The meme can die but Graves can't. Because he stacks lifesteal every game.

The end of an era. That dark days of cigar memes are gone.

You misspelt 'dank'. Lol.

So... are we gonna get a word from Riot about why it's back?

Didn't they take it out because of some specific country's (not USA) laws about the presentation of tobacco in video games?

Graves got his Cigar back

#Cue stream of responses that show ever more magnified versions of Graves' cigar followed by a "cigar intensifies" gif

P.S. DON'T YOU DARE DISAPPOINT ME, FORUM.

We need a new meme...

So Graves can have a cigar but Xayah can't swear?

Faceroll Tactics1 votes

She does though...

"Shit, I think I chipped a nail"

MistroTTC5 votes

That and a few other lines got removed.

Americans and swear words...I'll never understand the beeping and the censorship of swearing in the US.

Sraeg201312 votes

Fucking ironic, ain't it?

Lauchmelder3 votes

You forgot to censor it.

You rebel!

Pale Pirate9 votes

The biggest irony is that they censor nudity and swear words but violence and death are perfectly acceptable.

Kled Just Kled it.

MistroTTC6 votes

Here is the TLDR of what they said, shit is considered worse then the other swears in the game for ratings and it wasn't funny to bleep it like with kled.

MavenSong29 votes

That Traditional Sej tho. Really, all these splashes are wonderful...

Do you hear that? Thats my wallet crying ;-;

Malicious Metal17 votes

God, I'm so glad I own most of these skins.

These new splashes look absolutely Amazing!

Not to mention me low-key having the hots for Sejuani

good news for you then, sej is going to be more like morde than you would've expected. or wanted.

Malicious Metal5 votes

I played her on the PBE, I'm a huge fan of the changes to her kit and think she might be the best out of the three tank reworks.

macromite2 votes

then you truly are lost.

She might be the best, but she lost something important. something that she can't get back anymore.

Traditional Sej

That Charred Maokai is pretty awesome, too.

FridgesArePpl211 votes

Ugh, you can't just arbitrarily make a change to the lore of a champion like this. It's been well established that Graves vapes. I'm quitting this stupid game. Thanks Rito for ruining my life.

Doctor Jarvis4 votes

Look, Graves has been having a really stressful last couple of weeks. His play rate is high, his win rate is statistically low, he's considered one of the best junglers in the game. Maybe he just needed one, at first, to bring him down. Maybe that's just what he tells himself to make it alright. The why's don't matter; they don't change the facts. Once Graves tasted the tobacco again, he knew he couldn't go back to vaping.

Ebonmaw Dragon9 votes

So, New Graves can have a Cigar BUT OLD GRAVES CANT HAVE A CIGAR?

Nylisa8 votes

dear god...sejuani splashes..... :O as if she didnt look badass enough already!

Helmight8 votes

The biggest question I have is why Riot gave Graves the cigar back. Wasn't there some kind of ratings issue in other parts of the world that cause them to remove it in the first place?

Not that I'm complaining, just curious

Gragas can drink so why not?

rtbf2256182418 votes

Everyone can have a bad attitude and Graves can't have his...oh wait.

Tbh 2017 is like the killing of memes year for Riot.

DarkRitual7 votes

Good, the Graves Cigar meme can rot in hell. That poor dead horse might be able to finally get some rest.

Kingnewgameplus12 votes

The dead horse can rest? Better nerf irelia.

Shadowkirby144 votes

Quick, hide the irelia meme before Riot decides to rework her after Eve!

They already started in 2016 when they released Baker Pantheon xD

Forbidden Siren6 votes

I love Traditional Sejuani. It looks like she's taking care of Bristle during her break and someone came in with her armor, telling her she needs to get ready to go to battle.

Over Innsmouth6 votes

Charred Maokai looks fucking lit.

Corvo Attano2 votes

I love you.

riot is killing off all the memes

memes and games board needs to get into overdrive and make more memes than riot can kill

Need Gold 4 Tent5 votes

Kled and Xayah need to get a taunt/joke which happens to be a line consisting of mostly censorship beeps, and maybe even comment on it themselves.

Holy crap Sabertusk Sejuani's abs! She's been pumping IRON for this rework!

Ramza Paradise3 votes

So after all this time of wanting Graves nerfed we got a buff?? RITO PLS!

PaladinNO3 votes

Old news. I gave Graves his cigar back not long after he lost it. ^^

http://oi65.tinypic.com/wcib5u.jpg ^ Patch 5.23

But... I NEED TRADITIONAL SEJUANI IN MY LIFE!! Judging by the splash, literally too.

The only Traditional skin I am missing, and that particular skin line has, for me, been one of the best.
