#A Corporate Matter Episode: Writing lore is like firing an arrow, sometimes you hit a bullseye and other times you really really really really miss the mark

Zoe "THERE HE IS, THAT'S THE MAN THAT TOUCHED ME!"

Varus "Wait, what?"

Gragas "Don't worry, I'll make sure he never touches anyone again."

Varus "Hold on now, I didn't touch anyone in a way that I could only get away with if I was president. Besides, even if I did. I would have gotten permission first."

Zoe "I'm just a little girl, I can't give consent."

Varus "What! You said you were thousands of years old!"

Jax "That excuse only works with anime."

Varus "No, trust me, I couldn't have touched her."

Brand "Better have some proof buddy. Or we are going to mount your head on the wall of the Vandal cave."

Jax "Okay, I thought we agreed to stop calling it special names. It's just a bar, we don't even own it."

Vladimir "I still think we should call it Vandal City."

Twitch "Guys, can we stop getting distracted and get back to killing the %%%%phile?"

Varus "Guys, it can't have been me. Because I'm, uh, I'm, I'm gay!"

Twitch "Dude, we've read your lore. We know that's not true. You can't just say that to get out of a public lynching."

Varus "What, no no, trust me. It's in the lore."

Brand "Alright, let's go to the Corporate Office and check. But if you're lying, I am going to slow roast you."

Vladimir "The quickest path is to walk up this river. So prepare to get wet."

Brand "Sigh."

Varus "Quickly outruns the vandals." "Gotta get there first. I knew this Rune of Waterwalking would come in handy."

Meanwhile:

Jinx "That movie was amazing! So, Thor x Hulk confirmed?"

Twitch "I think you are reading way too much into it."

Jinx "Not gonna stop my new fan fiction. I'm tired of writing conventional relationships."

Varus "Bursts into room." "MAKE ME GAY!"

Jinx "YES! Do you have any idea how long I have been waiting to hear you say that."

Varus "You're just going to do it, no questions asked?"

Jinx "Nope, don't care about your boring life. My lore is so much more interesting."

Varus "Damn, the vandals got here fast. I'll try and distract them as long as I can. Hurry up with th-"

Jinx "Done!"

Varus "Already? How did you-"

Jinx "Like I said, I've been waiting for this."

Jax "Alright, come out and accept your beating."

Varus "No no, my lore is right here! See, I'm gay! Also, I'm a Darkin? With two other dudes constantly talking in my head? What the hell is this?"

Gragas "You're right. I'm so sorry for not believing you and trying to enforce the patriarchy's rule. You are truly brave for coming out even when you didn't want to. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day."

Varus "So I'm some sadistic archer with schizophrenia? What am I even getting vengeance for? How do any of my voice lines make sense now?"

Jinx "You'll get used to the new you. Oh man, I'm so excited for everyone to read this. All the players are going to love it!"

#"They did not"

How autistic do you have to be to keep this up

Come on dude, you can do better than that. This is League of legends and that's the best insult you got? I'm disappointed to be honest.

No one has yet to beat the guy that compared A Corporate Matter to bad Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction.

Can I see a link to this masterpiece of an insult that you speak of?

Well played on the application of the updates to the lore. It's great. Shame how they changed Varus' lore.

Side note, I've been working on a concept to fix and recreate the cancelled champion, Omen. I was thinking a void or demon who possessed a failed experimental machine that combined the tech and ideals of Noxus, Demacia, Zaun and Piltover. I don't think it's as crazy as what Riot has been releasing but it try.

I know, old Varus was one of the champions that I wanted to see progress the most. The new one doesn't feel at all like the same character.

And as someone who is obsessed with the voidborn and experiments gone wrong, that idea sounds awesome.

Otter Fire2 votes

Thanks, I was fond of the concept for the cancelled champion Omen, and for the longest time I couldn't figure out how to make him work. Then it hit me, a war mech where the spikes on the back are instead a turret with rotating weapon configurations. I'm looking to make a charcoal/calligraphy artwork on his appearance and the premise of his abilities. I was thinking of mixing the average themes of Noxus, Demacia, Zaun and Piltover. Noxus champs focus on drawn out combat growing in power over time, Demacians make large, impactful blasts, Zaun has a corrosive type of style, and Piltover has a priority for precision. Using those themes, I thought it would be fitting for a character named after a sign of bad things to use their own weapons against them.

I feel like riot is trying to troll me with the fact that I just wasted 10 days of getting 4800BE and buying Zed and wasting 36 Project tokens to get Arcade Riven when I don't play Riven
