Please make yuumi Dead for 1 month will be good idea
She is already dead unless a support will decide to grief the shit out of your match.
Who the hell complains about Yuumi in 2024?
@@SirDubbs Those who remember her but yeah, champ is pretty much gone. For now it is a meme.
@@draugr121 Yea. I assume the only people still complaining about her are hard-stuck Irons and Bronzes 😂. Yuumi is basically free LP in Diamond to GM
@@SirDubbsif games get to late game she can make a carry quite difficult to kill.
She's just a terribly designed champion and needs to be removed overall.
They changed the lore so many times I can never tell if people are referring to the old lore or the old old lore.
Explain it please what is old old lore?
I gave up on following lore, now they have Arcane which is something pulled completely out of their ass.
The amount of times I've referred to a champion's lore just to find out it isn't considered their lore any more is incredible
@@mrcat3532I'm assuming this is what he means by old old lore:
The ministry of war are a highly advanced magical organization who can contact "summoners", powerful beings from outside of runeterra. They decide to host a tournament (I think), the league of legends where denizens of runeterra may offer control of their body to a summoner, with the grand prize being any one wish. Now, while many characters are simply recruited to do this in their free time, some like Cho Gath are imprisoned against their will by the ministry for the good of the world. This along with the fact that the ministry can revive those who die on summoners rift, means that every league game you play is canon to the lore.
Some fun things about this:
Every champion had lore that explained why they came, some even explicitly stating their wishes
Jax was considered too powerful and given a lamp post as a handicap (retconned to be the magical wizard lamp of blah blah blah)
Some champions did and still do talk to their summoner, like veigar and brand "You can't contain me summoner!"
And now the bad thing:
How do you write massive conflict in a world where there is a peace-loving, magical, super organization that can easily trap Cho Gath the WORLD EATER and force him to fight to the death for their amusement before reviving him so he can do it again? You can't. I believe there were a few good stories like shyv and j4 going to slay shyvs father, but there was a ceiling to how much of an effect on the world a story could have, otherwise Jesus h wizard Christ would show up and delete the problem or turn it into a plaything.
So all in all, a good retcon though it does ruin a few things that were written around the old world specifically Jax and his stupid wizard lantern that I hate
I know I first played in like 2012 and took a few years off in the middle.
Seeing lore changes got so confusing no champion did x not y
By far the best rework event. God I miss those days
Gotta thank Tencent for 10000 season passes a year, no new fun gamemodes and 500$ skins.

He did. It was just that his delivery of citrus was delayed for a week due to Miss Fortune's meddling.
I thought it was a great event, people can learn to live without 1 champion for 1 week.
No we cannot. You also don’t have the right to say that. If it were a character you loved you wouldn’t accept it
Yeah, definitely the best - and it was an amazing setup and story, disabling GP made it so immersive.
Tell me you're bronze without telling me you're bronze
@@AR15andGOD Yes we can. It's a fictional videogame character. Look for other things to worry about in your life
@@AR15andGOD bro grieving the lost of gangplank
I remember this, it was so fun, from the lore on the League website which was written so good, and Gangplank "dying" in the lore which caused him to be disabled... Good times man.
Gangplank didn't just storm the workshop of Sarah Fortune's parents. He commissioned Sarah's parents to make new pistols for him, then came by and demanded they give the pistols to him for free since it would be an honor for him to wield them. They refused, he warned them that was going to have consequences, and he walked out without the guns. At the time, Gangplank was something of a defacto ruler of Bilgewater and respected as a pirate to whom you only willingly did business with if you either wanted to pay tribute, or you could stop him taking what he wanted, so this behavior wasn't unexpected. Perhaps some would say that accepting the contract to make the pistols was naïve.
In any case, Gangplank came back later after giving the parents some time to reconsider, which is a fairly standard affair in those sorts of shakedowns (leaving the victim to get nervous, or for their family/friends to plead with them to just pay so they'll be safe). When they hadn't submit to his attempt to claim the guns, he killed them, and as more of a token gesture he shot their daughter, too.
