#A Corporate Matter Episode: Honey, I Shrunk The Corporates

Soraka "You know, it sure is a nice day today. Peaceful, quiet, calm. Wouldn't you say so, boss?"

Gnar "What are you doing!"

KogMaw "I dare say she's right. It is splendid day today, not much happening."

Gnar "What is going on with you two. Are you bored or something? You know what don't mention how great of a day it is. Otherwi-"

Teemo "I, CORPORATE TEEMO, HAVE COME TO TAKE MY JOB BACK!"

Gnar "SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS! YOU'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING MORE THAN OMEGA SQUAD TEEMO!"

Teemo "That's what you think. Corporate Mundo may not hire me while you are around. And I can't seem to kill you. But if he couldn't find you, well then he would have no choice but to hire me."

Warwick "INTRUDER! DIRE SATAN INCARNATE!"

Teemo "Zap!" "Yeah, that's not going to happen."

Soraka "Oh dear Rito, he's killed him."

Teemo "No, I didn't kill him I just. Here, let me show you." "Zap zap zap."

Gnar "Ughhhh, are we dead?"

KogMaw "Where's Sona when you need her."

Soraka "Guys, does Omega Squad Teemo look bigger to you?"

Teemo #"THAT'S RIGHT, I HAVE SHRUNK YOU DOWN TO MINISCULE SIZE. NOW NOTHING CAN STOP ME FROM GETTING THIS JOB. I'LL BE ON MY WAY TO TALK TO CORPORATE MUNDO. HAHAHAHA!"

Gnar "Luckily there is construction going on in his way. So he will have to take the long way around. We can take a shortcut through the Corporate Daycare. There's a hole in my floor which leads right to it."

Warwick "Wait, it could dangerous. I should go first." "Jumps in hole."

Warwick "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DEAR RITO. OH HELL NO, STAY BACK. PLEASE DON'T. YO-" "Incoherent screaming."

Gnar "Well, seems safe enough. Besides, getting fired is much worse than death. Let's go gang."

All three of them jump in the hole:

Gnar "Ow! I think I landed on my spleen."

Soraka "I'll get that for you."

Alistar "Psssst."

KogMaw "What was that?"

Renekton "Get in here before it notices you."

Gnar "Before what ge-"

KogMaw "Sniffs air."

Gnar "OH DEAR RITO. QUICK, HID BY THE COW IN A COW SUIT!"

KogMaw "WOOF WOOF!"

They hide behind an old water heater. Inside are Moo Cow Alistar, Renektoy, and Super Kennen. Gathered around a pilot light that they are using as a campfire.

Gnar "WHAT WAS THAT THING!"

KogMaw "Black sheep of the family, I'm afraid."

Renekton "We call it Pug'Maw. It has been the bain of our society for countless lifetimes. Super Kennen, sing him the song of our people."

Alistar "Bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk....."

Kennen "Hurry, hurry, lift the lid, Let’s go play without that kid, Scamper ‘round and horse about, Before ol’ Pug’Maw finds us out!

Hurry, hurry, get his ball, Bounce it up and down the hall, Time is short, there is no doubt, That ol’ Pug’Maw will find out!

Hurry, hurry, grab your things, Don’t wait for his slobb’ry sting, Back inside the box — don’t pout, That ol’ Pug’Maw found us out!"

KogMaw "He really does have a beautiful voice."

Gnar "So this is nice and all. But I need to get to Corporate Mundo's office real soon. And that thing is in the way."

Alistar "It is an impossible task. Nothing gets past that thing's nose."

KogMaw "How about this, old chap. You help us get to the Corporate Mundo. And when he fixes us, we will remove Pug'Maw from these lands, once and for all."

Alistar "It won't matter, trying is suicide. We'll never make it."

Renekton "My brother would have wanted us to try. Action Nasus, with real stacking action. He would have wanted us to risk our lives. So that future generations didn't have to suffer the same fate he did."

Kennen "I agree with Renektoy. I'll gladly die in the name of a better tomorrow."

