#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."

"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."

Anyone else see all champs as free?

Maximus Paine10/11/2016, 1:13:06 AM4 votes

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.

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?

Fondling Gems10/10/2016, 5:16:16 PM4 votes

Wow, I feel like Taric was just on the other week, not that I am complaining of course. The more Taric the better.