Sarah Fortune knew where the guns he commissioned were hidden, so she claimed them for herself and swore to kill Gangplank with them.
To further complicate the story, her parents were utterly idiotic in this situation, and I don't mean because they accepted the commission. The Fortunes had the potential to just give him the guns and brag that Gangplank used their weapons (something Gangplank was offering to them as 'payment' so he wouldn't mind). It is historically considered a far higher payment for somebody of his station to allow you to market your goods as being the ones they use than to receive a normal trade of currency, with the public response even going so far as to have made entire markets out of certain flowers or vegetables that spanned continents. Blacksmiths in the past would happily forge weapons for rulers at no cost and offer them to the rulers at the off-chance they'd wear them for one campaign, and usually not even have them wielded. Just having the weapon accepted was a privilege.
You have to understand that with how this actually works in the real world, to have somebody of his status actually walk around with your weapons would have set Sarah's parents up for a life of wealth and prestige. Unfortunately, her parents were stupid.

I mean it's still considered normal, famous music companies send musicians free gear in the HOPES that they will use it and be seen doing so, and that's not even a sponsorship where in exchange for payment they HAVE to use it (and be seen doing so), no it's literally just free gear showing up at their doorstep, they could literally take it to the pawnshop if they feel like it. Similar deal for professional gamers, athletes, and other celebrities. Only difference for GP is he literally murders you if you don't agree for him to be a 'sponsor' for your pistols instead of taking you to court.
7:00 That also means that they went out of their way to make a free skin compatible with two iterations of the champions in VFX and SFX, knowing full well that the older kit's skin version would only be out for 1 week. They truly were a different bunch from the guys that charge $500 for a single skin
The people complaining about being unable to play Gangplank for less than two weeks are illiterate. League is a game with very few good opportunities for interesting narrative design, as Riot is entirely uninterested in telling this game's story. The Bilgewater event was interesting because it dared to break the mold and try something new, and the people complaining about it are missing the entire point and should not have their side of the discussion acknowledged.
As Someone who casually played this BACK WHEN THIS HAPPEN, Its was a extremely interesting and really fun concept for Riot to do, Just the Concept of "This Champ is now Gone because the Lore killed him." Was insane and ive always been hyped for something to this scale to happen again (just not completely disabling them, like Oh Rework is happeneing because this champ just died in lore or a new champ was introduced and changed this champ) But Riots creativity and limit testing of their idea's truely will never be this level again.
Rito should, as a fun little detail, remove Yasuo, Yummi and Zed from game.
It's a little sad to see Riot peaked with their story telling and interaction with their world so long ago.
As much of the controversy there was in League around the same time in Season 5 (The juggernaut rework and Gangplank rework coming out right before worlds with basically all of them being overpowered with no time to adjust) Bilgewater was the coolest event.
But I wonder, is League just too big now to do anything on that scale ever again? They've got so much to do now with the battle pass thing, the long champion designing process, pro play etc etc.
What are you talking about, they did the Ruination event! Oh...wait...
Depends whether you mean in-game or not. Because in-game? Probably very limited in regards to actual main universe lore.
Out of game is still fine, even ruination was pretty good outside of the game. Book was very good.
I honestly love when games have the guts to make event changes like the (temporary) removal of champs for the added engagement, it's a very strong stance but one that gets me more into a game's events, the ongoing development and fleshing-out of a given world.
I think Arrowhead's Helldivers 2 is the most recent example that comes to mind, and despite the matters of retention and the longer timescale of the Galactic War they face I think it's a great example of how great live service games can be, when you have less of a conflict of interests and an organization willing to take the risks necessary for those interesting event choices
As someone who started playing less than a year ago, I appreciate videos going over the games previous states
I remember that event. They made a rework of the skin, they asked players a question and then Gangplank was dead. Then, days later... Boom! He revived and we got that last skin as free, with a new one as his default. Absolutely genius.
