Origins of the Wharf Rat

Sharjo·Aug 14, 2015·7 votes·5,417 views

Considering it's technically lore I figured I'd put it here to people get a taste of how terrifying Wharf Rats truly are. They may look cute but watch out; they'll bite yer sodding legs off.

...I don't like them.

I've met other Rioters who have said they're far cuter than poros and I just go cross-eyed with disbelief. They give me the same feeling as when you see furbies that have had their fabric removed. * <shudder> *

But they are far cuter than poros!

I like them more than Poros because they're god damn Wharf Rats. Savage? Check. Cool looking? Check? Potentially reptilian somehow? Check.

I would, but two problems - I've not got an EUW account, and secondly (and more importantly) you're Gold and I'm not even Bronze (unranked).
It would be unlikely to be your 1000th win, if you see what I mean :(

I've looked at your thread, and I've sent a word around to see if there's anyone available (but being the weekend, it's harder to find people). I do want to clarify - playing a game with a Rioter is not a promise for 1000 wins. It's something fun that some Rioters try to get involved with, but it's not something we can guarantee happens every time. There's a whole lot of you guys, and a much smaller number of Rioters.

(In other news - bloody incredible effort, getting to 1000 wins! Congrats! You have my admiration, if not my bad-teammate-playingness.)

If the actual wharf rats are razorfins in game... how exactly did bilgewater survive?

And if that question has an answer, CAN WE HAVE THOSE PEOPLE/THINGS AS CHAMPIONS?!

We need Razorfin Twitch.

Imagine the jumpscares >:)))))

glad I'm not the only one that think they're kind of cute

now how do these bilge-lions look?????

SharjoAug 15, 20151 votes

I'd like to assume they're saber-toothed sea lions the size of cows.

Why weren't we told this in the actual event is my question. I like the concepts and art and such, but to have it told to us through a Riot post rather than in story form or journal entries etc. is a bit sad to me.
