Bard and Kindred are both universal spirits of Runeterra, known to multiple cultures, and by many names, none of which are the "correct" name. Thus they are known by titles that many of the names they have been given translate to. Saying that whoever made those names at Riot should be fired just makes you look like a spoiled child.

As well as the lowkey racism towards Ekko in your first couple of sentences about him (" I don't think Negroids do suit Runeterra " ... like dude, kinda racist.).

Also, all of the Globals introduced this year have huge limits. Rek'Sai can only go places she's gone and had used a specific ability before within the last 10 minutes, Ekko can only go where he was 8 seconds ago, and Bard's takes longer to activate the farther it's shot (seriously, actually using the global range is pretty much impossible because it takes the projectile like 7 seconds to get there).

Oh, and Kalista's Ult and Tahm's Devour are a lot less trolly than you think, as the person sucked in chooses when and which direction theyre fired out in, NOT Kalista/Tahm. If you're smart and don't panic, they're more likely to get themselves into trouble.

Overall kind of a whiny blog, with 'meh' opinions. 2/10
