league of legends

The Anime Studio Shanghai Zheinlei put together an awesome League of Legends anime short, which features some of the more recognizable champions like Tryndamere, Dr. Mundo, Leona, and more. Maybe Riot will be inspired enough to create their own anime series now...

Special Effects mastermind Steven Wang (known for his work in Underworld and Predator, respectively) was enlisted by Riot Games to put together this bad boy.

Looks like Riot finally swung that Ban Hammer. A statement released by Riot:

"Hey all,

Instant Feedback catches the most unsportsmanlike players in League, but some people go out of their way to continue ruining games for the community. Because of a well-documented history of account bans for verbal abuse, intentional feeding, as well as account sharing/purchasing, evasion of sportsmanship systems, and player harassment, we will not allow Tyler1 to hold a League of Legends account, indefinitely. Any account definitively used by him will be banned immediately upon identification.

We know we’re not perfect, and this dragged on too long, but we want you to know when the rare player comes along who’s a genuine jerk, we’ve still got your back."

Some people think this elderly woman simply mistook Galen for Guan Yu, but are we really sure? The statue happened to be located outside of an internet cafe, so it stands to reason that this lady might actually just have wanted to make her incense offerings while kneeling before Galen.

And this guy does it like a champ.

Gbay99 made a bet on Twitter that if one League of Legends pro team beat another, he would eat his sock. Guess which team won? Luckily (?), gbay99 is a man of his word, and cooked up a sock with some mushrooms. Mmm-mmm.

League of Legends streamer RaihnbowKidz has announced her retirement "as a boobie streamer." She's got about 200,000 followers who watch her play League on Twitch, many of whom are probably there for teh bewbees, but RaihnbowKidz is tired of her breasts being the main focus of her stream:

I don't have the energy to do it. I got to the point where I could no longer watch myself and I feel like once you get to that point where you can't even watch your own material, or you don't want to think about your own material, you're not in a good place. I find myself...focusing on things I shouldn't be rather than the game.

RaihnbowKidz intends to continue streaming, just with more focus on her skills and less on her assets. To illustrate her point, RaihnbowKidz put out this video showing how she prepares for each stream she does, essentially hiking her boobs up to impossible heights. It's hard out there for a streamer with boobs.

For real though, vomit audio warning.

Nice League of Legends cosplay

League is funny, but the fans are funnier.
