There’s time for one last snowball!

Riot·Dec 15, 2015·1 votes·16,725 views

The snow might be melting away, but there’s still time to toss one last ball of icy awesome. Spend some time on the frozen banks of Howling Abyss and grab a poro-fied icon before the Legend of the Poro King game mode snows away. A flurry of Legacy Snowdown skins, wards, and icons are sliding into the vault soon as well, so don’t freeze up and miss your chance to grab something cool.

And if you’re feeling lucky, get the Legendary Snowball rolling by picking up a Legendary or Ultimate skin to receive a free Mystery Gift! If that Mystery Gift is a Legendary or Ultimate, you’ll get another free Mystery Gift…. It’s called Legendary Snowball for a reason, if you catch our drift.

Get into the Snowdown spirit before it all wraps up on January 7. Also, we’re sorry about all the snow puns… but not really.

... why do I still play this game...

I am not prepared. No scuba gear.

I know this is going to be downvoted forever, but Limited Edition skin owners are still waiting for that survey Hippalus promised 2 years ago.

And we're still waiting for proper compensation -- a tiered icon and an in-game emote when using those skins would be more than enough.

Come on Riot, keep your promises!

Pope Of NopeJan 5, 20166 votes

they do, but it might take a lot longer than two years, sion rework is proof of that

StexeJan 5, 20166 votes

Well, yeah. It took Riot 2 years just to announce Magma Chamber was canceled. We're still waiting 1+ year later for Ao Shin cancellation confirmation or any update on his status... =/

NikanoruJan 5, 20169 votes

Poor Ao Shin. I just want somebody to tell me "we've most likely scrapped him" or "we'd like to work on him in the future... maybe... but we've put our efforts elsewhere." Just something... anything... a snippet of their plans.

Prepare for Zed , Sona , Garen and to get disabled. Just a heads up.

SoryInAdvanceJan 6, 20161 votes

Riot will have a riot on their hands if they do.

Edit: but if they want to disable just garen and sona, i wouldn't complain. Garen is ridiculous with the 700 true damage, no mana ult and Sona's q just hurts a lot, early.

ÇhåryzårdJan 6, 20163 votes

Yea but she is extremely squishy too. 1 blitz grab and if your adc is nearby she's either dead or running away with a chunk of health gone. She's good from a distance, but if you get in her face she's very squishy

SoryInAdvanceJan 6, 20161 votes

She's just a bit annoying in the first few of levels. After that she isn't really a problem. I just can't stand ridiculous point and click execution ults.

SoryInAdvanceJan 6, 20161 votes

I don't actually think sona is a huge problem but when she hits a q and an auto in the first few levels, that's like 150-200 damage and i just dont like that much damage early on from a utility support. Also garen's inability to die because of how ridiculously tanky he is makes it really hard to counter him with a low mobility mage or low mobility adc which are pretty much all i play. And being borderline bronze/silver (maybe? I don't play ranked at all so I'm not sure where i belong on that spectrum? i'll say silver 4 ish) i will make positioning errors and when I get a 700 true damage ult thrown down on me, there is no opportunity for me to try to outplay him, make an escape, or have my team help me at all. Excecution ults like chogath, garen, and darius are just really frustrating and do way more damage than seems fair.

Soul BladeJan 5, 20163 votes

So, does anyone know what the actual percentage of getting a successful Legendary Snowball is? Say I buy Primetime Draven, what are the chances I get another Legendary skin (like the Blackfrost Anivia I've had my eye on)...

1MindsEyeJan 5, 20163 votes

It depends on how many champions you own, and how many legendaries you have left to purchase(the pool size), but they modified one of the announcements to specify it's weighted with a high chance of giving another legendary. I bought 8 legendary/ultimates and got 3 legendaries free(2 were snowballed from just 1 purchase :D (1purchase+free leg+free leg+regular free skin))

Autrah FangJan 5, 20162 votes

"Say I buy Primetime Draven, what are the chances I get another Legendary skin." the chances are 0% since Primetime Draven is 975 :P

AsianNinja008Jan 5, 20168 votes

Primetime Draven Draven Draven Draven might be 975 RP, but it's still a Legendary skin.

Snowball is a freaking ripoff! Buy legendary and get a free skin for that same Champion... You would think with all that money, Riot would be able to code some sort of simple programming to prevent that from happening even once.
