#A Corporate Matter Project: Episode.

Gnar "So, is that all you wanted?"

DrMundo "Yes, Corporate Mundo say you go now."

Gnar "Hey, what are all those cool lights in that room?"

DrMundo "Room? Corporate Mundo no have room."

Gnar "Yeah you do, right there. I think I hear voices."

DrMundo "Ok, Corporate Mundo have room. But you no go in room. It-"

Ekko "Hey, is someone out there!"

Gnar "What the heck."

Ashe "Let us out please!"

Katarina "Yes, so I can kill these two fools."

Gnar "Uh, boss. Why do you have the new projects locked up in your closet? Is this why they haven't been released yet?"

DrMundo "Yes, Corporate Mundo forgot why he lock up though. Me pretty sure good reason."

Gnar "Wait, so you have had them locked up this whole time. While I have had to deal with all the protesters yelling and throwing things at my window. AND YOU DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHY!"

DrMundo "Yes."

Gnar Alright, I'm letting them out so everyone stops complaining to me."

DrMundo "Wait, Corporate Mundo know he had-"

"Click"

Ekko "Yes, released at last!"

Ashe "Did I ult you guys, because man you take a long time to do anything."

Katarina "Ehahahaha!"

Gnar "Alright, I can go now."

Some time later:

Gnar "Ah, all the protesters are gone. Now, I can finally just listen to the sweet sounds of my office. The sound of money being made, Champions begging to be free in the other room. And, screams of terror?"

DrMundo "CORPORATE MUNDO REMEMBER WHY HE NO RELEASE PROJECTS NOW!"

Taliyah "YOU CANNOT RUN FROM ME!"

DrMundo "Throws briefcase."

Taliyah " Ow ow! Ok, just let me get my passive back. THEN YOU CANNOT RUN FROM ME! Please don't walk away from the walls."

Gnar "Ok, why is Taliyah chasing you?"

DrMundo "Me remember. After last project released, all champion come to Corporate Mundo. They say they want be project too. Corporate Mundo say no, but me no have good reason. They sell lots and all champion look good as project. They upset, try kill Corporate Mundo because he no want that many project. Now it happen again."

Gnar "I guess you have a point. I mean, Project Gnar, that would be pretty tight."

Soraka "Uh boss, there are some people here to see you."

Gnar "Who?"

Soraka "All of them."

Rammus "YEH!"

RekSai "Growls angrily."

Gnar "Oh dear Rito."

Quinn "You have no good reason not to give us a project skin."

Tryndamere "We would look so awesome."

Urgot "Plus, champions with a project skin are played a lot." "Sobs."

Sion "SO DO IT NOW!"

Gnar "I better call in some help. Hello. Our boss is trying to get me killed again. Ok, so I might have had a hand in it. All champions want a project skin. Well, after they kill me he is probably going to run to you next. I don't know, think of something. Even Sona, as broken as you made her, can't take on this many at once. So if you save her she might be amazed by you. Please hurry."

"Maybe if we start punching him, he will have a change of heart."

DrMundo "Please, Corporate Mundo too rich to die."

Gnar "As if I deserve to-"

XinZhao "SHUT IT!" "Lances Corporate Gnar."

Gnar "さてさて、それを傷つけます。君たちは、あなたが彼にやりたいです。私はここにブリードアウトしないようにしようと上になるだろう。"

Soraka "Great, now you guys broke his language button. He can only talk and write in Japanese until I fix it. Well, at least he isn't in Spanish mode."

Trundle "Get ready for a beating. Project trundle will be amazing."

LeeSin "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"

Caitlyn "Oh, what now?"

LeeSin "Now I know that this man has done a lot to upset people. And I'm sure he deserves this. But you guys are going to need a better reason to kill my boss. So, anyone who touches him over wanting project skin will get reworked."

Graves "Well, that's not so bad."

LeeSin "By the same guys that did the Skarner and Mordekaiser reworks."

Talon "Alright everyone, let's leave."

Skarner "Good choice."

"If only we got one." "Stares longingly at videos of ye old, full ap Mordekaiser."

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo is safe, thank to his quick thinking. Oh, me just remember other reason me not release projects. Corporate Mundo feel sorry for poor fool."

Meanwhile:

Katarina "Zed baby, I'm finally here."

Zed "I have been lost in the dark without you." "Starts making out."

Ashe "Ooooooookay then."

Leona "Well, at least we know he has a face under there."

