#A Corporate Matter Episode: I was not prepared!

Gnar "And done. All finished up and ready to go home right on time."

Soraka "Awfully slow day today."

Gnar "Well, it is a Friday."

Soraka "That it is. So, you ready for the eclipse on Monday?"

Gnar "No, the eclipse is just a hoax set up by corporations like us to sell glasses and hotel tickets."

Soraka "Really? What a bummer."

Gnar "No, you haven't been on Runeterra long enough to know this. But trust me, you don't want to see how the people react when there's an eclipse."

Soraka "I guess you're right. Well, see you next week."

Gnar "Let me just grab my-" "Knocks over figure."

Gnar "Awww, dammit."

Soraka "What happened?"

Gnar "Nothing, I just knocked over my Warring Kingdoms Azir Figure on the button that posts the New free champion rotation post. Guess people get to find out a bit early this week."

Soraka "Think anyone will be upset."

Gnar "Probably not, it's got Kled on it. Except maybe that one weird guy that writes about us."

"King Dellron slowly cries in a corner as his whole plan for Monday is ruined."

Whats with the early free champ rotation? are ya'll always gunna do it on sat now or twice a week like the sales? or is this just temporary?

grarrrgAug 19, 20173 votes

And for the past how many years they would announce Monday, go live Tuesday, but the last week it went live Monday. Go home rito, you're drunk.

Baron BarianAug 21, 20173 votes

There. Kled is free this week. Happy now?

yay kennen and kled, but why ashe and garen? and why did they announce the rotation so early?

TheLegalNinjaAug 21, 20171 votes

Probably becuase the rotation now hits on monday instead of tuesday

AmmyDaroachAug 21, 20172 votes

so today be monday and the free rotation didn't change so that means A. this is a mistake or B. last week's rotation came in too early but still this means they put up the free rotation post 4 days early rito the heck

I'm happy I get to try Vi before I get her. I hope she's as fun to play as she looks.

grarrrgAug 19, 20171 votes

Standard Vi combo: Q> slam into them Wait for Auto-punch E> big punch It lets you trigger the W as fast as possible.

InfernapeAug 19, 20171 votes

I've always wondered why Garen's difficulty meter was 5/10...

Drinky McPeePeeAug 20, 20171 votes

Last time riot was this early, they weren't

MoonnancyAug 20, 20171 votes

Ooh. I always wanted to try Zyra!

SkourchAug 21, 20171 votes

Yes Kled! I have been wanting to try him but have been saving up for the chroma sales that are hopefully coming soon!

Mokuto BunshiAug 21, 20171 votes

Best build for kled: Black cleaver> Titanic hydra> Gargoils(pop when dsmounted) (Yoummus if behind)(duskblade for advanced users)>frozen mallet> ninja tabis. HIGHLY gold effecient, good in team fights, easy remounts used by best kleds NA and can bust a adc from 100 to 0 in 2 and 1/2 seconds or less. HAVE FUN!

Win elo and KLEEEEEEED! Kled

Dear Riot i seem to notices the free to play champs seem to show up a lot during Arurf can you please fix this? its getting stale rerolling and getting these champs every other time.

Nighthawk4800Aug 22, 20171 votes

6 top laners and 1 mid laner gj rito (Actually really excited for kled xd)

grarrrgAug 22, 20171 votes

I think Jayce is the other mid. I would say Zilean/Zyra, but those are the only 'obvious' supports.

anankeAug 22, 20171 votes

Kled Kled Kled

grarrrgAug 22, 20171 votes

Hmmm, now that Taliyah and Kled have finally made return appearances... Top 3 longest since last free: Ivern - 19 weeks Camille - 18 weeks Cho'Gath - 18 weeks (and, as always, honorable mention to Alistar and Tristana)
