We've finally done it. We figured out a way to go back to the good ol' days. But can @RiotPabro get @RiotMeddler on board?
Tune in to MSI Finals on July 11 at 11pm PDT to find out.
hot league of legends take
if zilean was a cute anime girl
his playrate would 10x overnight
same kit
same abilities
same ult
just turn the bald old wizard into a 5'4 anime girl with twin tails and an hourglass headpiece
playrate goes from 0.8% to 8% in a single patch
and the worst part
it would be EARNED
because every single one of you reading this knows you wouldn't be locking in the wizard
you've never thought about playing zilean in your life
beard down to his stomach
sandals
man looks like he hasn't been TOUCHED since the dark ages
zero of you have a zilean skin
zero of you have watched a zilean guide
there are zero zilean mains
but make him a girl who says "hehe~ time stop uwu?" when she ults
and suddenly you're lobbing zilean BOMBS across the map at 2 am
suddenly you're the "zilean specialist" in your friend group
this isn't about the champion
this is about you
you don't want to play league
you want to pilot a fictional 5'4 hourglass cute girl
riot understands this
that's why every new release is a girl
that's why ahri has 500 skins and kled has 4
the player base doesn't pick champions
we pick the ones who we want to acknowledge us
zilean is invisible because he looks like an old man
make him a girl
watch the play rate explode
we are deeply unwell as a species
and riot's only job is to keep monetizing it