Alistar "Alright, fine. LETS RIDE OUT!"

They charge out, running to the other side of the room.

KogMaw "TOYS!"

Alistar "All of us will never make it. I'll distract him. You guys make it to the door."

Kennen "But, Moo Cow, he'll tear you to pieces."

Alistar "You guys were right. Our lives mean nothing compared to the ones we could save. NOW GO, AND DON'T LOOK BACK!"

Soraka "YOUR SACRIFICE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN, BRAVE SOLDIER!"

Alistar "Bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk!"

KogMaw "Woof, rawr!" "Grabs Moo Cow Alistar with his mouth."

Alistar "Ugh, it smells terrible in here." "Gets torn to shreds, like a used napkin."

Gnar "I KNEW LETTING PETS IN THE DAYCARE WAS A BAD IDEA!"

Kennen "There still isn't enough time. Keep going, I'll hold him off."

KogMaw "PLAY!"

Kennen "HHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" "Leaps at Pug'Maw, charged up with static electricity."

KogMaw "Licks Super Kennen out of the air."

Renekton "May you rest forever in toy heaven."

Gnar "We are almost there."

KogMaw "I don't mean to alarm you chaps. But I have lost sight of the beast."

Soraka "Maybe it gave up?"

Renekton "Pug'Maw does not-"

KogMaw "Grabs Renektoy in his mouth."

Gnar "OH DEAR RITO!"

Renekton "Werf." "Gets bitten in half."

Soraka "We made it!"

Gnar "Corporate Mundo's office is right this way."

They make it to Corporate Mundo's office, climb up his legs and get by his ear.

KogMaw "Now I see why they call him the big boss."

Gnar "Boss, I'm not gone. Don't listen to Corporate Teemo!"

DrMundo "Oh no, voice be back In Corporate Mundo's head. EZREAL SERVANT, YOU SAY YOU GET RID OF VOICES!"

Gnar "I'M NOT ANOTHER MANEFESTION OF YOUR INSANITY. I'M JUST TINY CORPORATE GNAR!"

DrMundo "Oh, hehahaheh. That very good. You say Corporate Teemo here?"

Gnar "Yeah, has he not been to see you yet?"

Meanwhile:

Teemo "WHY IS CONSTRUCTION SO SLOW, MOVE IT, FASTER! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Back at Corporate Mundo's Office:

Gnar "Well, if he shows up, don't listen to his lies. And please find a way to turn us back."

Soraka "Wait, guys. I think we forgot about Guard Dog Warwick!"

Meanwhile:

Annie "There, now you look so pretty and sweet. Just like my gwandma."

Warwick "Please stop, I'm not a toy I am a grown wolfman! Where are my friends when I need them."

Beyond the Void: Season 2 - Episode 13

Shaco trembling "DON'T. MOVE."

The man completely took his mask off. He stood there, hopeful. He then put his hands in the air and dropped the mask. The helmet's impact with the ground made a loud noise that rang throughout the forest.

Shaco sobbing "DAD?"

Ryze "No! What the f**k?!"

Yes. It's about damn time Ryze showed up in this series.

Shaco "No you're right. My dad was a cruel.. cruel man. He loved kissing everyone around my neighborhood. No one loved him back for his outwardly affection, so they tried to run. But nobody could outrun his tiny, sticky little legs."

Ryze "I highly doubt any of that is true."

Shaco "Then teach me to be more truthful. To be more wise, master."

Ryze annoyed "Alright WHAT THE F**K do I have to conjure to get you off my back? What do you want? Guns? Women?"

Shaco "WOMEN."

Ryze "No hesitation... WOW."

Ryze summons a spell and casts it in the open space. The blue energy starts to form lightning, which started to strike randomly.

Shaco "OOO get me that hot jungle lady!"

Ryze "Let me warn you. They are not tools, so don't assume that she will listen to your every command. You try anything stupid, and she will kill you."

Shaco "Yeah sure thing, master."

