We've got a lot to go through, so let's not waste any time! You've all said in the past that you would all love a new support champion, and I agree, and lo and behold, Riot answered with a dubiously adorable new yordle champion, Lulu, the Fae Sorceress!
Personally, I really like her. I'm not the best with her yet, but now that she's been given some time to balance out and people have had time to learn her, I think she's a welcome addition to the Fields of Justice!
Next up is definitely the IPL--the IGN Pro League! The intense tournament took place over the weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A., and you can catch the highlights here. Did any of you catch the coverage? I couldn't catch everything since I was on vacation half the weekend, but what I did catch was pretty intense. What did you all think if you caught any of the coverage? Did you have any favorites? Were you rooting for anyone? Did you think the commentators were douchecushions?
Hecarim. Oh boy, Hecarim. This guy is looking fierce, that's all I can say. And anyone who doesn't like hybrid champions definitely isn't going to like him. On the other hand, if anyone ever wanted to see Mordekaiser as a 'taur, well, here you go. Weirdos. I'll try to have a more timely update for this bad boy this week.
Last but not least, we actually have an additional champion reveal, one that we won't see for another few weeks, but lo and behold, who should be assisting Riot in this other than the incorrigible fellows Penny Arcade?! Check out the cool contribution they've made to newcomer Varus, the Arrow of Retribution, here! Does Ashe, one of the League's most widely recognized figures, finally have a counterpart in this shadow archer-looking fellow? Not to mention, for those who dug the Journal of Justice and League Judgments, finally, a new Judgment to satisfy your cravings for character craft.
This along with more gameplay changes in the future, including attempts to make Kayle be less awful and the ever-looming stealth rework, are certainly going to change the game in ways that I believe to be for the better. But I still have work to do on my end to keep this group going strong. I can't let laziness get the better of me. It's clear that a lot of you care about the game at least as much as I do, so I owe to myself and the rest of you to run a better group and build a better sense of community! As I may have mentioned before, there is a furry chat room on at least the North American servers, simply called "Furry". I'm set to log into the chat room at all times, although I'm admittedly not the most talkative of fellows in-game, and sometimes matches are even formed out of the scalies and fuzzballs that inhabit the room!
Which leads me to my next point, actually. Someone who's name sadly leaves me right now gave me the idea of trying to start some all-furry ARAM matches, ARAM being All Random, All Mid. It's a special type of custom game designed to just be a ton of fun, where everyone chooses a random champion in a custom game and everyone is forced to only go to mid lane. No jungling or nothing, and you can't go back unless you die! It's a silly and often fun game mode, and now that I'm learning more about better streaming, I'm sure it could even be streamed for anyone who would like to show up, maybe even with some Skype buffoonery! What would you all think of something like that? I sure think it sounds like a great idea! If you guys have any other suggestions or anything of the sort, leave a comment, or note me, preferably on my main account so I can read it sooner!
Thank you all for reading, and I hope you all enjoy your matches! May your kills be high and your feeders be few!
kamunt signing off for now! I leave you with one last bonus video, courtesy of Berin, whose user name I can't remember right now, either! This is part of the pain of being a programmer, and why it's no longer my career goal.

-Hecarim
And ARAM? Oh hell yes XD Even tho I still haven't quite leveled my US Account any further, the lags are just horrific for me.
Also fuck Lulu. Not enough gems and I highly doubt she's truly outrageous.
Also Lulu is pretty fuckin sweet and I would be down for the all random all mid game too.
But Lulu...SUCH a good support she is. Not overpowered, but definitely not ignorable either, since she can completely neutralize an enemy for a few seconds and pull off four clutch saves in a short time (more once you include summoner spells and items).
Lulu feels like she kinda fell of the chart for me, I don't see her much anymore. She's definitely good and that ult is like a pocket cockblock for almost killing someone XD
