#A Corporate Matter Episode: Slap a crown on it and call me legacy.

DrMundo "Ok, it worlds time again. Which mean Corporate Mundos annual contest back on. For new champions, contest is this. Whoever bring Corporate Mundo best lead on Championship Riven whereabouts. Get this year championship skin."

Nami "Why do you do this every year? You know no one is ever going to find her."

DrMundo "Me think it lot more likely than you finding Moonstone."

Brand "Ooooooh, burn."

DrMundo "Me also add new prize. If someone find Championship Riven and bring her to Corporate Mundo. Me make sure no nerf for you ever again."

Gangplank "GET OUT THE WAY, I NEED THIS!"

Irelia "Not as much as me, move over!"

Yasuo "I'M ON TOP NOW, AND I WANT TO STAY THERE!"

Entire room clears out, except for one.

DrMundo "Why you no go after Championship Riven too?"

Azir "It's too late for me."

A little bit later:

Taliyah "So, what was the lead from last year?"

Ryze "According to Kalista, she was kidnapped. But I have no idea who would do that."

Taliyah "Ah, where did Zed go. He seemed really excited about something."

Ryze "I think he went to talk to Vel'Kozby."

Zed "Alright, I bet my bottom gold that she is here. Now, I'll distract him. Shadow, you sneak around back."

Zed "Nods."

Zed "Knock Knock.""Hello, I'm looking for a Vel'Kozby?"

Velkoz "Yes, that would be me."

Zed "Hey, nice sweater."

Velkoz "What do you want, I need to get back to my sandwich. It's calling my name."

Zed Oh, I uuuuuhhhh, I wanted to see if you would be interested in. My ninja sleep darts. Guaranteed to knock anyone right out. They won't remember a thing"

Velkoz "I don't know what game you're playing, or what you think I do. But I'll take five. Let me just grab my wallet."

Zed "Swaps places with shadow."

Velkoz "Huh, where did he go?"

Zed "Alright, I'm in. Now I bet she would be somewhere down in this basement."

Riven "All by myself, don't wanna be, all by myself."

Zed "BOO! Haha, bet you didn't hear me coming because I'm a ninja."

Riven "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" "Dies of a heart attack."

Zed "Oh no, I killed her. Why does this always happen when I surprise someone. I'm not even op anymore. How do I get this darn cage open!"

Velkoz "WHAT HAPPENED!"

Zed "Vel, I uh, nothing happened. Please go back upstairs."

Velkoz "WHY ISN'T SHE BREATHING!"

Zed "I scared her."

Velkoz "Worse than I do? Why you gotta be like that man."

Zed "I don't know, everyone always loses it when they see me. I'm not even op anymore."

Velkoz "Move over, I have to shock her back to life." "Unlocks door and zaps life into Championship Riven."

Zed "It doesn't look like its working. Man, I don't think I get the prize if she's dead."

Velkoz "Come on, live. I can't lose another one, not after Avasha."

Riven "I am awakened."

Zed "Thank Rito, she lives. I just have one question. Why are you keeping her locked up in your basement."

Velkoz "Oh, for research purposes."

Riven "Is that what you call it?"

Velkoz "I must learn all there is to learn. Like, did you know that Shaco is an Anagram of Chaos."

Zed "How about you tell us some more facts, and I'll take Championship Riven and go."

Velkoz "How about no, you can stay here with her. Then I shall have two research subjects. I'm not picky. Oh, what fun this will be."

Zed "Wait, is that a brand new fat-free pudding flavor that no one has tasted before?"

Velkoz What, where?"

Zed "Quick, run for it!" "Bolts out of there with Championship Riven."

Velkoz "So that must be an example of, classic misdirection. It will be noted."

Some time later:

DrMundo "And we have winner. Championship Riven is found. Championship Zed will be arrive soon. Along with no nerfs ever again, or until Corporate Mundo get bored."

Zed "Hey, you can't say that. You promised forever."

DrMundo "Corporate Mundo promise lot of things that no happen. This why he never sign contract. Now to sell Championship Riven's body to all hungry league players."

Beyond the Void: Season 2 - Episode 2

Small gaps between the trees let the light of the sun seep through the thick forest. Soraka moaned as she stretched and woke up. As soon as her eyes were fully open and aware, she jumped away from Lucian.

Soraka "EW! I did not sleep with him.. I did not sleep with him."

Lucian waking up "You slept with me."

Soraka "NO!"

Soraka ran up to Lucian and punched him in the face.

Lucian "What the hell was that for?"

Soraka "I've had a bad experience while sleeping with other people. After what happened with Corporate Gnar..."

Lucian "We just call him Gnar around here."

Soraka disgusted "Ugh!"

Lucian then stood up and looked around. His cabin had been burned to the ground and there was no sign of life nearby. Lucian then checked his holsters and felt better.

Lucian "Looks like those a**holes tranquilized us and burned our only chance at survival down... At least I still have my gun."

Soraka even more disgusted "EW! Get away from me... I never want to see your perverted face again!"

Soraka heads off, stomping her feet like a child.

Lucian "Hey wait up! It's dangerous around here! I promise it wasn't an innuendo!"

Lucian and Soraka walked until they found themselves in an open field.

Soraka worried and confused "What the f**k!"

Lucian "HO- damn.... where are we?"

Soraka "Where are we--- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! YOU HAVE BEEN HERE FOR YOUR ENTIRE MISERABLE LIFE!"

Lucian "Shut your mouth."

Soraka "Excuse me?"

A creature appeared from the edge of the open field. He clapped slowly as he approached Soraka and Lucian.

Kled "What a show! You guys are probably the most--"

Kled pauses.

Lucian "What?"

Kled begins to form a big smile. Lucian then responds with a guilty expression.

Lucian "Oh no."

Kled "Can I please have your autograph? PLEASE! I WILL KILL FOR YOUR AUTOGRAPH!"

Soraka "Hey... HEY! HE AIN'T POPULAR!"

Kled gets mad all of the sudden "Now listen here ya dumb bi-"

Soraka casts a spell and silences him for a brief moment. Then the spell collapses, throwing the three of them back with a powerful force wave.

Malzahar steps out of his giant ship for the first time in many months. He then hears the powerful wave and rushes back in.

Malzahar "Vel, we need this subject out NOW!"

Velkoz "I already told you, Omega Squad Teemo is not ready to deploy!"

Malzahar "We need to think of something... there is a sorcerer on the ground and it will ruin our plans if we don't act now."

Velkoz "Have you ever tried to act like a hero? That would buy us a sufficient amount of time."

Malzahar "HERO?! Huh, that is not a bad idea... How would we..."

The monitors next to the subject show three people robbing a nursing home.

Malzahar "Now, what kind of idiots would decide to rob a nursing home?"

Velkoz "Oh, them? That is Shaco and Jhin... They recently acquired Swain."

Malzahar "They don't look like menacing criminals."

Velkoz "They were when Lissandra was an issue, but Shaco started to vape... so you should be fine."

Malzahar nods and heads back out of the ship. He then hops on to the hovering motorcycle and speeds off towards the three hooligans.

Wait why does swain have a high difficulty rating? Am I missing something or is whatever team in charge of telling us who is "difficult to play" at Rito just completely drunk?

QueqX9 votes

Swain is harder to play then AurelionSol, according to Rito. Something seems off there.

Hello, I'd like to suggest that Riot put the week's date on the announcement. Also, add it on the link that points to it. All under "Related Content" just say only "Free champion rotation"

eg. "Here are the free champions for the week of 10/10/16"

And... adding the prices for Champions would be useful, since that's often part of the decision making process.

Emojay1 votes

Just go to the shop.

Maximus Paine1 votes

You don't see how one person adding the prices once to the announcement facilitates thousands of people from not having to "go to the shop" 10 times to find out the prices?

Emojay2 votes

Ya. Kinda
