A Corporate Matter, Episode 15:

Gnar "What in the world is going on outside?"

Soraka "Looks like a blood moon festival. Hmm, those never mean something good."

Diana "No they do not."

Gnar "Diana, what are you doing here again?"

Diana "You helped me solve my last problem, so i figure you may be able to help me with this one."

Gnar "Look, i got a job to do, i can't just go willy nilly and help people with all their problems."

Diana "If you help me, i will give you these moon shoes. They use to power of the moon to explode underneath them and let you jump really high."

Gnar "Well, i have always been jealous of my normal self's impeccable ability to jump so high. Alright, i'll do it, what do you need?"

Diana "Ok, i will explain. This is no ordinary blood moon festival, it is a blood moon crowning ceremony. This is where they create a new member. And today is an eclipse, which is when the most powerful blood moon member can be created. It only happens once every thousand years."

Gnar "Ok, sounds pretty cool actually."

Diana "NO, IT IS NOT! The blood moon is a corruption of the moon herself, anyone who would do that to her must be punished. The real reason i need your help is, they want to make me the most powerful member, by force if needed."

Gnar "Oooh, you would look pretty sweet with blood moon powers."

Diana "It would be against everything i worship, i will have no powers during the blood moon, and i need you to prevent them from taking me."

Soraka "I mean, why don't you just go and stop them now? You have hours until the moon rises for them to make it red:"

Suddenly, the moon rose up from the sky and flew right in front of the sun. Like a braum with homeguard, trying to save his adc.

Soraka "Ok, i see the problem now."

Diana "The moon is turning red, they shall be here any minute now."

Gnar "Alright then, i guess we better get r-" "Hook'ed"

Thresh "Come here, my precious."

Kalista "Blood Moon Thresh, you grab diana, i will take care of Corporate Gnar. Blood Moon Elise, you get soraka."

Soraka "What are you gonna do lady, play me a song?"

Elise "Maybe i will just suck that divine blood from your veins." "Spider form"

Soraka "AHHHHHH! STAY AWAY, I HATE SPIDERS."

Kalista "Here, have some spears in ya Corporate Gnar!"

Gnar "Ow, those kinda hurt."

Kalista "Wanna know what hurts more than a spear going in? a spear coming out!" "Rips out spears."

"Your party has fainted, mission failed."

Diana "I knew i couldn't trust these guys with protecting me."

Down at the blood moon festival:

Gnar "Huh, what happened?"

Soraka "We failed terribly, now Diana is going to become a blood moon member."

Kalista "Alright, it is time. The blood moon light is shining down on our alter. We need only to place diana on it, then she shall become our new eclipse lord."

Diana "Welp, this is it. I am sorry Moon, i did my best, please forgive me for what i will do to you."

Kalista "Ok, lets do it now."

"Poof"

Zilean "So you see, my chrono-displasia is getting worse, so i can only make bombs above my head now, which is why i started throwing them."

"Everyone just stares at zilean."

Zilean "Darn it! It appears that i teleported to a random place in time again."

Soraka "Who were you talking to?"

Zilean "It doesn't matter, his name would only be an echo around here. What is wrong with these three, they are just staring at me."

Kalista "You, you are standing in the blood moonlight, you have taken the sacred spot."

Zilean "Hhm, so i am. What does this mean ex- AHAHHFHGHAHAHH!!!!"

He is lifted off into the sky, and transformed into something different.

Thresh "All hail our new eclipse lord, Blood Moon Zilean."

Kalista "This clown is has received the gift, NOOOOOOOOOOO! You three can just go, there is no use left for you Diana." "Sob"

Gnar "Well, i say the was a mission accomplished, so how about them moon boots Diana?"

Diana "You guys failed miserably, you should get nothing but a bad review. But i have no use for these, so take them."

"You gained Moon boots, use them to jump like your original self."

Gnar "Huzzah!"

(I can't believe i'm gonna do this, but. FIRST!)

Alright. So I understand that Riot has a "system" to choosing free champs for the week but to be honest it seems busted in the way that certain champions have been on the bottom of the barrel and have stayed at the bottom forever. Of course for newer players you need an accessible champion for each role and then some other champions mixed in (namely ones who haven't been in the rotation for 3-5 weeks). That being said what has happened to some of the champions no one has seen for a long time. Yorick hasn't been on the rotation for over a year (or 2-3 years, I remember checking a while back and again recently to confirm I didn't miss him by mistake). I've noticed this with other champions like Sion until he got his rework was also bottom of the barrel. This leads me to believe Yorick won't be on the rotation until a rework is done but who knows. I just think it's unfair to have the same champions every month or so and some champions new and old players won't even get to try out because they don't want to buy them before trying them. So if we can go ahead and push #freeyorick in the comments then maybe riot will forward some attention to PR in terms of champion rotation. If not whatever. #freeyorick Yorick
