Jayce, the Defender of Tomorrow, brings his mighty Mercury Hammer to the League of Legends. This suave and charming warrior possesses plenty of brains to match his brawn. He built his massive war hammer from scratch, then added a high-tech cannon for a devastating combined attack. While he can rain down crushing blows from close range, his gun allows him to vaporize enemies from afar… and he delivers it all with the confidence of a self-made man.
Welcome to the Jayce Champion Spotlight, summoners! Jayce takes decision-making to the extreme, as he’ll choose between fighting as a melee or ranged champion, picking up a different set of abilities in each form. Jayce can wade into the heat of battle with the Mercury Hammer, or pick off targets from afar with the Mercury Cannon. Jayce not only plays differently throughout the game but can build for an entirely different experience in each individual match. If you’re interested in a jungler, fighter, ranged carry, or even a mix of all three, take a look at the Jayce Champion Spotlight!

G'day summoners! Mundo's holdin' me wife and little ones hostage until I tell you about our new skins and champions, so I'm on me best behavior! It reminds me of the time I was stalking the elusive Cho'Gath in the wilds of the bot lane. That little bugger had me cornered and almost fricasseed my wallaby if you follow! Never, never, never confront a wild Cho'Gath in his chosen territory. When you hear those nom-nom-noms, it means he's poised for the kill, and his Vorpal Spikes really leave a mark.
Okay, Mundo's tellin' me to get on with it. He's also poundin' on the table with his cleaver which I do not want to get in front of. Y'see, the average Mundo sports this massive cleaver and when he spots his prey he smashes it down in a… right, this is me, gettin' on with it.

If you’re ready to add a little versatility to your fighter or ranged carry game, look no further than Jayce, the Defender of Tomorrow. Jayce’s transforming weapon allows him to adapt to nearly any situation, making him an extremely versatile champion for whatever role you need filled on the Fields of Justice.
The lynchpin in Jayce’s kit is his ultimate. Starting with a free rank at Level 1, Jayce can activate his ultimate to transform his weapon into either the short range Mercury Hammer or the long range Mercury Cannon. Each time he transitions he’ll receive a bonus effect on his next basic attack that either shreds the target’s defensive stats (ranged mode) or deals significantly increased damage (melee mode).
Every day Summoners create thousands of posts on our forums. With all aspects of League of Legends, our eSports scene, and the Community under discussion there’s always something cool to read.
Each week we want to highlight a thread that is interesting, informative, or just good fun. Our Thread of the Week for 4th July is ongoing gold from Mowarth!
If there’s anything that we’ve learned over the course of the years, it’s that creating great champion artwork requires a great deal of forward thinking – particularly when you’re talking about the Defender of Tomorrow. Luckily for us, if you look ahead far enough, inspiration can sometimes strike like the blast from a massive cannon, or a heavy-hitting blow from a gigantic hammer.
Please enjoy this high-speed capture of our rendering of Jayce, the Defender of Tomorrow.

Corporate Mundo working hard, as usual, but slacker peons make him sad. His administrative assistant say she can't come to work today. Say she "getting married" and she "asked for day off six months ago." Mundo need proof before he grant one-day absence. Engagement rings can be faked. So can photos of fiancé sitting on peon's desk for three years! Mundo want marriage license, peon. And sworn testimony from minister. No photocopies. Notarized! *NOTARIZED!!!*
So productivity grind to halt until peon fix paperwork. While Mundo waits, he hit up cash bags with new sale on skins and champions. You like? You buy! Profits make Mundo forget how much peons waste time.

(Corporate Mundo hate talking to customers, so he breaking in new spokes-peons to help him with skins and champions sale. Each week, he test new potential spokes-peon. Then he lock peon in office and make him push skins and champions sales. First up, Blast Zone Heimerdinger. Dance for cash bags, Heimerdinger!)
No, don't beat me! I… oh, hello! I apologize for my appearance. During my installation of Corporate Mundo's new massage chair this morning, I triggered an unfortunate thermal-based reaction. While attempting to recalibrate the chair's transinductive hypercolligulator, I'm afraid I miscalculated the exhaust vector. As a result, Mundo's office now smells like a cut-rate smokehouse and the pain in my own form is… let's see, what's the word…? Oh yes: excruciating.
Before I hobble off to the medical kiosk, I wish to point out a number of discounted skins and champions. If you purchase them, Mundo promises to use the proceeds for the creation of The Heimerdinger Hospital Ward for Unforeseen Experimentation Malfunctions. Please donate generously; Mundocare can't begin to cover all of my bills!
- Lulu has perfected the art of whimsy, which sadly makes her a competitor for my recently patented Whimsy-O-Matic 3000. Purchase her for only 487 RP.
- Malzahar has shared some fascinating notions of void energy and its potential for turning household appliances into fully functional Armageddon engines. I'm intrigued by the possibilities, but am still willing to give him to you for 487 RP.
- Shyvana's experience with all things flammable should ultimately be able to solve the heat disbursement issue that gave my skin its current smoky texture. She'll be finished soon and you can buy her now for 487 RP.

Team SoloMid has built an impressive lead in the NA branch of the circuit, driven by top three finishes in six events and stunning victories at IPL4 in April and MLG Anaheim in June. Counter Logic Gaming stands as their closest competition – 325 points behind TSM – followed by Dignitas, who trail them by 615 points. Both teams have a chance to catch the leader, but they'll need to make impressive showings in the season's last three events to do so.
In addition, a few key shifts have taken place with several teams:
