#A Corporate Teaser:

Zed "I messed up, I messed up real big."

Kled "Huh, what. who are you?"

Zed "I am Zed, master of-"

Kled "Yeah, no I don't really care. Why are you perturbing my tranquility?"

Zed "So I had this apprentice, he was better than all the others and I-"

Kled "Get to the point. I'm getting bored, AND YOU WON'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M BORED!"

Zed "Well, he's coming to kill me and take my job as leader. You are the only Kled I could find and a Kled is the only one who can stop him."

Kled "Yeah, but I don't really care. I'm only here to protect my property. And this guy can walk through walls so, no damage done. NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!"

Zed "Wait, after he kills me. He was also planning on killing all white collar people, such as you. Some millennial thing about hating the system."

Kled "YOUTHS! Alright, lets go kill us a-"

Braum "What are you doing?"

Kled "Trying to protect this company?"

Braum "No, this."

Kled "Oh, you mean the story. Yeah, I'm in this weeks. Feels good."

Braum "No, no story. We are protesting to save net neutrality."

Kled "Wait, aren't we the ones paying off the politicians to remove the damn thing?"

Braum "Yes but, players do not need know this. Now pack it up and finish this next week."

Zed "But wait, wasn't the protest last week?"

Braum "Do you want be hit over head with shield? If you no stop talking, that what happen. Now goodbye."

Meanwhile:

Gnar "Alright, I'm feeling generous. Time to make some champions free that everyone has been wanting free."

Braum "No, we protesting, no one get what they want." "Hits ten random buttons and by "coincidence," hits Braum's button."

Gnar "Gasp!" "Gets triggered so hard, he starts having a seizure."

Kled Taliyah ??

First! (Sorry, I've just always wanted to say that)

Spartan DMG 02Jul 17, 20173 votes

I don't get why people keep complaining about Taliyah, just buy the champ. She is a lot of fun, and she is amazing once mastered. I'm just tired of all the whining!!!

6300 IP is a big gamble for a champion that you're not really sure Fits you.
It'd obviously be better to actually be able to try her out in the champion rotation instead of buying her directly.

Especially since getting 6300 IP takes a while to get If you don't play lots of games everyday.

Spartan DMG 02Jul 17, 20172 votes

Ok, I get that and how she hasn't been on free rotation in a while, but guys stop complaining and be patient!!!

InklingsAreLegalJul 17, 20179 votes

We've been patient for over a year.

What he said. Since Taliyah was released (all of the following also applies to Kled); Kayle, one of, if not THE least free champ has been free TWICE, AND was given away to EVERYONE FOR FREE. Leads me to conclude there is a problem somewhere.

Someone a while back suggested 'bad Free randomizer software', if that were the case you'd think they would have noticed and fixed it by now. Maybe they purposely removed her from the rotation? If so, why haven't they told us. Yorick they came out and said 'there's issues, we're working on it'. Taliyah? Not a peep.

grarrrgJul 18, 20171 votes

*Note, since I'm sure someone will feel the need to point it out: Kayle is least free champion that is actually in the rotation. Tristana/Alistar need not apply.

BabyNaixJul 17, 20171 votes

She's pretty expensive, and she is not as satisfying to play as someone like ahri or vegiar or brand who has a lot of damage. It would be nice to try her out to see if she is fun.

ItsbeghdevJul 18, 20171 votes

A lot of people would disagree with that, but a lot of people wouldn't, and you don't know which camp you're in until you've played her, so yeah.

BabyNaixJul 18, 20171 votes

In the mean time you can try out twisted fate. She has very similar play style as him. Wave clear q, utility w, roaming r. TF has more burst and pick potential, Taliyah has better kiting and zoning.

Braum Arent't you that octopus's boyfriend? Caitlyn When your tanky support doesn't help Karma STOP GOING TOP Lux Not playing mid Nocturne TACTICAL GANK INCOMING Ryze Riot is gonna rework this guy again. Just look at his win rate Swain BIRD IS A WORD Tryndamere Boxer pete officially owns this guy Udyr No comment. Vayne OG tank killer

AgeOfTheMageJul 18, 20172 votes

For cait its the other way around, when playing braum I always get a caitlyn that ults AT POINT BLANK RANGE INSTEAD OF PROCING MY STUN.

ItsbeghdevJul 18, 20171 votes

are you sure that happened multiple times

P3NANC3Jul 17, 20173 votes

@Riot - I think it's an achievement on your part to make someone who doesn't want to play Taliyah nor Kled, notice that these two champions never seem to be in the free champion rotation.

AgeOfTheMageJul 18, 20171 votes

oh, look, vayne AND caitlyn are free this week ._. how lovely, oh, AND tryndamere, even better.

G1840Jul 18, 20171 votes

I thought that Kayn would be out for free rotation this week. I thought it was a thing that new champs came out on free rotation after their week release (Kled, Camille, Ivern, Rakan, Xayah, etc. Were on free rotation after their release week if I remember correctly) Kinda wanted to try him out.[zombie-nunu-bummed]

ItsbeghdevJul 18, 20173 votes

Pretty sure you're expecting him a week early, or two. Champs are on free three weeks after release.

G1840Jul 18, 20171 votes

Ahh ok. I have a horrible memory. Thanks for the reply!
