A Corporate Matter: Episode 18:
"Hey, why is there a broken van outside my window?"
"..."
"Its a mystery van you say. Well, i sure they will come in and ask for my help. Because, who needs to work."
"Sir, there is four kids and their talking "cat" here to see you."
"..."
"Why do you have such a grudge against the words, 4 kids? I guess i will go see what non-sense task these guys have for me, i'm bored anyways."
"Hey there, our uh, machine broke down. We were hunting a nightmare creature at the boxing house."
"Ah, you are the headhunters i have heard about. What type of machine is it?"
"Its a mystery."
"..."
"Yeah, you were right, sona. So, Headhunter Akali. Tell me more about what you want."
"We were wondering if you could show us how to get to the boxing house. When our van broke the GPS went out, now we don't know how to get anywhere."
"Its only a five minute walk, but i need something in return."
"We can give you the full dvd release of one of our movies. Rengar-Roo! and the Loch Ness Cho'gath."
"Deal!"
Four and a half minutes later:
"Well, we made good time. This is the place.
"Rut ro, this place is scary. Ri, lets get out of here."
"Calm down reng, i'm sure its like, completely safe."
"Looks like some locals are in a fight, lets see whats going on."
"I dont care, boxing in haunted house dangerous for systems. I am thing of logic, nightmare monster defy that which i was based on."
"You are under contract fool, you have to fight for me, the king of clubs."
"I checked, contract does not apply to robots. I can not be legally obligated to anything. Goodbye."
"Runs away"
"What are we going to do now, i bet everything on Boom Boom Blitzcrank beating Knockout Lee Sin."
"I don't know, jack of hearts. That stupid Nightmare Tryndamere myth is ruining everything."
"Nightmare tryndamere, that is who we are after."
"Well, please catch him quick, or else we are gonna be out a pretty penny."
"Lets go talk to this, Knockout Lee Sin."
At Gragas Esq's office:
"I think it might be working boss, let me just put on one more show tonight and that should seal the deal."
"Yes, my mafia friends will be very pleased with this. Shh, someone is coming."
"Hello there, we wanted to talk to you about this nightmare running around."
"Yeah, its a real shame. It sure is scaring Boom Boom Blitzcrank a ton. I hope i still get to fight him." "Snicker"
"Is it true that its based on an old legend of an ancient tomb that this place was built on?"
"Yes it is, now get out of here and stop asking questions!"
"Jinkies!"
"Well, he is the nightmare. Mystery solved, can we like, go home now?"
"No, he didn't do it. Its too obvious. Its got to be one of the people we least expect, probably Jack of Hearts Twisted Fate. Well, lets go look through that secret passage that just opened up."
"Wait, we need to split up and set a trap. Headhunter nidalee and cait, go get a trap ready. The rest, follow me into the passage."
"This place sure is old and dusty. Oooh, is that a golden tablet, MINE!"
"Isn't that stealing? Oh nevermind. Hey, here is a statue of the nightmare tryndamere."
"Not a statue."
"ZOINKS!!! RUN FOR IT!"
"Well, we made it out."
"Not all of us, Rengy Rengy Roo, like where are you!"
"Right here Ri. B-b-but so is rim."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
A chase seen ensues, it involves a lot of doors closing and opening, running and some music.
"We caught him in our traps."
"Yeah!"
"High five"
"Now lets see who this really is and solve this mystery."
"Pulls off hood"
"Yes, its me."
"Gasp"
"DARN IT!"
"See, i was right. But like, why?"
"I cant beat a robot in a boxing match, how is that even fair? So i had to scare him away. Besides, who else could wear this hood other than a blind guy. And i would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling champions. And your stupid cat/lion/tiger thing."
"But, how did you get in and out of the tomb so fast?"
"What tomb? I have been up here the whole time."
"Ok then, mystery solved. Lets get out of here while we still can."
"Agreed."
"Runs away"
"Alright, move it along. I got another fight to get to at my bar. Some new girl that sounds really tough."
Meanwhile:
"Eh, a thief. My servant is also missing. Guess i gotta do it myself. RETURN THE."
-To be continued.
You forgot the Rengy-Snacks xD
"Alright, we are almost ready to catch the yeti. We just need you two to lead them into a trap."
"Nuh uh, not this time."
"Would you do it for a Rengy-snack?
"
"No ray, we are not rive bait."
"What about two super Rengy-snacks? 
"
"Uhhhh, uhhh, DEAL!"
"Yooo rooo, rover here."
"No yeti, dont fall for it. Its rengar, not a girl yet- ahhhhh!!!"
"Rut ro, We better rrrrrun!!!"
"Got him, now lets see who this yeti really is."
"trys to pull off yeti head"
"He is a real yeti you idiots, now he is angry, you wont like him when he is angry."
"LETS GET OUT OF HERE GANG!"
new girl at
bar? could it be... THE DELLRON DRAGOON CROSSOVER!!!
I don't know if a crossover would ever work. We have very different styles, both in length and content.
This will not however, prevent me from making a reference when i can, muhahahah. "Quietly sneaks away, back to his story chamber."
Get...back....HERE!!!!
That Courage reference. So beautiful 
Just you wait until the next part.
I've dreaded for this week to come..... Free to Play Ekkos :c
Unless his nerfs also come out tomorrow, im gonna be annoyed...
Time to get heavy cc teams to murder them Ekkos (pretty lucky to have leona and naut in the same rota)
It's gonna be like entering a deep cave...
's everywhere
You know he has like a 40% winrate among players who've played less than five games with him, right? Get ready to be handed free wins by terrible Ekkos.
and free losses

