Inquisitor

Man.

Why isn't that a real LoL champion?

Jortalus

I would pay thousands of RP for that champion.

RonTheDM

I'm looking at this comic waiting for an ARAM to load.

Quid

In addition to not having a whole sword Gabe's character doesn't appear to have whole feet.

Kagera

They look more like tentacles than legs. More like an apparition than living being.

Rhesus Positive

Liefeld of Legends.

Add pouches to your champion for just $1.99 each.

Peter Ebel

I would play a Marshfellow.

Captain Marcus

Something's wrong with their mouths.

Darkewolfe

Man, don't I feel this sometimes. I actually had someone in game yell at me the other day for sub-optimal itemization on random free champ XYZ. "Bitch, I don't even know what my ABILITIES do yet!"

Skull2185

All hail king Marshfellow!

Zombie Hero

I have never played LoL but i would start playing it if marshfellow was actually a thing.

Jasconius

i understand the all random part

what does "all middle" mean

Gaslight

Don't mobas usually have like, different lanes on their maps? So maybe "all middle" means everybody just takes their random character they don't know how to play and ineptly dukes it out in the center of the map for the lulz?

rembrandtqeinstein

The whole "teamwork" and "strategery" thing isn't for me but if random brawling without knowing what you are doing is what is happening now that just might get me to try it.

Artereis

So...make the Marshfellow and give codes for it away at Prime?

Kitsurubami

All Random All Mid was a community-made mode, where both teams would hit the 'random select' button and stick with what they get. The only lane that people could go to was mid lane, and you also weren't allowed to head back to base to buy items until you were killed. It wasn't enforced in game terms, but people stuck to it because it was a fun and frantic way to play League. It originated in the first DotA.

Riot has since made an ARAM map that is one lane and has these rules coded into it, including random champion selection and not being able to buy or heal once you step off the summoning platform.

Like Gabe's Redeemed Riven skin, by the way.

godmode

I'm a bit confused by some of the art choices here: Namely the mouths of Gabe and Tycho in profile and the feet of the hero in the last panel.

Bobble

That cloud is so happy.

kingworks

Sword-lady with Gabe-face is ... disturbing.

DrDreidel

Sword-lady with Gabe-face is also a badass in the game.

Skull2185

She should have a blacksmith take care of that sword for her.

DrDreidel

Q: Too delicious - Taunt which gives nearby enemies insatiable hunger, they try to eat him while giggling.
W: Fluffernutter - Marshfellow rides a cloud of marshmellow fluf leaving a trail of stickiness that slows enemies for 20/30/40/50/60%.
E: Staypuft - Marshfellow is chased by ghostbusters, giving him a 50% movespeed buff for 2 seconds.
R: Roasted Marshfellow: Marshfellow instantly spawns a campfire and turns all enemies into graham crackers, disabling them while Marshfellow spreads his warm marshmellowy goodness on their bodies doing zero damage but looking hilarious.

It reforges when she ults. And it's about as big as a regular sword even broken, so it's not much of a disadvantage.

No one uses regular size swords though, so it's a disadvantage.

Aside from Garen, most people's weapons are pretty proportional to their size. Fiora just has a plain ole' rapier, for instance.

Lucascraft

I'm honestly a little surprised that they're still playing LoL. Not speaking against the game directly. Only suggesting that there are so many new games out there that I find it odd that they continue to invest their time in an old game. Especially an old game with such a reckless update schedule. And an ever-changing metagame.

Lucascraft

As a follow-up post, my first thought regarding the Marshfellow was Mallow from Super Mario RPG.

Perhaps you answered your own question :P

Skull2185

Best. Newspost. Ever.

Undead Scottsman

Marshfellow should be voiced by Alan Tudyk doing his King Candy voice.

Y/N?

Platy

Noooot a fan of the sidemouth

Agreed. The Newspost truly elevates this comic.

Naphtali

New Riven secret passive: Her feet are tentacles.

Maybe it makes her immune to roots and snares. That would be a pretty fucking good passive. Although if Corki isn't immune, I guess small feet wouldn't help either.

ARAM: All Ranged, All Mid.

If you aren't a ranged character, and aren't a tank, prepare to get blown up by CC for 20 minutes.
