Sue for video
Police officers sue to erase videos of their raid of Sky High Collective. Lawyer for Sky High:
It’s pretty pathetic for police to say if we don’t like something that it can’t be used as evidence.

The video was taken without the officers’ knowledge and was handled by Pappas, among others, prior to being made public.

Corki release
The Daring Bombardier is released in patch version 0.9.25.21. His abilities include Phosphorus Bomb, Valkyrie, Gatling Gun, and Missile Barrage, which fires a missile at location, dealing damage. Designer:
Corki is the most renowned of the Screaming Yipsnakes for remaining cool under fire and exhibiting bravery to the point of madness. Before the League, he served several tours of duty, often volunteering for missions that would take him behind enemy lines, either gathering intelligence or delivering messages through hot zones. He thrived on danger, and enjoyed nothing more than a good dogfight in the morning.
Kennen release
The Heart of the Tempest is released in the patch version 1.0.0.82 along with the Swamp Master and Deadly Kennen skins. Abilities include Mark of the Storm, Thundering Shuriken, Electrical Surge, Lightning Rush ans Slicing Maelstrom, which summons an electrical storm that casts down lightning bolts multiple times a second. Designer:
While we’ve all seen what Shen can do out there on the battlefield, it bears mentioning that Ninjas come in all shapes and sizes. Allow me to introduce you all to Kennen, the Heart of the Tempest. Unlike Shen, Kennen originally hails from Bandle City, home of the yordles, and this fleet-footed, pint-sized ninja terror is every bit as lethal as his compatriot. Let it never be said that the Kinkou Order is closed minded with regard to their choice of students!
But what’s the flip side to having two equally lethal ninja champions? Well, it’s a well known fact that ninjas work alone! That’s right, ninjas have a tendency to step on each other’s toes, yordle or otherwise. So while you might be tempted to deploy as many flippin’ ninjas as you can get your hands on, use caution!
Olaf release
The Berserker is released along with the Forsaken and Glacial Olaf skins. His abilities include Undertow, Vicious Strikes, Reckless Swing, and Ragnarok, which makes him immune to disables and gives increased armor penetration and reduces incoming damage. Designer:
As you may have observed throughout your time in Runeterra, the League of Legends Design Team seeks to promote synergy whenever possible (like a boss). Between champions with guns, champions with cultural ties, and champions under five feet tall, there are a ton of ways that our champions synergize with one another. We felt that the champion, Sion, however, didn’t have enough kindred spirits at his disposal. This is an important issue! We’re talking about ensuring that an important subculture in the League of Legends gets equal representation! That subculture is, of course: vicious, axe-wielding maniacs.
To bolster the ranks of this often under appreciated demographic, we’re pleased to be able to introduce Olaf, the Berserker. And just to make sure he fits the bill exactly, this guy actually has a pair of axes. So strap on the nearest helmet, sharpen your great sword, and raise an ice cold flagon of mead in honor of Olaf, the latest champion to grace the Field of Justice.
Lux release
The Lady of Luminosity is released in patch version 1.0.0.103 along with the Spellthief and Sorceress Lux skins. Her abilities include Light Binding, Prismatic Barrier, Lucent Singularity, and Finales Funkeln, which damages all enemy units in front of her. Designer:

Allow me to introduce Lux, the Lady of Luminosity. Representing the City-state of Demacia, Lux is not only the latest champion to grace the Field of Justice, but also the sister of everyone’s favorite Might of Demacia, Garen. Whether you’re a strong believer in sibling rivalry or just want to keep it in the family, Lux should make the perfect addition to your champion collection.

Sue over cabin air
Four Alaska Airlines flight attendants sue Boeing claiming that the air ventilation systems are sometimes toxic. They claim that the “bleed air” design of the aircraft can expose the cabin air to toxic fumes from the engine, which are used to cycle the air. Their attorney:
We know Boeing has known about this problem since the 1950’s. This was the primary problem that they had to address with this ‘bleed air’ design. And it’s the problem they’ve fixed now with its newest design the 787.