and
c:
Looks like pm playing ranked or draft all week so I can be free from the OP Ekko... Ive seen like 30000 pentakills with ekko
then ban ekko XD
that's WHY hes going ranked/draft. re-read is post.
ekko....free? ಠ╭╮ಠ
honestly thresh should be more available or supports in general like pls....
All your missing is Cassiopeia and
and you got the whole Shurima gang.
Its time to D-d-d...d-d-d-d-d-d-d-Dance back into PvB mode for a while...
not ekko :/
How is Yorick never free? >.<
He's banned from the list, like Tristana, Poppy and Alistar. Idk why though.

I think he was removed from the rota due to his kit 'needing a serious rework'. Honestly he is playable as he is right now but his kit lacks that wonderful oomph that Rito wants every champ to have.
That and he somewhat lacks counter-play because he has everything: -ranged slowing AoE -auto-attack boost -speed buff -SO MANY MINIONS (SO HARD TO CLICK ON) -life steal -teammate/self revival (even if it is temporary)
All of that, AND his passive makes him deal more damage and take less damage the more minions he has active.
Trist and Alaster because you cna get them for free by watching Riot on Facebook and youtube. the other two because they are unbalanced and Riot wantes to fix them at some point.
and
aren't banned from the list, only
and
are.
is gonna be in every game now, I can tell you that...
He already was the second he came out

I dont think Ekko is going to get nerfed.
Not sure why everybody is freaking out over him. His trades and combos are fairly predictable... he's honestly not that hard to answer if you're paying attention, and his win rates are pretty much dead on 50% across the board. He's not that OP. I'd much rather lane against him than against a LB or Zed. He's really no different from playing against the other midlane assassins with good teamfights and duels.
Not even. His average winrate in midlane is only 46%, and only barely brushes against 50% when the player has played 5+ games as Ekko. Then it dips to 42% if you've played 15+ games. His winrate is just kinda bad across the board.
hmmm... just out of curiosity, where do you collect your data? What you quoted was comparable to what I found, but not the same. I'm seeing 48.63% win rate in soloQ and 50.26% in normals for the past week.
Sorry, my bad. I was using champion.gg statistics, and had forgotten they only use Plat+ ranked games.
can i get
on the FTP please ?
