A Corporate Matter: Episode 33.

Janna "This is Forecast Janna Reporting in. It seems that the jungle mobs have had enough. They are rising up and attempting a total takeover. Will they succeed and become our overlords, or will someone find a compromise. Tune in at eleven to find out the thrilling conclusion of this story, unless we all die before then."

Soraka "Hey Boss, have you heard the news? It seems that the-"

Gnar "BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES, PREPARE FOR WAR! I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME, BUT THEY WOULDN'T LISTEN."

Soraka "Sir, are you ok?"

Gnar "I NEED SOMEONE TO GUARD MY LIFE, QUICK, WHERE IS POOL PARTY RENEKTON?"

Soraka "He is at the howling abyss sir."

Gnar "Why is he there? That is about the last place i would have thought to see him."

Soraka "He has always wanted to battle there. But couldn't because his main strength couldn't be used there. Now that they allow recall animations. Him and his big chair are winning like crazy."

Gnar "Who is gonna guard my life now?"

Soraka "Well, Guard Dog Warwick is just in the other room. Gentleman Kog'Maw is making tea in the kitchen, but i don't know how good he is vs jungle mobs. What with that max damage cap and all."

Sona "..."

Soraka "And there is you. Yeah, everyone always runs when you start playing music, so you can save us."

Sona "..."

Gnar "Ok, this is no time for well made insults at each other."

Warwick "Boss, they are here. Time for- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Gnar "WARWICK, NOOOOOOOOOO!"

KogMaw "WHATS GOING ON, WHY IS THERE A LITTLE KRUG IN THE BATHROOM? IT BIT ME IN UNSAVORY PLACES. THE LITTLE ONES HURT A LOT MORE THAN YOU WOULD THINK"

Gnar "THE JUNGLE MOB REVOLUTION, WE ARE ALL DOOMED. Its seems that they killed Guard Dog Warwick as well."

KogMaw "Why is there a floating mask above him?"

Gnar "Warick, you are a wolf, not a bandicoot. You don't get to see a floating mask when you die." "Shoos floating mask away."

[???} "You will regret that."

Gnar "Well, that was weird. But it is a problem for another time."

Soraka "Sir, we are surrounded."

KogMaw "SOMEONE CALL BILLY BURKE, HE WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO!"

Gnar "SONA, DO SOMETHING!"

Sona "..."

Gnar "NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR HURT FEELINGS. WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE BECAUSE YOU ARE A LITTLE UPSET!"

Teemo "I would help you, but sadly i am trapped in this cage. AHHHHHHHH, THE RAPTORS CAN FIT THROUGH THE BARS. HELP ME, THEY HURT SO MUCH!"

Gnar "They aren't attacking. Well, except for Recon Teemo. What are they waiting for?"

KogMaw "They are chanting. I think they are summoning their most powerful monster."

Gnar "Welp, we are all dead. Nice knowing you guys."

Soraka "I see the crowd parting, here it comes. ITS A, ITS A, ITS A SCUTTLE CRAB!"

Gnar "Hahah, for a second you guys had me worried something big was coming. This thing can't even- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Soraka "ITS SCARY WHEN ITS MAD."

Gnar "I AM GLAD THIS THING IS NORMALLY A PACIFIST. MY ATTACKS DO NOTHING TO IT! SONA PLEASE, IF WE LIVE YOU CAN BE FREE, JUST HELP ME."

summoner 30 "Alright my servants, halt your attacks and let the head dude through."

Gnar "Are you the Poro King?"

summoner 30 "No, i am the Baron Nashor. Of course i am the Poro king. I also rule over all of these mobs, because i am the only one who can speak English."

Gnar "Why are you all so furious with everyone?"

summoner 30 "Well my bro. The company known as Tencent Global has done this. They use something called the Brother Cell in all of their products. It affects us Jungle mobs differently than the rest of you. Tencent Global owns your company. We heard that someone named Gnar was in charge, but now know that you are the wrong one."

Gnar "Yeah, you are looking for Gentleman Gnar. It seems we share a hatred of him. The brother cell huh, is that why you sound just like Brolaf?"

summoner 30 "Yes, he is who it is derived from. We came to rescue him and make a cure for ourselves. Truth is, we don't like being so angry."

Gnar "Well, i hope you find him and go back to being big and nice."

summoner 30 "One more thing. My jungle mob bro's are tired of just being used for gold and not getting any recognition. Could you talk to someone about that?"

Gnar "If you don't attack me again, sure. How does summoner icons sound?"

summoner 30 "Brah, that sounds amazing. But make sure they only cost RP. We don't want them to be some cheap thing that no one uses." "Walks away and takes his army with him."

Soraka "Well, now i have to attempt to bring Guard Dog Warwick back to life. Come here, let mamma heal you up."

Sona "..."

Gnar "But you didn't do anything to deserve it."

Sona "..."

Gnar "I know i said that we just had to live. But i wanted. Oh nevermind, you can be free. I am too tired for this."

Olaf "BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Gnar "Sounds like they found him. Man, it was like a Zoo in here today."

Dont you know that riot removed yorick from the free rotation? If you dont, well not you know

PROJECT Fizz1 votes

KaOsDD1 votes

I assume it's because Yorick and Poppey are both in line for reworks and Riot doesn't want to give new players the wrong idea by letting them play champions that will soon be totally different.

Basturkforealz1 votes

Apparently both yorick and poppy got removed from the free champion rotation for some reason. It would've been quite a while ago, but they don't pop up in the free champs.
