Welcome back to Runeterra News at Nine.

At approximately 3 PM Runeterra Central Time this afternoon a rabid mongoose was let into the storage shed Riot keeps their single server in by an employee known only as "hohums". When approached as to why he let the animal into the facility, "hohums" reply was "It looked cute and lonely and I wanted to give it a hug". The mongoose proceeded to chew on various wires and urinate on the server until the service was rendered unavailable, causing mass disconnects for a large portion of the playerbase. When asked if, in retrospect, the decision to let the rabid mongoose in had been a mistake, "hohums" responded "Could you repeat that? I was distracted by how delicious these tacos are".

That mongoose took my honorable win away...

I was so excited to be in a game with Slygoat... I even got first blood on him, but now I have no proof.

Riot should allow crits to crit.

Yeah, I'm trying to dig myself out of my ELO bracket. As it happened, I grouped up with Daemonkel, who is a much higher ELO than I am. Usually, if I'm not Garen when I'm queued with him, I get stomped by the better players.

I'm pretty pathetic.
