#A Corporate Matter Episode: Freedom doesn't knock, it rings.

Ryze "I WANT YOU!"

Gnar "Not this again. Uncle Ryze, I went to your stupid freedom day party last year. Things went horrible, I got licked by Tahm Kench, that is not something I want to relive."

Ryze "But, you are the guest of honor this year. For everything you did for freedom."

Gnar "Are you sure you have the right Yordle? I love oppressing people so much, I could run for president."

Ryze "You stopped the war between Ashe and Xerath. You brought complete peace to us all."

Gnar "All I did was suggest that they share freedom day, instead of killing each other over who gets to use freedom valley."

Ryze "And for being the first person in history to suggest that we put aside our differences and love each other instead of killing each other. We want to celebrate you."

Gnar "Alright, fine. But I want a hotel named after me."

Ryze "Deal! Now, let's got on the freedom mobile. BIRD OF PREY ANIVIA, AWAY!"

Anivia "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

A little while later:

Gangplank "Oh really, now you guys show up."

Gnar "Gangplank? Why do you look so funny?"

Gangplank "I got a new idea for taking bilgewater back. Evidently Sarah has a better image, I'm too evil and mean looking. So you can call me Uncle Gangplank. A much happier and more hip Gangplank."

Ryze "Yeah, I have been showing him my ways. Even let him borrow from my wardrobe. But, Uncle Gangplank, what did you mean now we show up?"

Gangplank "Really, you haven't realized that freedom day was last week?"

Ryze "WHAT!"

Gangplank "Yeah, freedom day was last week. What in Runeterra were you doing that you forgot?"

Anivia "Looks at Uncle Ryze with disappointment."

Ryze "Yeah, haha, we don't need to talk about that. You better not say anything bird. So, what happened to everyone that came here?"

Gangplank Oh, they are still here. They blamed each other for kidnapping Corporate Gnar and have been at war since."

Gnar "Shouldn't that have ended a long time ago? I mean, Ashe has a whole army, while Xerath is all alone."

Gangplank "Nah, Xerath has the ascension buff, and Taliyah decided to join him. Also, I have been shooting the Freljord soldiers when they got low, for the extra gold. Can't take over bilgewater without deep pockets."

Gnar "Wait, Taliyah and Xerath are friends now? When did that happen."

Gangplank "I don't know man, I don't read the lore. Last time I did, I lost an arm."

Ashe "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, LIGHTNING MAN!"

Xerath "MY POWER CAN NOT BE CONTAINED!"

Taliyah "HERE'S ROCKS IN YOUR EYES!"

Gnar "Can't I just like, walk up and show them I am fine."

Gangplank "It's too late for that. They have started hating each other so much, that they don't even remember why. They won't stop until they kill one another."

Ryze "There is only one way to fix this. Let me make a call. Yeah, this is your professor. I'm willing to do that thing you asked for. But you need to get to me right now. Freedom Valley."

A few minutes later:

Ekko "Alright, I'm here. What did you need me to do old man?"

Ryze "Student, I need you to take us back one-week in time."

Ekko "You really have no idea how technology works, do you? This thing can only take me back to when I last turned it on, which was right before I came here."

Ryze "If you want me to improve your grade to an A, you need to take us back a week."

Ekko "Ok, there might be something I can do. Xerath's electricity might be able to supercharge my Z-Drive. Which should allow it to take us further back."

Ryze "Well, my spells are electric. So let me just cast a spell from my scroll and-"

Ekko "Whoah hoh there man, that won't work at all. The runes that power that thing will completely destroy my Z-Drive. So go ahead and take that scroll and stick it somewhere safe, you idiot."

Ryze "I got a better idea about where I should stick it."

Gangplank "Hey now, there is no need for that kind o' language. Ekko, you go and do your thing with Xerath."

Ekko "HEY XERATH, YOU LOOK WEAKER THAN THE NEW ROD OF AGES."

Xerath "HOW DARE YOU, I AM DESTRUCTION INCARNATE, I AM INFINITE ENERGY, NOTHING CAN STOP MY PULSATING POWER!"

Ekko "OH YEAH, THATS WHAT YOUR MOM SAID ABOUT ME LAST NIGHT!"

