Nika: Rated "T" for Teen.
Nika: Summoners, I'm Nika, but... what’s in a name?
A League by any other name may smell as sweet... but as we know, picking a summoner name is quite an ordeal.
It’s how we define ourselves, it’s what people DIE to...
that’s why in this edition of AllChat, these summoners are here to tell us exactly why they picked their names.
Murkblood: When you're edgy, you either have "XX" in your name somewhere or "Blood",
and so I came up with "Murkblood".
My first girlfriend called me "Stu", which I changed for obvious reasons, to "Stuie",
which is not a unique name, so I had to add some nerd.
"Gui Stuie" (short for graphical user interface)
Umoplsdn95: At first it looks like seemingly random- just a bunch of letters and some numbers.
But if you turn this upside down and you read it again, it actually says "upside down".
Suburban Bear: My summoner name is "Suburban Bear", because I am THE SUBURBAN BEAR.
What is one 5 letter name that nobody else would think of, but would still make sense?
So I chose "Ficrab".
Ficrab: I think it sounds kind of mystical, but... really, it's just a magical crab...
Never Lick Tazer: ...because it's a bad idea to EVER. LICK. A TAZER.
Trust me on this one.
Nika: Now in the next edition of AllChat,
bring out those webcams to tell us your summoner name and make a short video about your proudest League moment.
Then add it as a reply video down below and you’ll be well on your way to being in an upcoming showcase!
I know there are a lot of memories to sift through, so can I interest you in some fantastic art in the meantime?
We’ve been noticing an incredible amount of sculpture coming to the show, so now, more than ever...
let’s have a special episode: A Summoner Sculptcase!
We’re gonna start it off strong!
Runeowl created this startling Baron bust and placed it in the middle of a grassy plot of land,
just where you’d expect his handsome, many-eyed face to be.
If you’re Baron, it must be pretty hard to make friends... though not as difficult as Amumu, perhaps.
While most sculptures usually center in on the cute side of our mummy, Cuquito’s statue focuses on the more serious aspects of him.
Will he ever find love as good as his paint job? It’s a high bar to set.
Bar? Bar? Did someone say bar?
Sorry, I just heard that Gangster Twitch was making plans to go out and I just wanted to avoid-
NOPE. Nope. There he is.
This guy owns the joint, and he can prove it with J Troublez’s gold statue.
"A Twitch in every dive bar" is this fella’s motto, and three in every casino.
Twitch isn’t the only champion that can be cast in gold...
but Orianna would probably opt for a much stronger metal for her outfit.
Using a model to structure this clockwork girl, Moonstonerarity is quite the sculptress,
and has carved every detail into Orianna’s metal chassis.
Normally, our robots are more the killing machine type.
You got Mecha Kha'Zix, Mecha Cho'Gath... actually just mecha anything is mega-fierce!
Do steam golems qualify?
Okay, so shrink this little guy down and Blitzcrank is just a cute little fella, isn’t he?
Those mismatched eyes and bronzed tummy, and he can still turn you into the name of the summoner who created him : Kerschplat.
That's right. His name's Kerschplat.
If you’re afraid of spiders, look away now.
No, it isn’t real, but it’s in physical form and that adds a bonus modifier to fear effects, past what you’d normally see in game.
Avert your eyes!
Kobalto03 really gives this Elise sculpture all he’s got, which is enough to have us shaking in our Boots of Speed.
Do you just ever wake up and have that thing in the corner of the room and just- AAAH!
Freak out?!
Or, if you’re anything like me in a game,
"What is that green- OH GOD NOT AGAIN!”
For this little Thresh, what can I say, reel me in any day little guy!
He’s so devastatingly cute that I don’t care if he eats my soul, and that’s REALLY a compliment to Skychild’s skills.
Soul-worthy.
"Ooooh what a pretty lantern- OH JEEZ!"
That wraps up this week, and I hope that sculpture pulled ya in like a hook to the face!
Next time, we’ll have even more awesome art, so long as you guys keep submitting it. We’re counting on you.
Until next time, really, be careful with those lanterns.
"Hiss!"
And we'll see you next episode!
