Hello everyone and welcome to another Riot news compilation post, where we give you a quick overview of the news content created by Riot in the past couple of days. The final, rather large edition of the month October is dedicated entirely to the conclusion of the 2015 World Championship. Don't worry, we won't spoil it for those of you who missed it, but if you want to see the result, you can check it out in the article at the bottom of the post (or by watching spoiler-free VODs courtesy of loleventvods here).
That's nowhere near everything on offer today, however: also found below are a fair number of posts which are related to previous World Championships and to League lore, as well as a video explaining input buffering and a new episode of /ALL Chat and more. That's all for now, make sure to leave your thoughts on these articles in the comments below!
Later this month, a new champion will hoist the Summoner's Cup. We asked previous World Champions to describe the feeling at the exact moment when they knew they'd won it all, continuing with Samsung White's imp.
During the Bilgewater: Burning Tides event, you may have noticed we took the opportunity to update the bios of key champs featured in the story: Twisted Fate, Graves, Miss Fortune and Gangplank. With feedback gathered and the format figured out, we are now looking to start working on new bios for all our existing champs. Here's a look at how we're taking on this massive challenge.
Gangplank is no more. But with the Pirate King gone, Bilgewater is tearing itself apart in bloody gang warfare. The cost of Miss Fortune's victory has been high, and she wreaks vengeance on every ally of her defeated enemy. As the Harrowing descends on Bilgewater, Olaf the Berserker brings a fresh kill to the Slaughter Docks and Lucian the Purifier comes seeking a wraith of the Shadow Isles.
There are some moments that you walk away from remembering forever. Throughout Worlds, we'll be re-visiting some of our favorite moments from past World Championships and discussing what made them so special.
As the Harrowing engulfs Bilgewater, Miss Fortune and her pirate band venture onto the city streets to fight the host of the unliving. Spirits of the dead sweep through the city's crooked streets in a shrieking host, hungry for the souls of the living. Olaf meets a foe worthy of granting him an epic death and Lucian feels the presence of one of the Shadow Isles most terrifying specters drawing ever closer...
The dead have their champions too, and the Shadow of War rides into Bilgewater with Thresh as Lucian, Olaf and Miss Fortune join forces to fight the monstrous specters of the Shadow Isles. But as the dead close in, there may be nowhere left to escape their wrath.
The doom of the Harrowing is upon Miss Fortune and her unlikely allies as Lucian faces his greatest nemesis. The host of the unliving is everywhere they turn, and the mortal heroes are forced to take shelter in the one place that stands as a beacon of life against the dead, the temple of the Bearded Lady. But even that may not be enough to stop the dead from taking their due and reaping their eternal souls.
Championship Kalista and the rest of the legacy esports skins won't be back until next year, so pick them up before they sail away on a flowing river of tears cried by those who ran out of time.