In addition to being extremely attractive, the Deceiver comes primed to fuel your most megalomaniacal of desires. If you’ve got a bit of mischievous thread to your personality, you’re definitely going to want to make sure to pick up LeBlanc in the upcoming patch. Would I lie?
Nearly detained in Thailand
Wilson tells Kimmel that he is nearly detained in Thailand while on his way back to the U.S. from filming an action thriller No Escape.
The day that I was leaving, somebody asked for a picture and gave me something to put around my neck… I guess this thing that I put on identified me with the rebels – I’m not kidding. All of a sudden, they (authorities) were calling the prime minister’s office saying that I was going to be detained from leaving (sic) because these colors and that whistle meant that I was siding with the protesters.
Kog’Maw release
The Mouth of the Abyss is released in patch version 1.0.0.94 along with the Catepillar and Sonoran Kog’Maw skins. His abilites include Icathian Surprise, Bio-arcane Barrage, Void Ooze, Caustic Spittle, and Living Artillery, which he can fire at a great distance to do damage and to reveal targets. Designer:

Meet Kog’Maw, Mouth of the Abyss. Now many of you have been asking for more monsters in the League of Legends lineup, so if you had any doubts about whether or not we’re taking your suggestions to heart, this gentleman… err… gentlemouth should assuage those concerns.
Opposes legalized marijuana
Osbourne opposes legal marijuana, having seen her husband and children battle drug addictions. She believes it will end in disaster for society in the long term:
I have big resentments that this is happening (sic). Anything that alters your mental state I don’t think should be allowed. … You can say prescribed medication can alter your mental state but I don’t agree with it all. The next thing I am waiting for is when someone is working heavy machinery, when they are driving a car. It is all going to end in tears.
Irelia released
The Will of the Blades is released in the patch version 1.0.0.105 along with the Nightblade and Aviator Irelia skins. Her abilities include Bladesurge, Hiten Style, Equilibrium Strike, and Transcendent Blades, which she can use to fling spirit blades at enemies. Designer:
If you picked up a copy of the November issue of PC Gamer, then you’ve already had your first look at the League’s latest champion. If you missed that issue, then it’s my great honor to officially introduce Irelia, the Will of the Blades. In addition to being the latest in our long line of pretty ladies to join the League of Legends, Irelia serves as the captain of the Ionian Guard — which only goes to show that there’s no glass ceiling when you have a telekinetic command over swords. So watch yourself! Irelia brings new meaning to the old proverb: Walk softly, but carry a big sword. Hey, wait… did I get that right?
Gragas release
The Rabble Rouser is released in patch version 1.0.0.72. Designer:
The Rabble Rouser leaves a path of drunken destruction in his wake, both in the Fields of Justice and off.
Draven release
The Glorious Executioner is released in patch version 1.0.0.140b along with the Soul Reaver Draven skin. Designer:
This champion of the arena knows the value of enjoying what you do – even if your line of work happens to involve grisly executions!

Kassadin release
The Void Walker is released in patch version 0.9.22.7. His abilities include Void Stone, Null Sphere, Nether Blade, Force Pulse, and Riftwalk, which he can use to teleport a small distance and deal damage. Designer:
Within a decaying cyclopean city, Kassadin found secrets of the kind that he will never share – secrets that made him quake with fear at the visions of things to come that were thrust upon him. The power of the place threatened to consume him forever, but Kassadin took the only route available to him in order to survive – he let the Void inside him. Miraculously, he was able to overcome the alien urges that went with it, and he emerged as something more than human. Though a part of him died that day, he knows that he must protect Valoran from the things scratching at the door, waiting to get in and visit their torments upon the world. They are only one step away… something to which the appearance of the abomination known as Cho’Gath attests.
Azir release
The Emperor of the Sands is released in patch version 4.16 along with the Galactic Azir skin. Designer:
Arise! creates a sand soldier at a target location, from which the soldier projects threat in a circle–so far, so Heimerdinger. However, soldiers require an active input. Azir must right-click and go through a basic attack animation for soldiers to do anything. This makes both Azir and his enemy understand that a conscious command was given to the soldier. This also means that if Azir is stunned or running away, soldiers cease to be a threat. All of a sudden, Azir’s opponent can comfortably aggress.
Conquering Sands orders all soldiers to charge toward a target location, damaging and slowing enemies they pass through. This forces Azir to think carefully about when and where to send soldiers. Can Azir afford to use the spell for damage and slow or (Counterplay incoming!) will this allow the enemy to engage on Azir while his soldiers are temporarily unable to move?
