Seriously! Annie gets murdered a hundred times a day! She gets eaten, exploded, splashed with acid, shot, sliced, diced, attacked with radiation, incinerated, turned into a ghost and enslaved against her will, has a love charm cast on her by ahri (she's apparently a pedo), frozen, trapped on black ooz that corrodes metal and desolves flesh, and so many other things! And yet graves isn't allowed to smoke......

One of these is completely unrealistic, and involves lots of fire being created from peoples hands. one of these happens in real life, and kills several hundred thousand people each year. Which do you think is more worthy of a censor?

fire being created from peoples hands......you mean Brand ?

usul12022 votes

Annie was the intended, since she is the topic, but yea brand works as well. He's a pretty angst-y guy anyway.

Did you see her dress in Omega squad teemos preview? I'm still stuck on what he did with her body.

usul12022 votes

She's pretty small, can't be too hard to hide...............

GenoXx3 votes

Yes, but the fact he took her clothes off as a souvenir........

usul12025 votes

Sometimes he just likes to look pretty................

.....a little girl is killed by a yordle and stripped of her clothes <.<.....

That dress survives massive amounts of fire and brimstone, and still looks fabulous. Teemo clearly needed it. Sometimes tactical armor just isn't the right outfit for the occasion.

Your missing the point

usul12021 votes

That would be because I have actually had the realization that this is a game, It is designed around having fun, and therefore I refuse to take offense from a joke not aimed at being offensive. Its not that I'm missing the point, its that i don't believe that it is a legitimate one, and therefore allow myself to joke around with the joke.

lol, laugh a little

usul12021 votes

That is literally why i made the original reply, and the couple after it. I was laughing and joking. That didn't get through to you, so I decided to be a bit more clinical. Guess I'll try somewhere in the middle now.

That reminds me of the Bridgekeeper's robes from fallout 2. They were just stained, smelly old robes, but they were as good as combat armor.

usul12021 votes

Those might be a little big on teemo though............... (any artsy people wanna try anyway?)

I agree with you man. Graves is Graves, and what Graves does is blow peoples faces off and smoke a cigar while sitting on their riddled corpse full of buckshot holes.

With how many times I've been 1 shot by Annie , I can only say that she deserves whatever she gets.

Smoking should be banned everywhere, but thats just me. I hate the cigarette smell.

Embertine1 votes

I know what you mean. I've lived for years with family members smoking around me and I hated it. However if people choose to fill their lungs with smoke it is up to them, I just wish they were more considerate to those around them.

To bad the smoking buttholes smoke in front of my faculties main entrance, I always have to pass that smoking section. Its good I dont have anyone in my house who smokes anymore, I hate it when the cigar smell stucks on your clothes.

First of all, Annie is a bitch not a nice person so sometimes she deserves it sometimes. But, lets talk reality here. Annie is a virtual little girl. She might get: murdered, sliced, eaten by chompers, eaten by cho'gath, eaten by anything that has a mouth, attracted to the same sex, blown up with a nuke, blown up with ice, blown up with the power of exploding gargoyles, and just killed by anything that can touch her but again shes a VIRTUAL LITTLE GIRL. Another thing: as long as she doesn't actually die (Respawn is the reason she can become Kenny from South Park) it really isn't that big of a thing. Also: Why do people always forget the following when they make threads like this: Gnar IS physically a child, all yordles look LIKE children, and Nunu IS a child. Jeez, annie gets all the attention since she is the only one that has a hard knock life apparently. I don't really see why its so important for Graves to smoke on screen. I mean, it'd make him look badass but other than that...why does it really matter? It doesn't seem like a really big deal. I mean its annoying from the fact that his splash art has him smoking but thats the only thing that bothers me about it. Also, I'm gonna join the whole, lets not advertise smoking 24/7 thing so people don't get curious on what smoking is like and try it bandwagon. (Also, I feel as if Graves wouldn't be a guy that would ALWAYS be smoking but I feel it'd be cool if you could toggle him doing it, like night hunter hoods.)

Actually yordles may have small bodies, but that does not make them children, similar to midgets being small yet can grow into adults.

And also since we are talking about Annie being a virtual person and thus her dying does not matter, well graves smoking is a virtual thing to and thus would follow the same logic. Therefore it would not matter that he smoked.

And just to be clear, I'm not defending smokers or anything, I actually do not smoke. What this is about is pointing out the obvious flaw in Riot's logic regarding what can be seen as "ok"

SeductiveGrandpa1 votes

Yes I'm completely aware yordles aren't children but I find it weird that nobody ever categorizes yordles with Annie in these kinds of threads, its like people assume shes the only child (Nunu is an actual child along with Annie.)

Embertine1 votes

Yeah I know nunu's a child as well. I guess most people don't really see him so much as they see the yeti, so they often forget that nunu is a child like annie.

SeductiveGrandpa1 votes

Eh, I can't blame them, the first time I saw Nunu, I thought that was the yeti's name.

You forgot "that she gets abused by tentacles".

Some countries found the cigar use objectionable. Hopefully this is a joke thread but you obviously don't even understand it.

[Insert comment about Gragas here.]

Alcohol is still a drug that kills millions a year, yet that gets through ez-pz. Yes, some countries took umbrage with smoking, but nobody gives two shits about alcohol just because society has had it nearly since its inception.... just like smoking? I like the myriad of double standards that comes with drug usage.

Alcohol, isn't a drug.....

Going by old current lore, on the fields of justice, champions feel pain. They may be very strong individuals, but they're killed many times a day while feeling the pain that comes with it only to go back and feel the pain of death once again.
