Due to unexpected events, I was unable to write a story for this week. It's about time to end season five anyways and last week made a pretty good finale. Not sure if I will be able to start season 6 next week or the week after, I'll let you guys know next week.

In the meantime, LOOK, TALIYAH AND KLED STILL AREN'T FREE!

BabyNaixJul 10, 20171 votes

I feel like aatrox was free recently. I remember trying him out.

IsettoxJul 10, 20171 votes

Not all that recently but yeah hes been here

grarrrgJul 11, 20171 votes

Last was about 3 months ago, and he runs 4-5 months between.

I think this is the first week where I own every free champion.

Also WHERE'S MY SHURIMAN EARTHBENDING KILL LA KILL BROWS AT

Aww, Kled isn't free this week either.

Oh wait! I already own him. :D

Newbie128749Jul 10, 20173 votes

oh LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK IIIIIIIIIITSSSSSSS JJAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

stop putting janna or nami in the rotation for a while and put kled or taliyah thank

grarrrgJul 11, 20174 votes

Janna and Nami are Supports. The two you listed are top/mid. There is no overlap.

Newbie128749Jul 13, 20171 votes

the point is that they're much more frequent than Kled and Taliyah

grarrrgJul 14, 20171 votes

(almost) EVERYONE is more frequent than Kled and Taliyah, seeing as how they've only been free once each.

They put (at least) 2 options for each role in the free rotation each week. Janna and Nami are Supports. Kled and Taliyah are Top/Mid. You could remove Janna and Nami from the rotation entirely and it would not affect Kled/Taliyah in the slightest. Support also has the smallest pool of champs to pull from, meaning they HAVE TO show up more than other champs.

WHERE'S KELD?!?

P3NANC3Jul 10, 20172 votes

Am I the only one noticing... SYNDRA primary: Mage Secondary: SUPPORT ?!?!?!?!???????? HOW IS SYNDRA MORE A SUPPORT THAN MALZAHAR?

TerozuJul 10, 20175 votes

Her main CC is not in her ultimate.

grarrrgJul 11, 20174 votes

And she has a Slow and a Stun/Shove. The best he has (non ultimate) is just a Silence. Reminder: a Support champ-tag is not the same as "this champ is a great support lane". (In as much as tags mean anything)

galaxygoatsJul 10, 20171 votes

we get lulu again?....

BabyNaixJul 10, 20172 votes

Hello

N00bertIsAsianJul 10, 20171 votes

Why not put kennen in the free rotation :c

Gamma AnomalyJul 10, 20171 votes

Is Malzahar ACTUALLY that difficult? Is there a reason he's two levels more difficult to play than Kindred and is on par with Lucian ? This isn't really supposed to be sarcastic I've never played him before but he seems much easier than the other two champions I listed.

TerozuJul 10, 20173 votes

His minions actually carry a very steep learning curve, but Kindred should probably be at least on tier with them.

Cherry BellJul 11, 20171 votes

I will say as an avid Kindred player, her "difficulty" is definitely higher than it's listed. Also, Lulu is listed as a higher difficulty than Kindred, which is definitely not true.

TerozuJul 11, 20171 votes

Well, from what I can tell, it's generally talking of skill shots, and Lulu has a lot of "skill" invloved, while Kindred has "Mechanics", it's kind of hard to classify difficulty in league in general.

Cherry BellJul 12, 20171 votes

Lulu has a lot of skill? Could you show some examples? I don't see a lot of her abilities requiring much skill other than logic of who to use them on, and when. (such as her W and E, maybe even R.) Since most of her abilities (other than Q) are click the enemy/ally and they're a guaranteed hit, if I remember correctly.

TerozuJul 12, 20171 votes

It's mostly her E-Q combo, which let's her have a higher skill cap then it might first seem. In addition while Kindred's options are pretty straight forward, Lulu has to make choices regarding her W, and E's different effects based on whos she's casting them on. She requires a lot of analysis.

BabyNaixJul 11, 20171 votes

Is kindred good now or still really weak?

Cherry BellJul 12, 20171 votes

I don't play Rift much anymore, so I wouldn't know for there. But they are pretty good in Twisted Treeline, as long as you aren't jungling against a really good Graves or Lee (The banes of my existence).

IsettoxJul 10, 20171 votes

Camille, Kled, Taliyah. Where. Like i swear we JUST got Ez lulu and Janna.

lllIllIlIlJul 11, 20171 votes

Quick question: why are we still using the old obselete stats on these? They don't even exist in the game anymore.

BabyNaixJul 11, 20171 votes

Can't wait to try kindred :D Is she good now or still really weak?

AxelA4Jul 12, 20171 votes

Yusss Syndra is back, but roit......WHERE IS MY GOD DAMN BUSHY BROW EARTHBENDER AT.....

mysticinfamousJul 14, 20171 votes

Taliyah and Kled on weekly rotation is even rarer than good team mates*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

mysticinfamousJul 14, 20171 votes
