League of Legends news:
The contest is over, the votes are in and we’re proud to announce the winners of the second League of Legends Comic Contest! Over 480 summoners put their artistic and comedic powers to the test but ultimately it was up to all of you to narrow it down to the 32 winners. We’ve all spent the last month laughing, crying or staring… somewhat confused… at the wealth of amazing entries but don’t take our word for it. Check out the winners below
- You slowly awake in a dark, damp room. Thick, smoky air floats by the few shafts of sunlight that have slipped past a boarded window. The unmistakable clack of stilettos against concrete gets louder with each strut as Mafia Miss Fortune slowly comes into focus. 487 RP
Feeling better? It might take a while. We knocked you pretty hard on the head. You've got dangerous eyes, summoner, and I like that. However, I'm still figuring out where your loyalties lie. Fortune doesn't favor fools, so answer truthfully. Are you working for the Twitch family?
- No, hmm? That's the answer you're going with. If you'd like to get pulverized by Longhorn Alistar a few more times, that's your call. We're trying to make things easy here. 260 RP
- Yes? Much better. It's a shame that Emumu already blew your cover as a Twitch family operative. All your secrets spilled on the floor just like his salty tears. 487 RP
Patch 3.5 is about to go live, and we’ve got the details for you listed below. Read on to find out who’s hit the gym along with who’s been carrying a little too hard and exactly what we're gonna do about them.
Dra-ven! Dra-ven! Dra-ven!
The chanting grows louder. Gladiator Draven, spattered in blood, throws his glowing blades into another helpless fool. Fiery effects adorn his deadly abilities and as Draven spins his axes faster, sparks and embers fly from their freshly-forged edges. Anyone deemed worthy of death from his ultimate bears witness to a mighty spectacle: two mighty axes ablaze as they churn through the ground for another brutal kill. His enemies eviscerated, Draven prepares for his return to base and turns to the crowds to hear their roar of approval one last time -- they are most definitely entertained.
My father told me once, “Poppy, if ever you fall on hard times, take up my hammer and smith your way out of debt.” So that’s what I’m out to do.
Headhunter Nidalee tracks only the most challenging prey, her menacing armor scarred from previous encounters. With feral, predatory animations, including a sabre-fanged xenomorphic form for her ultimate, Nidalee stalks the wilderness girded for battle. New spell effects and sounds further evoke an otherworldly huntress on the prowl.
We’ve talked a lot about giving Karma a complete overhaul, and we’re ready to discuss her changes. Karma’s relaunch is the real deal, covering her art, abilities and lore for a total renovation. We know she’s been the source of a lot of contention since her launch, but we also know that she’s got a cult following of Karma diehards. Here’s an overview of why we think she needs a rework.
Have questions about Karma’s complete story, visual and gameplay relaunch? These folks are holding a reddit AMA this Tuesday, March 19 from 10 AM to 12 PM PST to answer all your burning Karma questions:
Zac, the League’s hexchem-fueled Secret Weapon is about to hit the Fields of Justice. Playing this gelatinous champion means striking a balance between health-cost abilities and a unique regeneration mechanic. Here’s your first look at what this blob’s amorphous abilities bring to the table.

Help us test our new contest system by voting in the Champions “Off-the-Clock” comic contest!
Champions are busy clashing on the battlefield every day, vying for victory and glory. But what happens when champions are off-the-clock? Swain interrupted in the middle of an important strategy meeting? Lux at cheerleading practice? Cho'Gath in the Cho'Bath? Whatever’s happening, you’re choosing the winners of our newest comic contest! Here are the details:
Challenge: Create an original League of Legends comic that shows what champions are doing when they’re not battling on the Fields of Justice.

The Digi-Art Throwdown contest has come to an end and you all made it a huge success – the competition came right down to the last pixel! Out of over 5,500 entries, we had to whittle things down to just 17 winners. We’re pleased to put another awesome digital brush into the hands of our grand prize winners by sending both of them a 22-inch HD Cintiq tablet. Check out their winning submissions!
- Champions, when will you ever learn? Step into my office. Nurse Akali here to make those boo boos feel all better. 487 RP
- Thunder Lord Volibear came in complaining of a sprained ankle and tension headaches. Rampaging across Summoner's Rift on all fours can't be good for an armored bear's back. I'm prescribing two of the largest acetaminophens I can find. 487 RP
- Complaining of nausea and lack of balance, Temple Jax should get on a real diet before jumping around like a madman. Too many red potions and energy drinks will take its toll, you know, and that's before the kidney stones kick in. Rest up for a match or two and things should settle. 487 RP
- Shyvana's suffering from some minor fractures and bruises after she streaked through the sky in dragon form and crashed headfirst into a wall. Think before you gank and you won't be in so much pain! 487 RP
- Oh, look who finally came down with a case of scurvy! Gangplank, you can't skimp on the oranges if you expect to stay healthy on the battlefield. Take these tablets and you'll be right as rain. 395 RP
- LeBlanc, you may be a conniving trickster who eludes most inspections, but you still can't hide from my x-ray machine. You'll fork over gold for every broken bone I find and fix. 395 RP
