The Free Rotation, Episode Three:

Gnar "Yes yes, players were very cheap last week, they bought less champions then usual. i blame it on the fact that everyone is saving up for me to start the lunar revel. So i must make a bunch of champs they probably haven't played before free, that way they learn to love them, and give me a bonus check."

Soraka "Is the free rotation only about selling champions?"

Gnar "Mostly, but its also about the health of the league, and keeping players in line. Also, some of them are much more annoying than others, so i make them free more often for some peace. Now follow me, i have something to show you."

Corporate Gnar led Soraka into a hallway with a bunch of doors, into one of these doors they went. They entered a dimly lit room filled with cages.

Soraka "Is this where, "gulp" you keep all the champions, that aren't free?"

Gnar "Yep, i keep them all locked up here. I just press that big red button, next to each cage, to release them through a hole in their floors."

Galio "Guys, guys, my eyes spot the Decider. Over here! i need to be free."

MasterYi "I must be made free, and pwn noobs, for i am the master."

Nunu "The yeti is hungry, only my counter jungling powers of being free can satisfy him.

Gnar "Nunu, i just made you free, you are going to have to wait your turn again."

Nunu "But, no one played me during free week, and you don't know what its like to be in here when Willump is hungry."

Poppy "I will smash these bars down and become free myself."

Gnar "Bad Poppy, you are not being free until you look like a yordle and stop 1v5ing people. Also, don't even try to break down these cages, they are made of true ice.

Soraka "They sure are needy in here."

Gnar "You don't even know, they drive me insane sometimes, all of them really want to be free. By the way, i would recommend not talking to the caged Soraka in here. I tried that with myself, and let me tell you; things get really freaky really fast that way, it messes with your head."

Soraka "I will remember that. What is in this dusty old cage in the back here?"

Yorick "You.... y... you w... will... re... remember... yor..."

Gnar "Back away! that is Yorick. do not get near him, he hasn't been free in ages. What ever you do, don't press his button. The ramifications-"

Rammus "ok"

Gnar "of yorick being free could destroy the very fabric of league as we know it."

Soraka "I should really write this stuff down."

Its been over 5years, there are over 120characters, there are still only 10 free preview characters allowed per week, and at least 2 of them are the cheapos most players already have.

The free character rotation system really needs to be updated. The lists waste space by still having champs from 5years ago, many cost 450IP so are really cheap to buy.

This week there wont be even any champions from 2013 or 2014.

AAtrox, Braum, Darius, or Thresh are just some Im waiting for.
