#A Corporate Matter Episode: We are a pirate

Gnar "I hate Bilgewater."

Soraka "Come on boss, it's not all bad."

Gnar "You sure? The air smells worse than Gangplank's outhouse. Wharf rats bite you at every opportunity. I'm pretty sure we are going to get shanked at any moment and the people swear worse than a ranked player."

Soraka "Well, aren't you a negative nancy."

MissFortune "Thank you all for coming to today's celebration. Here we mark the one year anniversary since we killed the murderous Gangplank."

Gangplank "STILL NOT DEAD!"

MissFortune "SHUT UP, NO ONE CARES! Anyways, we are also celebrating the day I became your leader."

TwistedFate "Well, we didn't exactly vote you in."

MissFortune "No, but because I killed Gangplank. I have the biggest gun, which puts me in charge."

Graves "But, isn't that how Gangplank became the leader?"

Gangplank "Yep, she isn't really any different than me. Except I actually killed me father."

Soraka "Man, she seems almost as full of herself as you sir."

Gnar "Not the same, I actually acknowledge what a terrible boss I am."

Gangplank "Yeah, she's a real piece of work."

MissFortune "Anyways, I have a lot planned for today. We have bobbing for bullets over there. And t-"

Ryze "YO HO HO AND A BOTTLE OF MANA!"

Gangplank "Pirate Ryze, is that you?"

Ryze "YOU BET YOUR SWEET COIN IT'S ME."

MissFortune "What are you doing storming in here like this?"

Ryze "I have come for the booty."

Gangplank "Haven't we all."

Ryze "I figure, since you took over from Gangplank last year. I should kill you and take over this year."

MissFortune "What? No, that's not how it works. I stay in charge, you follow me. We don't need to kill each other once a year."

Ryze "Well, I say we do. And I brought some friends to help me do it."

Gangplank "Is, is that me old crew?"

Katarina "Do what you want, cause a pirate is free!"

Ryze "YOU ARE A PIRATE!"

Swain "Yar har, fiddle di dee."

Rumble "Being a pirate is all right with me.."

Fiddlesticks "Do what you want, cause a pirate is free!"

Tristana "YOU ARE A PIRATE!"

Ryze "You are a pirate."

Shen "Starts waving his sword around without using his hands."

Gnar "ENOUGH WITH THE OUTDATED REFERENCES!"

Ryze "What, it's fun to say. Fine, I guess me and my crew can just take over then."

MissFortune "Wait, hang on guys. Don't do this. SOMEONE, HELP, WHERE IS MY CREW!"

Graves "They bobbed for one too many bullets."

Ryze "GIMME ALL YOUR BOOTY!"

MissFortune "Aha! You can't take over."

Ryze "Oh yeah, why not?"

MissFortune "Because you are not lore skins. Ryze is in no way a pirate. You can't interfere with the lore. And killing me would really interfere with it."

Ryze "What, that can't be true?"

Gnar "It is. Bad things will happen to you. I mean, SKT Sivir tried something and look where she ended up."

Soraka "What, they could have killed Captain Miss Fortune. Why didn't you say something earlier."

Gnar "Honestly, I just didn't care enough."

Ryze "Alright let's go guys. We can hunt that hidden box, with the booty and the locks."

Gnar "Yeah, I'm getting out of here too. I don't even remember why we came in the first place."

#The Arcade Season 2: Episode 1: The New Guys. Hecarim "Hello everyone and welcome to The Arcade, the show where we try to be funny, and fail." MissFortune "Uh, Hecarim?" Hecarim "I'm trying to have a normal episode here, so wait until were done recording please." "But, it's an emergency!" Hecarim "Fine, I'll check it out." 1 Minute Later.. Hecarim "The Toilet being clogged is an emergency?" "Nope, this was a distraction so the new guys can appear." Hecarim "WAIT WHAT" Corki "WHO WANTS SOME PRINGLES" Ezreal "Hello." Ahri "Hi! We're the new Arcade Skins!" Hecarim "Shouldn't there be a 'Battle Boss' skin also?" Ahri "Idk we weren't supposed to be leaked" Hecarim "OH" One eternity later.. Corki "PRINGLES PRINGLES PRINGLES PRINGLES PRINGLES PRINGLES PRINGL-" Riven "Please stop." Hecarim "Welp, now we have more employees." Sona "..?" Hecarim "Anyway, back to our normal shenanigans. MF, say the free champ rotation." MissFortune "The new free champ rotation includes annoying champions such as Fiora, Fizz, and Blitzcrank." Riven "BASICALLY DONT PLAY TOP, MID, OR BOT THIS WEEK" "Or, just ban those champions." Riven "That works." Corki "PRINGLES" Hecarim "We also have a new champion coming, Kled and skaarl." Sona "???" Kled "What this girl sayin?! Are you threating my Skaarl?" Hecarim "Oh right Sona can't talk." Kled "What was that? I should go for the Septakill? Well, if you say so." Hecarim "Uh no, what is it like almost being a champion?" Kled "Oh, uh, GET OFF MY LAWN!!" Hecarim "Ok... Well, that's all the time we have for today, join us next week when we talk about Kled again." Kled "ITS MY PROPERTY! ALL 100 GAZILLION ACRES OF IT!!"

Hecarim "See you next week. someone shut these yordles up"

Whenever Blitzcrank rocket grabs, an adc dies.

Draven DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEN!

Evelynn Splash art looks great, in game still looks terrible though.

Fiora 50% will play this champ because of youtube montages.

Fizz People complain too much.

Hecarim CHAAAARGE!

Leona Apparently sunlight can kill you.

Talon Going to be a very easy mid lane this week.

Tryndamere Right click to kill.

Vayne Feeders, feeders everywhere.

Second week in a row where there aren't really any "new" free champions to play, because all of these champions have been on the free rotation in the last few months. Also, what's with all the assassins, fighters, and tanks with this batch. Only two ranged characters, and no mages whatsoever.

Why don't you just release a pool of about forty "healthy" champions, make the group permanent, and stop it with this "free rotation" thing. ._.
