Basically how this week will work is...

Maokai - Never Dies

Fizz - Everyone Dies

Diana - She was nerfed to oblivion so She dies

Lulu - 1 person doesnt die as fast as the others

Galio - I feel bad for whoever picks AP champs against this guy

Gnar - Not this guy again...

and...

Yasuo - Everyone is "Patiently" waiting for his new skin (Rito Plz)

Strider IcarusSep 1, 20146 votes

Haha, I see what you did there... Nope no overused Lee Sin pic, just gonna say though, those little dots up there aren't periods, when there's 3 of them they become ellipses. I'm never getting a girlfriend... (< More ellipses, LOVE IT)

Leave a comment Yasuo s skin just came out

FuzzyearsSep 2, 20148 votes

Diana is still strong, if played right.

regularguy3Sep 2, 20142 votes

Idk she's like akali but akali can wait to get to 6 a lot more efficiently.But Diana needs a buff its so hard to stay alive in fights ever since her shield got needed hard

IZenoraSep 2, 20142 votes

I play Diana all the time and i dont have a proablem with dieing much (when im not feeding cuz i sack) I find people build her way too glass-cannon. Build RoA,RCS,DC,LB,HG Boots and your should be fine. Change the Lb for Void if needed

NinjaToad99Sep 1, 20144 votes

Well he wasn't free for like half of the week (Random bug apparently) so people would throw a fit if they didn't make him free again.

Joan De ArcSep 1, 20143 votes

There were 11 champions in the other champion rotation, WHY?

Zuri chanSep 1, 201423 votes

Well gnar was supposed to be free last week but there was a bug so he originally wasn't. Halfway thru the week they resolved it. So they made him free along with that weeks other free champions. But since he didn't get a full week free, they're making him free this week also.

PogarSep 1, 20143 votes

Maokai I am Groot.

ParylFerriluxSep 2, 20143 votes

Sweet~ I'm looking forward to trying Fizz Lulu and Velkoz . They interested me lol and sweet, even though I bought him when he came out, Gnar is free again~ hes so fun to play as xD

Bird JezusSep 1, 20142 votes

I'm so lost... Wasn't gnar just free? He even has an explanation point on my screen.

OelykSep 1, 20143 votes

Also 2 out of 4 champs with 100 difficult ratings. Take it easy.

regularguy3Sep 2, 20147 votes

Maybe he just wants SO MUCH UNTAPPED POWER

Captain CalciumSep 2, 20143 votes

Then all he has to do is just tap that ass. Draven

MaddogLiam54Sep 1, 20142 votes

Another week of Gnar? Will I ever be able to play top again?

Warrior of IoniaSep 1, 20142 votes

Gnar really isn't that hard to go against, all you do is shut him down early with someone who has a lot of sustain/gap closers, like Riven, Irelia, Fiora, Shen, etc.
