#A Corporate Matter Episode: Schizophrementalist

Malzahar "I really think we outdid ourselves this time Jimmy. After searching through so many different dimensions we have finally found her. I didn't think it was possible for us to beat Star Guardian Lux, but here is proof I'm wrong."

Lux "Where am I?"

Malzahar "You are in my studio. I am Art Master Malzahar. This is my Voidling, Jimmy. I am in charge of adding new skins to the league of legends. And you are perhaps the most beautiful thing I have ever found or made. A perfect version of normal Lux in every way. Just a simple power over light, nothing else. Perfect."

Lux "But I have power over all elements, not just light."

Lux "He doesn't need to know that."

Lux "What, I'm not just going to lie to him."

Lux "Well you should, he might not let us stay if he knows."

Lux "She's right, do you really want to go back to fighting that giant rock monster."

Lux "You three need to be quiet, he is looking at us weird."

Malzahar "Uhhhh, you okay?"

Lux "Yeah, just having an argument with my other forms."

Malzahar "Other forms?"

Lux Yeah, ten of us. All inhabiting the same body."

Lux "We can change at will, here let me show you." "Transforms into Mystic Lux."

Lux "Great, now he knows."

Lux "Why do you always have to be such a showoff, Mystic?"

Lux "Well excuse me, I'm tired of Light always getting to do everything."

Malzahar "You are even better than I could have possibly imagined. Everyone must have access to someone like you."

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo's money senses tingling. Have you got any spectacular product? Outsourced servant."

Malzahar "You arrived just in time. I have found the greatest thing in all existence. She might be a little odd."

Lux "Awwwww, he's so cute. Roll over so I can rub your belly."

Lux "I love his sweater."

Lux "I hate pets."

Lux "You're just a ray of sunshine, aren't you, Dark."

Malzahar "But her magnificence must be made available to everyone."

DrMundo "Yes, so me make it most expensive thing in game."

Malzahar "Well, at least everyone who truly wants it can get her on her sale."

DrMundo "Me also push sale back until May 2017. And add special loading border for those who not cheap."

Malzahar "Ok, can she at least get an icon for all ten forms?"

DrMundo "Yes, but you only get five with her, pay extra for other half."

Malzahar "Come on man, why you gotta make this so hard for players. Can't you just make her beauty accessible to all?"

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo be honest. When me look at her, me only see giant bags of money. Mountains of money. Corporate Mundo no care about any else."

Malzahar "Alright Elementalist Lux. Go with the nice man over here and be good for him."

Lux "Sneaky little Corporateses, trying to sell our body for money."

Lux "You just have to see the dark side of everything, don't you."

Lux "Well, that is her name."

Lux "Come on girls. This could be fun. Let's give it a try."

Lux "Alright, but I want Tacos."

Lux "You know I'm a vegan!"

Lux "Fine, vegi tacos."

Lux "With lots of hot sauce."

DrMundo "But, all tacos place closed except for one in nearby city. Going there delay us by week."

Lux "Do you have any idea how hard it is to get us all to agree on something to eat. I SUGGEST YOU GET US SOME DAMN TACOS!"

DrMundo "Alright, Corporate Mundo will take you to Taco." "Leaves with Elementalist Lux."

Malzahar "Well Jimmy, it's back to being just us. They grow up so fast." "Holds back a tear."

Malzahar "Alright, let's get back to searching the millions of universes. Maybe we can take another look at that Sorcerer doctor. Yeah, I know he was pretty strange. But that red cloak might look great on Taric."

(Whoa, late one today. So many jokes I could make. Maybe next week.)

Actually, I'm very glad Riot put out the supports for four weeks. It gave me enough time to try out different supports to learn the role with. I ended up liking Zyra . She is an aggressive support which I actually enjoy. Thanks to the experiment that Riot put out, I got to meet a possible main for mid/support.Thanks Riot!

Really like the Extra free supportsAnnie

The 20 free champs every week has seemed pretty good. It feels like there is always more choice, and with how many champs there are now, it seems like a pretty good idea.

I'm already main support, but I loved the idea of offering the extra support so that everybody gets a chance to try new support styles. I own all of the supports, but I didn't know Brand was considered a support so I reckon I'll give him a try. Thanks Riot :)

lel im always the first to comment on this thing and then i ask where the comic is ;P

Yama Kaji12/6/2016, 1:22:09 PM5 votes

I would play the free champs more to try out if there was a way to get key fragments with them. Personally turns me away by making it that you have to own a champ to get a key fragment.

I loved the extra free supports! I wish it was longer!!!

SkellyTM12/5/2016, 11:57:30 PM5 votes

I played a ton of supports and I almost never do it but I had a ton of fun! Thanks Riot!

After nearly 9 months, Poppy is a free champion for a week.

This idea really makes playing adc suck. I love all the new supports having no idea how to support and just go selfish builds and not build for the team.

Jadeflame101612/6/2016, 12:22:51 PM4 votes

I actually quite liked the extra support thing. I was working on a lot of support before (mostly Sona), but now this gives me a lot of options to play with for free, and I think it will be helpful to a lot of support players like me. It''s honestly been really fun trying out new champs, so whenever I need a different option, I know that I'll be helpful to the team. Please kep this! ❤️❤️

Brand Annie "support viable" champs lmao more like "I can't heal or shield you but I can instakill after 6"

BRAND WILL NEVER BE A SUPPORT

  1. Graves Malzahar Talon Thanks riot. Just thank you. Just REALLY REALLY THANK IS YOU! I JUST LOVE YOUR COMPANY SO MUCH RIGHT NOW
FreQaZoiDzaBezT12/13/2016, 1:12:48 AM2 votes

Hey riot! Can you please keep the free supports but I also believe that you should implement them into ranked because of the chance of being autofilled support and not having a good support to play for your adc. Thanks, much appreciated

Nami this champ is probably one of the best f2p champ for last week and this week. loving it!

PorkyPlayzLoL12/12/2016, 10:05:53 PM2 votes

Thanks guys during this week ive found many fun champions id like to play like, shyvana, braum, blitzcrank,and ap nautilus. Thank you guys for doin this for the community. Maybe in a few weeks we can do a jungler or top laner one? that'll be fun.

xDarkxFieldx12/5/2016, 11:12:58 PM2 votes

why do they even put Kayle on the free champion rotation after the ten year event every one owns her, so why waist the spot.

Critdizzle12/5/2016, 10:14:31 PM1 votes

Well, my thoughts are that this was an interesting/nice idea, but in reality it just meant that I constantly had to deal with Rocket Grabs from Blitzcrank. 3/10, hope this doesn't happen again. :/

PringlyMustache12/6/2016, 3:17:19 PM1 votes

this rotation is retarded and has stupid characters and some of them are the same characters from other rotations you never put high price characters next rotation please ad zac
