I will admit a lack of vision control was eminent, considering I would blow all 3 stacks of my ultimate in a fight before Rek'sai came in from the side, immediately targetted me, and knocked me up before I had the chance to do anything, and in the blink of an eye I was from full health to zero. The fact that she only needed her two damage items and just went straight to magic resist tank made it so that even after I charmed, I still had no chance to get away or blow her down in seconds.

Well, some of the deaths were strictly made for plot purposes, others were in memory of people. I'm assuming most of you don't know about or weren't around for the Reborn League. It was hosted on Pokemon Online and there was a huge roster of gym leaders, each controlled by one person. There were some things that happened between and in the lives of these gym leaders that were accurately recorded in Reborn. Corey and Kiki both died in real life, and their deaths were displayed semi-accurately within the games. Corey did indeed commit suicide, and Kiki did die from an illness (was most likely due to Garchomp for for dramatic effect). Even events aside from deaths were displayed within the game. There was an actual custody fight over Luna in real life between Radomus, Elias, and Serra, if I remember correctly. Also, Amaria suffered from amnesia due to an accident in real life. While it hasn't been displayed in game yet, it can most likely be used, as well as other untold events, to predict progression and plotline within the game. Keep in mind, even characters who weren't gym leaders in game, were also gym leader in the Reborn League, such as Fern, Elias, Lin, etc. However, most characters in Team Meteor were not gym leaders, and therefore came straight from the mind of Ame, such as Tara, Eclipse, Solaris, etc. As for the female deaths, such as Tara and Eclipse, they're probably meant for the fact that they each have someone who adores them and that we might be able to use that...?

Tfw 9-0 as Ahri against Akali for first five minutes of the game. Went from that to 13-9 and lost the game cause Rek'sai did that thing where she's broken.

That is definitely an unfortunate incident. I'm sorry to hear she was put in that situation, but it's good to know that she's in good shape, as that's what matters most in this situation.

A movement from behind Ryan caught his eye. He recognized the outline to be Kage, so he wasn't intimidated to turn around. "Hey Ka..." Ryan had turned around mid greeting and froze when he saw the disheveled mess that was his boyfriend. If he wasn't intimidated then, he sure was now. "What's wrong?"

Ryan held his hands in front of his knees to prevent the miniature fiery moth from falling any further. He then picked Corona up with his hands and gave her a kind smile. "I'm sorry you lost your balloon so quickly. I'm sure James will be able to fetch it for you, m'lady." Ryan spoke gently to the Larvesta as he stroked her head with his index finger, back and forth, in an attempt to soothe her. He then turned to look at Danielle. "She's precious. Unlike this one." Ryan juggled Larvesta into one hand and used the other to scratch Victoria on her chin. The little green dragon chuckled and tumbled into Ryan's lap. She looked back up and prepared a tiny flame. "Now now Victoria, we don't use fire to solve issues." The little dragon sighed and then gave a sound of disapproval before turning to watch the battle.

Here we have a new featured game mode known as "Nemesis Draft." Sounds interesting to me. Prepare for Urgot, Poppy, and every other basic troll pick. Here is a quote from L4T3NCY about it. Our first Featured Game Mode for the year, “Nemesis Draft”, is on its way to the PBE. This time around, you’ll be choosing the champions for the enemy team, then making the champs you’ve been given work in battle on the Summoner’s Rift. Let the 'creative' comps begin. Some notes: -- Nemesis Draft is a 5v5 featured game mode played on Summoner’s Rift. -- Nemesis Draft allows each player to choose 1 champion for the enemy team for a total of 5 per team. -- Each team will still get 3 bans. Do you bans champs do DON’T want to play, or leave them up to give to the other team? It’s up to you. -- Available champions for you to give the other team are allowed from the collective pool of champs on your allied team. -- There is a free trading period after all champs have been locked in, allowing you to organise amongst your team who would be best playing which champs. Even if you don’t own a champion, you’ll still be able to trade and play anyone you’re given.

Ryan was making his way through the crowd, Victoria jumping around on his shoulder and Glacien trying to keep his balance on top of Ryan's head. He had almost completely walked past Danielle and Claude when Victoria pointed at the two and started yelling in Ryan's ear. He turned to see the two together, enjoying the battle together. "Well I just couldn't pass this up now, could I?" Ryan slowly snuck through the row behind Danielle and Claude, and was relieve to see there were a couple open seats behind the two. He continued forward and stopped behind the two. "Mind if I join this fabulous crowd?" His voice was the same as when he had first met Danielle, having that flamboyant drag to it. Ryan leaned his head forward between the two, as Glacien teetered on his head in an attempt to prevent himself from falling. Ryan was actually in a great mood now. He would finally be able to show why he deserved to be here, and perhaps even prove himself to his fathers.