Xerath "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Fires lightning bolt."

Ekko "Ahhhhhh, alright this thing is ready to go. You are so going to give me an S+ for this."

Ryze "GRAB ON TO HIM!"

Gnar "GOT IT!"

Ekko "Y'all just halfway thoughts. Not worth the back of my mind. But to understand the future, we have to go back in time"

BUN DUN DUN, DUUUUNNN, DUNDUNDUN. Baby, ohhh baby. Ohhh baby, my sweet baby. You're the one.

Ekko "Ow, my head."

Gnar "I hate time travel. Where are we?"

Ryze "The olden days."

Ekko "You mean, back when I built full Ap?"

Ryze "Long before you even had some concept art. The is Ye Olde League Of Legends. Or as we called it back then, Clash Of Fates."

Gnar "Good job Ekko, you sent us back YEARS!"

Soraka "Oh, hi Ryze. You look, smoother than usual. And who are your nice young friends?"

Gnar "AHHHHHHHHH, WHAT IN THE NAME OF RITO IS THAT OLD CREATURE!"

Ryze "That's Soraka."

Gnar "That is not my beautiful Secretary, that is some wretched old hag."

Ryze "Well, that's how she used to look before they made her all young and pretty. She isn't the only thing different around here."

Gnar "The place is so dark and has such a low poly count. AHH, WHY DOES NASUS HAVE GIANT RABBIT FEET. EEHHHH, WHY IS URGOT SO UGLY LOOKING. Wait, nevermind, he looks exactly the same. WHY IS MASTER YI BUILDING AP!"

MasterYi "Because I am the dunkmaster." "Cough cough." "Armor starts to catch on fire."

Gnar "BUT THATS DARIUS! Hey, are you ok buddy. You look a little hot."

MasterYi "I'm fine, it just feels a little-" "Faces melts off, dies."

Evelynn "Hehehe, ty Sunfire Cape stacking."

Ryze "Looks at Ye Olde Ryze." "Man, have I always been this ugly and overpowered?"

Gnar "Pretty much, yeah. Ekko, how long until you stop being useless and get us back to the future."

Ekko "Ok, so there is a slight issue."

Gnar "Let me guess, you Z-Drive needs to be plugged in, and the plug it needs hasn't been invented yet?"

Ekko "What, no. What kind of idiot would create a time machine that couldn't get you back to the future because it needed to be plugged in? The problem is, my time machine doesn't go to the future at all. It only goes back in time."

Gnar "I am five seconds away from going full mega form on you."

Ekko "Don't worry, I have it covered. I called Anivia, she is going to cryo freeze us until we get back to the future."

Gnar "No way, been there done that. One of the most unpleasant things I have ever experienced. All Gnars have a complete hatred of being frozen. I am sure there is some other way to-"

Anivia "Hush now, just relax and let the ice take over." "Begins freezing Corporate Gnar and Ekko."

Gnar "What, no, stop! HELP, HELP ME, I DID NOT GIVE CONSENT, THIS IS ILLEGAL. I HATE YOU ALL, I HATE ICE, I HATE BEING COLD, I HATE-" "Gets frozen with a very angry expression."

Ekko "Alright, Ryze, since this is all your fault, you are going to have to stay behind. Wake us up when it's the freedom day you want us at. DON'T FORGET THIS TIME!" "Gets frozen."

Ryze "Don't worry, I have seen what I am. I intend to use this time to become what I was always meant to be."

not a single interesting news post in a week/a half -.- I got last week was your independence day but Mondays here and nothing noteworthy. Not that it actually matters, just pointing it out because it's one of the longest gaps in the several years I've been playing. My guess is they're probably focused on getting the new rotating game polished.

Gonna go in to q and see a blue dragon come down lane and immediately leave cause he's bad. Gonna see an eyeball over my head just to find out he died. My screen's gonna have a seizure from the Leona supports and my inner weeb will be unleashed from all the tentacle hentai.

I legit hadn't bought a new champ in almost two months. Until three days ago, when I decided to pick up Nami and TF since they seemed fun.

...Riot, please stop stalking my purchase history.