Lucian "SENNA!!!!!!!!!" "Sobs."

MasterYi "What is this, who are you three."

Ashe "We are the new projects. A little late but, we are here now."

MasterYi "I thought we told that old man that there were to be no more monstrosities like us. Guess he didn't learn."

Ashe "Wait, do you know who our evil creator is?"

MasterYi "Well, ummm. We don't know for sure. But it has to be the first person we saw when we got here, right?"

Ekko "That's sound logic to me."

Ashe "So, who is it? I need to try out my new bow."

MasterYi "Art Master Malazhar. We told him no more of us, guess he needs a reminder."

Fiora "Let's go, you coming Zed?"

Zed "No. Like I said before, I don't think it's him our small lore implies we need to kill. I'll just stay here with Kat."

A few minutes later:

Yasuo "Hey, where did everyone go?"

Zed "They left to go beat up that guy again."

Yasuo "Man, why does everyone always forget about me."

Even more minutes later:

Malzahar "Oh no, they found me."

MasterYi "How many times must we teach you this lesson old man."

Malzahar "I can't help it, you guys are amazing in every way. But, it's not like I make you guys. I just bring you here. You should rea-"

And they all lived happily ever after. Except Art Master Malazhar, he got beat to pieces. But stop he shall not, for Project skins are really sweet.

For those of you who want to know, Google Translate claims Japanese Gnar is saying, " Well , it hurts it . You guys , do you want to do to him . I would be on and try not to bleed out here . "

King DellronAug 1, 20162 votes

Well, it came out better than some translations.

Here is what I actually wrote: Gnar "Alright, that hurt. You guys do what you want to him. I'll be over here trying not to bleed out."

cyberchadeAug 1, 20161 votes

why is ZZ potral next to tristan and Trundle??

King DellronAug 1, 20161 votes

Because, everyone wants a project skin, everyone! Even summoner spells and items.

Wert the WackyAug 1, 20161 votes

Project Fiddlesticks would be amazing, but I'd rather they update his outdated model!

The Time Juncture: Season 1 - Episode 2

There was no end to Ekko's phase diving pleasure. He de-materialize and re- materialize within seconds. Phase diving had nothing to do with the timeline, so it had no effect on the grand scale. The TL aircraft reached the general location of where Ekko was. It hovered above the area and stayed up there until the pilots were able to spot the boy. Zilean waited for the message to blast on the intercom speaker, however after ten minutes, he got tired of waiting and opened the hatch. The powerful wind blew in his general direction, causing his hair to loose its preset form and sway with the wind instead.

Zilean No wonder why they couldn't spot the boy. There are no lights in this part of the city!

Clairvoyance "This is the official intercom announcement: The boy has been spotted."

Zilean to himself "Good"

The aircraft then suddenly jolted upward and Zilean started to move in the opposite direction of his target.

Zilean yelling "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!"

There was no option left, Zilean had to jump off the aircraft before it reached too high of an altitude. Zilean moved towards the edge of the hatch, raised his arms to form a perfect 't' shape and then leaned forward.

summoner 3 "This is pilot GR48 speaking! We are having technical problems, please send backup right away!"

The huge screen (used for communicating) in front of the command panel turned on and a familiar face appeared.

Viktor "Trust me, I know what the issue is. However, if you value your lives, then you must deliver Zilean to me immediately."

summoner 3 aside "General, did you hear that?"

Kennen "Loud and clear! I have sent some soldiers to go fetch him. Hold on... WHAT?"

summoner 3 "What happened?"

Kennen "He jumped."

summoner 3 frustrated "WHAT?! WHO THE F**K JUMPS AT THIS HEIGHT?!?"

Everything was just communicated with a whisper, so Viktor did not hear a thing.

Viktor "You guys look worried. Is everything alright?"

Kennen answering abruptly "Uh, yes sir! We have everything in control and you can surely count on us!"

The huge screen turns black (the call ends).

summoner 3 "How the hell does he do that every time? It's like he is the dictator of Zaun all of the sudden."

Kennen "You're not wrong kiddo. Alright, I'm going to go see what I can do to get Zilean back.. you need to keep us on a constant path and drop the altitude only when I say it's ok."

summoner 3 "Got it."

Meanwhile, Ekko was practicing his moves with the time winder as if he were a little kid.

Ekko "Oh what is that? Big bad Viktor doesn't have any weapons? TOO BAD!"

