Jungle icons invade the store

Riot··3 votes·33,564 views

Baron? Dragon? Sure, those dudes are big and brutal. But what about the unsung heroes of the jungle? Those silent sleepers who, if underestimated, will break any jungler foolish enough to step on their doormat with low health and no Smite? We’re talking jungle monsters: Murkwolves, Raptors, Krugs, and the dreaded Rift Scuttler.

They may not be as flashy or valuable as their bigger bros, but we’ll be damned if they’re not at least kind-of-pretty-big-deals sometimes. So when the chips are down, and it’s time to let your jungle flag fly, pick up a new jungle monster icon (250 RP each) and (metaphorically) raise a glass for the little guys.

These are prime examples of icons that should be purchasable with ip.

RITO want money... "MORE! MORE! MORE!" RITO says...

Bergk5 votes

yeah but Rito may want more money, but is anyone seriously going to spend RP on these icons......

Maybe....?

Believe it or not, but some people seem to have RP practically coming out of their ears. I'll bet there are even some who will buy all four icons just to collect them, even if they literally never use them.

While I don't have the money to do that I know a number of different people who will buy the icons and never use them purely for the purpose of supporting riot. Some of those people actually put in so little RP that buying cheap skins, icons, and totems is the only way they can support on a regular basis.

Yes, monsieur, tonight we have viruses served on a silver platter, as well as some scams on the side. No no sir, no payment necessary. Just click the link. Do it. DO IT.

I actually think they should be unlockable content. Unlock wolf icon by spotting X amount of enemy players with the wolf ghost. Unlock Scuttle icon by either spotting X amount of enemies or using the speed shrine to pick up a kill or assist within 15 seconds. Unlock raptor icon by killing X amount of wards with the buff. Unlock stone golem icon by doing X amount of damage to towers by consuming the buff.

I'm sure there are plenty of fun ways to encourage people to play junglers. It's one of the least popular roles in my experience during teambuilder and it would be a cool way to get new people trying out jungling.

If I could give you more than one upvote I would. Riot has been promising IP purchases for a long long long time, and something simple like this (especially for someone who has a zillion event icons, pro team icons, etc), I don't want to spend cash money, and it would be a nice little IP sink. I would be fine if it was 2500IP for the icons, or 4000IP, or whatever. I have over a dozen full rune pages, every champ, and just sit on my ever-growing mountain of IP.

There are only 2 monsters in the jungle we are worried about.

The Lamb...and the Wolf.

With soft steps the woman of the moon slowly approached the raptors armed and ready. She heard then movement in the bush, and the pull of string. There she saw the reaper before her. The soulless eyes of of a hunter with hooves, and the hungering gaze of a wolf with drooling jaws. Death was amongst the woman, and her fate is now sung by the skies.

These are worth IP. Not RP.

No shopkeeper icon? The monsters give us the buffs and the gold but the shopkeeper is the reason we thrive and evolve in battle and yet he is the one who has been forgotten.

We need summoner spell icons instead. =D

Riot why not make those RP/IP available. 5k or 6k even 10k IP.

straitmungry14 votes

Yep, more Icons that aren't really "premium", that of course, you can't pay for with ip. Seriously?

I've made the mistake of fighting the Rift Scuttler way too many times.

KakaKrabbyPattie7 votes

you should you know... make these be able to be bought with ip. just sayin.

If the icons were to be purchased with Rp then make it worth it, like with the poro icons when "The Poro King" mode was added to the Howling Abyss map and depending on which icon you had you got a pair of poros that looked like the ones in the icons. What I'm getting at is, I believe it would be cool to have a miniature version of the jungle monster from each respective icon to follow the player's champion around for a neat little in game visual fun and each monster could have it's own dance or taunt. What else you can do with the miniature monsters is up to Riot but personally i think that would make the need of 250Rp for the icons worth it and i know 250Rp isn't really that much but for an icon that will simply be left unused once a newer one comes out is just a waist.

You're alone in the river, don't have your flash. Out of the corner of your eye you spot him. Scuttlecrab. He's following you, about 30 feet back. He's on all fours, and moving kinda slow. Scuttlecrab. You're looking for your lane, but you're all turned around. He's almost to the end of his path. There's wards all around him. There's vision everywhere! 
Running for your life from Scuttlecrab. Lurking in the river, killing for sport. Scuttlecrab. Drowning all his victims. Scuttlecrab. Now the wards have expired, and you think that you've lost him. Hiding in a bush, looking for a gank. Aha! In the distance, a ping! Hope! You creep towards it, but your leg! It's caught in a Caitlyn trap! 
Now you are free, and headed to gank. But you're in the river. Sitting there waiting, Scuttlecrab. He doesn't see you coming, you're sneaking up on him. Using CC on Scuttlecrab! Now his armor is low, and he can't escape. Smite to the face! You've done it! You've beaten legendary monster Scuttlecrab.

More RP icons???

What happened to more ways to spend the huge amounts of IP people are accruing? These are good quality that I expect from Riot because lets be honest your art team is of Blizzard quality at this point, but that doesnt mean you should just charge for pictures.

its true; it is a dreaded scuttle crab. that thing is more contested that baron or dragon combined.

You realize he already has one right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't metaphorically used incorrectly in that last sentence. Shouldn't it say something like this "... pick up a new jungle monster icon (250 RP each), and (figuratively speaking) raise a glass for the little guys."

I hate being the grammar police (again correct me if I'm wrong), but shouldn't Riot have people catching mistakes like this. Although, there is the chance I'm wrong, and I'll look stupid.

Oh well, cheers.

All those executed by small jg monsters.

what about red buff tho

Wind Whistler4 votes

The Red Brambleback and Blue Sentinel were limited edition icons obtained by playing on either side when the New Summoners Rift was coming out.

Gr8umbreon2 votes

So you mean we now have to wait longer for the red buff and blue buff icons? Why Rito, why do you make us suffer?

Wind Whistler2 votes

One of the prices to pay for joining League Of Legends so late.

Okibruez2 votes

Two points: The only reason these aren't IP-purchaseable is that the Gromp icon isn't either. And there really was no reason for that; I'd buy these all in a heartbeat for IP.
