http://pm1.narvii.com/5775/c051baa1e81533e782ab76fd391d4f8df4f3e4ef_hq.jpg They were cute and vicious please for the love that is all of existence bring back these scaley little furballs. I want them back so bad, at the very least, make it so there's a Wharf Rat poro skin for the abomination that is Poro King. (In all seriousness it was fun at first but after the 20th time they put it up, it was boring.)

I just imagined the Wharf Rat King. I deeply regret it.

It would be Razorfin king actually, since they become razor fins https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nLTcepg35iQ/hqdefault.jpg

Awwwwwwww It's like a weasel shark rat thing! It's so cute! Probably until it bites you and gives you a whole bunch of diseases...but yeah.

While we're on the topic of purely cosmetic things being brought back, I miss my spirit wolf..

How does that have any idea with them being cool to see late game? And furthermore what did you mean by that?

Riot has said they aren't bringing back Blackmarket Brawlers, which is very unfortunate for the community (this was answered in a previous Ask Riot). Supposedly it is too hard to balance both the minions and items it had (yet they did it when it came out... odd they could do it that time). The minions and items were also in Butcher's Bridge, so we probably won't be see these little guys at all unless a skin for ARAM is made of Butcher's Bridge (without the minions and items from when the original was out - as Riot doesn't want to do the extra work).

Wharf Rats had nothing to do with BMB, they were simply reskinned poros and could easily be brought back as poro skins.

They wouldn't make any sense unless Butcher's Bridge was back. They aren't winter creatures.

Also, you didn't read my post apparently. I never said they had anything to do with BMB. I took the chance to touch on BMB and Butcher's Bridge in the same post.

Where I touched upon Wharf Rats: "The minions and items were also in Butcher's Bridge, so we probably won't be see these little guys at all unless a skin for ARAM is made of Butcher's Bridge (without the minions and items from when the original was out - as Riot doesn't want to do the extra work)."

So... you're saying the rest of the Poro skins make sense? Like the gentlemen poros? Or the star Guardians? Or anything related to skins has to make sense? And also, when a Freljord champ is on SR there'll be a poro in their base. Why not the same for Bilgewater champs? Also, this is a post on Wharf Rats, not BMB, the are related sort of, admittedly, but in the end a Wharfrat Skin for poros would have no need for BB to come back. Let alone BMB.

As Poros are winter creatues, yes, they make sense in the Frejlord and in ARAM. Additionally, they make sense in Poro King mode as well. Wharf Rats make sense in their appropriate climate (hence Butcher's Bridge map that is related to Bilgewater). Poro skins from the associated icons have nothing to do with this.

Yes they do. I'm saying Make a wharf rat skin for the poros. Poro skins HAVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS. You didn't read my post apparently...

They didn't balance both when BMB was out, though. The minion aspect of the game mode was essentially non-existent - almost no one really noticed they existed or even remembers them very well. Everything centered around the items.

Upgrading minions in BMB was essential to winning lane. Perhaps you didn't play it? Upgrading the Ironback and Plundercrab was the best (melee and long range, respectively). Unless both teams didn't upgrade the minions, then what you are describing didn't happen. Maybe your experiences were different, but people were upgrading and using them in every game I played.

a Butcher's Bridge skin is currently on mapskins.com. However, it is broken, and im no mapper/skinner and nobody knows how to fix it

Kinjishi1 votes

Riot probably could, but they'd have to put resources into it. :/

I have a idea let's create a icon and let us use them in poro king!

Can we get plushes of these plz

That actually sounds interesting. Should make the Wharf Rat variant of the Poro King game mode. Maybe call it, "Tales of the Wharf Rat Captain" where you see a Wharf Rat pirate jump down and we get to have Battlecast Wharf Rat icons.