Ekko swung his time winder to re-enact the beheading of Viktor. However, when he was about to accept praise for his 'bravery', a loud crashing noise resonated throughout the street. Ekko rushed over to the noise and was shocked by what he saw.

Zilean gasping for air "Ekko... ge... get back to the ship. AH! I don't think I'll be alive for much longer."

Ekko hyperventilating "AHHHHHH! It's ACTUALLY you!"

Zilean This will be harder than I thought.

Back in the aircraft...

Kennen "Alright AI, listen to me very carefully. We have been taken over by Viktor. His commands are to bring Zilean in, dead or alive."

Clairvoyance "What about the boy, General Kennen?"

Kennen "No witnesses. He must be removed from the timeline."

Clairvoyance "Are you sure that these are Viktor's direct orders?"

Kennen smirking "Positive."

#The Arcade Season 1: Episode 7: PROJECT:Finale Viktor "Kog, wake up." KogMaw "Ok... WAIT WHERE AM I?!" Viktor "Where you just were." KogMaw "Oh ok good" Chogath "We're here too." Velkoz "Yo." Xerath "..." Urgot "I only joined for this skin." Skarner "SKAR SKAR SKARNER" Ashe "Stop right there, Viktor!" Ekko "What she said!" Viktor "NO" Ashe "Ok we'll just get the Arcade skins brb" MEANWHILE IN OVERWATCH Hecarim "THIS IS STILL AWESOME" Riven "Can we leave?" Hecarim "NO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A CONVIENIENT PLOT DEVICE LIKE A PROJECT SKIN AND THEN WE CAN LEAVE!" Riven "Ooooooookay then." Ashe "We need your help." Ekko "Yeah." Sona "???" Hecarim "Why?" Ashe "Because the Void has joined Viktor." Malzahar "I didn't join him." Kassadin "Me neither." Khazix "Same here." RekSai "Rek'Sai sounds" Ashe "I meant the ones with Battlecast skins." "Oh." Ashe "Anyway, will you help us?" Hecarim "Yeah sure why not its the Finale anyway." MissFortune "I just got a Pool Party skin so I'm just going to leave now bye" Taric "Outrageous." Hecarim "Can I wear my helmet that I never got to wear?" Ashe "Sure. let me just get my hood on real quick" Hecarim "Cool." A SHORT TIME LATER.. Ashe "STOP RIGHT THERE!" Hecarim "YEAH!" Viktor "Fine, but you'll have to defeat me first." Ashe "I guess it was a good idea to bring zed then." Viktor "Fuck my Life." Zed ults Viktor "And now we wait for everything to happen." Viktor "Fuck my Lif-" Zed "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Duskblade." KogMaw "Ok I give up" Zed "GGEZ" Hecarim "I DIDN'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING!" Final fantasy victory music plays

AND SO, THE ARCADE: SEASON ONE WAS OVER. IT WAS DONE. BECAUSE ZED IS OP. MORAL OF THE STORY, BAN ZED. Hecarim "Yeah, ban Zed. Just do it." Zed "GGEZ"

THE END..?

The Arcade: Season 1 is over now. Much Sad. Next week however, Season 2 will start! That's it. Bye. Adios. Au Revoir. Auf Wiedersehen. Goodbye. Bye-bye. See ya next week.

EvilUnicornLordAug 1, 20162 votes

Why is Singed classified as part fighter? You build this --> item 3089 as Singed, not this --> item 3071 . Tank with a slight of mage, yes, not fighter.

powerbottomlanerAug 2, 20162 votes

It's because he's always close to the enemy, where most mages are ranged, he's a tanky ap fighter.

Why do you wanna try out Singed ? And even so, can't you just buy him for 450 IP?

Necro Warrior87Aug 1, 20161 votes

StaircaseGone22Aug 1, 20161 votes

No they lowered it [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Rishal21Aug 3, 20161 votes

Yeah, quite a while ago, actually. It was back when Taliyah go released. Singed and Draven got their prices reduced. They do that everytime a new champ comes out.

EmojayAug 1, 20161 votes

Keeman45Aug 1, 20161 votes

Can Kennen and Yorick popup soon please? Would really like to try them Rito!

grarrrgAug 2, 20162 votes

Yorick was removed from Free Rotation until, presumably, after the rework. Kennen is currently tied for 2nd longest since last Free (of those that are actually in the rotation, tied with Mordekaiser, beaten by Kayle)
