I feel like she's a good showcase of how to make a "simple" kit that's still fun to play. She doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but she has a single incredibly important decision point with her ult that will make or break fights depending on how you use it.

I think it's supposed to be K-pop? My musical tastes are loving video game OSTs, so I can't really say.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

It's good that they finally made a K-pop skin for Ahri, it was about time I tell you!

Man Tencent must have been pressuring Riot really hard on their financials for them to make this skinline.

I feel like the problem with every new Janna skin is that you look at it and then think, "This isn't Forecast Janna."

At least you're not like me where I'll do dumb gimmicks that may or may not work, so I don't get bored. I've made a number of goons quite unhappy doing it over the years, but sometimes things just click. I got to platinum doing jungle Kassadin, had a blast kickstarting support Sion (back when mpen runes were still a thing), jungle Heimer when your turrets would still farm monsters for you while you were ganking, etc. Just all sorts of dumb random poo poo.

EDIT: They really dropped the ball putting Evelynn in K/DA when they could've put Diana, or even Draven. Darius or Dr. Mundo would be funnier, but don't really fit.

I mean, K-Pop Draven would look funny, but it'd hardly be a best seller, and Diana's been about as popular as the flu for what feels like years. The thing Evelynn, Ahri, Kai'Sa, and Akali all have in common is that they're popular, well-liked champions with a lot of sex appeal, and are therefore going to sell K-pop skins like hotcakes.

It's more that the names would match up with KDA than anything. But vOv

There's already a line of metal skins. Give me post-punk skins Riot. Let me play as Karthus but he looks like Ian Curtis.

Every time I don't ban Akali under the assumption that the enemy team will ban her and they pick her instead I regret it

Back to permaban status, most cancerous champ in the game atm

Haha I actually probably had my most tilted game yesterday due to an akali. So much of her design just boggles my mind how riot think it's okay.

Fruit is proof that the gods exist and love us.

Just kidding!

Life is meaningless
W had a lot of hidden tower pushing and objective utility; midgame if you get an early ace you can give 20%-80% ASOS to your team, and lategame you can give 40%-160% asps which is a TON. Now that it’s gone, it having better combat utility in exchange for less macro strength is a good thing.
