Unfortunately, there will be no new episode of A Corporate Matter this week. My apologies to anyone who was excited for a new one.

See you next week.

BEYOND THE VOID: UPDATE 7/4/16

The second season of Beyond the Void will begin in October. Until then, there will be a mini-series taking place during the season finale of Beyond the Void. It will be focusing on what happened to cities such as Zaun and Piltover before and after the ice reached them. I know the mini-series sounds pretty boring, but it will turn out to be more entertaining than the summary I just gave (The summary was to give you guys a rough outline).

The mini-series will have 6 episodes in its first season and will begin in a few weeks (probably the last Monday of July).

Thank you for being so patient and have a great fourth of July!

SoirealJul 4, 201613 votes

Necro Warrior87Jul 5, 20162 votes

and unchained alistar is the youtube one. for some reason im still not getting it yet D:

Votable JesterJul 5, 20162 votes

Some of the old codes no longer work. Just send an email with a screenshot of the code you got to player support, and they should unlock the skin for you.

SoaroeJul 5, 20162 votes

If you paste a specific message into the technical support description and fill out all the rest of your information, unchained Alistar is automatically deposited into your account along with the champion itself. I did it a month ago.

KidfelizJul 5, 20161 votes

:3 I'm not a bot tho... rip

SoirealJul 5, 20162 votes

but everyone knows that, that is the twitter skin so its not new news at all

Yeah, I've been playing a bunch of Thresh recently, been meaning to play some Brad, but Thresh is too fun to stop lol

Time for all the roaming Bard to leave their adc's to die.

Arkyeus1Jul 5, 20163 votes

ima try nightblue's graves jungle build Graves item 1400

SebetaiJul 5, 20163 votes

I want to see Irelia in the free rotation.

LostFr0stJul 4, 20162 votes

People better not be surprised when they see Teemo bot lane this week.

There'll either be a bunch of frustrated Graves adcs last-hitting or no one but Teemo to viably farm vs Jinx on the free-rotation.

PyroMissileJul 4, 20161 votes

And the rise of non-AA based champs top...

LostFr0stJul 4, 20162 votes

yeah. At least this week has a half decent mix for ARAM. Last week was really crappy. Especially when Ashe Heimerdinger Corki ended up on the same team; which happened far too often for my tastes.

asn1814Jul 4, 20162 votes

How is Teemo's difficulty so high? You just press R + E to win.

DeathBot666Jul 4, 20163 votes

Because if you press R and E all you do is throw a shroom and turn off your poison.

TFBaamJul 4, 20168 votes

its not a toggle

ShadowX74Jul 4, 20163 votes

Yeah, you can't even press e

DeathBot666Jul 5, 20162 votes

I was attempting to make a joke.

BluePaw3Jul 4, 20169 votes

The difficulty meters are usually inaccurate. According to them, Udyr is more difficult to play than LeeSin .

Jayle27Jul 4, 20161 votes

but, that's kinda true though.....

Wind TempestJul 5, 20168 votes

You are really really really really REALLY dumb if you think udyr is harder than Lee Sin .

VoraciousXJul 5, 20162 votes

Play Teemo, expect 5 man ganks with sweeper alterations, and die. Teemo's difficulty IS high. Unless they leave you alone and then you actually get to do something. Teemo isn't really that good right now due to a lot of true sight things going around. Sweeper Alteration even DISABLES your shrooms. Though if you play Nashor's Guinsoos Wit's End Teemo, you might can expect some fun things, depending on the matchup and how far you can get before you get put behind.

R+Q= [zombie-brand-mindblown]

DarthWatermeloneJul 5, 20162 votes

Riot! Plz give us our Darius and Jayce in the rotation already! If teemo has made it, why hasn't darius? Love , me

astrophoraJul 5, 20162 votes

Bard main here. It'll be interesting to see how many times he gets sniped from me, then to see how terrible they are xD. At least thresh is my second main, and he'll make any bard cry. But the other fun thing will be seeing free thresh's who miss every q and don't know how to use their ult

DarkArcher112Jul 5, 20162 votes

support mains are gonna be happy just like me. ty Bard Thresh

QuasiStickfigureJul 5, 20162 votes

Weird question here, but is there a reason Wukong is right after Yi? If it's alphabetical, shouldn't Wukong be at the bottom?

Votable JesterJul 5, 20162 votes

He's put in as though his name is "Monkey King" rather than Wukong. I think it's a bit of an old joke that they did.

merrymonstervvvJul 5, 20162 votes

no one here should play teemo in champion rotation

Necro Warrior87Jul 6, 20161 votes

to bad, already main him

BigBadThuudJul 7, 20162 votes

RITO please... Just make Urf a regular game mode and for your weekend play "All for Urf" or "HexaUrf for One" 6 on 6 Urf all for one. Call it "The Gauntlet"

avatarkaiJul 5, 20161 votes

WHY ALWAYS BARD FREE WHAT EVER HAPPEND TO IREALIA OR YORICK MABYE RENAKTON BUT U CHOSE TEEMO FREE TO PLAY???[zombie-brand-facepalm]

Roit GumsJul 5, 20164 votes
