I want Shaco to be free.

Maybe then, Riot will look at his bugs and all the complaints. ;o

DCDT Dito 08-22-2011 05:42 PM

Hakiro 08-22-2011 05:43 PM

lee sin needs another free week

Buhnanaa 08-22-2011 05:44 PM

Why is Irelia never free!? D:

Seeker0fTruth 08-22-2011 05:45 PM

Thanks for the Gragas free week riot! Now I just have to figure out how to build him . . .

Adrian Umbra 08-22-2011 05:53 PM

YES! Nidalee and Gragas free week! It's like Christmas come early!

And yeah, Shaco needs to be free.

Apoptosine 08-22-2011 06:35 PM

Do you slot in champions you want to get data on? Like say, you wantto know how the community is using X champion, or How Champion X is faring in it's overall performance?

blumoon912 08-22-2011 06:45 PM

no teemo

MegaMime 08-22-2011 06:57 PM

seriously i get that your trying to get new players to enjoy some easy champs but do ashe and sivir have to be free to play every other week i like them and all but new players can buy them right after the tutorial

Ello Motto 08-22-2011 07:08 PM

Can you put Akali, Jarvan IV, and Le Blanc into the next rotation please? I've been wanting to try those 3 out in, like, forever. IP is hard to get nowadays with all the smerfs runnin' around.

Aaaaactually. Talon isn't out yet.

Ello Motto 08-22-2011 07:13 PM

Karthus wasn't even out last month. Or this month.

ActuallyMellow 08-22-2011 07:50 PM

You could probably get level 30 get 2 full rune pages get 1400 in ranked and buy twitch before he's free.

GodOfDeath 08-22-2011 08:17 PM

how is it preview them all equally when you keep using the 450 ones and also stupid zilean

elBOOBOO 08-22-2011 08:19 PM

why do u keep making zilean free he is not even easy to play

i get why yi/ashe/ryze are always free but zilean is one of the most hard champs to play u make him free then we get those zilean who only ult them self

PotątŲxiFeR 08-22-2011 08:24 PM

Wish is twitch and sona will be free atleast once. They havnt been our for a very loooooooooong time.

Incub0 08-22-2011 08:38 PM

he might be, but i wouldn't surprised to see kennen, olaf, karthus, nunu, heimdinger, evelynn, twisted fate, janna, fiddlesticks and nidalee in the upcomming patch, i haven't seen almost all of 'em for a while in the random selection

but you can probably swap TF for skarner and get your hopes up

i Like our champion rotation. i can quite simply say this weekly rotation is one of the most enjoyable things about this game. I can play up to level thirty and buy the champions i want to play, and also try new ones that pop up every week around the same expected time. even though riot might not give themselves credit for it (or players), they do have the champions out on monday or tuesday, rarely sunday or wednesday, and they are as they say, simple champions, to the new champions you want to play. if anyone really has a complaint to their rotation not including certain champions, then you might want to count all of the champions, 81 and increasing, and a new champion about every two weeks. Riot is working hard for us and i hope they keep it up.

Now that i said that my other request is, could riot by chance include one or prehaps two more champions in the rotation? so it has 11 or 12 free champions to compensate the increasing supply of them? It's getting to the point where it would take two months for all champions to go through the rotation once, and with some champions being used more often that makes it close to three and a half months. Increasing the amount of free champions would atleast give more options for games. (might make choosing which champions to put up for each week alittle easier too, with public demand.)

Also on the topic of releasing new champions and making them free. people have stated that it would improve balancing but that's not intirely true, those people that bought them for the first week get to play them more often hince more info on them. if multiple people try to grab a free new champion no info can be clearly given since all will be going off of champion spotlight leaving no room for experienced play for balancing.

BudgieKeet 08-22-2011 10:51 PM

Aww i wanted pantheon as a free champ this week!
Time to play skarner!

I'm thinking rotate schedule should start Thursday night/Friday morning. That way the new rotation starts on the high traffic time , at least I'd think, of Friday - Sunday. That way you get the champ feedback fresh for the next work week. Also, since patch/content drops can be Tuesday or Wednesday and you can use that for marketing purposes: " Purchase the new champ with IP or RP and access them before they're rotated in!". Theres my 2 cents :p

I agree with that. I also like to play a character before buying it so I know if I'm gonna like playing it or not so I don't just waste my money on a champion I'm not gonna play very much.

kazo84 08-23-2011 12:44 AM

im so unlucky because when i buy a champion, next day he is free, at week 55 season one, all of the champions that where free where owned by me, and i think you put shen free A-lot, and zilean too, the problem now is when a new champion comes into the league, i always have hard luck, like last time i needed 1 RP to buy iriela, i had no other way, so i bought garen,and still i always have hard luck,like now, i just bought urgot, hes free next time, same as nidalee, just bought her, now shes free, i meant at this paragraph that please change the random characters of the week,i have one big question,how do you choose them, i did not understand it...


thanks,

Toxinius 08-23-2011 01:50 AM

guys could next weeks rotation include karthus...? coz i wanted to try him for ages and just never seen him in rotation......

bigultramovies 08-23-2011 01:52 AM

Sustainer 08-23-2011 03:04 AM

Idea
 
How about you put free champs like this.
There are 10 free champions, 1 of them is newly made.

If you put 3, 6300 champs, 2 4800 champs, 2 3150, 1 1350 champ, 1 450 champ and the last 1 would be the new one, just like this weeks Skarner.

That would be cool huh?

The Pengo 08-23-2011 04:21 AM

When is Xin going to be free for a week i haven't seen him EVER free >.<

ISlapGyalBatis 08-23-2011 07:30 AM

Xin and Shaco, never seen these champs free in a very long time.

Annie, zil,yi, these champs are always free, we need a bit of different variety :)

not exactly possible even as joke because there are only 7 yordles in the game

TheFuggernaut 08-23-2011 07:40 AM

Remember 2-3 weeks ago when we had all the same champions for free? Because the only new ones are Gragas and Skarner for the past month.

eerriiccram 08-23-2011 07:41 AM

DaFknPwner 08-23-2011 07:43 AM

Shaco had never been free but xin yes... if you played 1 month ago
