The Free Rotation, Episode 4:

Gnar "The Lunar Revel was a success, even if i had to work with those two idiots, corporate Nasus and art master Malzahar."

Soraka "I'm sorry sir, who are they?"

Gnar "Ah yes, you haven't met them yet. Corporate Nasus is the guy in charge of all the sales. He is however, extremely annoying, he thinks he is better than us all because he got the boss's old job."

Soraka "Oh yeah, i think i have heard his slogen. "Respect my Cain and ill dunk these prices in half." Makes me wanna buy from him."

Gnar "Don't talk like that! everyone knows i'm the main reason people buy champions with rp, not his silly little sales. Now about Malzahar, he is the guy in charge of entering the other dimensions, and capturing the other versions of champions, that we then use for skins. Be careful around him, his pet can be a bit nippy.

Soraka "So, what about this weeks free champions?"

Gnar "Well, i normally don't take requests, but this one Summoner has impressed me. So for him, i made Wukong and Aatrox free.

Soraka "That was actually nice of you."

Gnar "Its really more of a pr stunt, but they did fit with who should be free this week. From there, a lot of these champions are the subject of controversy. Either from a rework or a nerf, a lot of players have been angry. This week will show them that they are still good.

Sona "!!!"

Gnar "There is an uproar in the room of freedom? Take me there now."

They ran into the room in which corporate gnar kept all the champions who aren't free.

Mordekaiser "I..... Don't know how much longer i can go on."

Gnar "Mordekaiser, whats wrong?"

Akali "Its dfg, without it, Morde just cant survive. Plus, we never got to say our goodbyes."

Katarina "I really don't know how much longer Morde can hold on like this. A lot of us are really hurting since it was removed."

Ahri "Guys, guys look, i throw my orb, and i move so fast. weeeeeeeeeeee, im so speedy. I feel great."

Cassiopeia "Except Ahri, she is doing great, just great."

Gnar "I think you may be over doing it a little guys, most of you are just fine without it. Don't worry Morde, soon you will be buffed and people will want to play you again."

Mordekaiser "Will i, once again, be able to... One shot the adc and use his soul as a weapon of mass destruction with my hard metal to destroy the entire enemy team single handily as they scream in pain?"

Gnar "Uuhhhh, yeah, lets go with that. If you guys really need to say goodbye to Deathfire grasp, i might be able to let Soraka arrange something next week?"

Soraka "You would actually do that for them?"

Gnar "Unhappy champions leads to them messing with stuff, which leads to issues during the free rotation. Sometimes they even break things about the whole league. Last time Hecarim got really upset about something, he broke Maokai, and we had to disable Maokai for days because he was becoming untargetable when Hecarim ran into him. Rather not have that happen again."

Soraka "I suppose you are right sir, i will get right on the preparations."

MEANWHILE:

Veigar "They will pay for what they have done, when they let me out, i shall make my escape. I will go after they who have killed my best friend, and i will make them suffer."

Caitlyn "Are you making small talk with your self again?"

Veigar "IS THAT A SHORT JOKE!!!!!!"

it was a combination of: who fit the theme best, who looked best in a suit and who i thought would make the best stories.

Gnar strikes me as a bit less sophisticated than he is depicted here! Lol

Gnar "SHUGI SHUGI SHUGI! Shoo shoo? BAHNAH! Haygo, vaygo!" Rammus "...Ok." Gnar "Mo'pay."

Tentacle Love19 votes

Just remember, everyone, if you're considering trying out Evelynn, it takes a lot of effort.

To move like that in heels.

I never understood these, can someone explain?

Faith Breaker1 votes

We should expect to see these champs (and the increase in these % of things) the next week. For example, Jinx is free this week. Imagine see a 35% increase in missed global ults.

Serevas3 votes

Fun fact, the bluebuff throw refunds 10 mana and 1 second of it's cd and red buff applies the burn and slow of redbuff

WHY NO YORICKYorick item 3070 item 3070

toxıc sIut1 votes

Yorick has a fundamentally broken and toxic kit. He isn't going to be on the free rotation, ever. Riot has said this several times.

Serevas4 votes

Technically he's not on the rotation because he's on the list to be reworked, not because of his kit, else Teemo would never be free. That's fundamentally toxic.

DrathTurtle3141 votes

Wrong kind of toxic dude. Poison mechanic does not equal the kind of toxic that would result in a champ being removed from free rotation. :)

Teemo fits both profiles luckily. :P