Your videos are really cool! I'm so glad I found your channel, keep up the good work!
I enjoyed this video bro nice work
I was new to league when bilgewater event came and I had a blast playing black market brawlers even I had no clue what I was doing! I fell in love with gp announcer. I hope to see more similar events
There is a reason the bilge water event in 2015 was the greatest of all time, to this day no event came close
I'll be straight up honest with yall, I would not be playing League right now if it weren't for that event. I was brand new to League, and that event dropped. I neither watched nor cared about competitive at that time, but yes if I had I would've thought that decision was moronic and ridiculous, but the event itself was so cool that it's the main reason I'm playing League right now, and the game mode itself was a really fun twist on the core game.
I still to this day wish they added typhoon claws to the main game
It's the best event and overall best thing Riot has ever done and it isn't close. While I miss being able to play GP in every role and be viable (okay, you can still technically do that, it's just not as good as Old GP), the lore and rework is truly awesome. He was one of, if not THE, first champ with a minigame attached to his kit (barrels) and I still think his is done the best.
god i miss that event it have been 9 years......
as a casual who constantly takes years of breaks from the game i think competitve play should be its own beast and people should be able to train on whatever is going to be in the game long term. that said i think disabling a character is pretty impactful for an event but even as a casual i would hate to log in to the game and find my own champ just gone. people dodge ques for less so i dont think its a great idea to try and force the issue like that
I remember the Bilgwater event, I never played too much LoL but that was a damn good time :D
I think they should do this every time they rework a champion. Make an event abt their lore, do something similar giving a lore reason for the rework, then delete the champion in game for a week but ONLY for quick play and norm draft and aram, not competitive or ranked
to gang and plank the way plankgang gangplanks is epic thank u for lore!!
Tf😂☠️
8.50 Oh no.
i HAVE PTSD FROM RUNEBLADE
Who is rafen noted at 4 mins 9 sec on the staring part of the act 2
I never heared of the Game mode but i loved everything else about the event
If they would have just kept him disabled for ESports reasons till everybody got the chance to understand the new GP, it would have ben fine. The lore + Event was epic shit and i would like more like that,.. maybe not sooo overpowered thou.
some months after my pc went kaputt i sold my account to a friend. nowadays i regret that, since im playing again and lost all those icons and skins from events, especially the bilgewater event.
I still have the skin, it was a good event. But I still miss Gp one shot build
Wait, a messed up leg and he told the doctor to just cut it off? Did they take the old swain lore where he was also said to not even flinch/respond to them removing it either(without any painkillers).
weren't garen and lux disabled for a while during jhin's release?
I mean they killed Swain with the rework. However they are trying to revive him now with the new midscope
I still feel like they deleted the old swain as well, there’s pretty much nothing left of the old dot mage🙃, my favourite champion of all time, rest in peace my friend.
I mean yes the old ultimate was a bit op and maybe the playstyle wasn’t the healthiest for the game, but it was the most fun champ they ever created, pls bring him back😔
"pro" scene has been the death of so many good games of late. What's more ridiculous, is "pro players" complaining about a new character partaking in a tournament, instead of adapting and delivering on bringing actual entertainment for once. Of course Riot bowed to the demands of the few instead of the community positive reaction. It's all so tiresome...
Whenever they rework a champion a bunch, they should so some kind of lore drop, so it wouldnt just feel like a buff or nerf
As the old man that I am now, I remember this fondly.
havent played when GP lore was but i miss the old Aatrox i loved playing him ap :c
I *played* that Bilgewater event, and I love being reminded that fucking FIZZ wasn't included, but thank goodness we got a sneak peak of "Rafen." >_>
It was so much better back then.
Remember this event. GP being dead and disabled for a week except for one server.
