#A Corporate Matter Episode: The Do's And Don'ts Of Protesting

In case you missed it, I posted a teaser here last week.

Garen "Hear ye hear ye. Make way for the Lunar Reval Parade!"

Ezreal "BOOO!"

Azir "Yes, it is I, your glorious leader. Please, everyone, bow down and cheer for me. For it is the year of the rooster, and I am him."

Camille "Cheer for you? We should be stopping you."

Azir "Peasant, protesting my rule is unsportsmanlike and just plain salty."

Kayle "Did someone say unsportsmanlike? ALRIGHT, WHO NEEDS THE BANHAMMER?"

Camille "NO PLEASE, I'M SORRY. PLAYERS JUST STARTED BANNING ME LESS THAN 100% OF THE TIME."

Taliyah "He's working for the corporates. They are enforcing his rule, they must have him in their pocket."

Azir "That is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. I do what I want, say what I want and no one can stop me. There is no conspiracy, I am the rooster for the next twelve years. Anyone who disagrees can get deported to the other side of my Emperor's Divide."

Vi "Unfortunately, that is completely true."

Ekko "Well, you're not my rooster. COME ON, WHO'S WITH ME? NOT MY ROOSTER!"

Talon "NOT MY ROOSTER!"

Teemo "NOT MY ROOSTER!"

Ezreal "Anivia should have been this year's rooster."

Azir "Anivia was corrupt. She was a Blackfrost, can't you dumbos see that? I plan on having her arrested as soon as I find her. But like the criminal she is, she has vanished and all we could find is this stupid green square with her name on it."

Anivia "Meep."

Garen "I think maybe we should take away his ability to talk to the people. He is only making things worse."

Azir "I am so glad all of you showed up to celebrate my amazingness this is the biggest most hugest crowd of any parade. I am simply the best, and you all recognize it."

Vi "Yeah, you might be right."

Talon "You know what, I can't take it. I shall sacrifice my own life to take yours. Maybe then Runterra will still have a shot."

Azir "You sure about that? Because then Valor, my Vice-Chicken, will take over. And he is even more racist and Yordlephobic than I am."

Talon "Look, man, I'm an angry millennial. Reason isn't going to work with me. NOW DIE!"

Kled "Finally, I have been waiting all day for one of you to make a move. Shoulda figured it would be you, Renegade Talon."

Talon "Not just me, RENEGADES, ROLL OUT!"

Ekko Gangplank Akali Zed "TIME TO KILL AND DESTROY, IN THE NAME OF PEACE AND LOVE!"

Kled "Glad I called in the riot squad. Thought somethin' like this would happen."

Graves Singed Nasus Kayle Blitzcrank **"STAY BACK, CRIMINAL SCUM." ** Kled "You best get ready. CAUSE I'M ABOUT TO OPEN THE BIGGEST CAN OF WHOOP ASS SINCE SKT VS SAMSUNG GALAXY GAME TWO."

Talon "Heh, I'll just hop over this wall and-"

Kled "Ult locks on."

Talon "OH DEAR RITO, IT FLYS THROUGH WALLS! SOMEONE CC IT!"

Ekko "I CAN'T IT'S UNSTOPPABLE!"

Talon "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Kled "Vicious! VICIOUS!!! VICIOUS!!!!!!!!!"

Zed "That's it man, I only signed up to assassinate one psycho. Not whatever this thing is. I'm out."

Blitzcrank "Not if I have any say about that."

Zed "I hate my life." "Gets pulled."

Kled "KILL 'EM ALL!"

Graves "Good thing I brought real bullets then."

Talon Ekko Gangplank Akali Zed "Dies a most horrible and painful death. Not even oranges, time travel or shadow tricks can stop the peace keepers."

Kled "Alright, peace restored. And what's left of the bodies can be sent back to their parents in a few envelopes. Saving us on shipping. We are true Valoran heroes. You can head ho- Hang on, I hear some yelling. MORE PROTESTERS!"

Caitlyn "Oh hi there, Corporate Kled. How's it going?"

Kled "What in this Rito forsaken planet is on you ladies heads?"

Caitlyn "We are protesting the over sexualization of our splash arts. It has gotten to be too much and we want it to stop."

Vayne "I mean just look at this thing, who poses like that when fighting a monster. Not only would I have to break my back, but it's just not effective."

Caitlyn "And this, I mean. There is no way that leg could even connect to my body."

http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Caitlyn_0.jpg

Kled "So, you're not breaking things or trying to kill anybody?"

Caitlyn "Nope, well, we did light a couple of the Warring Kingdoms Azir supporter's hair on fire. But that was it."

Kled "Alright, that's pretty funny. Well, as long as you are ain't perturbing the tranquility. I can't stop ya. So have at it."

(Well, we did it. Two years. Been fun. To celebrate, I would like to announce that I am working on a website. Which will have all the previous episodes, as well as any new ones. I hope to have it up by next week, assuming no delays. I'll let you know then. As always, thanks for reading.)

Rip that joke.

super psyched about the website I love reading your stories. But I gotta say, of all the characters that could have been protesting the over sexualization of their splash arts, Caitlyn and Vayne seem to have some of less sexualized splash arts in the game... still can't wait for next week's story :)

Where is Taliyah am I rite? I haven't seen her on free week since she came out lol, but i've seen Thresh on at least four rotations since Taliyah 's last appearance;moreover, according to the detailed explanation of how you choose the rotation, I'm a little baffled because thresh isn't easy to play and he is way too frequent

grarrrg1 votes

Can't help with Taliyah, other than they only promise "all champs free eventually".

As for Thresh, they try to put 2 Free champs for each position, and Support has the second* smallest pool to pull from, so they tend to repeat more frequently than the other roles.

(there are arguably fewer ADC's to choose from, but they don't get as many complaints)

Is it just me? Nobody has posted anything, but these are not the free champions on the client this week. I get Braum, Diana, Gragas, Hecarim, Lissandra, Lulu...etc

grarrrg1 votes

They are posted Monday, go live sometime Tuesday.

Maximus Paine1 votes

Thanks. I've always seen the new free rotation champs on Monday morning, though. Also had this happen on Tuesday AM.

Anyway, this happened while paying customs in Legacy client. I played a couple, quit for a short while and when I came back the issue was gone.
