A Corporate Matter, Episode 13:

Gnar "Alright, Calm down everyone. You there! Stop biting him. No! You can't eat that. You can't eat me either. I hate bring your Poro to work day."

Soraka "Ahhh, come on boss, they are so cute. Besides, what else are we going to use this playground outside the office for. You know, you should really get a poro, i bet he would be adorable in a little suit like yours."

Gnar "No thanks, they are a lot of work. You have to feed them, but not too much, otherwise you end up like Sejuani and her Poro."

Soraka "Yeah, but you can bring them to events like this, have them meet other Poros and become friends with them. Which could also let you be friends with said Poro's owner."

Gnar "You sure about that. Because right now, Sona Poro is playing a song while your poro is doing some dance with her little moon staff. They seem to real good friends now."

Soraka "What! Come here Snookems, we don't hang out with that one, it is a bad influence on us."

Gnar "Rumble Poro, don't you dare turn that flamethrower on. Zed Poro, NO! you can not assassinate Ashe Poro. Hey, i told you not to turn that on, you are going to burn somebody. Stay out of the sandbox with that thing, you will turn it to glass. Oh sure, do the exact opposite of that i told you, well now you have no sandbox."

A mini sand tornado started rising from the sandbox, in it, 4 figures appeared.

Xerath "Back away from the sand!"

summoner 31Rumble "No"

Xerath "INFIDEL! YOU DARE DISOBEY US! DO YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE!"

Gnar "The black eyed peas?"

Xerath "WHAT? No, we are the guardians."

Gnar "So, like Santa and the Easter Bunny?"

Xerath "NO! Those are other guardians, whose name makes no sense at all."

Soraka "So, you are related to those owl thingys right?

Skarner "Well, i guess some of us bear slight resemblance to a bird. But no, we are the guardians of the-"

Gnar "Galaxy?"

Khazix "You see guys, this is why i told you guardians wasn't a good name, there are so many other guardians, that we get overshadowed. Like i always say, change is good."

Xerath "We don't care about your opinion, you are lucky you even get to be one of us."

Soraka "Yeah, why is Kha'zix one of you? The rest of you are from Shurima, so i get it. But Kha'zix is from the jungle/voidy place."

Khazix "I needed the job, i look close enough to a scarab in this armor, so they let me stay."

Xerath "A decision that i have many times regretted. Now, back on topic, WE! are the guardians of the sands. And we have detected danger to sand here."

Gnar "What, this? its just a sandbox that had a little bit of it turned into glass, not a big deal."

Xerath "ALL SAND IS A BIG DEAL, IT IS PRECIOUS TO LIFE. WITHOUT SAND WE WOULD BE NOWHERE, WITHOUT SAND WE WOULD HAVE NO MEANING." "sob"

Rammus "It ok."

Skarner "You see how important sand is to us. Just tell us what happened and promise not to hurt the sand again."

Gnar "Well, its bring your poro to work day, and rumble poro wouldn't listen with his flamethrower."

Khazix "But, aren't Poros like, cold creatures. its pretty warm here."

Soraka "Common misconception, they live in the cold because they can survive it, and its where their favorite food grows. But they are just fine here as long as you buy the right food for them."

Xerath "Ok, just promise if we leave, the sand will not be hurt again."

Gnar "Well, i will do my best, but the poros kinda do what they want, and a lot of them can hurt the sand."

Skarner "Ahhh, look at them all."

summoner 31Ziggs "Boom, heha."

summoner 31Corki "Weee."

summoner 31Annie "Burn"

Khazix "Its, horrifying."

Xerath "The sand will never be safe here, Let us take it back to Shurima, where no one will hurt it."

Rammus "Ok."

Suddenly, they turned into a sand tornado again. This time, it flew into the sky, and with it, all the sand in the playground.

Gnar "Welp, there went the sand, now we just got this square hole in the ground."

Soraka "Yeah, that was odd. At least the poros have plenty else to play with. Oh, look out."

summoner 31LeeSin "Kick"

Gnar "Ooof, right where the sun don't shine. I hate bring your poro to work day." "Collapses"

why is rumble poro Rumble summoner 31 but everything elsesummoner 31LeeSin ?(poro,champion or champion, poro)

King Dellron3 votes

Oh no, someone noticed. I was going with first format. But i later thought it would look better the other way. so i switched it around. But the rumble one didn't save, and so he got left like the first way. It only lets me edit my post for about eight minutes, by the time i noticed it, time was up.

I would be interested to know which one you like better, in case i do another poro story.

Also, you messed yours up too, makes me feel better about my mistake :)

Nami ,Janna ,Sion ,Yasuo and Zed . Champions I've really wanted to try but haven't been playing long enough to earn the IP for them all. This'll be a good week.

Doesn't help if she ults herself before the mark detonates.

Bavacavalata4 votes

Why is there no Nocturne or Shaco or Viktor in any FTP list ever? I just wanna play characters that are not stinking ashe or varus... EVERYONE OWNS ASHE RIOT. It's litterally the first champion anyone ever buys...

annador32 votes

...not to burst your Nami bubble, but Ashe was actually the eighth champion I bought... And only because I needed to buy more champions to try ranked 5s with some friends, so I bought all the 450 ip champs.. Jinx was actually the first I bought.

annador32 votes

For some reason I am unable to edit that post, so I suppose I'll just tack it on here..

And, to be fair, it has been six rotations since Ashe was free last, and nine since Varus was free. That means there have been 12-18 other ADCs free that you could have played in the time between.

When was the last time Katarina was free?

MuffleMouse4117 votes

Honestly, Kat's only 3150 IP. Just buy her.

its ya boyy3 votes

I don't want to buy her. I was just looking at the all of the last free champion rotations and I can't find her at all.

JerrBear71 votes

When I started as a noob i got her with my beginning RP while she was on sale. I couldn't play her at all back then, I'm happy because I got the Kitty Cat Katarina skin though! :P Katarina

I am so bad at kat. I can only get triple kills before I start hitting buttons in the wrong order and mess up the combo leaving someone alive.

Why is Shen still not freeShen

Anoni K1 votes

He is maintaining the balance. For all the times 450ip champs waste a free slot when it only takes 2 days to get them.

Tyrant Ken2 votes

Ahem, it take 5 game to get a 450 ip champ, 3 if we count wins + daily bonus.
