Became an Ascended Meme when Riot made the debuff tooltip for the root say that it lasts for 3 years. Morgana Q lasting for Explanation The root from Morgana's Q Dark Binding is one of the longest single instances of crowd-control in the game, and it somehow feels even longer if you get tagged with it in a crucial moment, so players are keen to make jokes exaggerating the length of the root.200+ years Explanation In early 2020, champion designer RiotLutzburg made an infamous response to complaints about the seemingly aimless trajectory of the long-awaited Wukong rework, claiming that Riot had "200+ collective years of professional game design experience." Considering the perpetually unbalanced nature of the game, this instantly became mocked among fans, and this number is brought up whenever another balance fiasco occurs. ![]() A Discredited Meme by the time this example was added, as Riot announced a slew of new games during their 10th anniversary celebration in 2019, with the first new game, Legends of Runeterra, entering open beta in 2020. Explanation Fans noted that the company that creates LoL was called "Riot Games", but for ten years LoL remained their only actual game (not counting a couple of flash minigames, the board game Mechs vs Minions, or Teamfight Tactics which, while a totally different game from LoL, was made from LoL assets and ran within the LoL client, causing players to treat it as an alternate game mode rather than a separate game). Players using these characters tend to be pigeonholed as having a Leeroy Jenkins mentality and tend to build damaging items exclusively without any defensive items. Tryndamere is the poster boy for this, though this also extends to assassins like Katarina and Akali, gunslingers like Miss Fortune and Caitlyn, and other highly damaging melee fighters like Master Yi and Darius. The impression of typical Filipino MOBA players is that they tend to pick Badass Action Heroes and try to get killing sprees.

This was jossed on pre-season 5, which introduced the "Red Smite" and "Blue Smite" that can be thrown at enemy champions. Cue the completely new and inexperienced jungler fumbling through his controls trying to smite an enemy champion during an ambush and flubbing his gank as a result, with potentially fatal consequences. Up until pre-season 5 this spell could only be used against NPC targets - it simply would not target enemy champions. Explanation Junglers usually carry a summoner spell called Smite, which is used to deal damage to jungle monsters in order to clear the jungle camps faster for better gold gain. When ganking, make sure you smite the enemy." While this is obviously more effective against new players, occasionally an experienced player from anywhere on the ranked ladder will grab the Idiot Ball and get tricked. A common retort to show that no one is getting fooled goes "Press Alt+F4 to. Press D to Dance! Explanation A ongoing joke that's been around forever is to say this (or something similar) in the /all chat before minions spawn in hopes that an enemy will press D or F and waste a summoner spell before the fighting starts.One of the sources of this meme - the "Pro as heck Guide to Karthus", featuring Spawn Karthus.And now with his relaunch, Karthus is going to have a joke that says "What's the incantation again.The trailer in general is chock-full of references and Ascended Memes, some more cleverly hidden than others. Ascended Meme: In the LoL Mac trailer, there actually is a Big Red Button with an R on it with this meme as the instructions. ![]() Most often Karthus and his infamous Requiem but more recently got tagged onto Darius for his chain execution ults.
