and now everyone will be playing Viktor incorrectly and feed. This is going to suck

I had an idea for a TF rework if there is ever one. I don't have the details worked out, but his abilities will now work more with the 52 card deck. This is his ammo system for abilities, and even auto attacks, it also replaces his mana. His E will now be "shuffle". This causes him to replenish his cards. (Again, still workings n the details). His W now is the Ace card grower (not the name). He now has 4 cards to pick from, and they corespond to the four suits in a card deck. As an example, the diamonds will stun, the hearts will only attack allies, and heals them AND you. This is all that I have finished. Working idea! Post to add to the thought!

the free rotation, Episode One:

somewhere in valoran, in a place called the institute of war what? oh, i forgot about that. in an unnamed location, there is the richest company in runeterra. in that company there is someone hard at work, this is his story.

Soraka "so i uhhh, came here for the new job?"

the room was a dark office with a desk and a big window that was covered by grey blinds. the wall with the door was just more windows, they lead to another office with a similar desk, that room had a door that lead to the rest of the building.

[????] "good good, i have been needing a new secretary"

he spoke with a British accent that was somewhere between gentleman cho'gath and TotalBiscuit

Soraka "so, who exactly are you?"

[????] "well my dear, let me just step out of the shadows and show you, it is i."

Gnar "CORPORATE GNAR!!!"

he wore a grey business suit, and had black and grey slick fur, with a darker tuft slicked back on the top of his head. his ears were pointed backwards.

Soraka "and what is it you do here?"

Gnar "i'm in charge of all the free stuff, mostly just free champion weeks. but you know those extra bonus rp weeks, you have me to thank for them."

Soraka "oh yeah, like the one that you scheduled right after me and everyone else used up our gift cards?"

Gnar "exactly, my boss wanted to announce, and have it two weeks earlier, but i was luckily able to convince him otherwise."

Soraka "i'm sure everyone was so happy you did that. anyways, how exactly did you pick this week's free champions?"

Gnar "well, last week everyone kept dying a lot, and i mean 2/16/7 scores. i thought it was maybe because i only made one tank free. so to fix that i just picked a bunch of guys that are unkillable this week."

Soraka "don't you think "unkillable" is a little too far, you kinda got to have a heal for that. and voli doesn't even have a, wait. mundo's ability's cost health and, oh. at least renekton cant heal so much, darn it never mind. and then there is taric. looks like im going to have to tell my adc to build executioner's cal- not again. i guess your right, no one is dying this week"

Gnar "and to add to it, Nautilus got buffed, i was told he is now one of the best junglers out there, so i thought i would let people carry their teams with him. also, people complained that kalista hasn't been free enough yet, so i made her free again. finally, they need an easier champ to play, so i picked viktor"

Teemo panted heavily as he entered the bush, he could hear the zapping sound of Jinx’s gun right behind him. He looked around wildly and then abruptly closed his eyes tightly and stood still, hoping to proc his passive in time. The thick brush pricked his furry sides as he stood in his puddle of sweat, holding his breath so that the approaching Jinx won’t hear him.

Jinx entered the bush, her eyes full of malice and glee, “where are you little rat,” she mocked a devilish grin spreading across her face. Knowing Teemo was still in the bush she zapped towards the center, just narrowly missing his nose, but close enough that he felt the heat of it whizzing by.

Teemo glanced at his mana bar to see that he was completely out of mana, but so was Jinx, he hoped that he could get enough mana for his blind by the time Jinx got enough for her ‘Zap’.

Jinx tried to zap the bush again but all that came out was a tiny red glow from her gun, she threw it down in frustration and plopped down in the bush thinking of what to do next.

Teemo stared at the crazy blue haired marksman sitting within touching distance of him, his heart beating as quickly as a tick of ignite at the thought of possibly dying. He looked at her pony tails swish back and forth in the cool breeze, passing over the maze of bright blue cloud tattoos that plagued her body. She was hunched over with her elbow on her knee propping up her chin, he could hear her murmuring continuously to herself in alternate voices, which strangely enough made him feel a little sad for her. Maybe she was misunderstood like he was, he was cursed and hated by everyone on the Rift, even his own mother. The other yordles left him for that dumb brick of prehistoric pile of brown raptor shit Gnar. He didn’t understand what about him made people dislike him, not just dislike him but hate him religiously, with a passion never seen before. Teemo continued staring at the back of the crazy blue haired girl, then suddenly reached out and placed his paw on her shoulder. He froze, paw on shoulder, eyes on her back, soul leaving his body.

Jinx bolted upright at the touch of the small paw on her shoulder, she turned around slowly to find herself nose to nose with a small furry creature with...” WHAT THE ! “ ..SHE GOT TO HER FEET, SCREAMING. “ WHAT THE FRIG, FRUCK , WHAT THE HELL IS THAT. TEEMO STARED AT THE DISTRESSED MARKSMAN CONFUSED AND TERRIFIED. He then noticed that yes, he had his eyes open. He quickly closed them, smiled, then went invisible.

“Oh no you don’t, get back here…” ‘ Zaaaaaap!’

“ Owwwwww wtf, that burns, why the fu….” Teemo looked up to see bright glowing red eyes staring down at him. “ Hi?.” No response. “ I’m sorry that you have to see this, ummm. I didn’t realize, I’m so sorry. Feel free to kill me now if you want to, I won’t blame you, no one should have to see such a thing.” Teemo closed his eyes tightly awaiting his demise, but after 4 seconds of eye and butt clenching, he peeked to see the ADC sitting in a crossed leg position across from him. Opening his eyes fully and straightening his stance, he stared at the eyes staring at him stare at them staring at him.

Sitting cross legged, Jinx stared into the never before seen depths of Teemo’s eyes. At first it was scary, but now it was just fascinating. He was adorable, small and so cute, his eyes only made him more enchanting. He was so small in fact, that she was sitting down and yet she was still taller than him at his full height.

Teemo stood there, staring at the what looked like a dazed ADC, her eyes were glued to his like an Akali to squishies. Seeing her like this made him feel strange, she looked really.Really. Really.

Continued in the R version.