The spell suddenly turns purple and starts form a sphere. Ryze realizes what's about to come out of the sphere and runs for his life, but Shaco just stands there.

Shaco "HELLO?"

A monster appears.

Gnar "MUCHA MUCHA HU HU"

Shaco "OH S**T. Not you again!"

Shaco takes his dagger out and swiftly performs a bunch of ninja moves on Corporate Demon Gnar. However, Gnar's skin is not penetrable! Shaco stops and sees that his dagger is half gone. He then gives up and throws the dagger at the monster and starts to run.

Gnar "ME ME BIG BOY"

Shaco "I don't WANT NONE OF THIS!"

Demon Gnar charged forward and chucked his boomerang at Shaco.

Shaco eyeing the trajectory of the boomerang "Ha Ha. What a lame a** shot!"

However, Shaco did not know what a boomerang was. So the weapon came flying back and hit Shaco square in the face, knocking him unconscious.

Gnar "Don't mess with the big boy. Ever."

Demon Gnar took out a long piece of rope from his satchel and tied it around Shaco. He then lit his cigar, threw Shaco over his shoulders, and started to walk down the long trail.

So ... This is interesting... Riot doesn't like putting Malz in sup but their rotation system puts Malz as a doable sup...

Caitlyn Jinx - ADC Malzahar Zilean - SUP Ryze Mordekaiser - MID Nidalee Kindred - JGL Aatrox DrMundo - TOP

DemonKayApr 3, 20173 votes

Who puts Mordekaiser as a mid? I think Malzahar is mid and is support. I think so, anyway.

PureSilvrrApr 3, 20173 votes

No, Morde is better playable as a midlaner than as a support, and more commonly I think also.

IHonkForYordlesApr 3, 20172 votes

Actually he's better not played at all, which is why he has nearly the worst pick rate in the entire game. Last I heard, his rework made him considerably worse than he ever was before and he never recovered. They need to revert that rework and start over from there. And while they're at it, fix some of the bugs with the buggiest of all champions. From what I've seen, for the most part, only a few of the most dedicated die-hard Morde mains play him at all, which is why his winrate hasn't taken a toilet dive - the only people playing him are determined to make the absolute best of what's left of him that they can, just like Urgot (remember Urgot? Yeah, he hasn't been removed from the game, it's just, like Morde, he may as well have been.) When even that is barely enough to keep his head above 50%, something's terribly, terribly wrong. Galio's liable to end up the same way after the dust settles.

PureSilvrrApr 3, 20171 votes

That's why hes played in high elo, and was played in lcs. I guess hes that bad that the enemy team doesent know what to do.

IHonkForYordlesApr 3, 20171 votes

He was played in a grand total of... 3? games, compared to Rengar's... 78 apparently? So I assume you're just saying his value in NA LCS was purely that because he's hardly played most people have no practice against him. Wasn't enough to have him show at all at the most recent Worlds, even as a ban. And it's easy to find postings about how much of a total failure his rework was.

Morning RavenApr 4, 20172 votes

I think it was assumed Mord is never played. The discussion was whether he was more viable as Mid or Sup.

TheDarkinRhaastApr 4, 20171 votes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et1UeeBsd7Y da BabyRage, don't like him, don't play him, but he is a good champion. He is like vlad lots of sustain (w) dmg (q/e/r) but with little mobility so vlad.

ItsbeghdevApr 3, 20171 votes

When Morde builds Relic Shield he's replacing an ADC. He has good damage scalings and next to no utility.

Anyhow, it's also possible that it's Nid mid and Morde jg, though unlikely.

first

IHonkForYordlesApr 3, 20172 votes

The rotation finally remembered Dr. Mundo exists. How long will it be before we see Cho'Gath, Taliyah, or Kled?

grarrrgApr 4, 20173 votes

Let's see... Taliyah is up to ~43 weeks since we last seen her (starting to have trouble remembering she even exists...) Cho'Gath is at ~32 And Kled comes in at ~31
