#A Corporate Matter Episode: The Great Minion Mystery

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo hosting emergency Corporate meeting, All Corporates come now, bring no one."

Later, in the meeting room:

Lucian "What is this all about?"

LeeSin "Look man, I haven't gotten any sleep in the past week. Preseason hasn't even started yet and I'm swamped. THE PLANTS ARE A GOOD IDEA, OKAY!"

Braum "You think you swamped. Who do you think has to deal with all the complaints and ideas that they send in after seeing your work."

Gnar "I swear, if you have brought another army to come and kill us. I'm quitting this Rito forsaken job."

Kled "I hope we get to kill someone. I'VE BEEN GETTING BORED!"

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo gather you all here today for grave situation. All our minions are disappearing faster than we can make them."

Nasus "Really, you interrupt my very important work for this?"

Gnar "Ha, as if you ever had important work. Everything is all automatic for you these days. No brains required."

Nasus "Oh, you wanna go pipsqueak? I will dunk you so hard."

Gnar "Bring it."

DrMundo "Stop it! Corporate Mundo remember now why he keep all employee separate, they fight like toddlers who only have one gaming controller."

Gnar "So, why are these minions so important anyway?"

Lucian "Because, minions are the glue that holds League together. Without them, everything else will surely fail. First blood would decide the game. Gangplank would be so depressed I'm not sure what he would do with that gun. All attempts to take towers would turn into a suicide bombing. And we are not prepared for all the offensive jokes that would spawn."

LeeSin "Plus, minions allow unpowered champions to break even with overpowered ones. Without them, I would have to Balance champions like Sona."

DrMundo "Exactly, so we need to figure out where they are all going."

Kayle "And when we find out who is behind this, I will ban them harder than Tyler1."

Some time later:

Gnar "So, why are we just lying here in the middle of nowhere again?"

DrMundo "Shhhh, we are waiting for Minion to come by."

item 3060 "Doo doo do dwee doo do. Off to be a sacrifice so more important people can get stronger."

Lucian "There one is, ok guys. We need to quietly follow it and see where it goes."

Nasus "MUST GET STACKS!" "Dunks the minion."

item 3060 "Well this was sooner than I expected. It is good to be of use." "Dies."

LucianDrMundoKledGnarKayleLeeSinBraum "Stares at Corporate Nasus with shock."

Gnar "WHAT DID YOU GO AND DO THAT FOR?"

Nasus "I ain't letting someone else steal my cs."

DrMundo "Back to hiding everyone. Big doggy employee, do that again and Corporate Mundo put cleaver through your skull."

Some time later:

Annie "Lalalala, Oooh, this seems like a perfect place for a picnic."

KayleKledGnarLeeSinBraumNasusLucianDrMundo "Shhhhhhhhhh."

LeeSin "Go away kid, you are going the scare the minions."

Annie "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! MOM, THERE IS A BUNCH OF WEIRD MEN LYING TOGETHER IN THE BUSHES!"

Kayle "HEY, I'M A WOMEN!"

Nasus "You are?"

Kayle "YES!" "Smacks Corporate Nasus over the back of the head."

After a while, another minion eventually comes. They follow it for some time until it goes through a barricade.

LeeSin "Why are we stopping?"

Lucian "There is a barricade up ahead. And we can't possibly get past it. It's armed to the teeth."

Braum "Have no fear, Corporate Braum's shield can get us through."

DrMundo "Don't be madder than Mundo. Those be Doom Bots. They will annihilate us all."

Kayle "Yeah, your shield will do nothing against them. Not even my ult lasts long enough for us to do anything to them."

Gnar "And Bewitching Morgana is too."

Kayle "Ok, maybe we should attack them."

Kled "I agree, CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGE!"

Gnar "Oh my Rito, he just ran in."

Lucian "Well, he is on his own now. Look, there is another minion over there. Let's follow that one."

They follow that minion until they run into another, even stronger, barricade. Then they find another minion and it eventually leads to another stronger barricade. The cycle continues until the sun goes down.

Gnar "I give up, there are barricades all over this forest. Let's just go home and accept our defeat.

LeeSin "Hang on, I think I know where they are all going. Follow me, I can get us around the barricades."

A few minutes of running through the forest later:

Gnar "Has it occurred to anyone else that we are letting a blind guy lead the way?"

LeeSin "I have a good sense of direction."

Morgana "Stop right there."

A bunch of lights turn on around them. They are surrounded on all sides.

Gnar "Well, you weren't wrong, Corporate Lee Sin. You got us here all right. RIGHT INTO DOOM BOT CITY!"

Nasus "And it looks like Bewitching Tristana and Bewitching Morgana are leading them."

Lucian "And that is where all the minions are going. Right into that bubbling cauldron."

Tristana "Alright Doom Bots, put them next to the other one."

Brand "Hehehehe."

Chogath "Right away."

Braum "Oh hey, Corporate Kled. I am glad to see you are still alive."

Kled "Yeah, they just perma cc'ed me and brought me here. BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIGHT LIKE THE COWARDS THEY ARE!"

Morgana "You guys arrived at just the right time. We have finally gathered enough minions to summon our master."

Tristana "Be prepared, because here he comes."

The cauldron starts shaking and acting crazy. Out of it spawns the evilest creature anyone has ever laid eyes on.

Teemo "Hi, I'm Teemo."

I just played a ranked game, they had MF support. Our Cait and Zyra fed like there was no tomorrow

PhilipN1 votes

Yeah, that's what's been going on at Worlds as well...Cait/Zyra turned out to be an OP duo, but then MF support turned out to be an even-more-OP counter to Zyra.

But I'll tell you the truth--I laughed a bit when I saw Cait/Zyra being played at worlds, just because I'd just accidentally discovered that they have great synergy in bronze, with the Cait traps protecting the Zyra plants (just put a snaptrap under a plant, and watch the bronze players fail to resist the temptation to step on them XD)

KitsuneChaos181 votes

Hmm... if I'm ever forced to play adc or support I might try that, sounds hilarious!

People who judge like this are stifling to the game. How do you suppose diversity happens if people don't experiment with roles and builds?

If they are going to make him support fix his ult and his passiveitem 2049

Itsbeghdev1 votes

who?

grarrrg3 votes

Well, he said "him", and it presumably concerns the current free rotation, which, oddly enough, only has 3 "him"s in it. I'm going to outright exclude Rumble, as he isn't 'support' at all. Blitzcrank is not listed as a "support", despite often being played as one, I could see how his Ult is annoying, not so much the Passive.

So I'm going to go with Ivern, and his wacky-crazy "not Jungling"-Jungling passive. I don't really see all that much wrong with Daisy though. She's still less scary than Tibbers.

Daisy and Tibbers both have their own uses. Tibbers is pretty much mostly there for the stun.

EvilUnicornLord1 votes

And burst damage.

And burst damage.

Of course, Ivern and Annie have extremely different playstyles.

grarrrg1 votes

Different uses yes, but Tibbers still wins the scary contest.