Can't remember which server, but GP was still kept on so players can still play him during the event.
They did something a little different that still honored the event and instead disabled all skins even the default skin except for the dead ghost skin that he had.
evelynn, galio trundle as well
I was a gang plank main at time of rework, I actually didn't care for the new kit as much even though it's objectively better it just didn't suit me. It was a cool time though, and the burning tides community collab still exists on UA-cam from the event, back when rito did alot of community stuff.
They also killed Viego in Wild Rift a couple weeks ago
Rework to unrecognisable… Poppy…
OG GP with Crit Runes
I still talk about bilgewater aram because it had bans and I wish they gave regular aram bans
Ngl theres something kinda funny and cute how riot kept the he's dead bit
Player: "Why is gangplank disabled can I play him later?"
Riot: "H-he's gone... *starts crying*"
When Riot was actually good..
What about Urf the manatee?
Best part of this video.. The 2 1 2 laning with no jungle. Oh classic league..
The fact that there's no way to bring the GP announcer back makes me cry everyday
you can actually if u type /tot.gpannouncerpack.vl in chat.
The $500 skin got me 😂😂😂😂
I loved the bilgewater event
2015 july 29th huh 💀💀
We need to start purging champions🗣️🗣️🗣️
holy shit whoever name the gankplank: Du Học Chơi Game
This guy forgetting about the Jhin pre-release where they 'killed' Garen, Ryze, Sona and a fourth champ I can't remember off the top of my head.
They weren't deactivated/there was no impact on the game itself
@@myth-leagueoflegends They were deactivated, you couldn't pick them for close to a week maybe longer.
@@OnlyGettyi'm pretty sure that's not true but i could je mistaken
skill issue for wickd btw - sincerely, from a bronze player
It was a really cool idea that kinda sucks for a minority of people. I wasn't affected as I wasn't a big GP player back then, but if you were a gp otp you were not playing ranked for that time. Lol
back when events were actually cool and fun and they actually tried beyond just to make money
People really do forget that Jhin killed 4 champions as well...
your accent is familar are you from NL by chance?
2024 Jul 3
There's no reason for tencent to put any effort into the game when it already prints money like crazy.
Why would they put any effort ? They're literally not the ones making the game.
Most of there champs are taken from other games
I missed this event cause I took a break from League to play Heroes of the Storm, and then uninstalled League after they deleted Solo queue later that year.
Dota 2 players Denying and the character's using voiclines to physiologicaly tilt people.
It wasn't as bad of a decision, they just shouldve swapped to the version people had seen
bro forgot about Urgot
Nah they killed Pantheon lorewise and they kiled Mordekaiser allwise
why delete your jungle guides man?
Well, he's almost dead right now by the way.
He got buffed
But I ate OJs and it was k.
I miss when the people working on league gave a fuck about it
We've gone from this to TF and Graves being buttpirates in the past 9 years of lore changes. Thanks Tencent!
My teammate, first timing a champ in ranked: gets flamed
Wunderwear, first timeing Gangplank in EU Challenger series semi finals:
10:25 there is no such thing as "taking too many resources" for a company with infinite resources. They just want to go for the lazy way for bigger bottom lines which is cutting costs.
Yo I’m cooked wow 😂😂
Riot now: 500$ skin on character with a bunch of other skins and who will be probably banned for this
Riot before: yes, we killed champion and then revived him giving players new skin for free, any questions?
Did you forget how they used to keep old look for the champion as a traditional skin for free if you owned them before rework.
It was just unnecessary
sub like and commented :) great video
gud
Oh yeah, graves and tf are not enemies anymore, they are gay, new lore 🤪🤪🤪
whenever someone complains your champ is unbalanced and you respond with "first time" you're just further proving the complainers point.
Lol has the most stupid lore of all times, why they even try?
they killed their whole game by introducing mandatory chinese spyware installation smh
bros midwest accent is annoying