{Conclave Group Fl. 2} Carissa's shaky breathes steadied themselves. The blood seemed to stop flowing shortly after Jory covered the wound, or most accurately, wounds. Underneath the cloth were the first signs of 2 scabs running vertically up her neck Lealia took good care of her nails, not only keeping them polished, but just slightly jagged for exactly this reason. Carissa shivered and then slowly opened her eyes. She released a weak smile and a small breath escape her mouth. "J-Jory." Her voice was incredibly faint, and Jory would be lucky if he heard the simple word. She took her hand and placed it onto Jory's cheek, rubbing his face gently. She didn't care if it was something in a cliche romance movie. Jory had saved her. But she was in absolutely no position to continue just yet. A camera in the far corner of the room shifted from Lealia to the emotional couple. The lens zoomed in, and it was clear that Carissa was alive, saved by her love. On the floor above, the mother slammed her hands on the desk. "Those despicable Team Dusk heretics! How did that bitch live?" The mother was infuriated. She shoved her computer off of her desk. The screen cracked over the display of Jory and Carissa. "Such a shame, if she had pulled it off, I would have surely honored the girl for her loyalty. Looks like you've failed once again, Lealia." The mother's eyes shifted to her pokemon. "It's time to prepare for the inevitable, my dear. It was always you and I against the world." She gently placed her hand on top of her partner's head. The pink weasel stiffened herself, prepared for a fight. Meanwhile, a screen blinked to life, hidden behind the bookshelf against the far wall. "It's Judgement Day, my dear."

While it would be cool, as Jericho said, Amethyst has had in mind what she desires to do with the game since she began the game (or shortly after.)

{Conclave Group Fl.2} Carissa collapsed onto the floor and began breathing hysterically. With each large breath, blood began seeping from her neck wound at a faster rate. The air filled up her lungs slowly, and her breathes eventually became slower. Her vision was coming back to her, but she didn't dare open her eyes. She was terrified. Lila slithered over to her friend, a small tear falling from her ruby eyes. She released a moan, clearly upset by the injury Lealia had inflicted on her friend. She coiled herself around Carissa again, making a vow inside her head to never let her get hurt again. Lila released another moan, begging for someone to help her. The blood was still flowing from the wound, and Carissa's shirt was slowly turning scarlet. Lealia was trying her best to keep up with Jory, occasionally blocking the onslaught of flurrying fists aimed at her face. She held her arm a little too far and she gasped when she heard a snap followed by an intense rush of pain from her forearm. A tear slipped out of her eye as the punches continued on. She remained helpless in the situation and eventually became unconscious due to the incredible amount of pain. Her face was mangled, covered in bruises that certainly would take a while to recover. If Jory paid her enough attention, he would be able to see the key card slipping through the top of her shirt, ripe for the taking.

Ah shit, is that Nauti?

But she inquired about rockets in her teammates' pockets in the new voiceover as well.

Wasn't always that easy... *shivers*

She and others in the community make the shiny sprites, not the original ones. Sorry, but I don't know who made those.

OK guys, we've got a new skin for Annie and a mysterious splash art that has unconfirmed connections. Also, we've got Tristana's Voice Over. Sweetheart Annie (750 RP) Nidalee_Splash_7 (Not Warring Kingdoms Nidalee, to me looks like Sivir with Galactic Azir in the background, leading me to think it's Galactic Sivir.)

Updated the original post with more pictures of the Katarina, Nidalee, and Vel'koz skins. Regarding DFG From Scarizard: "Confirmed. As of 5.2, Deathfire Grasp will be removed. We're working on a context post that should be out soon to explain!" Important note: DFG's removal won't be the only change - a number of champions will receive changes/updates to compensate. I've posted this tons in replies, so let me be clear - of the champions being compensated for DFG's removal, Ahri and Veigar are at the top."]

JINX SKIN HYPE HYPE HYPE Firecracker Jinx (1350 RP) Warring Kingdoms Katarina (975 RP) Warring Kingdoms Nidalee (975 RP) Arbiter Vel'koz (1350 RP) Also, Tristana got her update! Check this for more details: http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/01/champion-update-tristana.html

I sent a message to Grassnake. Hopefully she'll reply soon or make a post in the IC.
