Ahri is fun as hell. I LOVE skill shot based champs. And I'm also a big Leblanc fan, so this is a win/win for me.

Join the League of Legends Snowdown Showdown!
[Update: Logins are reenabled now, and all the content is in the store for purchase] This past Tuesday saw the release of a new patch for League of Legends. It had the usual contents, another character, some new skins, and gameplay changes. Over a day later, players wait in anticipation not just for the game's newest champion to pop up on the store, but also for the winter celebration event -- the "Snowdown Showdown." Like all limited-time holiday events, there is a new reskin of the Summoner's Rift map, adding snow and other holiday related items to the scenery. In addition to this are themed skins for four characters. First, there's the abominable "Snowmerdinger," followed by "Toy Soldier Gangplank." Then there's the extremely cute "Mistletoe LeBlanc" hanging out by the "Festive Maokai" tree. There are also a number of holiday runes as well, offering the same bonuses as current runes, but with a neat name and look. Players will be able to check out these items in the shop once the servers go back online and logins are reenabled tonight. You can view the promotional graphic with previews of all this neat stuff on the promo page for the update. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Picked up Mistletoe Leblanc and Ahri along with both of her skins.
Still bummed the community's idea for Grinch Trundle didn't make it as a skin... Ahri is fun as hell. I LOVE skill shot based champs. And I'm also a big Leblanc fan, so this is a win/win for me. @CharlieTime: Lore-wise, since Ahri is an animal that wanted to be human, isn't she technically the Anti-Furry? 8:00 PM on 06.17.2013 Dota 2 will be 'released' this summerIt's a bit weird when games that are so widely played and enjoyed shed their beta tag and are "released." I mean, I've dumped almost 400 hours into Dota 2, and it's technically not "out" yet. Anywho, Valve has finally confirm...
