Fuck your 5 man gank. =D

Illaoi x Vekkers fan fics?
Malicious Metal10 votesEven Mordekaiser seems like a wussie compared to Illaoi. Tough woman; check! Commands the power of a god; check! Juggernaut; check!
Now if she's AP I'm sold. Even though Morde will probably kill me for picking someone else up for top lane o_O
Seriously though, she seems like a great addition to the game.
Nechronia11 votesShe's even ripping people's souls out better than Morde D:
Malicious Metal8 votesOh Snap! :o
Don't you dare leave me! I thought what we had was special T^T
frigginmurlocs1 votesSo you putting down the mace?
Malicious Metal6 votesNope, I'm acknowledging a tough female champion amongst the Juggernaut ranks.^^ Haven't had one of those recently
Still, Mace>Spooky tentacles
Ralanr9 votesWell damn. They didn't give many spoilers beyond her role in the story. Honestly if we didn't get those voice lines spoiled I wouldn't have thought she'd be a champion.
Thank you for a not skinny chick! We have enough of those!

The leak spoiled the surprise a little bit, but hopefully you're all still excited for her! Illaoi was a lot of fun to work on, and she's a really neat champ overall.
Sharjo9 votesHow can I not be excited?! LOOK AT HER!!! I'm so hyped right now!
RiotRiot ShadowStorm21 votesHow can I not be excited?! LOOK AT HER!!! I'm so hyped right now!
Haha, glad to hear it! Reception to her character was great during Shadow & Fortune, so we're all excited to finally get to show her off. I'd rate our internal hype at a 10/10(tacle).
Saixos7 votesIf I may ask, who was the champion designer behind her? (Who can we blame and flame later on :P)
RiotRiot ShadowStorm9 votesIf I may ask, who was the champion designer behind her? (Who can we blame and flame later on :P)
Beat Punchbeef! He was also the designer on Rek'Sai. But as always, this was a major team effort, with lots of people contributing and making her as awesome as possible.
Yuri By Mail10 votesCan you convert that excitement into a quantity of gems?

Quick question: Why is her hair in the splash art red, but black in-game?
I think she would look better as a redhead in game....would bring a more fiery, fighting look into her.
RiotRiot ShadowStorm4 votesQuick question: Why is her hair in the splash art red, but black in-game?
For the splash, I think it's the lighting that is making it appear red. The edges (away from the sun) are darker, and more accurate to how she is in-game.

Ah, alright. A bit disapointed since i thought it would be a better fit to her, but it looks good either way.
59Crowken3 votesI think the red hair is better, just feels it fits her character better than black hair
Rune Ocarina9 votes*readies to get downvoted
Gratz to people who wanted a character like this. Unfortunately she's not catered to my tastes so she's a pass for me.
Cuix13 votesThat's fine; there are already plenty of champs who cater to more standard tastes. Diversifying is good on a number of fronts.
Shénzhì8 votes#@Riot
Finally a female champion with visible muscles! So what does this make Riven? Why has Riven not developed any muscles? I'm pretty sure Riven's sword can be heavier AND she constantly dashes and dives.
No muscles Riven. Is Riven ill?
Cuix9 votesVi, Sej, and Leona are also pretty odd in terms of how their body types relate to what they're actually doing, but progress comes in small steps.
Noctius287 votesVi, Sej, and Leona are also pretty odd in terms of how their body types relate to what they're actually doing, but progress comes in small steps.
ok let me try to make this clear Riven, Vi, Sej and Leona are all strong but most of that lifting comes from magical objects or technology that slightly break the rules
Ilaoi is a BEAST of a woman who is carrying a solid ball of what I assume is Brass, and using all her might to swing it around, not to mention she is from a place were physical labour is a lot more prevalent, plus you can notice she is literally big bonned Hell she probably can punch as hard as Vi with no need for high tech gloves
Please stop insulting other characters just because they dont fit your personal tastes, I love Vi and Riven how they are, they are alot more anime inspired and that is awesome I also love Ilaoi, she has a very unique silhouete and is likable in her own brutish way
Just appreciate the variety
terkmc1 votesWut Sejuani is pure strength and grit, what magical object and technology you talking about?
Noctius281 votesWut Sejuani is pure strength and grit, what magical object and technology you talking about?
true Ice, also not to mention centrifugal force combined with tecnic, not just brute force
terkmc3 votesHer true ice flail only allow her to manipulate ice, its still 100% her strength to swing that thing around
She walked into blizzards without food or furs and trained while frigid winds raked her flesh. She clashed with the strongest warriors of her tribe, one after another, until her legs gave out beneath her
Sejuani is absolutely a woman of brute force. Centrifugal force is even more in Sejuani favor, because she has to swing that flail up to damaging speed and keep it swinging over her head. Swinging things at high speed require a lot of strength
Ralanr2 votesI don't believe magic is implied in any of the reasons as to why they can lift (or in 
's case, smash) those heavy weapons and armor.
I'm not bashing their designs. I'm just happy for more diversity in female champions. Maybe we'll get a grandmother next!
Praxitilies2 votesLeona Is the champion of the sun, and her Magic armor literally manifested on her body as a direct result of the Sun's will, the same for Diana.
Ralanr3 votesI thought the armor was passed down from the order and she used the suns powers in other ways?
Praxitilies1 votesYou're right about the armor. I hadn't read her lore in a while, but she is still the chosen one of the sun, empowered by it just like Diana was empowered by the moon.
Ralanr3 votesShe's also from the Rakkor tribe.
leg day.
Kuroi868 votesSo... her and GP used to...
Well... you go man. 
Praxitilies7 votes"Yarr, a good night of snu snu be one of life's greatest pleasures."
Zarkkast6 votesKraken Priestess is such a stupid title. [zombie-brand-facepalm]
I was expecting it to be Priestess Of Nagakabouros.
All in all, she looks amazing.
Shadowkirby1425 votesLet's be honest, Priestess Of Nagakabouros is a bit of a mouthful to say than Kraken Priestess.

Let's be honest, Nagakabouros is a bit of a mouthful to say than Kraken Priestess.
Ralanr10 votesLet's be honest, the announcer didn't want to say Nagakabouros.
Stars Shaper19 votesLets be honest, you all copy-pasted Nagakabouros because is terrible even to write it.
Sharjo7 votesNot me! I learned my lesson after I realised it wasn't spelled Nagakaborous. NEVER AGAIN WILL I MISSPELL HER NAME.
Sharjo5 votesAnd Nagakabouros means fuck all to anyone who doesn't know the lore behind her. Plus Krakens are still a major part of Bilgewater mythology, so it works out.
Zarkkast6 votesWell, just because it works doesn't mean it's an interesting title.
If I read Kraken Priestess I'm like "k", if I read Priestess of Nagakabouros I'm like "ooh, what's that, this seems interesting".
There's just infinitely more depth to it.
AlldaySkandi6 votesI know shes meant to be a top laner but how bout mid lane illaoi like an immobile control mage/bruiser kind of thing
Waffletimewarp22 votesMy first thought on seeing her kit- "What if Heimerdinger was a Juggernaut?"
SpecterVonBaren6 votesNot enough walls for her passive. As short as the lane is, there's actually a lot of room to move around it and most of the champions that go there are ranged or have ranged waveclear.
A Superb Villain5 votesShe's like Bilgewater Braum, but not as nice!
