Come on. Do you know how awesome a League of Draven announcer pack would be? Sorry Rito, grandma isn't cutting it anymore, I've already switched to our Chocolate God Blakinola.

I await the downvotes from buttmad URF whiners that can't read.

I think it was the 2D Draven heads on other champions that made it kind of lame. They should have been 3D like the minions.

Actualy, i didn't like it because it was a lazy work. it could be so much better!!! The ingame draven heads were like damn stickers... it was badly made

Screw that! We can go overboard and force players to have a Draven face in their own computers! Replacing desktop icons, desktop backgrounds, their login, the works. XD

I agree. We needed a Draven face on splash arts. Baron Draven. Dragon Draven. Towers needed Draven. Draven and Draven instead of Victory and Defeat.

I just wanted 5v5 draven only :(

Honestly, the event just felt incredibly half-assed.

I mean, they could have at the very least made the Draven Heads turn with the champion a little bit so that they don't look quite as awkward.

Give everyone ten free hextech chest and keys, and they all have draven inside

Billy VoHagen4/2/2016, 8:39:23 PM6 votes

No. That's not the reason.

They should have made it an actual mode, that worked like One For All Mirror, but instead of voting on who to play, everyone is automatically Draven. That at least would have been fun for a couple of games before it got old, same as URF.

The Draven heads on the champions should've been the same as the ones on the minions. Imagine Cho'gath or Zac, full size, lulu ult'd, with that kind of Draven head.

My biggest problem was that EVERYTHING COST MONEY. Once upon a time when events like this ran you could earn icons and such by PLAYING THE GAME. This "event" - Icons 250RP or yours for the low low price of BUY SOMEONE ELSE A SKIN!

Usually I'm a strong Riot cheerleader (except when it comes to Dominion and Mordekaiser), but they really seem to be losing touch and focusing way too much on bilking $$

Enrovy4/3/2016, 3:28:55 AM5 votes

To be honest I still don't get the hate on this event, is it just because they didn't have urf? But they already announced that...

ACTUALLY MAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOORRRRR DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEN HAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAA

add in like draven one for all, draven urf, draven ascension, draven nemesis, etc.

Why not go further? Have rito come to each of our houses, rip the faces off of our animals and replace it with draven face skins -Inject us with a DNA enhancer that adds a new strand to our DNA which will make all of our children from then on look like Draven -Hire engineers to blow up the moon so that it will take the form of a giant draven head -Use the hadron collider to form a giant black hole in the sillhouette of draven and swallow the entire universe

I can literally do this all day most of my draven day fantasies involve time travel and yaoi fanservice so I wont add to this.

Something like definitely not a turret or definitely not a baron, thinks like this would be great

GenghisEmo4/3/2016, 6:40:13 AM3 votes

The real reason it was "Half Assed". It felt like some Chinese or Mexican knock off. No offence to em, but you get the reference.

(kind of like those wanabe iPods that aren't iPods and are made in places like China or Mexico).

If it came with a Lore Update or something, that would have been cool.

Maybe a pissed off Amumu, since you know, Amumu invited us all to his party, but Draven cock blocked.

The Ecdysiast4/3/2016, 5:58:52 AM3 votes

The reason it failed on its own was that they didn't even really make the free champ rotation all Draven. That would've been good.

Mistress Blissy4/3/2016, 1:16:03 AM3 votes

Honestly, the only reason I feel the Draven Bobble April Fools failed is because they're just fixed on the characters faces... They don't bobble or move or anything so it just looks kinda tacky.

TheRealBaz4/3/2016, 7:36:27 AM2 votes

but then they should have used the mod not the low res picture and made it only last a day

Pale Pirate4/3/2016, 1:46:39 PM2 votes

Yes, and also because the whole urf thing wasn't communicated well enough.

THEY DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH!

But since april foul's is meant for fun, lets not take it too far. Photoshop takes time and effort, and they want to have fun too, doing it.

However they could add some more Draven to it without effort. Turrets did need it, also the client didn't have enough draven. Imho, it would be the funniest if they overkilled it.

MrPokeher4/3/2016, 3:39:52 PM2 votes

TBH i think the reason it failed ( even though it was announced URF was not happening) was because people wanted URF mode regardless of how "unoriginal" it was. It happend the past two years so ppl started to expect it. And lets be honest who really reads the forums if ur just a casual player or just play arams now that ur lvl 30. URF for myself was a great game mode just because it was fun, no one really cared if u won or lost it was all about the fun. I still think RIOT shld make a game mode where its all these random game modes that have happend in the past and it picks one at random or something along those lines. Welp there is my reasoning behind why it sucked.
