Hey guys, been away for a while, posting on forums and whatnot, but now i hope to keep you updated once again on skins, champion and everything League of Legends!
Lets kick off with Xerath, the Magus Ascendant. Now, the EU have yet to recieve the patch (im expecting tonight) so i can't bring you much on him, except the Champion Spotlight.
He looks pretty damn cool, and scary.
Now to the new skins in this patch.
As usual, you have the 3 Xerath Skins, seeing as he is the new champion. You also have 4 Skins other than him for Caitlyn, Teemo, Brand and Irelia. They are as follows:
Original Xerath

League of Legends v1.0.0.126 Xerath, the Magus Ascendant
Ascended Form (Passive): Xerath feeds on arcane power, making him increasingly resilient to physical harm. He converts a percentage of his Ability Power into Armor.
Arcanopulse: Fires a long-range beam of energy, dealing magic damage to all targets hit.
Locus of Power: Xerath anchors himself to a source of magical power, increasing the range of all spells and granting him bonus % Magic Penetration. Although he is immobilized while Locus of Power is active, his movement speed increases upon disabling the ability.
Mage Chains: Deals magic damage to an enemy and marks them with Unstable Magic. The next spell Xerath strikes this enemy with stuns them.
Arcane Barrage: Calls down a blast of arcane energy, dealing magic damage to all enemies in an area. May be cast up to three times before going on cooldown.

The free Champions have been rotated, and this week they are:
Hey guys, just read an article about the new champion, Riven, and the one after her, Magus, who was recently announced. This got me onto the subject of new champions coming/in concept. So here's a fast list of what I've found.
Finally, I have a few Screenshots from the November 2011 Issue of PC GAMER magazine, with detailed pictures and descriptions of both Magus and Riven. Enjoy.
"It's never too late for redemption. This former Noxian soldier has forsaken her malevolent compatriots on a quest for self-discovery, wielding a shattered sword to remind her of the fractured world she left behind. Her high-mobility playstyle is reminiscent of arcade fighters, with the ability to combo skills in quick succession for maximum damage. When she gets her ultimate, people will die: her sword reforms to unlock its full power, sending massive energy waves crackling through the air with each slice."
"This caster champ, a being of pure energy, perfectly captures the feeling of uncontrollable power. He charges up energy with each spellcast, temporarily increasing the damage and cost of subsequent spells. Playing him will be a tricky balancing act between knowing when to open the floodgates and pour out your damage, and when you're better off taking the slow-and-steady route"
The main image of Magus as a white ghost with armor and chains is his "super-charged" form, while the bottom shield-like image is his "low-energy" form.
Hey guys, just found a new Champion Sneak Peak has been posted on the League of Legends Website. The Sneak Peak features Riven, The Exile, who looks at first glance to be a Melee fighter (Possibly a hybrid due to magical runes on her blade) belonging to Noxus (Or perhaps, once belonging to Noxus, being 'The Exile').
Looks interesting, i'll try to bring you a first impressions when she appears, and I will keep you updated regardless.
In other news, there have been some Champion Skin Sales appearing again, as well as Champions themselves being on sale. The Champions on sale until this Monday (5th September) are the following.
Hey guys, short post today as there isn't much to write about, just gonna inform you of the new Free Champion Rotation (Week 60). This Rotation includes the following Champions.
A nice selection of Champions this week, but there was a quick update. It seems there is some kind of bug with AoE Damage at the moment, and because of this, Karthus has been replaced with Kennen for now for this week, but they are hoping to get this problem fixed as soon as possible.
There is also a Skin Sale starting today and running until this Friday (September 2nd) for the Following Skins.
COTTONTAIL TEEMO - 487 RP down from 975 RP
BARBARIAN SION - 487 RP down from 975 RP
COMMANDO XIN ZHAO - 260 RP down from 520 RP
Finally, a new skin has arrived : Pentakill Karthus. He joins the band as Lead Singer. This skin will cost 975 RP, and in addition, the Statue of Karthus skin has been reduced from 975 RP to 520 RP Permanently.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I haven't really had much to blog about if i'm honest, but I may do a review or two in the near future.
